RE:
  Update on Acquisition
 
DATE:
  November 3, 2004
 

I am writing to inform you that we have received notification that early termination has been granted to Netegrity and Computer Associates with respect to our Hart-Scott-Rodino filing. However, while we have now cleared the waiting period for HSR we are still awaiting news on the timing of the waiting period on our foreign antitrust filing.

We still believe we are on track for an end of November or early December close for the acquisition. Please feel free to contact me or any member of the management team if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Barry

Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this document regarding the proposed transaction between Computer Associates and Netegrity, the expected timetable for completing the transaction, future financial and operating results, benefits and synergies of the transaction, future opportunities for the combined company and any other statements about Computer Associates or Netegrity managements’ future expectations, beliefs, goals, plans or prospects constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (including statements containing the words “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “expects,” estimates and similar expressions) should also be considered to be forward-looking statements. A number of important factors could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including: the ability to consummate the transaction, the ability of Computer Associates to successfully integrate Netegrity’s operations and employees; the ability to realize anticipated synergies and cost savings; the emergence of new competitive initiatives resulting from rapid technological advances or changes in pricing in the market; market acceptance of new products and services and continued acceptance of existing products and services; risks associated with the entry into new markets; business conditions in the distributed systems and mainframe software and hardware markets; uncertainty and volatility associated with Internet and eBusiness-related activities; and the other factors described in Computer Associates’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2004 and its most recent quarterly report filed with the SEC and in Netegrity’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 and its most recent quarterly report filed with the SEC. Computer Associates and Netegrity disclaim any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this document.
