This Annual Report on Form 10-K (Form 10-K) contains certain forward-looking information relating to CA, Inc. (which we
refer to as the “Company,” “Registrant,” “CA Technologies,” “CA,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) that is based on the beliefs of, and
assumptions made by, our management as well as information currently available to management. When used in this
Form 10-K, the words “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates,” “targets,” and similar expressions relating to the
future are intended to identify forward-looking information. Forward-looking information includes, for example, not only the
statements relating to the future made under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations” under Item 7, but also statements relating to the future that appear in other parts of this Form 10-K.
This forward-looking information reflects our current views with respect to future events and is subject to certain risks,
uncertainties, and assumptions, some of which are described under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A and elsewhere
in this Form 10-K. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should our assumptions prove incorrect, actual
results may vary materially from the forward-looking information described in this Form 10-K as believed, planned, anticipated,
expected, estimated, targeted or similarly identified. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements.
The declaration and payment of future dividends by the Company is subject to the determination of the Company’s Board of
Directors (the Board), 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 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
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.
The product and service names mentioned in this Form 10-K are used for identification purposes only and may be protected by
trademarks, trade names, service marks and/or other intellectual property rights of the Company and/or other parties in the
United States and/or other jurisdictions. The absence of a specific attribution in connection with any such mark does not
constitute a waiver of any such right. All other trademarks, trade names, service marks and logos referenced herein belong to
their respective companies.
References in this Form 10-K to fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, etc. are to our fiscal years ended on
March 31, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013, etc., respectively.
