INTRODUCTION

This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO relates to the offer by CA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to cancel certain stock options previously granted to its employees under its 1991 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “1991 Plan”) with a grant date of July 20, 2000 in exchange for new options (the “New Options”).  The options granted on July 20, 2000 entitle the option holders to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at  an exercise price per share of  $27.00. The Company recently determined that the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the measurement date for those options for accounting and tax purposes was $37.50 per share, or $10.50 higher than the $27.00 per share exercise price. CA is making this offer because of potential adverse tax consequences to the option holders that apply when the exercise price of stock options is lower than the market price of a company’s stock on the measurement date for tax purposes. This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is being filed in conjunction with communications made relating to the commencement of the Tender Offer.
