2.02	Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On
January 24, 2012, CA, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal
quarter ended December 31, 2011. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein
by reference.
Item
7.01	Regulation FD Disclosure.
On January
24, 2012, the Company issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors has approved a capital allocation program
that targets the return of up to $2.5 billion to the Company's stockholders through the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.
The capital allocation program includes a planned increase in the Company's annual dividend from $0.20 to $1.00 per share
of common stock and the authorization for the Company to acquire up to $1.5 billion of its common stock, including approximately
$230 million remaining under the Company's current share repurchase authorization. The Company has declared a quarterly
dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 and a total of $500 million of the planned
repurchase is expected to be an accelerated share repurchase under an agreement executed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2012.
The events
described under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K are also described in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.2
hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
In accordance
with General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K furnished pursuant to Items 2.02
and 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section,
and it shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange
Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Cautionary
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The declaration
and payment of future dividends is subject to the determination of the Company's Board of Directors, in its sole discretion,
after considering various factors, including the Company's financial condition, historical and forecast operating results,
and available cash flow, as well as any applicable laws and contractual covenants and any other relevant factors.  The Company's
practice regarding payment of dividends may be modified at any time and from time to time.
Repurchases
under the Company's stock repurchase program are expected to be made with cash on hand and may be made from time to time,
subject to market conditions and other factors, in the open market, through solicited or unsolicited privately negotiated transactions
or otherwise. The program, which is authorized through fiscal year 2014, does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular
amount of common stock, and it may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company's discretion.

Certain statements
in this communication (such as statements containing the words "believes," "plans," "anticipates,"
"expects," "estimates," "targets" and similar expressions) constitute "forward-looking
statements" that are based upon the beliefs of, and assumptions made by, the Company's management, as well as information
currently available to management. These forward-looking statements reflect the Company's current views with respect to future
events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. 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 achieve success
in the Company's strategy by, among other things, increasing sales in new and emerging enterprises and markets, enabling
the sales force to sell new products, improving the Company's brand in the marketplace and ensuring the Company's
set of cloud computing, Software-as-a-Service and other new offerings address the needs of a rapidly changing market, while not
adversely affecting the demand for the Company's traditional products or its profitability; global economic factors or political
events beyond the Company's control; general economic conditions and credit constraints, or unfavorable economic conditions in
a particular region, industry or business sector; failure to expand partner programs; the ability to adequately manage and evolve
financial reporting and managerial systems and processes; acquisition opportunities that may or may not arise; the ability to
integrate acquired companies and products into existing businesses; competition in product and service offerings and pricing;
the ability to retain and attract qualified key personnel; the ability to adapt to rapid technological and market changes; the
ability of the Company's products to remain compatible with ever-changing operating environments; access to software licensed
from third parties; use of software from open source code sources; discovery of errors in the Company's software and potential
product liability claims; significant amounts of debt and possible future credit rating changes; the failure to protect the Company's
intellectual property rights and source code; fluctuations in the number, terms and duration of our license agreements as well
as the timing of orders from customers and channel partners; reliance upon large transactions with customers; risks associated
with sales to government customers; breaches of the Company's software products and the Company's and customers'
data centers and IT environments; third-party claims of intellectual property infringement or royalty payments; fluctuations in
foreign currencies; failure to effectively execute the Company's workforce reductions; successful outsourcing of various
functions to third parties; potential tax liabilities; and other factors described more fully in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should our assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as believed, planned, anticipated, expected, estimated
or targeted. The Company assumes no obligation to update the information in this communication, except as otherwise required by
law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
