              RANGER GOVERNANCE, LTD. CORRECTS TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR

Dallas, Texas, August 6, 2001 - Ranger Governance, Ltd. is correcting a
typographical error in the definitive proxy statement that it filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on July 27, 2001. The table beginning on page
A-2 of Ranger's proxy statement should have read as follows:

February 2, 2001                  sale                          39,314(3)
June 20, 2001             capital contribution                 971,865(4)

(1)  Represents sales of common stock by Tallulah, Ltd. Sam Wyly is the general
     partner of Tallulah, Ltd. and, as such, is deemed to have beneficial
     ownership of the shares held by it.
(2)  Represents the sale of common stock by the Andrew David Wyly Trust. Sam
     Wyly is the trustee of the trust and, as such, is deemed to have beneficial
     ownership of the shares held by it.
(3)  Represents the sale of common stock by the Christiana Parker Wyly Trust.
     Sam Wyly is the trustee of the trust and, as such, is deemed to have
     beneficial ownership of the shares held by it.
(4)  Represents the contribution to Ranger by Mr. Wyly of vested options to
     purchase common stock of Computer Associates.
(5)  Mr. Wyly filed a Form 4 with respect to Sterling Software, Inc. on April
     10, 2000, which erroneously overstated his acquisition of beneficial
     ownership of Computer Associates common stock, indicating that he had
     acquired beneficial ownership of 452,681 shares of stock (in addition to
     options, which were reported correctly). The overstatement occurred because
     such form failed to take into account Mr. Wyly's resignation as trustee
     under certain trusts which actually owned such stock.
