OF THE PRINT, ELECTRONIC AND TELEVISION NEWS MEDIA ON JUNE 29, 2001:

"While we look forward to making our case directly to our shareholders, we
cannot ignore Mr. Wyly's false and misleading statements and we intend to hold

agreement he signed when he sold Sterling to CA."

                              IMPORTANT INFORMATION

THE FOLLOWING CA STATEMENT REGARDING WYLY'S ADDITION OF TWO NEW BOARD MEMBERS
WAS EMAILED TO VARIOUS MEMBERS OF THE PRINT, ELECTRONIC AND TELEVISION NEWS
MEDIA ON JUNE 29, 2001:


"Mr. Wyly's recent addition of two board members to his proposed slate really
doesn't change the dynamic of this situation. Mr. Wyly's plan to break the
company into four distinct business units is reckless and simply doesn't make
sense. CA's board and management are best positioned to deliver on the promise
of the new business model, and we are committed to creating and enhancing value
for both our shareholders and customers."
