The last paragraph of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

On March 19, 2012, Mr. Brody, Samuel I. Elder and Adam Fox, on behalf of the Reporting Persons, sent a letter to William E.

Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals at this time that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

William E. McCracken

Chief Executive Officer

CA, Inc.

One CA Plaza

Islandia, NY 11749

Mr. McCracken:

We are writing to commend you on CA’s recent initiatives to increase significantly the return of capital to shareholders. We believe the larger dividend and accelerated share repurchase are a powerful signal to investors that management intends to run the business in a more shareholder-friendly manner. The substantial increase in CA’s share price following the announcement of these actions reflects the market’s approval for this approach. We continue to see meaningful opportunities for the company to enhance shareholder value, including further increasing margins in the enterprise solutions business, better aligning management compensation with shareholder interests, and returning additional capital to shareholders.

As you know, since the time of our initial 13D filing on January 11, 2012, CA’s stock has returned over 30% based upon the March 19, 2012 closing price. The value of our investment in CA has increased accordingly and, as a result, we have elected to reduce our position for risk management purposes. Although the impact of this reduction will be to move our percentage ownership below the 5% threshold, CA remains our largest equity holding. We believe the stock has substantial upside and we intend to continue to work toward maximizing shareholder value.

Sincerely,
