COMPUTER ASSOCIATES RESOLVES ANTITRUST CONCERNS OVER PROPOSED ACQUISITION
OF LEGENT; PROCEEDS TO COMPLETE TENDER OFFER

ISLANDIA, NY, July 28, 1995 -- Computer Associates International, Inc.
(NYSE: CA) announced today that it has reached an agreement with the U.S.
Department of Justice that will permit CA to complete its $1.8 billion
acquisition of Legent Corporation. CA also announced that its subsidiary,
VR126, Inc., is extending until 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on
Monday, July 31, 1995, its offer to purchase all outstanding shares of
common stock of Legent for $47.95 per share in cash.

The agreement with the Department of Justice requires CA to license on a
non-exclusive basis four VSE systems management products owned by Legent
to a party or parties acceptable to the Department. Those parties will be
able to offer the products in competition with CA. Existing clients for
those four products will have the option to elect whether to continue to
receive maintenance and support from CA. The agreement will become final
upon court order at the expiration of a statutory sixty day period.

"This is a great outcome for all concerned, said Sanjay Kumar, CA's
president and chief operating officer. "It's a win for Legent and CA
employees, our clients and shareholders. We said at the outset there was
little overlap between the CA and Legent product offerings. We appreciate
the effort made by the Department of Justice to review expeditiously the
more than 150 Legent products and narrow their concern to the few covered
by this agreement. The agreement with the Department will not materially
affect our ability to acquire and use the Legent assets.

"We envisioned the transaction as a means of bringing together two great
organizations with complementary products and thousands of highly
motivated and talented employees, Kumar said. "We can now get on with the
task of making the merger a reality and achieving the synergies that hold
such promise for our clients.

As a consequence of the extension of the expiration date, holders of Legent
common stock may tender or withdraw shares until 12:00 Midnight, New York
City time, on Monday, July 31, 1995. The tender offer was previously
scheduled to expire on July 28, 1995.

Based on the latest count of tendered shares, approximately 17,662,248
shares of Legent common stock have been validly tendered and not withdrawn
pursuant to the tender offer.
