CALCULATION OF REGISTRATION FEE



Title of Securities to be Registered	Amount to be Registered ⁽³⁾	Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share ⁽⁴⁾	Proposed Maximum Aggregate Offering Price	Amount of Registration Fee ⁽⁵⁾
Deferred Stock Obligations ⁽¹⁾	450,000 units	$33.15	$14,917,500	$1,729
Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share, together with associated right to purchase shares of Series One Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Class A, without par value ⁽²⁾	450,000 shares	$33.15	$14,917,500	$0

(1)

The Deferred Stock Obligations are unsecured deferred compensation obligations of CA, Inc. (the “Registrant”) incurred in connection with a non-employee director’s deferral of annual director fees in accordance with the terms of the CA, Inc. 2012 Compensation Plan for Non- Employee Directors, as amended (the “Plan”), which obligations will be settled in shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share (“Common Stock”), after the director terminates service with the Registrant’s Board of Directors (the “Deferred Stock Obligations”).

(2)	Each share of Common Stock includes one right to purchase the Registrant’s Series One Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Class A, without par value. No separate consideration is payable for such rights.

(3)

In addition, pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, this Registration Statement also covers additional units of Deferred Stock Obligations and shares of Common Stock that may become issuable under the Plan by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration that results in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock. The 450,000 shares of Common Stock to be registered represent shares that will be issued to Plan participants in satisfaction of Deferred Stock Obligations under the terms of the Plan.

(4)	Estimated solely for purpose of computing the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and based on the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant’s Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on September 26, 2017.

(5)	Pursuant to Rule 457(i) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registration fee is calculated solely on the basis of the proposed offering price of the Deferred Stock Obligations, which convert to shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock at distribution under the terms of the Plan.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8, this registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) is being filed in order to register (a) an additional 450,000 units of obligations (the “Deferred Stock Obligations”) of CA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), to issue shares of its common stock, par value $0.10 per share (“Common Stock”) in the future in connection with the deferred payment of annual director fees that are deferred by or on behalf of eligible directors under the terms of the CA, Inc. 2012 Compensation Plan for Non- Employee Directors, as amended (the “Plan”) and (b) an additional 450,000 shares of Common Stock, together with associated right to purchase shares of Series One Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Class A, without par value (the “Series One Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Class A”) that may be issued under the Plan, which are securities of the same class and relate to the same employee benefit plan as those obligations and shares registered on the Registrant’s registration statement on Form S-8 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on September 5, 2012 (Registration No. 333-183731), which is hereby incorporated by reference.
