Filed by Computer Associates International, Inc. Pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1933 and deemed filed pursuant to Rule 14d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Subject Company: Sterling Software, Inc. Commission File No. 001-08465 February 14, 2000 Dear Sterling Software client: As you may have learned, Computer Associates today announced an agreement to acquire Sterling Software Inc. (http://www.ca.com/press/2000/02/sterling.htm). The planned merger is very exciting to everyone involved in both companies. By combining two world-class organizations with complementary technology, philosophies and values, we will be in a position to extend our global leadership in the delivery of software and services that enable faster, better, safer and more reliable eBusiness computing. Many of you may know CA from our leadership in key technology areas such as enterprise management and Internet security. In addition to these high growth markets, we are extremely focused on being the leading provider in storage and network management, business intelligence and portal solutions, and in the design, deployment and integration of enterprise applications. CA's business, built on a combination of world-class technology and high value-added consulting services, will immediately benefit from complementary technology and services from Sterling Software, helping you exploit the incredible opportunities afforded by the Internet era. Both Sterling Williams, the president and CEO of Sterling Software, and I are committed to making this transition and merger the best the industry has ever seen. While the next few months will be filled with intense discussion about integration opportunities, product strategies and plans for the combined company, our number one priority is to provide superior service, support, and an open line of communication to our clients. We invite you to contact us at www.ca.com/sterlingclient for any assistance during this transition, or on how we might engage your organization to more effectively support your business. We look forward to a long and productive partnership.
