Weiss & Yourman Announces Notice of Class ActionAgainst Computer Associates International, Inc.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 5, 1998--Computer Associates International, Inc. ("CA" or the "Company")[Symbol:CA] was named a defendant in a class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Civil Action No. 98-5032, on behalf of purchasers of the Company's securities during the period January 20, 1998 through July 22, 1998 (the "Class Period").

The Complaint charges CA and certain officers and directors of the Company during the relevant time period with violating Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Complaint alleges that defendants issued a series of materially false and misleading statements concerning the demand for CA's products, trends in its business and the impact of the Asian financial crisis on its operations. Because of the issuance of a series of false and misleading statements, the price of CA securities was artificially inflated during the Class Period. Prior to the disclosure of the adverse facts described above, certain officers and directors of CA received over $1 billion in bonus stock grants and sold significant amounts of CA common stock to the unsuspecting investing public. These sales generated proceeds in excess of $40 million.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all class members and is represented by Weiss & Yourman, a law firm having significant experience and expertise prosecuting class actions on behalf of investors and shareholders in federal and state courts throughout the United States, particularly those involving financial reporting improprieties. The firm has repeatedly been appointed by courts as leading counsel in numerous complex litigations and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of investors.
