EXPLANATORY NOTE

        Ranger Governance, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership ("Ranger") is filing the materials contained in this Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a solicitation of proxies (the "Solicitation") in support of electing Ranger nominees to the board of directors of Computer Associates International, Inc. ("Computer Associates") at the 2001 annual meeting of stockholders of Computer Associates.

Why are these men smiling?

Charles B. Wang	Sanjay Kumar	Russell M. Artzt
Computer Associates Chairman	Computer Associates President and CEO	Computer Associates Executive Vice President

Is it because they don’t know 46% of their customers want out?

• A June 2001 study by Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates, Inc.* shows that only 15% of Computer Associates’ customers think the Company treats them well.
• Only 1 in 3 think “honesty” applies to CA.
• Only 1 in 5 say CA has “integrity.”
• Customers call CA’s senior management “unscrupulous,” “arrogant” and the “root of Computer Associates’ poor customer service.”

It is time for new leadership at Computer Associates.

A company that abuses its customers – and lavishly rewards top executives for doing so – can’t create value for shareholders. CA stock has returned a negative 11% to shareholders over the past 5 years, while in 1998 the Board of Directors granted Messrs. Wang, Kumar and Artzt over $1 billion in stock.

There is a better way, and a better team poised to lead the company into a brighter tomorrow. Ranger Governance, led by software pioneer Sam Wyly, is proposing new management under a truly independent Board of Directors.

Ranger Governance has a plan to unlock the value and potential of Computer Associates. The new Board will strategically realign the Company into four decentralized business units, and create a culture of innovation, accountability, extraordinary customer service, and real growth.

Integrity. Innovation. Increased Value for CA Shareholders.

Now that would be something to smile about.
