Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Effective as of March 6, 2006, upon the recommendation of the Compensation and Human Resource Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of CA, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company entered into an amendment (the “Gnazzo Amendment”) to the employment agreement (the “Gnazzo Agreement”) of Patrick J. Gnazzo, the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer. The Gnazzo Amendment extends the period during which the Company’s relocation policy is made available to Mr. Gnazzo until December 31, 2006 or such later time as mutually agreed to by the parties. The Gnazzo Agreement was previously filed as Exhibit 10.52 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K dated June 29, 2005 and is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the Gnazzo Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Gnazzo Amendment (including any schedules and exhibits thereto), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
On March 6, 2006, the Compensation Committee also added Michael J. Christenson, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Strategy and Business Development, as a “Schedule A” participant in the Company’s Change in Control Severance Policy; as such, he would be entitled to a severance payment equal to 2.99 times his salary and bonus, and to certain other benefits, in the event of a termination without “cause” or for “good reason” (as those terms are defined in such Policy, which is described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 22, 2004) following a change in control of the Company.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Effective March 7, 2006, by action of the Board of Directors, the Company amended its By-laws to change the title of the By-laws to reflect the Company’s name change from Computer Associates International, Inc. to CA, Inc. The name change, which was previously described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 1, 2006 became effective on February 1, 2006. A copy of the restated By-laws is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On March 7, 2006, the Board of Directors approved amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Designation of Series One Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Class A (the “Certificate of Designation”) to reflect the Company’s name change. The Company filed the amended and restated Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, effective March 8, 2006. A copy of the amended and restated Certificate of Designation is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On March 7, 2006, the Board of Directors also approved the restatement of its Certificate of Incorporation to include the amended and restated Certificate of Designation. The Company filed the restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, effective March 8, 2006. A copy of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On March 9, 2006, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Board of Directors authorized a $600 million common stock repurchase plan for fiscal year 2007.

The Corporation may have such other offices, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors may designate or as the business of the Corporation may require from time to time.
ARTICLE II.
STOCKHOLDERS
     Section 1. Annual Meeting . An annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors at such date, time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors from time to time. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.
     Section 2. Special Meeting . Special meetings of the stockholders, for any proper purpose or purposes, may be called only by the Board of Directors.
     Section 3. Place of Meeting . The place of meeting for any annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders shall be designated by or under the authority of the Board of Directors. If no such designation is made, the place of meeting shall be the registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware.
     Section 4. Notice of Meeting . Written or printed notice stating the place, date and time of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered, unless otherwise provided by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, or by these By-laws, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless the adjournment

1


 

is for more than 30 days or unless, after adjournment, a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, in either of which cases notice of the adjourned meeting will be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. Any previously scheduled meeting of the stockholders may be postponed, and (except as otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation) any special meeting of stockholders may be canceled, by resolution of the Board of Directors upon public notice given prior to the date previously scheduled for such meeting.
     Section 5. Record Date . In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which record date: (a) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders or adjournment thereof, shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting; (b) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, shall not be more than 10 days from the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors; and (c) in the case of any other action, shall not be more than 60 days prior to such other action. If no record date is fixed: (x) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (y) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with applicable law, or, if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action; and (z) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. Any stockholder of record seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall, by written notice to the Secretary, request the Board of Directors to fix a record date. The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within 10 days after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within 10 days of the date on which such a request is received, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth

2


 

the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation, as provided in the Delaware General Corporation Law.
     Section 6. Voting Lists . The officer or agent having charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall make or cause to be made, at least 10 days before each meeting of the stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order with the address of and the number of shares held by each, which list, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to such meeting, for a period of at least 10 days prior to such meeting, during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In addition, such list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of such meeting during the whole time of such meeting, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger or to vote at any meeting of stockholders.
     Section 7. Quorum; Adjournment; Required Votes . A majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote, present or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders. If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, the Chair of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. In the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. Unless otherwise provided by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-laws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders.
     Section 8. Proxies . At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder may vote by proxy (a) executed in writing by the stockholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney in fact; or (b) by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or an agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder; or (c) as otherwise permitted pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after three years from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.
     Section 9. Voting of Shares . Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, each outstanding share entitled to vote shall be entitled to one vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders.

3


 

Shares standing in the name of another corporation may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the by-laws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of such corporation may determine. Shares of its own capital stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of any corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.
     Section 10. Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting; Inspectors of Election; Procedures for Counting Consents .
     (a) Subject to Section 5 of this Article II, any action required to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders, or any other action which may be taken at a meeting of the stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. The Corporation shall give prompt notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent to stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation in the manner provided in the Delaware General Corporation Law.
     (b) Within three (3) business days after receipt of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in the manner provided in the Delaware General Corporation Law or the determination by the Board of Directors of the Corporation that the Corporation should seek corporate action by written consent, as the case may be, the Secretary shall engage nationally recognized independent inspectors of elections for the purpose of performing a ministerial review of the validity of the consents and revocations. The cost of retaining inspectors of election shall be borne by the Corporation. No action by written consent without a meeting shall be effective until such date as the inspectors certify to the Corporation that the consents delivered to the Corporation in accordance with this Section 10 represent at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.Consents and revocations shall be delivered to the inspectors upon receipt by the Corporation, the soliciting stockholders or their proxy solicitors or other designated agents. As soon as consents and revocations are received, the inspectors shall review the consents and revocations and shall maintain a count of the number of valid and unrevoked consents. The inspectors shall keep such count confidential and shall not reveal the count to the Corporation, the soliciting stockholder or their representatives or any other entity. As soon as practicable after the earlier of (i) 60 days after the date of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in the manner provided in the Delaware General Corporation Law or (ii) a

4


 

written request therefor by the Corporation or the soliciting stockholders (whichever is soliciting consents), notice of which request shall be given to the party opposing the solicitation of consents, if any, which request shall state that the Corporation or soliciting stockholders, as the case may be, have a good faith belief that the requisite number of valid and unrevoked consents to authorize or take the action specified in the consents has been received in accordance with these By-laws, the inspectors shall issue a preliminary report to the Corporation and the soliciting stockholders stating: (i) the number of valid consents; (ii) the number of valid revocations; (iii) the number of valid and unrevoked consents; (iv) the number of invalid consents; (v) the number of invalid revocations; (vi) whether, based on their preliminary count, the requisite number of valid and unrevoked consents has been obtained to authorize or take the action specified in the consents.
     Unless the Corporation and the soliciting stockholders shall agree to a shorter or longer period, the Corporation and the soliciting stockholders shall have 48 hours to review the consents and revocations and to advise the inspectors and the opposing party in writing as to whether they intend to challenge the preliminary report of the inspectors. If no written notice of an intention to challenge the preliminary report is received within 48 hours after the inspectors’ issuance of the preliminary report, the inspectors shall issue to the Corporation and the soliciting stockholders their final report containing the inspectors’ determination with respect to whether the requisite number of valid and unrevoked consents was obtained to authorize and take the action specified in the consents. If the Corporation or the soliciting stockholders issue written notice of an intention to challenge the inspectors’ preliminary report within 48 hours after the issuance of that report, a challenge session shall be scheduled by the inspectors as promptly as practicable. Following completion of the challenge session, the inspectors shall as promptly as practicable issue their final report to the soliciting stockholders and the Corporation, which report shall contain the information included in the preliminary report, plus all changes in the vote totals as a result of the challenge and a certification of whether the requisite number of valid and unrevoked consents was obtained to authorize or take the action specified in the consents. A copy of the final report of the inspectors shall be filed with the proceedings of meetings of stockholders.
     Section 11. Nominations of Directors .
     (a) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in these By-laws shall be eligible to serve as directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 11, who shall be entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 11.
     (b) Nominations by stockholders shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (i) in the case of an annual meeting, not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided,

5


 

however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is changed by more than 30 days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the earlier of the day on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure was made, and (ii) in the case of a special meeting at which directors are to be elected, not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the earlier of the day on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure was made. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (1) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (2) as to the stockholder giving the notice (A) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such stockholder and (B) the class and number of shares of the Corporation that are beneficially owned by such stockholder and also that are owned of record by such stockholder; and (3) as to the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, (A) the name and address of such person and (B) the class and number of shares of the Corporation that are beneficially owned by such person. At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by the Board of Directors for election as a director shall furnish the Secretary of the Corporation that information required to be set forth in the stockholder’s notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee.
     (c) No person shall be eligible to serve as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 11. The Chair of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these By-laws, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.
     Section 12. Notice of Stockholder Business .
     (a) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) by a stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice provided for in this Section 12, who shall be entitled to vote at such meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 12.
     (b) For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of paragraph (a) of this Section 12, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice with respect to an annual meeting must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the meeting is changed by more than 30 days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to

6


 

be timely must be received no later than the close of business on the 10th day following the earlier of the day on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure was made. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of the stockholder proposing such business, and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (iii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder of record and by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made and (iv) any material interest of such stockholder of record and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made in such business.
     (c) No business shall be conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 12; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 12 shall be deemed to affect the right of any stockholder to request the inclusion of a proposal in a proxy statement of the Corporation pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any successor thereto. Only such matters provided for in the Corporation’s notice of meeting shall be properly brought before a special meeting of stockholders. The Chair of the meeting shall, if the fact warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these By-laws, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.
     Section 13. Conduct of Meetings . The Board of Directors of the Corporation may adopt such rules, regulations and procedures for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with any such rules and regulations, the Chair of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to take all such actions as, in the judgment of such Chair, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the Chair of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an agenda and order of business for the meeting; (b) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (c) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the Chair shall permit; (d) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (e) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless, and to the extent, determined by the Board of Directors or the Chair of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure.

     Section 2. Number and Tenure . The Board of Directors shall consist of three or more members, the number thereof to be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. Directors need not be stockholders. Each director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor shall have been elected and shall have qualified.
     Section 3. Annual and Regular Meetings . An annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held, without other notice, immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of stockholders. The Board of Directors may also provide, by resolution, the time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, for the holding of other regular meetings without notice other than such resolution.
     Section 4. Special Meetings . Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by or at the request of the Chairman, the President, or the Secretary upon the written request of any two directors. The persons authorized to call special meetings of the Board of Directors may fix any place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the place for holding any special meeting of the Board of Directors called by them.
     Section 5. Notice . Notice of any special meeting or notice of a change in the time or place of any regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall be given to each director at his or her business or residence (a) in writing, by hand delivery, first-class or overnight mail or courier service, telegram, facsimile transmission, or electronic mail; or (b) orally, by telephone to the director or his or her representative. If mailed by first-class mail, such notice shall be deemed adequately given when deposited in the U.S. mail so addressed, with postage thereon prepaid, at least five days before such meeting. If by telegram, overnight mail or courier service, such notice shall be deemed adequately given when the telegram is delivered to the telegraph company or the notice is delivered to the overnight mail or courier service company at least 24 hours before such meeting.

If by telephone or hand delivery, such notice shall be deemed adequately given when delivered or given at least 12 hours before such meeting. A director may waive notice of any meeting.

Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or any waiver of notice of such meeting. A meeting may be held at any time without notice if all the directors are present or if those not present waive notice of the meeting.

     Section 7. Manner of Acting . The act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all the members of the Board of Directors or such committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or writings filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or such committee.
     Section 8. Vacancies . Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors, including a vacancy resulting from enlargement of the Board of Directors, may be filled by the directors by vote of a majority of the directors then in office though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by the plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office, or in the case of an enlargement of the Board of Directors, until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor shall have been elected and shall have qualified.
     Section 9. Compensation .

INDEMNIFICATION
     To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether brought by a third party or by or in the right of the Corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of, or in a similar capacity with respect to, any subsidiary or joint venture of the Corporation or other entity or enterprise, or as a fiduciary, trustee or administrator or in any similar capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan or other plan or program sponsored by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), liability, loss, judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Excise taxes assessed on any such person with respect to an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to be indemnifiable expenses, and action by any such person with respect to an employee benefit plan which he or she reasonably believes to be in the interests of the participants and beneficiaries of such plan shall be deemed to be action not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.
     Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by any such person in defending any such threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding shall be paid on behalf of such person by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding and within 30 days of receipt by the Secretary of the Corporation of (1) an application from such person setting forth the basis for such indemnification, and (2) an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article. A plea of guilty to a felony charge arising out of misconduct committed by such person in his or her capacity (a) as a director or officer of the Corporation, (b) as a director or officer of, or in a similar

15


 

capacity with respect to, any subsidiary or joint venture of the Corporation or other entity or enterprise referred to in the preceding paragraph of this Article, or (c) as a fiduciary, trustee or administrator or in a similar capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan or other plan or program sponsored by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation shall, for purposes of the mandatory advancement of expenses provided in the preceding sentence, constitute a final disposition of such action or proceeding. The financial ability of any person to make a repayment contemplated by this provision shall not be a prerequisite to the making of an advance.
     Such indemnity and right to advancement of expenses shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any person so indemnified pursuant to this Article. The right to indemnification and to advancement of expenses under this Article shall be a contract right. Such indemnification and advancement of expenses shall be in addition to any other rights to which those persons seeking indemnification and advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law, agreement, vote of stockholders, or otherwise.
     Any repeal or amendment of this Article by the Board of Directors or stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in applicable law shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any right to indemnification or advancement of expenses of any person existing at the time of such repeal or amendment. In addition to the foregoing, the right to indemnification and advancement of expenses shall be to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law or any other applicable law and all amendments to such laws as hereafter enacted from time to time.

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that, notwithstanding the foregoing resolution, all other terms of the Series One Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Class A, without par value (the Preferred Stock) of the Corporation, the designation and number of shares thereof, and the relative rights, preferences and limitations thereof, remain unchanged and are as set forth below:
     Series One Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Class A

          Section 2. Dividends and Distributions .

     (B) Except as otherwise provided herein, in any other Certificate of Designation creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock, or by law, the holders of shares of Series One Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

     (i) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series One Preferred Stock;
     (ii) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series One Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series One Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled; or
     (iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series One Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (as to dividends and upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series One Preferred Stock.
     (B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under Paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.
          Section 5. Reacquired Shares . Any shares of Series One Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or in any other Certificate of Designation creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law.

Thereafter, the holders of shares of Series One Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of shares of Common Stock plus an amount equal to any

4


 

accrued and unpaid dividends. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Series One Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
     (B) If the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the holders of shares of Series One Preferred Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the full preferential amount set forth in the first sentence of paragraph (A) above, then the entire assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the holders of Series One Preferred Stock shall be distributed among such holders in proportion to the shares of Series One Preferred Stock then held by them.
     (C) The foregoing rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up provided to the holders of Series One Preferred Stock shall be subject to the rights of the holders of any other series of Preferred Stock (or any other stock) ranking prior and superior to the Series One Preferred Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
          Section 7. Consolidation, Merger, etc .

In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series One Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the full extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as so amended.

     2. As of the date hereof, no shares of Series One Preferred Stock are outstanding and no shares of Series One Preferred Stock have been issued.
     3. That pursuant to the authority conferred on the Board of Directors of the Corporation by its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the provisions of Section 151(g) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors adopted the following resolutions at a meeting duly called and held on March 7, 2006:
     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation has deemed it advisable that the Certificate of Designation of Series One Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Class A (the “Certificate of Designation”) of the Corporation, be amended to reflect the Corporation’s change of name from “Computer Associates International, Inc.” to “CA, Inc.”, which name change became effective as of February 1, 2006;
     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT AND IT HEREBY IS:
     RESOLVED, that, pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation (hereinafter called the Board of Directors or the Board) and in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation, the Board of Directors hereby amends the title of the
A-1

 


 

Certificate of Designation by inserting the Corporation’s new corporate name, “CA, Inc.” in place of the Corporation’s old corporate name, “Computer Associates International, Inc.”; and
     FURTHER RESOLVED, that, notwithstanding the foregoing resolution, all other terms of the Series One Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Class A, without par value (the Preferred Stock) of the Corporation, the designation and number of shares thereof, and the relative rights, preferences and limitations thereof, remain unchanged and are as set forth below:
     Series One Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Class A
          Section 1. Designation and Amount . The shares of such series shall be designated as Series One Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Class A (the Series One Preferred Stock) and the number of shares constituting the Series One Preferred Stock shall be Five Hundred Thousand (500,000). Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series One Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by the Corporation convertible into Series One Preferred Stock.
          Section 2. Dividends and Distributions .
     (A) Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock (or any other stock) ranking prior and superior to the Series One Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series One Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, dividends in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent), equal to 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends declared on the Common Stock, par value $.10 per share (the Common Stock), and 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions declared on the Common Stock, other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise). Any such dividend on the Preferred Stock shall be payable on the same date as any dividend payable with respect to the Common Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series One Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which
A-2

 


 

is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
     (B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series One Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) of this Section immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock).
     (C) The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series One Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be the same date as the record date for the determination of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution thereon and shall be not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.
          Section 3. Voting Rights . The holders of shares of Series One Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:
     (A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Series One Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 1,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Series One Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
     (B) Except as otherwise provided herein, in any other Certificate of Designation creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock, or by law, the holders of shares of Series One Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.
     (C) Except as set forth herein, or as otherwise provided by law, holders of Series One Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action.

     (i) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series One Preferred Stock;
     (ii) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series One Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series One Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled; or
     (iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series One Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (as to dividends and upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series One Preferred Stock.
     (B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under Paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.
          Section 5. Reacquired Shares . Any shares of Series One Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or in any other Certificate of Designation creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law.
          Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up .
     (A) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series One Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any assets of the Corporation to the holders of Common Stock, the amount of $1,000.00 per share for each share of Series One Preferred Stock then held by them. Thereafter, the holders of shares of Series One Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of shares of Common Stock plus an amount equal to any
A-4

 


 

accrued and unpaid dividends. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Series One Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
     (B) If the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the holders of shares of Series One Preferred Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the full preferential amount set forth in the first sentence of paragraph (A) above, then the entire assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the holders of Series One Preferred Stock shall be distributed among such holders in proportion to the shares of Series One Preferred Stock then held by them.
