About Ranger Governance


         Corporate governance - "The relationships among various participants
         in determining the direction and performance of corporations."

                                       -    Robert A.G. Monks and Nell Minow
                                            Corporate Governance, 2nd Edition*



         RANGER GOVERNANCE, LTD. WAS FORMED IN JUNE 2001 to promote
state-of-the-art governance practices and to provide leadership for
shareholders who are determined to influence the decisions of those who run
their corporations and how they do it.

         Ranger's mission to date has been highly focused: to institute good
corporate governance at Computer Associates International, Inc. as a means to
act upon issues that have led to the dramatic decline in its stock price since
January of 2000.

         Founded by Charles and Sam Wyly, Ranger has chosen Stephen Perkins, a
seasoned corporate executive, to lead this governance renaissance. Mr. Perkins
formerly served as Executive Vice President and Communications Group Software
President of Sterling Commerce - a Wyly company sold to SBC Communications in
early 2000 for $3.9 billion.

         There are three primary participants in the governance structure:
management (led by the chief executive officer); the board of directors (led
by the chairman of the board); and the shareholders. When these three elements
are working in harmony - with common goals and interests - the resulting
synergy is able to increase corporate performance and benefit all
shareholders.

         With increasing frequency, there is a disharmony, and the interests
of shareholders are not being served. When this occurs, Ranger believes
shareholders have more than a right to speak out - as owners of the
corporation they have that responsibility.

         Ranger is determined to serve as a catalyst for corporate owners who
wish to make their voices heard. Ranger believes that strong governance will
come to define the future of public corporations.

         Welcome to investing in the 21st century.
