     CA, Inc. (the “Registrant”) hereby incorporates herein by reference the following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”):

	(b)		The Registrant’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011 and the Registrant’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011;
	(c)		All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) since March 31, 2011;
	(d)		The description of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share, outlined in the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed on February 17, 1982 under the Exchange Act, which in turn incorporates by reference the description in the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 2-74618) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); and
	(e)		The description of the Registrant’s rights to purchase shares of Series One Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Class A, without par value, outlined in the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed on November 18, 2009 under the Exchange Act, which in turn incorporates by reference the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 5, 2009.

     All reports and other documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from their respective dates of filing (such documents, and the documents enumerated above, being hereinafter referred to as “Incorporated Documents”).

     Any statement contained in an Incorporated Document shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed Incorporated Document modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

     Under no circumstances will any information furnished under Items 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K be deemed incorporated by reference, unless such Form 8-K expressly provides to the contrary.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

     Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     C.H.R. DuPree, who rendered the opinion as to the legality of the Registrant’s common stock to be issued pursuant to this Registration Statement, is employed by the Registrant as Senior Vice President, Corporate Governance, and Corporate Secretary. Mr. DuPree is the beneficial owner of approximately 21,838 shares of the Registrant’s common stock (which includes shares that remain subject to vesting and transfer restrictions).

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Article EIGHTH of the Registrant’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides:

The corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as the same may be amended and supplemented, indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under said section from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by said section, and the indemnification provided for herein, shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any By Law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

     The Registrant’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, also limits the personal liability of directors for monetary damages in certain instances and eliminates director liability for monetary damages arising from any breach of a director’s duty of care.

     The Registrant maintains insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of the Registrant’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

     Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

     See the Index to Exhibits attached hereto.

Item 9. Undertakings.

A.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

	(i)		To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
	(ii)		To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and
	(iii)		To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs A(1)(i) and A(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

	(2)		That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
	(3)		To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

B.		The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C.		Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
