                       IN OPPOSITION TO THE BOARD OF
            DIRECTORS OF COMPUTER ASSOCIATES INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                          ------------------------

                       ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
                                     OF
                  COMPUTER ASSOCIATES INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                       TO BE HELD ON AUGUST 28, 2002
                          ------------------------


         This Proxy Statement and the enclosed WHITE proxy card are being
furnished by Ranger Governance, Ltd. ("Ranger") to holders of shares of
common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the "Shares" or the "Common
Stock"), of Computer Associates International, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Computer Associates" or the "Company"), in connection with Ranger's
solicitation of proxies to elect its five nominees to the board of
directors of Computer Associates (the "Board of Directors") at Computer
Associates' 2002 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and at any and all
adjournments, postponements, continuations or reschedulings thereof (the
"2002 Annual Meeting").

         Ranger is a Texas limited partnership, and Ranger GP Governance,
L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company ("Ranger Governance"), is the
general partner of Ranger. Ranger was formed in June 2001 to solicit
proxies in opposition to the Board of Directors for the election of
directors at Computer Associates' 2001 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the
"2001 Annual Meeting"), and to promote what it believed to be more
responsible corporate governance at Computer Associates. Further
information concerning Ranger, Ranger Governance, Ranger's nominees
standing for election to the Company's Board of Directors at the 2002
Annual Meeting and other persons who are participants in Ranger's
solicitation of proxies, including Sam Wyly, a limited partner of Ranger
and manager of Ranger Governance, is provided in this Proxy Statement under
the headings "ELECTION OF DIRECTORS" and "THE RANGER NOMINEES," and in
Annex A.

         This Proxy Statement and the enclosed WHITE proxy card are first
being sent or given by Ranger to stockholders of Computer Associates on or
about July __, 2002.

         THIS SOLICITATION IS BEING MADE BY RANGER, AND NOT BY OR ON BEHALF
OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF COMPUTER ASSOCIATES.


         According to the preliminary proxy statement filed by Computer
Associates (the "Management Preliminary Proxy Statement") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on ______ __, 2002, the 2002 Annual
Meeting will be held on August 28, 2002 at _______ a.m., local time, at
______________________, and the record date for determining stockholders
entitled to notice of and to vote at the 2002 Annual Meeting is July 3,
2002 (the "Record Date"). As of the Record Date, Ranger was the holder of
record and beneficial owner of 100 Shares. Ranger also is the owner of
currently exercisable options to purchase an aggregate of 1,478,925 Shares,
with 1,309,905 of such options having an exercise price of $25.08 per Share
and 169,020 of such options having an exercise price of $24.19 per Share.
Ranger is deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares issuable upon
exercise of such options. The exercise prices of such options are
substantially in excess of the current market price of the Common Stock,
the closing price of which was $15.29 on July 8, 2002. Sam Wyly may be
considered the beneficial owner of the Shares and options to purchase
Common Stock held by Ranger by virtue of his interest in Ranger.


         According to the Management Preliminary Proxy Statement, at the
2002 Annual Meeting all eleven members of the Board of Directors will be
elected for one-year terms expiring at Computer Associates' 2003 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders. In opposition to the solicitation of proxies by
the Board of Directors, Ranger is proposing, and soliciting proxies in
support of, a slate of five nominees (the "Ranger Nominees") to stand for
election to the Board of Directors. The Ranger Nominees are Richard J.
Agnich, Max D. Hopper, Stephen R. Perkins, Ronald J. Robinson and Cece
Smith, and they will be standing for election in opposition to five
nominees of the Board of Directors, namely Russell M. Artzt, Alfonse M.
D'Amato, Willem F. P. De Vogel, Sanjay Kumar and Charles B. Wang. Ranger is
not opposing the election of the six other nominees of the Board of
Directors. If elected, the Ranger Nominees will constitute five of the
eleven members of the Board of Directors.

         RANGER URGES COMPUTER ASSOCIATES STOCKHOLDERS TO VOTE "FOR" THE
RANGER NOMINEES ON THE ENCLOSED WHITE PROXY CARD.

         As discussed in more detail under the heading "QUORUM AND VOTING"
in this Proxy Statement, stockholders who vote on the WHITE proxy card
furnished by Ranger will be able to vote for the election of the five
Ranger Nominees and, in addition, will be able to vote for the election of
six persons nominated by the Computer Associates Board of Directors,
constituting a full slate of eleven director candidates. The Ranger
Nominees, if elected, will constitute a minority of the members of the
Board of Directors and, accordingly, if the full Board of Directors is
present at a meeting, the Ranger Nominees, by themselves, will not be able
to cause any action to be taken or not be taken by the Board of Directors.
There is no assurance that any of the nominees of the Board of Directors
will serve as directors of Computer Associates if any of the Ranger
Nominees are elected.


         YOUR VOTE AT THIS YEAR'S ANNUAL MEETING IS VERY IMPORTANT, NO
MATTER HOW MANY OR HOW FEW SHARES YOU OWN. PLEASE SIGN AND DATE THE
ENCLOSED WHITE PROXY CARD OR VOTING INSTRUCTION FORM AND RETURN IT IN THE
ENCLOSED POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE PROMPTLY. PROPERLY VOTING THE ENCLOSED WHITE
PROXY CARD OR VOTING INSTRUCTION FORM WILL REVOKE ANY PROXY PREVIOUSLY
SIGNED BY YOU.

COMPUTER ASSOCIATES. Even if you may have voted on Computer Associates'
[COLOR] proxy card, you can easily change your vote and revoke that proxy
by signing, dating and returning the enclosed WHITE proxy card. ONLY YOUR
LATEST DATED PROXY WILL COUNT AT THE 2002 ANNUAL MEETING.

                  BACKGROUND; REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION

         Ranger solicited proxies in connection with Computer Associates'
2001 Annual Meeting held on August 29, 2001, in an effort to elect Ranger's
nominees to the Computer Associates Board of Directors (the "2001 Proxy
Contest"). Initially, Ranger's slate of nominees consisted of ten persons
who, if elected, would have constituted the entire membership of the Board
of Directors. On August 16, 2001, Ranger reduced its slate of nominees from
ten persons to four persons and such four nominees, if elected, would have
constituted a minority of the membership of the Board of Directors. At the
2001 Annual Meeting, the ten nominees of Computer Associates' Board of
Directors were elected for a term of one year; none of Ranger's four
nominees were elected as directors of Computer Associates.

         Following the 2001 Annual Meeting, Ranger continued to monitor the
financial and stock market performance of Computer Associates, as well as
its adherence to the various corporate governance principles advocated by
Ranger during the course of the 2001 Proxy Contest. Between September 2001
and March 2002, Ranger grew increasingly concerned as Computer Associates'
financial performance and stock price continued to deteriorate. It is
Ranger's belief that Computer Associates' senior management and Board of
Directors have failed to adequately address the financial and governance
issues raised during the 2001 Proxy Contest. As a result, Ranger has no
confidence in the willingness or ability of Computer Associates' current
senior management and Board of Directors to implement changes that Ranger
believes are necessary to improve Computer Associates' financial
performance and increase stockholder value.


         In March 2002, Ranger informed the directors of Computer
Associates that Ranger believes Computer Associates needs a new senior
management team and Ranger requested that the Board of Directors replace
Chairman Charles B. Wang, President and Chief Executive Officer Sanjay
Kumar and Chief Financial Officer Ira H. Zar. Ranger also informed the
Board of Directors of Ranger's belief that a change in Computer Associates'
corporate culture would be beneficial and that Computer Associates would
thrive under a new, highly qualified and well-respected Chief Executive
Officer.

         Ranger further informed the Board of Directors that while Computer
Associates had made certain changes in its corporate governance following
the 2001 Proxy Contest, Ranger believes much remains to be done. For
example, Ranger cited the fact that, while Computer Associates had revised
its "poison pill" in certain respects, it had not eliminated the "poison
pill." Ranger requested that Computer Associates' independent directors
meet with Ranger to discuss Ranger's view that Messrs. Wang, Kumar and Zar
be removed from their respective offices by the Board of Directors.


         On April 11, 2002, Computer Associates' independent directors sent
a letter to Ranger which, among other things, rejected Ranger's request for
a meeting to discuss the removal of Messrs. Wang, Kumar and Zar, and stated
that "those officers continue to enjoy our full confidence..."

         On June 27, 2002, Ranger publicly announced its intention to
commence a proxy solicitation to elect the Ranger Nominees to the Board of
Directors at the 2002 Annual Meeting, and on the same date Ranger furnished
a written notice to the Company of its intention to nominate the Ranger
Nominees in accordance with certain provisions of Computer Associates'
by-laws, as amended (the "By-laws").

         It is Ranger's strongly held belief that directors must be held
accountable for poor performance by corporate management, and Ranger
believes that Computer Associates' management has performed poorly. Ranger
believes that one of the most important responsibilities of a board of
directors of a public company is to select a well-qualified senior
management team. In failing to replace Messrs. Wang, Kumar and Zar, Ranger
believes that the Board of Directors has not lived up to that
responsibility.

         Ranger believes that the election of the Ranger Nominees to the
Board of Directors will add individuals with significant software-specific
industry and corporate governance experience. Ranger also believes the
Ranger Nominees have the skills and conviction to evaluate management
performance and would be capable of assisting with the selection of highly
qualified senior executives to replace Messrs. Wang, Kumar and Zar if the
Board of Directors determines to replace them. Ranger believes the
replacement of the Company's senior management is necessary in order to
begin implementing specific programs designed to stem the downward trend of
Computer Associates' stock price.

         Ranger believes that prompt and decisive action is needed to
increase investor confidence in Computer Associates and that the quickest
and surest way to increase investor confidence is to bring in a new,
well-qualified and highly-respected senior management team. As evidence of
what it believes to be an increasing lack of confidence in the current
senior management team, Ranger cites the following:


         o     Since August 29, 2001, the date of the 2001 Annual Meeting,
               Computer Associates' stock price has dropped from $32.00 on
               that date to $15.29 on July 8, 2002 - a decrease of 52% in
               little more than ten months.

         o     During the same period of time, the S&P 500 Index decreased
               by 15% and the S&P Systems Software Index decreased by 37%.
               Computer Associates is one of 16 companies included in the
               S&P Systems Software Index. The S&P Systems Software Index
               has replaced the S&P Computer Software and Services Index,
               which was discontinued in early 2002.

         o     Since January 26, 2000, the date when the stock closed at a
               high of $74.56, the price has fallen to $15.29 as of July 8,
               2002 - a decrease of more than 79% in two and one-half
               years.

         o     Revenues have eroded, decreasing from $6.09 billion in
               fiscal 2000, to $4.19 billion in fiscal 2001, to $2.96
               billion in the recently completed fiscal 2002 - a decrease
               of $3.13 billion or more than 51% in two years.(1)

         o     Basic earnings (loss) per Share worsened during the same
               two-year period from earnings of $1.29 in fiscal 2000, to a
               loss of ($1.02) in fiscal 2001, to an even greater loss of
               ($1.91) in fiscal 2002.(1)


         o     In March 2002, Computer Associates debt rating was
               downgraded by Moody's to two notches above "junk" bond
               status, and in February 2002, Standard & Poor's revised its
               rating outlook on the Company from stable to negative.



-----------
(1)      Information as to Computer Associates' revenue and basic earnings
         (loss) per share for its fiscal years ended March 31, 2000, 2001
         and 2002, are taken from the Computer Associates and Subsidiaries
         Consolidated Statements of Operations appearing in Computer
         Associates' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
         March 31, 2002 (the "2002 Form 10-K"). Reference is made to Note 1
         of Computer Associates' audited financial statements included in
         the 2002 Form 10-K for a description of Computer Associates'
         significant accounting policies, including its revenue recognition
         policies, and the changes made to its revenue recognition policies
         when Computer Associates adopted what it refers to as its "new
         Business Model" in December 2000. According to Computer
         Associates, contracts entered into in connection with the new
         Business Model result in less current recognized revenue than
         under the former model, although Computer Associates' total
         recognized revenue over the life of a contract will remain the
         same.




         As discussed above, the Ranger Nominees, if elected, would
constitute a minority of the directors serving on the Board of Directors
and, by themselves, would not be able to cause any action to be taken or
not be taken by the Board of Directors. Moreover, as discussed more fully
below under the heading "ELECTION OF DIRECTORS," the Ranger Nominees, if
elected, will owe fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Computer
Associates, and not to Ranger or to any other person or entity.


         In addition to the removal of the senior officers of Computer
Associates identified above, the Ranger Nominees, if elected, intend to
urge the Board of Directors to implement the following actions:

         o     Review all Computer Associates' accounting procedures and
               policies in order to ensure the highest degree of
               credibility and transparency.

         o     Review internal financial reporting systems, with the Chief
               Financial Officer meeting regularly with, and being directly
               accountable to, the independent Audit Committee of the Board
               of Directors.

         o     Redeem the Company's "poison pill" in order to remove what
               Ranger believes to be unnecessary impediments to third
               parties who may wish to make an offer to acquire the
               Company.

         o     Form a strategic technical committee composed of research
               and development and strategic managers for each of the
               Company's business units (which are referred to by Computer
               Associates as "brand units"), which would be chaired by the
               Chief Technology Officer. This committee's focus would be to
               ensure coordination among the business units, eliminate
               redundant activity, review the development of strategic
               products and the prospects for Company acquisitions, address
               issues of integration and interoperability among products
               and platforms, and monitor the Company's customer base for
               the technology they need.

         o     Overhaul and improve customer support activities so that the
               Company's support service for all customers is both
               simplified and more comprehensive. There would be a single
               point of contact for customers, and mechanisms for customers
               to voice complaints would be strengthened. There would be
               broader management contact directly with customers, with a
               focus on customer needs and relationship building. Directors
               would be urged to visit periodically with customers and
               attend annual user conferences.

         o     Increase emphasis on sales objectives and rewards to enhance
               product-line specialization and the leveraging of sales in
               existing data centers, with the goal of returning the
               Company to profitability by targeting selling opportunities
               to customers where Computer Associates already has
               established relationships with such customers.


         o     Reduce the Company's $3.8 billion of outstanding debt (as of
               the end of its most recent fiscal year as reported in the
               2002 Form 10-K) in order to strengthen its balance sheet and
               improve its liquidity. The Ranger Nominees expect to request
               the Board of Directors to consider a variety of measures
               typically employed by corporations to reduce debt,
               including, but not limited to, disposing of
               non-strategic/non-core assets, disposing of
               non-strategic/non-core products, and utilizing excess
               working capital, including the scheduled liquidation of
               installment accounts receivable.

         Ranger believes that the above actions, if implemented, would be
of benefit to Computer Associates and its stockholders. In particular,
Ranger believes that such actions may increase investor confidence in the
Company's financial reporting procedures, better integrate and coordinate
the Company's portfolio of products, refocus and improve the Company's
sales efforts, and strengthen the Company's balance sheet. Ranger believes
the Company's poison pill creates an obstacle to enhancing stockholder
value by discouraging potential purchasers of the Company. Ranger believes
the poison pill places too much discretion in the hands of the Company's
directors and may possibly be used by directors to entrench themselves and
management in office instead of maximizing stockholder wealth. There may be
certain disadvantages in removing the Company's poison pill. Namely, if the
poison pill remains in place it could discourage, delay or prevent a
takeover or change of control of the Company, or could prevent a sudden
shift in corporate policy and contribute to the stability of the Company's
corporate governance. However, as discussed above, Ranger believes that the
removal of the poison pill is in the best interests of the Company's
stockholders.


RANGER URGES ALL COMPUTER ASSOCIATES STOCKHOLDERS TO VOTE "FOR" THE RANGER
NOMINEES BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED WHITE PROXY CARD.


                                  GENERAL

Proxy Information


         As of the Record Date, Ranger was the holder of record and
beneficial owner of 100 Shares. In addition, Ranger is the owner of
currently exercisable options to purchase an aggregate of 1,478,925 Shares,
with 1,309,905 of such options having an exercise price of $25.08 per Share
and 169,020 of such options having an exercise price of $24.19 per Share.
Ranger is deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares issuable upon the
exercise of such options. The exercise prices of such options are
substantially in excess of the current market price of the Common Stock,
the closing price of which was $15.29 on July 8, 2002. The shares
beneficially owned by Ranger represent less than 1% of the Shares
outstanding and entitled to vote on the Record Date. Sam Wyly, through his
interest in Ranger, may be considered the beneficial owner of the Shares
and options to purchase Common Stock held by Ranger.


         The shares of Common Stock represented by each WHITE proxy card
which is properly executed and returned to Ranger will be voted at the 2002
Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. Executed
but unmarked WHITE proxy cards will be voted FOR the election of the five
Ranger Nominees (together with six nominees of the Computer Associates
Board of Directors), and will ABSTAIN with respect to the ratification of
KPMG LLP as the independent accountants of Computer Associates for the
fiscal year ending March 31, 2003. If any other matter properly comes
before the 2002 Annual Meeting, the named proxies will vote all proxies
granted to them in their sole discretion.

Proxy Revocation

         Whether or not you plan to attend the 2002 Annual Meeting, Ranger
urges you to vote FOR the election of the Ranger Nominees by signing,
dating and returning the WHITE proxy card in the enclosed envelope. You can
do this even if you may have voted on the [COLOR] proxy card solicited by
the Board of Directors. It is only the latest dated proxy that counts.

         Execution of a WHITE proxy card will not affect your right to
attend the 2002 Annual Meeting and to vote in person. Any stockholder
granting a proxy (including a proxy given to Computer Associates) may
revoke it at any time before it is voted by (i) submitting a duly executed
new proxy bearing a later date, (ii) attending and voting at the 2002
Annual Meeting in person, or (iii) at any time before a previously executed
proxy is voted, giving written notice of revocation either to Ranger c/o
Morrow & Co, Inc., 445 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022, or to
Computer Associates International, Inc., One Computer Associates Plaza,
Islandia, New York 11749, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Merely attending
the 2002 Annual Meeting without voting at the 2002 Annual Meeting will not
revoke any previous proxy which has been duly executed by you.

                             QUORUM AND VOTING

         Computer Associates will furnish stockholders with a definitive
proxy statement (the "Management Proxy Statement") in connection with the
Board of Directors' solicitation of proxies at the 2002 Annual Meeting.
Information concerning the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and
entitled to vote on the Record Date is required to be set forth in the
Management Proxy Statement and, in accordance with Rule 14a-5 (c) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), reference
is made to the Management Proxy Statement for such information. Only
stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date are
entitled to notice of and to vote on matters that come before the 2002
Annual Meeting.

         According to the By-laws, the presence in person or by proxy of
the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
entitled to vote at the 2002 Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a
quorum at the 2002 Annual Meeting.

         According to the Management Preliminary Proxy Statement, directors
will be elected by a plurality of votes cast by stockholders at the 2002
Annual Meeting. Votes not cast at the 2002 Annual Meeting because of broker
non-votes will be included for purposes of determining the presence of a
quorum, but will not be considered in connection with determining the
outcome of the election of directors. Computer Associates does not provide
for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

         There are five Ranger Nominees standing for election to the Board
of Directors. According to the Management Preliminary Proxy Statement,
eleven directors will be elected at the 2002 Annual Meeting, and the Board
of Directors has designated eleven nominees to stand for election (the
"Computer Associates Nominees").

         Accordingly, there will be sixteen nominees (five Ranger Nominees
and eleven Computer Associates Nominees) for eleven director positions on
the Board of Directors. Under Computer Associates' plurality voting
provisions, the eleven nominees who receive the greatest number of votes
will be elected. Stockholders who vote on the WHITE proxy card furnished by
Ranger will be able to vote for the five Ranger Nominees and, as discussed
below, also will be able to vote for six Computer Associates Nominees,
constituting a full slate of eleven persons. There is no assurance that any
of the Computer Associates Nominees will serve on the Board of Directors if
any of the Ranger Nominees are elected. Stockholders who use Computer
Associates' [COLOR] proxy card will not be able to vote for any of the
Ranger Nominees. Accordingly, any stockholder who wishes to vote for the
Ranger Nominees should vote on Ranger's WHITE proxy card.

         The eleven Computer Associates Nominees are identified in the
Management Proxy Statement. The five Computer Associates Nominees with
respect to whom Ranger is not seeking authority to vote and who may not be
voted for on Ranger's WHITE proxy card are Russell M. Artzt, Alfonse M.
D'Amato, Willem F.P. de Vogel, Sanjay Kumar and Charles B. Wang. Any
stockholder who wishes to vote for one or more of the Ranger Nominees and
for one or more of Messrs. Artzt, D'Amato, de Vogel, Kumar and Wang will be
unable to do so on either Ranger's WHITE proxy card or Computer Associates'
[COLOR] proxy card, and may only do so by voting by ballot at the 2002
Annual Meeting. Stockholders should refer to the Management Proxy Statement
for information concerning the Computer Associates Nominees.

         In addition to the five Computer Associates Nominees identified
above, there are six other Computer Associates Nominees. Ranger is not
opposing the election of such six other Computer Associates Nominees and
intends to use the WHITE proxy card to vote for their election.
Stockholders who use the WHITE proxy card may withhold authority to vote
for any of the five Ranger Nominees or any of the six Computer Associates
Nominees that Ranger will vote for by writing the name of that nominee in
the indicated space on the WHITE proxy card.

         Required information concerning the necessary vote to approve the
other matters being voted upon at the 2002 Annual Meeting and the effects,
if any, of abstentions and broker non-votes on such other matters, will be
set forth in the Management Proxy Statement and, in accordance with Rule
14a-5(c) under the Exchange Act, reference is made to the Management Proxy
Statement for such information.

                           ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

         Ranger is soliciting proxies in support of the election to the
Board of Directors of the following five Ranger Nominees for a one-year
term expiring at the 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their
respective successors are duly elected and qualify: Richard J. Agnich, Max
D. Hopper, Stephen R. Perkins, Ronald J. Robinson and Cece Smith.

         The By-laws provide that there shall be three or more directors,
with the number of directors to be fixed from time to time by resolution of
the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is currently comprised of
eleven directors, and eleven directors will be elected at the 2002 Annual
Meeting. In accordance with the By-laws, Ranger has provided written notice
to Computer Associates of its intent to nominate the Ranger Nominees for
election as directors at the 2002 Annual Meeting. Ranger has nominated the
Ranger Nominees to fill five of the eleven available seats on the Board of
Directors.


         Each of the Ranger Nominees has consented to serve as a Ranger
Nominee and to be named as a Ranger Nominee in this Proxy Statement, and to
serve as a director of Computer Associates, if elected. If any Ranger
Nominee is unable to serve or otherwise unavailable to stand for election
as a director at the 2002 Annual Meeting, Ranger intends to nominate a
replacement nominee for election. Should one or more replacement nominees
be required, the named proxies will exercise their discretionary authority
to vote for any replacement nominee selected by Ranger.


         If the Ranger Nominees are elected to the Board of Directors, the
Ranger Nominees would constitute only five of the eleven members serving on
the Board of Directors. Since the By-laws provide that action by the Board
of Directors requires a majority vote of the directors present at a meeting
at which a quorum is present, the five Ranger Nominees, by themselves,
ordinarily would not be able to cause any action to be taken or not taken
by the Board of Directors (unless fewer than ten directors are present at a
meeting of the Board of Directors, and the Ranger Nominees present at such
meeting constitute a majority of all directors present at such meeting).
Nevertheless, the five Ranger Nominees may, because of their different
backgrounds and expertise, be able to inform and persuade other directors
sufficiently to cause the Board of Directors to take or not take various
actions.


         If elected, the Ranger Nominees will owe fiduciary duties to the
stockholders of Computer Associates, and not to Ranger or to any other
person or entity. The Ranger Nominees are committed to acting in the best
interests of Computer Associates' stockholders and, subject to their
fiduciary duties as directors of Computer Associates, will, to the extent
possible, attempt to persuade the Board of Directors to implement the
various matters discussed in this Proxy Statement under the heading
"BACKGROUND; REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION." The implementation of such
matters would be subject to events and circumstances that the Ranger
Nominees may not currently be aware of, as well as events and circumstances
that have not yet occurred and cannot readily be predicted, such as (i)
actions of the Board of Directors not known to the Ranger Nominees, (ii)
the views of the Ranger Nominees, (iii) the views of officers and other key
employees of Computer Associates, (iv) developments in Computer Associates'
business, operations and financial performance, (v) changes in the U.S. and
global economies, debt and equity markets, and (vi) any future judicial
decisions or governmental actions regarding the business of Computer
Associates, the management of Computer Associates, or the Board of
Directors.

                                           Pearle Health Services, Inc., a

                                           served as a director from 1992

                                           also a CPA.


         Except for Mr. Perkins who is a joint, beneficial owner of 1,000
Shares with his wife, none of the Ranger Nominees own any Shares (except
insofar as any Ranger Nominee may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of
the Shares beneficially owned by Ranger pursuant to the letter agreements
described below). As discussed below, each Ranger Nominee has an economic
interest in 20,000 options to purchase shares of Common Stock.

         Each Ranger Nominee has entered into a letter agreement with
Ranger that provides that Ranger will indemnify and hold harmless the
Ranger Nominee from any and all liabilities, losses, claims, damages and
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)
(collectively, "Losses") based upon or arising out of the solicitation of
proxies by Ranger from Computer Associates' stockholders and the
willingness of the Ranger Nominee to stand for election as a director of
Computer Associates, except to the extent that any such Losses (i) may
arise out of inaccurate written information supplied by the Ranger Nominee
in connection with Ranger's solicitation of proxies or (ii) are found in a
final judgment by a court, not subject to further appeal, to have resulted
from bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the
Ranger Nominee.


         Each letter agreement also provides that Ranger will grant to each
Ranger Nominee an economic interest in 20,000 options to purchase Computer
Associates Common Stock presently held by Ranger (the "Options"). The
Options expire on October 6, 2006 and have an exercise price of $25.08 per
Share. Ranger will pay each Ranger Nominee, whether or not the Ranger
Nominee is elected to the Board of Directors, an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of the market price of the Common Stock over the exercise
price of the Options, as determined on the earlier of (i) October 6, 2006
and (ii) the date Ranger has exercised an aggregate of at least 140,000
Options after the date of such letter agreements. The $25.08 exercise price
of the Options is substantially in excess of the current market price of
Common Stock, the closing price of which was $15.29 on July 8, 2002, and
there will be no economic value in the Option interests granted by Ranger
to the Ranger Nominees unless the market value of the Common Stock exceeds
the exercise price on the payment date described above. In addition, each
letter agreement provides that Ranger shall pay to each Ranger Nominee,
whether or not the Ranger Nominee is elected to the Board of Directors, the
sum of $20,000 for serving as a Ranger Nominee.


         Each of the Ranger Nominees, if elected, will be entitled to
receive compensation customarily paid by Computer Associates to its
independent directors, which is described in the Management Proxy
Statement.

         Ranger reserves the right to nominate substitute persons as Ranger
Nominees if Computer Associates makes or announces any changes to the
By-laws or takes or announces any other action that has, or if consummated
would have, the effect of disqualifying any of the Ranger Nominees. In
addition, if Computer Associates causes any additional directorships to be
voted upon at the 2002 Annual Meeting, Ranger reserves the right to
nominate additional persons to fill the added positions. Shares represented
by Ranger's WHITE proxy cards will be voted for any such substitute or
additional nominees of Ranger.

                       OTHER MATTERS TO BE VOTED UPON

         In addition to electing directors, stockholders will be asked at
the 2002 Annual Meeting to vote upon ratifying KPMG LLP as Computer
Associates' independent auditors for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003.
Ranger does not make any recommendations regarding this matter. If
stockholders provide instructions regarding this matter on the enclosed
WHITE proxy card, Ranger will vote the Shares as directed; if no such
instructions are given, Shares represented by Ranger's WHITE proxy card
will abstain on this matter. Submitting a WHITE proxy card will entitle the
named proxies to vote your Shares in accordance with their sole discretion
on matters not described in this Proxy Statement that may arise at the 2002
Annual Meeting.

                     SOLICITATION OF PROXIES; EXPENSES

         The total cost of this proxy solicitation (including fees of
attorneys, financial advisors, proxy solicitors and printing and mailing
expenses) will be borne by Ranger, and is estimated to be approximately
$________. Approximately $________ of such costs have been incurred to
date. Ranger will not seek reimbursement from Computer Associates for the
costs of this proxy solicitation.


         Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone, telefax, telegraph,
Internet, e-mail and in person. While Ranger may make solicitations via the
Internet, Ranger will not provide stockholders with proxy cards via the
Internet and will not provide stockholders with a means to vote their
proxies via the Internet. Officers and certain employees of Ranger and its
affiliates and the other participants listed on Annex A hereto, may assist
in the solicitation of proxies without any additional remuneration.

         Ranger has retained Morrow & Co., Inc. ("Morrow") for solicitation
and advisory services in connection with the solicitation of proxies
relating to the 2002 Annual Meeting, for which Morrow will receive a fee
not to exceed $850,000, plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses. Ranger has agreed to indemnify Morrow against any liabilities and
expenses relating to or arising out of Morrow's engagement by Ranger,
except for any liabilities and expenses resulting from any failure by
Morrow or its employees to comply with the agreement between Morrow and
Ranger and except for any liabilities and expenses resulting from the gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of Morrow or its
employees. Morrow will utilize approximately 40 people to solicit proxies
from Computer Associates stockholders.


                 CERTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THE PARTICIPANTS

         Ranger, Ranger Governance, the Ranger Nominees, Sam Wyly, a
limited partner of Ranger and manager of Ranger Governance, and certain
other persons identified in Annex A are participants (collectively, the
"Participants," and each, a "Participant") in Ranger's solicitation of
proxies for the 2002 Annual Meeting within the meaning of the federal
securities laws. Information in this Proxy Statement and in Annex A about
each Participant was provided by that Participant.

                             OTHER INFORMATION

         Except for the election of directors to the Board of Directors and
the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as the independent
accountants for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003, Ranger is not aware
of any other matter to be presented for consideration at the 2002 Annual
Meeting. However, if any other matter properly comes before the 2002 Annual
Meeting, the persons named as proxies by Ranger will exercise their
discretionary authority to vote on such matters in accordance with their
best judgment.
