Netegrity/Computer Associates Acquisition

International Employee Questions and Answers

Second Update

For Internal Use Only

October 14, 2004

The following is intended to provide you a general summary of the treatment of certain of your Netegrity equity awards and benefits in connection with the proposed transaction between Netegrity and Computer Associates (CA), subject to the closing of such transaction under the merger agreement executed by the parties. All of the answers and information provided in this document remain subject to any applicable agreements, plan provisions, laws and regulations (including, without limitation, any black out periods, securities laws, trading restrictions, etc.).

Stock Options:

Q.   Can you give us a further explanation of how the stock option conversion will work after the close?

A   The Netegrity options will be assumed by CA and converted into options to purchase CA stock. The number of shares underlying the options and the exercise price will be adjusted to take into account the ratio of the value of Netegrity stock in the transaction and the value of CA stock at the time of the closing of the transaction (i.e., the ‘conversion ratio’). The aggregate value of the options will remain the same. The following example demonstrates the conversion and the application of the conversion ratio:

Netegrity (NETE) employee owns the following:

     
# of NETE options
  1,000
Exercise Price per share
  $4.00
Cost to exercise all NETE options
  $4,000

Conversion to Computer Associates (CA) options

     
Conversion Ratio:
   
NETE merger price (fixed)
  $10.75
CA Price
  $27.00 (Example)*

* Actual price will be based on the 5 day closing average prior to the closing of the acquisition)

 


 

     
Conversion Ratio ($10.75/$27.00)
  0.3981

Netegrity employee’s options convert to the following:

     
Converted # of options
  = 1,000*0.3981
 
  398
     
Converted exercise price per share
  = $4.00/0.3981
 
  $10.05
     
Cost to exercise all CA options
  $4,000

Q.   What is the vesting schedule for my Netegrity options that convert to CA options?
 
A.   The newly converted options will continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that are in effect prior to the closing of the transaction, including the same vesting schedule.
 
Q.   How should we proceed to exercise our stock options at CA’s Price ($10.75) once the merger is approved?
 
A.   At the time of the merger, all of your options will convert into CA stock options based on the example above. You will then have the same vested balance and can continue to trade taking into consideration any black out period or other applicable policies or laws that may be in effect. Only shares that are owned at the time of the closing of the transaction will be converted into cash in the transaction. Therefore, if you wish to receive cash for your shares at the time of the closing, you will need to have exercised your vested options prior to the closing. A Netegrity option that is an ISO or a non-qualified option will convert into an ISO or a non-qualified option, respectively, on CA stock subject to applicable laws and regulations.
 
Q.   Since we announced earnings for Q3 last week, has the blackout period been raised?
 
A.   Yes, the next Netegrity black out period will begin according to policy, 15 days before the end of the quarter, unless the closing happens before then. After the closing, black out periods will be subject to the CA policy.
 
Q.   Can you give us an overview of the Benefits at CA?

 


 

A.   We are currently working on providing country specific benefit overviews for you. We will send them out as soon as possible. Until the closing of this transaction all Netegrity benefits will remain in effect.
 
Q.   Who do I call with any questions about the acquisition?
 
A.   Please refer your questions to your current manager. If your manager cannot answer your question, please send an email to integration@netegrity.com and your question will then be routed to the appropriate individual. We will aim to answer your question within 48 hours.

Important Additional Information will be Filed with the SEC

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

A.   If the closing happens during an ESPP offering period, the ESPP will be terminated as of or immediately prior to the closing and the balance in your account will be used to purchase Netegrity shares at the ESPP purchase price (and any fractional shares will be paid out to you in cash). Those Netegrity shares will converted into cash in the transaction in accordance with the merger agreement. For example, if you have a $200 account balance under the ESPP and the ESPP purchase price is $9.13, your $200 will be used to purchase 21 Netegrity shares and the balance, $8.27, will be paid to you in cash. At the closing, your 21 shares of Netegrity common stock would be converted into cash at $10.75 per share, giving you a total of $225.75.
 
Q.   Can you give us an overview of the Benefits at CA?
 
A.   Please find attached a general summary of CA’s U.S. Benefits for 2005. Once we are able to work together on integration plans, we will provide you more specific details about the benefits that will be made available to you, as well as when they would take effect. Until the closing of this transaction all Netegrity benefits will remain in effect. A note: Netegrity contemplated using the Cigna network last year when they had their annual benefit review. At that time there was a 96% match of physician networks between Cigna and Health Plans Inc. A reminder, all previous service time will be carried over for benefit eligibility purposes.
 
Q.   If I am eligible for a referral bonus with Netegrity, will I still receive it if the acquisition closes before the completion of 90 days.
 
A.   Yes, provided the parameters of the referral bonus program are met you will still be entitled to the bonus.
 
Q.   If I have been approved for tuition reimbursement and have not yet completed a course before the closing will I still be entitled to my reimbursement?
 
A.   Yes, CA intends to honor all tuition reimbursement claims that have been approved up to the closing. CA also has a tuition reimbursement program that is very close to Netegrity’s.
