Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On August 8, 2018, effective upon the election of directors at the CA, Inc. (the “Company”) 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2018 Annual Meeting”), Arthur F. Weinbach retired as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), having reached the mandatory retirement age set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles. Also effective upon the election of directors at the 2018 Annual Meeting, Laura S. Unger retired from the Board. Prior to his retirement, Mr. Weinbach had also served as a member of the Mergers and Acquisitions Committee of the Board. Prior to her retirement, Ms. Unger had also served as a member of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board. Upon Mr. Weinbach’s and Ms. Unger’s retirements and the election of ten (10) directors at the Annual Meeting, the size of the Board was reduced from eleven (11) to ten (10) directors.

On August 8, 2018, the Board elected Michael P. Gregoire, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a current director on the Board, to serve as Chairman of the Board following Mr. Weinbach’s retirement. Mr. Gregoire’s compensation will not change in connection with his service as Chairman of the Board. A copy of the press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Gregoire is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Also on August 8, 2018, the Board elected Rohit Kapoor, a current director on the Board, to serve as Lead Independent Director of the Board following Mr. Weinbach’s retirement, in accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles.

On August 8, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board took the following actions:

•

Approved an amendment to the Company’s 2011 Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) to clarify (i) that certain vesting provisions contained in the 2011 Plan that arise in connection with a change of control would apply to all types of equity-based awards granted under the 2011 Plan prior to July 11, 2018, including awards of restricted stock units, and (ii) how certain definitions used in the 2011 Plan would apply to any vesting acceleration provisions that might apply to these outstanding awards under the 2011 Plan.

•

Approved an amendment to the Company’s Change in Control Severance Policy (the “Severance Policy”) to provide that to the extent the payments and benefits payable thereunder would constitute “excess parachute payments” for purposes of Section 280G under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), such payments and benefits would be either (1) paid in full, or (2) be reduced so that no payments or benefits would be treated as “excess parachute payments,” whichever would result in a greater net-after-tax amount to a participant after taking into account any excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code and any applicable federal, state and local taxes.

Copies of the 2011 Plan and the Severance Policy, both as amended, are furnished hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.
