To our stockholders:

 

A special meeting of stockholders of Science Applications International Corporation, or Old SAIC, will be held at SAIC Conference Center, 1710 SAIC Drive, McLean, Virginia, on August 29, 2006, at 1:00 p.m. (local time). For the convenience of our stockholders, the meeting will be videocast to Conference Room 2040 in Building D of our offices at 10260 Campus Point Drive, San Diego, California and at other locations, and will be webcast on our website (www.saic.com) and on our internal website, ISSAIC. The enclosed proxy statement/prospectus updates and replaces the proxy statement/prospectus dated November 17, 2005 that was distributed to stockholders of Old SAIC for a special meeting of stockholders scheduled to be held on December 16, 2005.

 

At the special meeting, stockholders will vote on a proposed merger, the purpose of which is to facilitate our becoming a publicly traded company. In the merger, Old SAIC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly-formed parent company, SAIC, Inc., or New SAIC. Holders of Old SAIC stock will be entitled to receive two shares of New SAIC class A preferred stock for every share of Old SAIC class A common stock and 40 shares of New SAIC class A preferred stock for every share of Old SAIC class B common stock.

 

After the merger we intend to offer shares of New SAIC common stock to the public in an initial public offering, or IPO. The new common stock will have the same economic rights as the new class A preferred stock, but holders of the new class A preferred stock will be entitled to 10 votes per share whereas holders of the new common stock will be entitled to one vote per share. Upon completion of the IPO, we anticipate that our current stockholders will own from 80% to 90% of New SAIC’s outstanding capital stock and will possess substantially all of the voting power.

 

The board of directors of Old SAIC also will declare a special cash dividend payable to all holders of record of Old SAIC common stock, including Old SAIC’s directors and executive officers, prior to the merger. The special dividend is expected to range from approximately $10 to $15 per share of Old SAIC class A common stock and approximately $200 to $300 per share of Old SAIC class B common stock, which is the equivalent of a range from approximately $5 to $7.50 per share of new class A preferred stock. Payment will be conditioned upon completion of the IPO.

 

We are pursuing the IPO because, after a thorough review of several options, we have determined that it will best address our long-term objectives. The principal purpose of the IPO is to better enable us to use our cash and cash flows generated from operations to fund internal growth and growth through acquisitions as well as provide us with publicly traded stock that can be used for future acquisitions. Creating a public market for our common stock will eliminate our use of cash to provide liquidity to our stockholders by repurchasing their shares in the limited market.

 

We are also asking you to approve and adopt our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. These plans will enhance our ability to attract and retain employees, who are key to our continued success. The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will allow eligible employees to purchase shares of our new class A preferred stock or new common stock at a discount through payroll deductions.

 

Our board of directors has unanimously determined that the merger and the related transactions are advisable and in the best interests of our stockholders, and unanimously recommends that you vote FOR each of the proposals described in the enclosed proxy statement/prospectus.

 

You should carefully consider the risk factors relating to the transactions, our stock and our business, which are described beginning on page 31 of the enclosed proxy statement/prospectus.

 

Sincerely,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

 

The following questions and answers are provided for your convenience and briefly address some commonly asked questions about the proposed transactions, including the merger, the initial public offering and the special dividend. A more detailed description of these matters can be found in the other parts of this proxy statement/prospectus. We urge you to read the entire proxy statement/prospectus carefully.

 

In this proxy statement/prospectus, we use the terms “SAIC,” “we,” “us” and “our” to refer to Science Applications International Corporation or SAIC, Inc. when the distinction between the two companies is not important. When the distinction is important to the discussion, we use the term “Old SAIC” to refer to Science Applications International Corporation and “New SAIC” to refer to SAIC, Inc. In addition, we sometimes refer to the common stock of Science Applications International Corporation as “Old SAIC common stock,” and when the distinction is important, as “class A common stock” and “class B common stock.” We also sometimes refer to the class A preferred stock of SAIC, Inc. as “new class A preferred stock” and to the common stock of SAIC, Inc. as “new common stock.”

 

Overview of the Transactions

 

Q1.   What transactions do we intend to complete?

 

A.   We intend to complete the following transactions:

 

    a merger pursuant to which Old SAIC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of New SAIC, and each share of outstanding class A common stock will be converted into the right to receive two shares of class A preferred stock of New SAIC and each share of outstanding class B common stock will be converted into the right to receive 40 shares of class A preferred stock of New SAIC

 

    an initial public offering, or IPO, of new common stock of New SAIC through which we will raise cash from new investors

 

    a special dividend which we will pay to the current stockholders of Old SAIC

 

Q2.   Why are we pursuing these transactions?

 

A.   We are pursuing these transactions because, after a thorough review of several options, we have determined that an IPO will best address our long-term objectives. The merger is a necessary step for us to take in order to effect our IPO. The IPO will provide us with greater financial flexibility to grow our business. We also believe these transactions enable us to implement our vision and long-term strategy while preserving our core values, and focus on providing an environment where our employees’ entrepreneurial spirit can flourish. Specifically, we believe the IPO is the preferred alternative because it will:

 

   

Enable us to use our cash and cash flows generated from operations to fund internal growth and growth through acquisitions. Although we had no legal obligation to do so, over the five fiscal years ended January 31, 2006 we used more than $2.4 billion of cash to provide liquidity to our stockholders by purchasing shares in our limited secondary market and in other transactions. We have maintained excess cash to address this ongoing imbalance in our stock system caused by more shares sold by selling stockholders than the number of shares purchased by buyers other than us. In referring to our stock system, we include the issuance, purchase or sale of our common stock in the limited market, as well as the various benefit program and retirement plan transactions. We expect that this significant stock system imbalance, and the related need to maintain excess cash, would


Table of Contents
 

continue for the foreseeable future without the IPO. Creating a public market for our common stock will eliminate our use of cash to provide liquidity to our stockholders by repurchasing their shares in the limited market or in other transactions.

 

    Provide us with the ability to use our publicly-traded common stock to pursue stock-based acquisitions that otherwise might not be available to us. We intend to continue our disciplined approach to internal investments and acquisitions that support our strategic growth plans.

 

Our board of directors has carefully studied this question and unanimously believes that creating a publicly traded stock is in the best interests of the company and our stockholders and employees.

 

Q3.   Why are we pursuing these transactions now?

 

A.   Our senior management and board of directors have determined that our stockholders will be best served by conducting an IPO while the business environment is favorable and our business operations and our balance sheet are strong. If the imbalance in our stock system were to continue, we might be unable to make the necessary investments to support our internal growth and growth through acquisitions.

 

Q4.   Did we consider any other options besides the IPO?

 

A.   Yes. As we previously communicated to our employees and stockholders, our senior management and board of directors reviewed various alternatives that would enable us to preserve our culture, implement our vision and long-term strategy and address the stock system imbalance. After reviewing our options—including seeking private equity capital, issuing additional long-term debt and various means for increasing employee purchases of our common stock—we have determined that an IPO will best address our needs.

 

Q5.   How will the merger and the IPO affect our corporate structure?

 

A.   Old SAIC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of New SAIC, a newly formed company that is named “SAIC, Inc.” The stockholders of Old SAIC and the investors purchasing stock in the IPO will become the stockholders of New SAIC. The diagram on page 17 illustrates the merger and its effect on our corporate structure.

 

Q6.   Will our new corporate structure affect the way we conduct business?

 

A.   The merger and the new corporate structure are necessary for us to complete our IPO. They will not affect our day-to-day business operations, the way we conduct business with our customers or the way we interact with our employees.

 

Q7.   How will the IPO affect our employee ownership culture?

 

A.   We believe that much of our success can be attributed to our culture of employee ownership and the entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to growing our business it inspires in our employee owners. We do not believe the IPO will change those important aspects of our culture. We expect to sell in the IPO a number of shares that will be sufficient to create a public trading market in our new common stock with satisfactory liquidity. After the IPO, New SAIC will remain predominantly owned by the existing stockholders. Immediately after the IPO, new class A preferred stock will constitute from 80% to 90% of our outstanding capital stock and substantially all of our voting power. In addition, we will be issuing additional shares of new class A preferred stock and new common stock in the future to our employees, directors and consultants pursuant to our employee benefit plans.

Table of Contents
Q8.   Will our relationships with customers, suppliers and employees change?
A.   No. A key to our success will continue to be the strong relationships that we maintain with each of these groups and we do not anticipate any changes to these relationships.

 

Q9.   Will our executive officers or the members of our board of directors change as a result of these transactions?
A.   No. We do not anticipate any changes to our executive officers or board of directors as a result of these transactions.

 

Q10.   Does management still think employee ownership is important?
A.   Yes. We believe that stock ownership and our employee ownership culture motivate our employees to strive for our continued success and provide a mechanism for sharing the potential rewards. Following the IPO, we intend to continue providing opportunities to our employees to own our shares through bonuses in stock, stock options, stock contributions to our employee benefit plans and participation in employee stock plans. We also expect to continue our internal stock ownership guidelines.

 

The Merger

 

Q11.   What does the merger entail and why are we merging with one of our subsidiaries?
A.   In the merger, a wholly-owned subsidiary of New SAIC will merge with and into Old SAIC, and Old SAIC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of New SAIC. The diagram on page 17 illustrates the merger. New SAIC’s restated certificate of incorporation will provide us with the capital structure we need to proceed with an IPO. Our board of directors concluded that the merger is the preferred method of achieving this structure.

 

Q12.   What will I be entitled to receive in the merger?
A.   In the merger, each share of outstanding class A common stock will be converted into the right to receive two shares of new class A preferred stock and each share of outstanding class B common stock will be converted into the right to receive 40 shares of new class A preferred stock. However, we have changed the percentage of shares of series A-1 and series A-2 of new class A preferred stock that you will receive upon exchange of your shares of Old SAIC common stock from the percentages proposed in the original proxy statement/prospectus for the December 16, 2005 special stockholders’ meeting. Under the current proposal, you will receive 20 percent in series A-1 preferred stock, 20 percent in series A-2 preferred stock, 30 percent in series A-3 preferred stock and 30 percent in series A-4 preferred stock (as compared to the allocation proposed in the proxy statement/prospectus for the December 16, 2005 special stockholders’ meeting of 10 percent in series A-1 preferred stock, 30 percent in series A-2 preferred stock, 30 percent in series A-3 preferred stock and 30 percent in series A-4 preferred stock). Also, the transfer restriction period for series A-1 preferred stock has been changed in the current proposal to 90 days from completion of our IPO (as compared to the fixed date of April 1, 2006 proposed for series A-1 preferred stock in the proxy statement/prospectus for the December 16, 2005 special stockholders’ meeting). See Questions 45-49 for a description of the transfer restrictions applicable to each series (A-1, A-2, A-3 and A-4) of new class A preferred stock. Under this new proposal, of the shares of new class A preferred stock you receive in the merger:
    20 percent will be designated series A-1 preferred stock with transfer restrictions expiring 90 days after our IPO
    20 percent will be designated series A-2 preferred stock with transfer restrictions expiring 180 days after our IPO
    30 percent will be designated series A-3 preferred stock with transfer restrictions expiring 270 days after our IPO
    30 percent will be designated series A-4 preferred stock with transfer restrictions expiring 360 days after our IPO

Table of Contents

For example, a stockholder holding 1,000 shares of class A common stock will be entitled to receive the following shares of new class A preferred stock in the merger:

 

    400 shares of series A-1 preferred stock

 

    400 shares of series A-2 preferred stock

 

    600 shares of series A-3 preferred stock

 

    600 shares of series A-4 preferred stock

 

A stockholder holding 1,000 shares of class B common stock will be entitled to receive the following shares of new class A preferred stock in the merger:

 

    8,000 shares of series A-1 preferred stock

 

    8,000 shares of series A-2 preferred stock

 

    12,000 shares of series A-3 preferred stock

 

    12,000 shares of series A-4 preferred stock

 

While the conversion will be on a per share basis, the allocation of the new class A preferred stock among the four series will be completed on an account-by-account basis. For example, if shares of Old SAIC common stock are held both individually and in a trust, the new class A preferred stock will be allocated among the four series separately for each account. Moreover, all shares of new class A preferred stock that are issued to a single account will be aggregated and allocated among the four series, even if the shares of Old SAIC common stock that were held in that account were acquired at different times or in a different manner (e.g. an option exercise).

 

Except for the transfer restrictions that we describe below, each share of new class A preferred stock will be identical.

 

Q13.   Why will I receive two shares of new class A preferred stock (rather than just one share) for every one share of class A common stock that I own? Why will I receive 40 shares of new class A preferred stock (rather than just 20 shares) for every one share of class B common stock that I own?

 

A.   We established an exchange ratio in the merger that has the effect of implementing a stock split. The purpose is to increase the number of shares of our capital stock outstanding prior to the IPO, which will decrease the per share value of our capital stock. The aggregate value of your shares will not be affected by the merger, although the value will fluctuate after the IPO. We believe that offering more shares of new common stock at a lower per share price will allow for an initial offering price of the new common stock within a range that is customary in today’s IPO marketplace and therefore will enhance the underwriters’ ability to market the shares to public investors.

 

Q14.   Why do the holders of class B common stock receive more shares than the holders of class A common stock?

 

A.  

Holders of class B common stock are entitled to receive 20 times the number of shares to be received by the holders of class A common stock because, while the class A common stock was split 5 for 1 in 1987

 

4


Table of Contents
 

and split again 4 for 1 in 1999, resulting in an overall 20 for 1 split, the class B common stock has never split. If the class B common stock had split in 1987 and 1999 along with the class A common stock, there would be no difference in the number of shares the holders of each class would receive. Furthermore, Old SAIC’s certificate of incorporation provides that each share of class B common stock is convertible at any time into 20 shares of class A common stock.

 

Q15.   What are the U.S. tax consequences of the merger?

 

A.   In the opinion of our outside legal counsel, Heller Ehrman LLP, the exchange of your class A and class B common stock for new class A preferred stock pursuant to the merger will not be a taxable transaction for you for federal income tax purposes. It is conceivable that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) would seek to have the special dividend and the merger treated as part of a single integrated transaction for federal income tax purposes in which you are exchanging your Old SAIC shares for a combination of cash and the new class A preferred stock rather than giving the dividend independent significance. If the IRS asserts this position and if this position is ultimately sustained, any gain you realize on the exchange would be taxable to the extent of the amount of the cash received as a special dividend. For this purpose, the gain you realize would be equal to the value of the Old SAIC stock at the time of the merger over your tax basis in that stock. The taxable gain recognized would be long-term capital gain, if you held the Old SAIC stock for more than one year at the time of the merger, and short-term capital gain, if your holding period was one year or less. To the extent the cash received is in excess of the gain you realize in the transaction, the remaining cash would be treated as a non-taxable return of your investment in the Old SAIC stock (to the extent thereof) and would reduce your basis in the new class A preferred stock received in the merger. If the special dividend is treated as additional amount paid for your shares in the merger, it would not be treated as a dividend for federal income tax purposes. See “Proposal I—The Merger—Material Federal Income Tax Consequences to Stockholders—The Merger” for a more detailed description of the tax consequences of the merger.

 

Q16.   Do I have appraisal rights?

 

A.   Appraisal rights entitle, under certain circumstances, stockholders of Delaware corporations to receive a cash payment equal to the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery. Record holders of Old SAIC class A common stock do not have appraisal rights in connection with the merger. Record holders of class B common stock who do not vote in favor of the merger proposal but otherwise comply with the requirements and procedures of Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or DGCL, have appraisal rights. A detailed description of the appraisal rights and procedures available to record holders of Old SAIC class B common stock is included in “Proposal I—The Merger—Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 56. The full text of Section 262 of the DGCL is included as Annex E to this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

Q17.   If I submitted my proxy or voting instructions for the special meeting originally scheduled for December 16, 2005, do I need to submit a new proxy or voting instructions for the upcoming special meeting?

 

A.   Yes. None of the proxies or voting instructions received by Old SAIC that accompanied the original proxy statement/prospectus, or received by the Internet or telephone pursuant to instructions in the original proxy statement/prospectus, for the December 16, 2005 meeting can be voted at the upcoming special meeting. In order for your vote to be counted at the upcoming special meeting, you must submit a new proxy or voting instructions by the Internet, telephone or mail, or vote in person at the meeting.

Table of Contents
Q18.   What happens if the stockholders do not adopt the merger agreement?

 

A.   If stockholder approval for the merger is not obtained, the merger and the IPO will not occur, and the special dividend will not be paid. If we are unable to complete the IPO, we will reassess how to satisfy the needs of our stock system and yet achieve our long-term strategic objectives. We may not be able, or desire, to balance the stock system indefinitely.

 

Q19.   Can our board of directors abandon the merger and other transactions even if stockholder approval is obtained?

 

A.   Yes. If prior to completion of the merger our board of directors decides that it is not in the best interests of the stockholders to proceed, the board can terminate the merger agreement and abandon the IPO and special dividend.

 

The Initial Public Offering

 

Q20.   What is an IPO?

 

A.   An IPO, or initial public offering, is the first sale of stock by a company to the public in a transaction registered with the SEC.

 

Q21.   How and when will we complete our IPO?

 

A.   Before shares of new common stock can be offered to public investors, the stockholders of Old SAIC must approve the merger and related proposals at the special meeting of stockholders. If the merger is approved by stockholders, our senior management will meet with prospective public investors, including institutional investors, mutual fund managers and other potential investors, to present information about the company and its prospects. Thereafter, we expect to negotiate the price of the new common stock with the lead underwriters, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. At the same time, we would request that the SEC declare the IPO related registration statement effective to permit the sale of shares of new common stock to public investors. If the price negotiated with the lead underwriters is acceptable to our board of directors (or a designated board committee), we anticipate that we would agree to sell a certain number of shares of new common stock to the underwriters at that price, less a customary underwriting discount, upon satisfactory completion of various closing conditions. Shares of new common stock would then begin to trade on the New York Stock Exchange in anticipation of the closing. Just prior to closing the IPO, we would expect to complete the merger and, thereafter, the sale of new common stock to the underwriters who would distribute the shares to the public investors.

 

       The precise timing of the merger and the IPO is subject to general market and economic conditions, the SEC’s review process, and several other factors that we do not control. Although it is not possible to determine with certainty when we will complete the merger, the IPO and related transactions, we anticipate that it will be in the Fall of 2006 and within about six to eight weeks following the approval of the merger by the Old SAIC stockholders. If the merger is not approved by stockholders, the IPO will not occur and we will not pay the special dividend, which will be specifically conditioned upon completion of the IPO.

 

Q22.   What impact will the Greek Olympic contract have on the timing for completion of the IPO?

 

A.  

We initially scheduled a special meeting of our stockholders for December 16, 2005 to consider and vote on the merger and IPO related proposals. Our board of directors and senior management decided to not

 

6


Table of Contents
 

hold that stockholders’ meeting due to developments relating to a firm-fixed-price contract (Greek contract) with the Hellenic Republic of Greece (the Greek government). These developments included:

 

    the delivery of a letter by us to representatives of the Greek government advising them that, unless agreement on a contract modification was reached, we would invoke arbitration under the provisions of the Greek contract

 

    the initiation of an independent review by a special committee of independent directors with the assistance of an outside law firm to, among other things, identify the causes of the poor financial performance and continuing challenges of the Greek contract

 

       On April 21, 2006, we instituted binding arbitration proceedings, in parallel with our continuing negotiations toward a contract modification, to pursue a final resolution of our rights and remedies under the Greek contract. The outcome of the arbitration is uncertain due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved and the uncertainty of arbitration in general. However, by instituting arbitration, we believe we have established a process to obtain final resolution of the Greek contract issues even if an appropriate contract modification is not obtained.

 

       In addition, the review by a special committee of independent directors was completed in April 2006, and the results of the review have been reported to our board of directors. Following completion of this independent review, our Chief Executive Officer has initiated an analysis of the observations and conclusions resulting from the review and begun the implementation of a number of improvements in our operational policies, processes and procedures with the goal of preventing the recurrence of problems experienced in the Greek contract in the future. The Greek contract status, contingencies and arbitration proceedings are described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Commitments and Contingencies—Firm Fixed-Price Contract with the Greek Government.”

 

       Given the institution of binding arbitration to obtain final resolution of the Greek contract issues (if an appropriate contract modification is not obtained) and the completion of the independent review, we now expect to complete the IPO in the Fall of 2006.

 

Q23.   How will the IPO price be determined?

 

A.   The price of the new common stock in the IPO will be negotiated with the lead underwriters. Among the factors considered in determining the IPO price will be our future prospects and those of our industry in general, our sales, earnings and other financial operating information in recent periods, and the price-earnings ratios, price-sales ratios, market prices of securities and certain financial and operating information of companies engaged in activities similar to ours. Thereafter, our stock price may fluctuate based on market forces influenced by these and other factors. The underwriters and public investors who trade in the new common stock may give different weight to factors or valuation methodologies or consider new factors or valuation methodologies which differ from those relied upon in determining the historical price of Old SAIC common stock. Therefore, the price negotiated with the representatives of the underwriters and the market price at which our new common stock will trade following the IPO may be higher or lower than the historical prices of Old SAIC common stock.

 

Q24.   Where will the new common stock be traded?

 

A.   We have been approved for listing of the new common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SAI.”

Table of Contents
Q25.   How much stock are we selling to the public?

 

A.   In the IPO, we expect to sell a number of shares that will be sufficient to create a public trading market in our new common stock with satisfactory liquidity. After the IPO:

 

    new class A preferred stock will constitute from 80% to 90% of our total outstanding capital stock and substantially all of our voting power

 

    new common stock will constitute from 10% to 20% of our total outstanding capital stock

 

As a result, voting control of New SAIC will remain in the hands of current stockholders after we complete the merger and the IPO.

 

Q26.   How was the size of the IPO determined?

 

A.   The size of the IPO, which was established by our board of directors and senior management in close coordination with our financial advisors, was determined based on the number of shares believed to be needed to create a public trading market in our stock with satisfactory liquidity.

 

Q27.   What are the risks to my investment associated with the IPO?

 

A.   The price of our new common stock will be subject to the fluctuations in the stock market. Initially, there also will be restrictions on your ability to sell or transfer your new class A preferred stock that you are entitled to receive in the merger. In addition, your investment will continue to be subject to many of the same risks to which it is currently subject. Some of the risk factors that we currently face, including those associated with an IPO, are described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 31.

 

Q28.   Who do we expect will buy shares in the IPO?

 

A.   We expect that retail and institutional investors, such as insurance companies, mutual funds and other financial institutions, who believe in our strategy, management and industry prospects will buy shares of our new common stock in the IPO.

 

Q29.   Will our employees, officers or directors be given an opportunity to buy stock in the IPO?

 

A.   No. We will not be offering a “friends and family” directed share or other program whereby employees, officers or directors are allowed to purchase stock in the IPO. Unlike most companies that complete initial public offerings, we already provide numerous opportunities for our employees, officers and directors to buy our stock through the limited market, our employee stock purchase plan and deferrals and rollovers in the SAIC Retirement Plan. We want to discourage speculation or “flipping” our stock and desire that our stockholders, especially our employees, officers and directors, hold our stock for long-term investment. In addition, there also are logistical and administrative difficulties in offering a friends and family program that is fair to all employees when we have over 40,000 employees in our company. As a result, we will not be offering a “friends and family” program.

 

Q30.   What will we do with the proceeds from the IPO?

 

A.   The proceeds of the IPO will be held by New SAIC and will be included in our consolidated cash balances, which are used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital spending and possible investments and acquisitions. However, the board of directors of Old SAIC intends to declare a special dividend that will be paid from cash held by Old SAIC to stockholders who will be holders of Old SAIC common stock as of the dividend record date to be set by the board of directors. The special dividend could exceed the net proceeds from the IPO, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option, by up to approximately $1 billion.

The Special Dividend

 

Q31.   What is a dividend?

 

A.   Typically, a dividend is the distribution of cash, stock or other assets to a company’s stockholders.

 

Q32.   Why do we plan to pay a special dividend?

 

A.   Given our current strong cash position, we believe the special dividend is an efficient and fair way to return to our stockholders excess cash that no longer will be needed to repurchase stock in the limited market or to otherwise provide liquidity to our stockholders after the IPO.

 

Q33.   What is the amount of the special dividend?

 

A.   The dividend is expected to range from approximately $10 to $15 per share of Old SAIC class A common stock and from approximately $200 to $300 per share of Old SAIC class B common stock.

 

Q34.   How will the amount of the dividend be determined?

 

A.   The amount of the special dividend will be determined by the board of directors, in consultation with our financial advisors, in order to distribute a significant amount of cash to our current stockholders and yet retain sufficient capital to meet our strategic needs.

 

Q35.   What will be the record date for purposes of determining stockholders entitled to receive the special dividend?

 

A.   The board of directors will set the record date as of which all stockholders will be entitled to receive the special dividend. We expect that the record date will be a few days before the new common stock begins to trade on the New York Stock Exchange, which we expect will be six to eight weeks after stockholder approval of the merger at the special meeting.

 

Q36.   When will the special dividend be paid?

 

A.   The board of directors of Old SAIC intends to declare a special dividend that will be paid from cash held by Old SAIC to stockholders who will be holders of Old SAIC common stock as of the dividend record date to be set by the board of directors. Payment will be conditioned upon completion of the IPO and, if you have Old SAIC common stock certificates, upon surrender of your certificates. Old SAIC expects to pay the special dividend within 25 days after the IPO.

 

Q37.   What are the U.S. tax consequences of the special dividend?

 

A.   The special dividend should constitute a taxable dividend for federal income tax purposes to the extent it is paid from current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under federal income tax principles. Any dividends in excess of earnings and profits may be treated as a nontaxable return of capital or as a gain realized on the sale or disposition of your Old SAIC common stock. However, if the special dividend is treated as an additional amount paid for your shares in the merger, it would not be treated as a dividend for federal income tax purposes. The federal income tax rate applicable to the dividend will vary depending on a number of factors. For further information about the tax consequences of the special dividend and the tax rates that may be applicable to you, see “Proposal I—The Merger—Material Federal Income Tax Consequences to Stockholders—The Special Dividend.”

Table of Contents
Q38.   What will our dividend policy be after the IPO?

 

A.   Old SAIC has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its capital stock other than the special dividend. New SAIC does not expect to pay any dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future, and we currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance our operations and growth. The exact amount of the special dividend and any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on available cash, estimated cash needs, earnings, financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, applicable contractual restrictions and other factors our board of directors deems relevant.

 

The New Class A Preferred Stock

 

Q39.   What are the differences between the new class A preferred stock and the new common stock?

 

A.   The terms of the new class A preferred stock and the new common stock will be the same except as follows:

 

    the new class A preferred stock will be subject to certain transfer restrictions set forth below while the new common stock will be freely tradable

 

    the new class A preferred stock will have 10 votes per share while the new common stock will have one vote per share

 

    the new class A preferred stock will be convertible into new common stock after the expiration of the restriction periods

 

The new class A preferred stock has no other preferences.

 

Q40.   Why do the public investors receive a different class of stock than our existing stockholders?

 

A.   As part of an IPO, it is typical for employee-owned companies to establish two classes of voting stock, which enables the employee owners to maintain voting control of the company following the IPO. The new common stock issued to the public will have one vote per share and the new class A preferred stock issued to Old SAIC stockholders will have 10 votes per share.

 

Q41.   What must I do to get my new class A preferred stock?

 

A.   Your shares of Old SAIC common stock will be converted into the right to receive new class A preferred stock pursuant to the merger.

 

    If you hold your shares directly in a book-entry account, they will be converted automatically and you will receive a statement for the shares of new class A preferred stock you own following the merger. You can confirm that your account is in book-entry form by reviewing the first page of a recent Stock Summary Statement previously mailed to you by Old SAIC.

 

    If you hold your shares directly and they are represented by certificates at the effective time of the merger, we will send you a letter shortly after the merger explaining how you can surrender your certificates. All the shares to which you are entitled will be converted to book entry form, but your account will be blocked by our transfer agent until your certificates are surrendered.

 

    If you hold shares in one of our employee benefit plans, the plan will handle conversion of the shares without any action by you.

 

10


Table of Contents

All the shares of new class A preferred stock issued pursuant to the merger will be uncertificated shares.

 

Q42.   What will happen to our right of first refusal and right to repurchase your stock?

 

A.   When we are a publicly traded company, you will not be required to offer your shares to us before you can sell them to third parties. Since September 1, 2005, we have suspended repurchasing shares upon termination of affiliation pending completion of the merger, except for repurchasing shares of Old SAIC common stock transferred to a charity prior to October 25, 2005.

 

Q43.   What will happen to the new class A preferred stock that I will own if my affiliation terminates or I retire?

 

A.   Nothing. Currently, your shares are subject to our right of first refusal and right to repurchase if your affiliation as an employee, director or consultant is terminated. Following the merger, we will no longer have these rights. You may continue to hold your shares indefinitely, regardless of your employment status or affiliation with us.

 

Q44.   What if I am no longer affiliated with SAIC and hold shares subject to a special arrangement (e.g., the alumni program, former employee program or other agreement extending Old SAIC’s right of repurchase)?

 

A.   Currently, your shares are subject to our right of first refusal and right to repurchase. After the merger, your shares will no longer be subject to these rights. You will be able to continue to hold new class A preferred stock indefinitely.

 

Transfer Restrictions

 

Q45.   Will I be able to sell or transfer my new class A preferred stock immediately?

 

A.   To facilitate the IPO, New SAIC’s restated certificate of incorporation will, for certain periods of time, restrict you from selling or transferring new class A preferred stock to anyone other than “permitted transferees.” These restrictions will expire:

 

    90 days after our IPO for series A-1 preferred stock

 

    180 days after our IPO for series A-2 preferred stock

 

    270 days after our IPO for series A-3 preferred stock

 

    360 days after our IPO for series A-4 preferred stock

 

If, during the restriction period, you transfer your new class A preferred stock to a “permitted transferee,” the transferee will receive the new class A preferred stock subject to the same restrictions. After the expiration of these restriction periods, you also will be able to sell your shares in the public market. If, after the expiration of the applicable restriction period, you transfer your new class A preferred stock to anyone other than a “permitted transferee,” your shares will convert automatically into new common stock, so that the transferees or buyers will acquire only new common stock.

 

11


Table of Contents
Q46.   Who is a “permitted transferee”?

 

A.   Permitted transferees generally include:

 

    members of your immediate family

 

    trusts for the sole benefit of you or members of your immediate family

 

    your estate

 

    a financial institution to which you pledge your shares as collateral

 

    New SAIC or any of its subsidiaries

 

You should read “Proposal I—The Merger—Transfer Restrictions on Shares of New Class A Preferred Stock” on page 53 for important details and conditions of transfers to permitted transferees.

 

Q47.   Why will the sale of my stock be restricted?

 

A.   The transfer restrictions will permit some period of trading of the new common stock to take place in the market without the potential introduction of a significant number of additional shares, which could negatively affect the price. These restrictions are intended to promote an orderly trading market for our new common stock for a period following the commencement of trading. We have staggered the expiration of the transfer restrictions so that all existing shares do not become freely tradable at the same time.

 

Q48.   Will any additional transfer restrictions apply to our directors and executive officers?

 

A.   In addition to the general transfer restrictions, shares of new class A preferred stock received in connection with the merger by our directors and executive officers, and shares of new common stock received by them on conversion of the new class A preferred stock, may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless:

 

    made in conformity with the requirements of Rule 145(d) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act

 

    made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act

 

    otherwise exempt from registration under the Securities Act

 

In addition, in connection with the proposed IPO, our directors and executive officers have entered into lock-up agreements with the underwriters of the IPO. Under these agreements, these directors and executive officers generally may not, during the period ending 180 days after the IPO, directly or indirectly sell or dispose of their capital stock without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc.

 

The registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part does not cover the resale of shares of New SAIC stock to be received by our directors and executive officers pursuant to the merger.

Table of Contents
Q49.   Will I be permitted to enter into a hedging transaction to avoid the risk of my new class A preferred stock?

 

A.   No. You will be prohibited from buying a “put” option, selling a “call” option, selling short or entering into any other hedging or insurance transaction relating to your new class A preferred stock during the applicable restriction periods.

 

Stock Transactions

 

Q50.   Can I buy or sell shares in the limited market before the IPO?

 

A.   The last limited market trade prior to the proposed IPO occurred on June 30, 2006. If, however, the IPO is postponed, we intend to conduct a limited market trade at the same time as the retirement plans trades until the IPO process recommences. A retirement plans trade has been scheduled for October 27, 2006 and at least three additional retirement plans trade dates will be announced, at which time limited market trades also may be held if the IPO is postponed.

 

Q51.   Will Bull, Inc. continue to maintain a limited market after the IPO?

 

A.   No. Bull, Inc. was established specifically to administer our limited market trades. Old SAIC’s stock transfer and stock plan administration have been outsourced to Mellon Investor Services LLC. After the IPO, subject to the restriction periods set forth above, you will be able to sell shares in the public market.

 

Q52.   After the IPO, how can I sell my shares of new class A preferred stock? What will be the price?

 

A.   If you wish to sell your shares of new class A preferred stock after the restriction periods expire, they will be converted into new common stock when you sell them in the public market. When you sell, you will receive the prevailing market price for your shares.

 

Q53.   Will I be able to buy more shares in the public market?

 

A.   Yes. You will be able to buy shares of our new common stock in the public market at prevailing prices after the IPO. Because you will buy additional shares only in the public market, subject to compliance with our insider trading restrictions, you will no longer be required to obtain other approval for stock purchases.

SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and may not include all of the information that is important to you. To better understand the transactions, we urge you to read the entire proxy statement/prospectus carefully, including “Risk Factors” and the other documents that we refer you to.

 

Unless otherwise noted, references to years are to fiscal years ended January 31, not calendar years. For example, we refer to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 as “fiscal 2006.” We are currently in fiscal 2007. References to government fiscal years are to fiscal years ended September 30.

 

Overview

 

We are a leading provider of scientific, engineering, systems integration and technical services and solutions to all branches of the U.S. military, agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense, the intelligence community, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other U.S. Government civil agencies, as well as to customers in selected commercial markets. Our customers seek our domain expertise to solve complex technical challenges requiring innovative solutions for mission-critical functions in such areas as national security, intelligence and homeland defense. Increasing demand for our services and solutions is driven by priorities including the ongoing global war on terror and the transformation of the U.S. military.

 

From fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2006, our consolidated revenues increased at a compound annual growth rate of 15.6% to a company record of $7.8 billion, inclusive of acquisitions and exclusive of Telcordia Technologies, Inc., our commercial telecommunications subsidiary, which we divested in March 2005. As of April 30, 2006, we had a portfolio of approximately 9,000 active contracts. Our total consolidated negotiated backlog as of April 30, 2006 was approximately $15.8 billion, which included funded backlog of approximately $3.9 billion, compared to approximately $15.1 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively, as of January 31, 2006. In May 2006, Washington Technology, a leading industry publication, ranked us number three in its list of Top Federal Prime Contractors in the United States based on information technology (IT), telecommunications and systems integration revenues.

 

The U.S. Government is our largest customer, in the aggregate representing 89% of our total consolidated revenues in fiscal 2006. According to Congressional Budget Office estimates, U.S. Government total discretionary outlays in government fiscal 2006 will be approximately $1,035 billion, and we estimate that more than $200 billion of this amount will be spent in areas in which we compete. We believe that U.S. Government spending in these areas will continue to grow as a result of homeland security and intelligence needs arising from the global war on terror, the ongoing transformation of the U.S. military and the increased reliance on outsourcing by the U.S. Government.

To maximize our ability to consistently deliver innovative solutions to help meet our customers’ most challenging needs, and to grow our business and increase stockholder value, we rely on the following key strengths:

 

    Skilled personnel and experienced management

New SAIC

 

We formed New SAIC as a Delaware corporation on August 12, 2005. To date, it has not conducted any activities other than those incident to its formation, and the preparation of the merger agreement, this proxy statement/prospectus, periodic reports, and the registration statement on Form S-1 with respect to the IPO. Upon completion of the merger, Old SAIC will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of New SAIC.

 

PROPOSAL I—THE MERGER

 

The first proposal is to approve and adopt an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended and restated as of July 24, 2006, among Old SAIC, New SAIC and SAIC Merger Sub, Inc., pursuant to which Old SAIC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of New SAIC, and the Old SAIC common stock will be converted into the right to receive new class A preferred stock. Our board of directors unanimously determined that the merger agreement and the merger are advisable and in the best interests of SAIC and its stockholders, and recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the approval and adoption of the merger agreement.

 

Purposes of the Merger (see page 49)

 

We are pursuing these transactions because, after a thorough review of several options, we have determined that an IPO will best address our long-term objectives. The merger is a necessary step for us to take in order to effect our IPO. The IPO will provide us with greater financial flexibility to grow our business. We also believe that these transactions enable us to implement our vision and long-term strategy while preserving our core values, and focus on providing an environment where our employees’ entrepreneurial spirit can flourish.

 

Our board of directors has carefully studied this question and unanimously believes that creating a publicly traded stock is in the best interests of SAIC and our stockholders and employees.

 

How the Merger is Structured (see page 50)

 

The merger has been structured so that Old SAIC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of New SAIC, and the stockholders of Old SAIC will have the right to receive shares of new class A preferred stock in exchange for their Old SAIC common stock. In order to achieve this result:

 

    Old SAIC has formed a wholly-owned subsidiary (New SAIC) and, strictly for the purpose of facilitating the merger, New SAIC has formed a wholly-owned subsidiary (Merger Sub)

 

    Merger Sub will merge into Old SAIC, at which time the outstanding shares of class A common stock and class B common stock will be converted into the right to receive shares of new class A preferred stock, and Merger Sub will cease to exist

 

New SAIC will have a new restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws.

What You Will Be Entitled to Receive Pursuant to the Merger (see page 50)

 

When the merger occurs:

 

    Each share of outstanding class A common stock and each share of outstanding class B common stock, subject to the exercise of appraisal rights, will be converted into the right to receive shares of new class A preferred stock on the basis set forth below.

 

    The new class A preferred stock you receive will be allocated among four series as illustrated below, with transferability and convertibility of each series being subject to a separate restriction period that expires at the times indicated:

The Public Offering (see page 51)

 

Soon after the merger is approved, subject to market conditions, we plan to conduct an IPO of new common stock.

After the IPO:

 

    new class A preferred stock will constitute from 80% to 90% of our total outstanding capital stock and substantially all of our voting power

 

    new common stock will constitute from 10% to 20% of our total outstanding capital stock

Table of Contents

The Special Dividend (see page 52)

 

The board of directors of Old SAIC intends to declare a special dividend that will be paid from cash held by Old SAIC to stockholders who will be holders of Old SAIC common stock as of the dividend record date to be set by the board of directors. Payment will be conditioned upon completion of the IPO, and Old SAIC expects to pay the special dividend within 25 days after the IPO. The special dividend is expected to range from approximately $10 to $15 per share of Old SAIC class A common stock and from approximately $200 to $300 per share of Old SAIC class B common stock, which is the equivalent of a range from approximately $5 to $7.50 per share of new class A preferred stock. The special dividend could exceed the net proceeds from the IPO, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option, by up to approximately $1 billion.

 

How We Will Effect the Merger and the Special Dividend (see page 52)

 

The IPO is conditioned on completion of the merger. If approved, we will effect the merger shortly before the closing of the IPO. In the merger, your shares of class A common stock and class B common stock (excluding shares for which appraisal rights have been exercised) will be converted into the right to receive new class A preferred stock. Prior to the merger, the board of directors of Old SAIC intends to declare a special dividend on Old SAIC common stock. Payment will be conditioned upon completion of the IPO, and Old SAIC expects to pay the special dividend within 25 days after the IPO.

 

New SAIC’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (see page 52)

 

New SAIC’s restated certificate of incorporation will be different from our current certificate of incorporation in that it will:

 

    replace the current class A and class B common stock with a single new class A preferred stock that will be entitled to 10 votes per share and is comprised of four series to implement the transfer restrictions

 

    authorize a class of common stock that will have the same economic rights as the new class A preferred stock, but will be entitled to one vote per share

 

    eliminate the requirement that you must offer your shares to us for purchase before you can sell them to third parties

 

    eliminate our right to repurchase your shares on termination of affiliation

 

    add provisions that restrict the transferability of the new class A preferred stock for a period of time

 

Voting Rights (see page 53)

 

Holders of new class A preferred stock will be entitled to 10 votes per share on all matters voted upon by our stockholders. Holders of new common stock will have the same economic rights as holders of new class A preferred stock, but will be entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted upon by our stockholders.

 

Listing (see page 58)

 

The new class A preferred stock will not be listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the organized over-the-counter market. We have been approved for listing of the new common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SAI.”

Table of Contents

Conditions to the Merger (see page 58)

 

We will cause the merger to become effective only if certain conditions specified in the merger agreement are satisfied or waived.

 

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences to Stockholders—The Merger (see page 60)

 

In the opinion of our outside legal counsel, Heller Ehrman LLP, the exchange of your class A and class B common stock for new class A preferred stock pursuant to the merger will not be a taxable transaction for you for federal income tax purposes.

 

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences to Stockholders—The Special Dividend (see page 60)

 

The special dividend should constitute a taxable dividend for federal income tax purposes to the extent it is paid from current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under federal income principles. Any dividends in excess of earnings and profits may be treated as a nontaxable return of capital or as a gain realized on the sale or disposition of your Old SAIC common stock. However, if the special dividend is treated as an additional amount paid for your shares in the merger, it would not be treated as a dividend for federal income tax purposes. The federal income tax rate applicable to the dividend will vary depending on a number of factors.

 

Accounting Treatment (see page 62)

 

For accounting purposes, the merger will be treated as a recapitalization of Old SAIC with New SAIC as the acquirer (a reverse merger). The accounting basis used to initially record the assets and liabilities in New SAIC will be the carryover basis of Old SAIC.

 

PROPOSAL II—2006 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

The second proposal is to approve and adopt the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options (including incentive stock options, as defined in section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, and nonstatutory stock options), restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and other similar types of stock awards, as well as cash awards. Our board of directors unanimously determined that the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is in the best interests of SAIC and its stockholders, and recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the approval and adoption of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

General (see page 65)

 

The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan will become effective on the effective date of the merger, subject to stockholder approval. If the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is not approved by our stockholders or the merger is not consummated, the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan will continue in operation pursuant to its terms.

 

Old SAIC seeks stockholder approval in order to qualify the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and certain awards made pursuant to it under the incentive stock option provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and to increase the potential that New SAIC may fully deduct for federal income tax purposes certain compensation that may be paid under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

New SAIC stock subject to the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan will either be our new class A preferred stock or new common stock as determined by the committee of our board of directors administering the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan provides that an aggregate of up to 75,000,000 shares will be available to be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, plus additional shares that may be added to the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan as described below.

 

The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan has an “evergreen” feature pursuant to which additional shares will automatically be added to the shares available for issuance under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan without further stockholder approval beginning February 1, 2007 and on each February 1 for nine years thereafter. The number of shares that may be added each year will equal the least of 5% of New SAIC’s outstanding common stock as of the preceding January 31 (measured on an as-converted basis with respect to the outstanding shares of new class A preferred stock), 30,000,000 shares or a number of shares determined by our board of directors or the committee of our board of directors administering the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

Administration (see page 65)

 

The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan will be administered by our board of directors, a committee of our board of directors or a delegated officer in certain circumstances.

 

Eligibility (see page 65)

 

Nonstatutory stock options, stock awards and cash awards may be granted to employees, directors (including non-employee directors) and consultants of New SAIC, Old SAIC or other affiliates of New SAIC. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of New SAIC or its affiliates.

 

Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards (see page 68)

 

See “Proposal II—2006 Equity Incentive Plan—Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards” for a description of the tax consequences of awards granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

Accounting Treatment (see page 70)

 

Based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), which was adopted on February 1, 2006, New SAIC will recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value on the date of grant of all stock options granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. In addition, New SAIC will recognize compensation expense for other awards granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. In general, the expense associated with each award will be recognized over the requisite employee service period, generally the vesting period.

 

PROPOSAL III—2006 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

 

The third proposal is to approve and adopt the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides employees of New SAIC (and Old SAIC and any of our other majority-owned subsidiaries designated by our board of directors) with an opportunity to purchase our new class A preferred stock or new common stock as determined by the compensation committee of our board of directors through accumulated payroll deductions at a discounted purchase price. Our board of directors unanimously determined that the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is in the best interests of SAIC and its stockholders, and recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the approval and adoption of the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Table of Contents

General (see page 71)

 

The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will become effective on the date the first offering period commences as determined by the compensation committee, subject to stockholder approval and the consummation of the merger. Old SAIC seeks stockholder approval of the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to qualify the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the right of participants to purchase shares under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan authorizes the purchase of shares under a non-Section 423 qualified component of the plan by employees of international subsidiaries in situations where a qualified plan creates adverse tax consequences in a particular jurisdiction. If the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is not approved by our stockholders or the merger is not consummated, the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will continue in operation pursuant to its terms.

 

The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides that an aggregate of up to 9,000,000 shares will be available for issuance, plus additional shares that may be added as described below.

 

The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan has an “evergreen” feature pursuant to which additional shares will automatically be added to the shares available for issuance without further stockholder approval beginning February 1, 2007 and on each February 1 thereafter for nine more years. The number of shares that may be added each year will equal the least of 9,000,000 shares, 2% of New SAIC’s outstanding common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year (measured on an as-converted basis with respect to the outstanding shares of new class A preferred stock) or a number of shares established by the compensation committee of our board of directors.

 

Administration (see page 71)

 

The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be administered by the board of directors, the compensation committee of our board of directors or a management committee which has been delegated administrative responsibilities.

 

Eligibility (see page 71)

 

Generally, any person who is employed by New SAIC, Old SAIC or any of New SAIC’s majority-owned subsidiaries designated by our board of directors is eligible to participate, provided that the employee is employed on the first day of an offering period and subject to certain limitations imposed by Section 423(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

Participation (see page 72)

 

Eligible employees may participate by completing a subscription agreement in the form provided by New SAIC and filing it with New SAIC prior to the first business day of the applicable offering period or such other date as specified by the compensation committee.

 

Offering Periods (see page 72)

 

Unless and until the compensation committee determines to implement longer periods and except for the first offering period, each offering period will have a duration of three months and will commence on April 1, July 1, October 1 or January 1 of each year and will have only one purchase period which will run simultaneously with the offering period. The first offering period will commence and end on dates determined by the compensation committee.

Table of Contents

Purchase Price (see page 72)

 

The purchase price per share at which shares are purchased under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the applicable purchase date. The compensation committee has the authority to change the purchase price within a range of 85% to 100% of the fair market value of the stock on the offering date or the purchase date. If our new common stock is listed on a stock exchange, the fair market value of the stock subject to the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be the closing sales price of our new common stock.

 

Payment of Purchase Price; Payroll Deductions (see page 72)

 

The purchase price of the shares is paid with payroll deductions accumulated during the applicable offering period. The deductions are made as a percentage of the participant’s compensation in 1% increments, not less than 1% nor greater than 10%. If payroll deductions are not permitted in a jurisdiction, participants in that jurisdiction may contribute via check or pursuant to another method approved by the compensation committee of our board of directors. A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan at any time during an offering period and may increase or decrease the rate of the participant’s payroll deductions once during an ongoing offering period by completing and filing a new authorization for payroll deductions. No interest accrues on the payroll deductions of a participant unless required by local law.

 

Holding Period (see page 74)

 

The compensation committee has the authority to establish a minimum holding period for shares purchased under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

 

Withdrawal (see page 74)

 

A participant may withdraw from an offering period by signing and delivering to New SAIC a notice of withdrawal from the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan at any time prior to the end of the offering period.

 

Any withdrawal by the participant of accumulated payroll deductions for a given offering period automatically terminates the participant’s interest in that offering period. All of the participant’s contributions credited to the participant’s account will be paid to the participant without interest. A participant’s withdrawal from an offering period does not have an effect upon the participant’s eligibility to participate in subsequent offering periods. However, a participant may not re-enroll in the same offering period after withdrawal.

 

Federal Income Tax Consequences (see page 75)

 

See “Proposal III—2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan—Federal Income Tax Consequences” for a description of the tax consequences of options granted under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Accounting Treatment (see page 76)

 

Based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), which was adopted on February 1, 2006, New SAIC will recognize compensation expense in connection with the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. So long as New SAIC continues issuing shares under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan with a purchase price at a discount to the fair market value of its stock, New SAIC will recognize compensation expense which will be determined by the level of participation in the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. However, in certain cases where the purchase price is greater than 95% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, there would be no compensation expense under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R).

SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

 

You should read the summary consolidated financial data presented below in conjunction with “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our audited consolidated financial statements, unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The summary consolidated financial data presented below under “Consolidated Statement of Income Data” for the years ended January 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The summary consolidated financial data presented below under “Consolidated Statement of Income Data” for the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005 and “Consolidated Balance Sheet Data” as of April 30, 2006 have been derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and have been prepared on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly our results of operations for and as of the periods presented. Historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for future periods.

 

The pro forma earnings per share and the pro forma preferred equivalent shares reflect the change in our capital structure of converting each share of class A common stock into two shares of new class A preferred stock and each share of class B common stock into 40 shares of new class A preferred stock. The payment of the special dividend will have a dilutive effect on basic and diluted earnings per share and the preferred equivalent shares used in this calculation. This dilutive effect of the payment of the special dividend has not been reflected in the pro forma earnings per share calculation as the final dividend has not been declared and the offering price of the new common stock has not been determined. If the IPO is completed, we will utilize a two-class method for computing earnings per share for the new common stock and the new class A preferred stock.

(1)   For the periods noted, the pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share and pro forma basic and diluted preferred equivalent shares reflect the conversion of each share of class A common stock outstanding into two shares of new class A preferred stock and each share of class B common stock outstanding into 40 shares of new class A preferred stock. The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share and pro forma preferred equivalent shares do not reflect the dilutive effect of the payment of the special dividend as the final dividend has not been declared and the offering price of the new common stock has not been determined.

 

(2)   The pro forma diluted earnings per share and pro forma diluted preferred equivalent shares include the effect of converting the dilutive securities on the same basis as the class A common stock. The pro forma dilutive preferred equivalent shares are comprised of preferred stock options and other preferred stock awards granted to employees under stock-based compensation plans that were outstanding during the periods noted.

 

(3)   EBITDA is defined as net income plus income tax expense, net interest expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that EBITDA is an important measure of our performance and is a useful supplement to net income and other income statement data. We believe EBITDA is useful to management and investors in comparing our performance to that of other companies in our industry, since it removes the impact of (a) differences in capital structure, including the effects of interest income and expense, (b) differences among the tax regimes to which we and comparable companies are subject and (c) differences in the age, method of acquisition and approach to depreciation and amortization of productive assets. However, because other companies may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, it may be of limited usefulness as a comparative measure. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, (b) EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs, (c) EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service our principal payments, on our debt, (d) EBITDA does not reflect income taxes or the cash requirements for any tax payments, and (e) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

 

The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income.

Adjusted EBITDA equals EBITDA minus income from discontinued operations before income taxes and gain on sale of business units and subsidiary common stock, plus goodwill impairment, net gain or (loss) on marketable securities and other investments including impairment losses and investment activities by our venture capital subsidiary. We utilize and present Adjusted EBITDA as a further

supplemental measure of our performance. We prepare Adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of items we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. As an analytical tool, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to all of the limitations applicable to EBITDA.

(5)   Number of contracts from which we recognized more than $10 million in annual revenues in the period presented.

 

(6)   Total consolidated negotiated backlog consists of funded backlog and negotiated unfunded backlog. Funded backlog represents the portion of backlog for which funding currently is appropriated or otherwise authorized and is payable to us upon completion of a specified portion of work, less revenues previously recognized. Our funded backlog does not include the full potential value of our contracts because the U.S. Government and our other customers often appropriate or authorize funds for a particular program or contract on a yearly or quarterly basis, even though the contract may call for performance over a number of years. Negotiated unfunded backlog represents (a) firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise authorized and (b) unexercised contract options. When a definitive contract or contract amendment is executed and funding has been appropriated or otherwise authorized, funded backlog is increased by the difference between the funded dollar value of the contract or contract amendment and the revenues recognized to date.

RISK FACTORS

 

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below in your evaluation of the transactions, our business and us. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed and the price of our stock could decline.

 

Risks Relating to the Transactions and Our Stock

 

The new class A preferred stock that you receive initially will be illiquid.

 

The new class A preferred stock that you receive as a result of the merger will not be listed on a national securities exchange or traded in an organized over-the-counter market. In addition, the terms and conditions of New SAIC’s restated certificate of incorporation will further restrict the transferability of your new class A preferred stock, which will be allocated among the four series. Under these provisions:

 

    series A-1 preferred stock may not be transferred to anyone other than a permitted transferee or converted into new common stock until 90 days after our IPO

 

    series A-2 preferred stock may not be transferred to anyone other than a permitted transferee or converted into new common stock until 180 days after our IPO

 

    series A-3 preferred stock may not be transferred to anyone other than a permitted transferee or converted into new common stock until 270 days after our IPO

 

    series A-4 preferred stock may not be transferred to anyone other than a permitted transferee or converted into new common stock until 360 days after our IPO

 

You also will be prohibited from buying a put option, selling a call option, short selling or entering into any other hedging or insurance transaction relating to your new class A preferred stock during these restriction periods.

 

Because shares of new common stock will be publicly traded following completion of the IPO and new class A preferred stock will be convertible into new common stock as the applicable restriction periods lapse, we will discontinue the limited market and terminate the share repurchase program.

 

Our new common stock has not been publicly traded, and the price of our new common stock may fluctuate substantially.

 

Although Old SAIC has sponsored a limited market in its common stock, there has been no public market for new common stock prior to the IPO. The price of the new common stock in the IPO will be negotiated with the lead underwriters and the market price at which our new common stock will trade following the IPO will be determined by market forces. The underwriters and public investors who trade in the new common stock may give different weight to factors or valuation methodologies or consider new factors or valuation methodologies other than those relied upon in determining the historical price of Old SAIC common stock. Therefore, the price negotiated with the lead underwriters and the market price at which our new common stock will trade following the IPO may be higher or lower than the historical prices of Old SAIC common stock. In addition, we cannot predict the extent to which a trading market will develop for new common stock or how liquid that market might become.

 

Broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our new common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. Factors that could cause fluctuations in our stock price include, among other things:

 

    actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results

 

31


Table of Contents
    changes in financial estimates by us, by investors or by any financial analysts who might cover our stock

 

    our ability to meet the performance expectations of financial analysts or investors

 

    negative publicity regarding us, including relating to poor performance on a particular contract, employee misconduct or information security breaches

 

    disclosure of non-compliance with government laws and regulations relating to the protection of classified information, the procurement of government contracts and the conduct of lobbying and other activities

 

    changes in market valuations of other companies in our industry

 

    the expiration of the applicable restriction periods to which the class A preferred stock is subject, which could result in additional shares of our common stock being sold in the market

 

    general market and economic conditions

 

    announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or divestitures

 

    additions or departures of key personnel

 

    sales of our common stock, including sales by our directors and officers or our principal stockholders

 

    the relatively small percentage of our stock that will be held by non-employees following the IPO

 

Fluctuations caused by factors such as these may negatively affect the market price of our new common stock. In addition, the other risks described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus could adversely affect our stock price.

 

Before the merger, Old SAIC intends to declare a special dividend payable to its stockholders of record. The net proceeds from the IPO will be less than the amount of this special dividend and we will have less cash available after the IPO and the payment of the special dividend.

 

Before the merger, the board of directors of Old SAIC intends to declare a special dividend that will be paid from cash held by Old SAIC to stockholders who will be holders of Old SAIC common stock as of the dividend record date to be set by the board of directors. The special dividend could exceed the net proceeds from the IPO, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option, by up to approximately $1 billion. As a result of the payment of the special dividend, we will have less cash available for working capital, capital spending and possible investments and acquisitions.

 

Except for the special dividend that Old SAIC intends to pay to holders of Old SAIC common stock, we do not intend to pay dividends on our capital stock.

 

Old SAIC has never declared or paid any cash dividend on its capital stock other than the special dividend. New SAIC does not expect to pay any dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future and intends to retain any future earnings to finance our operations and growth.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to document and test our internal controls over financial reporting as of fiscal 2008 and requires our independent registered public accounting firm to report on our assessment as to the effectiveness of these controls. Any delays or difficulty in satisfying these requirements could cause some investors to lose confidence in, or otherwise be unable to rely on, the accuracy of our reported financial information, which could adversely affect the trading price of our new common stock.

 

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to document and test the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with an established internal control framework and to

 

32


Table of Contents

report on our conclusion as to the effectiveness of our internal controls. It also requires our independent registered public accounting firm to test our internal controls over financial reporting and report on the effectiveness of such controls as of January 31, 2008. Our independent registered public accounting firm is also required to test, evaluate and report on management’s assessment of internal control.

 

In the second quarter of fiscal 2005, we reported the existence of a “material weakness” in our internal controls relating to income tax accounting. During a review and reconciliation of our worldwide income tax liabilities, we identified an overstatement of income tax expense of $13 million related to fiscal 2003 (which was corrected in an amendment to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2004). Although we believe we have remediated this weakness, similar or other weaknesses may be identified. If we conclude that our controls are not effective or if our independent registered public accounting firm concludes that either our controls are not effective or that we did not appropriately document and test our controls, investors could lose confidence in, or otherwise be unable to rely on, our reported financial information, which could adversely affect the trading price of our new common stock.

 

Future sales of substantial amounts of our new common stock, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, could depress our stock price.

 

We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of our new common stock or the availability of shares for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Although the shares of new class A preferred stock are subject to restrictions on conversion, the possibility of the conversion and sale, as well as the actual sales of this stock, may adversely affect the market price of our new common stock. These sales may also make it more difficult for us to raise capital through the issuance of equity securities at a time and at a price we deem appropriate.

 

The number of shares of new common stock to be sold in the IPO has not been determined, but it is expected to range from 10% to 20% of the total outstanding capital stock of New SAIC after the IPO. These shares will be freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. In addition, based on the number of shares of class A and class B common stock of Old SAIC outstanding as of the record date, approximately 326,216,000 shares of new class A preferred stock are expected to be outstanding as a result of the merger. The holders of our new class A preferred stock have owned their shares for many years and have not had access to a public market in which to sell their shares. After the restriction periods expire, shares of new class A preferred stock will be convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of new common stock. A significant number of holders of our new class A preferred stock may convert their shares to take advantage of the public market in new common stock. Subject to certain limitations, those shares of new common stock will be freely tradable without restriction following the expiration of the transfer restriction periods. In addition to outstanding shares eligible for sale, additional shares of our new class A preferred stock will be issuable upon completion of the IPO under currently outstanding stock options. Substantial sales of these shares could adversely affect the market value of the new common stock.

 

Provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could delay or prevent transactions that many stockholders may favor.

 

Some provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws may have the effect of delaying, discouraging or preventing a merger or acquisition that our stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might receive a premium for their shares. These restrictions, which may also make it more difficult for our stockholders to elect directors not endorsed by our current directors and management, include the following:

 

   

Our restated certificate of incorporation provides for new class A preferred stock, which initially will give our founders, executive officers, employees and directors and their respective affiliates voting

 

33


Table of Contents
 

control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets. This concentrated control could discourage others from initiating any potential merger, takeover or other business combination that other stockholders may view as beneficial.

 

    Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that our restated bylaws and certain provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation may be amended only by two-thirds or more voting power of all of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. These supermajority voting requirements could impede our stockholders’ ability to make changes to our restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws, which could delay, discourage or prevent a merger, acquisition or business combination that our stockholders may consider favorable.

 

    Our restated certificate of incorporation generally provides that mergers and certain other business combinations between us and a related person be approved by the holders of securities having at least 80% of our outstanding voting power, as well as by the holders of a majority of the voting power of such securities that are not owned by the related person. This supermajority voting requirement could prevent a merger, acquisition or business combination that our stockholders may consider favorable.

 

    Our stockholders may not act by written consent. As a result, a holder, or holders, controlling a majority of our capital stock would not be able to take certain actions without holding a stockholders’ meeting.

 

    Our board of directors may issue, without stockholder approval, shares of undesignated preferred stock. The ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us.

 

    Our board of directors is classified and members of our board of directors serve staggered terms. Our classified board structure may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that stockholders may consider favorable.

 

As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to certain restrictions on business combinations. Under Delaware law, a corporation may not engage in a business combination with any holder of 15% or more of its capital stock unless the holder has held the stock for three years or, among other things, the board of directors has approved the business combination or the transaction pursuant to which such person became a 15% holder prior to the time the person became a 15% holder. Our board of directors could rely on Delaware law to prevent or delay an acquisition of us.

 

Risks Relating to Our Business

 

We depend on our contracts with U.S. Government agencies for a significant portion of our revenues and, if our reputation or relationships with these agencies were harmed, our future revenues and growth prospects would be adversely affected.

 

We are heavily dependent upon the U.S. Government as our primary customer and we believe that the success and development of our business will continue to depend on our successful participation in U.S. Government contract programs. We generated 89%, 86% and 85% of our total consolidated revenues from the U.S. Government (including all branches of the U.S. military) in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Revenues from the U.S. Army represented 16%, 13% and 13% of our total consolidated revenues in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Revenues from the U.S. Navy represented 14%, 13% and 12% of our total consolidated revenues in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Revenues from the U.S. Air Force represented 10%, 11% and 11% of our total consolidated revenues in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Table of Contents

For the foreseeable future, we expect to continue to derive a substantial portion of our revenues from work performed under U.S. Government contracts. Our reputation and relationship with the U.S. Government, and in particular with the agencies of the Department of Defense (DoD) and the U.S. intelligence community, is a key factor in maintaining and growing revenues under contracts with the U.S. Government. Negative press reports regarding poor contract performance, employee misconduct, information security breaches or other aspects of our business could harm our reputation, particularly with these agencies. If our reputation with these agencies is negatively affected, or if we are suspended or debarred from contracting with government agencies for any reason, such actions would decrease the amount of business that the U.S. Government does with us and our future revenues and growth prospects would be adversely affected.

 

The U.S. Government may modify, curtail or terminate our contracts at any time prior to their completion and, if we do not replace them, we may be unable to sustain our revenue growth and may suffer a decline in revenues.

 

Many of the U.S. Government programs in which we participate as a contractor or subcontractor may extend for several years. These programs are normally funded on an annual basis. Under our contracts, the U.S. Government generally has the right not to exercise options to extend or expand our contracts and may modify, curtail or terminate the contracts and subcontracts at its convenience. Any decision by the U.S. Government not to exercise contract options or to modify, curtail or terminate our major programs or contracts would adversely affect our revenues and revenue growth.

 

We may not realize as revenues the full amounts reflected in our backlog, which could adversely affect our future revenues and growth prospects.

 

As of April 30, 2006, our total consolidated negotiated backlog was $15.8 billion, which included $3.9 billion in funded backlog (for information regarding our historical backlog levels, see “Business—Contracts—Backlog”). The U.S. Government’s ability not to exercise contract options or to modify, curtail or terminate our major programs or contracts makes the calculation of backlog subject to numerous uncertainties. Due to the uncertain nature of our contracts with the U.S. Government and the rights of our customers in our Commercial segment to cancel contracts and purchase orders in certain circumstances, we may never realize revenues from some of the engagements that are included in our backlog. Our unfunded backlog, in particular, contains amounts that we may never realize as revenues because the maximum contract value specified under a U.S. Government contract or task order awarded to us is not necessarily indicative of the revenues that we will realize under that contract. If we fail to realize as revenues amounts included in our backlog, our future revenue and growth prospects may be adversely affected.

 

The U.S. Government has increasingly relied on certain types of contracts that are subject to a competitive bidding process. Due to this competitive pressure, we may be unable to sustain our revenue growth and profitability.

 

The U.S. Government has increasingly been using contract vehicles, such as indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ), government-wide acquisition contracts (GWACs) and General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule contract vehicles, to obtain commitments from contractors to provide various products or services on pre-established terms and conditions. Under these contracts, the U.S. Government issues task orders for specific services or products it needs and the contractor supplies these products or services in accordance with the previously agreed terms. These contracts often have multi-year terms and unfunded ceiling amounts, therefore enabling but not committing the U.S. Government to purchase substantial amounts of products and services from one or more contractors. These contracts are typically subject to a competitive bidding process that results in greater competition and increased pricing pressure. Accordingly, we may not be able to realize revenues and/or

 

35


Table of Contents

maintain our historical profit margins under these contracts. The competitive bidding process also presents a number of more general risks, including the risk of unforeseen technological difficulties and cost overruns that may result from our bidding on programs before completion of their design and the risk that we may encounter expense, delay or modifications to previously awarded contracts as a result of our competitors protesting or challenging contracts awarded to us in competitive bidding. Our failure to compete effectively in this procurement environment would adversely affect our revenues and/or profitability.

 

Our overall profit margins on our contracts may decrease and our results of operations could be adversely affected if material and subcontract revenues continue to grow at a faster rate than labor-related revenues.

 

Our revenues are generated from either the efforts of our technical staff, which we refer to as labor-related revenues, or the receipt of payments for the costs of materials and subcontracts used in a project, which we refer to as material and subcontract (M&S) revenues. Generally, our M&S revenues have lower profit margins than our labor-related revenues. Our labor-related revenues increased by 6% from fiscal 2005 to 2006, by 16% from fiscal 2004 to 2005 and by 16% from fiscal 2003 to 2004, while our M&S revenues increased by 13% from fiscal 2005 to 2006, by 39% from fiscal 2004 to 2005 and by 32% from fiscal 2003 to 2004. M&S revenues accounted for 37%, 36% and 32% of our total consolidated revenues for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and labor-related revenues accounted for 63%, 64% and 68% of our total consolidated revenues for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. If M&S revenues continue to grow at a faster rate than labor-related revenues, our overall profit margins on our contracts may decrease and our profitability could be adversely affected.

 

A decline in the U.S. defense budget or changes in budgetary priorities may adversely affect our future revenues and limit our growth prospects.

 

Revenues under contracts with the DoD, including subcontracts under which the DoD is the ultimate purchaser, represented 69% of our total consolidated revenues in fiscal 2006. Changes in the budgetary priorities of the U.S. Government or the DoD could directly affect our operating results. For example, the U.S. defense budget declined in the late 1980s and the early 1990s, resulting in a slowing of new program starts, program delays and program cancellations. These reductions caused most defense-related government contractors to experience declining revenues, increased pressure on operating margins and, in some cases, net losses. While spending authorizations for defense-related programs by the U.S. Government have increased in recent years, and in particular after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, these spending levels may not be sustainable, and future levels of spending and authorizations for these programs may decrease, remain constant or shift to programs in areas where we do not currently provide services. Such changes in spending authorizations and budgetary priorities could occur due to the significant relief and recovery costs associated with natural disasters, the rapid growth of the federal budget deficit, increasing political pressure to reduce overall levels of government spending, or other factors. The U.S. Government conducted a strategic review of the U.S. defense budget in government fiscal 2005 and 2006, known as the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), and the results of this strategic review may result in shifts in DoD budgetary priorities or reductions in overall U.S. Government spending for defense-related programs, including with respect to programs from which we expect to derive a significant portion of our revenues. A significant decline in overall U.S. Government spending, including in the areas of national security, defense transformation, intelligence and homeland security, or a significant shift in its spending priorities, or the substantial reduction or elimination of particular defense-related programs, would adversely affect our future revenues and limit our growth prospects.

 

A delay in the completion of the U.S. Government’s budget process could delay procurement of our services and solutions and have an adverse effect on our future revenues.

 

In years when the U.S. Government does not complete its budget process before the end of its fiscal year on September 30, government operations are typically funded pursuant to a “continuing resolution” that

 

36


Table of Contents

authorizes agencies of the U.S. Government to continue to operate, but does not authorize new spending initiatives. When the U.S. Government operates under a continuing resolution, delays can occur in the procurement of our services and solutions. We have from time to time experienced a decline in revenues in our quarter ending January 31 as a result of this annual budget cycle, and we could experience similar declines in revenues if the budget process is delayed significantly in future periods. For example, the delay in the approval of a supplemental spending bill in 2006 resulted in procurement delays by the U.S. Government. Similar delays could have an adverse effect on our future revenues.

 

Our financial results may vary significantly from period-to-period.

 

Our financial results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. For these reasons, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance. Our financial results may be negatively affected by any of the risk factors listed in this “Risk Factors” section and, in particular, the following risks:

 

    a reduction of government funding or delay in the completion of the U.S. Government’s budget process

 

    decisions by the U.S. Government not to exercise contract options or to modify, curtail or terminate our major programs or contracts

 

    the potential decline in our overall profit margins if our material and subcontract revenues grow at a faster rate than labor-related revenues

 

    failure to accurately estimate or control costs under firm fixed price (FFP) contracts

 

    adverse judgments or settlements in legal disputes

 

    expenses related to acquisitions, mergers or joint ventures

 

    other one-time financial charges

 

The failure to successfully resolve issues related to our Greek Olympic contract could adversely affect our profitability and could require us to make large payments to the Greek government.

 

We entered into an FFP contract with the Greek government (Greek contract) to provide the security infrastructure that was used to support the 2004 Athens Summer Olympic Games and to serve as the security system for the Greek government’s public order departments after the Olympic Games. The Greek government has not made various payments under this contract and has not yet formally accepted the security infrastructure, which contains certain omissions and deviations from the contractual requirements. In 2005, we submitted a proposal for an alternative technical approach for the Command Decision and Support System (subsystems 1-7) and are attempting to address the omissions and deviations identified on the other subsystems. We have been negotiating for many months with the Greek government for a contractual modification to address technical, financial and contractual issues. To date, a mutually satisfactory agreement on the contractual modification has not been reached. Standby letters of credit relating to payment, performance and offset bonding arrangements under the contract totaling $234 million have been issued. Under the terms of these bonding arrangements, the Greek government could call these standby letters of credit at any time by submitting a written statement to the guaranteeing bank that we have not fulfilled our obligations under the contract. If this occurs, the banks issuing the letters of credit supporting these bonding arrangements will be entitled to immediate payment from us for the amount obtained from the guaranteeing banks by the Greek government, reducing our cash balances. Although we believe that any amounts obtained by the Greek government through the calling of these letters of credit may be retained by the Greek government only as security against any actual damages it proves in arbitration, if the

 

37


Table of Contents

Greek government does call these letters of credit, we can make no assurances as to whether we will be successful in arbitration or able to recover amounts owed from the Greek government.

 

Although we have been in discussions with the Greek government and our principal subcontractor to attempt to resolve these issues, we may not be able to reach mutually acceptable agreements, and we cannot predict the financial impact on us of the resolution of these issues. On April 21, 2006, we instituted arbitration proceedings before the International Chamber of Commerce to pursue our rights and remedies related to this contract. Under the terms of the contract, disputes are subject to ultimate resolution by binding arbitration before a panel of three Greek arbitrators in Greece. We have received $147 million of payments from the Greek government under the contract and recognized as revenues only $119 million of the total system price of $199 million. Even though the Greek government requested an extension of time in which to submit its answer to our arbitration complaint and we have continued efforts to attempt to negotiate a contract modification, the Greek government may file a counterclaim against us in the arbitration for damages, which could include reprocurement costs, repayment of amounts paid under the contract and penalties for delayed delivery and other types of damages. Due to the early stage of the arbitration, the amount of any claims that the Greek government may assert against us in the arbitration is not known. As of April 30, 2006, we have recorded $121 million of losses on this contract and unfavorable resolution of this matter could further adversely affect our profitability and cash balances. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Commitments and Contingencies—Firm Fixed-Price Contract with the Greek Government” and Note 19 of the notes to consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2006.

 

We use estimates in recognizing revenue, and changes in our estimates could adversely affect our future financial results.

 

Revenues from our contracts are primarily recognized using the percentage-of-completion method based on progress towards completion, with performance measured by the cost-to-cost method, efforts-expended method or units-of-delivery method, all of which require estimates of total costs at completion. Estimating costs at completion on our long-term contracts, particularly due to the technical nature of the services being performed, is complex and involves significant judgment. Adjustments to original estimates are often required as work progresses, experience is gained and additional information becomes known, even though the scope of the work required under the contract may not change. Any adjustment as a result of a change in estimate is recognized as events become known. Should updated estimates indicate that we will experience a loss on the contract, we recognize the estimated loss at the time it is determined. Additional information may subsequently indicate that the loss is more or less than initially recognized, which requires further adjustments in our consolidated financial statements, as was the case with the Greek contract. Due to the size of many of our contracts, changes in the underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates could result in adjustments that may adversely affect future financial results.

 

Adverse judgments or settlements in legal disputes could require us to pay potentially large damage awards, which would adversely affect our cash balances and profitability.

 

We are subject to, and may become a party to, a variety of litigation or other claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Adverse judgments or settlements in some or all of these legal disputes may result in significant monetary damages or injunctive relief against us. The litigation and other claims described in this proxy statement/prospectus are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. For example, an unfavorable final settlement or judgment of our dispute with the Greek government, Telcordia Technologies, Inc.’s dispute with Telkom South Africa, or our disputes relating to our joint venture, INTESA, could adversely affect our cash balances and profitability. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Commitments and Contingencies.”

Our failure to attract, train and retain skilled employees, including our management team, would adversely affect our ability to execute our strategy.

 

The availability of highly trained and skilled technical, professional and management personnel is critical to our future growth and profitability. Competition for scientists, engineers, technicians and professional and management personnel is intense and competitors aggressively recruit key employees. Because of our growth and increased competition for experienced personnel, particularly in highly specialized areas, it has become more difficult to meet all of our needs for these employees in a timely manner and this may affect our growth in the current fiscal year. Although we intend to continue to devote significant resources to recruit, train and retain qualified employees, we may not be able to attract and retain these employees. Any failure to do so would have an adverse effect on our ability to execute our strategy.

 

In addition to attracting and retaining qualified engineering, technical and professional personnel, we believe that our success will also depend on the continued employment of a highly qualified and experienced senior management team and its ability to generate new business. Our inability to retain appropriately qualified and experienced senior executives could cause us to lose customer relationships or new business opportunities.

 

Our revenues and growth prospects may be adversely affected if we or our employees are unable to obtain the security clearances or other qualifications we and they need to perform services for our customers.

 

Many U.S. Government programs require contractors to have security clearances. Depending on the level of required clearance, security clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain. If we or our employees are unable to obtain or retain necessary security clearances, we may not be able to win new business, and our existing customers could terminate their contracts with us or decide not to renew them. To the extent we cannot obtain or maintain the required security clearances for our employees working on a particular contract, we may not derive the revenue anticipated from the contract.

 

Employee misconduct, including security breaches, or our failure to comply with laws or regulations applicable to our business could cause us to lose customers or our ability to contract with the U.S. Government.

 

Because we are a U.S. Government contractor, misconduct, fraud or other improper activities by our employees or our failure to comply with laws or regulations could have a significant negative impact on our business and reputation. Such misconduct could include the failure to comply with U.S. Government procurement regulations, regulations regarding the protection of classified information, legislation regarding the pricing of labor and other costs in U.S. Government contracts, regulations on lobbying or similar activities, environmental laws and any other applicable laws or regulations. Many of the systems we develop involve managing and protecting information relating to national security and other sensitive government functions. A security breach in one of these systems could prevent us from having access to such critically sensitive systems. Other examples of potential employee misconduct include time card fraud and violations of the Anti-Kickback Act. The precautions we take to prevent and detect these activities may not be effective, and we could face unknown risks or losses. Our failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations or misconduct by any of our employees could subject us to fines and penalties, loss of security clearance and suspension or debarment from contracting with the U.S. Government, any of which would adversely affect our business.

 

Our U.S. Government contracts may be terminated and we may be liable for penalties under a variety of procurement rules and regulations and changes in government regulations or practices could adversely affect our profitability, cash balances or growth prospects.

 

We must comply with laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of U.S. Government contracts, which affect how we do business with our customers. Such laws and regulations may

 

39


Table of Contents

potentially impose added costs on our business and our failure to comply with them may lead to penalties and the termination of our U.S. Government contracts. Some significant regulations that affect us include:

 

    the Federal Acquisition Regulation and supplements, which regulate the formation, administration and performance of U.S. Government contracts

 

    the Truth in Negotiations Act, which requires certification and disclosure of cost and pricing data in connection with contract negotiations

 

    the Cost Accounting Standards, which impose accounting requirements that govern our right to reimbursement under certain cost-based government contracts

 

The U.S. Government may revise its procurement practices or adopt new contract rules and regulations, such as cost accounting standards, at any time. In addition, the U.S. Government may face restrictions or pressure from government employees and their unions regarding the amount of services the U.S. Government may obtain from private contractors. Any of these changes could impair our ability to obtain new contracts or contracts under which we currently perform when those contracts are put up for recompetition bids. Any new contracting methods could be costly or administratively difficult for us to implement and could adversely affect our future revenues.

 

Additionally, our contracts with the U.S. Government are subject to periodic review and investigation. If such a review or investigation identifies improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil or criminal penalties or administrative sanctions, including the termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, the triggering of price reduction clauses, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or debarment from doing business with U.S. Government agencies. We could also suffer harm to our reputation if allegations of impropriety were made against us, which would impair our ability to win awards of contracts in the future or receive renewals of existing contracts. We are from time to time subject to investigations by the DoD and other agencies. Although we have never had any material penalties or administrative sanctions imposed upon us, such penalties and sanctions are not uncommon in the industry. If we incur a material penalty or administrative sanction or otherwise suffer harm to our reputation, our profitability, cash position and future prospects could be adversely affected.

 

Our business is subject to routine audits and cost adjustments by the U.S. Government, which, if resolved unfavorably to us, could adversely affect our profitability.

 

U.S. Government agencies routinely audit and review their contractors’ performance on contracts, cost structure, pricing practices and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. They also review the adequacy of, and a contractor’s compliance with, its internal control systems and policies, including the contractor’s purchasing, property, estimating, compensation and management information systems. Such audits may result in adjustments to our contract costs, and any costs found to be improperly allocated will not be reimbursed. To date, none of our audits have resulted in material adjustments and all of our indirect contract costs have been agreed upon through fiscal 2003 and are not subject to further adjustment. We have recorded contract revenues in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 based upon costs we expect to realize upon final audit. However, we do not know the outcome of any future audits and adjustments and, if future audit adjustments exceed our estimates, our profitability could be adversely affected.

 

If we are unable to accurately estimate the costs, time and resources, or to effectively manage and control costs, associated with various contractual commitments, our profitability may be adversely affected.

 

Over the last three fiscal years, an average of 18% of our total consolidated revenues were derived from FFP and target cost and fee with risk sharing contracts, in which we bear risk that our actual costs may exceed the

Table of Contents

estimated costs on which the prices are negotiated. Under FFP contracts, we agree to fulfill our obligations at a set price. Under target cost and fee with risk sharing contracts, customers reimburse our costs plus a specified or target fee or profit, if our actual costs equal a negotiated target cost. Under such contracts, if our actual costs exceed the target costs, our target fee and cost reimbursement are reduced by a portion of the cost overrun. When making proposals for engagements on these types of contracts, we rely heavily on our estimates of costs and timing for completing the associated projects, as well as assumptions regarding technical issues. In each case, our failure to accurately estimate costs or the resources and technology needed to perform our contracts or to effectively manage and control our costs during the performance of our work could result, and in some instances, including the Greek contract, has resulted, in reduced profits or in losses. More generally, any increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays in connection with the performance of these contracts, including costs and delays caused by contractual disputes or other factors outside of our control, could make these contracts less profitable or unprofitable. We have recorded losses on FFP contracts from time to time, including the Greek contract. Future losses could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

 

Our services and operations sometimes involve using, handling or disposing of hazardous materials, which could expose us to potentially significant liabilities.

 

Our services sometimes involve the investigation or remediation of environmental hazards, as well as the use, handling or disposal of hazardous materials. These activities and our operations generally subject us to extensive foreign, federal, state and local environmental protection and health and safety laws and regulations, which, among other things, require us to incur costs to comply with these regulations and could impose liability on us for contamination. Furthermore, failure to comply with these environmental protection and health and safety laws could result in civil or criminal sanctions, including fines, penalties or suspension or debarment from contracting with the U.S. Government. Additionally, our ownership and operation of real property also subjects us to environmental protection laws, some of which hold current or previous owners or operators of businesses and real property liable for contamination, even if they did not know of and were not responsible for the contamination. Although we have not incurred any material costs related to environmental matters to date, any violations of, or liabilities pursuant to, these laws or regulations could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

 

Acquisitions, investments and joint ventures could result in operating difficulties, dilution and other adverse consequences to our business.

 

We have historically supplemented our internal growth through acquisitions, investments and joint ventures and expect that a significant portion of our planned growth will continue to come from these transactions. We evaluate potential acquisitions, investments and joint ventures on an ongoing basis. Our acquisitions, investments and joint ventures pose many risks, including:

 

    we may not be able to compete successfully for available acquisition candidates, complete future acquisitions and investments or accurately estimate the financial effect of acquisitions and investments on our business

 

    future acquisitions, investments and joint ventures may require us to issue capital stock or spend significant cash or may result in a decrease in our operating income or operating margins and we may be unable to recover investments made in any such acquisitions

 

    we may have trouble integrating acquired businesses or retaining their personnel or customers

 

    acquisitions, investments or joint ventures may disrupt our business and distract our management from other responsibilities

 

41


Table of Contents
    we may not be able to effectively influence the operations of our joint ventures, which could adversely affect our operations

 

We may not be able to continue to identify attractive acquisitions or joint ventures. Acquired entities or joint ventures may not operate profitably. Additionally, we may not realize anticipated synergies and acquisitions may not result in improved operating performance. If our acquisitions, investments or joint ventures fail or perform poorly, our business could be adversely affected.

 

In conducting our business, we depend on other contractors and subcontractors. If these parties fail to satisfy their obligations to us or the U.S. Government, or if we are unable to maintain these relationships, our revenues, profitability and growth prospects could be adversely affected.

 

We depend on contractors and subcontractors in conducting our business. There is a risk that we may have disputes with our subcontractors arising from, among other things, the quality and timeliness of work performed by the subcontractor, customer concerns about the subcontractor, our failure to extend existing task orders or issue new task orders under a subcontract, or our hiring of a subcontractor’s personnel. In addition, if any of our subcontractors fail to deliver on a timely basis the agreed-upon supplies and/or perform the agreed-upon services, our ability to fulfill our obligations as a prime contractor may be jeopardized. During the past five fiscal years, on several occasions we have incurred non-material losses resulting from the failure of our subcontractors to perform their subcontract obligations. Although material losses due to subcontractor performance problems have been rare, material losses could arise in future periods and subcontractor performance deficiencies could result in a customer terminating a contract for default. A termination for default could expose us to liability and have an adverse effect on our ability to compete for future contracts and orders, especially if the customer is an agency of the U.S. Government.

 

We also rely on relationships with other contractors when we act as their subcontractor or joint venture partner. Our future revenues and growth prospects could be adversely affected if other contractors eliminate or reduce their subcontracts or joint venture relationships with us, or if the U.S. Government terminates or reduces these other contractors’ programs, does not award them new contracts or refuses to pay under a contract. Additionally, companies that do not initially have access to U.S. Government contracts may perform services as our subcontractor for a U.S. Government customer, and through that exposure secure future positions as prime U.S. Government contractors. If any of our current subcontractors were awarded prime contractor status in the future, not only would we have to compete with them for future U.S. Government contracts, but our ability to perform our current and future contracts might also be impaired.

 

Systems failures could disrupt our business and impair our ability to effectively provide our products and services to our customers, which could damage our reputation and adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

 

We are subject to systems failures, including network, software or hardware failures, whether caused by us, third-party service providers, intruders or hackers, computer viruses, natural disasters, power shortages or terrorist attacks. Through fiscal 2008, we will be making significant changes to our internal financial systems, which could also subject us to systems failures. Any such failures could cause loss of data and interruptions or delays in our or our customers’ businesses and could damage our reputation. In addition, the failure or disruption of our communications or utilities could cause us to interrupt or suspend our operations or otherwise adversely affect our business. Our property and business interruption insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all losses that may occur as a result of any system or operational failure or disruption and, as a result, our future results could be adversely affected.

 

42


Table of Contents

The systems and networks that we maintain for our customers could also fail. If a system or network we maintain were to fail or experience service interruptions, we might experience loss of revenue or face claims for damages or contract termination. Our errors and omissions liability insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all the damages that we might incur and, as a result, our future results could be adversely affected.

 

We have only a limited ability to protect our intellectual property rights, which are important to our success. Our failure to adequately protect our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our competitive position.

 

Our success depends, in part, upon our ability to protect our proprietary information and other intellectual property. We rely principally on trade secrets to protect much of our intellectual property where we do not believe that patent or copyright protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. Although our employees are subject to confidentiality obligations, this protection may be inadequate to deter or prevent misappropriation of our confidential information. In addition, we may be unable to detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property or otherwise take appropriate steps to enforce our rights. Failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection would adversely affect our competitive business position. In addition, if we are unable to prevent third parties from infringing or misappropriating our copyrights, trademarks or other proprietary information, our competitive position could be adversely affected.

 

We face risks associated with our international business.

 

Approximately 3% of our total consolidated revenues in each of fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 was generated by SAIC entities outside of the United States. Additionally, our domestic entities periodically enter into contracts with foreign customers. These international business operations are subject to a variety of the risks associated with conducting business internationally, including:

 

    changes in or interpretations of foreign laws, regulations or policies that may adversely affect the performance of our services, sale of our products or repatriation of our profits to the United States

 

    the imposition of tariffs

 

    hyperinflation or economic or political instability in foreign countries

 

    imposition of limitations on or increase of withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by foreign subsidiaries or joint ventures

 

    conducting business in places where laws, business practices and customs are unfamiliar or unknown

 

    the imposition of restrictive trade policies

 

    the imposition of inconsistent laws or regulations

 

    the imposition or increase of investment and other restrictions or requirements by foreign governments

 

    uncertainties relating to foreign laws and legal and arbitration proceedings

 

    compliance with a variety of U.S. laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

 

    compliance with U.S. export control regulations and policies that restrict our ability to communicate with non-U.S. employees and supply foreign affiliates and customers

 

    compliance with licensing requirements

 

Although revenues derived from our international operations have been relatively low, we do not know the impact that these regulatory, geopolitical and other factors may have on our business in the future and any of

 

43


Table of Contents

these factors could materially adversely affect our business. Failure to comply with U.S. Government laws and regulations applicable to international business like the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or U.S. export control regulations could have an adverse impact on our business with the U.S. Government. Additionally, these risks relating to international operations may expose us to potentially significant contract losses. For example, we have incurred significant losses under our Greek contract, and a portion of these losses may be attributable to difficulties associated with conducting business internationally.

 

We face aggressive competition that can impact our ability to obtain contracts and therefore affect our future revenues and growth prospects.

 

Our business is highly competitive in both the Government and Commercial segments. We compete with larger companies that have greater name recognition, financial resources and larger technical staffs. We also compete with smaller, more specialized entities that are able to concentrate their resources on particular areas. In the Government segment, we also compete with the U.S. Government’s own capabilities and federal non-profit contract research centers. To remain competitive, we must provide superior service and performance on a cost-effective basis to our customers.

 

Our existing indebtedness may affect our ability to take certain extraordinary corporate actions and may negatively affect our ability to borrow additional amounts at favorable rates.

 

As of April 30, 2006, we had approximately $1.2 billion in notes payable and long-term debt. The terms of the credit facilities place certain limitations on our ability to undertake extraordinary corporate transactions, such as a sale of significant assets. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to take these actions and the interests of our creditors in such transactions may be different from the interests of our stockholders. Additionally, the existence of this debt may make it more difficult for us to borrow additional amounts at favorable rates. For additional information regarding our existing indebtedness, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Outstanding Indebtedness.”

PROPOSAL I—THE MERGER

 

Purposes of the Merger

 

Our stockholders and employees were informed in June 2005 that our board of directors was conducting a review of strategic alternatives that included selling stock to the public in an IPO, seeking private equity capital, issuing additional long-term debt and exploring various means of increasing employee purchases of our common stock. After completing this review, the board determined that an IPO would best address our long-term objectives. The other alternatives were rejected for a variety of reasons, including that they did not solve the imbalance in the stock system, involved higher financing costs or represented only a temporary solution to our capital structure issues.

 

Our board of directors unanimously believes that creating a publicly traded stock is in the best interests of SAIC and our stockholders and employees. An IPO will provide us with greater financial flexibility to grow our business. We also believe that the IPO and new capital structure created by the merger will enable us to implement our vision and long-term strategy while preserving our core values, and focus on providing an environment where our employees’ entrepreneurial spirit can flourish. Specifically, we believe the IPO is the preferred alternative because it will:

 

    Enable us to use our cash and cash flows generated from operations to fund internal growth and growth through acquisitions. Although we had no legal obligation to do so, over the five fiscal years ended January 31, 2006 we used more than $2.4 billion of cash to provide liquidity to our stockholders by purchasing shares in our limited secondary market and in other transactions. We have maintained excess cash to address this ongoing imbalance in our stock system caused by more shares sold by selling stockholders than the number of shares purchased by buyers other than us. We expect that this significant stock system imbalance, and the related need to maintain excess cash, would continue for the foreseeable future without the IPO. Creating a public market for our common stock will eliminate our use of cash to provide liquidity to our stockholders by repurchasing their shares in the limited market or in other transactions.

 

    Provide us with the ability to use our publicly-traded common stock to pursue stock-based acquisitions that otherwise might not be available to us. We intend to continue our disciplined approach to internal investments and acquisitions that support our strategic growth plans.

 

Our company was founded on the belief that those who contribute to our success should own the company and benefit from that success. The transfer restrictions on the Old SAIC common stock have ensured that we remained owned and controlled by our current and former employees and their families. We have been able to provide limited liquidity by offering to purchase shares on a quarterly basis at prices set by our board of directors. This dedication to employee ownership has served us well over the years.

 

Our customers require us to make significant financial investments in our business. Our cash position is strong, but our stock system has consumed substantial amounts of our cash because of a significant imbalance between the number of shares sold and purchased by buyers other than the company. If we do nothing, this imbalance is expected to continue and consume a substantial portion of the cash generated by our business. If this happens, we will not be able to make the investments in our business we believe are necessary to be successful. Our board of directors and management believe that using our cash to grow the business and take advantage of business opportunities as they are presented is preferable.

 

Our board of directors and management firmly believe that maintaining employee ownership and control over our business is an important part of our culture and should not be sacrificed. We also believe that we and

 

49


Table of Contents

many of our stockholders would benefit from the greater liquidity provided by a publicly traded equity security. Therefore, the merger and new capital structure have been designed to maintain our culture of employee ownership and control, while simultaneously gaining access to the public equity market.

 

We hope to accomplish these goals by concentrating our equity ownership and voting power in our new class A preferred stock, and offering to the public our new common stock, which has the same economic rights but has less voting power and represents less of our total equity than the new class A preferred stock. Our new class A preferred stock will only be issued to our current stockholders in the merger and, after the merger, our new class A preferred stock and new common stock will be issued to our employees through our retirement and equity plans. At the same time, our new common stock will be publicly traded, providing us with a market pricing mechanism for our stock and an equity security that we can use when appropriate for strategic alliances and acquisitions in the future.

 

How the Merger is Structured

 

The merger is structured so as to provide greater flexibility in dealing with our diverse operations, and to authorize two classes of stock, one of which will be held by our existing stockholders and the other of which will be offered to the public in connection with the IPO. The stockholders of Old SAIC will have the right to receive shares of new class A preferred stock in exchange for their Old SAIC common stock. To achieve this structure:

 

    Old SAIC has formed a wholly-owned subsidiary (New SAIC) and, strictly for the purpose of facilitating the merger, New SAIC has formed a wholly-owned subsidiary (Merger Sub).

 

    Merger Sub will merge into Old SAIC, at which time the outstanding shares of class A common stock and class B common stock will be converted into the right to receive shares of new class A preferred stock, and Merger Sub will cease to exist.

 

The result will be that our current company, Old SAIC, will become a subsidiary of New SAIC, and you will own new class A preferred stock instead of Old SAIC common stock.

 

A copy of the merger agreement is included as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

What You Will Be Entitled to Receive Pursuant to the Merger

 

When the merger occurs:

 

    Each share of our outstanding class A common stock will be converted into the right to receive two shares of new class A preferred stock, and each share of our outstanding class B common stock, subject to the exercise of appraisal rights, will be converted into the right to receive 40 shares of new class A preferred stock.

 

    All of the class A and class B common stock you currently own will be converted into and allocated among four series of new class A preferred stock on the following basis:

 

    20 percent will be designated series A-1 preferred stock

 

    20 percent will be designated series A-2 preferred stock

 

    30 percent will be designated series A-3 preferred stock

 

    30 percent will be designated series A-4 preferred stock

 

50


Table of Contents

For example, a stockholder holding 1,000 shares of class A common stock will be entitled to receive the following shares of new class A preferred stock in the merger:

 

    400 shares of series A-1 preferred stock

 

    400 shares of series A-2 preferred stock

 

    600 shares of series A-3 preferred stock

 

    600 shares of series A-4 preferred stock

 

A stockholder holding 1,000 shares of class B common stock will be entitled to receive the following shares of new class A preferred stock in the merger:

 

    8,000 shares of series A-1 preferred stock

 

    8,000 shares of series A-2 preferred stock

 

    12,000 shares of series A-3 preferred stock

 

    12,000 shares of series A-4 preferred stock

 

While the conversion will be on a per share basis, the allocation of the new class A preferred stock among the four series will be completed on an account-by-account basis. For example, if shares of Old SAIC common stock are held both individually and in a revocable trust, the new class A preferred stock will be separately allocated among the four series separately for each account. Moreover, all shares of new class A preferred stock that are issued to a single account will be aggregated and allocated among the four series, even if the shares of Old SAIC common stock that were held in that account were acquired at different times or in a different manner (e.g. an option exercise).

 

Except for the transfer restrictions that we describe below, each share of new class A preferred stock will be identical.

 

The Public Offering

 

After the merger is approved, subject to market conditions, we plan to conduct a IPO of new common stock. The board will proceed with the IPO at a time when it believes that the offering is likely to be well received in the marketplace.

 

In the IPO, we expect to sell a number of shares that will be sufficient to create a satisfactory trading market in our new common stock. After the IPO:

 

    new class A preferred stock will constitute from 80% to 90% of our total outstanding capital stock and substantially all of our total voting power

 

    new common stock will constitute from 10% to 20% of our total outstanding capital stock

Table of Contents

We do not expect to determine the IPO price for the new common stock until the Fall of 2006. The IPO price of these shares will be determined in our negotiations with the representatives of the underwriters, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. In determining the IPO price, we and the underwriters expect to consider a number of factors in addition to prevailing market conditions, including:

 

    the history of and prospects for our industry and for professional and technical services companies generally

The Special Dividend

 

The board of directors of Old SAIC intends to declare a special dividend that will be paid from cash held by Old SAIC to stockholders who will be holders of Old SAIC common stock as of the dividend record date to be set by the board of directors. Payment will be conditioned upon completion of the IPO, and Old SAIC expects to pay the special dividend within 25 days after the IPO. The special dividend is expected to range from approximately $10 to $15 per share of Old SAIC class A common stock and from approximately $200 to $300 per share of Old SAIC class B common stock, which is the equivalent of a range from approximately $5 to $7.50 per share of new class A preferred stock. The special dividend could exceed the net proceeds from the IPO, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option, by up to approximately $1 billion.

 

How We Will Effect the Merger and the Special Dividend

 

The IPO is conditioned on completion of the merger. If approved, we will effect the merger shortly before the closing of the IPO. At that time, we will file a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. We currently expect that this will occur in the Fall of 2006.

 

Prior to the merger, the board of directors of Old SAIC intends to declare a special dividend on Old SAIC common stock. Payment will be conditioned upon completion of the IPO, and Old SAIC expects to pay the special dividend within 25 days after the IPO.

 

New SAIC’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation

 

New SAIC’s restated certificate of incorporation will:

 

    replace the current class A and class B common stock with a single new class A preferred stock that will be entitled to 10 votes per share and is comprised of four series to implement the transfer restrictions described below

 

    authorize a new common stock that will have the same economic rights as the new class A preferred stock, but will be entitled to one vote per share

 

52


Table of Contents
    eliminate the requirement that you must offer your shares to us for purchase before you can sell them to third parties

 

    eliminate our right to repurchase your shares on termination of affiliation

 

    add provisions that restrict the transferability of the new class A preferred stock for a period of time

 

There are additional changes in New SAIC’s restated certificate of incorporation. You should read “Description of Capital Stock, Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws” and New SAIC’s form of restated certificate of incorporation, which is included as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

Voting Rights

 

Holders of new class A preferred stock will be entitled to 10 votes per share on all matters voted upon by our stockholders. Holders of new common stock will have the same economic rights as holders of new class A preferred stock, but will be entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted upon by our stockholders.

 

Transfer Restrictions on Shares of New Class A Preferred Stock

 

To facilitate the IPO, New SAIC’s restated certificate of incorporation will, for certain periods of time, restrict you from selling or transferring new class A preferred stock to anyone other than “permitted transferees.” These restrictions will expire:

 

    90 days after our IPO for shares of series A-1 preferred stock

 

    180 days after our IPO for shares of series A-2 preferred stock

 

    270 days after our IPO for shares of series A-3 preferred stock

 

    360 days after our IPO for shares of series A-4 preferred stock

 

You also will be prohibited from buying a put option, selling a call option or entering into any other hedging or insurance transaction relating to your new class A preferred stock during these restriction periods.

 

Subject to restrictions on persons deemed to be our affiliates, you will be able to transfer shares of new class A preferred stock freely after the applicable restriction period expires. Management thinks that it is important for our employees to have a significant investment in our stock in order to be truly motivated to strive for our continued success and expects employees will maintain investments in the company until retirement.

 

During the restriction periods for any shares of new class A preferred stock, transfers will only be allowed to someone who is a permitted transferee. If, during the restriction period, you transfer any shares of new class A preferred stock to a permitted transferee, the transferee will receive the new class A preferred subject to the same restrictions. If you transfer any shares of new class A preferred stock to someone who is not a permitted transferee after the applicable restriction period expires, those shares automatically will convert into shares of new common stock.

 

A “permitted transferee” includes:

 

    an immediate family member of the transferor

 

53


Table of Contents
    a trust for the sole benefit of the transferor or an immediate family member of the transferor, and the transferor or any immediate family member of the transferor who receives shares of new class A preferred stock from any such trust

 

    an individual retirement account that receives shares of new class A preferred stock, provided that (1) the transferor is an employee benefit plan sponsored by New SAIC or any of its subsidiaries, (2) the transferor is a distributee of an employee benefit plan sponsored by New SAIC or any of its subsidiaries, or (3) the transferor is an individual retirement account for the benefit of a distributee of an employee benefit plan sponsored by New SAIC or any of its subsidiaries

 

    the beneficial owner of an individual retirement account, provided that the transferor is such individual retirement account

 

    the estate of a deceased holder of shares, provided that such transfer was pursuant to the deceased holder’s will or the laws of distribution

 

    the beneficiary of an estate of a deceased holder of shares, provided that the transferor is such estate and such beneficiary is the immediate family member of the deceased or a trust for the sole benefit of such immediate family member

 

    an employee benefit plan sponsored by New SAIC or any of its subsidiaries

 

    a lending institution in connection with a pledge of shares and such shares are pledged as bona fide collateral for a loan to the transferor

 

    New SAIC or any of its subsidiaries

 

    any distributee of an employee benefit plan sponsored by New SAIC or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of such plan, provided that the transferor is such employee benefit plan

 

    an employee of New SAIC or any of its subsidiaries, provided that the transferor is New SAIC or any of its subsidiaries

 

Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger

 

In considering our board of directors’ recommendation that you vote for the adoption and approval of the merger agreement, you should be aware that our directors and executive officers may have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of the other stockholders of Old SAIC. Our board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them, among other things, in making its recommendation.

 

Directors and Executive Officers of New SAIC

 

As a condition to the closing of the merger, the directors and executive officers of Old SAIC immediately before the merger will become the directors and executive officers of New SAIC. New SAIC has not paid its directors or executive officers for their service since its formation, and has not entered into any employment, severance or other agreements with its executive officers. We anticipate, however, that New SAIC’s compensation policies will be substantially similar to Old SAIC’s compensation policies. See “Management—Director Compensation” for information related to the compensation of the directors and “Executive Compensation” for information related to the compensation of, and agreements with, the executive officers of Old SAIC.

Stock, Options and Employee Benefits

 

Our directors and executive officers will be entitled to receive shares of new class A preferred stock as a result of the merger and participate in the special dividend based on their respective Old SAIC common stock and option holdings on the same terms and conditions as the other stock and option holders of Old SAIC.

 

Assuming that the IPO is completed, we estimate that the following dollar amounts will be paid to the current directors and “named executive officers” of Old SAIC (defined on page 144) as part of the special dividend:

(1)   The estimated range of dividend assumes that the board of directors of Old SAIC declares a special cash dividend payable to holders of record of Old SAIC common stock prior to the merger, and that the special dividend ranges from approximately $10 to $15 per share of Old SAIC class A common stock and approximately $200 to $300 per share of Old SAIC class B common stock.

 

(2)   The estimated dividend is based on beneficial ownership of Old SAIC common stock as of July 7, 2006 and assumes that shares subject to options exercisable within 60 days following July 7, 2006 will be exercised on or before the record date for the special dividend.

 

For more information, see “Principal Stockholders” concerning the beneficial ownership of shares of class A common stock as of July 7, 2006 by each of our current directors and named executive officers, and “Executive Compensation” concerning the compensation of, and arrangements with, our named executive officers.

 

The merger will not impact any unvested equity awards held by members of our board of directors and executive officers. In addition to their current stock and option holdings under the compensation plans of Old SAIC, our directors and executive officers will be entitled to participate in the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, if they are approved by our stockholders, and any other benefit and compensation plans of New SAIC.

 

Indemnification and Insurance

 

Old SAIC has entered into, and New SAIC intends to assume, indemnification agreements with each of its directors, executive officers and board appointed officers. See “Management—Indemnification of Directors and Officers.” In addition, New SAIC intends to maintain directors and officers liability insurance for its directors and executive officers similar to that of Old SAIC.

Appraisal Rights

 

Stockholders who hold class A common stock do not have appraisal rights in connection with the merger. Under Section 262 of the DGCL, record holders of shares of class B common stock who do not vote in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement but who properly demand appraisal of their shares will be entitled to appraisal rights as a result of the merger.

 

The following summary of the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL is not a complete statement of the provisions of that section and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Section 262 of the DGCL, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex E and is incorporated into this summary by reference.

 

Under Section 262, Old SAIC is required to notify each Old SAIC stockholder entitled to appraisal rights that appraisal rights are available at least 20 days before the meeting of stockholders. This proxy statement/prospectus constitutes notice to holders of class B common stock of their right to exercise appraisal rights.

 

Failure to comply with the procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL, in a timely and proper manner, will result in the loss of appraisal rights.

 

A vote against the adoption of the merger agreement or an abstention will not constitute a demand for appraisal. Holders of class B common stock wishing to exercise the right to seek an appraisal of their shares must hold of record the shares on the date the written demand for appraisal is made and must continue to hold the shares of record through the effective time of the merger, and must take the following actions:

 

    not vote in favor of adoption of the merger agreement, or vote against the adoption of the merger agreement or abstain if voting by proxy

 

    deliver a written demand for appraisal to Old SAIC before the taking of the vote on the merger agreement at the special meeting; the demand must reasonably inform us of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares

 

    follow the procedures set forth in Section 262

 

A stockholder who elects to exercise appraisal rights under Section 262 should mail or deliver a written demand for appraisal to: Corporate Secretary, Science Applications International Corporation, 10260 Campus Point Drive, San Diego, California 92121.

 

A demand for appraisal in respect of shares of class B common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger must be executed by or on behalf of the holder of record, fully and correctly, as his, her or its name appears on his, her or its stock certificates or in our stock records, and must state that such person intends thereby to demand appraisal of his, her or its shares of class B common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger in connection with the merger. If the shares of class B common stock are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, execution of the demand should be made in that capacity, and if the shares of class B common stock are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy and tenancy in common, the demand should be executed by or on behalf of all joint owners. An authorized agent, including two or more joint owners, may execute a demand for appraisal on behalf of a holder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner or owners and expressly disclose the fact that, in executing the demand, the agent is agent for such owner or

 

56


Table of Contents

owners. A record holder who holds shares of class B common stock as nominee for several beneficial owners, may exercise appraisal rights with respect to the shares of class B common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger held for one or more beneficial owners while not exercising such rights with respect to the shares of class B common stock held for other beneficial owners; in such case, however, the written demand should set forth the number of shares of class B common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger as to which appraisal is sought and where no number of shares of class B common stock is expressly mentioned the demand will be presumed to cover all shares of class B common stock that are held in the name of the record owner.

 

The fair value of class B common stock will be determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery. The appraised value of the shares will not include any value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger. The Court will also determine the amount of interest, if any, to be paid upon the amounts to be received by persons whose shares of class B common stock have been appraised. Holders of class B common stock considering seeking appraisal should be aware that the fair value of their shares of class B common stock as determined under Section 262 could be more or less than or the same as the consideration they would receive pursuant to the merger if they did not seek appraisal of their shares of class B common stock. The shares of class B common stock with respect to which holders have perfected their appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their appraisal rights are referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the dissenting shares.

 

The costs of the appraisal proceeding may be determined by the Court of Chancery and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable. The Court may also order that all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with an appraisal, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the fees and expenses of experts utilized in the appraisal proceeding, be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to be appraised.

 

Within 10 days after the effective date of the merger, Old SAIC must mail a notice to all stockholders who filed a written demand for appraisal in compliance with Section 262, and who have not voted in favor of the approval and adoption of the merger agreement, notifying those stockholders of the effective date of the merger. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, holders of dissenting shares may file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery for the appraisal of their shares, although they may at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger, or thereafter with the approval of Old SAIC, withdraw their demand for appraisal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, the holders of dissenting shares may also, upon written request, receive from Old SAIC a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such statement must be mailed within 10 days after a written notice therefor has been received by Old SAIC or within 10 days after the expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal, whichever is later. If a petition for an appraisal is timely filed by a holder of shares of class B common stock and a copy thereof is served upon Old SAIC, Old SAIC will then be obligated within 20 days to file with the Delaware Register in Chancery a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded an appraisal of their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached. After notice to such stockholders as required by the Court, the Delaware Court of Chancery is empowered to conduct a hearing on such petition to determine those stockholders who have complied with Section 262 and who have become entitled to appraisal rights thereunder. The Delaware Court of Chancery may require the holders of shares of class B common stock who demanded payment for their shares to submit their stock certificates to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceeding; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court of Chancery may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.

 

57


Table of Contents

Any holder of shares of class B common stock who has duly demanded an appraisal in compliance with Section 262 will not, after the effective time of the merger, be entitled to vote the shares of class B common stock subject to such demand for any purpose or be entitled to the payment of dividends or other distributions on those shares of class B common stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to holders of record of class B common stock at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger).

 

Dissenting shares lose their status as dissenting shares if:

 

    the merger is abandoned

 

    the stockholder fails to make a timely written demand for appraisal

 

    neither Old SAIC nor the stockholder files a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock within 120 days after the effective date of the merger

 

    the stockholder delivers to Old SAIC, within 60 days after the effective date of the merger, or thereafter with the approval of Old SAIC, a written withdrawal of the stockholder’s demand for appraisal of the dissenting shares, although no appraisal proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery may be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the court

 

Failure to follow the procedures required by Section 262 of the DGCL for perfecting appraisal rights is likely to result in the loss of appraisal rights. If a holder of class B common stock withdraws a demand for appraisal or has the appraisal rights terminated as described above, the holder of class B common stock will only be entitled to receive the merger consideration for those shares pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement (as well as its pro rata share of the special dividend).

 

Consequently, any stockholder willing to exercise appraisal rights is urged to consult with legal counsel prior to attempting to exercise such rights.

 

Listing

 

The new class A preferred stock will not be listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the organized over-the-counter market. We have been approved for listing of the new common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SAI.”

 

Conditions to the Merger

 

We will cause the merger to become effective only if each of the following conditions is satisfied or waived:

 

    adoption of the merger agreement by the requisite vote of stockholders of Old SAIC and by New SAIC, in its capacity as the sole stockholder of SAIC Merger Sub

 

    the amendment and restatement of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of New SAIC to the extent set forth substantially in the forms attached to the merger agreement

 

    the directors and executive officers of Old SAIC immediately before the merger shall be elected or appointed to serve as the directors and executive officers of New SAIC on or before the effective time of the merger

 

    the effectiveness of New SAIC’s registration statement on Form S-4 and any post-effective amendments thereto registering the shares of its new class A preferred stock pursuant to the merger and its new common stock to be issued upon conversion of the new class A preferred stock, of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, without the issuance of a stop order or initiation of any proceeding seeking a stop order by the Securities and Exchange Commission

Table of Contents
    the effectiveness of New SAIC’s registration statement on Form S-1 registering the shares of its new common stock for sale to the public, without the issuance of a stop order or initiation of any proceeding seeking a stop order by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the determination by Old SAIC’s board of directors or a designated board committee that the sale of such stock will be successfully completed promptly after the completion of the merger

 

    there is no statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, injunction or other order that will prohibit the consummation of the merger

 

    the receipt of all governmental and third party consents to the merger, except for consents which, if not obtained, would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of SAIC and its subsidiaries taken as a whole

 

We are not aware of any federal or state regulatory requirements that must be complied with or approvals that must be obtained in connection with the merger, other than pursuant to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences to Stockholders

 

In the opinion of Heller Ehrman LLP, the following discussion constitutes, in all material respects, a fair and accurate summary under current law of the material anticipated U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger and the special dividend to Old SAIC stockholders who exchange their shares of class A and class B common stock for shares of new class A preferred stock pursuant to the merger and receive the special dividend. This discussion addresses only holders of class A and class B common stock who hold such common stock as a capital asset. It does not address all of the federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular Old SAIC stockholder in light of that stockholder’s individual circumstances or to an Old SAIC stockholder who is subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

 

    a financial institution or insurance company

 

    a mutual fund

 

    a tax-exempt organization

 

    a stockholder who is not a U.S. person for federal income tax purposes

 

    a pass-through entity or an investor in such an entity

 

    a dealer or broker in securities or foreign currencies

 

    an Old SAIC stockholder who holds class A and/or class B common stock through individual retirement or other tax-deferred accounts

 

    a trader in securities who elects to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting

 

    an Old SAIC stockholder who holds class A and/or class B common stock as part of a hedge, appreciated financial position, straddle, constructive sale or conversion transaction

 

    an Old SAIC stockholder who acquired class A and/or class B common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation

 

The following discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Code, applicable Treasury regulations, administrative interpretations and court decisions, each as in effect as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. It is not binding on the courts or the IRS. In addition, this discussion does not address any state, local or foreign tax

Table of Contents

consequences of the merger or the special dividend. Old SAIC stockholders are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences to them of the merger and the special dividend in light of their particular circumstances including the applicability and effect of federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.

 

The Merger

 

The following federal income tax consequences will result from the merger:

 

    a holder of class A or class B common stock will not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of such class A or class B common stock solely for new class A preferred stock pursuant to the merger

 

    the tax basis of a holder of class A or class B common stock in such holder’s new class A preferred stock received pursuant to the merger will equal the tax basis of the Old SAIC shares surrendered in the merger

 

    the holding period of a holder of class A and class B common stock in the new class A preferred stock received pursuant to the merger will include the holding period for the class A and class B common stock surrendered in the merger

 

The foregoing conclusions are dependent on the accuracy of certain assumptions, including assumptions regarding the absence of changes in existing facts and law, the accuracy of the statements and facts concerning the merger set forth in the merger agreement and in this proxy statement/prospectus, the completion of the merger in the manner contemplated by the merger agreement and this proxy statement/prospectus, and the accuracy of representations and covenants made by Old SAIC and New SAIC contained in representation letters of officers of Old SAIC and New SAIC. If any of those representations, covenants or assumptions is inaccurate, the foregoing conclusions may not apply and the tax consequences of the merger could differ from those discussed here. In addition, an opinion of counsel represents only counsel’s best legal judgment and is not binding on the IRS or any court, nor does it preclude the IRS from adopting a contrary position. No ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS on the federal income tax consequences of the merger.

 

It is conceivable that the IRS would seek to have the special dividend and the merger treated as part of a single integrated transaction for federal income tax purposes in which you are exchanging your Old SAIC shares for a combination of cash and the class A preferred stock rather than giving the dividend independent significance. If the IRS asserts this position and if that position is ultimately sustained, any gain you realize on the exchange would be taxable to the extent of the amount of the cash received as a special dividend. For this purpose, the gain you realize would be equal to the value of the Old SAIC stock at the time of the merger over your tax basis in that stock. The taxable gain recognized would be long-term capital gain if you held the Old SAIC stock for more than one year at the time of the merger, and short-term capital gain if your holding period was one year or less. To the extent the cash received is in excess of the gain you realize in the transaction, the remaining cash would be treated as a non-taxable return of your investment in the Old SAIC stock (to the extent thereof) and would reduce your basis in the new class A preferred stock received in the merger. If the special dividend is treated as additional amount paid for your shares in the merger, it would not be treated as a dividend for federal income tax purposes. Old SAIC intends to take the position that the special dividend should not be treated as an amount paid in exchange for the Old SAIC stock in the merger and will report the transactions for federal income tax purposes consistent with the descriptions of the federal income tax consequences of each such transaction as set forth herein and in the next section, respectively.

 

The Special Dividend

 

The special dividend should constitute a taxable dividend to you to the extent it is treated as paid from Old SAIC’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under federal income principles. However, if

 

60


Table of Contents

the special dividend is treated as an additional amount paid for your shares in the merger as discussed above, it would not be treated as a dividend for federal income tax purposes. Dividends in excess of our earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will first be applied against and reduce your adjusted tax basis in your Old SAIC common stock, but not below zero. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of your Old SAIC common stock and will be long-term capital gain if your holding period for your Old SAIC common stock was more than one year at the time the special dividend is received.

 

Holders of Old SAIC common stock who are individuals and satisfy a holding period requirement with respect to their Old SAIC common stock will be subject to federal income taxation at a maximum rate of 15% on such portion of the special dividend as constitutes dividend income to them. To satisfy the holding period requirement, you must hold your Old SAIC common stock for a period of at least 61 days of the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date (which should be the record date of the dividend). Individual Old SAIC stockholders should consult their own tax advisors as to satisfaction of the holding period requirement and other possible limitations on eligibility for such maximum 15% rate under their particular circumstances, in particular if such Old SAIC stockholder is under an obligation (whether pursuant to a short sale or otherwise) to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. Individual Old SAIC stockholders will be subject to tax on any long-term capital gain that may be recognized in connection with the special dividend at a maximum federal income tax rate of 15% and will be taxable at ordinary income rates on any short-term capital gain.

 

The Management Stock Compensation Plan, the Stock Compensation Plan and the Key Executive Stock Deferral Plan hold shares of Old SAIC common stock. The special dividend payable with respect to those shares (whether vested or unvested) will be held in trust and paid in accordance with the terms of each plan. Upon distribution, such portion which is attributable to the special dividend will be taxable at ordinary income tax rates and will not be subject to the maximum tax rate of 15%.

 

Dividends will be paid on vesting stock held directly by employees and former employees. Dividends payable on vested stock will be eligible for the 15% dividend tax rate discussed above. However, unless the participant has filed an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, dividends payable on unvested stock will be taxable at ordinary income rates and will not be subject to the maximum tax rate of 15%.

 

Holders of Old SAIC common stock who are corporations will recognize ordinary dividend income with respect to such portion of the special dividend that constitutes dividend income to them. This dividend income may be eligible for a dividends received deduction. Dividend income and long-term capital gains of corporate taxpayers are not eligible for the special tax rates applicable to individual taxpayers as described above.

 

We will issue information reports to Old SAIC stockholders and the IRS after the end of the year in which the special dividend is paid advising as to how much of the special dividend is paid from Old SAIC’s current or accumulated earnings and profits and therefore constitutes dividend income to you.

 

Backup Withholding

 

You may be subject to backup withholding with respect to receipt of the special dividend and cash paid in lieu of fractional shares if you are not exempt from backup withholding (by reason of being a corporation, tax-exempt entity or certain other exempt payees) and if you:

 

    fail to furnish your taxpayer identification number, which, for an individual, is ordinarily his or her social security number

 

    furnish an incorrect taxpayer identification number

 

61


Table of Contents
    are notified by the IRS that you have failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends

 

    fail to certify, under penalties of perjury, that you have furnished a correct taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified you that you are subject to backup withholding

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax but a method of tax collection. You generally will be entitled to credit any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules against your federal income tax liability provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

 

Accounting Treatment

 

For accounting purposes, the merger will be treated as a recapitalization of Old SAIC with New SAIC as the acquiror (a reverse merger). The accounting basis used to initially record the assets and liabilities in New SAIC will be the carryover basis of Old SAIC.

PROPOSAL II—2006 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan was adopted by our board of directors, subject to stockholder approval. The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options (including incentive stock options, as defined in section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, and nonstatutory stock options), restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and other similar types of awards (including other awards under which recipients are not required to pay any purchase or exercise price, such as phantom stock rights), as well as cash awards. New SAIC stock subject to the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan will either be our new class A preferred stock or new common stock as determined by the committee of our board of directors administering the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

The purpose of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is to enhance the long-term stockholder value of New SAIC by offering incentives to attract, retain and motivate the best available personnel. The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan permits eligible individuals to participate in the growth in value of the equity of New SAIC. Our board of directors believes that equity compensation awards are an important part of New SAIC’s overall compensation program and that the awards are important in retaining and motivating existing personnel.

 

The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan will become effective on the effective date of the merger, subject to stockholder approval. Old SAIC seeks stockholder approval in order to qualify the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and certain awards made pursuant to it under the incentive stock option provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and to permit New SAIC to increase the potential that it may deduct for federal income tax purposes certain compensation that may be paid under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan provides that an aggregate of up to 75,000,000 shares of our stock will be available to be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, plus additional shares that may be added to the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan as described below. Shares that (1) are forfeited or repurchased by New SAIC at the original purchase price or less, (2) are restored by our board of directors or its committee pursuant to provisions under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan that permit options to be settled in shares on a net appreciation basis, (3) are issuable upon exercise of awards that expire or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full or (4) are not delivered to a holder in consideration for applicable tax withholding will continue to be available for issuance under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

In addition, the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan has an “evergreen” feature pursuant to which additional shares will automatically be added to the shares available for issuance under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan without further stockholder approval beginning February 1, 2007 and on each February 1 for nine years thereafter. The number of shares that may be added each year will equal the least of 30,000,000 shares, 5% of New SAIC’s outstanding common stock as of the preceding January 31 (measured on an as-converted basis with respect to our outstanding shares of new class A preferred stock) or a number of shares established by our board of directors or the committee of our board of directors administering the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

If the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is approved by the stockholders and the merger is consummated, Old SAIC will cease granting awards under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and the Restated Bonus Compensation Plan. In addition, if the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan becomes effective, the evergreen feature of the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan will terminate. If the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is not approved by the stockholders or the merger is not consummated, the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and the Restated Bonus Compensation Plan will continue in operation pursuant to its terms.

General

 

A copy of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C. The following description of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is only a summary and is qualified by reference to the complete text of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

Administration. The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan will be administered by our board of directors, a committee of our board of directors or a delegated officer in certain circumstances.

 

Section 162(m) Limitations. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain executive officers (our chief executive officer and our other four most highly compensated officers). Certain performance-based compensation is specifically exempt from this deduction limit if it otherwise meets the requirements of Section 162(m). Stock options and other equity awards pursuant to which the recipient’s compensation is based solely on the appreciation of the value of the underlying shares from the date of grant until the date of the income recognition event may qualify as performance-based compensation if the company satisfies certain requirements in connection with the plan under which the awards are granted. Specifically, the plan must be stockholder-approved and must contain a limit on the number of shares that may be granted to any one individual under the plan during a specified period. Accordingly, the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan provides that no employee may be granted more than 1,000,000 shares subject to stock options and stock appreciation rights in any fiscal year.

 

Additional requirements apply to certain forms of compensation, such as stock awards and cash awards, in order for them to qualify as performance-based compensation, including a requirement that payment of the value of the awards be contingent upon achievement of performance goals that are established in a manner specified under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan permits New SAIC to issue awards incorporating the performance objectives and provides that these performance objectives called “objectively determinable performance conditions” may be based upon: net revenue dollars, revenue growth, earnings per share, return on assets, return on equity, net order dollars, net profit dollars, net profit growth, other financial objectives, objective customer satisfaction indicators, efficiency measures and individual performance, each with respect to New SAIC and/or an affiliate or individual business unit. Each performance condition will be (1) established either at the time an award is granted or no later than the earlier of 90 days after the beginning of the period of service to which it relates or before the elapse of 25% of the period of service to which it relates, (2) uncertain of achievement at the time it is established and (3) determinable as to achievement by a third party with knowledge of relevant facts. Despite the provisions above, certain awards under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, such as time vested restricted stock or restricted stock units, may not qualify for the performance-based exemption from the $1 million deduction limit.

 

Stockholder approval of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to this proposal will constitute stockholder approval of the share limitations for Section 162(m) purposes, as well as of the objectively determinable performance conditions, set forth above.

 

Eligibility. Nonstatutory stock options, stock awards and cash awards may be granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan to employees, directors (including non-employee directors) and consultants of New SAIC or its affiliates. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of New SAIC or its affiliates. The administrator, in its discretion, selects the employees to whom stock options and other stock awards, as well as cash awards, may be granted, the time or times at which awards are granted and the terms of awards to be granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

New Plan Benefits. Because benefits under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan will depend on the administrator’s actions and, with respect to options and other stock awards, the fair market value of our stock at

 

65


Table of Contents

various future dates, it is not possible to determine the benefits that employees, officers, directors and consultants will receive under awards if the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is approved by the stockholders. No awards have been granted or promised to be granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

Nonassignability of Awards. Unless otherwise determined by the administrator, awards granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan are not assignable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or to a designated beneficiary upon death and may be exercised, purchased or settled during the lifetime of the holder of the award only by the holder.

 

Termination of Awards. Generally, unless otherwise provided in the award agreement, if an awardee’s services to New SAIC as an employee, consultant or director terminate other than for death or disability or for cause, vested awards will remain exercisable for a period of 90 days following the awardee’s termination, or if earlier, until the expiration of the term of the award. If an awardee’s services to New SAIC as an employee, consultant or director terminate for cause, all of the awardee’s awards will immediately terminate as of the date of termination unless otherwise provided for in the award agreement. Unless otherwise provided for in the award agreement, if an awardee becomes disabled or dies while an employee, consultant or director of New SAIC, the vesting of all of the awardee’s unvested awards will accelerate, and all of the awardee’s awards will be exercisable until the expiration of the term of the award. The administrator has the authority to extend the period of time for which an award is to remain exercisable following an awardee’s termination (taking into account limitations under the Internal Revenue Code) but not beyond the expiration of the term of the award and to permit an award to be exercised with respect to unvested shares.

 

Adjustments on Changes in Capitalization, Change of Control or Dissolution. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination or reclassification, spin-off, extraordinary cash dividend or similar change to the capital structure of New SAIC (not including a fundamental transaction or change in control), our board of directors will make appropriate and equitable adjustments to (1) the number and type of shares subject to the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (including the number of shares subject to the evergreen feature), (2) any limits on the number of shares that may be granted to a participant under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and (3) the exercise, purchase or repurchase price and number and class of shares under each outstanding award. The specific form of any such adjustments shall be determined by the board.

 

The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan provides that in the event of our merger with or into another corporation, a sale of substantially all of our assets or another change of control transaction as determined by the administrator, the successor entity may assume or substitute all outstanding awards. If the successor entity does not assume or substitute all outstanding awards, the vesting of all awards will accelerate and any repurchase rights on awards will terminate. If a successor entity assumes or substitutes all awards and a participant is involuntarily terminated by the successor entity for any reason other than death, disability or cause within 18 months following the change of control, all outstanding awards of the terminated participant will immediately vest and be exercisable for a period of six months following termination. In the event of a change of control, the vesting of all awards held by non-employee directors of New SAIC will accelerate.

 

In the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of New SAIC, our board may cause awards to fully vest and may cause New SAIC’s repurchase rights to lapse upon completion of the dissolution. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of New SAIC, all outstanding awards will terminate immediately prior to the dissolution.

 

Amendment and Termination. The board may amend, suspend or terminate the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. However, New SAIC will obtain stockholder approval for any amendment to the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan to the extent required to comply with applicable laws and New York Stock Exchange listing requirements.

 

66


Table of Contents

Generally, no action by the board or stockholders may alter or impair any outstanding award under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan without the written consent of the holder. Awards may be granted during the ten years from the latest date our stockholders approve the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, subject to extension or termination earlier pursuant to its terms.

 

Stock Options

 

Each option is evidenced by a stock option agreement between New SAIC and the optionee and is subject to the following additional terms and conditions. Options will be exercisable for either our new common stock or new class A preferred stock as determined by the committee of our board of directors administering the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan allows the administrator broad discretion to determine the terms of individual options. The committee of our board of directors administering the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan may substitute our new common stock for new class A preferred stock at the time of exercise of an option.

 

Exercise Price. The administrator determines the exercise price of options at the time the options are granted. The exercise price of incentive stock options granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date of grant of the option, provided that the exercise price of an incentive stock option to an employee who is also a greater than 10% stockholder of New SAIC must have an exercise price at least equal to 110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date of grant of the option. The exercise price of nonstatutory stock options granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date of grant of the option. However, New SAIC may grant options with exercise prices equal to less than the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date of grant in connection with an acquisition by New SAIC of another company. If our new common stock is listed on a stock exchange, the fair market value of the stock subject to the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan will be the closing sales price of our new common stock.

 

Exercise of Option; Form of Consideration. The administrator determines when options vest and become exercisable and in its discretion may accelerate the vesting and/or exercisability of any outstanding option. New SAIC’s standard vesting schedule applicable to options granted to employees is 20% of the total number of shares subject to the option become vested and exercisable on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant and an additional 40% of the total number of shares subject to the option become vested and exercisable on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant. The means of payment for shares issued upon exercise of an option are specified in each option agreement. The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan permits payment to be made by cash, check, wire transfer, cancellation of indebtedness, other shares of New SAIC stock (with some restrictions), broker assisted same-day sales, in certain circumstances a delivery of cash or stock for any net appreciation in the shares at the time of exercise over the exercise price or any other means of consideration permitted by applicable law and the administrator.

 

Term of Option. The term of an option may be no more than ten years from the date of grant; provided that the term of an incentive stock option may not be more than five years from the date of grant for an optionee who is also a greater than 10% stockholder. No option may be exercised after the expiration of its term.

 

Stock Awards

 

Stock awards may be restricted stock grants, restricted stock units, deferred stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares or other similar stock awards (including awards having an exercise or purchase price that is less than the fair market value of our stock as of the date of grant of the award, such as phantom stock rights). Restricted stock grants are awards of a specific number of shares of our stock. Restricted stock units represent a

 

67


Table of Contents

promise to deliver shares of our stock, or an amount of cash or property equal to the value of the underlying shares, at a future date. Deferred stock is a grant of shares of our stock that are distributed in the future upon vesting. Stock appreciation rights are rights to receive cash and/or shares of our stock based on the amount by which the fair market value of a specific number of shares on the exercise date exceeds the exercise price established by the administrator. Performance shares are rights to receive amounts, denominated in cash or shares of our stock, based upon New SAIC’s or a participant’s performance during the period between the date of grant and a pre-established future date.

 

Each stock award is evidenced by a stock award agreement between New SAIC and the participant. The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan allows the administrator broad discretion to determine the terms of individual stock awards. Each stock award agreement may contain provisions such as the following: (1) the number and type of shares subject to the stock award, (2) the purchase price of the shares, if any, and the means of payment for the shares, (3) the performance criteria (including the objectively determinable performance conditions), if any, and level of achievement versus the criteria that will determine the number of shares granted, issued, retainable and vested, as applicable, (4) the terms, conditions and restrictions on the grant, issuance, vesting and forfeiture of the shares, as applicable, as may be determined from time to time by the administrator, (5) restrictions on the transferability of the stock award, and (6) further terms and conditions, in each case not inconsistent with the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as may be determined from time to time by the administrator. Shares may be granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan as stock awards without requiring the participant to pay New SAIC an amount equal to the fair market value of the stock subject to the award as of the award grant date in order to acquire the award shares.

 

Cash Awards

 

Cash awards may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. A cash award granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan may be made contingent on the achievement of objectively determinable performance conditions. The cash award will be reflected in an agreement that contains provisions such as the following: (1) the target and maximum amount payable to the participant as a cash award, (2) the objectively determinable performance conditions and level of achievement versus the criteria that will determine the amount of the payment, (3) restrictions on the alienation or transfer of the cash award prior to actual payment, (4) forfeiture provisions, and (5) further terms and conditions, in each case not inconsistent with the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as may be determined from time to time by the administrator. Nothing in the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan prevents New SAIC from granting cash awards outside of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan to any individual.

 

Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards

 

THE FOLLOWING IS A GENERAL SUMMARY OF THE TYPICAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ISSUANCE AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS OR OTHER AWARDS UNDER THE 2006 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN. IT DOES NOT DESCRIBE STATE OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ISSUANCE AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS OR OTHER AWARDS.

 

Options. An optionee who is granted an incentive stock option does not recognize taxable income at the time the option is granted or upon its exercise although the exercise is an adjustment item for alternative minimum tax purposes and may subject the optionee to the alternative minimum tax. Alternative minimum tax is an alternative method of calculating the income tax that must be paid each year, which includes certain additional items of income and tax preferences and disallows or limits certain deductions otherwise allowable for regular tax purposes. Alternative minimum tax is payable only to the extent that alternative minimum tax income exceeds “ordinary” federal income tax for the year (computed without regard to certain credits and special taxes).

 

68


Table of Contents

Upon a disposition of the shares acquired on exercise of an incentive stock option more than two years after grant of the option and one year after exercise of the option, the optionee will recognize long-term capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sale price and the exercise price. If a disposition occurs before either of the holding periods are satisfied, referred to as a disqualifying disposition, then (1) if the sale price exceeds the exercise price, the optionee will recognize capital gain equal to the excess, if any, of the sale price over the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and will recognize ordinary income equal to the difference, if any, between the lesser of the sale price or the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date and the exercise price; or (2) if the sale price is less than the exercise price, the optionee will recognize a capital loss equal to the difference between the exercise price and the sale price. New SAIC is not entitled to a federal income tax deduction in connection with incentive stock options, except to the extent that the optionee has taxable ordinary income on a disqualifying disposition (unless limited by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code).

 

An optionee does not recognize any taxable income at the time a nonstatutory stock option is granted. Upon the exercise of a nonstatutory option with respect to vested shares, the optionee has taxable ordinary income (and unless limited by Section 162(m), New SAIC is entitled to a corresponding deduction) equal to the option spread on the date of exercise. Any taxable income recognized in connection with an option exercise by an employee of New SAIC is subject to tax withholding by New SAIC. Upon a disposition of stock acquired upon exercise of a nonstatutory option, the optionee recognizes either long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on how long the stock was held, on any difference between the sale price and the exercise price, to the extent not recognized as taxable income on the date of exercise. New SAIC may allow nonstatutory options to be transferred subject to conditions and restrictions imposed by the administrator; special tax rules may apply on a transfer.

 

In the case of both incentive stock options and nonstatutory options, special federal income tax rules apply if New SAIC common stock is used to pay all or part of the option exercise price, and different rules than those described above will apply if unvested shares are purchased on exercise of the option.

 

In September 2005, the IRS issued proposed regulations under new Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, which was enacted by Congress in October 2004 and imposes significant new requirements with respect to nonqualified deferred compensation plans and arrangements. The types of compensatory arrangements affected by this new law are broad and include options to purchase preferred stock. While it is unclear whether the final regulations will retain these provisions or will otherwise apply to our new class A preferred stock, to avoid potentially severe adverse tax consequences, the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan permits New SAIC to substitute our new common stock for the new class A preferred stock at the time of exercise of an option to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A.

 

Stock Awards. Stock awards will generally be taxed in the same manner as nonstatutory stock options. However, shares issued under a restricted stock award are subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code to the extent the shares will be forfeited in the event that the participant ceases to provide services to New SAIC and are nontransferable. If a stock award is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant will not recognize ordinary income at the time the award shares are issued. Instead, the participant will recognize ordinary income on the dates when the stock is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or when the stock becomes transferable, if earlier. The participant’s ordinary income is measured as the difference between the amount paid for the stock, if any, and the fair market value of the stock on the date the stock is no longer subject to forfeiture.

 

The employee may accelerate his or her recognition of ordinary income, if any, and begin his or her capital gains holding period by timely filing (i.e., within thirty days of the share issuance date) an election pursuant to

 

69


Table of Contents

Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. In such event, the ordinary income recognized, if any, is measured as the difference between the amount paid for the stock, if any, and the fair market value of the stock on the date of such issuance, and the capital gain holding period commences on the date of issuance. The ordinary income recognized by an employee will be subject to tax withholding by New SAIC. Unless limited by Section 162(m), New SAIC is entitled to a deduction in the same amount as and at the time the employee recognizes ordinary income.

 

Cash Awards. Upon receipt of cash, the recipient will have taxable ordinary income, in the year of receipt, equal to the cash received. Any cash received will be subject to tax withholding by New SAIC. Unless limited by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, New SAIC will be entitled to a tax deduction in the amount and at the time the recipient recognizes compensation income.

 

Accounting Treatment

 

Based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), which was adopted on February 1, 2006, New SAIC will recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value on the date of grant of all stock options under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The total compensation expense will be based on the number of option shares times the fair value of an option. New SAIC is using the Black-Scholes valuation model to measure fair value of option grants. In addition, New SAIC will recognize compensation expense for other awards under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. In general, the expense associated with each award will be recognized over the requisite employee service period, generally the vesting period.

PROPOSAL III—2006 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

 

The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was adopted by our board of directors, subject to stockholder approval. The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides employees of New SAIC (and Old SAIC and any of our majority-owned subsidiaries designated by our board of directors) with an opportunity to purchase new class A preferred stock (or new common stock as determined by the compensation committee of our board of directors) through accumulated payroll deductions at a discounted purchase price. The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will become effective on the date the first offering period commences as determined by the compensation committee, subject to stockholder approval and the closing of the merger. Old SAIC seeks stockholder approval of the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan in order to qualify the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the right of participants to purchase shares under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan authorizes the purchase of shares under a non-Section 423 qualified component of the plan by employees of international subsidiaries in situations where a qualified plan creates adverse tax consequences in a particular jurisdiction.

 

The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides that an aggregate of up to 9,000,000 shares of our stock will be available for issuance under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, plus additional shares that may be added to the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan as described below.

 

The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan has an “evergreen” feature pursuant to which additional shares will automatically be added to the shares available for issuance under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan without further stockholder approval beginning February 1, 2007 and on each February 1 thereafter for nine more years. The number of shares that may be added each year will equal the least of 9,000,000 shares, 2% of New SAIC’s outstanding common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year (measured on an as-converted basis with respect to our outstanding shares of new class A preferred stock) or a number of shares established by the compensation committee of our board of directors.

 

If the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is approved by the stockholders and the merger is consummated, Old SAIC will cease issuing shares under the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. If the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is not approved by the stockholders or the merger is not consummated, the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will continue in operation pursuant to its terms.

 

A copy of the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D. The following description of the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is only a summary and so is qualified by reference to the complete text of the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

 

Administration

 

The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors or a committee consisting of management employees which has been delegated administrative responsibilities.

 

Eligibility

 

Generally, any person who is employed by New SAIC, Old SAIC or any of our majority-owned subsidiaries designated by our board of directors is eligible to participate in the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, provided that the employee is employed on the first day of an offering period and subject to certain limitations imposed by Section 423(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

71


Table of Contents

Participation

 

Eligible employees may participate in the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan by completing a subscription agreement in the form provided by New SAIC and filing it with New SAIC prior to the first business day of the applicable offering period or such other date as specified by the compensation committee.

 

Plan Characterization

 

The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is not subject to the provisions of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

Nonassignability of Options

 

Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or designation of a beneficiary in event of death.

 

New Plan Benefits

 

Because benefits under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will depend on the fair market value of our stock at various future dates, it is not possible to determine the benefits that will be received by employees if the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is approved by the stockholders.

 

Offering Periods

 

Unless and until the compensation committee determines to implement longer periods and except for the first offering period, each offering period will have a duration of three months and will commence on April 1, July 1, October 1 or January 1 of each year and will have only one purchase period which will run simultaneously with the offering period. The first offering period to commence after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus will commence and end on dates determined by the compensation committee. The first business day of each offering period is referred to as the “offering date.” The last business day of each purchase period is referred to as the “purchase date.”

 

Purchase Price

 

The purchase price per share at which shares are purchased under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is 85% of the fair market value of the class of stock subject to the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan on the applicable purchase date. The compensation committee has the authority to change the purchase price within a range of 85% to 100% of the fair market value of the stock on the offering date or the purchase date. If our new common stock is listed on a stock exchange, the fair market value of the stock subject to the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be the closing sales price of our new common stock.

 

Payment of Purchase Price; Payroll Deductions

 

The purchase price of the shares is paid with payroll deductions accumulated during the applicable offering period. The deductions are made as a percentage of the participant’s compensation in 1% increments, not less than 1%, nor greater than 10%, or such lower limit set by the compensation committee. Eligible compensation is

defined in the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to include base salary, wages, bonuses, incentive compensation, commissions, overtime, shift premiums and draws against commissions and to exclude long-term disability or workers’ compensation payments, car allowances, relocation payments and expense reimbursements. If payroll deductions are not permitted in a jurisdiction, participants in that jurisdiction may contribute via check or pursuant to another method approved by the compensation committee. A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan at any time during an offering period and may increase or decrease the rate of his or her payroll deductions once during an ongoing offering period by completing and filing a new authorization for payroll deductions. Payroll deductions will commence on the first payday following the offering date and will end on the last payday on or prior to the last purchase date of the offering period to which the subscription agreement is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the participant. No interest accrues on the payroll deductions of a participant in the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan unless required by local law.

 

Purchase of Stock; Exercise of Option

 

By executing a subscription agreement to participate in the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the participant accepts the grant of a 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan option to purchase shares during an offering period. Shares will be purchased at a discount of 15% (unless changed by the compensation committee) of the fair market value of the stock on the purchase date. The number of shares purchased by a participant will be determined by dividing the amount of the participant’s total payroll deductions for the offering period accumulated prior to the purchase date by 85% (unless changed by the compensation committee) of the fair market value of the stock on the purchase date for the applicable purchase period. Unless the participant’s participation is discontinued, each participant’s option for the purchase of shares will be exercised automatically on each purchase date at the applicable price.

 

No participant will be permitted to subscribe for shares under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan:

 

    if immediately after the grant of the option, the participant would own 5% or more of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of New SAIC or of a parent or subsidiary of New SAIC (including stock which may be purchased under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan or pursuant to any other options);

 

    if and to the extent the fair market value of the shares (plus the fair market value of all rights to purchase stock under all similar stock plans of New SAIC or of a parent or subsidiary of New SAIC) would exceed $25,000 (determined as of the offering date of the offering period in which the participant is participating) for each calendar year in which an option to purchase stock under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is outstanding; or

 

    if and to the extent immediately after the grant of the option, the participant would have the right to purchase in excess of 2,500 shares during an offering period, which limit is subject to adjustment by the compensation committee if the new limit is announced prior to the scheduled beginning of the first offering period to be affected.

 

In addition, if the number of shares to be purchased on a purchase date by all participating employees exceeds the number of shares then available under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, a pro rata allocation of the available shares will be made in as equitable a manner as is practicable. Any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant’s account which are not used to purchase stock due to the limitations described above will be returned to the participant as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable purchase period, without interest unless required by local law.

Holding Period

 

The compensation committee has the authority to establish a minimum holding period for shares purchased under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

 

Withdrawal

 

A participant may withdraw from an offering period by signing and delivering to New SAIC a notice of withdrawal from the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The withdrawal may be elected at any time prior to the end of an offering period or such other time as specified by the compensation committee.

 

Any withdrawal by the participant of accumulated payroll deductions for a given offering period automatically terminates the participant’s interest in that offering period. All of the participant’s contributions credited to his or her account will be paid to him or her without interest. A participant’s withdrawal from an offering period does not have an effect upon the participant’s eligibility to participate in subsequent offering periods under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan by filing a new authorization for payroll deductions. However, a participant may not re-enroll in the same offering period after withdrawal.

 

Termination of Employment

 

Termination of a participant’s employment for any reason, including retirement, death or the failure of a participant to remain an eligible employee of New SAIC or of a participating subsidiary, will immediately terminate the participant’s participation in the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Any payroll deductions credited to the participant’s account will be returned to the participant, or, in the case of the participant’s death, to the participant’s legal representative, without interest.

 

Amendment and Termination

 

The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will terminate ten years from approval by our stockholders, unless it is terminated earlier pursuant to its terms.

 

Our board may amend or terminate the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, but New SAIC will obtain stockholder approval for any amendment to the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to the extent required by applicable laws and New York Stock Exchange listing requirements. Unless approved by the stockholders of New SAIC, our board will not make any amendment that would increase the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan or change the designation or class of persons eligible to participate under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In addition, no action by the board or the stockholders may impair any outstanding option without the written consent of the participant except as set forth below.

 

Our board may make amendments to the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan as it determines to be advisable, including changes with respect to current offering periods or purchase periods, if the continuation of the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan or any offering period would result in financial accounting treatment for the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan that is different from the financial accounting treatment in effect on the date our board of directors adopted the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

 

Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization, Change of Control or Dissolution

 

Subject to any required action by New SAIC’s stockholders, (1) the number and type of shares covered by each outstanding option, (2) the price per share subject to each outstanding option and (3) the number and type of shares which have been authorized for issuance under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (including the

maximum number in the evergreen feature) will each be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number or kind of issued and outstanding shares resulting from a stock split, stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of the class of New SAIC’s stock subject to the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan effected without receipt of consideration by New SAIC or other change in the corporate structure or capitalization affecting the class of New SAIC’s stock subject to the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

 

In the event of a change in control transaction of New SAIC, the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will continue with regard to offering periods that commenced prior to the closing of the proposed transaction and shares will be purchased based on the fair market value of the successor entity’s stock on each purchase date, unless otherwise provided by the compensation committee. In addition, in the event that New SAIC effects a reorganization, recapitalization, rights offering or other increase or reduction of shares of its outstanding stock, or in the event of New SAIC’s being consolidated with or merged into any other corporation, the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, also make provision for adjusting the number and type of shares which have been authorized for issuance under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as well as the price per share of the stock covered by each outstanding option.

 

In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of New SAIC, each offering period under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan then in progress will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of the dissolution or liquidation, unless otherwise provided by the compensation committee. In addition, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation, the compensation committee may terminate the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan as of a date fixed by the compensation committee and give each participant the right to purchase shares under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan prior to the termination.

 

Federal Income Tax Consequences

 

THE FOLLOWING IS A GENERAL SUMMARY OF THE TYPICAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE OF SHARES UNDER THE 2006 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN. IT DOES NOT DESCRIBE STATE OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE OF SHARES UNDER THE 2006 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN.

 

The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and the right of participants to make purchases under the plan, is intended to qualify for the federal income tax treatment provided to employee stock purchase plans and their participants under the provisions of Sections 421 and 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under these provisions, no income will be taxable to a participant until the shares purchased under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan are sold or otherwise disposed of. Upon sale or other disposition of the shares, the participant will generally be subject to tax in a manner that depends upon the holding period of the shares. If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of (including by gift) more than two years from the first day of the offering period and more than one year from the date the shares are purchased, the participant will recognize ordinary income measured as the lesser of (1) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of the sale or disposition over the purchase price, or (2) an amount equal to 15% of the fair market value of the shares as of the first day of the offering period. Any additional gain or loss will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss. If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of (including by gift) before the expiration of either of these holding periods, the participant will recognize ordinary income generally measured as the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the shares are purchased over the purchase price. Any additional gain or loss on the sale or disposition will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on whether or not the disposition occurs more than one year after the date the shares are purchased. New SAIC is not entitled to a deduction for amounts taxed as ordinary income or capital gain to a participant except to the extent of ordinary income recognized by a participant upon a sale or disposition of shares prior to the expiration of the holding periods described above.

Accounting Treatment

 

Based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), which was adopted on February 1, 2006, New SAIC will recognize compensation expense in connection with the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. So long as New SAIC continues issuing shares under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan with a purchase price at a discount to the fair market value of its stock, New SAIC will recognize compensation expense which will be determined by the level of participation in the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the amount of the discount. However, in certain cases where the purchase price is greater than 95% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, there would be no compensation expense under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R).

 

TRANSACTION OF OTHER BUSINESS

 

The board of directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the special meeting. If any other matters properly come before the special meeting, it is the intention of the proxy holders named on the proxy to vote the shares they represent as the board of directors may recommend. Discretionary authority with respect to such other matters is granted by the delivery of a proxy.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements.” Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, particularly in “Risk Factors.”

 

Unless otherwise noted, references to years are for fiscal years ended January 31, not calendar years. For example, we refer to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 as “fiscal 2006.” We are currently in fiscal 2007.

 

Overview

 

We are a leading provider of scientific, engineering, systems integration and technical services and solutions to all branches of the U.S. military, agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense, the intelligence community, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other U.S. Government civil agencies, as well as to customers in selected commercial markets. Demand for our services is driven by priorities such as the ongoing war on terrorism and the transformation of the U.S. military. We have three reportable segments: Government, Commercial, and Corporate and Other. Except in “—Discontinued Operations,” all amounts in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are presented for our continuing operations only.

 

Government Segment. Through the Government segment, we provide systems engineering, systems integration and advanced technical services and solutions primarily to U.S. federal, state and local government agencies and foreign governments. Revenues from our Government segment accounted for 94% of our total consolidated revenues in fiscal 2006 and 2005 and 93% of our total consolidated revenues in fiscal 2004. Within the Government segment, substantially all of our revenues are derived from contracts with the U.S. Government. Revenues from contracts with the U.S. Government accounted for 89%, 86% and 85% of our total consolidated revenues in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These revenues include contracts where we serve as the prime or lead contractor, as well as contracts where we serve as a subcontractor to other parties who are engaged directly with various U.S. Government agencies as the prime contractor.

 

In the period since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, U.S. Government spending has increased in response to the global war on terror and efforts to transform the U.S. military. This increased spending has had a favorable impact on our business. Our results have also been favorably impacted by increased outsourcing of information technology (IT) and other technical services by the U.S. Government. However, these U.S. Government spending levels may not continue and future levels of spending and authorizations for these programs may decrease, remain constant or shift to programs in areas where we do not currently provide services. Such changes in spending authorizations and budgetary priorities could occur due to the significant relief and recovery costs associated with natural disasters, the rapid growth of the federal budget deficit, increasing political pressure to reduce overall levels of government spending or other factors. In addition, the U.S. Government conducted its Quadrennial Defense Review in government fiscal 2005 and 2006, the results of which may significantly affect future defense budgets and priorities, including programs from which we have and expect to derive a significant portion of our revenues.

 

Competition for contracts with the U.S. Government is intense. In addition, in recent years, the U.S. Government has increasingly used contracting processes that give it the ability to select multiple winners or pre-qualify certain contractors to provide various products or services at established general terms and conditions. Such processes include purchasing services and solutions using indefinite delivery / indefinite

quantity (IDIQ), government-wide acquisition contract (GWAC), and U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule contract vehicles. This trend has served to increase competition for U.S. Government contracts and increase pressure on the prices we charge for our services. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business” and “Business—Contracts.”

 

Commercial Segment. Through our Commercial segment, we primarily target commercial customers worldwide in selected commercial markets, which currently includes IT support for oil and gas exploration and production, applications and IT infrastructure management for utilities and data lifecycle management for pharmaceuticals. We provide our Commercial segment customers with systems integration and advanced technical services and solutions we have developed for the commercial marketplace, often based on expertise developed in serving our Government segment customers. Revenues from our Commercial segment accounted for 7% of our total consolidated revenues in each of fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004. Revenues from our Commercial segment are primarily driven by our customers’ desire to reduce their costs related to IT management and other complex technical functions by outsourcing to third-party contractors.

 

Corporate and Other Segment. Our Corporate and Other segment includes the operations of our broker-dealer subsidiary, Bull, Inc., our internal real estate management subsidiary, Campus Point Realty Corporation, and various corporate activities, including elimination of intersegment revenues. We expect that the operations of Bull, Inc. will cease if we complete the IPO. Our Corporate and Other segment does not contract with third parties for the purpose of generating revenues. However, for internal management reporting purposes, we record certain revenue and expense items incurred by the Government and Commercial segments in the Corporate and Other segment in certain circumstances as determined by our chief operating decision-maker (currently our Chief Executive Officer).

 

Key Financial Metrics

 

Sources of Revenues

 

Contracts. We generate revenues under the following types of contracts: (1) cost-reimbursement, (2) time-and-materials (T&M), (3) fixed price level-of-effort, (4) firm fixed-price (FFP) and (5) target cost and fee with risk sharing. Cost-reimbursement contracts provide for reimbursement of our direct costs and allocable indirect costs, plus a fee or profit component. T&M contracts typically provide for the payment of negotiated fixed hourly rates, which include allocable indirect costs and fees for labor hours plus reimbursement of our other direct costs. Fixed price level-of-effort contracts are substantially similar to T&M contracts except that the deliverable is the labor hours provided to the customer. FFP contracts provide for payments to us of a fixed price for specified products, systems and/or services. If actual costs vary from the FFP target costs, we can generate more or less than the targeted amount of profit or even incur a loss. Target cost and fee with risk sharing contracts provide for reimbursement of costs, plus a specified or target fee or profit, if our actual costs equal a negotiated target cost. Under these contracts, if our actual costs are less than the target costs, we receive a portion of the cost underrun as an additional fee or profit. If our actual costs exceed the target costs, our target fee and cost reimbursement are reduced by a portion of the cost overrun. We do not use target cost and fee with risk sharing contracts in our Government segment.

Table of Contents

We generate revenues under our contracts from (1) the efforts of our technical staff, which we refer to as labor-related revenues and (2) receipt of payments based on the costs of materials and subcontractors used in a project, which we refer to as M&S revenues. M&S revenues are generated primarily from large, multi-year systems integration contracts and contracts in our logistics and product support business area. If M&S revenues grow at a faster rate than our labor-related revenues, our overall profit margin could be impacted negatively because our M&S revenues generally have lower margins than our labor-related revenues.

The growth of our business is directly related to the receipt of contract awards, the ability to hire personnel to perform on service contracts and contract performance. In fiscal 2006, we derived more than $10 million in annual revenues from each of 106 contracts, compared to 91 and 66 contracts in fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. These larger contracts represented 38%, 35% and 31% of our total consolidated revenues in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We recognized more than $50 million in annual revenues from ten contracts in fiscal 2006, compared to nine and eight contracts in fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. The remainder of our revenues is derived from a large number of smaller contracts with annual revenues of less than $10 million.

 

We recognize revenues under our contracts primarily using the percentage-of-completion method. Under the percentage-of-completion method, revenues are recognized based on progress towards completion, with performance measured by the cost-to-cost method, efforts-expended method or units-of-delivery method, all of which require estimating total costs at completion. The contracting process used for procurement, including IDIQ, GWAC and GSA Schedule contract vehicles, does not determine revenue recognition. See “—Critical Accounting Policies.”

 

Backlog. Total consolidated negotiated backlog consists of funded backlog and negotiated unfunded backlog. Government segment funded backlog primarily represents the portion of backlog for which funding is appropriated and is payable to us upon completion of a specified portion of work, less revenues previously recognized on these contracts. Commercial segment funded backlog represents the full value on firm contracts, which may cover multiple future years, under which we are obligated to perform less revenues previously recognized on these contracts. Our funded backlog in the Government segment does not include the full potential value of our contracts because the U.S. Government and our other customers often appropriate or authorize funds for a particular program or contract on a yearly or quarterly basis, even though the contract may call for performance over a number of years. When a definitive contract or contract amendment is executed and funding has been appropriated or otherwise authorized, funded backlog is increased by the difference between the funded dollar value of the contract or contract amendment and the revenues recognized to date. Negotiated unfunded backlog represents (1) firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise authorized and (2) unexercised priced contract options. Negotiated unfunded backlog does not include any estimate of future potential task orders that might be awarded under IDIQ, GWAC or GSA Schedule contract vehicles.

We expect to recognize a substantial portion of our funded backlog as revenues within the next 12 months. However, the U.S. Government may cancel any contract or purchase order at any time. In addition, certain contracts and purchase orders in the Commercial segment may include provisions that allow the customer to cancel at any time. Most of our contracts have cancellation terms that would permit us to recover all or a portion of our incurred costs and potential fees in such cases. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We may not realize as revenues the full amounts reflected in our backlog, which could adversely affect our future revenues and growth prospects.”

 

Cost of Revenues and Operating Expenses

 

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues includes direct labor and related fringe benefits and direct expenses incurred to complete contracts and task orders. Cost of revenues also includes subcontract work, consultant fees, materials, depreciation, certain management information systems expenses and overhead. Overhead consists of indirect costs relating to operations, rent/facilities, administration, travel and other expenses.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses are primarily for corporate administrative functions, such as management, legal, finance and accounting, contracts and administration, human resources and certain management information systems expenses. SG&A also includes bid-and-proposal and independent research and development expenses.

 

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

 

Greek Contract. Our contract with the Hellenic Republic of Greece, or the Greek government (the Customer), as described in “—Commitments and Contingencies” has adversely impacted our results of operations and may continue to adversely impact our results of operations. While we recorded no loss on this contract during the three months ended April 30, 2006, we recorded $7 million in losses for the three months ended April 30, 2005 and have recorded $121 million in contract losses since the inception of this contract. In fiscal 2006, based on the results of activities conducted to review the omissions and deviations identified by the Customer and additional communication with the Customer, we recorded total contract losses of $83 million. This compares to contract losses of $34 million for fiscal 2005. This contract may continue to have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

Acquisitions. We acquire businesses in our key markets when opportunities arise. We completed one acquisition during the three months ended April 30, 2006 for a total purchase price of $16 million. During the three months ended April 30, 2005, we did not complete any acquisitions of businesses. We completed four acquisitions in fiscal 2006 for a total purchase price of $234 million. In fiscal 2005, we acquired four businesses for an aggregate purchase price of $236 million and in fiscal 2004, we acquired 10 businesses for an aggregate purchase price of $289 million. We expect the use of cash to acquire businesses will increase in the future. If we complete the IPO, we may also increase our use of capital stock as consideration for acquisitions since our shares will be publicly traded.

 

Dispositions. As part of our ongoing strategic planning, we have exited, and may in the future exit, certain businesses from time to time. During the three months ended April 30, 2006, we sold our 50% interest in our DS&S joint venture for $9 million. We have deferred recognition of any gain on sale of DS&S pending resolution of certain matters as described in “—Commitments and Contingencies—DS&S Joint Venture.” In March 2005, we sold Telcordia Technologies, Inc. (Telcordia) and recognized a gain before income taxes of $861 million during the three months ended April 30, 2005 and $871 million in fiscal 2006. This transaction is reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Prior to the sale, Telcordia’s revenues were 1%, 11% and 13% of our total consolidated revenues in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation. We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” on February 1, 2006. This Statement requires that we recognize as compensation expense the fair value of all stock-based awards, including stock options, granted to employees and others in exchange for services, typically over the period during which such awards are earned. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that we recognize as compensation expense the 15% discount on employee stock purchases made under our employee stock purchase plan (ESPP). SFAS No. 123(R) also requires that cash flows resulting from excess tax benefits be classified as financing cash flows instead of operating cash flows.

 

We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method for stock-based awards granted after September 1, 2005, the date New SAIC made its initial filing with the SEC for the IPO. Under this method, compensation expense associated with options granted between September 1, 2005 and January 31, 2006, valued at approximately $11 million, is recognized over their remaining vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. We continue to account for options granted prior to September 1, 2005 under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25. Accordingly, no compensation expense will be recognized for options granted prior to September 1, 2005 unless a modification is made to those options. This difference in accounting treatment is due to the fact that we met the definition of a non-public company under SFAS No. 123 and applied the minimum value method under SFAS No. 123 prior to September 1, 2005. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method was de minimus.

 

Except for use of the minimum value method, which assumed no stock volatility in our fair value calculations prior to September 1, 2005, there are no significant differences in the methodologies or assumptions used in estimating the fair value of our options under SFAS No. 123(R) from those used prior to adoption of the standard.

 

We recognize stock-based compensation expense on options and vesting stock awards using the straight-line method over the period the awards are earned. During the three months ended April 30, 2006, we recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $15 million, including $5 million associated with stock options, $7 million associated with vesting stock awards and $3 million associated with the ESPP. During the three months ended April 30, 2005, we recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $8 million associated with vesting stock awards. These amounts do not include amounts accrued under the Bonus Compensation Plan during the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005 as the amounts to be settled through issuance of vested stock are not known when the accruals are made. We issued $32 million and $39 million in vested stock during

 

83


Table of Contents

the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, as settlement of certain bonus and retirement plan amounts expensed during the respective prior years. As of April 30, 2006, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested portion of stock options (granted subsequent to September 1, 2005) and vesting stock awards was $170 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.3 years.

 

Changes When We Are a Public Company

 

There has been no public trading market for our common stock. However, Old SAIC has maintained a limited secondary market for its common stock, which we call the limited market, through its broker-dealer subsidiary, Bull, Inc. The limited market has enabled Old SAIC stockholders to submit offers to buy and sell Old SAIC common stock on predetermined trade dates. Although we were not contractually required to do so, on all trade dates for the periods presented, we have repurchased the excess of the number of shares offered for sale over the number of shares sought to be purchased in order to improve the liquidity of the shares held by Old SAIC stockholders. In the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, we repurchased $32 million and $244 million of Old SAIC common stock, respectively, and in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, we repurchased $818 million, $607 million and $451 million of Old SAIC common stock, respectively.

 

Because shares of new common stock will be publicly traded following the completion of the IPO and new class A preferred stock will be convertible into new common stock as the applicable transfer restriction periods lapse, we expect to cease repurchases of our stock from our stockholders through the limited market and wind up the operations of Bull, Inc. The last limited market trade occurred on June 30, 2006. If, however, the IPO is postponed, we intend to conduct a limited market trade at the same time as the retirement plans trades until the IPO process recommences. A retirement plans trade has been scheduled for October 27, 2006 and at least three additional retirement plans trade dates will be announced, at which time limited market trades also may be held if the IPO is postponed.

 

In these trades, participants may offer to buy or sell shares in accordance with the terms of the plans. In addition, we intend to conduct four scheduled trades for our retirement plans following completion of the IPO in which participants may offer to buy or sell shares in accordance with the terms of the plans. In all these trades, we will have the right, but not the obligation, to buy the net balance of shares, if any, offered by participants in our retirement plans. In addition, following the IPO, the retirement plans will have the opportunity to convert shares of new class A preferred stock into new common stock and sell those shares into the public market to the extent permissible under the transfer restrictions on the new class A preferred stock. These trades are intended to provide participants with liquidity to the extent permitted under the plans. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Historical Trends—Cash Used in Financing Activities of Continuing Operations.”

Revenues. Total consolidated revenues increased 6% for the three months ended April 30, 2006 compared to the same period of the prior year due to a combination of growth in revenues from our U.S. Government and commercial customers and growth through the acquisition of new businesses partially offset by a one-day decline in the number of work days in the three months ended April 30, 2006 compared to the same period of the prior year. This one-day decline in the number of work days adversely affected revenue growth by approximately 1.7 percentage points. Approximately three percentage points of the consolidated growth were a result of acquisitions while three percentage points were internal, or non-acquisition related, growth. We calculate internal growth by comparing our current period reported revenue to prior period revenue adjusted to include the revenue of acquired companies for the comparable prior period. Internal revenue growth in our business was directly related to the receipt of contract awards across a balance of our business areas and the ability to hire personnel to perform on service contracts.

Corporate and Other segment revenues

     3          (2 )        

 

The growth in our Government segment revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2006 was the result of growth in our traditional business areas with departments and agencies of the U.S. Government as well as through the acquisition of new businesses. Approximately three percentage points of the growth in the Government segment revenues was a result of acquisitions, while the remaining two percentage points represented internal growth. The internal growth in our Government segment revenues for the three months

Table of Contents

ended April 30, 2006 reflects an increase in contract volume due to higher contract awards from the U.S. Government and increased spending by our customers, particularly in our business areas providing services to the Department of Defense.

 

The growth in our Commercial segment revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2006 relates to internal growth and was attributable principally to higher revenues from our systems integration and domestic outsourcing business areas.

 

The Corporate and Other segment revenues include the elimination of intersegment revenues of $2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2005. There were no intersegment revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2006. The remaining balance for each of the periods represents the net effect of various revenue items related to operating business units that are excluded from the evaluation of a business unit’s operating performance in the Government or Commercial segment and instead are reflected in the Corporate and Other segment.

 

The following table presents our consolidated revenues on the basis of how such revenues were earned for the periods noted:

     (dollars in millions)

Labor-related

   $ 1,289    8 %   $ 1,199

M&S

     669    3       647

 

The increases in labor-related revenues are attributable to acquisitions, greater employee utilization and overall increases in our technical staff. We had approximately 43,300 full-time and part-time employees at April 30, 2006 compared to 42,500 at April 30, 2005. Growth in M&S revenues as a percentage of total revenues slowed slightly during the three months ended April 30, 2006 primarily due to differences in the timing of work performed or delivery of materials under several contracts with M&S activity in each period.

 

Cost of Revenues. The following table summarizes cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues for the periods noted:

Segment cost of revenues as a percentage of segment revenues:

            

Government segment

Total consolidated cost of revenues increased $72 million, or 4%, on an absolute basis but declined as a percentage of total consolidated revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2006 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2005. This improvement as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to greater direct labor utilization during the three months ended April 30, 2006. In addition, we recorded no loss on the Greek contract during the three months ended April 30, 2006 compared to losses of $7 million for the same period of the prior year. Total consolidated cost of revenues as a percentage of total consolidated revenues includes a portion of the Corporate and Other segment operating loss as described in “—Segment Operating Income.”

Government segment cost of revenues increased by $60 million, or 4%, on an absolute basis but decreased as a percentage of segment revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2006 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2005, primarily due to greater direct labor utilization during the three months ended April 30, 2006. In addition, we recorded no loss on the Greek contract during the three months ended April 30, 2006 compared to losses of $7 million for the same period of the prior year.

 

Commercial segment cost of revenues increased by $7 million, or 7%, on an absolute basis and decreased as a percentage of segment revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2006, primarily reflecting improved contract margins and greater direct labor utilization.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The following table summarizes SG&A as a percentage of revenues for the periods noted:

Total consolidated SG&A increased $9 million, or 8%, on an absolute basis for the three months ended April 30, 2006 compared to the same period of the prior year.

 

Government segment SG&A increased $5 million, or 6%, on an absolute basis for the three months ended April 30, 2006 compared to the same period of the prior year. This includes increases in Government segment G&A costs of $6 million and a decrease in Government segment bid-and-proposal costs of $1 million. The level of bid-and-proposal activities fluctuates depending on the timing of bidding opportunities. Government segment independent research and development costs have remained relatively consistent as a percentage of segment revenues.

 

Commercial segment SG&A expenses during the three months ended April 30, 2006 remained consistent with the same period of the prior year.

 

Corporate and Other segment SG&A expenses increased $4 million, or 41%, during the three months ended April 30, 2006 compared to the same period of the prior year due primarily to the expensing of stock options under SFAS No. 123(R), which was adopted on February 1, 2006.

 

Segment Operating Income. We use segment operating income (SOI) as our internal measure of operating performance. It is calculated as operating income before income taxes less losses on impaired intangible and goodwill assets, less non-recurring gains or losses on sales of business units, subsidiary stock and similar items, plus equity in the income or loss of unconsolidated affiliates, and minority interest in income or loss of consolidated subsidiaries. We use SOI as our internal performance measure because we believe it provides a comprehensive view of our ongoing business operations and is therefore useful in understanding our operating results. Unlike operating income, SOI includes only our ownership interest in income or loss from our majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries and our partially-owned unconsolidated affiliates. In addition, SOI excludes the effects of transactions that are not part of on-going operations such as gains or losses from the sale of business units or other operating assets as well as investment activities of our subsidiary, SAIC Venture Capital Corporation.

In accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” the reconciliation of total reportable SOI of $142 million and $110 million, respectively, to consolidated operating income of $143 million and $112 million, respectively, for the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, is shown in Note 2 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended April 30, 2006.

The increase in total reportable SOI for the three months ended April 30, 2006 primarily reflects higher contract volume and greater direct labor utilization. In addition, we recorded no loss on the Greek contract during the three months ended April 30, 2006 compared to losses of $7 million for the same period of the prior year.

 

The increase in Government segment SOI for the three months ended April 30, 2006 primarily reflects higher contract volume and greater direct labor utilization.

The increase in Commercial segment SOI reflects higher contract volume, improved contract margins and greater direct labor utilization.

 

Corporate and Other segment operating loss for the three months ended April 30, 2006 remained consistent with the three months ended April 30, 2005.

 

Other Income Statement Items

 

Interest Income and Interest Expense. Interest income increased by $10 million or 53% for the three months ended April 30, 2006 compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to higher interest rates in the three months ended April 30, 2006 as compared to the same period of the prior year.

 

Interest expense reflects interest on (1) our outstanding debt securities, (2) a building mortgage, (3) deferred compensation arrangements and (4) notes payable. Interest expense remained consistent for the three months ended April 30, 2006 compared to the same period of the prior year, as our debt instruments have fixed interest rates and there was no significant change in the underlying debt balances.

 

Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income (expense), net includes our equity interest in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2006 and other-than-temporary impairment losses on marketable securities and other investments of $2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2005.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes was 36.8% and 47.6% for the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2006 was partially due to the reversal of $7 million in tax expense accruals for tax contingencies as a result of settlements of federal and state audits and audit issues for amounts different than the recorded accruals for tax contingencies. The higher tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2005 was due to an increase in tax expense of $9 million related to a change in state tax law during the three months ended April 30, 2005.

 

We are subject to routine compliance reviews by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other taxing jurisdictions on various tax matters, which may include challenges to various tax positions we have taken. We have recorded liabilities for tax contingencies for open years based upon our best estimate of the taxes ultimately to be paid. As of April 30, 2006, our income taxes payable balance included $58 million of tax expense accruals that have been recorded for tax contingencies. We are currently undergoing several routine IRS and other tax jurisdiction examinations. While we believe we have adequate accruals for tax contingencies, there is no assurance that the tax authorities will not assert that we owe taxes in excess of our accruals, or that our accruals will not be in excess of the final amounts agreed to by tax authorities.

 

We anticipate the payment of the special dividend to Old SAIC stockholders, including the SAIC Retirement Plan, upon completion of the IPO. We believe the dividend payable on our common stock held by the SAIC Retirement Plan may be deductible for tax purposes in the year of payment and have requested rulings from the IRS to confirm deductibility. Accordingly, if we pay a dividend in connection with the IPO contemplated in the Fall of 2006 and favorable rulings are received, we expect a significant reduction in our tax liability.

 

Income from Continuing Operations. Income from continuing operations increased $39 million, or 71%, for the three months ended April 30, 2006 compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to increased operating income of $31 million, increased interest income of $10 million and a lower effective tax rate described above.

 

Discontinued Operations. We sold one of our subsidiaries, Telcordia, for $1.35 billion and recorded a gain of $861 million during the three months ended April 30, 2005. An income tax benefit of $12 million was recorded during the three months ended April 30, 2006 to reflect the resolution of certain tax contingencies related to Telcordia operations prior to the sale.

 

The operating results of Telcordia, which have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented, were as follows:

these matters could differ from the amounts accrued. We also have customary indemnification obligations owing to the buyer, as well as an obligation to indemnify the buyer for any loss Telcordia may incur as a result of an adverse judgment in the Telkom South Africa litigation. We are also entitled to receive additional amounts as contingent sale price, including all of the net proceeds from any judgment or settlement of the litigation Telcordia initiated against Telkom South Africa and 50% of the net proceeds received in connection with the prosecution of certain patent rights of Telcordia as discussed in “—Commitments and Contingencies.” All these future contingent payments or contingent purchase price proceeds and changes in our estimates of these items and other related Telcordia items will continue to be reflected as discontinued operations and result in adjustments to the gain on sale in the period in which they arise.

 

Net Income. Net income decreased $479 million, or 82%, for the three months ended April 30, 2006 compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to the after-tax gain of $530 million on the sale of Telcordia during the three months ended April 30, 2005.

Revenues. Total consolidated revenues increased 8% and 23% in fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, due to a combination of growth in revenues from our U.S. Government customers as well as growth through the acquisition of new businesses. Approximately five percentage points of the consolidated fiscal 2006 growth was a result of acquisitions, compared to six percentage points of the fiscal 2005 growth. Consolidated internal, or non-acquisition related, growth was three percentage points in fiscal 2006 as compared with 17 percentage points in fiscal 2005. We calculate internal growth by comparing our current period reported revenue to prior period revenue adjusted to include the revenue of acquired companies for the prior periods comparable to those for which they are included in the current period’s revenue.

 

The strong internal growth in fiscal 2005 was due primarily to increased work on several large systems integration and engineering programs with our U.S. Government customers that included significant M&S efforts. These large systems and engineering programs had relatively high revenues in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2006. Additional growth was achieved through higher revenues from the sale to our commercial customers of security systems used to protect ports, cargo terminals and containers.

The growth in our Government segment revenues for fiscal 2006 was the result of growth in our traditional business areas’ revenues from departments and agencies of the U.S. Government as well as growth through the acquisition of new businesses. Approximately five percentage points of the fiscal 2006 growth in the Government segment revenues was a result of acquisitions made in fiscal 2006, while the remaining three percentage points represented internal growth. This compares to six percentage points of acquisition-related growth versus 18 percentage points of internal growth for fiscal 2005. The internal growth in our Government segment revenues in fiscal 2006 and 2005 reflects an increase in contract awards from the U.S. Government and increased budgets of our customers, particularly in our business areas providing services to the Department of Defense. Revenue growth declined in fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005 due to several large systems integration, engineering and M&S programs, which had relatively high revenues in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2006, and funding delays in the homeland security and defense business area and our naval maintenance engineering and technical support services area.

 

The percentage of total consolidated revenues from U.S. Government customers representing greater than 10% of our total consolidated revenues were as follows:

Fiscal 2006 Commercial segment revenues remained relatively consistent with fiscal 2005 revenues. The increase in our Commercial segment revenues in fiscal 2005 was attributable principally to higher revenues from the sale of security systems used to protect ports, cargo terminals and containers, including revenues from a Canadian security system business acquired late in fiscal 2004. In fiscal 2005, four percentage points of the increase in revenues was attributable to exchange rate changes between the U.S. dollar and the British pound, which caused a relatively constant level of local U.K. revenues to be translated into a higher level of U.S. dollars. Revenues from our U.K. subsidiary represented 32%, 31% and 33% of the Commercial segment revenues in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

The Corporate and Other segment includes the elimination of intersegment revenues of $3 million, $45 million and $25 million in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The remaining balance for each of the years represents the net effect of various revenue items related to operating business units that are excluded from the evaluation of a business unit’s operating performance in the Government or Commercial segment and instead are reflected in the Corporate and Other segment.

M&S

     2,912    13       2,584    39       1,856

 

The increases in labor-related revenues are attributable to greater employee utilization and overall increases in our technical staff. At the end of fiscal 2006, we had approximately 43,600 full-time and part-time employees compared to 42,400 and 39,300 at the end of fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in M&S revenues in fiscal 2006 is primarily related to the overall growth and acquisitions in the logistics and product support business areas and, in fiscal 2005, certain systems engineering and integration contracts in the Government segment that had significant quantities of materials that were delivered and integrated.

 

Cost of Revenues. The following table summarizes cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues for the periods noted:

Government segment

   88.3     87.9     87.1  

Commercial segment

   74.2     75.5     75.3  

 

Total consolidated cost of revenues as a percentage of total consolidated revenues decreased slightly in fiscal 2006 as compared with fiscal 2005 and reflected the following factors: (1) improved contract margins, greater direct labor utilization and lower employee fringe benefit expenses related to changes in our retirement and bonus compensation plans, which decreased cost of revenues as a percentage of total consolidated revenues, and (2) the adverse impact of Greek contract losses of $83 million, which increased cost of revenues as a percentage of total consolidated revenues. During fiscal 2006, in part to encourage employee retention, we decided to provide a higher portion of our bonus compensation plan awards in the form of vesting stock as compared to vested stock. Vesting stock bonus expense is recognized over the period in which the employee provides service, generally four years. This decision had the effect of reducing the estimated bonus compensation expense by approximately $10 million in fiscal 2006 compared to the expense that would have been recognized for a fully vested stock and cash bonus. Total consolidated cost of revenues as a percentage of total consolidated revenues includes a portion of the Corporate and Other segment operating loss as described in “—Segment Operating Income.”

 

Government segment cost of revenues increased by $515 million, or 9%, on an absolute basis and as a percentage of segment revenues in fiscal 2006 primarily due to the $83 million Greek contract losses, partially offset by improved contract margins in the remainder of the segment and greater direct labor utilization. Government segment cost of revenues increased $1.2 billion, or 25%, on an absolute basis and as a percentage of segment revenues in fiscal 2005 primarily due to Greek contract losses of $34 million and lower margins realized on the higher level of M&S revenues in fiscal 2005 as compared with fiscal 2004.

 

Commercial segment cost of revenues increased by $2 million, or 1%, on an absolute basis and decreased as a percentage of segment revenues in fiscal 2006, primarily reflecting improved contract margins. Commercial

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The following table summarizes SG&A as a percentage of revenues for the periods noted:

Total consolidated SG&A as a percentage of total consolidated revenues

Segment SG&A as a percentage of segment revenues:

                  

Government segment

   4.8     4.2     4.7  

Commercial segment

   17.3     16.1     18.1  

 

Total consolidated SG&A increased $76 million, or 18%, in fiscal 2006 and $40 million, or 11%, in fiscal 2005 on an absolute basis. SG&A increased in fiscal 2006 primarily due to increasing IT and other infrastructure expenditures in support of current and anticipated future growth, including $9 million in IPO related costs which were expensed due to the postponement of the IPO. Additionally, we incurred a higher amount of amortization expense on intangible assets due to our increased volume of acquisitions. During fiscal 2006, we reversed a previously accrued expense of $10 million related to a class action lawsuit that was dismissed by plaintiffs without prejudice in September 2005. This reversal is reflected in the Corporate and Other segment. SG&A decreased as a percentage of total consolidated revenues in fiscal 2005 due to the factors noted below for our Government and Commercial segments and an $18 million gain on the sale of land and buildings reflected in our Corporate and Other segment.

 

Government segment SG&A increased $64 million, or 22%, in fiscal 2006 and $34 million, or 14%, in fiscal 2005 on an absolute basis. Government segment SG&A increased as a percentage of revenues in fiscal 2006 primarily due to increasing IT and other infrastructure expenditures in support of current and anticipated future growth. We expect to maintain this higher level of expense throughout fiscal 2007. Additionally, we incurred a higher amount of amortization expense on intangible assets due to our increased volume of acquisitions, primarily in our Government segment. Government segment SG&A decreased as a percentage of segment revenues in fiscal 2005 primarily because revenues grew more quickly than our SG&A expenses during fiscal 2005. During fiscal 2004, we recorded workforce reduction and realignment charges of $8 million stemming from efforts to reorganize and streamline some of our operations to better align ourselves with major customers and key markets.

 

Government segment G&A costs increased $56 million, or 29%, in fiscal 2006 as compared with fiscal 2005. As a percentage of segment revenues, G&A costs were 3.4% in fiscal 2006 compared to 2.8% in fiscal 2005. Bid-and-proposal costs increased $6 million, or 8%, on an absolute basis in fiscal 2006 compared to the prior year. The level of bid-and-proposal activities fluctuates depending on the timing of bidding opportunities. Government segment independent research and development costs have remained relatively consistent as a percentage of segment revenues.

 

Commercial segment SG&A increased $8 million, or 10%, in fiscal 2006 and $8 million or 11% in fiscal 2005 primarily due to an increase in headcount and other infrastructure expenditures. Commercial segment SG&A decreased as a percentage of segment revenues in fiscal 2005 primarily because revenue grew more quickly than our SG&A expenses in that year.

 

Segment Operating Income. We use segment operating income (SOI) as our internal measure of operating performance. It is calculated as operating income before income taxes less losses on impaired intangible and goodwill assets, less non-recurring gains or losses on sales of business units, subsidiary stock and similar items,

 

93


Table of Contents

plus equity in the income or loss of unconsolidated affiliates, and minority interest in income or loss of consolidated subsidiaries. We use SOI as our internal performance measure because we believe it provides a comprehensive view of our ongoing business operations and is therefore useful in understanding our operating results. Unlike operating income, SOI includes only our ownership interest in income or loss from our majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries and our partially-owned unconsolidated affiliates. In addition, SOI excludes the effects of transactions that are not part of on-going operations, such as gains or losses from the sale of business units or other operating assets and investment activities of our subsidiary, SAIC Venture Capital Corporation. Effective in fiscal 2006, we no longer allocate an internal interest charge or credit to our operating segments as a measure of their effective management of operating capital.

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 131, for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, the reconciliation of total reportable SOI of $491 million, $470 million and $401 million, respectively, to consolidated operating income of $497 million, $488 million and $395 million, respectively, is shown in Note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2006.

 

The following table, with prior year information reclassified for the internal interest change noted above, summarizes changes in SOI on an absolute basis and as a percentage of related revenues:

The fiscal 2006 increase in total reportable SOI primarily reflects decreased operating loss within the Corporate and Other segment and improved contract margins and greater direct labor utilization in the Government segment, partially offset by the Greek contract losses of $83 million and increases in SG&A expenses. The fiscal 2005 increase in total reportable SOI primarily reflects our overall revenue growth and lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues.

 

The fiscal 2006 decrease in Government SOI primarily reflects losses of $83 million on our Greek contract and an increase in SG&A caused by higher spending on our IT and other infrastructure areas and higher bid-and-proposal costs. Partially offsetting the impact of the Greek contract losses were improved contract margins with respect to other contracts in the Government segment and greater direct labor utilization. The fiscal 2005 increase in Government SOI, on an absolute basis, reflects the increase in segment revenues and lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues. However, the fiscal 2005 decrease in Government SOI as a percentage of segment revenues reflects lower margins earned on the higher level of M&S revenues and losses on the Greek contract of $34 million.

 

Growth in commercial segment revenues during fiscal 2006 was not sufficient to cover increases in Commercial segment cost of revenues and SG&A expenses. The fiscal 2005 increase in our Commercial SOI, on an absolute basis and as percentage of revenues, was primarily attributable to growth in revenues and improved contract margins which more than offset increases in SG&A expenses in fiscal 2005.

 

The decrease in our fiscal 2006 Corporate and Other segment operating loss was primarily due to lower intersegment revenue eliminations of $42 million, lower accrued fringe benefit expenses related to our retirement

and bonus compensation plans for employees in all segments and the reversal to income of an accrued expense recorded in fiscal 2005 of $10 million related to a class action lawsuit that was dismissed by plaintiffs without prejudice in fiscal 2006. These fiscal 2006 declines were partially offset by increases in IT and other infrastructure expenditures in support of current and anticipated growth. The increase in our fiscal 2005 Corporate and Other segment operating loss was primarily related to higher unallocated accrued incentive compensation costs as a result of improved SOI in our Government segment and an increase in certain revenue and expense items recorded within Corporate and Other and excluded from other segments’ operating performance as well as $10 million related to the class action lawsuit described above. Partially offsetting the fiscal 2005 increase in Corporate and Other segment operating loss is an $18 million gain on the sale of land and buildings at two different locations.

 

Other Income Statement Items

 

Net (Loss) Gain on Marketable Securities and Other Investments, Including Impairment Losses. Net loss on marketable securities and other investments, including impairment losses, reflects gains or losses and other-than-temporary impairment losses on our investments that are accounted for as marketable equity or debt securities or as cost method investments and are part of non-operating income or expense. Due to the non-routine nature of the transactions that are recorded in this financial statement line item, significant fluctuations from year to year are not unusual.

Substantially all of the impairment losses in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 were related to our private equity securities. The carrying value of our private equity securities as of January 31, 2006 was $38 million. The gross realized losses on the sale of investments in fiscal 2006 were primarily due to the liquidation of fixed rate securities prior to their stated maturities to achieve greater liquidity. The market value of these securities has recently been negatively impacted by rising interest rates.

 

The net gain on sale of investments in fiscal 2004 was primarily from the sale of our investment in publicly-traded equity securities of Tellium, Inc., which resulted in a gain before income taxes of $17 million.

 

Goodwill Impairment. We did not record any impairment of goodwill during fiscal 2006 or 2005. During fiscal 2004, as a result of the loss of certain significant contracts and proposals related to a reporting unit, we determined that goodwill assigned to that reporting unit had become impaired and we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $7 million. Impairment losses on intangible assets were not material in fiscal 2006 and 2005. There were no intangible asset impairments in fiscal 2004.

 

Interest Income and Interest Expense. Interest income increased by $52 million or 116% and decreased $4 million or 8% in fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. During fiscal 2006, average interest rates increased significantly and our average cash balances increased over fiscal 2005. During fiscal 2005, average interest rates

Table of Contents

increased slightly while our average cash balances remained consistent with 2004 levels. In fiscal 2004, interest income increased primarily as a result of interest received from a favorable audit settlement with the IRS for a refund of research tax credits.

 

Interest expense reflects interest on (1) our outstanding debt securities, (2) a building mortgage, (3) deferred compensation arrangements and (4) notes payable. Interest expense remained consistent in fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005. Interest expense increased $8 million in fiscal 2005 primarily as a result of interest on $300 million aggregate amount of our 5.5% notes that were issued in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 and outstanding for a full year in fiscal 2005.

 

As more fully described in “—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and Note 8 of the notes to consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2006, we are currently exposed to interest rate risks, foreign currency risks and equity price risks that are inherent in the financial instruments arising from transactions entered into in the normal course of business. We will from time to time use derivative instruments to manage this risk. The derivative instruments we currently hold have not had a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Net losses from derivative instruments in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 were not material.

 

Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) includes our equity interest in the earnings (loss) and other-than-temporary impairment losses on equity method investees.

In fiscal 2005, an impairment loss of $9 million on our investment in Data Systems & Solutions, LLC (DS&S), was recorded primarily due to a significant business downturn at DS&S caused by a loss of business and an ongoing government investigation. On March 24, 2006, we sold our 50% interest in DS&S to our joint venture partner for approximately $9 million. Our financial commitments related to DS&S are described in “—Commitments and Contingencies.”

 

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes was 28.7% in fiscal 2006, 32.5% in fiscal 2005 and 38.4% in fiscal 2004. The lower effective tax rate for fiscal 2006 was primarily due to the reversal of approximately $50 million in accruals for tax contingencies as a result of settlements of federal and state audits and audit issues for amounts different than the recorded accruals for tax contingencies, as well as the expiration of statutes on open tax years. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2005 was lower than in fiscal 2004 primarily as a result of the favorable closure of state tax audit matters.

 

We are subject to routine compliance reviews by the IRS and other taxing jurisdictions on various tax matters, which may include challenges to various tax positions we have taken. We have recorded liabilities for tax contingencies for open years based upon our best estimate of the taxes ultimately to be paid. As of January 31, 2006, our income taxes payable balance included $113 million of tax accruals that have been recorded for tax contingencies. The income taxes payable balance is reduced by deposits made with various tax authorities for anticipated tax payments due on prior tax periods. We are currently undergoing several routine

Table of Contents

IRS and other tax jurisdiction examinations. While we believe we have adequate accruals for tax contingencies, there is no assurance that the tax authorities will not assert that we owe taxes in excess of our accruals, or that our accruals will not be in excess of the final amounts agreed to by tax authorities.

 

Income from Continuing Operations. Income from continuing operations increased $73 million or 27% in fiscal 2006 primarily due to increased interest income of $52 million, other income from our equity investments, and a lower fiscal 2006 effective tax rate described above. Offsetting the decrease in non-operating expense are the contract losses we recorded related to our Greek contract. These contract losses more than offset the increases in the Government SOI from our improved contract margins on other contracts and higher direct labor utilization. Income from continuing operations increased $48 million in fiscal 2005 or 21% over fiscal 2004. The increase in fiscal 2005 was primarily due to the growth in total consolidated revenues with lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of total consolidated revenues and the lower income tax rate as described above. Offsetting some of the favorable increase in income was an increase in cost of revenues and in net interest expense, which is interest income less interest expense, an impairment loss on our DS&S equity investment, and lower gains from the sale of investments in marketable securities or our private equity securities as described above.

 

Discontinued Operations. We sold one of our subsidiaries, Telcordia Technologies, Inc., during fiscal 2006. The following table summarizes Telcordia’s operating results for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, which for fiscal 2006 reflects the period of February 1, 2005 through March 14, 2005 (prior to the sale):

After the sale of Telcordia, an income tax benefit of $32 million related to discontinued operations was recorded to reflect the resolution of certain tax contingencies of Telcordia’s operations prior to the sale. We have indemnified the buyer for all income tax obligations on and through the closing date of the transaction. While we believe we have appropriate accruals for these tax contingencies, the ultimate resolution of these matters could differ from the amounts accrued.

 

We also have customary indemnification obligations owing to the buyer, as well as an obligation to indemnify the buyer against any loss Telcordia may incur as a result of an adverse judgment in the Telkom South Africa litigation. All these future contingent payments or contingent purchase price proceeds and changes in our estimates of these items and other related Telcordia items will continue to be reflected as discontinued operations and result in adjustments to the gain on sale in the period in which they arise.

 

Net Income. Net income increased $518 million or 127% in fiscal 2006 primarily due to the after-tax gain of $546 million on the sale of Telcordia. Net income in fiscal 2005 increased $58 million or 17% over fiscal 2004, primarily due to the increase in income from continuing operations described above and an increase of $6 million in income from discontinued operations of INTESA.

Selected Quarterly Financial Data

 

The following tables set forth our selected unaudited quarterly consolidated financial data for fiscal 2006 and 2005 and for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The information for each of these quarters has been derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state our results of operations for the periods presented. These quarterly operating results are not necessarily indicative of our operating results for any future period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We financed our operations from our inception in 1969 primarily through cash flow from operations, proceeds from the sale of investments, issuance of debt securities and our credit facilities. Following the IPO and

the payment of the special dividend, our principal sources of liquidity will be cash flow from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, and our principal uses of cash will be for operating expenses, capital expenditures, working capital requirements, possible acquisitions and equity investments, debt service requirements and repurchases of class A preferred stock from our retirement plans during the restriction periods in order to provide participants in those plans with liquidity to the extent permitted under the plans. Whether or not we complete the IPO, we anticipate that our operating cash flow, existing cash, cash equivalents and borrowing capacity under our new credit facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

 

Historical Trends

 

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in marketable securities totaled $2.7 billion at April 30, 2006 and January 31, 2006.

 

Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities of Continuing Operations. We generated cash flows from operating activities of $81 million for the three months ended April 30, 2006 and used $6 million for the three months ended April 30, 2005. The improvement in cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2006 is primarily due to a $39 million increase in income from continuing operations and the settlement of certain tax contingencies for the three months ended April 30, 2006 as compared to the same period of the prior year.

 

In fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, we generated cash flows from operating activities of $595 million, $588 million and $374 million, respectively. Factors impacting cash flows in fiscal 2006 were higher income from continuing operations and a lower investment in receivables as a result of improvements in our working capital management processes partially offset by an increase in tax payments, including deposits made with various tax authorities for anticipated tax payments due on prior tax periods.

 

Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities of Continuing Operations. We generated cash flows from investing activities of $1.6 billion for the three months ended April 30, 2006 due to the liquidation of our investments in marketable securities, in part, to prepare for the expected payment of a dividend in connection with the IPO. We also used $18 million for property, plant and equipment and $14 million (net of cash acquired of $1 million) to acquire one business in our Government segment during the three months ended April 30, 2006. We did not complete any business acquisitions in the three months ended April 30, 2005. We used $33 million in cash in support of investing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2005, including payments of $11 million for property, plant and equipment and $12 million for the settlement of certain contingencies associated with previous business acquisitions. Acquisitions are part of our overall growth strategy.

 

We used cash of $583 million, $345 million and $468 million for investing activities in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in use of cash for 2006 was primarily due to purchases of debt and equity securities that are managed by outside investment managers and the acquisition of four businesses. The primary source of cash to fund these purchases was the proceeds from the sale of Telcordia, which was reflected as cash from investing activities of discontinued operations. In fiscal 2005, we used less cash for investing activities because we did not purchase any land or buildings as we did in fiscal 2004, and our purchases of debt and equity securities, net of proceeds from sales of investments, decreased compared to fiscal 2004. In fiscal 2004, we used cash to purchase land and buildings in McLean, Virginia that had previously been leased. In each of fiscal 2006 and 2005, we used $212 million to acquire four businesses for our Government segment. In fiscal 2004, we used cash of $193 million to acquire eight businesses for our Government segment and two businesses for our Commercial segment. All of these acquisitions were part of our overall growth strategy.

Cash Used in Financing Activities of Continuing Operations. We used cash of $37 million and $238 million for financing activities during the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and used cash of $713 million, $478 million and $26 million in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, primarily for repurchases of Old SAIC common stock. Fiscal 2004 uses of cash for financing activities were offset by net proceeds from a debt offering in June 2003. The use of cash resources to repurchase shares of Old SAIC common stock limits our ability to use that cash for other purposes. Old SAIC common stock repurchase activities were as follows for the periods noted:

We have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase stock in the limited market, to the extent that total planned sales exceed total planned purchases. The decrease in repurchases from the limited market trades and retirement plans during the three months ended April 30, 2006 compared to the same period of the prior year is primarily due to the fact that there were no limited market stock trades or retirement plans trades during the three months ended April 30, 2006. A retirement plans trade was held on May 12, 2006 and both a limited market trade and a retirement plans trade were held on June 30, 2006. The decrease in repurchases upon employee terminations is due to the fact that since September 1, 2005, we have suspended repurchasing shares upon termination of employment pending completion of the proposed merger and IPO. The increase in repurchases in fiscal 2006 and 2005 was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of shares offered for sale relative to the number of shares sought to be purchased, in addition to increases in share price. Included in the fiscal 2005 shares offered for sale were approximately 1.5 million shares sold by our founder and former chairman who retired in fiscal 2005. The increase in repurchases from the retirement plans in fiscal 2006 is primarily due to repurchases of $106 million from the Telcordia 401(k) Plan and repurchase of $122 million from the SAIC Retirement Plan. As a result of the sale of Telcordia, Old SAIC common stock is no longer an investment choice for future contributions in the Telcordia 401(k) Plan. As of April 30, 2006, the Telcordia 401(k) Plan held approximately 3.5 million shares of class A common stock, which had a fair value of $156 million. We no longer have a right of repurchase under the terms of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the shares of our common stock held by the Telcordia 401(k) Plan or any other contractual right to repurchase these shares. However, we agreed with Telcordia to provide an opportunity for the Telcordia 401(k) Plan to sell shares of class A common stock in any trade in which our retirement plans have such an opportunity prior to completion of the IPO. Further, we agreed that if the IPO is completed, the Telcordia 401(k) Plan will have the same opportunity to sell shares of new class A preferred stock as other stockholders generally, but will not have the opportunity to sell such shares in any additional opportunities provided to our retirement plans that are not otherwise provided to other stockholders generally.

 

Repurchases of our shares reduce the amount of retained earnings in the stockholders’ equity section of our consolidated balance sheets. If we continue to repurchase our shares in excess of our cumulative earnings, our retained earnings will be reduced, which could result in an accumulated deficit within our stockholders’ equity.

 

Cash from Discontinued Operations. There were no material cash flows of discontinued operations for the three months ended April 30, 2006. During the three months ended April 30, 2005, we generated cash proceeds

 

100


Table of Contents

of $1.1 billion from the sale of Telcordia. In fiscal 2006, we used $319 million of cash in the operating activities of our Telcordia discontinued operations, primarily for income tax payments related to the sale of Telcordia, and we generated cash of $1.1 billion from investing activities, representing the net cash proceeds from the sale of Telcordia.

 

Outstanding Indebtedness

 

Notes payable and long-term debt totaled $1.2 billion at April 30, 2006 and January 31, 2006 with debt maturities between calendar 2008 and 2033. In addition to our long-term debt, we have a new credit facility totaling $750 million. If the merger is approved by Old SAIC stockholders, shortly before the completion of the merger, New SAIC intends to guarantee approximately $1.2 billion of Old SAIC’s notes payable and long-term debt obligations in addition to Old SAIC’s credit facility.

 

Notes Payable and Long-term Debt. Our outstanding notes payable and long-term debt consisted of the following as of the dates noted:

During the three months ended April 30, 2006, our 55% owned joint venture, AMSEC LLC, repaid its 3-year term note that was scheduled to mature in December 2006.

 

All of the long-term notes described above contain customary restrictive covenants, including, among other things, restrictions on our ability to create liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions. We were in compliance with such covenants as of April 30, 2006. Our other notes payable have interest rates from 3.1% to 6.0% and are due on various dates through 2016. For additional information on our notes payable and long-term debt, see Note 13 of the notes to consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2006.

 

Revolving Credit Facilities. As of April 30, 2006, we had two revolving five-year credit facilities providing for an aggregate $750 million in unsecured borrowing capacity at interest rates determined, at our option, based on either LIBOR plus a margin or a defined base rate. As of April 30, 2006, no loans were outstanding, although our borrowing capacity was reduced by $113 million to secure standby letters of credit issued in connection with bonding requirements that we have under the Greek contract. The terms of the standby letters of credit require them to remain outstanding until the customer has formally accepted the system pursuant to the contract. We are in dispute with the customer on this contract as described in “—Commitments and Contingencies—Firm Fixed-Price Contract with the Greek Government.”

 

These facilities contained various customary restrictive covenants, including financial covenants. As of April 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all covenants under the credit facilities.

 

101


Table of Contents

In June 2006, we terminated and replaced these credit facilities with a new credit facility that provides for borrowings of up to $750 million through 2011. The new facility’s terms and conditions are generally more favorable to us and are structured to facilitate the IPO and the payment of the special dividend if New SAIC guarantees the new facility. Borrowings under this new facility are unsecured and bear interest at a rate determined, at our option, based on either LIBOR plus a margin or a defined base rate. We have transitioned the standby letters of credit issued in connection with the Greek contract to this new credit facility.

 

The new credit facility contains certain customary representations and warranties, as well as certain affirmative and negative covenants, including the following two financial covenants: (i) a ratio of consolidated funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) that requires us to maintain a ratio of consolidated funded debt to EBITDA of not more than 3.0 to 1.0 for each trailing four fiscal quarters beginning with the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006; and (ii) an interest coverage ratio that requires us to maintain a ratio of EBITDA to interest expense of greater than 3.5 to 1.0 for the same period. As of the most recent fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2006, we would have been in compliance with these financial covenants if the new credit facility had been in place at that time.

 

Cash Flow Expectations for Fiscal 2007

 

Assuming we complete the IPO, we expect the proceeds from the IPO to be a significant cash inflow for fiscal 2007 and the payment of a special dividend to be a significant use of cash for fiscal 2007. We expect to make approximately $80 million to $120 million of capital expenditures in fiscal 2007.

 

In contemplation of the IPO, the last limited market trade occurred in June 2006. For our retirement plans, we held May 2006 and June 2006 trades to permit participants to offer to buy or sell shares in accordance with the terms of those plans. In addition, in connection with the June 2006 retirement plans trade, we provided our retirement plan participants with an opportunity to exchange out of their investments in the SAIC Non-Exchangeable Stock Funds. Generally, each plan participant’s balances held in the Non-Exchangeable Stock Funds can only be transferred into other investment options following such plan participant’s termination or retirement. We repurchased $490 million of our common stock in the June 2006 limited market and retirement plans trades, a significant amount of which was attributable to the repurchase of common stock held in the Non-Exchangeable Stock Funds. While we cannot predict how many shares, if any, we will repurchase through retirement plan trades in fiscal 2007, it is possible that we will spend as much or more than we spent for repurchases in fiscal 2006. If the IPO is completed, we will conduct four scheduled trades for our retirement plans following completion of the IPO through which participants in retirement plans may offer to buy or sell shares in accordance with the terms of those plans. In these four scheduled trades, we will have the right, but not the obligation, to buy the net balance of shares offered by participants in the retirement plans. If the IPO is completed, the retirement plans will also have the opportunity to convert shares of new class A preferred stock into new common stock and to sell those shares into the public market to the extent permissible under the transfer restrictions on the new class A preferred stock.

 

If we complete the IPO, we expect to have sufficient funds from our existing cash, cash equivalents and borrowing capacity to pay a special dividend. Assuming we complete the IPO and pay a special dividend, we expect our cash and cash equivalents, borrowing capacity and expected cash flows from operations to provide sufficient funds for at least the next 12 months for our operations, capital expenditures, stock repurchases from our retirement plans, possible business acquisitions and equity investments, and to meet our contractual obligations, including interest payments on our outstanding debt. There is a greater likelihood that we will borrow funds under our credit facility if we ultimately declare and pay the special dividend at the higher end of the stated range.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We are party to various off-balance sheet arrangements including various guarantees, indemnifications and lease obligations. We have outstanding performance guarantees and cross-indemnity agreements in conjunction with our joint venture investments. See Notes 16 and 19 of the notes to consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2006 for detailed information about our lease commitments and “—Commitments and Contingencies” for detailed information about our guarantees associated with our joint ventures.

 

In connection with the sale of Telcordia, as described in Note 11 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended April 30, 2006, we retained certain obligations as described in “—Commitments and Contingencies.” We also have customary indemnification obligations and have waived our right to repurchase our common stock from the Telcordia 401(k) Plan as previously discussed.

Because payments under the deferred compensation arrangements are based upon the participant’s termination, we are unable to determine when such amounts will become due. Therefore, for purpose of this table we assumed equal payments over the next six years.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

Telkom South Africa

 

As described in Note 10 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended April 30, 2006, our former Telcordia subsidiary instituted arbitration proceedings before the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), against Telkom South Africa in March 2001 as a result of a contract dispute. Telkom South Africa successfully challenged the arbitrator’s partial award in our favor in the South African trial court, and we have appealed this decision to the South African Supreme Court. The hearing on this appeal is scheduled for October 31, 2006. In a separate proceeding, we unsuccessfully attempted to have our partial arbitration award confirmed by the U.S. District Court. Telcordia has appealed this ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Oral arguments were held on January 13, 2006 and the parties are awaiting a decision.

 

On March 15, 2005, we sold Telcordia to an affiliate of Warburg Pincus LLC and Providence Equity Partners Inc. Pursuant to the definitive stock purchase agreement relating to the sale, we are entitled to receive all of the net proceeds from any judgment or settlement with Telkom South Africa, and, if this dispute is settled or decided adversely against Telcordia, we are obligated to indemnify the buyer of Telcordia against any loss that may result from such an outcome.

 

Due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved in the dispute and the uncertainty of litigation in general, the outcome of the arbitration and the related court actions are not presently determinable; however, an adverse resolution could materially harm our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. We do not have any assets or liabilities recorded related to this contract and the related legal proceedings as of April 30, 2006 and January 31, 2006. We do not believe a material loss is probable based on the procedural standing of the case and our understanding of applicable laws and facts.

 

Firm Fixed-Price Contract with the Greek Government

 

Original Contract. In May 2003, we entered into a euro-denominated firm-fixed-price contract with the Hellenic Republic of Greece (the Customer), as represented by the Ministry of Defense, to provide a C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Coordination and Integration) System (the System), to support the 2004 Athens Summer Olympic Games (the Olympics), and to serve as the security system for the Customer’s public order departments following completion of the Olympics. The System is comprised of 29 subsystems, organized into three major functional areas: the Command Decision Support System (CDSS), the Communication and Information System and the Command Center Systems. A significant amount of effort on this contract has been and will be performed by subcontractors to us. Under the contract, the System was to be completed, tested, and accepted by September 1, 2004, at a price of approximately $199 million. To date, we have received advance payments totaling approximately $147 million. The contract also requires us to provide five years of System support and maintenance for approximately $12 million and ten years of TETRA radio network services for approximately $104 million. Under the terms of the contract, our obligation to provide the System support and maintenance and TETRA radio network services only begins upon System acceptance, which has not yet occurred. The contract contains an unpriced option for an additional five years of TETRA network services.

 

The Memorandum. On July 7, 2004, shortly before the start of the Olympics, we entered into an agreement (the Memorandum) with the Hellenic Republic, as represented by the Committee for Planning and Monitoring the Olympic Security Command Centers, pursuant to which the parties recognized and agreed that: (1) delivery and acceptance of the System had not been completed by the scheduled date; (2) the System would be delivered for use at the Olympics in its then-current state, which included certain omissions and deviations attributable to

 

104


Table of Contents

both parties; (3) a new process for testing and acceptance of the System would be instituted, with final acceptance to occur no later than October 1, 2004; (4) the Customer would proceed with the necessary actions for the completion of a contract modification as soon as possible; and (5) we would receive a milestone payment of approximately $23 million immediately upon the execution of the contract modification.

 

Delivery of System, Testing and Negotiations. The Customer took delivery of the System for use and operation during the Olympics, and continues to use significant portions of the System. The System has not been accepted by the Customer under the terms of the Greek contract, and the contract modification anticipated under the Memorandum has not been obtained. In November 2004, we delivered a revised version of the CDSS portion of the System to the Customer. Beginning in December 2004 and continuing through April 2005, the Customer performed subsystems acceptance testing on each of the subsystems comprising the System based on test procedures that had not been mutually agreed upon by the parties. The Customer identified numerous omissions and deviations in its test reports. We believe that certain of these omissions and deviations are valid, while others are not. From December 2004 through April 2005, we engaged in negotiations with the Customer concerning a modification to the contract to resolve the disputes. On April 28, 2005, the Customer formally notified us that the System delivered had significant deviations and omissions from the contractual requirements and may not be accepted.

 

Under the terms of the contract and the Memorandum between the parties, we submitted various proposals to the Customer to remedy these omissions and deviations. The most significant of these proposals includes a redevelopment of CDSS using an alternative technical approach, and a redesigned port security system. The first such proposal for an alternative CDSS technical approach was submitted in June 2005. On November 25, 2005, the Customer notified us that its technical advisors had declined to recommend either the acceptance or rejection of our remediation plan for an alternative CDSS. On December 5, 2005, we sent a letter advising the Customer that unless an agreement was reached with respect to the alternative CDSS approach, we intended to initiate the dispute process contained in the Greek contract, which includes binding arbitration as our final step. On December 13, 2005, the Customer delivered a letter to us indicating that our proposal based on the alternative CDSS approach was deemed “acceptable in principle” on the terms proposed. The parties reengaged in negotiations in early January 2006 on a contract modification to incorporate these proposals. A contract modification has not yet been executed and would be required in order for us to implement the proposals and achieve Customer acceptance of the System. We anticipate that such modification would include a revised testing and acceptance procedure which would provide for acceptance of individual subsystems on satisfactory completion of the testing of the subsystem. Until such acceptance occurs, the Customer has advised us that it cannot negotiate appropriate price adjustments for omissions and deviations of a subsystem. As of July 24, 2006, agreement with the customer on a modification to the Greek contract had not been reached and a contract modification will not be executed prior to the July 31, 2006 deadline for the Customer to submit its response to the arbitration complaint.

 

Subcontracts. We have subcontracted a significant portion of the requirements under the Greek contract, including the lease of certain equipment and TETRA network services for at least 10 years. In order for us to implement the technical proposals submitted to the Customer and contemplated by the modification being negotiated with the Customer, we would need to negotiate and execute modifications to the subcontracts with our subcontractors, including price. Certain of the omissions and deviations of the System are attributable to subcontracted work. Payments to the subcontractors are generally required only if we receive payment from the Customer related to the subcontractors’ work. If it is determined we breached our obligations to any of our subcontractors, we may incur additional losses. We and our principal subcontractor disagree as to whether the principal subcontractor fully performed its obligations under the subcontract.

Under the terms of the Greek contract, we are not obligated to provide TETRA network services to the Customer until the Customer has accepted the System. We and our subcontractors have provided System support and maintenance and TETRA network services to the Customer since the Olympics in August 2004, without receiving any compensation. In September 2005, our principal subcontractor notified us that it would no longer commit to continue providing TETRA network services, although it has continued to provide such services to date. On May 19, 2006, a second-tier subcontractor working for our principal subcontractor responsible for providing the TETRA radio network services provided legal notice to our principal subcontractor that it will stop supporting and maintaining the TETRA subsystem at an unspecified date in the future. In a letter dated May 24, 2006, our principal subcontractor requested payment within 10 days from us of all amounts due under the subcontract. In a letter dated May 26, 2006, we advised our principal subcontractor that under the terms of the subcontract, receipt of full payment from the Customer is a condition to our obligation to pay the subcontractor and that the Customer’s refusal to pay us relates in part to deviations and omissions in our principal subcontractor’s work. In a letter dated June 13, 2006, the second-tier subcontractor responsible for providing TETRA radio network operation and maintenance services notified our principal subcontractor that it would cease providing such services on June 30, 2006. On June 27, 2006, our principal subcontractor agreed to cover the TETRA subsystem operational/maintenance cost of the second tier subcontractor from June 27, 2006 until August 1, 2006. As of July 24, 2006, the second-tier subcontractor continues to provide such services but has indicated to us that it would cease providing such services by August 1, 2006.

 

Legality of the Contract. In March 2005, the Customer notified us that an issue had been raised concerning the legality of the Greek contract by a Greek government auditor. In August 2005, we learned that the Court of Auditors of the Hellenic Republic (the Greek Audit Court), a government agency with authority to review and audit procurements, issued a decision finding that certain mistakes in the procurement process committed by the Greek government rendered the contract illegal. The Customer requested revocation of the Greek Audit Court decision. On November 17, 2005, the Greek Audit Court issued a decision finding that the errors committed by the Customer in the procurement process constituted “pardonable mistakes” with respect to prior payments under the contract. Although the rationale of the Greek Audit Court decision suggests that the Customer may be able to make future payments under the contract, the impact of the decision on the legality of the contract and the Customer’s ability to make future payments is not clear. Recent communications from the Customer suggest that the Greek Audit Court may have to approve any modification to the contract, and any payments made under the modified contract.

 

Financial Status and Contingencies of the Contract. We have recorded $121 million of contract losses under the Greek contract as of April 30, 2006. While we recorded no losses on this contract during the three months ended April 30, 2006, $7 million was recorded during the three months ended April 30, 2005. These losses reflect our estimated total cost to complete the System and obtain Customer acceptance and estimated results of negotiations on reductions in price for omissions and deviations from contract requirements. Because of the significant uncertainties related to ultimate acceptance and payment from the Customer, our current accounting treatment assumes the contract value is limited to the cash received to date. Although we expect to pursue remaining amounts owed under the terms of the contract, this reduction in total estimated revenues to be realized under the contract increased the total loss by $32 million during the year ended January 31, 2006, which is included in the loss amounts discussed above. Through April 30, 2006, we have recognized revenues of $119 million, which represent a portion of the $147 million cash received to date based upon the percentage-of-completion method of revenue recognition.

 

As of April 30, 2006, the estimated future costs to complete the System and obtain Customer acceptance is $52 million. This estimated cost is included in the $121 million contract losses recorded as of April 30, 2006. Management has used this estimate and its judgment in evaluating the various uncertainties and assumptions necessary to recognize the total estimated loss on this contract. Such assumptions include obtaining mutual

 

106


Table of Contents

agreement with the Customer regarding system requirements, execution of a modification to the contract, completion of the System and Customer acceptance. The total costs are significantly affected by the timing of events such as executing a contract modification and ultimate Customer acceptance. Management has estimated that final acceptance of the System under a modified contract will occur in January 2008. Our recorded losses exclude potential subcontractor payments associated with the omissions and deviations related to specific subsystems supplied by subcontractors in the amount of $13 million that management believes will not be paid under the subcontract terms.

 

We have $14 million of accounts receivable relating to Value Added Taxes (VAT) that we have paid and believe we are entitled to recover either as a refund from the taxing authorities or as a payment under the Greek contract upon final billing. The contract requires the Customer to pay amounts owed for VAT for the System delivered. Failure by the Customer to pay these amounts could result in an additional obligation payable by us to the Greek taxing authorities and would increase our total losses on the contract.

 

In accordance with the terms of the contract, we are required to provide certain payment, performance and offset bonds in favor of the Customer. These bonding requirements have been met through the issuance of standby letters of credit. Under the terms of these bonding arrangements, the Customer currently has the right to call some or all of the $242 million of standby letters of credit outstanding. The letters of credit supporting the payment bonds ($157 million) and performance bonds ($33 million) may be called by the Customer submitting a written statement to the guaranteeing bank that we have not fulfilled our obligations under the contract. The letters of credit supporting the offset bonds ($52 million) may be called by the Customer submitting a written statement to the guaranteeing bank that we have not fulfilled our obligations under a separate offset contract requiring us, among other things, to use Greek subcontractors on the contract. We believe that any amounts obtained by the Customer through such a calling of these letters of credit may be retained by the Customer only as security against any actual damages it proves in arbitration, and that any excess must be returned to us. We do not currently believe it is probable that the Customer will call these standby letters of credit. If the standby letters of credit are called, we may have the right to call some or all of the $102 million in bonds provided by our subcontractors in connection with their work under the contract.

 

Arbitration Proceedings. Although we have been pursuing a contract modification with the Customer since shortly after the Memorandum was signed in July 2004, due to the difficulties in reaching mutually satisfactory terms, we instituted arbitration proceedings on April 21, 2006 before the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) against the Customer to pursue our rights and remedies provided for in the contract and the Memorandum and under Greek law. The arbitration complaint filed by us: (1) seeks an order under the contract that the Customer’s extended use of the System under the circumstances constitutes constructive acceptance and precludes the Customer from rejecting the System, (2) seeks damages for breach of contract, bad faith, use of the System and other damages, (3) seeks a determination as to the legal status of the contract as a result of the illegality issue discussed above, and (4) if the contract is determined to be illegal, seeks compensation for the commercial value of the System delivered and its use by the Customer and other damages. We are seeking total damages in excess of $76 million, with the precise amount to be proven in arbitration. We agreed to extend to July 31, 2006, the time period in which the Customer may submit its response to the arbitration complaint in order to provide the parties additional time to attempt to negotiate and complete a modification. As of July 24, 2006, agreement with the customer on a modification to the Greek contract had not been reached and a contract modification will not be executed prior to the July 31, 2006 deadline. Under the terms of the contract, disputes are subject to ultimate resolution by binding arbitration before a panel of three Greek arbitrators in Greece. Due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved and the uncertainty of litigation in general, the outcome of the arbitration is uncertain. There is no assurance that we will prevail in the arbitration.

 

107


Table of Contents

In the event we do not prevail in the arbitration or are unable to resolve the various disputes under the contract as anticipated, we could incur additional losses. If the Customer asserts claims against us in the arbitration and it is determined that we have breached the contract and, as a result, owe the Customer damages, such damages could include, but are not limited to, (1) re-procurement costs, (2) repayment of amounts paid of $147 million under the contract, (3) penalties for delayed delivery in an amount up to $15 million, and (4) forfeiture of good performance bonds in the amount of $33 million. Due to the early stage of the arbitration, the amount of any claims that the Customer may assert against us in the arbitration is not known.

 

Successful imposition of damages or claims by the Customer or subcontractors against us, the calling of our bonds, additional contract costs required to fulfill our obligations, or additional revenue reductions arising from the negotiation of the contract modification could have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

DS&S Joint Venture

 

In March 2006, we sold our interest in DS&S, a joint venture in which we owned a 50% interest. As part of the sale, we agreed to indemnify the purchaser for certain legal costs and expenses, including those relating to an on-going government investigation involving DS&S and any litigation resulting from that investigation up to the sum of the sales price of $9 million plus the amount received by us in repayment of a $1 million loan receivable owed by DS&S. As of April 30, 2006, we have deferred any gain on the sale of DS&S pending resolution of the on-going investigation and any resulting litigation.

 

INTESA Joint Venture

 

INTESA, a Venezuelan joint venture we formed in fiscal 1997 with Venezuela’s national oil company, PDVSA, to provide information technology services in Latin America, is involved in various legal proceedings. We had previously consolidated our 60% interest in the joint venture, but the operations of INTESA were classified as discontinued operations as of January 31, 2003 and INTESA is currently insolvent. PDVSA has refused to have the joint venture declared bankrupt as required under Venezuelan law.

 

Outsourcing Services Agreement and Guarantee. INTESA had derived substantially all its revenues from an outsourcing services agreement with PDVSA that it entered into at the time the joint venture was formed. The services agreement expired on June 30, 2002 and the parties were not able to reach agreement on a renewal. We guaranteed INTESA’s obligations under the services agreement to PDVSA. Under the terms of the services agreement, INTESA’s liability for damages to PDVSA in any calendar year is capped at $50 million. As a result, our maximum potential liability to PDVSA under the guarantee in any calendar year, based on our guarantee of PDVSA’s ownership interest in INTESA, is $20 million. To date, PDVSA has not asserted any claims.

 

Expropriation of Our Interest in INTESA. In fiscal 2003 and 2004, PDVSA and the Venezuelan government took certain actions, including denying INTESA access to certain of its facilities and assets, which prevented INTESA from continuing operations. In fiscal 2005, the Overseas Private Investment Company (OPIC), a U.S. governmental entity that provides insurance coverage against expropriation of U.S. business interests by foreign governments, determined that the Venezuelan government had expropriated our interest in INTESA without compensation and paid us approximately $6 million in settlement of our claim.

 

Employment Claims of Former INTESA Employees. INTESA is a defendant in a number of lawsuits brought by former employees seeking unpaid severance and pension benefits. PDVSA and SAIC Bermuda, our wholly-owned subsidiary and the entity that held our interest in INTESA, were added as defendants in a number of these suits. Based on the procedural standing of the cases and our understanding of applicable laws and facts, we believe that our exposure to any possible loss related to these employment claims is either remote or, if reasonably possible, immaterial.

Table of Contents

Other Legal Proceedings Involving INTESA. The Attorney General of Venezuela initiated a criminal investigation of INTESA in fiscal 2003 alleging unspecified sabotage by INTESA employees. We believe this investigation is inactive. In connection with our expropriation claim, OPIC determined that INTESA did not sabotage PDVSA’s infrastructure as alleged by PDVSA and the Venezuelan government. In addition, the SENIAT, the Venezuelan tax authority, filed a claim against INTESA in fiscal 2004 for approximately $30 million for alleged non-payment of VAT taxes in fiscal 1998.

 

Potential Financial Impact. Many issues relating to INTESA, including the termination of the services agreement and the employment litigation brought by former INTESA employees, remain unresolved. Due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved in these matters and the uncertain economic and political environment in Venezuela, the outcome is not presently determinable; however, adverse resolutions could materially harm our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Other Joint Ventures

 

We are an investor in Danet Partnership GbR (Danet GbR), a German partnership accounted for under the equity method. Danet GbR is the controlling shareholder in Danet GmbH, a German operating company. Danet GbR has an internal equity trading market similar to our limited market. We are required to provide liquidity rights to the other Danet GbR investors in certain circumstances. Absent a change in control whereby we gain control over Danet GbR, these rights allow Danet GbR investors who are withdrawing from the partnership to put their Danet GbR shares to us in exchange for the current fair value of those shares. If we gain control over Danet GbR, all Danet GbR investors have the right to put their shares to us in exchange for the current fair value of those shares. If Danet GbR investors put their shares to us, we may pay the put price in shares of our common stock or cash. We do not currently record a liability for these put rights because their exercise is contingent upon the occurrence of future events which we cannot determine will occur with any certainty. During the three months ended April 30, 2006, we paid less than $1 million to withdrawing Danet GbR investors who exercised their right to put their Danet GbR shares to us. The maximum potential obligation, assuming all the current Danet GbR investors were to put their Danet GbR shares to us, was $7 million as of April 30, 2006. If we were to incur the maximum obligation and buy all the partnership shares currently held by other Danet GbR investors, we would then own 100% of Danet GbR and would hold a controlling interest in Danet GmbH.

 

We have a guarantee that relates only to claims brought by the sole customer of another of our joint ventures, Bechtel SAIC Company, LLC, for specific contractual nonperformance of the joint venture. We also have a cross-indemnity agreement with the joint venture partner, pursuant to which we will only be ultimately responsible for the portion of any losses incurred under the guarantee equal to our ownership interest of 30%. Due to the nature of the guarantee, as of April 30, 2006 we are not able to project the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under the guarantee but, based on current conditions, we believe the likelihood of having to make any payment is remote. Accordingly, no liability relating to this guarantee is currently recorded.

 

On September 15, 2004, we entered into an agreement with EG&G Technical Services, Inc. (EG&G), and Parsons Infrastructure & Technology Group, Inc. (Parsons), to form Research and Development Solutions, LLC (RDS), a Delaware limited liability company that will pursue contracts offered by the Department of Energy’s National Energy Technical Laboratory. We, EG&G and Parsons, each have a one-third equal joint venture interest. In conjunction with a contract award to RDS, each joint venture partner was required to sign a performance guarantee agreement with the U.S. Government. Under this agreement, we unconditionally guarantee all of RDS’s obligations to the U.S. Government under the contract award, which has an estimated total value of $217 million. We also have a cross-indemnity agreement with each of the other two joint venture

partners to protect us from liabilities for any U.S. Government claims resulting from the actions of the other two joint venture partners and to limit our liability to our share of the contract work. As of April 30, 2006, the fair value of the guarantee is not material to us.

 

Other

 

We are subject to investigations and reviews relating to compliance with various laws and regulations with respect to our role as a contractor to agencies and departments of the U.S. Government and in connection with performing services in countries outside of the United States. Such matters can lead to criminal, civil or administrative proceedings and we could be faced with penalties, fines, repayments or compensatory damages. Adverse findings could also have a material adverse effect on us because of our reliance on government contracts. Although we can give no assurance, based upon management’s evaluation of current matters that are subject to U.S. Government investigations of which we are aware and based on management’s current understanding of the facts, we do not believe that the outcome of any such matter would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or our ability to conduct business.

 

We are also involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of our business, none of which, in the opinion of our management, based upon current information, will likely have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or ability to conduct business.

 

In the normal conduct of our business, we seek to monetize our patent portfolio through licensing agreements. We also have and will continue to defend our patent positions when we believe our patents have been infringed and are involved in such litigation from time to time. As described in Note 11 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended April 30, 2006, on March 15, 2005, we sold our Telcordia subsidiary. Pursuant to the terms of the definitive stock purchase agreement, we will receive 50% of any net proceeds Telcordia receives in the future in connection with the enforcement of certain patent rights.

 

As part of the terms of the sale of Telcordia, in addition to the indemnification related to the Telkom South Africa litigation, we also have indemnified the buyer for all income tax obligations on and through the date of close. While we believe we have adequate accruals for these tax contingencies, the ultimate resolution of these matters could differ from the amounts accrued. All of these future contingent payments or contingent purchase price proceeds will continue to be reflected as discontinued operations in the period in which they arise.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an on-going basis, including those relating to allowances for doubtful accounts, inventories, fair value and impairment of investments, fair value and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes, warranty obligations, estimated profitability of long-term contracts, pension benefits, contingencies and litigation. Our estimates and assumptions have been prepared on the basis of the most current reasonably available information. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Table of Contents

We have several critical accounting policies that are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments. Typically, the circumstances that make these judgments complex and difficult have to do with making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We no longer consider our accounting policies for pension plans and derivative instruments to be critical accounting policies. With the sale of Telcordia, our remaining pension plans are not of a material size, and therefore our accounting policies for pension plans are not considered critical accounting policies as the impact of management judgment related to pension plans is not considered significant. Similarly, our use of derivative instruments has not been material since fiscal 2003, and therefore we no longer consider our derivative instrument accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. Our critical accounting policies are as follows:

 

Revenue Recognition. Our revenues are primarily recognized using the percentage-of-completion method as discussed in Statement of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts.” Under the percentage-of-completion method, revenues are recognized based on progress towards completion, with performance measured by the cost-to-cost method, efforts-expended method or units-of-delivery method, all of which require estimating total costs at completion. Estimating costs at completion on our long-term contracts, particularly due to the technical nature of the services being performed, is complex and involves significant judgment. Factors that must be considered in making estimates include labor productivity and availability, the nature and technical complexity of the work to be performed, potential performance delays, the availability and timing of funding from the customer, the progress toward completion and the recoverability of claims. Adjustments to original estimates are often required as work progresses, experience is gained and additional information becomes known, even though the scope of the work required under the contract may not change. Any adjustment as a result of a change in estimates is made when facts develop, events become known or an adjustment is otherwise warranted, such as in the case of a contract modification. When estimates indicate that we will experience a loss on the contract, we recognize the estimated loss at the time it is determined. Additional information may subsequently indicate that the loss is more or less than initially recognized, which would require further adjustment in our financial statements. We have procedures and processes in place to monitor the actual progress of a project against estimates and our estimates are updated quarterly or more frequently if circumstances warrant.

 

Although our primary revenue recognition policy is the percentage-of-completion method, we do have contracts under which we use alternative methods to record revenue (see Note 1 of the notes to consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2006). Selecting the appropriate revenue recognition method involves judgment based on the contract and can be complex depending upon the structure and terms and conditions of the contract.

 

Costs incurred on projects accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method can be recognized as pre-contract costs and deferred as an asset when we have been requested by the customer to begin work under a new contract, or extend or modify work under an existing contract (change order). We record pre-contract costs when formal contracts or contract modifications have not yet been executed, and it is probable that we will recover the costs through the issuance of a contract or contract modification. When the formal contract or contract modification has been executed, the costs are recorded to the contract and revenue is recognized based on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.

 

Contract claims are unanticipated additional costs incurred in excess of the executed contract price that we seek to recover from the customer. Such costs are expensed as incurred. Additional revenue related to contract claims is recognized when the amounts are awarded by the customer.

 

Income Taxes. Income taxes are provided utilizing the liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the

 

111


Table of Contents

carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Under the liability method, changes in tax rates and laws are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted. In addition, the provisions for federal, state, foreign and local income taxes are calculated on reported financial statement income before income taxes based on current tax law and include the cumulative effect of any changes in tax rates from those used previously in determining deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such provisions differ from the amounts currently payable because certain items of income and expense are recognized in different time periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes. We also have recorded liabilities for tax contingencies for open years based upon our best estimate of the taxes ultimately expected to be paid. A significant portion of our income taxes payable balance is comprised of tax accruals that have been recorded for tax contingencies.

 

Recording our provision for income taxes requires management to make significant judgments and estimates for matters whose ultimate resolution may not become known until final resolution of an examination by the IRS or State agencies. Additionally, recording liabilities for tax contingencies involves significant judgment in evaluating our tax positions and developing our best estimate of the taxes ultimately expected to be paid.

 

Stock-Based Compensation. We recognize as compensation expense the fair value of all stock-based awards, including stock options, granted to employees and others in exchange for services, typically over the period during which such awards are earned. We are also required to recognize as compensation expense the 15% discount on employee stock purchases made under our ESPP. The estimation of stock option fair value requires management to make complex estimates and judgments about, among other things, employee exercise behavior, forfeiture rates, and the volatility of our common stock. These judgments directly affect the amount of compensation expense that will ultimately be recognized.

 

Investments in Marketable and Private Equity Securities. Our marketable debt and equity securities are carried on the balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded through equity. When the fair value of a security falls below its cost basis and the decline is deemed to be other-than-temporary, we record the difference between cost and fair value as an unrealized loss. Investments accounted for on the cost method or equity method must be marked down to estimated fair value if an other-than-temporary decline occurs. In determining whether a decline is other-than-temporary, management considers a wide range of factors that may vary depending upon whether the investment is a marketable debt or equity security or a private investment. These factors include the duration and extent to which the fair value of the security or investment has been below its cost, recent financing rounds at a value that is below our carrying value, the operating performance of the entity, its liquidity and our investment intent. The private equity investments involve more judgment than the marketable equity securities because there is no readily available fair market value of a private equity security. Therefore, management, in addition to considering a wide range of other factors, must also use valuation methods to estimate the fair value of a private equity investment. Management judgments about these factors may impact the timing of when an other-than-temporary loss is recognized, and management’s use of valuation methods to estimate fair value may also impact the amount of the impairment loss.

 

Business Combinations and Goodwill Impairment. We have engaged and expect to continue to engage in significant business acquisition activity. The accounting for business combinations requires management to make judgments and estimates of the fair value of assets acquired, including the identification and valuation of intangible assets, as well as the liabilities and contingencies assumed. Such judgments and estimates directly impact the amount of goodwill recognized in connection with each acquisition. As of January 31, 2006, goodwill represents 52% of our consolidated long-term assets and 12% of consolidated total assets.

 

Goodwill is tested annually in our fourth fiscal quarter and whenever an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is reasonably possible that an impairment condition may exist. The goodwill impairment test

 

112


Table of Contents

is a two-step process that requires management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step of the process consists of estimating the fair value of each of the reporting units based on a discounted cash flow model using revenue and profit forecasts and comparing those estimated fair values with the carrying values, which includes the allocated goodwill. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is the residual fair value derived by deducting the fair value of a reporting unit’s identifiable assets and liabilities from its estimated fair value calculated in step one. The impairment charge represents the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. The revenue and profit forecasts used in step one are based on management’s best estimate of future revenues and operating costs. Changes in these forecasts could cause a particular reporting unit to either pass or fail the first step in the impairment test, which could significantly change the amount of the impairment recorded from step two. In addition, the estimated future cash flows are adjusted to present value by applying a discount rate. Changes in the discount rate impact the impairment by affecting the calculation of the fair value of the reporting unit in step one.

 

Effects of Inflation

 

Our cost-reimbursement type contracts are generally completed within one year. As a result, we have generally been able to anticipate increases in costs when pricing our contracts. Bids for longer-term FFP and T&M contracts typically include sufficient provisions for labor and other cost escalations to cover cost increases over the period of performance. Consequently, revenues and costs have generally both increased commensurate with the general economy. As a result, net income as a percentage of total consolidated revenues has not been significantly impacted by inflation.

 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are exposed to certain market risks in the normal course of business. Our current market risk exposures are primarily related to interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. The following information about our market sensitive financial instruments contains forward-looking statements.

 

Interest Rate Risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, interest rate swaps and long-term debt obligations.

 

We have established an investment policy to protect the safety, liquidity and after-tax yield of invested funds. This policy establishes guidelines regarding acceptability of instruments and maximum maturity dates and requires diversification in the investment portfolios by establishing maximum amounts that may be invested in designated instruments. We do not authorize the use of derivative financial instruments in our managed short- term investment portfolios. Our policy authorizes the limited use of derivative instruments only to hedge specific interest rate risks.

Table of Contents

The table below provides information about our financial instruments at January 31, 2006 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations and short-term investments, the table presents principal cash flows in U.S. dollars and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. For interest rate swap agreements, the table presents the notional amounts and weighted average interest rates. The notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual cash flows to be exchanged under the contracts. As described in Note 8 of the notes to consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2006, the swap agreements we entered into in May 2003 are expected to substantially offset interest rate exposures related to the swap agreements previously entered into in January 2002. As a result, on a combined basis, these swaps are no longer exposed to changing interest rates and we have excluded these swap agreements from the table below.

Short term interest rates related to these financial instruments have increased since January 31, 2005, while long term interest rates remained relatively consistent. At January 31, 2006, our investments in marketable securities and cash equivalents were higher than January 31, 2005 by approximately $292 million and $64 million, respectively. We also had a larger portion of our marketable securities invested in financial instruments bearing variable interest rates at January 31, 2006 than January 31, 2005. Short term interest rates related to these financial instruments have increased since January 31, 2006. At April 30, 2006, a significant portion of our total assets consisted of cash equivalents which are subject to fluctuations in short term interest rates. This increase in overall investments in cash equivalents bearing variable interest rates has increased our sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

 

Foreign Currency Risk. Although the majority of our transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars, some transactions are denominated in various foreign currencies. Our objective in managing our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations is to mitigate adverse fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Our policy allows us to actively manage cash flows, anticipated transactions and firm commitments through the use of natural hedges and forward foreign exchange contracts. We do not use foreign currency derivative instruments for trading purposes.

We assess the risk of loss in fair values from the impact of hypothetical changes in foreign currency exchange rates on market sensitive instruments by performing a sensitivity analysis. The fair values for forward foreign exchange contracts were estimated using spot rates in effect on April 30, 2006. The differences that result from comparing hypothetical foreign exchange rates and actual spot rates as of April 30, 2006 are the hypothetical gains and losses associated with foreign currency risk. As of April 30, 2006, holding all other variables constant, a 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar against each hedged currency would affect the fair values of the forward foreign exchange contracts by immaterial amounts.

BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

We are a leading provider of scientific, engineering, systems integration and technical services and solutions to all branches of the U.S. military, agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), the intelligence community, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other U.S. Government civil agencies, as well as to customers in selected commercial markets. Our customers seek our domain expertise to solve complex technical challenges requiring innovative solutions for mission-critical functions in such areas as national security, intelligence and homeland defense. Increasing demand for our services and solutions is driven by priorities including the ongoing global war on terror and the transformation of the U.S. military.

 

From fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2006, our consolidated revenues increased at a compound annual growth rate of 15.6% to a company record of $7.8 billion, inclusive of acquisitions and exclusive of Telcordia Technologies, Inc., our commercial telecommunications subsidiary, which we divested in March 2005. As of April 30, 2006, we had a portfolio of approximately 9,000 active contracts. Our total consolidated negotiated backlog as of April 30, 2006 was approximately $15.8 billion, which included funded backlog of approximately $3.9 billion, compared to $15.1 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively, as of January 31, 2006.

 

Currently, we serve more than 500 U.S. federal, state and local government agencies through our contracts, which include active task orders under indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicles, under which the U.S. Government issues task orders for specific services or products to be procured on previously negotiated terms. We believe we have a diversified portfolio of contracts, with revenues recognized in fiscal 2006 under our largest contract representing less than 3% of our total consolidated revenues. In addition to our national security customers, we provide services to various other U.S. federal civil agencies, including the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI). In May 2006, Washington Technology, a leading industry publication, ranked us number three in its list of Top Federal Prime Contractors in the United States based on IT, telecommunications and systems integration revenues. We expect to continue to derive the vast majority of our revenues and cash flows from our installed base of U.S. Government customers.

 

We view our 43,300 employees as our most valuable asset. We have historically attracted and retained our employees by providing challenging and important work, an entrepreneurial culture and broad employee stock ownership opportunities. Approximately 23,000 of our employees have national security clearances provided by the U.S. Government. Many U.S. Government programs require contractors to have high-level security clearances. Depending on the required level of clearance, security clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain, and our large pool of cleared employees allows us to allocate the appropriate human resources to sensitive projects, facilitating our ability to win and execute contracts with the DoD, DHS and U.S. intelligence community. Our Chief Executive Officer, our seven Executive Vice Presidents and our five Group Presidents have industry experience averaging over 32 years and tenure with our company averaging over 12 years experience.

 

Our Government segment provides a broad range of technical services and solutions in the following areas, which are described under “—Services and Solutions:”

 

    Defense Transformation. We develop leading-edge concepts, technologies and systems to solve complex challenges facing the U.S. military and its allies, helping them transform the way they fight.

 

    Intelligence. We develop solutions to help the U.S. defense, intelligence and homeland security communities build an integrated intelligence picture, allowing them to be more agile and dynamic in challenging environments and produce actionable intelligence.

 

116


Table of Contents
    Homeland Security and Defense. We develop technical solutions and provide systems integration and mission-critical support services to help federal, state, local and foreign governments and private-sector customers protect the United States and allied homelands.

 

    Logistics and Product Support. We provide logistics and product support solutions to enhance the readiness and operational capability of U.S. military personnel and weapon and support systems.

 

    Systems Engineering and Integration. We provide systems engineering and integration solutions to help our customers design, manage and protect complex IT networks and infrastructure.

 

    Research and Development. As one of the largest science and technology contractors to the U.S. Government, we conduct leading-edge research and development of new technologies with applications in areas such as national security, intelligence and life sciences.

 

The percentage of our total consolidated revenues generated by our Government segment for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 was 94%, 94% and 93%, respectively.

 

Our Commercial segment provides technology-driven consulting, systems integration and outsourcing services and solutions in selected commercial markets, currently IT support for oil and gas exploration and production, applications and IT infrastructure management for utilities and data lifecycle management for pharmaceuticals, in the United States and abroad. We apply domain-specific expertise, and adapt consulting and technology services and solutions developed for our Government segment customers, to fulfill the needs of our Commercial segment customers. These needs include enterprise IT optimization, data lifecycle management, asset management and business process analysis and transformation. The percentage of our total consolidated revenues generated by our Commercial segment was 7% for each of fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004.

 

Industry Background

 

In fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, we derived 89%, 86% and 85% of our revenues, respectively, from various departments and agencies of the U.S. Government. According to the Congressional Budget Office estimates, U.S. Government total discretionary outlays in government fiscal 2006 will be approximately $1,035 billion, and we estimate that more than $200 billion of this amount will be spent in areas in which we compete.

 

U.S. Government National Security Spending

 

Spending on national security accounts for the largest portion of the discretionary U.S. Government budget. According to Congressional Budget Office estimates, aggregate defense and homeland security discretionary outlays will be $555 billion for government fiscal 2006. These government fiscal 2006 outlays represent an increase of $56 billion over government fiscal 2005, an 11% increase.

 

Military

 

Global War on Terror. National security spending is driven primarily by the DoD. After substantial contraction in the DoD budget during the early 1990s with the end of the Cold War, spending on national security began to rebound significantly in 1999. This trend was accelerated by the U.S. Government’s response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. According to Congressional Budget Office estimates, DoD discretionary outlays will grow at a rate of 6.0% from government fiscal 2005 to 2006. These discretionary outlays do not include the June 2006 legislation for $65.88 billion in supplemental defense appropriations for the global war on terror. As a result of the ongoing global war on terror and the U.S. military’s continued deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan, we expect the U.S. Government to continue investing heavily in national security.

 

117


Table of Contents

Defense Transformation. Another key driver of recent U.S. Government national security spending has been defense transformation with a focus on command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR). Although it predated the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the effort to transform the military has accelerated as a result of the global war on terror. We believe that U.S. Government spending on defense transformation will be driven by several interrelated goals, including (1) improved threat assessment, dissemination of actionable intelligence and advance warning of threats, (2) a more mobile, versatile and effective military and (3) the development of network-centric warfighting capabilities. We believe the DoD’s annual investment in defense transformation will average more than $75 billion in each of the next four government fiscal years. Of this amount, we expect approximately $60 billion will be spent each year to acquire transformational systems and capabilities and approximately $15 billion each year to improve and outsource business, logistics and product support functions. Of the spending on the acquisition of systems and capabilities, we estimate that approximately $30 billion will be spent each year on defense transformation-related research and development, testing and evaluation (RDT&E), a large portion of which will be spent on contractors like us. Of the $15 billion that we estimate will be spent each year to improve and outsource business, logistics and product support functions, we estimate that approximately $5 billion will be spent on contractors like us.

 

Intelligence

 

Budget data for government fiscal 1998, the most recent period for which intelligence-related budget data has been declassified, indicated an annual intelligence budget in excess of $26 billion. We believe that the U.S. Government’s response to the global war on terror has resulted in increased spending by U.S. intelligence agencies and expect it to continue to grow in the foreseeable future. The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 mandated better integration and timeliness of global and domestic threat assessment and dissemination of actionable information and created the office of Director of National Intelligence with budgetary authority over 16 intelligence agencies. We expect that the increased focus on coordination and interoperability among these intelligence agencies will require significant support by outside contractors like us.

 

Homeland Defense

 

In addition to spending on the global war on terror overseas, the U.S. Government has intensified its efforts to protect the United States against terrorism at home. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that homeland security outlays will increase from $33.3 billion in government fiscal 2005 to $61 billion in government fiscal 2006, representing a growth rate of 84.7%. Homeland security outlays include homeland defense, disaster relief and emergency preparedness activities. We believe that a significant portion of future homeland defense spending will focus on protecting U.S. citizens from chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) attacks, protecting and fortifying critical infrastructure, enhancing information security, upgrading enterprise systems to better facilitate communications and facilitating coordination and communication within and among government agencies.

 

U.S. Government IT Spending

 

The U.S. Government is the largest single consumer of IT solutions, systems and services in the world. According to the Government Electronics & Information Technology Association, an industry association, the portion of total U.S. Government IT spending that is contracted to private sector providers like us will be $65 billion in government fiscal 2006 and will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 2.9% to $75 billion in government fiscal 2011. We believe that the U.S. Government’s demand for IT systems and services is driven by the national security concerns stemming from the global war on terror, the ongoing transformation of the military and the increased reliance on IT outsourcing by the U.S. Government.

Commercial Services

 

We compete in targeted areas of the commercial business services market, which is driven largely by corporate investment in technology to enhance productivity, reduce costs and increase profitability. Competitive factors, including emerging technologies and globalization, are highlighting critical areas of corporate IT spending such as enterprise information technology optimization, data lifecycle management, asset management and business analysis and transformation. The ability of businesses to capture, access, analyze and transmit data rapidly throughout an organization and between remote geographic locations is becoming more critical. In addition, increased merger and acquisition activity is also generating higher corporate IT spending. With IT projects becoming more complex in scale and scope, businesses are increasingly turning to IT services providers for access to specialized expertise and systems engineering and integration capabilities that are either not readily available from internal resources or not in their core competency. As a result, we have focused our efforts in selected commercial markets in which we can leverage our specialized experience and skill sets, currently oil and gas, utilities and pharmaceuticals.

 

Oil and Gas. The oil and gas industry is experiencing a period of historically high levels of cash flow and profitability. At the same time, diminishing reserves at proven sites and disappointing trends in greenfield exploration are placing an increased premium on data integration and exploitation at all phases of the upstream exploration and development process. Also, the oil and gas industry is relying more heavily on data management and integration to match its upstream production capabilities with downstream distribution to its end-user customers more effectively and efficiently. According to IDC, total IT spending in the North American resource industries, which includes oil and gas, was approximately $16.2 billion in 2004.

 

Utilities. With the consolidation and deregulation of utilities in the United States and United Kingdom, utility companies are facing increased profitability and financial performance expectations from their stakeholders. Utilities’ resulting focus on more efficient power generation, distribution and asset management is driving investment in IT infrastructure and business processes. According to IDC, total IT spending in North America for the utilities market was approximately $16.9 billion in 2004.

 

Pharmaceuticals. Advances in medical knowledge and research tools have dramatically increased the sources and amount of information available to scientists in the fields of drug discovery and development. Simultaneously, the high costs of clinical trials, increased pressure on drug pricing and prescription reimbursement and product liability risks have increased the importance of systems to manage drug development data. We believe that these trends are driving spending on data integration and lifecycle management in every phase of the drug discovery and development process. Industry consolidation in the pharmaceuticals and life sciences sectors is also driving the necessity for data management and IT optimization. According to Health Industry Insights, an IDC company, worldwide total IT spending for the life sciences sector, which includes pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies, was approximately $30 billion in 2004.

 

Competitive Strengths

 

To maximize our ability to consistently deliver innovative solutions to help meet our customers’ most challenging needs, and to grow our business and increase stockholder value, we rely on the following key strengths:

 

Skilled Personnel and Experienced Management. Our people are our most valuable asset. Our professional staff is highly educated, with more than 22,000 holding college degrees, of which 45% hold advanced degrees, including more than 1,500 with doctoral degrees. As of April 30, 2006, we had 43,300 employees, approximately 23,000 of whom had national security clearances. Many U.S. Government programs require contractors to have

high-level security clearances. Depending on the required level of clearance, security clearances can be difficult and time consuming to obtain, and our large pool of cleared employees allows us to allocate the appropriate human resources to sensitive projects, facilitating our ability to win and execute contracts with the DoD, DHS and U.S. intelligence community. In addition, our Chief Executive Officer, our seven Executive Vice Presidents and our five Group Presidents have industry experience averaging over 32 years and tenure with our company averaging over 12 years.

 

Employee Ownership and Core Values. We believe that a cornerstone of our success has been our culture of employee ownership supported by our long-standing core values. Approximately 35,500 of our 43,300 employees own our stock. We believe that we have a high level of employee ownership relative to our competitors, and this better aligns our employees’ interests with those of our company, our other non-employee stockholders and our customers. Following the IPO, we intend to continue to provide our employees with opportunities to own our stock through bonuses in stock or stock options, stock contributions to our employee benefit plans and participation in our employee stock purchase plan. We believe that our employee ownership culture, in addition to our core values, differentiate us from our competition. These core values include:

 

    commitment to ethical conduct

 

    fostering entrepreneurship and innovation

 

    pursuit of technical excellence

 

    focus on high level of customer satisfaction

 

Knowledge of Customers’ Needs. Over the past 35 years, we have developed a deep and sophisticated knowledge of our customers, enabling us to design effective solutions that address their mission-critical needs and integrate these solutions with existing systems. We have also made strategic hires of managerial-level employees with significant government experience who have supplemented our knowledge of our customers’ business processes and who have extended our expertise into new areas.

    #3 GSA Contractor – Federal Computer Week (September 2005)
    #3 Top U.S. Government IT Vendors – IDC (October 2005)

 

Proven Marketing and Business Development Organization. Our highly effective marketing and business development organization has helped us achieve high contract win rates and grow our business with existing and new customers. Our non-IDIQ contract win rates, based on award values, were 69%, 65% and 64% in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Ability to Complete and Integrate Acquisitions. To complement our internal growth, we have completed and integrated approximately 70 acquisitions of small- and medium-sized companies over the 10 fiscal years ended January 31, 2006, with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.7 billion. These acquisitions have provided us with highly skilled personnel including many with security clearances and specialized technical expertise, as well as valuable customer relationships, thereby enhancing our internally-developed capabilities. We believe that our ability to identify, acquire and integrate complementary businesses is a core strength that will continue to play a significant role in our growth and success.

 

Strong Relationships with Small Businesses. The U.S. Government is focused on supporting small and disadvantaged businesses through formal procurement regulations and set-asides. We have strong relationships with a large number of small and disadvantaged businesses that possess a wide range of skills and significant customer contacts. These relationships provide us access to specialized capabilities, allow us to participate with these businesses in programs with set-aside requirements and improve our competitive positioning in programs for which small and disadvantaged business participation is important.

 

Growth Strategy

 

We are focused on continuing to grow our business as a leading scientific, engineering, systems integration and technical services and solutions company. In our Government segment, we seek to become the leading provider of systems engineering, systems integration and technical services and solutions. In our Commercial segment, we seek to become a leading supplier of scientific, engineering and business solutions to our customers in additional targeted vertical markets. Elements of our growth strategy include:

 

Leverage Our Existing Customer Relationships. We plan to continue expanding the scope of the services we provide to our existing customers. We are adept at penetrating, cross-selling to and building-out existing customer accounts through our successful performance and comprehensive knowledge of our customers’ needs, which has led to many long-term contract relationships. We believe our high level of customer satisfaction and deep knowledge of our customers’ business processes enhances our ability to cross-sell additional services.

Table of Contents

Increase Our U.S. Government Customer Base. We believe that the U.S. Government’s increased emphasis on national security, intelligence and homeland security has significantly increased our market opportunity. We have extensive experience supporting the U.S. Government in the areas of contingency and emergency response and recovery planning, information assurance, critical infrastructure protection and command, control, communications and intelligence. We intend to leverage this broad experience to expand our customer base to include organizations in the U.S. Government for which we have not historically worked. We believe our ability to win new customers is enhanced by our position as a prime contractor on four of the five largest IT services GWACs, which are task-order or delivery-order contracts for IT services established by one agency for government-wide use. These contracts enable us to sell our services and solutions to virtually any U.S. Government agency. In addition we have used and intend to continue to use strategic hires as a cost-effective way to build out customer accounts, to establish new competencies and to penetrate new markets.

 

Pursue Strategic Acquisitions. In order to complement our internal growth, we plan to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions in areas that we expect to experience high growth. Our acquisition strategy is focused on companies that will enable us to cost-effectively add new customers, specific agency knowledge and/or technical expertise. We have acquired more than 70 companies over the 10 fiscal years ended January 31, 2006 and we intend to continue to selectively acquire high quality companies that accelerate our access to existing or new markets that we believe have strong growth dynamics. Following the completion of the IPO, we will have greater flexibility to make acquisitions through the issuance of publicly traded shares of our common stock.

 

Grow High Value-Added Business in Selected Commercial Markets. We intend to grow in our current selected commercial markets and identify other markets in which we can leverage our specialized experience and skill sets.

 

Services and Solutions

 

We offer a broad range of services and solutions to address our customers’ most complex and critical needs. Below is a summary of our principal services and some representative projects that illustrate the breadth of our capabilities. References below to “total contract value” mean the aggregate potential value of a given contract, assuming that all options are exercised under that contract. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business.”

 

Defense Transformation

 

We develop leading-edge concepts, technologies and systems to solve complex challenges facing the U.S. military and its allies, helping them transform the way they fight. To help ensure that U.S. military personnel are better equipped, protected and trained, we assist the DoD in developing and implementing advanced technologies into the current armed forces. As a leader in the emerging area of network-centric operations, we are helping the U.S. military to develop next-generation C4ISR capabilities, including advanced communications networks, shared situational awareness, improved collaborative planning and enhanced mobility and logistics. We received the 2004 Frost & Sullivan Competitive Strategy Leadership Award, which recognized us as one of the most trusted and influential high-level C4ISR systems integrators. Some examples of our defense transformation projects are described below.

 

U.S. Army’s Future Combat Systems Program (FCS). The U.S. Army is undertaking a major program to design, prototype and build combat technologies and systems to serve as the centerpiece of the U.S. Army’s transformation into a more mobile, versatile and effective force. We and The Boeing Company were selected in June 2003 by the U.S. Army as the lead systems integrator team for FCS. When completed, FCS will consist of 19 individual battlefield systems interconnected and commanded through an advanced network. The FCS network will be capable of monitoring and directing military equipment and personnel in all kinds of terrain and

weather conditions and providing an integrated picture of the battlefield wherever located. This program highlights our ability to conceive and design a large “system of systems” employing leading-edge technology to address the military’s future needs in new and innovative ways. The FCS Program is scheduled to run through December 31, 2014 and has a total contract value to us of approximately $3 billion. FCS currently is our largest non-IDIQ contract.

 

Global Information Grid-Bandwidth Expansion (GIG-BE). Providing military personnel with the right information at the right place and time requires a worldwide network with substantial bandwidth. We have provided significant contributions to the architecture of a new DoD global information network. Currently, we are the prime contractor supporting the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) in the development of the network’s backbone, known as the GIG-BE program. GIG-BE is bringing an optical mesh network with 10-gigabyte-per-second connectivity to approximately 100 U.S. military bases, posts and stations worldwide. GIG-BE achieved initial operating capability in only 20 months, meeting the compressed schedule set forth by DISA and demonstrating our ability to rapidly develop and deploy highly complex network technology solutions. Under multiple task orders, the GIG-BE program has a total contract value to us of $450 million.

 

Net-Centric Enterprise Services. We are supporting the DoD’s efforts to migrate from the current Global Command and Control System (GCCS) to the next generation of Joint Command and Control (JC2) based on a new services-based approach called Net-Centric Enterprise Service (NCES). We are helping define how a services-oriented architecture and web services technology should be integrated on an enterprise scale in support of warfighter operations. We are providing architecture, design, systems engineering, integration of commercial and government software, performance testing, security and information assurance engineering and deployment support to this migration effort. We believe our experience and capabilities developed in connection with the GIG-BE program, the GCCS-Joint program and the NCES initiatives have positioned us well for future major C4ISR programs.

 

Intelligence

 

We develop solutions to help the U.S. defense, intelligence and homeland security communities build an integrated intelligence picture, allowing them to be more agile and dynamic in challenging environments and produce actionable intelligence.

 

We provide operations, engineering and technical support for the development and improvement of technologies relating to intelligence collection, processing, dissemination, collaboration and implementation. Our intelligence services include activities related to (1) the support of intelligence and operations centers, (2) surveillance and reconnaissance through satellite technologies and unmanned aerial vehicle operations centers and (3) enhanced radar and sensors on weapon systems. We also support human intelligence and counterintelligence activities. Much of the information regarding our intelligence programs is classified. Some unclassified examples of our intelligence projects are provided below.

 

Geospatial Intelligence. Imagery, mapping and geospatial reference data are essential elements of all military activity. Our services include activities related to the acquisition, management, interpretation, integration, analysis and display of imagery and related mapping and intelligence data, referred to as geospatial intelligence. For example, we help U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM), the U.S. military command responsible for, among other things, U.S. homeland defense, and other government agencies provide timely, relevant, and actionable intelligence to homeland defenders. As part of this work, we developed, and now maintain, the geospatial component of NORTHCOM’s intelligence operations. We are one of the largest contract producers of geospatial information for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, having provided new imagery exploitation capabilities to 15 sites worldwide last year.

Surveillance and Reconnaissance. Unmanned vehicles have become an increasingly important intelligence-gathering tool. Our technologies are used in some of the most sophisticated unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) ever developed. We previously integrated and recently upgraded the operations center and ground stations for the Predator UAV, which was widely used in Iraq, and our technical staff supports operational crews during all Predator missions. We have also played a key role in the design and integration of the high-altitude, long-range Global Hawk UAV, and, at the other end of the spectrum, we helped test and evaluate a hand-launched UAV called Dragon Eye, which provided U.S. Marines in Iraq with infrared surveillance videos of their operating area. Our wide-ranging system, software and engineering services are at the forefront of developing and fielding emerging UAV surveillance and reconnaissance technologies.

 

Homeland Security and Defense

 

We develop technical solutions and provide systems integration and mission-critical support services to help federal, state, local and foreign governments and private-sector customers protect the United States and allied homelands. Our innovation and breadth of solutions in homeland security was recently recognized when Frost & Sullivan named us as the 2005 Homeland Security Company of the Year.

 

We provide services and solutions including vulnerability analysis, infrastructure protection and emergency response and recovery. We contribute to critical counterintelligence plans and programs to assess vulnerabilities and help safeguard important events and infrastructure, including the 2004 national political conventions, the U.S. Capitol, House and Senate office buildings and the Library of Congress. We are also developing countermeasures to address a range of threats from “dirty bombs” to improvised nuclear devices to full-scale nuclear weapons. We are also working on multiple fronts to attack the toughest problems in bioagent detection. Following a disaster, managing critical infrastructure information is crucial for ensuring continuity of operations. We have designed more than a dozen emergency operations centers, primarily for state and local agencies, to manage the interoperability between new equipment and legacy responder systems. Some examples of our projects in homeland security are described below.

 

Protecting Against Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Threats. We have an extensive understanding of the design and employment of weapons of mass destruction which is critical to detection of, protection from and response to these threats. Our expertise spans the range of CBRN threats, as evidenced by the DoD’s recent selection of us as the prime contractor under the Guardian Installation Protection Program to provide CBRN protection for up to 200 DoD installations. Commanders at these installations are facing the full range of CBRN threats and a confusing array of CBRN detection, protection and response choices. As the prime contractor for the Guardian project, we will help choose and field the appropriate integrated detection, protection and response capabilities. The Guardian program has a total contract value to us of $390 million.

 

Protecting Ports, Borders and Transportation. Only a small portion of the millions of cargo containers moving by ship, road and rail are screened for weapons of mass destruction or other hazards. To help address this threat, we developed the Integrated Container Inspection System (ICIS), which scans sealed containers for hazardous materials at cargo terminals and border crossings without disrupting normal traffic flow. ICIS employs several of our technologies, including (1) EXPLORANIUM™ detectors for low-level radiation scanning, (2) optical character recognition technology for automated container identification and (3) VACIS® inspection systems for identification of a wide range of substances, including weapons, hazardous materials and drugs. Nearly 300 VACIS systems are deployed globally, and the ICIS has been deployed in two pilot programs in Hong Kong. Our products and services are now deployed in 20 major ports in multiple countries, demonstrating international adoption of this solution.

Enterprise Systems Integration for Homeland Defense. Following the consolidation of 22 U.S. Government agencies into the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), we were selected under the STARS System Management and Integration program as the prime contractor to provide enterprise-wide integration services for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement element of the DHS. Some of the services included implementation of a data network backbone connecting the formerly separate agencies and the development of the first enterprise architecture in DHS. By laying this foundation, we helped the DHS map its IT systems to specific business functions, identify overlapping systems and more effectively identify needed IT programs. In fiscal 2006, we were selected as prime contractor under the follow-on Information Technology Engineering Support Services (ITESS) program to continue to provide integration services. The follow-on ITESS program has a total contract value to us of $446 million.

 

Logistics and Product Support

 

Maintaining and delivering a ready supply of fuel, parts, munitions, food and other supplies is a constant challenge for the U.S. military. Our logistics and product support solutions enhance the readiness and operational capability of U.S. military personnel and weapon and support systems.

 

To keep up with the pace of military operations, logisticians need intelligence sensors, communications networks and analytics, as well as the same best-in-class supply chain solutions that are used in the commercial sector, such as demand forecasting, total asset visibility and just-in-time inventory. To address these needs for the U.S. Navy, we are providing a supply chain management solution to Naval Aviation Depots and the Defense Logistics Agency in support of maintenance, repair and overhaul of 72 weapon systems. Under the contract, we employ a supplier/manufacturer network with supply chain management capability to supply more than 84,000 items. Our supply chain management system incorporates intelligent agent technology, which automatically tracks inventory levels in tens of thousands of bins as parts are consumed and forecasts when items should be reordered, cutting average supply delivery times. This program has a total contract value to us of $627 million.

 

Systems Engineering and Integration

 

Large government organizations face increasingly tough challenges to integrate and share massive amounts of data from geographically remote and disparate databases and legacy systems. We provide systems engineering and integration solutions to help our customers design, manage and protect complex IT networks and infrastructure. We support customers across the domains and mission areas of the U.S. Government, providing a range of services from full-scale systems deployment to systems engineering support services.

 

With the increasing complexity of weapons systems and military tactics, the U.S. military has an increasing need for more sophisticated training tools and solutions. Through our software and systems-engineering organizations, we have pioneered innovative modeling and simulation technologies, including distributed simulation for training and distributed test and evaluation. Today, our expertise ranges from traditional areas, such as training and analysis simulation, to emerging areas, such as simulation-based acquisition. Currently, we lead the development of the DoD’s architecture and middleware for seamlessly integrating live-virtual-constructive simulation for experimentation, training, test and evaluation and acquisition. As a leader in modeling and simulation, we support the U.S.’s three premier military simulation training programs: the Army Warfighter Simulation (WARSIM), the Joint Simulation System (JSIMS), and the Air Force National Air and Space Model (NASM). Additionally, our expertise in semi-automated forces technology in the United States resulted in our selection to lead the software implementation of British doctrine and tactics for the U.K.

Research and Development

 

As one of the largest science and technology contractors to the U.S. Government, we conduct leading-edge research and development of new technologies with applications in areas such as national security, intelligence and life sciences. We believe that being at the forefront of science and technology provides us with a competitive advantage and positions us as a solution provider for our customers’ next-generation challenges. Some examples of our research and development projects are described below.

 

Advanced Robotics. We develop and test advanced robotic systems, including prototype unmanned robotic vehicles. An advanced autonomous robotic vehicle that we developed in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University recently competed in a Defense Advanced Research and Projects Agency (DARPA) sponsored test, designed to prove the concept of integration of advanced robotic vehicles into unmanned military systems. The mapping and route planning software we developed for this project has provided valuable insights that could be used for geospatial intelligence requirements for future military robotic systems. For DARPA, we developed a networked system of 100 small robots that are able to intelligently collaborate on missions. In the future, these robots may be used to search and map terrorist-occupied or earthquake-damaged buildings, as well as track intruders.

 

Wireless Sensors. For DARPA, we are also exploring innovative ways to deploy tiny wireless sensors, known as Smart Dust, that can self-configure into a network and gather and fuse information into actionable intelligence information. For example, we are researching how these sensors could help the U.S. military improve situational awareness, reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition capabilities in urban areas.

 

Biopharmaceutical and Medical Research. We operate the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at Frederick, Maryland, one of the world’s premier cancer and AIDS research facilities. We support a wide range of research areas for NCI, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the U.S. Army, including the development of nanotechnology applications for the prevention and treatment of cancer, as well as vaccines for HIV, anthrax and malaria. The NCI’s new cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid will enable cross-disciplinary sharing of research between more than 600 cancer researchers from over 50 different cancer centers. We are developing important grid-based middleware, applications and security for this groundbreaking initiative.

 

Commercial Services

 

We help our Commercial segment customers become more competitive, offering technology-driven consulting, systems integration and outsourcing services and solutions primarily to customers in selected commercial markets, currently IT support for oil and gas exploration and production, applications and IT infrastructure management for utilities and data lifecycle management for pharmaceuticals, in the United States and abroad. We apply domain-specific expertise, as well as consulting and technology services and solutions adapted from our experience with our Government segment customers, to fulfill the needs of our Commercial segment customers. These needs include enterprise IT optimization, data lifecycle management, asset management and business process analysis and transformation. Some examples of our commercial projects are described below.

 

The Digital Oilfield. The oil and gas industry faces significant challenges to maximize exploration and production while minimizing capital risk and requirements. The industry employs highly specialized systems and

solutions to meet these challenges. To help one of the largest global oil and gas companies design and operationalize its next generation oilfield and refinery called the “Field of the Future” and “Refinery of the Future,” respectively, we are working to implement and manage mission-critical geophysical data collection and decision support systems. Our solutions provide the architecture for more complete asset awareness, enabling improved decision making. We have similar projects with two other major oil and gas companies.

 

Asset Management for Utility Companies. Asset management has become increasingly important to utility companies as they look to streamline costs and create other efficiencies related to their extensive assets, many of which have useful lives spanning decades. A leading U.K. utility company sought to create more efficient methods to provide maintenance and emergency repairs of its physical assets used in electricity delivery, such as power substations, pole-mounted transformers, overhead lines and underground cables. We helped design and implement an asset management system for this utility company. This system provides field personnel with up-to-date, easy-to-access mapping information which is used to readily locate electricity substations, transformers and power cables, as well as to facilitate the use of fault diagnosis tools to enable technicians to efficiently and effectively address power loss problems across the utility’s power grid.

 

Contracts

 

As of April 30, 2006, we had a portfolio of approximately 9,000 active contracts, including active task orders under IDIQ contract vehicles. We have a diversified portfolio of contracts, with revenues recognized in fiscal 2006 under our largest contract representing approximately 4% of our total consolidated revenues. Listed below are the 10 contracts which generated the most revenues and which in the aggregate represented 14% of our total consolidated revenues in fiscal 2006.

Contract Procurement. The U.S. Government technology services procurement environment has evolved in recent years due to statutory and regulatory procurement reform initiatives. U.S. Government agencies traditionally have procured technology services and solutions through agency-specific contracts awarded to a single contractor. However, in recent years the number of procurement contracting methods available to U.S. Government customers for services procurements has increased substantially. Today, there are three predominant contracting methods through which U.S. Government agencies procure technology services: traditional single award contracts, GSA Schedule contracts, and single and multiple award IDIQ contracts. Each of these is described below:

 

    Traditionally, U.S. Government agencies have procured services and solutions through single award contracts which specify the scope of services that will be delivered and identify the contractor that will provide the specified services. When an agency has a requirement, interested contractors are solicited, qualified and then provided with a request for a proposal. The process of qualification, request for proposals and evaluation of bids requires the agency to maintain a large, professional procurement staff and can take a year or more to complete.

 

127


Table of Contents
    GSA Schedule contracts are listings of services, products and prices of contractors maintained by the GSA for use throughout the U.S. Government. In order for a company to provide services under a GSA Schedule contract, the company must be pre-qualified and awarded a contract by GSA. When an agency uses a GSA Schedule contract to meet its requirements, the agency, or the GSA on behalf of the agency, conducts the procurement. The user agency, or the GSA on its behalf, evaluates the user agency’s services requirements and initiates a competition limited to GSA Schedule qualified contractors. GSA Schedule contracts are designed to provide the user agency with reduced procurement time and lower procurement costs.

 

    Single and multiple award IDIQ contracts are contract forms used to obtain commitments from contractors to provide certain products or services on pre-established terms and conditions. Under IDIQ contracts, the U.S. Government issues task orders for specific services or products it needs and the contractor supplies products or services in accordance with the previously agreed terms. The competitive process to obtain task orders is limited to the pre-selected contractor(s). If the IDIQ contract has a single prime contractor, the award of task orders is limited to that party. If the contract has multiple prime contractors, the award of the task order is competitively determined. Multiple-contractor IDIQ contracts that are open for any government agency to use for the procurement of services are commonly referred to as government-wide acquisition contracts, or GWACs. Due to the lower cost, reduced procurement time, and increased flexibility of GWACs, there has been greater use of GWACs among many agencies for large-scale procurements of technology services. IDIQ contracts often have multi-year terms and unfunded ceiling amounts, therefore enabling but not committing the U.S. Government to purchase substantial amounts of products and services from one or more contractors.

 

Below is a list of our 10 largest non-IDIQ contracts based on total contract value to us, including funded backlog and negotiated unfunded backlog as of April 30, 2006. For information regarding our backlog, see “—Backlog.”

Backlog

 

Government segment funded backlog primarily represents the portion of backlog for which funding is appropriated and is payable to us upon completion of a specified portion of work, less revenues previously recognized on these contracts. Commercial segment funded backlog represents the full value on firm contracts, which may cover multiple future years, under which we are obligated to perform less revenues previously recognized on these contracts. Our funded backlog in the Government segment does not represent the full potential value of our contracts because the U.S. Government and our other customers often appropriate or authorize funds for a particular program or contract on a yearly or quarterly basis, even though the contract may call for performance over a number of years. When a definitive contract or contract amendment is executed and funding has been appropriated or otherwise authorized, funded backlog is increased by the difference between the funded dollar value of the contract or contract amendment and the revenues recognized to date on the contract. Negotiated unfunded backlog represents (1) firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise authorized and (2) unexercised priced contract options. Negotiated unfunded backlog does not include any estimate of future potential task orders that might be awarded under IDIQ, GWAC or GSA Schedule contract vehicles.

We expect to recognize a substantial portion of our funded backlog as revenues within the next 12 months. However, the U.S. Government may cancel any contract or purchase order at any time. In addition, certain contracts and purchase orders in the Commercial segment may include provisions that allow the customer to cancel at any time. Most of our contracts have cancellation terms that would permit us to recover all or a portion of our incurred costs and potential fees in such cases. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We may not realize as revenues the full amounts reflected in our backlog, which could adversely affect our future revenues and growth prospects.”

 

Key Customers

 

Our largest customer is the U.S. Government, in the aggregate accounting for 89%, 86% and 85% of our total consolidated revenues in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Within the U.S. Government, our largest customers for each of the last three fiscal years were the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force. Each of these customers has a number of subsidiary agencies which have separate budgets and procurement functions. Our contracts may be with the highest level or with the subsidiary agencies of these customers.

 

The percentage of total consolidated revenues attributable to each of these three major customers for the last three fiscal years was as follows:

Competition

 

Competition for U.S. Government contracts is intense. We compete against a large number of major, established multinational corporations which may have greater financial capabilities than we do. We also compete against smaller, more specialized companies that concentrate their resources on particular areas. As a

 

130


Table of Contents

result of the diverse requirements of the U.S. Government and our commercial customers, we frequently form teams with other companies to compete for large contracts, while bidding against team members in other situations. Because of the current industry trend toward consolidation, we expect major changes in the competitive landscape. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We face aggressive competition that can impact our ability to obtain contracts and therefore affect our future revenues and growth prospects.” We believe that our principal competitors include the following companies:

 

    Among contractors focused principally on U.S. Government IT and other technical services, we compete primarily with companies such as Anteon International Corporation, which was acquired by General Dynamics, CACI International Inc, ManTech International Corporation, SRA International, Inc. and The Titan Corporation, which was acquired by L-3 Communications.

 

    Among the large defense contractors which provide U.S. Government IT services in addition to other hardware systems and products, we compete primarily with engineering and technical services divisions of The Boeing Company, General Dynamics Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation and Raytheon Company.

 

    Among the diversified commercial and U.S. Government IT providers, we compete primarily with companies such as Accenture Ltd, BearingPoint, Inc., Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., Computer Sciences Corporation, Electronic Data Systems Corporation, International Business Machines Corporation and Unisys Corporation.

 

We compete on factors including, among others, our technical expertise, our ability to deliver cost-effective solutions in a timely manner, our reputation and standing with government and commercial customers, pricing and the size and scale of our company.

 

Patents and Proprietary Information

 

Our technical services and products are not generally dependent upon patent protection. We claim a proprietary interest in certain of our products, software programs, methodology and know-how. This proprietary information is protected by copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, contracts and other means.

 

We actively pursue opportunities to license our technologies to third parties and enforce our patent rights. We also evaluate potential spin-offs of our technologies.

 

In connection with the performance of services for customers in the Government segment, the U.S. Government has certain rights to data, software codes and related material that we develop under U.S. Government-funded contracts and subcontracts. Generally, the U.S. Government may disclose such information to third parties, including, in some instances, competitors. In the case of subcontracts, the prime contractor may also have certain rights to the programs and products that we develop under the subcontract.

 

Research and Development

 

We conduct research and development activities under customer-funded contracts and with independent research and development (IR&D) funds. IR&D efforts consist of projects involving basic research, applied research, development and systems and other concept formulation studies. In fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, we spent approximately $27 million, $25 million and $19 million, respectively, on IR&D, which was included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Seasonality

 

The U.S. Government’s fiscal year ends on September 30 of each year. It is not uncommon for U.S. Government agencies to award extra tasks or complete other contract actions in the weeks before the end of its

 

131


Table of Contents

fiscal year in order to avoid the loss of unexpended fiscal year funds. As a result of this cyclicality in the U.S. Government budget process, we have from time to time experienced higher revenues in our third fiscal quarter, ending October 31, and lower revenues in our fourth fiscal quarter, ending January 31.

 

Regulation

 

We are heavily regulated in most fields in which we operate. We deal with numerous U.S. Government agencies and entities, including all of the branches of the U.S. military, the DoD, NASA, intelligence agencies, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the DHS. When working with these and other U.S. Government agencies and entities, we must comply with and are affected by laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of contracts. These laws and regulations, among other things:

 

    require certification and disclosure of all cost or pricing data in connection with various contract negotiations

 

    impose acquisition regulations that define allowable and unallowable costs and otherwise govern our right to reimbursement under various cost-based U.S. Government contracts

 

    restrict the use and dissemination of information classified for national security purposes and the exportation of certain products and technical data.

 

In order to help ensure compliance with these laws and regulations, all of our employees are required to attend ethics training at least bi-annually and other compliance training relevant to their position.

 

Internationally, we are subject to special U.S. Government laws and regulations (such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act), local government regulations and procurement policies and practices (including regulations relating to import-export control, investments, exchange controls and repatriation of earnings) and varying currency, political and economic risks. Some international customers require contractors to comply with industrial cooperation regulations, sometimes referred to as offset programs. Offset programs may require in-country purchases, manufacturing and financial support projects as a condition to obtaining orders or other arrangements. Offset programs generally extend over several years and may provide for penalties in the event we fail to perform in accordance with offset requirements.

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—Our U.S. Government contracts may be terminated and we may be liable for penalties under a variety of procurement rules and regulations and changes in government regulations or practices could adversely affect our profitability, cash balances or growth prospects.”

 

Environmental Matters

 

Our operations, including the environmental consulting and investigative services we provide to third parties, and our ownership or operation of real property are subject to various foreign, federal, state and local environmental protection and health and safety laws and regulations. Failure to comply with those laws could result in civil or criminal sanctions, including fines, penalties or suspension or debarment from contracting with the U.S. Government, or could cause us to have to incur costs to change or upgrade or close some of our operations or properties. Some environmental laws hold current or previous owners or operators of businesses and real property liable for contamination, even if they did not know of and were not responsible for the contamination. Environmental laws may also impose liability on any person who disposes, transports, or arranges for the disposal or transportation of hazardous substances to any site. In addition, we may face liability for personal injury, property damage and natural resource damages relating to contamination for which we are otherwise liable or relating to exposure to or the mishandling of chemicals or other hazardous substances in connection with our current and former operations or services.

 

132


Table of Contents

Although we do not currently anticipate that the costs of complying with, or the liabilities associated with, environmental laws will materially adversely affect us, we cannot ensure that we will not incur material costs or liabilities in the future. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—Our services and operations sometimes involve using, handling or disposing of hazardous materials, which could expose us to potentially significant liabilities.”

 

Employees and Consultants

 

As of April 30, 2006, we employed approximately 43,300 full and part-time employees. We also use consultants to provide specialized technical and other services on specific projects. To date, we have not experienced any strikes or work stoppages and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.

 

The highly technical and complex services and products provided by us are dependent upon the availability of professional, administrative and technical personnel having high levels of training and skills and, in many cases, security clearances. Because of our growth and the increased competition for qualified personnel, it has become more difficult to meet all of our needs for these employees in a timely manner and this may affect our growth in the current fiscal year. We intend to continue to devote significant resources to recruit and retain qualified employees.

 

Properties

 

As of January 31, 2006, we conducted our operations in approximately 400 offices located in 44 states, the District of Columbia and various foreign countries. We occupy a total of approximately 10 million square feet of space. Of this total, we own approximately 3.1 million square feet, and the balance is leased. Our major locations are in the San Diego, California and Washington, D.C. metropolitan areas, where we occupy approximately 1.3 million square feet and 2.7 million square feet of space, respectively.

 

We own and occupy the following properties:

Richland, Washington

   1    23,700    3.1

 

The nature of our business is such that there is no practicable way to relate occupied space to industry segments. We consider our facilities suitable and adequate for our present needs. See Note 16 of the notes to consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2006 for information regarding commitments under leases.

Legal Proceedings

 

Firm Fixed-Price Contract with the Greek Government

 

Although we have been pursuing a contract modification under this agreement with the Hellenic Republic of Greece (Customer) since shortly after a memorandum agreement with the Customer (Memorandum) was signed in July 2004, due to the difficulties in reaching mutually satisfactory terms, we instituted arbitration proceedings on April 21, 2006, before the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) against the Customer to pursue our rights and remedies provided for in the contract and the Memorandum and under Greek law. The arbitration complaint filed by us: (1) seeks an order under the contract that the Customer’s extended use of the C4I system provided under the contract (System) under the circumstances constitutes constructive acceptance and precludes the Customer from rejecting the System, (2) seeks damages for breach of contract, bad faith, use of the System and other damages, (3) seeks a determination as to the legal status of the contract as a result of the illegality issue discussed above, and (4) if the contract is determined to be illegal, seeks compensation for the commercial value of the System delivered and its use by the Customer and other damages. We are seeking total damages in excess of $76 million, with the precise amount to be proven in arbitration. We agreed to extend to July 31, 2006 the time period in which the Customer may submit its response to the arbitration complaint in order to provide the parties additional time to attempt to negotiate and complete a modification. Under the terms of the contract, disputes are subject to ultimate resolution by binding arbitration before a panel of three Greek arbitrators in Greece. Due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved and the uncertainty of litigation in general, the outcome of the arbitration is uncertain. There is no assurance that we will prevail in the arbitration.

 

In the event we do not prevail in the arbitration or are unable to resolve the various disputes under the contract as anticipated, we could incur additional losses. If the Customer asserts claims against us in the arbitration and it is determined that we have breached the contract and, as a result, owe the Customer damages, such damages could include, but are not limited to, (1) re-procurement costs, (2) repayment of amounts paid of $147 million under the contract, (3) penalties for delayed delivery in an amount up to $15 million, and (4) forfeiture of good performance bonds in the amount of $33 million. Due to the early stage of the arbitration, the amount of any claims that the Customer may assert against us is not known.

 

Successful imposition of damages or claims by the Customer or subcontractors against us, the calling of our bonds, additional contract costs required to fulfill our obligations, or additional revenue reductions arising from the negotiation of the contract modification could have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. For a description of the contract, the disputes and the impact of the contract on our results of operations and financial condition, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Commitments and Contingencies—Firm Fixed-Price Contract with the Greek Government.”

 

Telkom South Africa

 

Our former Telcordia Technologies, Inc. subsidiary instituted arbitration proceedings before the ICC against Telkom South Africa in March 2001 as a result of a contract dispute. Telcordia is seeking to recover damages of approximately $130 million, plus interest at a rate of 15.5%. Telkom South Africa counterclaimed, seeking substantial damages from Telcordia, including repayment of approximately $97 million previously paid to Telcordia under the contract and the excess costs of reprocuring a replacement system, estimated by Telkom South Africa to be $234 million. On September 27, 2002, Telcordia prevailed in the initial phase of the arbitration. The arbitrator found that Telkom repudiated the contract and dismissed Telkom’s counterclaims against Telcordia. The damages to be recovered by Telcordia were to be determined in a second phase of the arbitration. Telkom challenged the arbitration decision in the South African High Court (Transvaal Provincial Division), and, on November 27, 2003, the High Court judge ordered that the arbitration decision be set aside, that the arbitrator and the ICC be dismissed and that the case be re-arbitrated before a panel of three retired South

African judges. Although the High Court judge denied Telcordia’s motion for leave to appeal his ruling, on November 29, 2004, the South African Supreme Court of Appeal granted Telcordia’s motion for leave to appeal the judge’s ruling and will hear the appeal. Telcordia filed its appellate brief in September 2005. Telkom has also filed its full brief with the court. The hearing is scheduled for October 31, 2006. In parallel proceedings in the United States District Court (Northern District of New Jersey), Telcordia is seeking to have its ICC arbitration award confirmed. On January 24, 2005, the District Court declined to confirm Telcordia’s award and in a February 17, 2005 opinion concluded that the District Court does not have personal jurisdiction over Telkom South Africa. Telcordia has appealed this ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Oral arguments were held on January 13, 2006 and the parties are awaiting a decision.

 

On March 15, 2005, we sold Telcordia to an affiliate of Warburg Pincus LLC and Providence Equity Partners Inc. Pursuant to the definitive stock purchase agreement, we are entitled to receive all of the net proceeds from any judgment or settlement with Telkom South Africa, and, if this dispute is settled or decided adversely against Telcordia, we are obligated to indemnify the buyer of Telcordia against any loss that may result from such an outcome.

 

Due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved and the uncertainty of litigation in general, the outcome of the arbitration and the related court actions are not presently determinable; however, an adverse resolution could materially harm our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

INTESA Joint Venture

 

Informática, Negocios y Tecnología, S.A., (INTESA) a Venezuelan joint venture we formed in fiscal 1997 with Venezuela’s national oil company, PDVSA, to provide information technology services in Latin America, is involved in various legal proceedings. We had previously consolidated our 60% interest in the joint venture, but the operations of INTESA were classified as discontinued operations as of January 31, 2003 and INTESA is currently insolvent. PDVSA has refused to have the joint venture declared bankrupt as required under Venezuelan law.

 

Outsourcing Services Agreement and Guarantee. INTESA had derived substantially all its revenues from an outsourcing services agreement with PDVSA that it entered into at the time the joint venture was formed. The services agreement expired on June 30, 2002 and the parties were not able to reach agreement on a renewal. We guaranteed INTESA’s obligations under the services agreement to PDVSA. Under the terms of the services agreement, INTESA’s liability for damages to PDVSA in any calendar year is capped at $50 million. As a result, our maximum potential liability to PDVSA under the guarantee in any calendar year, based on our guarantee of their ownership interest in INTESA, is $20 million. To date, PDVSA has not asserted any claims.

 

Expropriation of Our Interest in INTESA. In fiscal 2003 and 2004, PDVSA and the Venezuelan government took certain actions, including denying INTESA access to certain of its facilities and assets, that prevented INTESA from continuing operations. In fiscal 2005, the Overseas Private Investment Company (OPIC), a U.S. governmental entity that provides insurance coverage against expropriation of U.S. business interests by foreign governments, determined that the Venezuelan government had expropriated our interest in INTESA without compensation and paid us approximately $6 million in settlement of our claim.

 

Employment Claims of Former INTESA Employees. INTESA is a defendant in a number of lawsuits brought by former employees seeking unpaid severance and pension benefits. PDVSA and SAIC Bermuda, our wholly- owned subsidiary and the entity that held our interest in INTESA, were added as defendants in a number of these suits. Based on the procedural standing of these cases and our understanding of applicable laws and facts, we believe that our exposure to any possible loss related to these employment claims is either remote or, if reasonably possible, immaterial.

Table of Contents

Other Legal Proceedings Involving INTESA. The Attorney General of Venezuela initiated a criminal investigation of INTESA in fiscal 2003 alleging unspecified sabotage by INTESA employees. We believe this investigation is inactive. In connection with our expropriation claim, OPIC determined that INTESA did not sabotage PDVSA’s infrastructure as alleged by PDVSA and the Venezuelan government. In addition, the SENIAT, the Venezuelan tax authority, filed a claim against INTESA in fiscal 2004 for approximately $30 million for alleged non-payment of VAT taxes in fiscal 1998.

 

Potential Financial Impact. Many issues relating to INTESA, including the termination of the services agreement and the employment litigation brought by former INTESA employees, remain unresolved. Due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved in these matters and the uncertain economic and political environment in Venezuela, the outcome is not presently determinable; however, adverse resolutions could materially harm our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Other

 

We are also involved in various investigations, claims and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of our business, none of which, in the opinion of our management, based upon current information, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or our ability to conduct business.

 

In the normal conduct of our business, we seek to monetize our patent portfolio through licensing. We also have and will continue to defend our patent position when we believe our patents have been infringed and are involved in such litigation from time to time. On March 15, 2005, we sold our Telcordia subsidiary. Pursuant to the terms of the definitive stock purchase agreement, we will receive 50% of the net proceeds Telcordia receives in the future in connection with the prosecution of certain patent rights.

 

New SAIC

 

We formed SAIC, Inc., or New SAIC, as a Delaware corporation on August 12, 2005. To date, it has not conducted any activities other than those incident to its formation, and the preparation of the merger agreement, this proxy statement/prospectus, periodic reports, and the registration statement on Form S-1 with respect to the IPO of its new common stock. Upon completion of the merger, Old SAIC will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of New SAIC.

Board of Directors Composition and Committees

 

Our restated certificate of incorporation provides for a “classified” board of directors consisting of three classes, which shall be as equal in number as possible. The total number of authorized directors is to be between 10 and 18, with the exact size of the board to fixed by resolution of the board. Immediately following the merger and IPO, we expect to have 11 directors.

 

The board of directors of New SAIC will have the following standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee, an ethics and corporate responsibility committee, a finance committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Except as noted below, we expect that the membership for the New SAIC board committees immediately following the completion of the IPO will be the same as the current membership for Old SAIC’s corresponding board committees.

 

Audit Committee. The purpose of the audit committee is to assist the board of directors in providing oversight of: (1) the integrity of our financial statements, including the financial reporting process, system of

 

140


Table of Contents

internal control and audit process, (2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) the registered public accountant’s qualifications and independence, (4) the performance of our internal audit function and registered public accountants and (5) financial reporting risk assessment and mitigation. The current members of the Old SAIC audit committee are H.M.J. Kraemer, Jr. (Chair), W.H. Demisch, J.A. Drummond, A.K. Jones and A.T. Young. Our board of directors has determined that each member is an independent director under our corporate governance guidelines. Our board of directors has also determined that H.M.J. Kraemer, Jr., W.H. Demisch and J.A. Drummond qualify as audit committee financial experts as defined by the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The background and experience of each of our audit committee financial experts are set forth above.

 

Compensation Committee. The compensation committee’s responsibilities include: (1) determining the compensation of the chief executive officer and reviewing and approving the compensation of the other executive officers named pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (2) exercising all rights, authority and functions under all of our stock, retirement and other compensation plans, (3) approving and making recommendations to the Board regarding non-employee director compensation, (4) preparing an annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in our proxy statement or annual report on Form 10-K, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and (5) providing guidance and monitoring the formation and implementation of human resource management. The current members of the Old SAIC compensation committee are E.J. Sanderson, Jr. (Chair), W.H. Demisch, A.K. Jones and H.M.J. Kraemer, Jr. Our board of directors has determined that each member is an independent director under our corporate governance guidelines.

 

Ethics and Corporate Responsibility Committee. The ethics and corporate responsibility committee’s duties include: (1) reviewing and making recommendations regarding the ethical responsibilities of our employees and consultants under our administrative policies and procedures, (2) reviewing and assessing our policies and procedures addressing the resolution of conflicts of interest involving us, our employees, officers and directors and addressing any potential conflict of interest involving us and a director or an executive officer, (3) reviewing and establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding violation of our policies, procedures and standards related to ethical conduct and legal compliance and (4) reviewing and evaluating the effectiveness of our ethics, compliance and training programs and related administrative policies. The current members of the Old SAIC ethics and corporate responsibility committee are A.K. Jones (Chair), K.C. Dahlberg, J.A. Drummond, D.H. Foley and J.J. Hamre.

 

Finance Committee. The finance committee’s responsibilities include periodically reviewing and making recommendations to the board of directors and management concerning: (1) our capital structure, including the issuance of equity and debt securities, the incurrence of indebtedness, dividends and related matters, (2) general financial planning, including cash flow and working capital management, capital budgeting and expenditures, tax planning and compliance and related matters, (3) mergers, acquisitions and strategic transactions, (4) proposed offers for the purchase or acquisition of our stock or assets, (5) investor relations programs and policies, (6) investment policies, financial performance and funding of our employee benefit and pension plans and (7) any other transactions or financial issues that the board of directors or management would like the committee to review. The current members of the finance committee of Old SAIC are L.A. Simpson (Chair), W.H. Demisch, E.J. Sanderson, Jr., J.P. Walkush and A.T. Young.

 

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee’s responsibilities include: (1) evaluating, identifying and recommending nominees to the board of directors, including nominees proposed by stockholders, (2) reviewing and making recommendations regarding the composition and procedures of the board of directors, (3) making recommendations regarding the size,

 

141


Table of Contents

composition and charters of the committees of the board of directors, (4) reviewing and developing long-range plans for chief executive officer and management succession, (5) developing and recommending to the board of directors a set of corporate governance principles, (6) recommending to the board an independent director to serve as the lead director, and (7) developing and overseeing an annual self-evaluation process of the board of directors and its committees. A.T. Young is currently the lead director. The current members of the Old SAIC nominating and corporate governance committee are J.A. Drummond (Chair), K.C. Dahlberg, J.J. Hamre, L.A. Simpson and A.T. Young. Our board of directors has determined that the following members of the Old SAIC nominating and corporate governance committee are independent under our corporate governance guidelines: J.A. Drummond, J.J. Hamre, L.A. Simpson and A.T. Young. Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, the membership of the nominating and corporate governance committee will be modified so that it will be comprised solely of independent directors.

 

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 

None of the members of our compensation committee has, at any time, been one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors or compensation committee.

 

Director Compensation

 

We intend to establish director compensation policies for New SAIC subsequent to the completion of the IPO that will be substantially similar to the existing policies of Old SAIC. However, where we have described director compensation previously consisting of shares of Old SAIC class A common stock, we instead expect to issue twice as many shares of New SAIC class A preferred stock, after giving effect to the conversion of each share of Old SAIC class A common stock into two shares of New SAIC class A preferred stock in the merger.

 

All non-employee directors are paid an annual retainer of $25,000 and the chairperson of a committee is paid an additional annual retainer of $10,000, except for the chairperson of the audit committee who is paid an additional annual retainer of $15,000. The lead director is also paid an additional annual retainer of $10,000. Non-employee directors also receive $1,500 for each meeting of the board of directors and $2,000 for each meeting of a committee on which they serve and are reimbursed for expenses incurred while attending meetings or otherwise performing services as a director. The directors are eligible to defer their fees into our Keystaff Deferral and Key Executive Stock Deferral Plans. In addition, a stock bonus of 1,000 shares of Old SAIC class A common stock is offered to independent director nominees as an inducement to join the board of directors.

 

Directors are eligible to receive stock options under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan. For services rendered as a director during fiscal 2006, W.H. Demisch, J.A. Drummond, J.J. Hamre, A.K. Jones, H.M.J. Kraemer, Jr., E.J. Sanderson, Jr. and A.T. Young each received options to purchase 11,000 shares of Old SAIC class A common stock at $43.92 per share, which was the stock price on the date of grant. All such options vest as to 20%, 20%, 20% and 40% on the first, second, third and fourth year anniversaries of the date of grant, respectively.

 

See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” for information with respect to transactions between us and certain persons related to or entities in which certain directors may be deemed to have an interest.

 

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

In conjunction with the IPO, we have entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and current executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our restated certificate of

 

142


Table of Contents

incorporation. These agreements, among other things, provide that we will indemnify, subject to applicable law and the terms thereof, our directors and executive officers for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or executive officer in any action or proceeding arising out of such person’s service as a director or executive officer of us or any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

We have not paid our executive officers any compensation for their service to New SAIC since its formation in August 2005. The following table sets forth information regarding the annual and long-term compensation for services to Old SAIC for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, of those persons who were, at January 31, 2006 (1) the Chief Executive Officer and (2) the other four most highly compensated executive officers of Old SAIC, all of whom are collectively referred to as our “Named Executive Officers.” The following summary compensation table sets forth the annual and long-term compensation earned by the Named Executive Officers for the relevant fiscal year, whether or not paid in such fiscal year:

Employment and Severance Agreements

 

Old SAIC and Mr. Dahlberg are parties to two letter agreements, each dated October 3, 2003 (Dahlberg Letter Agreements) pursuant to which Mr. Dahlberg serves as Old SAIC’s Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the Dahlberg Letter Agreements, Mr. Dahlberg received or will receive: (1) a base salary of $1,000,000 per year, (2) a cash sign-on bonus of $660,000, (3) an award of 84,545 shares of vesting Old SAIC class A common stock, (4) an award of a vesting option to purchase up to 225,000 shares of Old SAIC class A common stock, (5) reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with the relocation of Mr. Dahlberg and his family to our principal place of business, (6) a gross up to Mr. Dahlberg’s salary to cover the federal, state and local income and employment tax liability on the relocation benefits, (7) a country club membership, (8) first class seating for business travel, (9) up to $10,000 for financial planning and/or tax preparation within the first two years of employment and (10) disability insurance. The Dahlberg Letter Agreements provide that in the event Mr. Dahlberg’s employment is involuntarily terminated before November 2006, for reasons other than cause, we would continue Mr. Dahlberg’s base salary, target short-term bonus and benefits until November 2006. In order to receive these severance benefits, Mr. Dahlberg would be required to sign a release and a non-compete/non-solicitation agreement. At the end of the severance period, Mr. Dahlberg would be provided with at least two years of non-paid consulting status during which his unvested options and stock would continue to vest. For purposes of the Dahlberg Letter Agreements, “cause” is defined as (1) a willful failure to substantially perform his duties, (2) gross misconduct or (3) conviction of a felony.

 

Old SAIC has entered into severance agreements with all of its executive officers. The severance agreements provide that if the officer is involuntarily terminated without cause or resigns for good reason within a 24 month period following a change in control, the officer will be paid all accrued salary and a pro rata bonus for the year of termination and a single lump sum equal to three times the officer’s then current salary and bonus amount. The officer will also receive such life insurance, disability, medical, dental, hospitalization, financial counseling and tax consulting benefits as are provided to other similarly situated executives who continue in the employ of Old SAIC for the 36 months following termination and up to 12 months of outplacement counseling. Vesting will be accelerated as provided in Old SAIC’s various equity incentive and deferral plans. The officer is not entitled to receive a “gross up” payment to account for any excise tax that might be payable under the Internal Revenue Code, although he or she may elect to receive the full value of the severance payments and pay the excise tax or have the severance payments reduced to the extent necessary to avoid an excise tax.

Other than these agreements, we have not entered into any employment or severance agreements with our executive officers.

1999 Stock Incentive Plan

 

General. In 1999, our board of directors and stockholders approved the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan. The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan was adopted as a successor to our 1998 Stock Option Plan. The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan provides our and our affiliates’ employees, directors and consultants the opportunity to receive stock options, stock appreciation rights, vested stock awards, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards and other similar types of stock awards. Options granted under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan may be either “incentive stock options,” as defined under Section 422 of the Code or nonqualified stock options. The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan terminates on April 9, 2019, but no incentive stock options may be granted under the plan after April 9, 2009.

 

If the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan becomes effective, we will cease granting awards under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan. If the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan does not become effective, the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan will continue in operation pursuant to its terms.

 

Share Reserve. We are authorized to grant stock options and stock awards for the purchase of 6,000,000 shares of Old SAIC class A common stock, plus the shares described below, under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan. Shares of Old SAIC class A common stock available for issuance under the 1998 Stock Option Plan as of September 30, 1999 and shares of Old SAIC class A common stock subject to outstanding options under the 1998 Stock Option Plan as of September 30, 1999 that may be returned to us because the options are forfeited, expire or are canceled without delivery of shares of stock, the shares are retained to satisfy tax withholding on option exercises or the options result in the forfeiture of shares of stock back to us will continue to be available for issuance under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan.

 

Automatic Annual Increase of Share Reserve. The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan provides that the share reserve will be cumulatively increased for each year after 1999 by a number of shares that is equal to 5% of the outstanding shares of Old SAIC class A common stock as of the first business day of each calendar year, provided that in no event will the number of shares authorized for issuance exceed 15% of the outstanding shares of Old SAIC class A common stock. If the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan becomes effective, this annual share increase will cease.

 

Administration. The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan is administered by our board of directors or a committee or employee as the board of directors may appoint to administer the plan. The board, board committee or employee is referred in the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan as the administrator.

 

Eligibility. Awards under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan may be granted to our employees, directors and consultants. Incentive stock options may be granted only to our employees. The administrator determines the individuals who are granted awards under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan.

 

Nontransferability of Awards. Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, awards granted under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan are not transferable except to a designated beneficiary upon death and may be exercised during the awardee’s lifetime only by the awardee or by his or her legal representative.

 

Right of Repurchase. Pursuant to Old SAIC’s certificate of incorporation, all shares of Old SAIC class A common stock acquired pursuant to awards under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan are subject to our right of repurchase upon the participant’s termination of employment or affiliation with us at the then prevailing Formula Price of shares of Old SAIC class A common stock. These restrictions will lapse following the completion of the merger.

Table of Contents

Stock Options. An option represents the right to purchase shares of Old SAIC class A common stock upon the payment of a pre-established exercise price. The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the administrator to determine the exercise price of options at the time the options are granted. Unless otherwise specified in an award agreement, the exercise price will be the fair market value of Old SAIC class A common stock on the date of the grant. The exercise price of an incentive stock option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our class A common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of a nonqualified stock option may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of our class A common stock on the date of grant. The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the administrator to determine the vesting schedule applicable to options, as well as the means of payment for shares issued on exercise of an option. The term of an option may be no more than ten years from the date of grant, except that an incentive stock option granted to a 10% stockholder may not have a term of more than five years. No option may be exercised after the expiration of its term.

 

Stock Awards. Stock awards may be restricted stock awards, vested stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance awards or other similar stock awards. Restricted stock awards and vested stock awards are grants of a specific number of shares of our class A common stock that either vest or have restrictions that lapse over time in accordance with a vesting schedule. Restricted stock units represent a promise to deliver shares of our class A common stock, or an amount of cash or property equal to the value of the underlying shares, at a future date. Stock appreciation rights are rights to receive cash and/or shares of our class A common stock based on the amount by which the fair market value of a specific number of shares of our class A common stock on the exercise date exceeds the exercise price established by the administrator. Performance awards are rights to receive amounts, in cash or shares of class A common stock, based upon our or a participant’s performance during the period between the date of grant and a pre-established future date. The terms and conditions of a stock award will be found in an award agreement. Vesting and restrictions on the ability to exercise stock awards may be conditioned upon the achievement of one or more goals, as determined by the administrator in its discretion. Recipients of restricted shares may have voting rights and may receive dividends on the granted shares prior to the time the restrictions lapse.

 

Change in Control. The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan provides that, except as provided in an award agreement, outstanding awards will become fully vested upon the occurrence of a change of control. The merger will not constitute a change of control.

 

Amendment and Termination. Our board of directors may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan. However, no amendment may, without stockholder approval, increase the maximum number of shares for which awards may be granted or change the class of employees eligible to participate in the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan.

 

2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

General. In 2004, our board of directors and stockholders approved the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was adopted as a successor to our 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides our employees with an opportunity to purchase Old SAIC class A common stock through voluntary payroll deductions. The 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan terminates on July 31, 2007, unless earlier terminated by our board of directors.

 

If the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan becomes effective, we will cease issuing shares under the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. If the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan does not become effective, the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will continue in operation pursuant to its terms.

 

Share Reserve. We have reserved a total of 6,000,000 shares of Old SAIC class A common stock for purchase under the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Compensation Plan provides for the grant of annual and long-term bonuses and other stock- and cash-based performance awards. If the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan becomes effective, we will cease granting awards under the Restated Bonus Compensation Plan. If the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan does not become effective, the Restated Bonus Compensation Plan will continue in effect until terminated by our board of directors.

 

Authorized Awards. The Restated Bonus Compensation Plan authorizes the grant to eligible participants of bonus awards in each of our fiscal years with an aggregate fair market value of up to the bonus pool for that year. The bonus pool for each fiscal year is established by the committee of our board of directors administering the Restated Bonus Compensation Plan, but may not exceed 7.5% of our consolidated revenue for the year. The maximum fair market value of awards that may be granted to any individual during a fiscal year under the Restated Bonus Compensation Plan is $25,000,000. Bonus awards may be denominated in cash or shares of Old SAIC class A common stock, or any combination of cash and stock.

 

Administration. The Restated Bonus Compensation Plan is administered by a committee of our board of directors as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Bonus Compensation Plan.

 

Eligibility. Employees, directors and consultants of us and our affiliates are eligible to participate in the Restated Bonus Compensation Plan. The committee, in its discretion, determines the eligible individuals who will be granted bonus awards.

 

Form of Bonus Award. Bonus awards under the Restated Bonus Compensation Plan may be granted in the form of cash, restricted stock or vested stock. Restricted stock awards are grants of Old SAIC shares of class A common stock subject generally to forfeiture and transfer restrictions which lapse in accordance with a vesting schedule or upon the satisfaction of specified conditions. Vested stock awards are grants of shares of Old SAIC class A common stock that have rights that vest in accordance with a vesting schedule or upon the satisfaction of specified conditions. The vesting schedule or conditions are established by the committee at the time of grant.

 

Bonus Programs. Awards under the Restated Bonus Compensation Plan are granted under one of several programs, as described below:

 

    CEO Bonus Program. The CEO bonus program provides for the grant of bonus awards to employees who are involved in corporate development or administration or are senior employees. Awards are made upon recommendation of our chief executive officer and may be granted up to the aggregate amount of the CEO bonus fund for the year.

 

    Group Bonus Program. The group bonus fund provides for the grant of bonus awards to individuals who contribute to the success of each of our major operating groups. Awards are granted upon recommendation of each group manager and may be granted up to the amount of the group bonus fund for the year.

 

    Performance Awards. Performance awards are rights to receive amounts, in cash or shares of Old SAIC class A common stock, based upon our or a participant’s performance during the period between the date of grant and a pre-established future date.

 

Nontransferability. Except as otherwise provided in the award agreement, bonus awards granted pursuant to the Restated Bonus Compensation Plan are not transferable except to a designated beneficiary upon death. All shares of Old SAIC class A common stock acquired pursuant to bonus awards under the Restated Bonus Compensation Plan are subject to our right of repurchase upon the participant’s termination of employment or affiliation with us at the then prevailing Formula Price.

Awards Held in Trust. Within a reasonable period of time following the date of an award, we contribute to a trust fund, formed for purposes of the Management Stock Compensation Plan, shares of Old SAIC class A common stock or an amount of money sufficient for the trustee to purchase shares of Old SAIC class A common stock corresponding to the share units awarded.

New awards issued on or after January 1, 2006 will generally vest 100% at the end of the fourth year following the date of award. Vesting ceases upon termination of the awardee’s employment for any reason other than death of the awardee. In the event of the death of an awardee, all of his or her accounts become immediately vested. The unvested portion of an awardee’s account upon termination of employment is immediately forfeited by the awardee, and the unvested shares are returned to us or reallocated in accordance with the committee’s directions and the terms of the trust.

2006 Equity Incentive Plan

 

In August 2005, our board of directors adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, which as subsequently amended is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C. The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options (including incentive stock options, as defined in section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, and nonstatutory stock options), restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and other similar types of awards (including other awards under which recipients are not required to pay any purchase or exercise price, such as phantom stock rights), as well as cash awards. New SAIC stock subject to the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan will either be our new class A preferred stock or new common stock as determined by the committee of our board of directors administering the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan will not become effective until approved by our stockholders, which approval we are seeking in this proxy statement/prospectus. For a discussion of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan see “Proposal II—2006 Equity Incentive Plan.”

 

2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

In August 2005, our board of directors adopted the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which as subsequently amended is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D. The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides our employees (and the employees of any of our majority-owned subsidiaries designated by our board of directors) with an opportunity to purchase new class A preferred stock (or new common stock as determined by the compensation committee of our board of directors) through accumulated payroll deductions at a discounted purchase price. The 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will become effective on the date on which the first offering period commences as determined by the compensation committee, subject to the closing of the merger and stockholder approval, which approval we are seeking in this proxy statement/prospectus. For a discussion of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan see “Proposal III—2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.”

 

Continued Vesting on Vesting Stock and Options for Retirees

 

Certain qualifying retirees may continue holding and vesting in their vesting stock (including units of vesting stock held in the Key Executive Stock Deferral Plan) and stock options after retirement, if they have held such securities for at least 12 months prior to retirement. Qualifying retirement is defined as terminating service with us (1) after age 59 1/2 with at least ten years of service with us, (2) after age 59 1/2 when age at termination plus years of service with us equals at least 70 or (3) after reaching the applicable mandatory retirement age regardless of their length of service with us for officers and directors subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange of 1934, so-called “Section 16 Officers and Directors.” We have the right to terminate this continued vesting in certain circumstances. We also have the right to repurchase shares held by retirees after their options are exercised and/or their shares are fully vested. If a retiree is a participant in our Alumni Program (a program for eligible retirees where we have no repurchase right on their shares during the first five years after termination, but would have the right to repurchase the shares during the second five years on an established schedule with the ability to accelerate the repurchase during the second five years), we have the right to repurchase shares held by the retiree upon the termination of the retiree’s participation in the Alumni Program. The policy change was implemented for all unvested stock and options awarded after July 1, 2004.

However, for Section 16 Officers and Directors retiring after reaching mandatory retirement age, this policy change applies to all unvested stock and options held by them, regardless of when the vesting stock and options were awarded.

 

Deferred Compensation Plans

 

We maintain two deferred compensation plans, the Keystaff Deferral Plan and the Key Executive Stock Deferral Plan, for the benefit of key executives and directors that allow eligible participants to elect to defer all or a portion of their annual bonus compensation. We make no contributions under the Keystaff Deferral Plan but do credit participant accounts for deferred compensation amounts and interest earned. Interest is accrued based on the Moody’s Seasoned Corporate Bond Rate (5.59% in 2006). Deferred balances will generally be paid upon termination. Under the Key Executive Stock Deferral Plan, eligible participants may elect to defer all or a portion of their annual bonus compensation. We make no contributions to the accounts of participants, which generally correspond to shares of Old SAIC class A common stock held in a trust for the benefit of participants. Deferred balances will generally be paid upon retirement or termination.

 

Employee Stock Retirement Plan

 

Prior to adoption of the SAIC Retirement Plan in January 2006, we maintained an Employee Stock Retirement Plan (ESRP), in which eligible employees participated. Cash or stock contributions to the ESRP were based upon amounts determined annually by our board of directors and were allocated to participants’ accounts based on their annual eligible compensation. We recognized the fair value of Old SAIC class A common stock or the amount of cash contributed in the year of contribution as compensation expense. The vesting requirements for the ESRP were the same as the vesting requirements for our contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Any participant who left us, whether by retirement or otherwise, was able to elect to receive either cash or shares of our common stock as a distribution from their account. Shares of Old SAIC class A common stock distributed from the ESRP bore a limited put right that, if exercised, required us to repurchase all or a portion of the shares at their then current fair value during two specified 60-day periods following distribution. If the shares were not put to us during the specified periods, the shares no longer bore a put right, and we were not required to repurchase the shares.

 

401(k) Plan

 

Prior to adoption of the SAIC Retirement Plan in January 2006, we maintained a principal 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (401(k) Plan), which was the result of the merger of our Profit Sharing Retirement Plan with our Cash or Deferred Arrangement effective November 28, 2003. The 401(k) Plan was qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and its associated trust was exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code. The 401(k) Plan allowed eligible participants to defer a portion of their income through payroll deductions. Such deferrals were fully vested, were not taxable to the participant until distributed from the 401(k) Plan upon termination, retirement, permanent disability or death and could be matched by us. In addition, we could also provide a profit sharing contribution. Participants’ interests in our matching and profit sharing contributions vested ratably over five years. Participants also became fully vested upon reaching age 59 1/2, permanent disability or death.

 

SAIC Retirement Plan

 

Effective January 1 2006, Old SAIC adopted the SAIC Retirement Plan, which is the result of the merger of our ESRP with our 401(k) Plan. The plan is a combined 401(k) plan and an employee stock ownership plan

 

155


Table of Contents

(ESOP). The plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and its associated trust is exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code. The ESOP feature of the plan is intended to qualify under Sections 401(a) and 4975(e)(7) of the Code and is designed as such to invest primarily in company stock. The plan allows eligible participants to defer a portion of their income through payroll deductions. Such deferrals are fully vested, are not taxable to the participant until distributed from the plan upon termination, retirement, permanent disability or death and may be matched by us. In addition, we may also provide a profit sharing and/or ESOP contribution. Cash or stock contributions to the plan are based upon amounts determined annually by our board of directors and are allocated to participants’ accounts based on their annual eligible compensation. We recognize the fair value of Old SAIC class A common stock or the amount of cash contributed in the year of contribution as compensation expense. Participants’ interests in our matching, profit sharing and ESOP contributions vest ratably over five years. Participants also become fully vested upon reaching age 59 1/2, permanent disability or death. We currently provide a matching 50% contribution for each dollar an employee contributes to the plan, up to a certain percentage of the employee’s eligible compensation. Any participant who leaves us, whether by retirement or otherwise, may be able to elect to take a distribution in shares of our common stock from the balances of their account invested in our stock. Shares of Old SAIC class A common stock distributed from the plan bear a limited put right that, if exercised, would require us to repurchase all or a portion of the shares at their then current fair value during two specified 60-day periods following distribution. If the shares are not put to us during the specified periods, the shares no longer bear a put right, and we will not be required to repurchase the shares. Although we have no current intention to do so, if necessary, we believe we have the ability to eliminate the limited put right feature on shares held by the plan.

Transfer restrictions

  Subject to a right of first refusal by Old SAIC. A limited internal market is maintained, which permits stockholders to offer for sale class A common stock on predetermined trade dates and at prices determined by our board of directors.  

Class A preferred stock may not be transferred to anyone other than a permitted transferee until the following restriction periods have expired:

•   series A-1 preferred stock: 90 days after our IPO

•   series A-2 preferred stock: 180 days after our IPO

•   series A-3 preferred stock: 270 days after our IPO

•   series A-4 preferred stock: 360 days after our IPO.

 

Class A preferred stock that is transferred after expiration of the applicable restriction period to someone who is not a “permitted transferee” automatically will convert into new common stock. A “permitted transferee” of an employee includes the employee’s immediate family members or a trust established by that employee for the sole benefit of one or more of his or her immediate family members.

Mergers or consolidations

 

In the event we merge, consolidate or enter into a business combination, other than a transaction in which we are the survivor and does not result in any reclassification or change in the outstanding shares, the consideration to be received with respect to each class B share must equal 20 times the consideration to be received with respect to each class A share. In any such transaction in which shares of capital stock are distributed, they may differ as to the rights of the holders thereof to the extent and only to the extent that such rights differ as set forth in Old SAIC’s certificate of incorporation.

  In the event of any merger or consolidation to which New SAIC is a party (whether or not New SAIC is the surviving entity), the holders of class A preferred stock and new common stock will be entitled to receive, on a per share basis, the same amount and form of stock and other securities and property (including cash).

Dividends and other distributions

  Subject to the rights of the holders of preferred stock, holders of class A and class B common stock are entitled to receive dividends in cash, stock or otherwise as our board of directors may declare from time to time out of our legally available assets or funds, provided that any dividend declared and paid with respect to each class B share shall be equal to 20 times the per share dividend declared and paid with respect to each class A share.   Subject to the rights of any other series of preferred stock that may come into existence from time to time, the holders of class A preferred stock and the holders of new common stock will be entitled to share equally, on a per share basis, in such dividends and other distributions of cash, property or shares of New SAIC as may be declared thereon by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor, provided, however, that in the event such dividend is paid in the form of shares of capital stock or rights to acquire capital stock, the holders of class A preferred stock shall receive class A preferred stock or rights to acquire class A preferred stock, as the case may be, and the holders of new common stock shall receive new common stock or rights to acquire new common stock, as the case may be.

Subdivisions or combinations

  Neither class may be subdivided, consolidated, reclassified or otherwise changed unless the relative powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions applicable to the other class are maintained.   If New SAIC shall in any manner split, subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of new class A preferred stock, the outstanding shares of the new common stock shall be proportionately split, subdivided or combined in the same manner and on the same basis; and if New SAIC shall in any manner split, subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of new common stock, the outstanding shares of new class A preferred stock shall be proportionately split, subdivided or combined in the same manner and on the same basis.

Liquidation

  Subject to the rights of any series of preferred stock that may come into existence from time to time, in the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Old SAIC, the holders of class A common stock and the holders of class B common stock will be entitled to share, equally and ratably, all assets and funds of whatever kind available for distribution to the holders of common stock; provided, however, that the amount of such assets and funds distributed with respect to each class B share will be equal to 20 times the per share amount distributed with respect to each class A share.   Subject to the rights of any other series of preferred stock that may come into existence from time to time, in the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of New SAIC, the holders of new class A preferred stock and the holders of new common stock will be entitled to share equally, on a per share basis, all assets of whatever kind available for distribution to the holders of capital stock.

Additional Preferred Stock

 

We have authorized 10 million shares of undesignated preferred stock. Our board of directors has the authority to issue shares of this preferred stock, from time to time, on terms that it may determine, in one or more series, and to fix the designations, voting powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights of each series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of each series, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The issuance of shares of our undesignated preferred stock could have the effect of decreasing the market price of our common stock, impeding or delaying a possible takeover and adversely affecting the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. We have no present intention to issue shares of our undesignated preferred stock.

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Delaware Law and New SAIC’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws

 

Our current certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and New SAIC’s restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws, contain provisions that may have some anti-takeover effects. Provisions of Delaware law may have similar effects under both our current certificate of incorporation and New SAIC’s restated certificate of incorporation.

 

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

 

We are now, and New SAIC will be, subject to Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Subject to specific exceptions, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the time of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:

 

    the “business combination,” or the transaction in which the stockholder became an “interested stockholder” is approved by the board of directors prior to the time the “interested stockholder” attained that status, or

 

    upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an “interested stockholder,” the “interested stockholder” owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (excluding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer), or

 

    at or subsequent to the time a person became an “interested stockholder,” the “business combination” is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the “interested stockholder”

 

“Business combinations” include mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the “interested stockholder.” Subject to various exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with his or her affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock based on the percentage of the votes of such voting stock. These restrictions could prohibit or delay the accomplishment of mergers or other takeover or change-in-control attempts with respect to us and, therefore, may discourage attempts to acquire us.

 

In addition, various provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and New SAIC’s restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws, which are summarized in the following paragraphs, may be

 

164


Table of Contents

deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders.

 

Mergers with Related Persons

 

Our certificate of incorporation and New SAIC’s restated certificate of incorporation generally require that mergers and certain other business combinations between us and a related person must be approved by the holders of securities having 80% of our outstanding voting power, as well as by the holders of a majority of the voting power of such securities that are not owned by the related person. A “related person” means any holder of 5% or more of our outstanding voting power. Under Delaware law, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, only a majority of our outstanding voting power is required to approve certain of these transactions, such as mergers and consolidations, while certain other of these transactions would not require stockholder approval.

 

These requirements of our certificate of incorporation and New SAIC’s restated certificate of incorporation do not and will not, apply, however, to a business combination with a related person, if the transaction:

 

    is approved by our board of directors before the related person acquired beneficial ownership of 5% or more of our outstanding voting power, or

 

    is approved by a majority of the members of our board of directors who are not affiliated with the related person and who were directors before the related person became a related person, or

 

    involves only us and one or more of our subsidiaries and certain other conditions are satisfied

 

No Stockholder Action by Written Consent; Calling of Special Meetings of Stockholders

 

Our certificate of incorporation and New SAIC’s restated certificate of incorporation prohibit stockholder action by written consent. They also provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the board of directors, a majority of the board of directors or a committee designated by the board of directors.

 

Advance Notice Requirements For Stockholder Proposals

 

Our bylaws and New SAIC’s restated bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders, including the nomination of persons for election to the board of directors, must provide timely notice of their proposal in writing to the corporate secretary. Under New SAIC’s restated bylaws, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice generally must be delivered or mailed and received at our principal offices not later than the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by New SAIC). These provisions may impede stockholders’ ability to bring matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or make nominations for directors at an annual meeting of stockholders.

 

Authorized but Unissued Shares

 

New SAIC’s authorized but unissued shares of new common stock, new class A preferred stock and undesignated preferred stock will be available for future issuance without your approval. We may issue these

 

165


Table of Contents

additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including raising additional capital, making acquisitions or joint ventures and incentivizing employees. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of new common stock, new class A preferred stock and undesignated preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

 

Supermajority Provisions

 

The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, unless the certificate of incorporation requires a greater percentage.

 

Our current certificate of incorporation provides that the following provisions may be amended only by a vote of at least two-thirds of the in voting power of the outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote:

 

    the authority of the board of directors to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind the bylaws

 

    the provisions relating to the number, classification, election and removal of the directors

 

    the provisions relating to the inability of stockholders to act by written consent or call special meetings

 

    the provisions requiring approval of two-thirds of the voting power of our stock entitled to vote on the foregoing

 

In addition, our current certificate of incorporation and the restated certificate of incorporation of New SAIC provide that, under certain circumstances, any amendment of the article related to business combinations requires (1) the vote of at least 80% in voting power of all of the outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote and (2) the vote of at least a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote other than shares of voting stock that are beneficially owned by a related person that directly proposed such amendment.

 

The restated certificate of incorporation of New SAIC requires a two-thirds vote of the stockholders to amend any of the provisions relating to the number of directors and the establishment of classes of directors for purposes of director elections, stockholders acting by written consent, the calling of special meetings or any amendment of the restated bylaws of New SAIC by the stockholders.

 

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties. Our certificate of incorporation and New SAIC’s restated certificate of incorporation include a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

 

    for breach of duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders

 

    for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law

 

    under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware

 

    for transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit

 

Our certificate of incorporation and New SAIC’s restated certificate of incorporation provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State

 

166


Table of Contents

of Delaware, subject to limited exceptions, and under specified circumstances advance and pay their expenses in defending any proceedings to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law. We are authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance providing indemnification for our directors, officers and certain employees and to enter into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. We currently maintain certain directors and officers’ coverage, and we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors, executive officers and board-appointed officers. We believe that these indemnification provisions and indemnification agreements and this insurance are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of defense, settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

Mellon Investor Services LLC will be the transfer agent and registrar for new class A preferred stock and new common stock.

MARKET FOR OLD SAIC STOCK AND

RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

The following description of Old SAIC’s limited market, the method of determining prices and the historical prices of our class A common stock is provided to better enable you to compare our current stock system with the revised capital structure and terms of the new class A preferred stock and new common stock following the merger and IPO.

 

The Limited Market

 

Since its inception, Old SAIC has followed a policy of remaining essentially employee owned. As a result, there has never been a general public market for any of our securities. In order to provide some liquidity for our stockholders, however, Old SAIC has historically maintained a limited secondary market, which we call the limited market, through our wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary, Bull, Inc.

 

The limited market has permitted existing stockholders to offer for sale shares of class A common stock on predetermined days which we call a trade date. Historically, there have been four trade dates each year. However, a scheduled trade date could be postponed or cancelled. When we announced our intention to conduct the IPO in September 2005, we postponed a limited market trade originally scheduled for September 2005 to October 2005, and also stated at that time that we believed the October 2005 trade would be the last one conducted before completion of the IPO. However, after the December 2005 postponement of the special meeting of stockholders and the announced delay in our IPO schedule, we conducted a limited market trade in January 2006.

 

We now plan to complete the IPO in the Fall of 2006. The last limited market trade prior to the proposed IPO occurred on June 30, 2006. If, however, the IPO is postponed, we intend to conduct a limited market trade at the same time as the retirement plans trades until the IPO process recommences. A retirement plans trade has been scheduled for October 27, 2006 and at least three additional retirement plans trade dates will be announced, at which time limited market trades also may be held if the IPO is postponed.

 

In these trades, participants may offer to buy or sell shares in accordance with the terms of the plans. In addition, we intend to conduct four scheduled trades directly between us and our retirement plans following completion of the IPO in which participants may offer to buy or sell shares in accordance with the terms of the plans. In all these retirement plans trades, we will have the right, but not the obligation, to buy the net balance of shares offered by participants in our retirement plans. In addition, following the IPO, our retirement plans will have the opportunity to convert shares of new class A preferred stock into new common stock and sell those shares into the public market to the extent permissible under the transfer restrictions on the new class A preferred stock.

 

All sales and purchases are made at the prevailing price of the class A common stock determined by the board of directors or its stock policy committee pursuant to the valuation process described below. All participants who wish to participate in a particular trade must submit a trade request in the form of a limit order. A limit order is a request to buy stock at or below the limit price specified by the person placing the order or a request to sell stock at any price equal to or above the limit price specified. A limit order will not be processed if the limit price is not satisfied by the price established by the board of directors unless the order is modified. A participant may not submit both a buy limit order and a sell limit order on the same account for the same trade.

 

168


Table of Contents

The purchase of class A common stock in the limited market is currently restricted to:

 

    current employees of Old SAIC and eligible subsidiaries who desire to purchase class A common stock in an amount that does not exceed a pre-approved limit established by the board of directors or a designated committee of the board, currently $20,000

 

    current employees, consultants and non-employee directors of Old SAIC and eligible subsidiaries who have been specifically approved by the board of directors or its designated committee or subcommittee to purchase a specified number of shares which may exceed the pre-approved limit

 

    trustees or agents of the retirement and benefit plans of Old SAIC and its eligible subsidiaries

 

These employees, consultants, directors, trustees and agents are referred to as authorized buyers. No one, other than these authorized buyers, is eligible to purchase class A common stock in the limited market.

 

The following shares of class A common stock, with certain exceptions, may not be sold in the limited market:

 

    shares acquired through an option exercise or a vested stock bonus less than six months prior to sale

 

    shares acquired through a vesting stock bonus that vested less than six months prior to sale

 

If the aggregate number of shares offered for sale in the limited market on any trade date is greater than the aggregate number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers, offers by stockholders to sell 2,000 or less shares of class A common stock (or up to the first 2,000 shares if more than 2,000 shares of class A common stock are offered by any such stockholder) will be accepted first. Offers to sell shares in excess of 2,000 shares of class A common stock will be accepted on a pro-rata basis determined by dividing the total number of shares remaining under purchase orders by the total number of shares remaining under sell orders. If, however, there are insufficient purchase orders to support the primary allocation of 2,000 shares of class A common stock for each proposed seller, then the purchase orders will be allocated equally among all of the proposed sellers up to the total number of shares offered for sale.

 

We are currently authorized, but not obligated, to purchase shares of class A common stock in the limited market on any trade date, but only if and to the extent that the number of shares offered for sale by stockholders exceeds the number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers, and we, in our discretion, determine to make such purchases. However, the number of shares we may purchase in the limited market on any given trade date is subject to legal and contractual restrictions. Under Delaware law, we may repurchase our shares only out of available surplus. In addition, financial covenants under our credit agreement or agreements we enter into in the future may restrict our ability to repurchase shares. In deciding whether to make such purchases, we will consider a variety of factors, including our cash position and cash flows, investment and capital activities, financial performance, financial covenants, the number of shares outstanding and the amount of the undersubscription in the market. We have purchased a significant amount of class A common stock in the limited market during recent periods. We purchased a total of 8,359,372 shares on the trade dates in fiscal 2006 and a total of 9,331,128 shares on the trade dates in fiscal 2005. These purchases accounted for 64.4% and 75.4%, respectively, of the total shares purchased by all buyers in the limited market during fiscal 2006 and 2005. Our purchases balanced the number of shares offered for sale by stockholders with the number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers. We may not continue to purchase such excess shares in the future. Accordingly, if the aggregate number of shares offered for sale in the limited market exceeds the aggregate number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers, and we elect not to participate in a trade or otherwise limit our participation in a trade, our stockholders may be unable to sell all the shares they desire to sell in the limited market. Because no other market exists for our stock, our stockholders may be unable to sell all the shares they

 

169


Table of Contents

desire to sell. In addition, if a limited market trade were undersubscribed and prorated or the liquidity of our stock in the limited market were otherwise impaired, the stock price, as set by the board of directors, could be adversely impacted because the independent appraiser could apply or increase any liquidity discount used in valuing our stock.

 

During fiscal 2006 and 2005, the trustees of certain of our retirement and benefit plans purchased an aggregate of 1,875,484 and 2,294,161 shares, respectively, in the limited market. These purchases accounted for approximately 14.4% and 18.5% of the total shares purchased by all buyers in the limited market during fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. Such purchases may change in the future, depending on the levels of participation in and contributions to such plans and the extent to which such contributions are invested in class A common stock. In addition, the trustees of our retirement plans are not permitted to purchase shares of our class A common stock in the limited market unless the stock price established by the board of directors is determined in good faith by the plan fiduciaries, in reliance on an appraisal by an independent appraiser, to be the fair market value of the shares. The inability of the retirement plans to purchase shares in the limited market could adversely impact the liquidity of our stock.

 

To the extent that purchases by the trustees of our retirement and benefit plans decrease, and purchases by us decrease or do not increase, the ability of stockholders to resell their shares in the limited market would likely be adversely affected. Although all shares of class A common stock offered for sale were sold in the limited market on each trade date occurring during fiscal 2006 and 2005, a stockholder desiring to sell all or a portion of his or her shares of our class A common stock on any future trade date in the limited market may not be able to do so.

 

To the extent that the aggregate number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers exceeds the aggregate number of shares offered for sale by stockholders, we may, but are not obligated to, sell authorized but unissued shares of class A common stock in the limited market. In making this determination, we will consider a variety of factors, including our cash position and cash flows, investment and capital activities, financial performance, financial covenants, the number of shares outstanding and the amount of the over subscription in the limited market. The final determination is not made before the trade date. In fiscal 2006 and 2005, we did not sell any shares of class A common stock in the limited market as the number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers did not exceed the number of shares offered for sale by stockholders. To the extent that we choose not to sell authorized but unissued shares of class A common stock in the limited market, the ability of individuals to purchase shares in the limited market may be adversely affected. We cannot assure our stockholders that they will be able to buy shares of our class A common stock on any future trade date in the limited market.

 

Price Determination of Old SAIC Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock

 

Valuation Process

 

Our board of directors has historically determined the price of the class A common stock using the valuation process described below. In establishing the stock price, the board of directors considers a broad range of valuation data and financial information, including analysis provided by Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Financial Advisors, Inc., or HLHZ, our independent appraisal firm. The board also considers valuation data and financial information relating to publicly traded companies considered by our appraiser to be comparable to Old SAIC or relevant to the valuation of our stock. The valuation process includes the valuation formula set forth below, which has an earnings component and an equity component and includes a variable called the market factor. After considering the analysis of the independent appraisal firm and other valuation data and information,

Table of Contents

the board of directors sets the market factor at the value that causes the formula to yield a stock price that the board believes represents a fair market value for the class A common stock within a broad range of financial criteria. The stock price and market factor, as determined by the board of directors, remain in effect until subsequently changed by the board of directors or its designated committee.

 

The class A common stock is traded in the limited market maintained by Bull, Inc. at the stock price determined by the board of directors. In accordance with our current certificate of incorporation, the price of the class B common stock is equal to 20 times the stock price applicable to the class A common stock.

 

Role of Appraiser

 

In conjunction with the board of directors’ valuation process, HLHZ performs an appraisal of our class A common stock using market multiple analysis of comparable public companies as part of its methodology to value Old SAIC as a whole and major business areas of Old SAIC.

 

In its appraisal of our stock, HLHZ may apply, and from time to time has applied, a liquidity discount based on its assessment of the liquidity provided by the limited market. HLHZ provides substantial valuation data and analysis, which the board relies upon, among other factors, in establishing the stock price. The data and analysis include the reasonable range of fair market value established by the appraisers. In establishing the range of fair market value, the appraiser considers, among other things, the volatility of the stock prices and implied volatility of stock options of the comparable companies and any significant publicly traded securities that we may own. After the board has established the stock price, HLHZ reviews the price and provides an opinion letter to the board of directors and the Old SAIC retirement plans committee as to whether the stock price appears to reflect the fair market value of our stock. The trustees of our retirement plans are not permitted to purchase shares of our class A common stock unless the stock price established by the board of directors is determined in good faith by the plan fiduciaries, in reliance on an appraisal by an independent appraiser, among other factors, to be the fair market value of the shares. If the trustees of our retirement plans are not permitted to purchase shares of our class A common stock, the liquidity of our stock and our stock price would be adversely impacted.

 

Stock Price Formula

 

The following formula is used in the valuation method:

 

The price per share is equal to the sum of:

 

(1) a fraction, the numerator of which is our stockholders’ equity at the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date on which a price determination is to occur, adjusted to reflect the value of our publicly traded equity securities classified as investments in marketable securities, as well as the profit or loss impact, if any, on stockholders’ equity arising from investment activities, non-recurring gains or losses on sales of business units, subsidiary common stock or similar transactions closed, as of the valuation date (“E”), and the denominator of which is the number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents at the end of such fiscal quarter (“W1”) and

 

(2) a fraction, the numerator of which is 5.66 multiplied by the market factor (“M” or “market factor”), multiplied by our operating income for the four fiscal quarters immediately preceding the price determination, net of taxes, excluding investment activities, losses on impaired intangible assets, non-recurring gains or losses on sales of business units, subsidiary common stock and similar items, and including our equity in the income or loss of unconsolidated affiliates and the minority interest in income or

 

171


Table of Contents

loss of consolidated subsidiaries (“P”), and the denominator of which is the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents for those four fiscal quarters, as used by us in computing diluted earnings per share (“W”).

 

The formula, shown as an equation, is as follows:

 

Stock Price =

 

E


  +  

5.66MP


    W1       W

 

The number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents described above in the formula assumes that each share of class B common stock is converted into 20 shares of class A common stock.

 

The board of directors first used a valuation formula in establishing the price of the class A common stock in 1972. The valuation formula has periodically been modified ever since. The market factor concept was first added to the formula in 1973. The 5.66 factor was added to the formula in 1976 as a constant to cause the price generated by the formula to reflect a fair market value of the class A common stock. In 1984, the board of directors, with the assistance of an outside appraisal firm, began its current practice of establishing the value of the market factor to reflect the broad range of business, financial and market forces that also affect the fair market value of the class A common stock. In 2001, the board of directors approved the modifications of the definitions of the “E” or the stockholders’ equity component and “P” or the earnings component of the formula. Before approving these changes to the formula, the board of directors consulted with HLHZ and then determined that these definitional changes were appropriate and that our valuation process would continue to generate a fair market value of the class A common stock within a broad range of financial criteria.

 

Other Valuation Considerations

 

In determining the price of the class A common stock, the board of directors considers many relevant factors, including:

 

    valuation input from HLHZ

 

    the performance of the general securities markets and relevant industry groups

 

    our historical financial performance versus comparable public companies

 

    the prospects for our future performance

 

    the value of our investments

 

    general economic conditions

 

    general capital market considerations

 

    other factors the board of directors deems appropriate

 

Although orders to buy or sell shares of class A common stock in the limited market must be entered prior to the board’s determination of the stock price, this information is not made available to the board of directors and is not a consideration in determining the price. However, if we elect not to purchase shares in the limited market to fully balance an undersubscribed trade, this could impact both the current and subsequent valuations of our stock.

Review of Stock Price

 

Our board of directors has historically reviewed the stock price at least four times each year, generally during its regularly scheduled board meetings, approximately one week before the four predetermined trade dates. Due to the uncertainty of the completion date of the IPO, the limited market trades and retirement plan transactions have not occurred on a regular basis and the stock price has only been reviewed by the board of directors as necessary to support such trades. When a trade does occur, the board of directors reviews the stock price during the period between a board meeting and the trade date to determine whether the stock price continues to represent a fair market value, and if necessary, modifies the price. The board of directors has authorized its stock policy committee to conduct this review, and, in some instances, the stock policy committee has conducted this review.

 

Modification of Valuation Process

 

The board of directors has broad discretion to modify the valuation process. However, the board of directors does not anticipate changing the valuation process unless:

 

    a change in the formula or any other aspect of the valuation process used to value the class A common stock is required under applicable law

 

    in the good faith exercise of its fiduciary duties and after consultation with our independent accountants as to whether the change would result in a charge to earnings upon the sale of class A common stock, the board of directors, including a majority of the directors who are not our employees, determines that the valuation process no longer results in a fair market value for the class A common stock

 

    in the good faith exercise of its fiduciary duties, the board of directors, including a majority of directors who are not our employees, after consulting with an independent appraisal firm, determines that a change in the formula or any other aspect of the valuation process is appropriate and that the stock price established by the board of directors through the modified valuation process reflects a fair market value of the class A common stock

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors and Stockholder

SAIC, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SAIC, Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Science Applications International Corporation) as of January 31, 2006. This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheet is free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the balance sheet, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall balance sheet presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, such consolidated balance sheet presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SAIC, Inc. and subsidiary as of January 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Science Applications International Corporation

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Science Applications International Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of January 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Science Applications International Corporation and subsidiaries as of January 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Science Applications International Corporation and all majority-owned and wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Company”). All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Outside investors’ interests in the majority-owned subsidiaries are reflected as minority interest. Unless otherwise noted, references to years are for fiscal years ended January 31, not calendar years. For example, the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 is referred to as “2006” in these notes to consolidated financial statements.

 

Certain wholly-owned subsidiaries have fiscal years ended December 31, and as a result, the financial position and results of operations of these subsidiaries for such periods are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended January 31. There were no intervening events for these subsidiaries from December 31 through January 31 for each of the years presented that would materially affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

Investments in affiliates and corporate joint ventures where the Company has an ownership interest representing between 20% and 50%, or over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method whereby the Company recognizes its proportionate share of net income or loss and does not consolidate the affiliates’ individual assets and liabilities. Equity investments in affiliates over which the Company does not exercise significant influence and whose securities do not have a readily determinable fair market value as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” are carried at cost or adjusted cost net of other-than-temporary impairments.

 

On September 1, 2005, the Company’s newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, SAIC, Inc., filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for an initial public offering of common stock (“public offering”). In addition, SAIC, Inc. filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC and the Company delivered to its stockholders a proxy statement/prospectus to obtain stockholder approval of a merger agreement pursuant to which the Company would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of SAIC, Inc. A special meeting of the stockholders that was previously scheduled for December 16, 2005 to vote on the merger was postponed due to developments regarding the firm fixed-price contract with the Greek government as discussed in Note 19. The Company intends to reschedule the special meeting of the stockholders and, subject to stockholder approval of the merger agreement, satisfactory market conditions and other factors, complete the merger and the public offering in the Fall of 2006.

 

Operating Cycle

 

The Company’s operating cycle for long-term contracts is typically greater than one year and is measured by the average time intervening between the inception and the completion of those contracts. Contract related assets and liabilities are classified as current assets and current liabilities.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

On March 15, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its subsidiary, Telcordia Technologies, Inc. (“Telcordia”). The operating results of Telcordia have been classified as discontinued operations (Note 18) for all periods presented.

Reclassifications

 

The Company has reclassified the amounts described below in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of January 31, 2005 and in the consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for 2005 and 2004 to conform to the 2006 presentation.

 

In the consolidated statements of income for 2005 and 2004, the Company reclassified $54 million and $47 million, respectively, from cost of revenues to selling, general and administrative expenses in order to classify these costs to be consistent with 2006 and its allocation of costs under cost accounting standards for U.S. Government contracts.

 

In the consolidated balance sheet for 2005, the Company reclassified $43 million of pre-contract costs to prepaid expenses which were previously reported in unbilled receivables.

 

In the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income for 2005 and 2004, the Company reclassified $55 million and $46 million, respectively, from repurchases of common stock to issuances of common stock to reflect shares issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan which were previously reported as a reduction to repurchases of common stock because it was part of the net limited market trade activity.

 

These reclassifications were also reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows for 2005 and 2004 and did not change previously reported net income or earnings per share.

 

Cash Flows

 

In 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company has separately disclosed the operating and investing portions of the cash flows attributable to its discontinued operations (Note 18), which in prior periods were reported on a combined basis as a single amount.

 

In 2005 and 2004, the Company increased purchases of marketable securities available-for-sale and proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities and other investments by $6 billion and $11 billion, respectively, to reflect purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities that occur within the Company’s investment portfolios that are managed by third party investment managers (“managed portfolios”). The Company previously did not report the cash outflows and inflows that occurred within the managed portfolios as purchases and sales and maturities, respectively, but rather reported the cash outflows and inflows between the Company and the managed portfolios. This reclassification had no effect on previously reported “total cash flows from investing activities.”

 

In 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company reclassified $71 million, $98 million and $82 million, respectively, from stock-based compensation to changes in accrued payroll and employee benefits to reflect issuances of vested stock in those years as settlement of certain bonus and retirement plan amounts expensed during the prior fiscal year. In addition, the Company disclosed these issuances of vested stock in the supplemental schedule of non-cash financing activities. This reclassification had no effect on previously reported total cash flows provided by operating activities.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an on-going basis including those relating to allowances for doubtful accounts, inventories, fair value and impairment of investments, fair value and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes, estimated profitability of long-term contracts, pension benefits, contingencies and litigation. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current information and actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties and is determined based on quoted market prices, if available, or management’s best estimate. It is management’s belief that the carrying amounts shown for the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, short-term investments in marketable securities, long-term investments in marketable securities and long-term investments in private equity securities, are reasonable estimates of their related fair values. Cash equivalents and short-term investments in marketable securities are recorded at fair value. The fair value of short-term and long-term investments in marketable securities is based upon quoted market prices. The fair value of long-term investments in private equity securities is estimated using various valuation techniques and factors, such as discounted cash flow models, market prices of comparable companies and recent capital transactions of portfolio companies. The fair value of long-term debt (Note 13) is estimated based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and current rates offered to the Company for similar debt with the same remaining maturities.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenues are primarily from contracts with the U.S. Government, commercial customers, and various international, state and local governments or from subcontracts with other contractors engaged in work with such customers. The Company performs under a variety of contracts, some of which provide for reimbursement of cost plus fees, or target cost and fee with risk sharing, and others which are fixed-price or time-and-materials type contracts. Revenues and fees on these contracts are primarily recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, most often based on contract costs incurred to date compared with total estimated costs at completion (“cost-to-cost method”). The Company also uses efforts-expended methods of percentage-of-completion (using measures such as labor dollars) for measuring progress towards completion in situations in which this approach is more representative of the progress on the contract than the cost-to-cost method. The efforts-expended method is utilized when there are significant amounts of materials or hardware on a contract for which procurement of materials does not represent significant progress on the contract. Additionally, the Company utilizes the units-of-delivery method under percentage-of-completion on contracts where separate units of output are produced. Under the units-of-delivery method, revenue is recognized when the units are delivered to the customer, providing that all other requirements for revenue recognition have been met. On contracts that provide for incentive or award fees, the Company includes an estimate of the ultimate incentive or award fee to be received on the contract in the estimated contract revenues for purposes of applying the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.

 

Revenues from services and maintenance contracts are recognized over the term of the respective contracts as the services are performed and revenue is earned. Revenues from unit-priced contracts are recognized as transactions are processed based on objective measures of output. Revenues from the sale of manufactured products are recorded upon passage of title and risk of loss to the customer, which is generally upon delivery, providing that all other requirements for revenue recognition have been met. The Company evaluates its contracts for multiple deliverables and, when appropriate, segments the contract into separate units of accounting for proper revenue recognition.

 

The Company provides for anticipated losses on contracts by recording an expense during the period in which the losses are first identified. Amounts billed to customers but not yet recognized as revenue under certain types of contracts are deferred. Unbilled receivables are stated at estimated realizable value. Contract costs incurred for U.S. Government contracts, including indirect costs, are subject to audit and adjustment by negotiations between the Company and government representatives. The Company has agreed upon and settled indirect contract costs through 2003. Revenues on U.S. Government contracts have been recorded in amounts that are expected to be realized upon final settlement.

Pre-contract Costs

 

Costs incurred on projects accounted for under the percentage-of-completion accounting method can be recognized as pre-contract costs and deferred as an asset (prepaid expenses and other current assets) when the Company has been requested by the customer to begin work under a new contract, or extend or modify work under an existing contract (change order). The Company records pre-contract costs when formal contracts or contract modifications have not yet been executed, and it is probable that the Company will recover the costs through the issuance of a contract or contract modification. When the formal contract or contract modification has been executed, the costs are recorded to the contract and revenue is recognized based on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.

 

Contract claims are unanticipated additional costs incurred in excess of the executed contract price that the Company seeks to recover from the customer. Such costs are expensed as incurred. Additional revenue related to contract claims is recognized when the amounts are awarded by the customer.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less, excluding amounts held in the Company’s managed portfolios. Items qualifying as cash equivalents but held in the Company’s managed portfolios are included in marketable securities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Cash and cash equivalents at January 31, 2006 and 2005 include $1.0 billion and $968 million, respectively, invested in commercial paper and institutional money market funds.

 

Investments in Marketable and Private Equity Securities

 

Marketable debt and equity securities are classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at the time of purchase. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value and held-to-maturity debt securities are carried at amortized cost. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded net of related tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined using the adjusted cost of the specific securities sold.

 

At each balance sheet date, management assesses whether an impairment loss on its marketable and private equity securities has occurred due to declines in fair value and other market conditions that may be other-than-temporary. If management determines that a decline in the fair value has occurred and such decline is deemed to be other-than-temporary in nature, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the security to its estimated fair value (Note 4).

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the average cost and first-in, first-out methods.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Depreciation of buildings is recognized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of ten to forty years while the related improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or ten years. Depreciation of equipment is recognized using the straight-line method or the declining-balance method over the estimated useful lives of three to ten years.

 

F-15

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

 

Additions to property and equipment together with major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals and betterments are expensed as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.

 

The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances have made recovery of the asset’s carrying value unlikely and the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. When the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the asset’s carrying amount to its estimated fair value based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill, which represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is assessed for impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate a condition of impairment may exist. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process. The first step consists of estimating the fair values of each of the reporting units based on a discounted cash flow model using revenue and profit forecasts and comparing those estimated fair values with the carrying values, which include the allocated goodwill. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is the residual fair value derived by deducting the fair value of a reporting unit’s identifiable assets and liabilities from its estimated fair value calculated in step one. The impairment expense represents the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting units’ goodwill over the implied fair value of their goodwill. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test each January 31.

 

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using a method that best reflects how their economic benefits are utilized or, if a pattern of economic benefits cannot be reliably determined, on a straight-line basis over their useful lives of one to twelve years. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are assessed for impairment on an annual basis. Intangible assets, amortized or not, are also evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided utilizing the liability method. The liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities, on an annual basis, for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities (Note 12). Under the liability method, changes in tax rates and laws are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted.

 

The provisions for federal, state, foreign and local income taxes are calculated on income before income taxes based on current tax law and include the cumulative effect of any changes in tax rates from those used previously in determining deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such provisions differ from the amounts currently payable because certain items of income and expense are recognized in different time periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company has a number of stock-based employee compensation plans, including stock options, stock purchase and restricted stock plans, which are described in Notes 10 and 15. The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation using the intrinsic value method for each period presented under the recognition

and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Under the intrinsic value method, no compensation expense is reflected in net income for options granted to employees, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, and no compensation expense is recognized for the employee stock purchase plan because it is a non-compensatory plan. The Company accounts for stock options granted to non-employees using the fair value method under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to the employee stock options and employee stock purchase plan:

The pro forma compensation costs were determined using weighted-average per share fair values of options granted in 2006, 2005 and 2004 of $8.70, $5.20 and $4.12, respectively. The fair value for options granted prior to September 1, 2005 was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for 2006, 2005 and 2004: no dividend yield, no volatility, risk-free interest rates ranging from 2.5% to 4.4% and expected lives of five years. The fair value of options granted after September 1, 2005 was calculated using the same assumptions for 2006 except a peer-weighted volatility rate of 33% and estimated useful life of 3.9 years was applied. In 2006, the pro forma stock-based employee compensation expense was reduced by $10 million, net of related tax effect, representing the effects of unvested stock options that were forfeited by employees of Telcordia as a result of the sale of Telcordia.

 

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Prior to September 1, 2005, the Company met the definition of a non-public company for the purposes of applying the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and, therefore, assumed no volatility in its fair value calculations. Effective with the filing of a registration statement by SAIC, Inc. with the SEC on September 1, 2005, the Company met the definition of a public company under SFAS No. 123 and, accordingly, has included a volatility estimate based on the estimated stock volatility of the Company’s peers in valuing awards granted after September 1, 2005.

 

SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 was adopted by the Company effective February 1, 2006. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R),

restatement of earlier periods is not permitted and there will be no carryover expense on the unvested portion of awards granted prior to September 1, 2005. There will be carryover expense to be recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements primarily over the next four years of $11 million associated with awards granted between September 1, 2005 and January 31, 2006. Because the Company applied the minimum value method (which assumes no volatility in estimating fair value) to awards granted prior to September 1, 2005, the amount of expense to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements following adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will be significantly greater than the historical amounts presented in the pro forma table above. In addition, the Company’s employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) will be compensatory under SFAS No. 123(R), requiring the 15% discount on employee stock purchases made under the plan to be recognized as compensation expense (Note 10) beginning in 2007. The amount of compensation expense in 2007 is dependent upon the number of awards to be granted and ESPP participation levels. Since February 1, 2006, the Company awarded stock options with an estimated fair value of $49 million, (based on the same assumptions used above) net of estimated forfeitures, that will be recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements ratably over the next four years. Substantially all of these stock options were granted in conjunction with the annual fiscal year bonus compensation awards. Of the total options granted in 2006, 2005 and 2004, 75%, 75% and 67%, respectively, of the options were granted in conjunction with the annual fiscal year bonus compensation awards. If the Company had adopted SFAS No. 123(R) in 2006, it would have also recognized expense of $9 million for the discount on ESPP shares.

 

Common Stock and Earnings Per Share

 

The Company is authorized to issue 1 billion shares of Class A common stock, par value $.01 and 5 million shares of Class B common stock, par value $.05. As of January 31, 2006 and 2005, 167,379,000 shares and 177,369,000 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, and 206,000 shares and 217,000 shares of Class B common stock, respectively, were issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, no additional shares of Class B common stock may be issued. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into 20 shares of Class A common stock. Class A common stock and Class B common stock are collectively referred to as common stock in the consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements and are shown assuming that the Class B common stock was converted into Class A common stock. The Class A common stock and Class B common stock have identical rights with respect to voting, dividends, liquidation and other rights except that the Class B common stock has 20 votes per share and shall receive 20 times the per share dividend declared and paid on the Class A common stock, and 20 times the assets and funds distributed upon liquidation as the Class A common stock. Pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Class A common stock is subject to certain restrictions, including the Company’s right to repurchase shares held by a stockholder upon termination of the stockholder’s affiliation with the Company, the Company’s right of first refusal with respect to sales of Class A common stock by a stockholder other than in the Company’s limited market and certain other restrictions on transfer of Class A common stock. The shares of Class B common stock are generally subject to similar contractual restrictions. Repurchases of the Company’s common stock reduce the amount of retained earnings in the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Shares of common stock are retired upon repurchase.

 

Although there has never been a general public market for the Company’s common stock, the Company has maintained a limited market through its wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary, Bull, Inc. Determinations of the price of the common stock are made by the board of directors pursuant to a valuation process that includes valuation input from an independent appraiser and a stock price formula. The board of directors believes that the valuation process results in a value which represents a fair market value for the Class A common stock within a broad range of financial criteria. The board of directors reserves the right to alter the formula and valuation process.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

 

If the stockholders’ approve the merger and the Company completes the public offering, each share of the Company’s Class A common stock would be converted into the right to receive two shares of SAIC, Inc. Class A preferred stock, and subject to the exercise of appraisal rights, each share of the Company’s Class B common stock would be converted into the right to receive 40 shares of SAIC, Inc. Class A preferred stock. If the merger is completed, the new common stock of SAIC, Inc. would have the same economic rights as the new Class A preferred stock but would be entitled to one vote per share while the new Class A preferred stock would be entitled to 10 votes per share. After the merger, SAIC, Inc. expects to offer its shares of common stock to the public. As a publicly traded company, SAIC, Inc. would have no right of first refusal on transfers of the new Class A preferred stock or the new common stock and no right to repurchase those shares upon termination of affiliation of an employee, director or consultant.

 

In conjunction with the proposed public offering, the board of directors expects to declare a special dividend that will be paid to the holders of the Company’s common stock as of a record date that will be set by the board of directors. Payment would be conditioned upon completion of the public offering and it is anticipated that the dividend would be paid within 25 days after the completion of the public offering.

 

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Shares of common stock granted to officers and employees of the Company are included in the computation of weighted average shares outstanding only after the shares become fully vested. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic EPS, except the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding is increased to include the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, which is comprised of stock options and other stock awards granted under stock-based compensation plans that were outstanding during the periods.

 

A reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

There were no adjustments to income from continuing operations and income from discontinued operations in calculating basic and diluted EPS for the years ended January 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term investments in marketable securities, and foreign currency forward exchange contracts.

 

The Company invests its available cash principally in U.S. Government and agency securities, corporate obligations, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, municipal debt and commercial paper and has established guidelines relative to diversification and maturities in an effort to maintain safety and liquidity. These guidelines are periodically reviewed and modified to take advantage of trends in yields and interest rates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

 

Although credit risk is limited, the Company’s receivables are concentrated with its principal customers which are the various agencies of the U.S. Government and commercial customers engaged in work for the U.S. Government.

 

Foreign Currency

 

Financial statements of consolidated international subsidiaries, for which the functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and a weighted average exchange rate for revenues, expenses, gains and losses. Translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses are recognized as incurred.

 

Note 2—Business Segment Information:

 

The Company provides scientific, engineering, systems integration and technical services and solutions to all branches of the U.S. military, agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense, the intelligence community, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other U.S. Government civil agencies, as well as to selected commercial markets. The Company also designs and develops high-technology products. These products include customized and standard hardware and software, such as automatic equipment identification technology, sensors and nondestructive imaging and security instruments. Product revenues represented 2% of consolidated revenues in 2006, 2005 and 2004.

 

The Company defines its reportable segments using the management approach, which is based on the way the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the operations within the Company for the allocation of resources, decision making and performance assessment.

 

Using the management approach, the Company has three reportable segments: Government, Commercial, and Corporate and Other. The Company’s operating business units are aggregated into the Government or Commercial segments, depending on the nature of the customers, the contractual requirements and the regulatory environment governing the business unit’s services. The Corporate and Other segment includes the operations of the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary, Bull, Inc., and its internal real estate management subsidiary, Campus Point Realty Corporation, and various corporate activities, including elimination of intersegment revenues. In addition, in certain circumstances, for management purposes as determined by the CODM, certain revenue and expense items related to operating business units are excluded from the evaluation of a business unit’s operating performance and are reflected in the Corporate and Other segment.

 

Business units in the Government segment provide technical services and products through contractual arrangements as either a prime contractor or subcontractor to other contractors, primarily for departments and agencies of the U.S. Government. Operations in the Government segment are subject to specific regulatory accounting and contracting guidelines such as Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”) and Federal Acquisition Regulations. Business units in the Commercial segment provide technical services and products primarily to customers in commercial markets and their operations are generally not subject to specific regulatory accounting or contracting guidelines.

 

The internal measure of operating income before income taxes (“segment operating income”) excludes losses on impaired intangible assets, non-recurring gains or losses on sales of business units, subsidiary common stock and similar items, and includes equity in the income or loss of unconsolidated affiliates and the minority interest in income or loss of consolidated subsidiaries. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

 

same as those described in Note 1. Certain corporate expenses are reflected in segment operating income based on agreed-upon allocations to the segments or as required by CAS. Corporate expense variances to these allocations are retained in the Corporate and Other segment. Elimination of intersegment revenues is also reflected in the Corporate and Other segment. Sales between segments were $3 million, $45 million and $25 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and were recorded at cost. Asset information by segment is not a key measure of performance used by the CODM. The Company also monitors capital expenditures by the business units. Interest income, interest expense and provision for income taxes, as reported in the consolidated financial statements, are not part of segment operating income and are primarily recorded at the corporate level.

 

The Company formed SAIC Venture Capital Corporation to manage its investments in publicly traded and private technology companies. The Company may also spin off technologies that are considered non-strategic but may bring future value from an investment perspective. These activities are of an investment nature and are not reported to the CODM as part of the core operating segments of the Company and, therefore, are shown as “Investment activities” in the reconciliation of total reportable segment operating income to operating income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

 

Effective February 1, 2005, the Company no longer allocated an internal interest expense or income (“Cost of Capital”). Segment information for 2005 and 2004 has been revised to reflect the elimination of Cost of Capital.

At January 31, 2006, aggregate gross unrealized gains and losses were not material.

 

At January 31, 2006, $1,659 million of investments in debt securities have effective maturities less than one year. Subsequent to January 31, 2006, the Company liquidated all of its short-term investments in marketable securities.

 

The net (loss) gain on marketable securities and other investments, including impairment losses consisted of the following:

The impairment losses in 2006, 2005 and 2004 were due to declines in fair value of the Company’s private equity securities that were deemed to be other-than-temporary. The carrying value of the Company’s private equity securities as of January 31, 2006 was $38 million.

 

The gross realized losses on the sale of marketable securities in 2006 were primarily due to the liquidation of fixed rate securities prior to their stated maturity date to achieve greater liquidity for the Company. The market value of the securities had been negatively impacted by rising interest rates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

 

In 2004, the primary component of the gross realized gains on marketable securities was a gain before income taxes of $17 million from the sale of the Company’s investment in publicly-traded equity securities of Tellium, Inc. The remainder of the aggregate gain was related to sales of certain other investments.

 

Note 5—Receivables, Net:

 

Receivables consisted of the following:

 

     January 31

     2006

   2005

     (In millions)

Billed less allowance for doubtful accounts of $6 million and $2 million at January 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively

Contract retentions

     23      20
    

  

     $ 1,517    $ 1,520
    

  

 

Unbilled receivables consists of costs and fees billable on contract completion or other specified events, the majority of which is expected to be billed and collected within one year. Contract retentions are billed when the Company has negotiated final indirect rates with the U.S. Government and, once billed, are subject to audit and approval by outside third parties. Consequently, the timing of collection of retention balances is outside the Company’s control. Based on the Company’s historical experience, the majority of the retention balance is expected to be collected beyond one year.

 

Note 6—Acquisitions and Investments in Affiliates:

 

The Company completed acquisitions of certain business assets and companies in 2006, 2005 and 2004, which individually and in the aggregate were not considered material business combinations in the year acquired. In some cases, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of certain companies while in other cases, the Company acquired certain specific assets and liabilities. All of these acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the operations of the companies acquired have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill.

 

In 2006, the Company completed four acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of $234 million, which consisted of $216 million in cash, 390,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that had a fair value of $17 million on the date of issuance and future acquisition payments of $1 million payable once certain conditions have been met. The preliminary purchase price allocations resulted in identifiable intangible assets of $35 million (amortizable over a weighted average life of five years) and goodwill of $186 million, $32 million of which is tax deductible. The Company has not yet obtained all the information required to complete the purchase price allocations related to three of these acquisitions. The final purchase price allocations will be completed once the information identified by the Company has been received, which should not be longer than one year from the dates of acquisition.

 

In 2005, the Company completed four acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of $236 million, which consisted of $227 million in cash, 107,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that had a fair value of $4 million on the date of issuance and future acquisition payments of $5 million, all of which has been paid. The

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

 

final purchase price allocation resulted in identifiable intangible assets of $44 million (amortizable over a weighted average life of nine years) and goodwill of $157 million, $33 million of which is tax deductible.

 

In 2004, the Company completed ten acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of $289 million, which consisted of $204 million in cash, 1.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock that had a fair value of $47 million on the dates of issuance, other consideration of $2 million and future acquisition payments of $36 million. The final purchase price allocation resulted in identifiable intangible assets of $41 million (amortizable over a weighted average life of three years) and goodwill of $215 million, $57 million of which is tax deductible. Potential contingent payments related to these acquisitions were $11 million, all of which have been paid or settled as of January 31, 2006.

 

At January 31, 2006, the Company had 11 equity investments, accounted for under the equity method with the Company’s direct ownership ranging from 14% to 50%. The Company recognized revenues of $15 million in 2006 and $12 million in 2005 and 2004 from these related parties. The carrying value of the Company’s equity method investments was $23 million and $20 million at January 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which includes the excess of the Company’s equity investments over its equity in the underlying net assets of $4 million in 2006 and 2005. During 2005, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $9 million on its investment in a 50% owned joint venture, Data Systems and Solutions, LLC (“DS&S”). The impairment loss was primarily due to a significant business downturn at DS&S caused by a loss of business and an ongoing government investigation and is reflected in “Other (expense) income” in the consolidated statements of income. The Company sold its interest in DS&S in March 2006 as described in Note 19.

Customer contracts and non-compete agreements with a gross carrying value of $3 million became fully amortized at January 31, 2005 and, therefore, are no longer reflected in the gross carrying value after that date. In addition, intangible assets arising from acquisitions made prior to February 1, 2005 increased by $7 million due to the finalization of purchase price allocations. Of this $7 million increase, $5 million represents amortizable intangible assets and $2 million represents indefinite-life intangible assets. Amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets was $29 million, $20 million and $6 million for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Based on the intangible assets as of January 31, 2006, the estimated annual amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets is as follows:

 

Year Ending January 31

Actual amortization expense in future periods could differ from these estimates as a result of acquisitions, divestitures, impairments and other factors. In 2006 and 2005, impairment losses on intangible assets were not material. In 2004, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses on intangible assets.

 

Note 8—Derivative Instruments:

 

The Company is exposed to certain market risks which are inherent in certain transactions entered into during the normal course of business. They include sales contracts denominated in foreign currencies, investments in equity securities and exposure to changing interest rates. The Company has a risk management policy in place which is used to assess and manage cash flow and fair value exposures. The policy permits the use of derivative instruments with certain restrictions and appropriate authorization. The Company presently uses derivative instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency and interest rate risks and uses natural hedges to

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

 

minimize exposure for net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company does not hold derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements in February 2004 (“2004 swap agreements”) to convert the fixed interest payments on its $100 million 6.75% notes (Note 13) to a variable rate, based on a rolling six-month LIBOR plus a margin. The interest rate swap agreements were entered into to better balance the fixed and variable rate long-term debt obligations. These swap agreements are designated as fair value hedges of changes in the notes’ fair value and were fully effective in offsetting the change in fair value of the underlying notes. The fair value of the 2004 swap agreements at January 31, 2006 was a liability of $3 million, of which $1 million and $2 million are reflected in other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively.

 

In 2004, the Company modified its prior plan for financing the $91 million purchase of land and buildings under two operating leases and issued $300 million of fixed rate debt (Note 13). In anticipation of this debt issuance, the Company entered into interest rate lock agreements to lock in the effective borrowing rate on portions of the anticipated debt financing. Due to declines in interest rates from the dates of entering into the treasury lock contracts to the date of the debt issuance, the Company was required to pay $5 million to settle the treasury lock contracts upon the debt issuance. This loss of $5 million before income taxes is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt. The treasury lock contracts were designated as cash flow hedges that were fully effective, therefore, the net of tax loss of $3 million was recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.

 

The Company entered into four forward starting interest rate swap agreements in January 2002 (“2002 swap agreements”) pursuant to its previous plan to use five-year variable interest rate mortgage to finance the purchase of the land and buildings noted above. The mortgage financing would have required payments to a third party lender based on a variable interest rate. Under the terms of the 2002 swap agreements, the Company would either pay to or receive from the swap agreements’ counterparty an amount which would effectively have made the net cash outflow a fixed amount. The 2002 swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges and were fully effective through May 29, 2003 with cumulative net of tax losses of $9 million recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. As of May 29, 2003, the 2002 swap agreements were no longer designated in a cash flow hedging relationship and, therefore, all future changes in fair value will be recorded directly into income through August 2008, the expiration date of the swap agreements. The cumulative loss before income taxes of $14 million on the 2002 swap agreements through May 29, 2003 is being amortized as additional interest expense over the contemplated five-year mortgage term that would have ended in August 2008.

 

In conjunction with the modified financing plan which resulted in the issuance of fixed rate debt in June 2003, on May 29, 2003, the Company entered into additional interest rate swap agreements (“2003 swap agreements”) to offset the effects of the 2002 swap agreements. The net change in the fair values of the 2002 and 2003 swap agreements since May 29, 2003 was not material and was recorded as additional interest expense. At January 31, 2006, the combined fair value of the 2003 and 2002 swap agreements was $7 million, of which $3 million and $4 million are reflected in other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

Although the majority of the Company’s transactions are in U.S. dollars, some transactions are denominated in foreign currencies. The Company’s objective in managing its exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations is

 

F-28


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

 

to mitigate adverse fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company currently manages cash flow exposure of receivables, payables and anticipated transactions through the use of natural hedges and foreign currency forward exchange contracts. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts are contracts requiring the Company to exchange a stated quantity of foreign currency for a fixed amount of a second currency, typically U.S. dollars. At January 31, 2006, currencies hedged were the U.S. dollar and British pound. The Company has designated certain of its foreign currency forward exchange contracts as cash flow hedges of transactions primarily related to sales contracts and receivables forecasted to occur by July 2006. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of these derivatives is recorded in comprehensive income and recognized in the income statement when the related hedged item affects earnings. Contracts designated as cash flow hedges were fully effective in 2006, 2005 and 2004 and net of tax gains and losses recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity were not material.

 

Note 9—Revolving Credit Facilities:

 

The Company has two revolving credit facilities (“credit facilities”) totaling $750 million with a group of financial institutions that provide for (i) a five-year revolving credit facility of up to $500 million, which allows borrowings until July 2007 and (ii) a five-year revolving credit facility of up to $250 million, which allows borrowings until July 2009. Borrowings under the credit facilities are unsecured and bear interest at a rate determined, at the Company’s option, based on either LIBOR plus a margin or a defined base rate. The Company pays a facility fee on the total commitment amount and a fee if utilization exceeds 50% of the total commitment amount. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company did not borrow under either of its credit facilities.

 

The Company has a firm fixed-price contract with the Greek government with bonding requirements, approximately $109 million of which have been met through the issuance of standby letters of credit under the $500 million five-year revolving credit facility. The standby letters of credit reduce the amount available for borrowings under the $500 million five-year revolving credit facility. The Company pays fees for the standby letters of credit issued under the $500 million five-year revolving credit facility, but the outstanding standby letters of credit are not considered borrowings and the Company does not incur related interest costs. The terms of the standby letters of credit require them to remain outstanding until the customer has formally accepted the system pursuant to the contract. The Company is in dispute with the customer on this contract as discussed in Note 19. The Company does not expect to issue any additional standby letters of credit for this contract under the $500 million five-year revolving credit facility.

 

As of January 31, 2006, the entire amount under the $250 million five-year revolving credit facility was available and $391 million of the $500 million five-year revolving credit facility was available. These credit facilities contain customary affirmative and negative covenants. The financial covenants contained in the credit facilities require the Company to maintain a trailing four quarter interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.5 to 1.0 and a ratio of consolidated funded debt to a trailing four quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of not more than 3.0 to 1.0. These covenants also restrict certain of the Company’s activities, including, among other things, the Company’s ability to create liens, dispose of assets, merge or consolidate with other entities, and create guaranty obligations. If the Company completes the public offering and related events described in Note 1, the Company would need to obtain consents under these revolving credit facilities prior to the merger and payment of a special dividend. The credit facilities also contain customary events of default, including, among others, defaults based on certain bankruptcy and insolvency events; nonpayment; cross-defaults to other debt; breach of specified covenants; change of control, and material inaccuracy of representations and warranties. As of January 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all the financial covenants under the credit facilities.

Note 10—Employee Benefit Plans:

 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company merged the Employee Stock Retirement Plan (“ESRP”) into the 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (“401(k)”) to create a combined plan renamed the SAIC Retirement Plan (“SRP”). The SRP is both a 401(k) plan and an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”). Any shares of Company common stock that were held in the 401(k) and ESRP are now held within the ESOP portion of the SRP. The SRP allows eligible participants to defer a portion of their income through payroll deductions. Employee deferrals are fully vested and are not taxable to the participant until distributed from the SRP following termination, retirement, permanent disability or death and may be matched by the Company. Employees are eligible to immediately participate in the SRP and receive the Company matching contribution upon their employment with the Company. The Company’s matching contribution is a 50% match for each dollar an employee contributes to the 401(k), up to 6% of the employee’s eligible compensation. In addition, the Company may also provide profit sharing contributions in cash and Company common stock. These contributions are based upon amounts determined annually by the board of directors and are allocated to participants’ accounts based on their annual eligible compensation. The Company recognizes the fair value of the Company’s common stock in the year of contribution as compensation expense. Employees must meet a one-year eligibility period to qualify for any profit sharing contributions made by the Company. Participants’ interests in the Company’s matching and profit sharing contributions vest 20% per year in the first through fifth year of service. Participants also become fully vested upon reaching age 59 1/2, permanent disability or death. The Company’s contributions, including the matching contributions, expensed under the ESRP, 401(k) and SRP were $121 million, $95 million and $103 million for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Any participant who leaves the Company, whether by retirement or otherwise, is no longer required to divest their Company common stock holdings that have been retained more than five years in the SRP and, based on the eligibility requirements, may be able to elect to receive either cash or shares of Company common stock as a distribution from their SRP stock account. Shares of Company common stock distributed from the SRP bear a limited put right that, if exercised, would require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the shares at their then current fair value during two specified 60-day periods following distribution. If the shares are not put to the Company during the specified periods, the shares no longer bear a put right, and the Company will not be required to repurchase the shares. If the initial public offering is completed (Note 1), the limited put right feature on existing shares will expire and new shares distributed from the SRP will no longer be eligible for a put right. At January 31, 2006, the SRP held 67 million shares of common stock with a fair value of $2.9 billion and there were 5 million shares distributed from the SRP with a limited put right that remained outstanding with a fair value of $202 million. On March 2, 2006, the second period available to exercise the put right expired and 3 million shares with a fair value of $123 million remained outstanding.

 

The Company has a principal bonus compensation plan, which provides for bonuses to reward outstanding performance. Bonuses are awarded in the form of cash, fully vested or vesting shares of the Company’s common stock. The board of directors or its committee administering the bonus compensation plan may at any time amend, suspend, or terminate the plan. Awards of vesting shares of the Company’s common stock vest at the rate of 20%, 20%, 20% and 40% after one, two, three and four years, respectively. Except as otherwise provided in the award agreement, outstanding bonus awards become fully vested upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company. The fair market value of these vesting shares awarded is recorded as unearned compensation, which is included in stockholders’ equity and amortized over the vesting period. The amounts expensed under this plan were $118 million, $121 million and $106 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

The Company has a Stock Compensation Plan (“SCP”) and Management Stock Compensation Plan (“MSCP”), together referred to as the Stock Compensation Plans. The board of directors may at any time amend or terminate the Stock Compensation Plans. The Stock Compensation Plans provide for awards in share units to eligible employees. Benefits from these plans are payable in shares of the Company’s common stock that are

 

F-30


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

 

held in trust to fund benefit payments to participants. Participants’ interests in these share units vest on a seven year schedule at the rate of one-third at the end of each of the fifth, sixth and seventh years following the date of the award. In 2006, the board of directors amended the vesting period for new awards under the Stock Compensation Plans. New awards issued on or after January 1, 2006 vest 100% after four years and participants are no longer allowed to elect their distribution option. SCP participants receive a lump sum distribution of their awards in shares of Company common stock once they become vested while the MSCP participants receive a distribution of their awards in shares of Company common stock following termination or retirement. Upon a change in control of the Company, participant accounts will become fully vested and will be immediately distributed. The fair value of shares awarded under these plans is recorded as unearned compensation which is included in stockholders’ equity and amortized over the vesting period. The amounts expensed under these plans were $6 million, $7 million and $6 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) which allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount of 15% of the fair market value. The ESPP terminates on July 31, 2007, unless terminated earlier by the board of directors. The Company has not recognized any expense under this plan because it is a non-compensatory plan. Effective February 1, 2006, in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), the ESPP became compensatory, requiring that 15% discount be recognized as compensation expense. The pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share of the discount is presented in Note 1. At January 31, 2006, 8 million shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance under the ESPP.

 

The Company maintains two deferred compensation plans for the benefit of key executives and directors and allows eligible participants to elect to defer all or a portion of their annual bonus compensation. The Company makes no contributions under the Keystaff Deferral Plan (“KDP”) but does credit participant accounts for deferred compensation amounts and interest earned. Interest is accrued based on the Moody’s Seasoned Corporate Bond Rate (5.59% in 2006). Deferred balances will generally be paid upon termination. Under the Key Executive Stock Deferral Plan (“KESDP”), eligible participants may elect to defer all or a portion of their annual bonus compensation in share units. The Company makes no contributions to the accounts of KESDP participants. Benefits from the KESDP are payable in shares of the Company’s common stock that are held in a trust for the benefit of KESDP participants. Deferred balances will generally be paid upon retirement or termination.

The accumulated benefit obligation for the defined benefit pension plan was $100 million and $82 million at January 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The fair value of the pension assets was less than the accumulated benefit obligation at January 31, 2006 and 2005. As a result, a minimum pension liability adjustment, net of tax, of $3 million, $3 million, and $4 million was included in other comprehensive income in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Actuarial Assumptions

 

The weighted-average assumptions used in determining the benefit obligations and the net periodic benefit cost of pension were as follows:

 

     January 31

 
     2006

    2005

 

Assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at the plan’s measurement date:

            

Discount rate

   4.7 %   5.3 %

Rate of compensation increase

   3.6 %   3.6 %
     Year Ended January 31

 
     2006

    2005

 

Assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost:

            

Discount rate

   5.3 %   5.5 %

Expected return on plan assets

   7.6 %   8.0 %

Rate of compensation increase

   3.6 %   3.5 %

 

The long-term rate of return assumption represents the expected average earnings on funds invested or to be invested by the plan. This return is determined in consultation with investment advisors and is based on a variety of factors including long-term historical market returns for the various asset classes in the plans and review of peer data. A weighting of these asset class returns, based on the anticipated long-term allocation of the asset classes in the plans, is performed to determine an overall average expected long-term rate of return.

Plan Assets

 

As of the measurement date, pension plan assets were allocated as follows:

 

     January 31

 
     2006

    2005

 

International equity securities

   71 %   75 %

Debt securities

   21     19  

Real estate and cash

   8     6  
    

 

     100 %   100 %
    

 

 

The Company’s overall investment strategy for all pension plan assets is to utilize a total return investment approach whereby a mix of equity securities, fixed income, real estate and cash investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets for a prudent level of risk. Risk tolerance is established through consideration of plan demographics, plan liabilities, plan funded status and overall corporate financial condition. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of international equity securities, fixed income securities, and real estate investments. Target asset allocation as prescribed by the investment strategy is substantially similar to actual allocation at measurement date.

 

Cash Flows

 

During 2007, the Company expects to contribute approximately $6 million to the defined benefit pension plan. Estimated annual benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be $1 million for each of the years in 2007 to 2011. Total estimated benefit payments for 2012 through 2016 are expected to be $11 million.

 

Other

 

The Company also makes contributions to a defined benefit pension plan for employees working on one U.S. Government contract. As part of the contractual agreement, the customer reimburses the Company for contributions made to the plan as allowable under cost accounting standards. If the Company were to cease to be the contractor as a result of a recompetition process, this defined benefit pension plan and related plan assets and liabilities would transfer to the new contractor. Any excess ERISA required contributions that were made by the Company and not currently reimbursed under the contract would be settled at contract termination by the new contractor. The Company currently has a receivable for $2 million representing excess contributions made under ERISA but not currently reimbursed under the contract because it exceeds the allowable amount under CAS.

 

In addition, certain employees at AMSEC LLC, a consolidated joint venture, continue to participate in a defined benefit pension and a retiree medical and life insurance plan sponsored by the other joint venture participant. AMSEC LLC recorded expense of $1 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004 for payments made to the other joint venture partner for the cost of the benefits these plans provide.

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes to the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate (35%) to income from continuing operations before income taxes follows:

Effective income tax rate

     28.7 %     32.5 %     38.4 %

 

The lower effective tax rate for 2006 was primarily due to the reversal of $50 million in tax accruals for tax contingencies as a result of settlements of federal and state audits and audit issues in amounts different than the recorded accruals for tax contingencies, as well as the expiration of statutes on open tax years.

 

Income taxes paid in 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $590 million, $34 million and $79 million, respectively, and in 2006, included income tax payments of approximately $280 million related to the sale of Telcordia (Note 18).

 

At January 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $50 million of federal net operating loss carry forwards. The Company anticipates that it will fully utilize these carry forwards before they begin to expire in the year 2025.

 

The Company is subject to routine compliance reviews by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), which is currently auditing 2002 to 2004, and other taxing jurisdictions on various tax matters, including challenges to various positions the Company has taken. The Company has recorded liabilities for tax contingencies for open years based upon its best estimate of the taxes ultimately to be paid. As of January 31, 2006, the income taxes payable balance included $113 million for tax contingencies. The income taxes payable at January 31, 2006 also includes deposits made with various tax authorities for anticipated tax payments due on prior tax periods. While the Company believes it has adequate accruals for tax contingencies, there is no assurance that the tax authorities will not assert that the Company owes taxes in excess of its accruals, or that there will not be accruals in excess of the final settlement amounts agreed to by the tax authorities.

     $ 1,192    $ 1,215
    

  

 

In 2004, the Company completed an offering of $300 million of senior unsecured notes (“5.5% notes”). The 5.5% notes are due on July 1, 2033 with interest payable on a semi-annual basis beginning January 1, 2004. The note discounts, issuance costs and the loss on the treasury lock contracts (Note 8) are amortized to interest expense, using the effective interest method, which results in an effective interest rate of 5.8%. The fair value of the 5.5% notes was less than the carrying value by $19 million at January 31, 2006.

 

In 2003, the Company issued $550 million of 6.25% senior unsecured notes (“6.25% notes”) and $250 million of 7.125% senior unsecured notes (“7.125% notes”). The 6.25% notes and the 7.125% notes are due on July 1, 2012 and July 1, 2032, respectively, with interest payable semi-annually beginning January 1, 2003. The note discounts, issuance costs and the loss on the treasury lock contracts (Note 8) are amortized to interest expense, which results in an effective interest rate of 6.5% for the 6.25% notes and 7.43% for the 7.125% notes. The fair value of the 6.25% notes and 7.125% notes exceeded the carrying value by $20 million and $38 million, respectively, at January 31, 2006.

 

In 1998, the Company issued $100 million of 6.75% senior unsecured notes with a nominal discount (“6.75% notes”) which are due February 1, 2008 with interest payable semi-annually beginning August 1, 1998. The 6.75% notes have an effective interest rate of 8.3%, due principally to the amortization of a loss on a forward treasury lock agreement, the discount on issuance of the notes and underwriting fees associated with the offering. The fair value of the 6.75% notes exceeded the carrying value by $9 million at January 31, 2006. In 2005, the Company entered into interest rate swaps related to this debt as described in Note 8.

 

The Company is subject to certain restrictions on the notes described above, such as limitations on liens and sale and leaseback transactions. As of January 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with these restrictions.

 

In conjunction with the acquisition of a business, in 2004, the Company’s 55% owned joint venture, AMSEC LLC, entered into a 3-year term note for $45 million (“3-year note”) maturing December 1, 2006. The 3-year note is secured by certain assets of the joint venture. Principal is paid quarterly and interest is paid monthly. The interest rate is adjusted monthly based on 30-day LIBOR plus 85 basis points and was 5.24% at January 31, 2006.

 

The Company has various other notes payable with interest rates from 2.9% to 6.0% that are due on various dates through 2016.

Note 15—Common Stock and Options:

 

The Company has options outstanding under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan. The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan provides the Company and its affiliates’ employees, directors and consultants the opportunity to receive stock options, stock appreciation rights, vested stock awards, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards, and other similar types of stock awards. The plan also provides that, except as provided in an award agreement, outstanding awards will become fully vested upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company. Options are granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value at the date of grant and for terms not greater than ten years. Options outstanding at January 31, 2006 were granted with terms of five years. Options granted under these plans generally become exercisable 20%, 20%, 20%, and 40% after one, two, three and four years, respectively.

The Company has restricted stock awards in the form of vesting shares outstanding under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, the bonus compensation plan and the Stock Compensation Plans (Note 10). The Company granted 1 million shares of vesting stock in 2006 and 2 million shares in 2005 and 2004. The weighted average grant date fair values were $41.04, $36.91 and $29.57 for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Note 16—Leases:

 

The Company occupies most of its facilities under operating leases. Most of the leases require the Company to pay maintenance and operating expenses such as taxes, insurance and utilities and also contain renewal options extending the leases from one to twenty years. Certain of the leases contain purchase options and provisions for periodic rate escalations to reflect cost-of-living increases. Certain equipment, primarily computer-related, is leased under short-term or cancelable operating leases. Rental expense for facilities and equipment was $126 million, $109 million and $107 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which is net of sublease income of $7 million, $6 million and $5 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

In 2004, the Company was awarded a contract with the Greek Government (Note 19) that requires the Company to lease certain equipment under an operating lease from a subcontractor for ten years. The lease term commences as soon as the development and integration of the system under contract is completed and accepted by the customer. The terms of the customer contract and lease agreement provide that if the customer defaults on its payments to the Company to cover the future lease payments, then the Company is not required to make the lease payments to the subcontractor. Consequently, the maximum contingent lease liability of $91 million at January 31, 2006 is not reflected in the future minimum lease commitments table below and such amount has not been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Telcordia

 

On March 15, 2005, the Company completed the sale of Telcordia to TTI Holding Corporation (“Buyer”), an affiliate of Warburg Pincus LLC and Providence Equity Partners Inc. The initial sale price of $1.35 billion was subject to a working capital adjustment, reduction for the net proceeds from a sale leaseback transaction of certain Telcordia-owned real estate between Telcordia and an unrelated third party in conjunction with the closing of the sale of Telcordia, and other adjustments as agreed upon between the Buyer and the Company. During 2006, the Company finalized the closing balance sheet and working capital adjustments with the Buyer, resolved certain sales tax matters and recorded a gain on sale before income taxes of $871 million.

The Company is entitled to receive additional amounts as contingent sales price, including all of the net proceeds from any judgment or settlement of the litigation Telcordia initiated against Telkom South Africa and 50% of the net proceeds Telcordia receives in connection with the prosecution of certain patent rights of Telcordia as described in Note 19. In addition to customary indemnifications to the Buyer, the Company has indemnified the Buyer for all income tax obligations on and through the date of close and has indemnified the Buyer against any loss Telcordia may incur as a result of an adverse judgment in the Telkom South Africa litigation. While the Company believes it has adequate accruals for these contingencies, the ultimate resolution of these matters could differ from the amounts accrued. The impact of these future contingent payments or contingent purchase price proceeds as well as changes in estimates for these items, if any, will continue to be reflected as discontinued operations in the period in which they arise.

 

As a result of the sale of Telcordia, the Company’s common stock is no longer an investment choice in the Telcordia 401(k) Plan. As of January 31, 2006, the Telcordia 401(k) Plan held 3.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock, which had a fair value of $156 million. The Company no longer has a right of repurchase under the terms of its Restated Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the shares of the Company’s common stock held by the Telcordia 401(k) Plan or any other contractual right to repurchase these shares. However, the Company agreed with Telcordia to provide an opportunity for the Telcordia 401(k) Plan to sell shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in any trade in which its retirement plans have such an opportunity prior to completion of the public offering. Further, the Company agreed that if the public offering is completed, the Telcordia 401(k) Plan will have the same opportunity to sell shares of Class A preferred stock of SAIC, Inc. as other stockholders generally, but will not have the opportunity to sell such shares in any additional opportunities provided to the Company’s retirement plans that are not otherwise provided to other stockholders generally.

In 2006, Telcordia’s operating results reflect the period prior to the sale of February 1, 2005 through March 14, 2005. In addition, during 2006, after the sale of Telcordia, an income tax benefit of $32 million related to Telcordia’s discontinued operations was recorded to reflect the resolution of certain tax contingencies of Telcordia that related to its operations prior to the sale.

 

INTESA Joint Venture

 

In 2003, the Company’s foreign joint venture, INTESA, ceased operations and was classified as discontinued operations. As described in Note 19, in 2005, the Company received a $6 million settlement related to an insurance claim. This claim is considered a recovery of prior losses that were recorded as part of the discontinued operations and, therefore, has been recorded as a gain from discontinued operations of $4 million, net of income tax expense of $2 million. INTESA and the Company are involved in various legal proceedings relating to INTESA as described in Note 19.

 

Note 19—Commitments and Contingencies:

 

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds

 

The Company has outstanding letters of credit aggregating $266 million at January 31, 2006, principally related to guarantees on contracts with domestic commercial and foreign government customers. Of the total outstanding letters of credit, $234 million was related to the firm fixed-price contract with the Greek government described below, $109 million of which was issued under the Company’s five year revolving credit facility (Note 9). The Company also has outstanding surety bonds aggregating $78 million, principally related to performance and payment type bonds.

 

Telkom South Africa

 

The Company’s former Telcordia subsidiary instituted arbitration proceedings before the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) against Telkom South Africa in March 2001 as a result of a contract dispute. Telcordia is seeking to recover damages of approximately $130 million, plus interest at a rate of 15.5%. Telkom South Africa counterclaimed, seeking substantial damages from Telcordia, including repayment of approximately $97 million previously paid to Telcordia under the contract and the excess costs of reprocuring a

replacement system, estimated by Telkom South Africa to be $234 million. On September 27, 2002, Telcordia prevailed in the initial phase of the arbitration. The arbitrator found that Telkom South Africa repudiated the contract and dismissed Telkom South Africa’s counterclaims against Telcordia. The damages to be recovered by Telcordia were to be determined in a second phase of the arbitration. Telkom South Africa successfully challenged the arbitrator’s partial award in the Company’s favor in the South African trial court and the Company has appealed this decision to the South African Supreme Court. In a separate proceeding, the Company unsuccessfully attempted to have its partial arbitration award confirmed by the U.S. District Court (New Jersey). The Company has appealed the ruling of U.S. District Court (New Jersey) to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Oral arguments were held on January 13, 2006 and the parties are awaiting the decision.

 

On March 15, 2005, the Company sold Telcordia to an affiliate of Warburg Pincus LLC and Providence Equity Partners Inc. (Note 18). Pursuant to the definitive stock purchase agreement relating to the sale, the Company is entitled to receive all of the net proceeds from any judgment or settlement with Telkom South Africa, and, if this dispute is settled or decided adversely against Telcordia, the Company is obligated to indemnify the buyer of Telcordia against any loss that may result from such an outcome.

 

Due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved in the dispute and the uncertainty of litigation in general, the outcome of the arbitration and the related court actions are not presently determinable, however, an adverse resolution could materially harm the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities recorded related to this contract and the related legal proceedings as of January 31, 2006 and 2005. The Company does not believe a material loss is probable based on the procedural standing of the case and its understanding of applicable laws and facts.

 

Firm Fixed-Price Contract with the Greek Government

 

Original Contract. In May 2003, the Company entered into a euro-denominated firm-fixed-price contract with the Hellenic Republic of Greece (the “Customer”), as represented by the Ministry of Defense, to provide a C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Coordination and Integration) System (the “System”), to support the 2004 Athens Summer Olympic Games (the “Olympics”), and to serve as the security system for the Customer’s public order departments following completion of the Olympics. The System is comprised of 29 subsystems, organized into three major functional areas: the Command Decision Support System (“CDSS”), the Communication and Information System and the Command Center Systems. A significant amount of effort on this contract has been and will be performed by subcontractors to the Company. Under the contract, the System was to be completed, tested, and accepted by September 1, 2004, at a price of approximately $199 million. To date, the Company has received advance payments totaling approximately $147 million. The contract also requires the Company to provide five years of System support and maintenance for approximately $11 million and ten years of TETRA radio network services for approximately $102 million. Under the terms of the contract, the Company’s obligation to provide the System support and maintenance and TETRA radio network services only begins upon System acceptance, which has not yet occurred. The contract contains an unpriced option for an additional five years of TETRA network services.

 

The Memorandum. On July 7, 2004, shortly before the start of the Olympics, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Memorandum”) with the Hellenic Republic, as represented by the Committee for Planning and Monitoring the Olympic Security Command Centers, pursuant to which the parties recognized and agreed that: (1) delivery and acceptance of the System had not been completed by the scheduled date; (2) the System would be delivered for use at the Olympics in its then-current state, which included certain omissions and deviations attributable to both parties; (3) a new process for testing and acceptance of the System would be instituted, with final acceptance to occur no later than October 1, 2004; (4) the Customer would proceed with the necessary

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

 

actions for the completion of a contract modification as soon as possible; and (5) the Company would receive a milestone payment of approximately $23 million immediately upon the execution of the contract modification.

 

Delivery of System, Testing and Negotiations. The Customer took delivery of the System for use and operation during the Olympics, and continues to use significant portions of the System. The System has not been accepted by the Customer under the terms of the Greek contract, and the contract modification anticipated under the Memorandum has not been obtained. In November 2004, the Company delivered a revised version of the CDSS portion of the System to the Customer. Beginning in December 2004 and continuing through April 2005, the Customer performed subsystems acceptance testing on each of the subsystems comprising the System based on test procedures that had not been mutually agreed upon by the parties. The Customer identified numerous omissions and deviations in its test reports. The Company believes that certain of these omissions and deviations are valid, while others are not. From December 2004 through April 2005, the Company engaged in negotiations with the Customer concerning a modification to the contract to resolve the disputes. On April 28, 2005, the Customer formally notified the Company that the System delivered had significant deviations and omissions from the contractual requirements and may not be accepted.

 

Under the terms of the contract and the Memorandum between the parties, the Company submitted various proposals to the Customer to remedy these omissions and deviations. The most significant of these proposals includes a redevelopment of CDSS using an alternative technical approach, and a redesigned port security system. The first proposal for an alternative CDSS technical approach was submitted in June 2005. On November 25, 2005, the Customer notified the Company that its technical advisors declined to recommend either the acceptance or rejection of the Company’s remediation plan for an alternative CDSS. On December 5, 2005, the Company sent a letter advising the Customer that unless an agreement is reached with respect to the alternative CDSS approach, the Company intends to initiate the dispute process contained in the Greek contract, which includes binding arbitration as its final step. On December 13, 2005, the Customer delivered a letter to the Company indicating that the Company’s proposal based on the alternative CDSS approach is deemed “acceptable in principle” on the terms proposed. The parties reengaged in negotiations in early January 2006 on a contract modification to incorporate these proposals. A contract modification has not yet been executed and would be required in order for the Company to implement the proposals and achieve Customer acceptance of the System. The Company anticipates that such modification would include the parties’ agreement on appropriate price adjustments for omissions and deviations not satisfied by the proposed remediation of the System and a revised testing and acceptance process as contemplated under the Memorandum.

 

Subcontracts. The Company has subcontracted a significant portion of the requirements under the Greek contract, including the lease of certain equipment and TETRA network services for at least 10 years. In order for the Company to implement the technical proposals submitted to the Customer and contemplated by the modification being negotiated with the Customer, the Company would need to negotiate and execute modifications to the subcontracts with our subcontractors, including price. Certain of the omissions and deviations of the System are attributable to subcontracted work. Payments to the subcontractors are generally required only if the Company receives payment from the Customer related to the subcontractors’ work. If it is determined the Company breached its obligations to any of its subcontractors, the Company may incur additional losses.

 

Under the terms of the Greek contract, the Company is not obligated to provide TETRA network services to the Customer until the Customer has accepted the System. The Company and its subcontractors have provided System support and maintenance and TETRA network services to the Customer since the Olympics in August 2004, without receiving any compensation. In September 2005, the principal subcontractor notified the Company that it would no longer commit to continue providing TETRA network services, although it has continued to provide such services to date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

 

Legality of the Contract. In March 2005, the Customer notified the Company that an issue had been raised concerning the legality of the contract by a Greek government auditor. In August 2005, the Company learned that the Court of Auditors of the Hellenic Republic (the “Greek Audit Court”), a government agency with authority to review and audit procurements, issued a decision finding that certain mistakes in the procurement process committed by the Greek government rendered the contract illegal. The Customer requested revocation of the Greek Audit Court decision. On November 17, 2005, the Greek Audit Court issued a decision finding that the errors committed by the Customer in the procurement process constituted “pardonable mistakes” with respect to prior payments under the contract. Although the rationale of the Greek Audit Court decision suggests that the Customer may be able to make future payments under the contract, the impact of the decision on the legality of the contract and the Customer’s ability to make future payments is not clear.

 

Financial Status and Contingencies of the Contract. The Company has recorded $121 million of contract losses as of January 31, 2006. Of this amount, $83 million was recorded in fiscal 2006, $34 million in fiscal 2005 and $4 million in fiscal 2004. These losses reflect the Company’s estimated total cost to complete the System and obtain Customer acceptance and estimated reductions in price as a result of omissions and deviations from the contract requirements. Because of the significant uncertainties related to ultimate acceptance and payment from the Customer, the Company’s current accounting treatment limits the total revenue to be realized under the contract to the cash received to date. Although the Company expects to pursue remaining amounts owed under the terms of the contract, this reduction in total estimated revenues to be realized under the contract increased the total loss by $32 million during 2006, which is included in the loss amounts discussed above. Through January 31, 2006, the Company has recognized revenues of $119 million, which represent a portion of the $147 million cash collected to date based upon the percentage-of-completion method of revenue recognition.

 

As of January 31, 2006, the estimated future costs to complete the System and obtain Customer acceptance is $52 million. This estimated cost is included in the $121 million contract loss recorded as of January 31, 2006. Management has used this estimate and its judgment in evaluating the various uncertainties and assumptions necessary to recognize the total estimated losses on this contract. Such assumptions include obtaining mutual agreement with the Customer regarding system requirements, execution of a modification to the contract, completion of the System and Customer acceptance. The total costs are significantly affected by the timing of events such as executing a contract modification and ultimate Customer acceptance. Management has estimated that final acceptance of the System under a modified contract will occur in January 2008. The Company’s recorded losses exclude potential subcontractor payments associated with the omissions and deviations related to specific subsystems supplied by subcontractors in the amount of $12 million that management believes will not be paid under the subcontract terms.

 

The Company has $13 million of accounts receivable relating to Value Added Taxes (VAT) that it has paid and believes it is entitled to recover either as a refund from the taxing authorities or as a payment under the Greek contract upon final billing. The contract requires the Customer to pay amounts owed for VAT for the System delivered. Failure by the customer to pay these amounts could result in an additional obligation payable by the Company to the Greek taxing authorities and would increase the Company’s total losses on the contract.

 

In accordance with the terms of the contract, the Company is required to provide certain payment, performance and offset bonds in favor of the customer. The bonding requirements have been met through the issuance of standby letters of credit. Under the terms of these bonding arrangements, the Customer has currently the right to call some or all of the $234 million of standby letters of credit outstanding. The Company does not currently believe it is probable that the Customer will call these standby letters of credit. If the standby letters of credit are called, the Company may have the right to call some or all of the $99 million in performance bonds provided by its subcontractors guaranteeing the performance of their work under the contract.

 

Arbitration Proceedings. Although the Company has been pursuing a contract modification with the Customer since shortly after the Memorandum was signed in July 2004, due to the difficulties in reaching

 

F-46


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

 

mutually satisfactory terms, the Company instituted arbitration proceedings on April 21, 2006 before the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) against the Customer to pursue the Company’s rights and remedies provided for in the contract and the Memorandum and under Greek law. The arbitration complaint filed by the Company: (1) seeks an order under the contract that the Customer’s extended use of the System under the circumstances constitutes constructive acceptance and precludes the Customer from rejecting the System, (2) seeks damages for breach of contract, bad faith, use of the System and other damages, (3) seeks a determination as to the legal status of the contract as a result of the illegality issue discussed above, and (4) if the contract is determined to be illegal, seeks compensation for the commercial value of the System delivered and its use by the Customer and other damages. Under the terms of the Contract, disputes are subject to ultimate resolution by binding arbitration before a panel of three Greek arbitrators in Greece. Due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved and the uncertainty of litigation in general, the outcome of the arbitration is uncertain. There is no assurance that the Company will prevail in the arbitration.

 

In the event the Company does not prevail in the arbitration or is unable to resolve the various disputes under the contract as anticipated, it could incur additional losses. If the Customer asserts claims against the Company in the arbitration and it is determined that the Company has breached the contract and, as a result, owes the Customer damages, such damages could include, but are not limited to, (1) re-procurement costs, (2) repayment of amounts paid under the contract, (3) penalties for delayed delivery in an amount up to $15 million, and (4) forfeiture of a good performance bond in the amount of $32 million.

 

Successful imposition of damages or claims by the Customer or subcontractors against the Company, the calling of the Company’s bonds, additional contract costs required to fulfill its obligations, or additional revenue reductions arising from the negotiation of the contract modification could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

DS&S Joint Venture

 

In March 2006, the Company sold its interest in DS&S, a joint venture in which the Company owned a 50% interest at January 31, 2006. DS&S maintains a $25 million credit facility, under which $7 million in principal amount and $12 million in standby letters of credit were outstanding at January 31, 2006. The Company and the other joint venture member each guaranteed 50% of DS&S’s commitments under this credit facility (up to a maximum amount of $12.5 million each, plus certain additional charges), but the Company has not been required to perform on this guarantee. As of January 31, 2006, the Company had a loan receivable of $1 million due from DS&S, which was repaid in conjunction with the sale. The Company and the other joint venture member also each guaranteed the payment of 50% of certain legal and accounting fees incurred by DS&S in conjunction with an ongoing government investigation. As of January 31, 2006, the fair value of the guarantee for legal and accounting fees was not material to the Company and the Company has not been required to perform on this guarantee. The Company sold its interest in DS&S and received repayment of the loan receivable. The Company was released from its guarantee obligations relating to DS&S’s credit facility and legal and accounting fees as part of the sale. In addition, as part of the sale, the Company agreed to indemnify the joint venture member who purchased the Company’s interest in DS&S for certain legal costs and expenses relating to the on-going government investigation involving DS&S and any litigation resulting from that investigation up to the sum of the purchase price plus the amount received by the Company in repayment of the $1 million loan receivable.

 

INTESA Joint Venture

 

INTESA, a Venezuelan joint venture the Company formed in 1997 with Venezuela’s national oil company, PDVSA, to provide information technology services in Latin America, is involved in various legal proceedings.

 

F-47


Table of Contents

SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

 

The Company had previously consolidated its 60% interest in the joint venture, but the operations of INTESA were classified as discontinued operations as of January 31, 2003 and INTESA is currently insolvent. PDVSA has refused to take action to dissolve the joint venture or have it declared bankrupt.

 

Outsourcing Services Agreement and Guarantee.    INTESA had derived substantially all its revenues from an outsourcing services agreement with PDVSA that it entered into at the time the joint venture was formed. The services agreement expired on June 30, 2002 and the parties were not able to reach agreement on a renewal. The Company guaranteed INTESA’s obligations under the services agreement to PDVSA. Under the terms of the services agreement, INTESA’s liability for damages to PDVSA in any calendar year is capped at $50 million. As a result, the Company’s maximum potential liability to PDVSA under the guarantee in any calendar year, based on the Company’s guarantee of their ownership interest in INTESA, is $20 million. To date, PDVSA has not asserted any claims.

 

Expropriation of the Company’s Interest in INTESA.    In 2003 and 2004, PDVSA and the Venezuelan government took certain actions, including denying INTESA access to certain of its facilities and assets, that prevented INTESA from continuing operations. In 2005, the Overseas Private Investment Company (OPIC), a U.S. governmental entity that provides insurance coverage against expropriation of U.S. business interests by foreign governments, determined that the Venezuelan government had expropriated the Company’s interest in INTESA without compensation and paid the Company approximately $6 million in settlement of its claim.

 

Employment Claims of Former INTESA Employees.    INTESA is a defendant in a number of lawsuits brought by former employees seeking unpaid severance and pension benefits. PDVSA and SAIC Bermuda, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and the entity that held the Company’s interest in INTESA, were added as defendants in a number of these suits. Based on the procedural standing of the cases and the Company’s understanding of applicable laws and facts, the Company believes that its exposure to any possible losses related to these employment claims is either remote, or if reasonably possible, not material.

 

Other Legal Proceedings Involving INTESA.    The Attorney General of Venezuela initiated a criminal investigation of INTESA in 2003 alleging unspecified sabotage by INTESA employees. The Company believes this investigation is inactive. In connection with the Company’s expropriation claim, OPIC determined that INTESA did not sabotage PDVSA’s infrastructure as alleged by PDVSA and the Venezuelan government. In addition, the SENIAT, the Venezuelan tax authority, filed a claim against INTESA in 2004 for approximately $30 million for alleged non-payment of VAT taxes in 1998.

 

Potential Financial Impact.    Many issues relating to INTESA, including the termination of the services agreement and the employment litigation brought by former INTESA employees, remain unresolved. Due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved in these matters and the uncertain economic and political environment in Venezuela, the outcome is not presently determinable and no amounts have been accrued; however, adverse resolutions could materially harm the Company’s business and could have a material adverse affect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Other Joint Ventures

 

The Company is an investor in Danet Partnership GbR (“Danet GbR”), a German partnership, accounted for under the equity method. Danet GbR is the controlling shareholder in Danet GmbH, a German operating company (“Danet GmbH”). Danet GbR has an internal equity trading market similar to the Company’s limited market. The Company is required to provide liquidity rights to the other Danet GbR investors in certain circumstances. Absent a change in control whereby the Company gains control over Danet GbR, these rights allow Danet GbR investors who are withdrawing from the partnership to put their Danet GbR shares to the Company in exchange for the current fair value of those shares. If the Company gains control over Danet GbR,

 

F-48


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

 

all Danet GbR investors have the right to put their Danet GbR shares to the Company in exchange for the current fair value of those shares. If Danet GbR investors put their shares to the Company, the Company may pay the put price in shares of its common stock or cash. The Company does not currently record a liability for these put rights because their exercise is contingent upon the occurrence of future events which the Company cannot determine will occur with any certainty. In 2006, the Company paid $2 million to withdrawing Danet GbR investors who exercised their right to put their Danet GbR shares to the Company. The maximum potential obligation assuming all the current Danet GbR investors were to put their Danet GbR shares to the Company would be $7 million as of January 31, 2006. If the Company were to incur the maximum obligation and buy all the partnership shares currently held by other Danet GbR investors, the Company would then own 100% of Danet GbR and would hold a controlling interest in Danet GmbH.

 

The Company has a guarantee that relates only to claims brought by the sole customer of another of its joint ventures, Bechtel SAIC Company, LLC, for specific contractual nonperformance of the joint venture. The Company also has a cross-indemnity agreement with the joint venture partner, pursuant to which it will only be ultimately responsible for the portion of any losses incurred under the guarantee equal to its ownership interest of 30%. Due to the nature of the guarantee, the Company is not able to project the maximum potential amount of future payments it could be required to make under the guarantee as of January 31, 2006 but, based on current conditions, the Company believes the likelihood of having to make any payment is remote. Accordingly, no liability relating to this guarantee is currently recorded.

 

On September 15, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with EG&G Technical Services, Inc. (“EG&G”) and Parsons Infrastructure & Technology Group, Inc. (“Parsons”) to form Research and Development Solutions, LLC (“RDS”), a Delaware limited liability company that will pursue contracts offered by the Department of Energy’s National Energy Technical Laboratory. The Company, EG&G and Parsons, each have a one-third equal joint venture interest. In conjunction with a contract award to RDS, each joint venture partner was required to sign a performance guarantee agreement with the U.S. Government. Under this agreement, the Company unconditionally guarantees all of RDS’s obligations to the U.S. Government under the contract award, which has an estimated total value of $217 million. The Company also has a cross-indemnity agreement with each of the other two joint venture partners to protect it from liabilities for any U.S. Government claims resulting from the actions of the other two joint venture partners and to limit the Company’s liability to its share of the contract work. As of January 31, 2006, the fair value of the guarantee is not material to the Company.

 

Gracian v. SAIC Class Action Lawsuit

 

This class action lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs without prejudice on September 21, 2005.

 

Other

 

The Company is subject to investigations and reviews relating to compliance with various laws and regulations with respect to its role as a contractor to agencies and departments of the U.S. Government and in connection with performing services in countries outside of the United States. Such matters can lead to criminal, civil or administrative proceedings and the Company could be faced with fines, repayments or compensatory damages. Adverse findings could also have a material adverse effect on the Company because of its reliance on government contracts. Although the Company can give no assurance, based upon management’s evaluation of current matters that are subject to U.S Government investigations of which the Company is aware and based on management’s current understanding of the facts, the Company does not believe that the outcome of any such matter would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or its ability to conduct business.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

 

The Company is also involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of its business, none of which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, based upon current information, is expected to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or its ability to conduct business.

 

In the normal conduct of its business, the Company seeks to monetize its patent portfolio through licensing agreements. The Company also has and will continue to defend its patent positions when it believes its patents have been infringed and is involved in such litigation from time to time. As described in Note 18, on March 15, 2005, the Company sold its Telcordia subsidiary. Pursuant to the terms of the definitive stock purchase agreement, the Company will receive 50% of the net proceeds Telcordia receives in the future in connection with the prosecution of certain patent rights.

 

The Company is subject to routine compliance reviews by the IRS and other taxing jurisdictions on various tax matters, which may include challenges to various tax positions the Company has taken. The Company has recorded liabilities for tax contingencies for open years based upon its best estimate of the taxes ultimately expected to be paid. As of January 31, 2006, $113 million of tax accruals have been recorded for tax contingencies. The Company is currently undergoing several routine IRS and other tax jurisdiction examinations. While the Company believes it has adequate accruals for tax contingencies, there is no assurance that the tax authorities will not assert that the Company owes taxes in excess of its accruals, or that there will not be accruals in excess of the final amounts agreed to by the tax authorities.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Science Applications International Corporation and all majority-owned and wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company or SAIC). All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company recognized revenues of $4 million and $3 million on sales to certain unconsolidated affiliates during the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

The accompanying financial information has been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore does not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates have been prepared by management on the basis of the most current and best available information and actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

In the opinion of management, financial information as of April 30, 2006 and for the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005 reflects all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation thereof. Operating results for the three months ended April 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2007. For further information and details on the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the three months ended April 30, 2006.

 

In the condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended April 30, 2005, the Company reclassified $13 million from cost of revenues to selling, general and administrative expenses to be consistent with the classification of these costs for the three months ended April 30, 2006 and its allocation of costs under cost accounting standards for U.S. Government contracts. This reclassification did not change previously reported net income or earnings per share.

 

In the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 2005, the Company reclassified $39 million from stock-based compensation to changes in accrued payroll and employee benefits to reflect issuances of vested stock during the three months ended April 30, 2005 as settlement of certain bonus and retirement plan amounts expensed during the prior fiscal year. In addition, the Company disclosed these issuances of vested stock in the supplemental schedule of non-cash financing activities. This reclassification had no effect on previously reported total cash flows used in continuing operating activities.

 

In the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 2005, the Company reclassified $12 million from repurchases of common stock to issuances of common stock to reflect shares issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company previously reported these amounts as a reduction to repurchases of common stock because they were part of the net limited market trade activity. This reclassification had no effect on previously reported total cash flows used in financing activities.

 

In the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 2005, the Company increased purchases of marketable securities available-for-sale and proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities and other investments by $871 million to reflect purchases, sales and maturities of

(Unaudited)

 

marketable securities that occur within the Company’s investment portfolios that are managed by third-party investment managers (managed portfolios). The Company previously did not report the cash outflows and inflows that occurred within the managed portfolios as purchases and sales and maturities, respectively, but rather reported the cash outflows and inflows between the Company and the managed portfolios. This reclassification had no effect on previously reported total cash flows used in investing activities.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

On March 15, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its subsidiary, Telcordia Technologies, Inc. (Telcordia). The operating results of Telcordia have been classified as discontinued operations (Note 11) for all periods presented.

 

Common Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 1 billion shares of Class A common stock, par value $.01 and 5 million shares of Class B common stock, par value $.05. As of April 30, 2006 and January 31, 2006, 169,280,000 and 167,379,000 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, and 206,000 shares of Class B common stock were issued and outstanding. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into 20 shares of Class A common stock. Class A common stock and Class B common stock are collectively referred to as common stock in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements and are shown assuming that the Class B common stock was converted into Class A common stock.

 

On September 1, 2005, the Company’s newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, SAIC, Inc., filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an initial public offering of common stock (public offering). In addition, SAIC, Inc. filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC and the Company expects to deliver to its stockholders a proxy statement/prospectus to obtain stockholder approval of a merger agreement pursuant to which the Company would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of SAIC, Inc. Subject to stockholder approval of the merger agreement, satisfactory market conditions and other factors, the Company expects to complete the merger and the public offering in the Fall of 2006.

 

In conjunction with the proposed public offering, the Company expects to pay a special dividend to the holders of the Company’s common stock as of a record date to be set by the board of directors. Payment will be conditioned upon completion of the public offering and it is anticipated that the dividend will be paid within 25 days after the completion of the public offering.

As discussed in more detail in Note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, certain corporate expenses are reflected in segment operating income based on agreed-upon allocations to the segments or as required by Government Cost Accounting Standards. Corporate expense variances to these allocations are retained in the Corporate and Other segment. In certain circumstances, for management purposes as determined by the chief operating decision maker, certain revenue and expense items related to operating business units are excluded from the evaluation of a business unit’s operating performance and are reflected in the Corporate and Other segment. The elimination of intersegment revenues is also reflected in the Corporate and Other segment. There were no sales between segments for the three months ended April 30, 2006 compared to $2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2005. Sales between segments are recorded at cost.

 

The following is a summary of depreciation and amortization included in the calculation of reportable segment operating income:

Note 3 – Stock-Based Compensation:

 

Change in Accounting Principle. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” on February 1, 2006. This statement requires that the Company recognize as compensation expense the fair value of all stock-based awards, including stock options, granted to employees and others in exchange for services, typically over the period during which such awards are earned. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the Company recognize as compensation expense the 15% discount on employee stock purchases made under its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). SFAS No. 123(R) also requires that cash flows resulting from excess tax benefits be classified as cash flows from financing activities instead of cash flows from operating activities.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

(Unaudited)

 

Prior to February 1, 2006, the Company accounted for employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Under the intrinsic value method, no compensation expense was reflected in net income for stock options granted to employees, as all stock options had an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Additionally, no compensation expense was recognized for the ESPP because it was a non-compensatory plan. Compensation expense was recognized for grants of vesting and vested stock awards based on the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, with vesting stock expense recognized on the straight line basis over the period under which the awards are earned. The Company accounted for stock options granted to non-employees using the fair value method under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”

 

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method for stock-based awards granted after September 1, 2005, the date the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, SAIC, Inc., made its initial filing with the SEC for the public offering described in Note 1, and the prospective transition method for stock-based awards granted prior to September 1, 2005. Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation expense associated with options granted between September 1, 2005 and January 31, 2006, valued at approximately $11 million, is recognized over their remaining vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, results from prior periods have not been restated. Under the prospective transition method, the Company continues to account for options granted prior to September 1, 2005 under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25. Accordingly, no compensation expense will be recognized for options granted prior to September 1, 2005 unless a modification is made to those options. This difference in accounting treatment is due to the fact that the Company met the definition of a non-public company under SFAS No. 123 and applied the minimum value method (assumed no volatility in its pro forma stock-based employee compensation expense disclosures) under SFAS No. 123 prior to September 1, 2005. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method was de minimus.

 

Stock-Based Compensation Expense. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on options and vesting stock awards using the straight-line method over the period the awards are earned. Total stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended April 30, 2006 was $15 million, including $5 million associated with stock options, $7 million associated with vesting stock awards and $3 million associated with the 15% discount on the fair value of stock purchased by employees through the ESPP. For the three months ended April 30, 2005, stock-based compensation expense was $8 million associated with vesting stock awards. These amounts do not include amounts accrued under the Company’s Bonus Compensation Plan during the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005 as the amounts to be settled through the issuance of vested stock are not known when the accruals are made. The Company issued $32 million and $39 million in vested stock during the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, as settlement of certain bonus and retirement plan amounts expensed during the respective prior fiscal years.

 

Tax benefits recognized related to stock-based compensation for the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005 were $5 million and $3 million, respectively. Tax benefits realized related to the exercise of options for the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005 were $17 million and $27 million, respectively, and were recorded as additional paid-in capital. These amounts continue to be shown as cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying statements of cash flows as the tax benefits relate to awards granted prior to September 1, 2005.

Stock Options. The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan provides the Company and its affiliates’ employees, directors and consultants the opportunity to receive stock options, stock appreciation rights, vested stock awards, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards, and other similar types of stock awards. Unless otherwise stated in an award agreement, the plan also provides that outstanding awards will become fully vested upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company as defined by the plan. Options are granted with exercise prices equal to the fair value of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant and for terms not greater than ten years. Options outstanding at April 30, 2006 were granted with terms of five years. Options granted under this plan generally become exercisable 20%, 20%, 20%, and 40% after one, two, three and four years, respectively. As of April 30, 2006, 54 million shares of common stock were authorized and reserved for issuance upon exercise of options which are outstanding or which may be granted. Shares are issued from this reserve upon exercise.

 

The fair value of the Company’s stock option awards is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. As the Company’s common stock is not publicly-traded, expected volatility is based on a weighted average historical volatility, for a period consistent with the estimated option lives, of a group of publicly-traded peer companies. The risk-free rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond with a maturity equal to the expected term of the option on the grant date. The Company uses historical data to estimate forfeitures. The expected term of awards granted is derived from historical experience under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and represents the period of time the awards are expected to be outstanding. The fair value of options granted during the three months ended April 30, 2006 was determined using the following weighted average assumptions: no dividend yield, a weighted average volatility rate of 33%, a risk-free rate of 4.7% and expected lives of 3.9 years. The weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended April 30, 2006 was $14.35.

During the three months ended April 30, 2006, the Company received cash from exercises of stock options of $16 million and common stock exchanged at fair value upon exercise of stock options of $52 million.

 

As of April 30, 2006, there was $56 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options granted under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.6 years. As explained, the Company continues to account for stock option awards granted prior to September 1, 2005 under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25.

 

Stock Awards. The Company has a Bonus Compensation Plan (BCP) which provides for bonuses to reward outstanding performance in the form of cash, vested or vesting shares of the Company’s common stock. The board of directors or its committee administering the bonus compensation plan may at any time amend, suspend, or terminate the plan. Awards of vesting shares of the Company’s common stock vest at the rate of 20%, 20%, 20% and 40% after one, two, three and four years, respectively. Outstanding bonus awards become fully vested upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company as defined by the plan unless otherwise provided in an award agreement.

 

The fair value of the Company’s stock awards granted through the BCP is determined based on the fair value of the Company’s Class A common stock on the grant date. Compensation expense is measured at the grant date and generally recognized over the vesting period of four years. The number of shares available for grant under the BCP is determined each year by the administering committee. The BCP does not provide for a maximum number of shares available for future issuance however, the bonus pool (including cash and stock awards) for each fiscal year cannot exceed 7.5% of the Company’s revenues for the fiscal year.

 

Vesting stock award activity under the BCP for the three months ended April 30, 2006 was as follows:

As of April 30, 2006, there was $82 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to vesting stock awards granted under the BCP which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years. The fair value of vesting stock awards that vested under the BCP during the three months ended April 30, 2006 was $27 million.

 

Stock Compensation Plans. The Company has a Stock Compensation Plan (SCP) and Management Stock Compensation Plan (MSCP), together referred to as the Stock Compensation Plans. The board of directors may at any time amend or terminate the Stock Compensation Plans. The Stock Compensation Plans provide for awards

in share units to eligible employees. Benefits from these plans are payable in shares of the Company’s common stock that are held in a trust for the benefit of the plans’ participants. The fair value of stock awards granted under the Stock Compensation Plans, which are vesting stock awards, is based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant.

 

For awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, participants’ interests in these share units vested on a seven year schedule at the rate of one-third at the end of each of the fifth, sixth and seventh years following the date of the award. In 2006, the board of directors amended the vesting period for new awards granted under the Stock Compensation Plans. New awards granted on or after January 1, 2006 vest 100% after four years. Upon a change in control of the Company as defined by the plan, participant accounts will become fully vested and will be immediately distributed. The Stock Compensation Plans do not provide for a maximum number of shares available for future issuance.

As of April 30, 2006, there was $32 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to vesting stock awards granted under the Stock Compensation Plans which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.0 years.

 

ESPP. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount of 15% of fair value on the date of purchase. The current ESPP terminates on July 31, 2007, unless terminated earlier by the board of directors.

 

Note 4 – Acquisition:

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2006, the Company completed one acquisition in its Government segment for an aggregate purchase price of $16 million, which consisted of $15 million paid in cash and accrued acquisition payments of $1 million payable once certain conditions have been met. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in identifiable intangible assets of $2 million and goodwill of $12 million, all of which is tax deductible. The Company has not yet obtained all the information required to complete the purchase price allocation related to this acquisition. The final purchase price allocation will be completed once the information identified by the Company has been received, which should not be longer than one year from the date of acquisition.

Amortizable intangible assets with a gross carrying value of $7 million became fully amortized at January 31, 2006 and, therefore, are no longer reflected in the gross carrying value after that date. Amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets was $5 million and $6 million for the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

Based on the intangible assets as of April 30, 2006, the estimated annual amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets, including the preliminary allocation of purchase price and related intangible amortization of acquisitions made through April 30, 2006, is as follows (in millions):

Actual amortization expense in future periods could differ from these estimates as a result of acquisitions, divestitures, impairments and other factors.

 

There were no impairment losses for intangible assets during the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005.

 

Note 6 – Revolving Credit Facilities:

 

As of April 30, 2006, the Company had two revolving credit facilities (old credit facilities) totaling $750 million with a group of financial institutions that provided for (i) a five-year revolving credit facility of up to $500 million, which allowed borrowings until July 2007 and (ii) a five-year revolving credit facility of up to $250 million, which allowed borrowings until July 2009. Borrowings under the old credit facilities were

unsecured and bore interest at a rate determined, at the Company’s option, based on either LIBOR plus a margin or a defined base rate. The Company paid a facility fee on the total commitment amount and a fee if utilization exceeded 50% of the total commitment amount. There were no borrowings outstanding under the old credit facilities as of April 30, 2006.

 

As of April 30, 2006, the entire amount under the $250 million five-year revolving credit facility was available and $387 million of the $500 million five-year revolving credit facility was available, reduced by $113 million of standby letters of credit issued in connection with the Company’s contract with the Greek government. The terms of these standby letters of credit require them to remain outstanding until the customer formally accepts the system pursuant to the contract. The Company is in dispute with the customer on this contract as discussed in Note 10. The old credit facilities contained various covenants and restrictions, including financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants as of April 30, 2006.

 

On June 6, 2006, the Company terminated the old credit facilities and entered into a new five-year credit facility (new credit facility) to provide for borrowings of up to $750 million through 2011. Borrowings under the new credit facility are unsecured and bear interest at a rate determined, at the Company’s option, based on either LIBOR plus a margin or a defined base rate. The Company pays a facility fee on the total commitment amount and an additional fee if borrowings exceed 50% of the total commitment amount, which fees may vary depending upon the Company’s credit ratings. The new credit facility contains certain customary representations and warranties, as well as certain affirmative and negative covenants. The financial covenants contained in the new credit facility require that, for a period of four fiscal quarters beginning with the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, the Company maintains a ratio of consolidated funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of not more than 3.0 to 1.0 and a ratio of EBITDA to interest expense of greater than 3.5 to 1.0. Other covenants restrict certain of the Company’s activities, including among other things, its ability to create liens, dispose of certain assets and merge or consolidate with other entities. The new credit facility also contains certain customary events of default, including, among others, defaults based on certain bankruptcy and insolvency events, nonpayment, cross-defaults to other debt, breach of specified covenants, ERISA events, material monetary judgments, change of control events and the material inaccuracy of its representations and warranties.

 

The Company transitioned its standby letters of credit issued in connection with the Greek contract to the new credit facility on June 6, 2006.

For the three months ended April 30, 2005, the Company recognized impairment losses of $2 million on certain private equity securities due to declines in fair market value that were deemed to be other-than-temporary. The carrying value of the Company’s private equity securities as of April 30, 2006 was $38 million.

 

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies:

 

Telkom South Africa

 

As disclosed in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s former Telcordia subsidiary instituted arbitration proceedings before the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) against Telkom South Africa in March 2001 as a result of a contract dispute. Telcordia is seeking to recover damages of approximately $130 million, plus interest at a rate of 15.5%. Telkom South Africa counterclaimed, seeking substantial damages from Telcordia, including repayment of approximately $97 million previously paid to Telcordia under the contract and the excess costs of reprocuring a replacement system, estimated by Telkom South Africa to be $234 million. On September 27, 2002, Telcordia prevailed in the initial phase of the arbitration. The arbitrator found that Telkom South Africa repudiated the contract and dismissed Telkom South Africa’s counterclaims against Telcordia. The damages to be recovered by Telcordia were to be determined in a second phase of the arbitration. Telkom South Africa successfully challenged the arbitrator’s partial award in the Company’s favor in the South African trial court and the Company has appealed this decision to the South African Supreme Court. In a separate proceeding, the Company unsuccessfully attempted to have its partial arbitration award confirmed by the U.S. District Court (New Jersey). The Company has appealed the ruling of United States District Court (New Jersey) to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Oral arguments were held on January 13, 2006 and the parties are awaiting a decision.

 

On March 15, 2005, the Company sold Telcordia to an affiliate of Warburg Pincus LLC and Providence Equity Partners Inc. (Note 11). Pursuant to the definitive stock purchase agreement relating to the sale, the Company is entitled to receive all of the net proceeds from any judgment or settlement with Telkom South Africa, and, if this dispute is settled or decided adversely against Telcordia, the Company is obligated to indemnify the buyer of Telcordia against any loss that may result from such an outcome.

 

Due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved in the dispute and the uncertainty of litigation in general, the outcome of the arbitration and the related court actions are not presently determinable; however, an adverse resolution could materially harm the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities recorded related to this contract and the related legal proceedings as of April 30, 2006 and January 31, 2006. The Company does not believe a material loss is probable based on the procedural standing of the case and its understanding of applicable laws and facts.

 

Firm Fixed-Price Contract with the Greek Government

 

Original Contract. In May 2003, the Company entered into a euro-denominated firm-fixed-price contract with the Hellenic Republic of Greece (the Customer), as represented by the Ministry of Defense, to provide a C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Coordination and Integration) System (the System), to support the 2004 Athens Summer Olympic Games (the Olympics), and to serve as the security system for the Customer’s public order departments following completion of the Olympics. The System is comprised of 29 subsystems, organized into three major functional areas: the Command Decision Support System (CDSS), the Communication and Information System and the Command Center Systems. A significant amount of effort on this contract has been and will be performed by subcontractors to the Company. Under the contract, the System was to be completed,

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)

(Unaudited)

 

tested, and accepted by September 1, 2004, at a price of approximately $199 million. To date, the Company has received advance payments totaling approximately $147 million. The contract also requires the Company to provide five years of System support and maintenance for approximately $12 million and ten years of TETRA radio network services for approximately $104 million. Under the terms of the contract, the Company’s obligation to provide the System support and maintenance and TETRA radio network services only begins upon System acceptance, which has not yet occurred. The contract contains an unpriced option for an additional five years of TETRA network services.

 

The Memorandum. On July 7, 2004, shortly before the start of the Olympics, the Company entered into an agreement (the Memorandum) with the Hellenic Republic, as represented by the Committee for Planning and Monitoring the Olympic Security Command Centers, pursuant to which the parties recognized and agreed that: (1) delivery and acceptance of the System had not been completed by the scheduled date; (2) the System would be delivered for use at the Olympics in its then-current state, which included certain omissions and deviations attributable to both parties; (3) a new process for testing and acceptance of the System would be instituted, with final acceptance to occur no later than October 1, 2004; (4) the Customer would proceed with the necessary actions for the completion of a contract modification as soon as possible; and (5) the Company would receive a milestone payment of approximately $23 million immediately upon the execution of the contract modification.

 

Delivery of System, Testing and Negotiations. The Customer took delivery of the System for use and operation during the Olympics, and continues to use significant portions of the System. The System has not been accepted by the Customer under the terms of the Greek contract, and the contract modification anticipated under the Memorandum has not been obtained. In November 2004, the Company delivered a revised version of the CDSS portion of the System to the Customer. Beginning in December 2004 and continuing through April 2005, the Customer performed subsystems acceptance testing on each of the subsystems comprising the System based on test procedures that had not been mutually agreed upon by the parties. The Customer identified numerous omissions and deviations in its test reports. The Company believes that certain of these omissions and deviations are valid, while others are not. From December 2004 through April 2005, the Company engaged in negotiations with the Customer concerning a modification to the contract to resolve the disputes. On April 28, 2005, the Customer formally notified the Company that the System delivered had significant deviations and omissions from the contractual requirements and may not be accepted.

 

Under the terms of the contract and the Memorandum between the parties, the Company submitted various proposals to the Customer to remedy these omissions and deviations. The most significant of these proposals includes a redevelopment of CDSS using an alternative technical approach, and a redesigned port security system. The first proposal for an alternative CDSS technical approach was submitted in June 2005. On November 25, 2005, the Customer notified the Company that its technical advisors declined to recommend either the acceptance or rejection of the Company’s remediation plan for an alternative CDSS. On December 5, 2005, the Company sent a letter advising the Customer that unless an agreement is reached with respect to the alternative CDSS approach, the Company intends to initiate the dispute process contained in the Greek contract, which includes binding arbitration as its final step. On December 13, 2005, the Customer delivered a letter to the Company indicating that the Company’s proposal based on the alternative CDSS approach is deemed “acceptable in principle” on the terms proposed. The parties reengaged in negotiations in early January 2006 on a contract modification to incorporate these proposals. A contract modification has not yet been executed and would be required in order for the Company to implement the proposals and achieve Customer acceptance of the System. The Company anticipates that such modification would include a revised testing and acceptance procedure which would provide for acceptance of individual subsystems on satisfactory completion of the testing of the subsystem. Until such acceptance occurs, the Customer has advised the Company that it cannot negotiate appropriate price adjustments for omissions and deviations of a subsystem.

Subcontracts. The Company has subcontracted a significant portion of the requirements under the Greek contract, including the lease of certain equipment and TETRA network services for at least 10 years. In order for the Company to implement the technical proposals submitted to the Customer and contemplated by the modification being negotiated with the Customer, the Company would need to negotiate and execute modifications to the subcontracts with our subcontractors, including price. Certain of the omissions and deviations of the System are attributable to subcontracted work. Payments to the subcontractors are generally required only if the Company receives payment from the Customer related to the subcontractors’ work. If it is determined the Company breached its obligations to any of its subcontractors, the Company may incur additional losses.

 

Under the terms of the Greek contract, the Company is not obligated to provide TETRA network services to the Customer until the Customer has accepted the System. The Company and its subcontractors have provided System support and maintenance and TETRA network services to the Customer since the Olympics in August 2004, without receiving any compensation. In September 2005, the principal subcontractor notified the Company that it would no longer commit to continue providing TETRA network services, although it has continued to provide such services to date. On May 19, 2006, a second-tier subcontractor working for the Company’s principal subcontractor responsible for providing the TETRA radio network services provided legal notice to the principal subcontractor that it will stop supporting and maintaining the TETRA subsystem at an unspecified date in the future. In a letter dated May 24, 2006, the principal subcontractor requested payment within 10 days from the Company for all payments under the subcontract. In a letter dated May 26, 2006, the Company advised its principal subcontractor that under the terms of the subcontract, receipt of full payment from the Customer is a condition to the Company’s obligation to pay the subcontractor and that the Customer’s refusal to pay the Company relates in part to deviations and omissions in the principal subcontractor’s work.

 

Legality of the Contract. In March 2005, the Customer notified the Company that an issue had been raised concerning the legality of the contract by a Greek government auditor. In August 2005, the Company learned that the Court of Auditors of the Hellenic Republic (the Greek Audit Court), a government agency with authority to review and audit procurements, issued a decision finding that certain mistakes in the procurement process committed by the Greek government rendered the contract illegal. The Customer requested revocation of the Greek Audit Court decision. On November 17, 2005, the Greek Audit Court issued a decision finding that the errors committed by the Customer in the procurement process constituted “pardonable mistakes” with respect to prior payments under the contract. Although the rationale of the Greek Audit Court decision suggests that the Customer may be able to make future payments under the contract, the impact of the decision on the legality of the contract and the Customer’s ability to make future payments is not clear. Recent communications from the Customer suggest that the Greek Audit Court may have to approve any modification to the contract, and payments made under the modified contract.

 

Financial Status and Contingencies of the Contract. The Company has recorded $121 million of contract losses as of April 30, 2006. While no losses were recorded on the contract during the three months ended April 30, 2006, $7 million was recorded during the three months ended April 30, 2005. These losses reflect the Company’s estimated total cost to complete the System and obtain Customer acceptance and estimated reductions in price as a result of omissions and deviations from the contract requirements. Because of the significant uncertainties related to ultimate acceptance and payment from the Customer, the Company’s current accounting treatment limits the total revenue to be realized under percentage of completion on the contract to the cash received to date. Although the Company expects to pursue remaining amounts owed under the terms of the contract, this reduction in total estimated revenues to be realized under the contract increased the total loss by $32 million during the year ended January 31, 2006, which is included in the loss amounts discussed above. Through April 30, 2006, the Company has recognized revenues of $119 million, which represents a portion of the $147 million cash collected to date based upon the percentage-of-completion method of revenue recognition.

As of April 30, 2006, the estimated future costs to complete the System and obtain Customer acceptance is $52 million. This estimated cost is included in the $121 million contract loss recorded as of April 30, 2006. Management has used this estimate and its judgment in evaluating the various uncertainties and assumptions necessary to recognize the total estimated losses on this contract. Such assumptions include obtaining mutual agreement with the Customer regarding system requirements, execution of a modification to the contract, completion of the System and Customer acceptance. The total costs are significantly affected by the timing of events such as executing a contract modification and ultimate Customer acceptance. Management has estimated that final acceptance of the System under a modified contract will occur in January 2008. The Company’s recorded losses exclude potential subcontractor payments associated with the omissions and deviations related to specific subsystems supplied by subcontractors in the amount of $13 million that management believes will not be paid under the subcontract terms.

 

The Company has $14 million of accounts receivable relating to Value Added Taxes (VAT) that it has paid and believes it is entitled to recover either as a refund from the taxing authorities or as a payment under the Greek contract upon final billing. The contract requires the Customer to pay amounts owed for VAT for the System delivered. Failure by the customer to pay these amounts could result in an additional obligation payable by the Company to the Greek taxing authorities and would increase the Company’s total losses on the contract.

 

In accordance with the terms of the contract, the Company is required to provide certain payment, performance and offset bonds in favor of the Customer. These bonding requirements have been met through the issuance of standby letters of credit. Under the terms of these bonding arrangements, the Customer currently has the right to call some or all of the $242 million of standby letters of credit outstanding. The letters of credit supporting the payment bonds ($157 million) and performance bonds ($33 million) may be called by the Customer submitting a written statement to the guaranteeing bank that the Company has not fulfilled its obligations under the contract. The letters of credit supporting the offset bonds ($52 million) may be called by the Customer submitting a written statement to the guaranteeing bank that the Company has not fulfilled its obligations under a separate offset contract requiring the Company, among other things, to use Greek subcontractors on the contract. The Company believes that any amounts obtained by the Customer through such a calling of these letters of credit may be retained by the Customer only as security against any actual damages it proves in arbitration, and that any excess must be returned to the Company. The Company does not currently believe it is probable that the Customer will call these standby letters of credit. If the standby letters of credit are called, the Company may have the right to call some or all of the $102 million in bonds provided by its subcontractors in connection with their work under the contract.

 

Arbitration Proceedings. Although the Company has been pursuing a contract modification with the Customer since shortly after the Memorandum was signed in July 2004, due to the difficulties in reaching mutually satisfactory terms, the Company instituted arbitration proceedings on April 21, 2006 before the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) against the Customer to pursue the Company’s rights and remedies provided for in the contract and the Memorandum and under Greek law. The arbitration complaint filed by the Company: (1) seeks an order under the contract that the Customer’s extended use of the System under the circumstances constitutes constructive acceptance and precludes the Customer from rejecting the System, (2) seeks damages for breach of contract, bad faith, use of the System and other damages, (3) seeks a determination as to the legal status of the contract as a result of the illegality issue discussed above, and (4) if the contract is determined to be illegal, seeks compensation for the commercial value of the System delivered and its use by the Customer and other damages. The Company is seeking damages in excess of $76 million, with the precise amount to be proven in arbitration. The Company agreed to extend to July 31, 2006 the time period in which the Customer may submit its response to the arbitration complaint in order to provide the parties additional time to attempt to negotiate and complete a modification. Under the terms of the contract, disputes are subject to

ultimate resolution by binding arbitration before a panel of three Greek arbitrators in Greece. Due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved and the uncertainty of litigation in general, the outcome of the arbitration is uncertain. There is no assurance that the Company will prevail in the arbitration.

 

In the event the Company does not prevail in the arbitration or is unable to resolve the various disputes under the contract as anticipated, it could incur additional losses. If the Customer asserts claims against the Company in the arbitration and it is determined that the Company has breached the contract and, as a result, owes the Customer damages, such damages could include, but are not limited to, (1) re-procurement costs, (2) repayment of amounts paid under the contract, (3) penalties for delayed delivery in an amount up to $15 million, and (4) forfeiture of good performance bonds in the amount of $33 million.

 

Successful imposition of damages or claims by the Customer or subcontractors against the Company, the calling of the Company’s bonds, additional contract costs required to fulfill its obligations, or additional revenue reductions arising from the negotiation of the contract modification could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

DS&S Joint Venture

 

In March 2006, the Company sold its interest in DS&S, a joint venture in which the Company owned a 50% interest. As part of the sale, the Company agreed to indemnify the purchaser for certain legal costs and expenses, including those relating to an on-going government investigation involving DS&S and any litigation resulting from that investigation up to the sum of the sales price of $9 million plus the amount received by the Company in repayment of a $1 million loan receivable owed by DS&S. As of April 30, 2006, the Company has deferred any gain on this sale pending resolution of the on-going investigation and any resulting litigation.

 

INTESA Joint Venture

 

INTESA, a Venezuelan joint venture the Company formed in 1997 with Venezuela’s national oil company, PDVSA, to provide information technology services in Latin America, is involved in various legal proceedings. The Company had previously consolidated its 60% interest in the joint venture, but the operations of INTESA were classified as discontinued operations as of January 31, 2003 and INTESA is currently insolvent. PDVSA has refused to take action to dissolve the joint venture or have it declared bankrupt.

 

Outsourcing Services Agreement and Guarantee. INTESA had derived substantially all its revenues from an outsourcing services agreement with PDVSA that it entered into at the time the joint venture was formed. The services agreement expired on June 30, 2002 and the parties were not able to reach agreement on a renewal. The Company guaranteed INTESA’s obligations under the services agreement to PDVSA. Under the terms of the services agreement, INTESA’s liability for damages to PDVSA in any calendar year is capped at $50 million. As a result, the Company’s maximum potential liability to PDVSA under the guarantee in any calendar year, based on the Company’s guarantee of their ownership interest in INTESA, is $20 million. To date, PDVSA has not asserted any claims.

 

Expropriation of the Company’s Interest in INTESA. In 2003 and 2004, PDVSA and the Venezuelan government took certain actions, including denying INTESA access to certain of its facilities and assets, which prevented INTESA from continuing operations. In 2004, the Overseas Private Investment Company (OPIC), a U.S. governmental entity that provides insurance coverage against expropriation of U.S. business interests by foreign governments, determined that the Venezuelan government had expropriated the Company’s interest in INTESA without compensation and paid the Company approximately $6 million in settlement of its claim.

Employment Claims of Former INTESA Employees. INTESA is a defendant in a number of lawsuits brought by former employees seeking unpaid severance and pension benefits. PDVSA and SAIC Bermuda, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and the entity that held the Company’s interest in INTESA, were added as defendants in a number of these suits. Based on the procedural standing of the cases and the Company’s understanding of applicable laws and facts, the Company believes that its exposure to any possible losses related to these employment claims is either remote, or if reasonably possible, not material.

 

Other Legal Proceedings Involving INTESA. The Attorney General of Venezuela initiated a criminal investigation of INTESA in 2003 alleging unspecified sabotage by INTESA employees. The Company believes this investigation is inactive. In connection with the Company’s expropriation claim, OPIC determined that INTESA did not sabotage PDVSA’s infrastructure as alleged by PDVSA and the Venezuelan government. In addition, the SENIAT, the Venezuelan tax authority, filed a claim against INTESA in 2004 for approximately $30 million for alleged non-payment of VAT taxes in 1998.

 

Potential Financial Impact. Many issues relating to INTESA, including the termination of the services agreement and the employment litigation brought by former INTESA employees, remain unresolved. Due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved in these matters and the uncertain economic and political environment in Venezuela, the outcome is not presently determinable and no amounts have been accrued; however, adverse resolutions could materially harm the Company’s business and could have a material adverse affect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Other Joint Ventures

 

The Company is an investor in Danet Partnership GbR (Danet GbR), a German partnership, accounted for under the equity method. Danet GbR is the controlling shareholder in Danet GmbH, a German operating company. Danet GbR has an internal equity trading market similar to the Company’s limited market. The Company is required to provide liquidity rights to the other Danet GbR investors in certain circumstances. Absent a change in control whereby the Company gains control over Danet GbR, these rights allow Danet GbR investors who are withdrawing from the partnership to put their Danet GbR shares to the Company in exchange for the current fair value of those shares. If the Company gains control over Danet GbR, all Danet GbR investors have the right to put their Danet GbR shares to the Company in exchange for the current fair value of those shares. If Danet GbR investors put their shares to the Company, the Company may pay the put price in shares of its common stock or cash. The Company does not currently record a liability for these put rights because their exercise is contingent upon the occurrence of future events which the Company cannot determine will occur with any certainty. During the three months ended April 30, 2006, the Company paid less than $1 million to withdrawing Danet GbR investors who exercised their right to put their Danet GbR shares to the Company. The maximum potential obligation assuming all the current Danet GbR investors were to put their Danet GbR shares to the Company was $7 million as of April 30, 2006. If the Company were to incur the maximum obligation and buy all the partnership shares currently held by other Danet GbR investors, the Company would then own 100% of Danet GbR and would hold a controlling interest in Danet GmbH.

 

The Company has a guarantee that relates only to claims brought by the sole customer of another of its joint ventures, Bechtel SAIC Company, LLC, for specific contractual nonperformance of the joint venture. The Company also has a cross-indemnity agreement with the joint venture partner, pursuant to which it will only be ultimately responsible for the portion of any losses incurred under the guarantee equal to its ownership interest of 30%. Due to the nature of the guarantee, the Company is not able to project the maximum potential amount of future payments it could be required to make under the guarantee as of April 30, 2006 but, based on current conditions, the Company believes the likelihood of having to make any payment is remote. No liability relating to this guarantee is currently recorded.

On September 15, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with EG&G Technical Services, Inc. (EG&G) and Parsons Infrastructure & Technology Group, Inc. (Parsons) to form Research and Development Solutions, LLC (RDS), a Delaware limited liability company that will pursue contracts offered by the Department of Energy’s National Energy Technical Laboratory. The Company, EG&G and Parsons, each have a one-third equal joint venture interest. In conjunction with a contract award to RDS, each joint venture partner was required to sign a performance guarantee agreement with the U.S. Government. Under this agreement, the Company unconditionally guarantees all of RDS’s obligations to the U.S. Government under the contract award, which has an estimated total value of $217 million. The Company also has a cross-indemnity agreement with each of the other two joint venture partners to protect it from liabilities for any U.S. Government claims resulting from the actions of the other two joint venture partners and to limit the Company’s liability to its share of the contract work. As of April 30, 2006, the fair value of the guarantee is not material to the Company.

 

Other

 

The Company is subject to investigations and reviews relating to compliance with various laws and regulations with respect to its role as a contractor to agencies and departments of the U.S. Government and in connection with performing services in countries outside of the United States. Such matters can lead to criminal, civil or administrative proceedings and the Company could be faced with fines, repayments or compensatory damages. Adverse findings could also have a material adverse effect on the Company because of its reliance on government contracts. Although the Company can give no assurance, based upon management’s evaluation of current matters that are subject to U.S Government investigations of which the Company is aware and based on management’s current understanding of the facts, the Company does not believe that the outcome of any such matter would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or its ability to conduct business.

 

The Company is also involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of its business, none of which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, based upon current information, is expected to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or its ability to conduct business

 

In the normal conduct of its business, the Company seeks to monetize its patent portfolio through licensing agreements. The Company also has and will continue to defend its patent positions when it believes its patents have been infringed and is involved in such litigation from time to time. As described in Note 11, the Company sold its Telcordia subsidiary. Pursuant to the terms of the definitive stock purchase agreement, the Company will receive 50% of the net proceeds Telcordia receives in the future in connection with the prosecution of certain patent rights.

 

The Company is subject to routine compliance reviews by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other taxing jurisdictions on various tax matters, which may include challenges to various tax positions the Company has taken. The Company has recorded liabilities for tax contingencies for open years based upon its best estimate of the taxes ultimately expected to be paid. As of April 30, 2006, the income taxes payable balance included $58 million of tax expense accruals that have been recorded for tax contingencies. The Company is currently undergoing several routine IRS and other tax jurisdiction examinations. While the Company believes it has adequate accruals for tax contingencies, there is no assurance that the tax authorities will not assert that the Company owes taxes in excess of its accruals, or that there will not be accruals in excess of the final amounts agreed to by the tax authorities.

Note 11 – Discontinued Operations:

 

On March 15, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its Telcordia subsidiary for approximately $1.35 billion. The sales price continues to be subject to adjustment for the settlement of certain litigation and tax contingencies as described below. The Company recorded a gain on sale before income taxes of $861 million during the three months ended April 30, 2005. During the three months ended April 30, 2006, an income tax benefit of $12 million was recorded to reflect the resolution of certain tax contingencies related to Telcordia operations prior to the sale.

 

The Company is entitled to receive additional amounts as contingent sales price, including all of the net proceeds from any judgment or settlement of the litigation Telcordia initiated against Telkom South Africa and 50% of the net proceeds Telcordia receives in connection with the prosecution of certain patent rights of Telcordia as described in Note 10. In addition to customary indemnifications to the buyer, the Company has indemnified the buyer for all income tax obligations on and through the date of close and for any loss Telcordia may incur as a result of an adverse judgment in the Telkom South Africa litigation. While the Company believes it has adequate accruals for these contingencies, the ultimate resolution of these matters could differ from the amounts accrued. The impact of these future contingent payments or contingent purchase price proceeds as well as changes in estimates for these items, if any, will continue to be reflected as discontinued operations in the period in which they arise.

 

The operating results of Telcordia have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Telcordia’s operating results were as follows:

As a result of the sale of Telcordia, the Company’s common stock is no longer an investment choice in the Telcordia 401(k) Plan. As of April 30, 2006, the Telcordia 401(k) Plan held 3.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock, which had a fair value of $156 million. The Company no longer has a right of repurchase under the terms of its Restated Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the shares of the Company’s common stock held by the Telcordia 401(k) Plan or any other contractual right to repurchase these shares. However, the Company agreed to provide an opportunity for the Telcordia 401(k) Plan to sell shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in any trade in which its retirement plans have such an opportunity prior to completion of the public offering. Further, the Company agreed that if the public offering is completed, the Telcordia 401(k) Plan will have the same opportunity to sell shares of Class A preferred stock of SAIC, Inc. as other stockholders generally, but will not have the opportunity to sell such shares in any additional opportunities provided to the Company’s retirement plans that are not otherwise provided to other stockholders generally.

1.4 Tax Treatment of Merger.    The parties agree to treat the Merger for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under Sections 351 and/or 368 of the Code.

 

ARTICLE II

EFFECT ON CAPITAL STOCK AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

 

2.1 Effect on Capital Stock.    At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Old SAIC, New SAIC or SAIC MergerSub, or the stockholders, as applicable, of such entities:

 

(a)   (i) Each share of Old SAIC class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will convert into the right to receive in the aggregate two shares of New SAIC Class A preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares”); and (ii) each share of Old SAIC class B common stock, par value $0.05 per share, issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will, subject to the exercise of appraisal rights as set forth in Section 2.4 below, convert into the right to receive in the aggregate forty New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares. The New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares receivable by each holder as a result of such conversions will be divided among (A) shares of New SAIC series A-1 preferred stock; (B) shares of New SAIC series A-2 preferred stock; (C) shares of New SAIC series A-3 preferred stock; and (D) shares of New SAIC series A-4 preferred stock, on the following basis:

 

  (a)   20% will be series A-1 shares;

 

  (b)   20% will be series A-2 shares;

 

  (c)   30% will be series A-3 shares; and

 

  (d)   30% will be series A-4 shares.

 

As of the Effective Time, all shares of Old SAIC class A common stock and Old SAIC class B common stock will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be canceled and will cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Old SAIC class A common stock or Old SAIC class B common stock will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares to be issued in consideration therefor, subject to the exercise of appraisal rights as set forth in Section 2.4 below, and the right to receive any dividend declared and payable with respect to Old SAIC class A common stock and class B common stock held on the record date for such dividend.

 

(b)   Each share of SAIC MergerSub common stock outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will convert into one share of class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

 

2.2 Options or Other Rights.    Each option or other right to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Old SAIC class A common stock granted and outstanding pursuant to Old SAIC’s stock incentive or other plans immediately before the Effective Time will convert into an option or right to acquire shares of New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares. The number of New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares to be received by each holder pursuant to such option or other right shall be divided among the four series of New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares in the manner set forth in Section 2.1(a). From and after the Effective Time, New SAIC shall have all administrative authority with respect to such stock incentive or other plans to the extent that Old SAIC had such authority immediately prior to the Effective Time.

 

2.3 Stock Certificates.    Following the Effective Time, each holder of a certificate or certificates formerly representing outstanding shares of Old SAIC class A common stock or class B common stock shall surrender the

 

A-2

same to New SAIC or its transfer agent for cancellation. Upon surrender of such certificate or certificates, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a number of shares of a series of New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares as determined pursuant to Section 2.1(a). Until so surrendered, subject to Section 2.5, each certificate which prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Old SAIC common stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent ownership of the number of New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares determined under Section 2.1(a) as though such surrender had taken place. To the fullest extent authorized by law, all instructions, owners and notices recorded on Old SAIC’s stock ledger in respect of shares of Old SAIC’s common stock, whether certificated or uncertificated, will be recorded on the stock ledger of New SAIC in respect of such New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares. New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares issued pursuant to the Merger will be reflected on the stock ledger of New SAIC as uncertificated shares, except to the extent New SAIC determines that it will deliver a certificate or certificates therefor.

 

2.4 Appraisal Rights.    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the DGCL, any shares of Old SAIC class B common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by a stockholder who has neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who has demanded properly in writing appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Class B Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares. Such stockholders will be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of Class B Dissenting Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of such Section 262, except that all Class B Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who have failed to perfect or who effectively have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Class B Dissenting Shares under such Section 262 will thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4, if the Merger is terminated or abandoned, then the right of any stockholder to be paid the fair value of such stockholder’s Class B Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL will cease.

 

2.5 Dividends and Distributions.    No dividends or other distributions with respect to New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old SAIC stock certificate with respect to the New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares to be received in respect thereof pursuant to the Merger until the surrender of such certificate in accordance with this Article II. Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following surrender of any such certificate, there shall be paid to the person receiving New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares pursuant to the Merger, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the proportionate amount of any dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to the whole New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares received by the person pursuant to the Merger, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the proportionate amount of any dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such New SAIC Class A Preferred Shares.

 

2.6 Covenant to Contribute Capital.    Upon the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of New SAIC that is owned by Old SAIC immediately prior to the Effective Time will be returned to New SAIC as a contribution to capital.

Table of Contents

The number of authorized shares of any class or classes of stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Preferred Stock of the Corporation, voting as a single class, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL or any corresponding provision hereinafter enacted.

 

(B)    Common Stock and Class A Preferred Stock.

 

(1)    General.    The powers, preferences and rights of the Common Stock and the Class A Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, shall be in all respects identical, except as otherwise required by law or expressly provided in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Common Stock and the Class A Preferred Stock shall be subject to the express terms of the Preferred Stock and any series thereof that may come into existence from time to time. The powers, preferences and rights of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, shall be in all respects identical, except as otherwise required by law or expressly provided in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Unless otherwise required under applicable law (except as provided in Section (A)) or this Restated Certificate of Incorporation and subject to any rights that may be conferred upon the holders of any series of Preferred Stock that may come into existence from time to time, the holders of Common Stock and Class A Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

 

(3)    Dividends and Other Distributions.    Subject to the rights of any series of Preferred Stock that may come into existence from time to time, and subject to Section (B)(7)(g), the holders of Common Stock and the holders of Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to share equally, on a per share basis, in such dividends and other distributions of cash, property or shares of the Corporation as may be declared thereon by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor; provided, however, that in the event such dividend is paid in the form of shares of the Corporation’s capital stock or rights to acquire shares of the Corporation’s capital stock, the holders of Common Stock shall receive Common Stock or rights to acquire Common Stock, as the case may be, and the holders of Class A Preferred Stock shall receive Class A Preferred Stock or rights to acquire Class A Preferred Stock, as the case may be.

 

(4)    Subdivisions or Combinations.    If the Corporation shall in any manner split, subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall be proportionately split, subdivided or combined in the same manner and on the same basis; and if the Corporation shall in any manner split, subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock, the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be proportionately split, subdivided or combined in the same manner and on the same basis.

 

(5)    Mergers or Consolidations.    In the event of any merger or consolidation to which the Corporation is a party (whether or not the Corporation is the surviving entity), the holders of Common Stock

 

B-2


Table of Contents

and Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, on a per share basis, the same amount and form of stock and other securities and property (including cash).

 

(6)    Liquidation.    Subject to the rights of any series of Preferred Stock that may come into existence from time to time, in the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of Common Stock and the holders of Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to share equally, on a per share basis, in all assets of the Corporation of whatever kind available for distribution to the holders of the Corporation’s capital stock.

 

(7)    Conversion and Transfer Restrictions of the Class A Preferred Stock

 

(a) Each record holder of shares of Class A Preferred Stock may convert any or all of those shares into an equal number of shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that: (A) no share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock may be converted into a share of Common Stock prior to 90 days after the public offering date; (B) no share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock may be converted into a share of Common Stock prior to 180 days after the public offering date; (C) no share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock may be converted into a share of Common Stock prior to 270 days after the public offering date; and (D) no share of Series A-4 Preferred Stock may be converted into a share of Common Stock prior to 360 days after the public offering date. Shares of Common Stock may not be converted into shares of Class A Preferred Stock.

 

(b) A record holder of shares of Class A Preferred Stock may effect a voluntary conversion of any or all of those shares in accordance with Section (B)(7)(a) by surrendering the certificates, if any, for the number of shares to be converted, accompanied by any required tax transfer stamps, and delivering a written notice by the record holder to the Corporation stating that such record holder desires to convert such shares into the same number of shares of Common Stock and requesting that the Corporation issue such shares of Common Stock to persons named therein, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to each such person and the denominations in which the certificates therefor, if any, are to be issued. To the extent permitted by law, such a voluntary conversion shall be deemed to have been effected at the close of business on the date of surrender of certificates, if any, or the date of receipt by the Corporation of the notice of conversion, if the shares to be converted are uncertificated.

 

(c) Shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock may not be transferred to anyone other than a permitted transferee prior to 90 days after the public offering date. Shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock may not be transferred to anyone other than a permitted transferee prior to 180 days after the public offering date. Shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock may not be transferred to anyone other than a permitted transferee prior to 270 days after the public offering date. Shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock may not be transferred to anyone other than a permitted transferee prior to 360 days after the public offering date. Except as provided in this Section (B)(7)(c), any purported transfer of shares of Class A Preferred Stock prior to the applicable date referred to in this Section (B)(7)(c) shall be void. Shares of Class A Preferred Stock may be transferred to a permitted transferee prior to the applicable date referred to in this Section (B)(7)(c), and such permitted transferee will take such shares subject to the provisions of this Section (B)(7)(c). In addition to any vote required by law or this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, voting as a single class, shall be required in order to reduce, at any time within 360 days after the public offering date, the time periods in this Section (B)(7)(c) during which the Class A Preferred Stock cannot be transferred to anyone other than a permitted transferee.

 

B-3


Table of Contents

(d) After the applicable time period in Section (B)(7)(c) has expired, each share of Class A Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into one share of Common Stock upon the transfer of that share if, after the transfer, the share is not owned by a permitted transferee. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section (B)(7), each share of Class A Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into one share of Common Stock at the time of the transfer of that share in the following circumstances: (A) a transfer by a qualified retirement plan described in Section 401(a) of the Code sponsored by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (i) to the Corporation; (ii) to a distributee of any such plan pursuant to the terms of the plan; or (iii) pursuant to instructions of a participant in any such plan to sell or exchange Class A Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the plan; or (B) a transfer upon the exercise by a distributee of any such plan of any put right under the terms of the plan requiring the Corporation to purchase the share from the distributee. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, any transfer shall be deemed to be a transfer of Common Stock. In the case of any such automatic conversion, stock certificates, if any, formerly representing each such share of Class A Preferred Stock shall thereupon and, except for a transfer to the Corporation where the shares are being retired, thereafter be deemed to represent such number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Class A Preferred Stock could be converted pursuant to the terms hereof, such shares of Class A Preferred Stock so converted shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights of a holder with respect to such shares shall immediately terminate, except any rights under Section (B)(7)(g).

 

(e) Shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall be transferred on the books of the Corporation, and a new certificate therefor, if any, issued, upon presentation at the office of the Secretary of the Corporation (or at such additional place or places as may from time to time be designated by the Secretary of the Corporation) of the certificate, if any, for the shares, in proper form for transfer and accompanied by all requisite stock transfer tax stamps, and such documentation as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, including documentation showing compliance with this Article Fourth.

 

(f) Any person (other than a permitted transferee) who takes shares of Class A Preferred Stock in a transfer otherwise permitted by Section (B)(7) may treat the endorsement on the certificate, if any, representing such shares, or the instrument accompanying the transfer of such shares, as authorizing such person on behalf of the transferor to convert the shares in the manner provided in Section (B)(7)(a) for the purpose of registering the transfer to such person of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, and to give on behalf of the transferor the written notice of conversion required by Section (B)(7)(b), and may convert such shares of Class A Preferred Stock accordingly.

 

(g) Upon any conversion of shares of Class A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of this Section (B)(7), any dividend, for which the record date is prior to and the payment date is subsequent to the conversion, that has been declared on the shares of Class A Preferred Stock so converted shall be deemed to have been declared, and shall be payable, with respect to the shares of Common Stock into or for which the shares of Class A Preferred Stock are so converted, provided that any such dividend, for which the record date is prior to and the payment date is subsequent to the conversion, that is declared on the shares of Class A Preferred Stock payable in shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been declared, and shall be payable, in shares of Common Stock.

 

(h) Any shares of Class A Preferred Stock that have been converted to shares of Common Stock will be retired with no further action by the Corporation, and will resume the status of authorized and unissued Class A Preferred Stock.

 

B-4


Table of Contents

(i) The Corporation at all times shall reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, at least the number of shares of Common Stock that would become issuable upon the conversion of all shares of Class A Preferred Stock then outstanding.

 

(j) Every certificate for shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall bear a legend on its face reading as follows:

 

“The shares of Class A Preferred Stock represented by this certificate may not be transferred (which term includes, without limitation, buying a put option, selling a call option or entering into any other hedging or insurance transaction relating to the shares) to any person in connection with a transfer that does not meet the qualifications set forth in Section (B)(7) of Article Fourth of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, and no person who receives the shares represented by this certificate in connection with a transfer that does not meet the qualifications prescribed by Section (B)(7) of Article Fourth is entitled to own or to be registered as the record holder of the shares of Class A Preferred Stock represented by this certificate, but the record holder of this certificate may at any time (except as provided in Section (B)(7)(a) of Article Fourth) convert the shares of Class A Preferred Stock represented by this certificate into the same number of shares of Common Stock for purposes of effecting the sale or other disposition of the shares of Class A Preferred Stock to any person. Each holder of this certificate, by accepting the certificate, accepts and agrees to all of the foregoing.”

 

In the case of uncertificated shares, an appropriate notice containing the applicable transfer restrictions shall be sent to the registered owner thereof.

No section of the Bylaws shall be adopted, repealed, altered, amended or rescinded by the stockholders of the Corporation except by the vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation.

 

SEVENTH:    THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

 

(A)    Number of Directors and Classes of Directors.    The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be not less than ten (10) and not more than eighteen (18), and the exact number shall be fixed by the Board of Directors. The Board shall be divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III. Such classes shall be as nearly equal in number of directors as possible. Each such director shall serve for a term ending on the third annual meeting following the annual meeting at which such director was elected; provided, however, that the directors first elected to Class I shall serve for a term ending on the annual meeting next following the public offering date (used herein as defined for purposes of Article FOURTH), the directors first elected to Class II shall serve for a term ending on the second annual meeting next following the public offering date, and the directors first elected to Class III shall serve for a term ending on the third annual meeting next following the public offering date. The foregoing notwithstanding, each director shall serve until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, unless he or she shall resign, become disqualified, disabled or shall otherwise be removed.

 

At each annual election, the directors chosen to succeed those whose terms then expire shall be of the same class as the directors they succeed, unless, by reason of any intervening changes in the authorized number of

 

B-7


Table of Contents

directors, the Board shall designate one or more directorships whose term then expires as directorships of another class in order more nearly to achieve equality of number of directors among the classes.

 

Notwithstanding the rule that the three classes shall be as nearly equal in number of directors as possible, in the event of any change in the authorized number of directors each director then continuing to serve as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which he or she is a member until the expiration of his current term, or his or her prior death, resignation or removal. If any newly created directorship may, consistently with the rule that the three classes shall be as nearly equal in number of directors as possible, be allocated to one of two or more classes, the Board shall allocate it to that of the available classes whose term of office is due to expire at the earliest date following such allocation.

 

(B)    Removal.    Unless otherwise restricted by applicable law, any director or the entire Board may be removed, but only for cause, by the holders of two-thirds of the total voting power of all outstanding shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.

 

(C)    Cumulative Voting.    At any election of directors of the Corporation, a holder of any class or series of stock then entitled to vote in such election shall be entitled to as many votes as shall equal the number of votes which (except for this Section (C) as to cumulative voting) such holder would be entitled to cast for the election of directors with respect to such holder’s shares of stock multiplied by the number of directors to be elected in the election in which such holder’s class or series of shares is entitled to vote, and such holder may cast all of such votes for a single director or may distribute them among the number to be voted for, or for any two or more of them as such holder may see fit.

 

(D)    Vacancies.    Any vacancy in the Board of Directors, whether because of death, resignation, disqualification, an increase in the number of directors, or any other cause, may only be filled by vote of the majority of the remaining directors, although less than a quorum. Each director so chosen to fill a vacancy shall hold office until his or her successor shall have been elected and shall qualify or until such director shall resign or shall have been removed.

 

EIGHTH:    MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS.

 

(A)    No Action by Written Consent.    No action shall be taken by the stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and no action may be effected by any consent in writing in lieu of a meeting of stockholders.

 

(B)    Special Meetings.    Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, or by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, or by a committee of the Board of Directors which has been duly designated by the Board of Directors and whose powers and authority, as provided in a resolution of the Board of Directors or in the Bylaws of the Corporation, include the power to call such meetings, but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons; provided, however, that, if and to the extent that any special meeting of stockholders may be called by any other person or persons specified in any provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any amendment thereto or any certificate filed under Section 151(g) of the DGCL (or its successor statute as in effect from time to time hereafter), then such special meeting may also be called by the person or persons, in the manner, at the times and for the purposes so specified.

 

NINTH:    AMENDMENT.    The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred on stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

 

B-8


Table of Contents

the provisions set forth in Articles FIFTH, SIXTH, SEVENTH, EIGHTH and this Article NINTH may not be repealed or amended in any respect unless such repeal or amendment is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation.

6.    Terms and Conditions of Options

 

The following rules apply to all Options:

 

6.1    Price. No Option may have an Option Price less than 85% of the fair market value of the underlying share on the Grant Date, provided that the Administrator may grant Options with an Option Price less than 85% of the fair market value of the underlying share on the Grant Date in connection with a merger or acquisition, including substitution and/or conversion of options of an acquired entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event an Option is granted with an exercise price less than that set forth in this Section 6.1, if the mistake was unintentional, a violation of this provision shall not cause such Option to be void or voidable.

 

6.2    Term. No Option shall be exercisable after its Expiration Date. No Option may have an Expiration Date that is more than ten years after its Grant Date. Additional provisions regarding the term of Incentive Stock Options are provided in Sections 7(a) and 7(e).

 

6.3    Vesting. Options shall be exercisable: (a) on the Grant Date, or (b) in accordance with a schedule related to the Grant Date, the date the Awardee’s directorship, employment or consultancy begins, or a different date specified in the Award Agreement. Additional provisions regarding the vesting of Incentive Stock Options are provided in Section 7(c). No Option granted to an individual who is subject to the overtime pay provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act may be exercised before the expiration of six months after the Grant Date.

 

6.4    Form and Method of Payment.

 

(a) The Board or Committee shall determine the acceptable form and method of payment for exercising an Option. So long as variable accounting pursuant to “APB 25” does not apply and the Board or Committee otherwise determines there is no material adverse accounting consequence at the time of exercise, the Board or Committee may require the delivery in Shares for the value of the net appreciation of the Shares at the time of exercise over the exercise price. The difference between full number of Shares covered by the exercised portion of the Award and the number of Shares actually delivered shall be restored to the amount of Shares available for issuance under Section 3.1.

Table of Contents

(b) Acceptable forms of payment for all Option Shares are cash, check or wire transfer, denominated in U.S. dollars except as specified by the Administrator for non-U.S. Employees or non-U.S. sub-plans.

 

(c) In addition, the Administrator may permit payment to be made by any of the following methods:

 

(i) other shares of stock of the Company, or the designation of other shares of stock of the Company, which (A) are “mature” shares for purposes of avoiding variable accounting treatment under generally accepted accounting principles (generally mature shares are those that have been owned by the Awardee for more than six months on the date of surrender), and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the Option Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised;

 

(ii) provided that a public market exists for the Shares (or if applicable, the Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Shares), consideration received by the Company under a procedure under which a licensed broker-dealer advances funds on behalf of an Awardee or sells Option Shares (or if applicable, the Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Option Shares) on behalf of an Awardee (a “Cashless Exercise Procedure”), provided that if the Company extends or arranges for the extension of credit to an Awardee under any Cashless Exercise Procedure, no Officer or Director may participate in that Cashless Exercise Procedure;

 

(iii) cancellation of any debt owed by the Company or any Affiliate to the Awardee by the Company including without limitation waiver of compensation due or accrued for services previously rendered to the Company; and

 

(iv) any combination of the methods of payment permitted by any paragraph of this Section 6.4.

 

(d) The Administrator may also permit any other form or method of payment for Option Shares permitted by Applicable Law.

 

6.5    Nonassignability of Options. Except as determined by the Administrator, no Option shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by the Awardee except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. However, Options may be transferred and exercised in accordance with a Qualified Domestic Relations Order and may be exercised by a guardian or conservator appointed to act for the Awardee. Incentive Stock Options may only be assigned in compliance with Section 7(h).

 

6.6    Substitute Options. The Board may cause the Company to grant Substitute Options in connection with the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of equity securities of any entity (including by merger, tender offer, or other similar transaction) or of all or a portion of the assets of any entity. Any such substitution shall be effective on the effective date of the acquisition. Substitute Options may be Nonstatutory Options or Incentive Stock Options. Unless and to the extent specified otherwise by the Board, Substitute Options shall have the same terms and conditions as the options they replace, except that (subject to the provisions of Section 10) Substitute Options shall be Options to purchase Shares rather than equity securities of the granting entity, shall have an Option Price determined by the Board and shall be on terms that, as determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, properly reflect the substitution.

 

6.7    Repricing, etc. The Committee may reprice, cancel and regrant or otherwise adjust the exercise price of Options previously granted under the Plan.

7.    Incentive Stock Options

 

The following rules apply only to Incentive Stock Options and only to the extent these rules are more restrictive than the rules that would otherwise apply under this Plan. With the consent of the Awardee, or where this Plan provides that an action may be taken notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Administrator may deviate from the requirements of this Section, notwithstanding that any Incentive Stock Option modified by the Administrator will thereafter be treated as a Nonstatutory Option.

 

(a) The Expiration Date of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be later than ten years from its Grant Date, with the result that no Incentive Stock Option may be exercised after the expiration of ten years from its Grant Date.

 

(b) No Incentive Stock Option may be granted more than ten years from the date this Plan was approved by the Board.

 

(c) Options intended to be incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code that are granted to any single Awardee under all incentive stock option plans of the Company and its Affiliates, including incentive stock options granted under this Plan, may not vest at a rate of more than $100,000 in Fair Market Value of stock (measured on the grant dates of the options) during any calendar year. For this purpose, an option vests with respect to a given share of stock the first time its holder may purchase that share, notwithstanding any right of the Company to repurchase that share. Unless the administrator of that option plan specifies otherwise in the related agreement governing the option, this vesting limitation shall be applied by, to the extent necessary to satisfy this $100,000 rule, treating certain stock options that were intended to be incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code as Nonstatutory Options. The stock options or portions of stock options to be reclassified as Nonstatutory Options are those with the highest option prices, whether granted under this Plan or any other equity compensation plan of the Company or any Affiliate that permits that treatment. This Section 7(c) shall not cause an Incentive Stock Option to vest before its original vesting date or cause an Incentive Stock Option that has already vested to cease to be vested.

 

(d) In order for an Incentive Stock Option to be exercised for any form of payment other than those described in Section 6.4(b), that right must be stated at the time of grant in the Award Agreement relating to that Incentive Stock Option.

 

(e) Any Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, must have an Expiration Date that is not later than five years from its Grant Date, with the result that no such Option may be exercised after the expiration of five years from the Grant Date.

 

(f) The Option Price of an Incentive Stock Option shall never be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the Grant Date. The Option Price for the Shares covered by an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall never be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the Grant Date.

 

(g) Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. If an Awardee changes status from an Employee to a Consultant, that Awardee’s Incentive Stock Options become Nonstatutory Options if not exercised within the time period described in Section 7(i) (determined by treating that change in status as a Termination solely for purposes of this Section 7(g)).

 

C-10


Table of Contents

(h) No rights under an Incentive Stock Option may be transferred by the Awardee, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. During the life of the Awardee, an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only by the Awardee. The Company’s compliance with a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, or the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option by a guardian or conservator appointed to act for the Awardee, shall not violate this Section 7(h).

 

(i) An Incentive Stock Option shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Option if it remains exercisable after, and is not exercised within, the three-month period beginning with the Awardee’s Termination for any reason other than the Awardee’s death or disability (as defined in Section 22(e) of the Code). In the case of Termination due to death, an Incentive Stock Option shall continue to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option if it remains exercisable after, and is not exercised within, the three month period after the Awardee’s Termination provided it is exercised before the Expiration Date. In the case of Termination due to disability, an Incentive Stock Option shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Option if it remains exercisable after, and is not exercised within, one year after the Awardee’s Termination.

 

(j) An Incentive Stock Option may only be modified by the Board.

 

8.    Stock Appreciation Rights, Stock Awards and Cash Awards

 

8.1    Stock Appreciation Rights. The following rules apply to SARs:

 

(a) General. SARs may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards granted under this Plan. The Administrator may grant SARs to eligible participants subject to terms and conditions not inconsistent with this Plan and determined by the Administrator. The specific terms and conditions applicable to the Awardee shall be provided for in the Award Agreement. SARs shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at such times as the Administrator shall specify in the Award Agreement. The grant or vesting of a SAR may be made contingent on the achievement of Objectively Determinable Performance Conditions.

 

(b) Exercise of SARs. Upon the exercise of an SAR, in whole or in part, an Awardee shall be entitled to a payment in an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a fixed number of Shares covered by the exercised portion of the SAR on the date of exercise, over the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by the exercised portion of the SAR on the Grant Date. The amount due to the Awardee upon the exercise of a SAR shall be paid in cash, Shares or a combination thereof, over the period or periods specified in the Award Agreement. An Award Agreement may place limits on the amount that may be paid over any specified period or periods upon the exercise of a SAR, on an aggregate basis or as to any Awardee. A SAR shall be considered exercised when the Company receives written notice of exercise in accordance with the terms of the Award Agreement from the person entitled to exercise the SAR. If a SAR has been granted in tandem with an Option, upon the exercise of the SAR, the number of shares that may be purchased pursuant to the Option shall be reduced by the number of shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.

 

(c) Nonassignability of SARs. Except as determined by the Administrator, no SAR shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by the Awardee except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, SARs may be transferred and exercised in accordance with a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

 

(d) Substitute SARs. The Board may cause the Company to grant Substitute SARs in connection with the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of equity securities of any entity (including by

 

C-11


Table of Contents

merger, tender offer, or other similar transaction) or of all or a portion of the assets of any entity. Any such substitution shall be effective on the effective date of the acquisition. Unless and to the extent specified otherwise by the Board, Substitute SARs shall have the same terms and conditions as the SARs they replace, except that (subject to the provisions of Section 10) Substitute SARs shall be exercisable with respect to the Fair Market Value of Shares rather than equity securities of the granting entity and shall be on terms that, as determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, properly reflects the substitution.

 

(e) Repricing, etc. The Committee may reprice, cancel and regrant or otherwise adjust the exercise price of SARs previously granted under the Plan.

 

8.2    Stock Awards. The following rules apply to all Stock Awards:

 

(a) General. The specific terms and conditions of a Stock Award applicable to the Awardee shall be provided for in the Award Agreement. The Award Agreement shall state the number of Shares that the Awardee shall be entitled to receive or purchase, the terms and conditions on which the Shares shall vest (Stock Awards may be made in fully vested awards when appropriate in the discretion of the Administrator), the price to be paid, whether Shares are to be delivered at the time of grant or at some deferred date specified in the Award Agreement, whether the Award is payable solely in Shares, cash or either and, if applicable, the time within which the Awardee must accept such offer. The offer shall be accepted by execution of the Award Agreement. The Administrator may require that all Shares subject to a right of repurchase or risk of forfeiture be held in escrow until such repurchase right or risk of forfeiture lapses. The grant or vesting of a Stock Award may be made contingent on the achievement of Objectively Determinable Performance Conditions.

 

(b) Right of Repurchase. If so provided in the Award Agreement, Award Shares acquired pursuant to a Stock Award may be subject to repurchase by the Company or an Affiliate if not vested in accordance with the Award Agreement.

 

(c) Form of Payment. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form and method of payment for exercising a Stock Award. Acceptable forms of payment for all Award Shares are cash, check or wire transfer, denominated in U.S. dollars except as specified by the Administrator for non-U.S. sub-plans. In addition, the Administrator may permit payment to be made by any of the methods permitted with respect to the exercise of Options pursuant to Section 6.4.

 

(d) Nonassignability of Stock Awards. Except as determined by the Administrator, no Stock Award shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by the Awardee except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Stock Awards may be transferred and exercised in accordance with a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

 

(e) Substitute Stock Award. The Board may cause the Company to grant Substitute Stock Awards in connection with the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of equity securities of any entity (including by merger, tender offer, or other similar transaction) or of all or a portion of the assets of any entity. Unless and to the extent specified otherwise by the Board, Substitute Stock Awards shall have the same terms and conditions as the stock awards they replace, except that (subject to the provisions of Section 10) Substitute Stock Awards shall be Stock Awards to purchase Shares rather than equity securities of the granting entity and shall have a Purchase Price and other terms that, as determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, properly reflects the substitution. Any such Substitute Stock Award shall be effective on the effective date of the acquisition.

 

C-12


Table of Contents

(f) Forfeiture and Repurchase Rights.

 

(i) General. In the event of the Awardee’s termination, any unvested Shares shall be forfeited, or if the Awardee paid a purchase price to acquire the Stock Award, the Company shall have the right, during the seven months after the Awardee’s Termination, to repurchase any or all of the Award Shares that were unvested as of the date of that Termination. The repurchase price shall be determined by the Administrator in accordance with this Section 8.2(f) which shall be either (i) the Purchase Price for the Award Shares (minus the amount of any cash dividends paid or payable with respect to the Award Shares for which the record date precedes the repurchase) or (ii) the lower of (A) the Purchase Price for the Shares or (B) the Fair Market Value of those Award Shares as of the date of the Termination. The repurchase price shall be paid in cash. The Company may assign this right of repurchase.

 

(ii) Procedure. The Company or its assignee may choose to give the Awardee a written notice of exercise of its repurchase rights under this Section 8.2(f). However, the Company’s failure to give such a notice shall not affect its rights to repurchase Award Shares. The Company must, however, tender the repurchase price during the period specified in this Section 8.2(f) for exercising its repurchase rights in order to exercise such rights.

 

8.3    Cash Awards. Cash Awards may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards granted under this Plan. After the Administrator determines that it will offer a Cash Award, it shall advise the Awardee, by means of an Award Agreement, of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the Cash Award. The grant or vesting of a Cash Award may be made contingent on the achievement of Objectively Determinable Performance Conditions.

 

9.    Exercise of Awards

 

9.1    In General. An Award shall be exercisable in accordance with this Plan and the Award Agreement under which it is granted.

 

9.2    Time of Exercise. Options and Stock Awards shall be considered exercised when the Company receives: (a) written (including electronically pursuant to Section 18.4 below) notice of exercise from the person entitled to exercise the Option or Stock Award, (b) full payment, or provision for payment, in a form and method approved by the Administrator, for the Shares for which the Option or Stock Award is being exercised, and (c) with respect to Nonstatutory Options, payment, or provision for payment, in a form approved by the Administrator, of all applicable withholding taxes due upon exercise. An Award may be exercised for a fraction of a Share. SARs shall be considered exercised when the Company receives written notice of the exercise from the person entitled to exercise the SAR.

 

9.3    Issuance of Award Shares. The Company shall issue Award Shares in the name of the person properly exercising the Award. If the Awardee is that person and so requests, the Award Shares shall be issued in the name of the Awardee and the Awardee’s spouse. The Company shall endeavor to issue Award Shares promptly after an Award is exercised or after the Grant Date of a Stock Award, as applicable. Until Award Shares are actually issued, as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the stock register of the Company or its transfer agent, the Awardee will not have the rights of a stockholder with respect to those Award Shares, even though the Awardee has completed all the steps necessary to exercise the Award. No adjustment shall be made for any dividend, distribution, or other right for which the record date precedes the date the Award Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 10.

 

C-13

9.4    Termination.

 

(a) In General. Except as provided in an Award Agreement or in writing by the Administrator, including in an Award Agreement, and as otherwise provided in Sections 9.4(b), (c), (d) and (e) after an Awardee’s Termination for other than Cause, the Awardee’s Awards shall be exercisable to the extent (but only to the extent) they are vested on the date of that Termination and only during the ninety (90) days after the Termination, but in no event after the Expiration Date. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, in the event of termination for Cause the Award may not be exercised after the date of Termination. To the extent the Awardee does not exercise an Award within the time specified for exercise, the Award shall automatically terminate.

 

(b) Leaves of Absence. If Awardee is an employee of the Company or an Affiliate and is on a leave of absence pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Administrative Policy No. SH-1 “Unpaid Leave” or similar policy maintained by an Affiliate, as such policies may be revised from time to time, Awardee shall not, during the period of such absence be deemed, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated Awardee’s employment. Awardee shall continue to vest in the Option during any approved medical or military leave of absence. Medical leave shall include family or medical leaves, workers’ compensation leave, or pregnancy disability leave. For all other leaves of absence, the Option will fully vest only during active employment and shall not vest during a leave of absence, unless required under local law. However, if Awardee returns to active employment with the Company or an Affiliate following such a leave, the Option will be construed to vest as if there had been no break in active employment. During any leave of absence, Awardee shall have the right to exercise the vested portion of the Option.

 

(c) Death or Disability. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or determined by the Administrator, if an Awardee’s Termination is due to death or disability (as determined by the Administrator with respect to all Awards other than Incentive Stock Options and as defined by Section 22(e) of the Code with respect to Incentive Stock Options), the unvested portion of all Awards of that Awardee shall be accelerated and become fully exercisable upon the Termination, and all Awards of the Awardee shall be exercisable until the Expiration Date. In the case of Termination due to death, an Award may be exercised as provided in Section 17. In the case of Termination due to disability, if a guardian or conservator has been appointed to act for the Awardee and been granted this authority as part of that appointment, that guardian or conservator may exercise the Award on behalf of the Awardee. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, death or disability occurring after an Awardee’s Termination shall not cause the Termination to be treated as having occurred due to death or disability. To the extent an Award is not so exercised within the time specified for its exercise, the Award shall automatically terminate.

 

(d) Divestiture. If an Awardee’s Termination is due to a Divestiture, the Board may take any one or more of the actions described in Section 10.3 or 10.4 with respect to the Awardee’s Awards.

 

(e) Administrator Discretion. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.4 (a)-(d), the Plan Administrator shall have complete discretion, exercisable either at the time an Award is granted or at any time while the Award remains outstanding, to:

 

(i) Extend the period of time for which the Award is to remain exercisable, following the Awardee’s Termination, from the limited exercise period otherwise in effect for that Award to such greater period of time as the Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the Expiration Date; and/or

 

 

C-14


Table of Contents

(ii) Permit the Award to be exercised, during the applicable post-Termination exercise period, not only with respect to the number of vested Shares for which such Award may be exercisable at the time of the Awardee’s Termination but also with respect to one or more additional installments in which the Awardee would have vested had the Awardee not been subject to Termination.

 

(f) Consulting or Employment Relationship. Nothing in this Plan or in any Award Agreement, and no Award or the fact that Award Shares remain subject to repurchase rights or risk of forfeiture, shall: (A) interfere with or limit the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the employment or consultancy of any Awardee at any time, whether with or without cause or reason, and with or without the payment of severance or any other compensation or payment, (B) confer upon any employee any right to continue in the employ of, or affiliation with, the Company or a Subsidiary nor constitute any promise or commitment by the Company or a Subsidiary regarding future positions, future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation or (C) interfere with the application of any provision in any of the Company’s or any Affiliate’s charter documents or Applicable Law relating to the election, appointment, term of office, or removal of a Director.

 

10.    Certain Transactions and Events

 

10.1    In General. Except as provided in this Section 10, no change in the capital structure of the Company, merger, sale or other disposition of assets or of a subsidiary, change in control, issuance by the Company of shares of any class of securities or securities convertible into shares of any class of securities, exchange or conversion of securities, or other transaction or event shall require or be the occasion for any adjustments of the type described in this Section 10. Additional provisions with respect to the foregoing transactions are set forth in Section 14.3.

 

10.2    Changes in Capital Structure. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination or reclassification of stock, stock dividend, spin-off, extraordinary cash dividend or similar change to the capital structure of the Company (not including a Fundamental Transaction or Change in Control), the Board shall make appropriate and equitable adjustments in order to preserve the value of outstanding and future Awards, including adjustments to: (a) the number and type of Awards that may be granted under this Plan, (b) the number and type of Awards that may be granted to any individual under this Plan, (c) the terms of any SAR, (d) the Purchase Price of any Stock Award, (e) the Option Price and number and class of securities issuable under each outstanding Option, and (f) the repurchase price of any securities substituted for Award Shares that are subject to repurchase rights. Subject to the foregoing requirement, the specific form of any such adjustments shall be determined by the Board. Unless the Board specifies otherwise, any securities issuable as a result of any such adjustment shall be rounded down to the next lower whole security.

 

10.3    Fundamental Transactions. In the event of (a) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the stockholders of the Company or their relative stock holdings and the Awards granted under this Plan are assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption shall be binding on all participants), (b) a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but after which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger (other than any stockholder that merges, or which owns or controls another corporation that merges, with the Company in such merger) cease to own their shares or other equity interest in the Company, (c) the sale of all or substantially all of the

 

C-15


Table of Contents

assets of the Company, or (d) the acquisition, sale, or transfer of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company by tender offer or similar transaction (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”), any or all outstanding Awards may be assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation (if any), which assumption, conversion or replacement shall be binding on all participants under this Plan. In the alternative, the successor corporation may substitute equivalent Awards or provide substantially similar consideration to participants as was provided to stockholders (after taking into account the existing provisions of the Awards). The successor corporation may also issue, in place of outstanding Shares held by the participants, substantially similar shares or other property subject to repurchase restrictions no less favorable to the participant. In the event such successor corporation (if any) does not assume or substitute Awards, as provided above, pursuant to a transaction described in this Subsection 10.3, the vesting with respect to such Awards shall fully and immediately accelerate or the repurchase rights of the Company shall fully and immediately terminate, as the case may be, so that the Awards may be exercised or the repurchase rights shall terminate before, or otherwise in connection with the closing or completion of the Fundamental Transaction or event, but then terminate. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that the vesting of any or all Award Shares subject to vesting or right of repurchase shall accelerate or lapse, as the case may be, upon a transaction described in this Section 10.3. If the Committee exercises such discretion with respect to Options, such Options shall become exercisable in full prior to the consummation of such event at such time and on such conditions as the Committee determines, and if such Options are not exercised prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, they shall terminate at such time as determined by the Committee. Subject to any greater rights granted to participants under the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.3, in the event of the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, any outstanding Awards shall be treated as provided in the applicable agreement or plan of merger, consolidation or sale of assets.

 

10.4    Changes in Control. The Board may also, but need not, specify that other transactions or events constitute a “Change in Control.” The Board may do that either before or after the transaction or event occurs. Examples of transactions or events that the Board may treat as Changes in Control are: (a) any person or entity, including a “group” as contemplated by Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, acquires securities holding 25% or more of the total combined voting power or value of the Company, or (b) as a result of or in connection with a contested election of Company Directors, the persons who were Company Directors immediately before the election cease to constitute a majority of the Board. In connection with a Change in Control, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Board may, but need not, take any one or more of the actions described in Section 10.3. In addition, the Board may extend the date for the exercise of Awards (but not beyond their original Expiration Date). The Board need not adopt the same rules for each Award or each Awardee. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, in the event of an Involuntary Termination of services for any reason other than death, disability or Cause, within 18 months following the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction or Change in Control, any Awards, assumed or substituted in a Fundamental Transaction or Change in Control, which are subject to vesting conditions and/or the right of repurchase in favor of the Company or a successor entity, shall fully accelerate for vesting so that such Award Shares are immediately exercisable upon Termination or, if subject to the right of repurchase in favor of the Company, such repurchase rights shall lapse as of the date of Termination. Such Awards shall be exercisable for a period of six months following Termination.

 

10.5    Divestiture. If the Company or an Affiliate sells or otherwise transfers equity securities of an Affiliate to a person or entity other than the Company or an Affiliate, or leases, exchanges or transfers all or any portion of its assets to such a person or entity, then the Board may specify that such transaction or event constitutes a “Divestiture.” In connection with a Divestiture, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Board may, but need not, take one or more of the actions described in Section 10.3 or 10.4 with

 

C-16


Table of Contents

respect to Awards or Award Shares held by, for example, Employees, Directors or Consultants for whom that transaction or event results in a Termination. The Board need not adopt the same rules for each Award or Awardee.

 

10.6    Dissolution. If the Company adopts a plan of dissolution, the Board may cause Awards to be fully vested and exercisable (but not after their Expiration Date) before the dissolution is completed but contingent on its completion and may cause the Company’s repurchase rights on Award Shares to lapse upon completion of the dissolution. The Board need not adopt the same rules for each Award or each Awardee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of a dissolution of the Company, to the extent not exercised before the earlier of the completion of the dissolution or their Expiration Date, Awards shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution.

 

10.7    Cut-Back to Preserve Benefits. If the Administrator determines that the net after-tax amount to be realized by any Awardee, taking into account any accelerated vesting, termination of repurchase rights, or cash payments to that Awardee in connection with any transaction or event set forth in this Section 10 would be greater if one or more of those steps were not taken or payments were not made with respect to that Awardee’s Awards or Award Shares, then, at the election of the Awardee, to such extent, one or more of those steps shall not be taken and payments shall not be made.

 

11.    Grants to Non-Employee Directors

 

11.1    Certain Transactions and Events.

 

(a) In the event of a Fundamental Transaction while the Awardee remains a non-Employee Director, the Shares at the time subject to each outstanding Award held by such Awardee pursuant to this Plan, but not otherwise vested, shall automatically vest in full and become exercisable for all Shares as fully vested Shares and all repurchase rights shall automatically terminate in full immediately prior to the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction. Immediately following the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, each Award shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or Affiliate thereof).

 

(b) In the event of a Change in Control while the Awardee remains a non-Employee Director, the Shares at the time subject to each outstanding Award held by such Awardee pursuant to this Plan, but not otherwise vested, shall automatically vest in full and become exercisable for all the Shares as fully vested Shares and all repurchase rights shall automatically terminate in full immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control. Each such Award shall remain exercisable for such fully vested Shares until the expiration or sooner termination of the Award term in connection with a Change in Control.

 

(c) Each Award which is assumed in connection with a Fundamental Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Fundamental Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Awardee in consummation of such Fundamental Transaction had the Award been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Option Price or Purchase Price payable per share under each outstanding Award, provided the aggregate Option Price or Purchase Price payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Company’s outstanding Shares receive cash consideration for their Shares in consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the outstanding Awards granted to non-Employee Directors under this Plan, substitute one or more shares of its own

common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per Share in such Fundamental Transaction.

 

12.    Withholding and Tax Reporting

 

12.1    Tax Withholding Alternatives.

 

(a) General. Whenever Award Shares are issued or become free of restrictions, the Company may require the Awardee to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding requirement, whether the related tax is imposed on the Awardee or the Company. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver Award Shares or release Award Shares from an escrow or permit a transfer of Award Shares until the Awardee has satisfied those tax withholding obligations. Whenever payment in satisfaction of Awards is made in cash, the payment will be reduced by an amount sufficient to satisfy all tax withholding requirements.

 

(b) Method of Payment. The Awardee shall pay any required withholding using the forms of consideration described in Section 6.4(b), except that, in the discretion of the Administrator, the Company may also permit the Awardee to use any of the forms of payment described in Section 6.4(c). The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may also permit Award Shares to be withheld to pay required withholding. If the Administrator permits Award Shares to be withheld, the Fair Market Value of the Award Shares withheld, as determined as of the date of withholding, shall not exceed the amount determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates to the extent the Administrator determines such limit is necessary or advisable in light of generally accepted accounting principles.

 

12.2    Reporting of Dispositions. Any holder of Option Shares acquired under an Incentive Stock Option shall promptly notify the Administrator, following such procedures as the Administrator may require, of the sale or other disposition of any of those Option Shares if the disposition occurs during: (a) the longer of two years after the Grant Date of the Incentive Stock Option and one year after the date the Incentive Stock Option was exercised, or (b) such other period as the Administrator has established.

 

13.    Compliance With Law

 

The grant of Awards and the issuance and subsequent transfer of Award Shares shall be subject to compliance with all Applicable Law, including all applicable securities laws. Awards may not be exercised, and Award Shares may not be transferred, in violation of Applicable Law. Thus, for example, Awards may not be exercised unless: (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act is then in effect with respect to the related Award Shares, or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, those Award Shares may be issued in accordance with an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. The failure or inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body the authority considered by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary or useful for the lawful issuance of any Award Shares or their subsequent transfer shall relieve the Company of any liability for failing to issue those Award Shares or permitting their transfer. As a condition to the exercise of any Award or the transfer of any Award Shares, the Company may require the Awardee to satisfy any requirements or qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with or evidence compliance with any Applicable Law.

 

14.    Amendment or Termination of this Plan or Outstanding Awards

 

14.1    Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, suspend, or terminate this Plan.

 

C-18


Table of Contents

14.2    Stockholder Approval. The Company shall obtain the approval of the Company’s stockholders for any amendment to this Plan if stockholder approval is necessary or desirable to comply with any Applicable Law or with the requirements applicable to the grant of Awards intended to be Incentive Stock Options. The Board may also, but need not, require that the Company’s stockholders approve any other amendments to this Plan.

 

14.3    Effect. No amendment, suspension, or termination of this Plan, and no modification of any Award even in the absence of an amendment, suspension, or termination of this Plan, shall impair any existing contractual rights of any Awardee unless the affected Awardee consents to the amendment, suspension, termination, or modification. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such consent shall be required if the Board determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the amendment, suspension, termination, or modification (including an amendment of the designation of the class of securities to be issued under Awards): (a) is required or advisable in order for the Company, this Plan or the Award to satisfy Applicable Law, to meet the requirements of any accounting standard or to avoid any adverse accounting treatment, or (b) in connection with any transaction or event described in Section 10, is in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders. The Board may, but need not, take the tax or accounting consequences to affected Awardees into consideration in acting under the preceding sentence. Those decisions shall be final, binding and conclusive. Termination of this Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it under this Plan with respect to Awards granted before the termination of Award Shares issued under such Awards even if those Award Shares are issued after the termination.

 

15.    Reserved Rights

 

15.1    Nonexclusivity of this Plan. This Plan shall not limit the power of the Company or any Affiliate to adopt other incentive arrangements including, for example, the grant or issuance of stock options, stock, or other equity-based rights under other plans.

 

15.2    Unfunded Plan. This Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Awardees, any such accounts will be used merely as a convenience. The Company shall not be required to segregate any assets on account of this Plan, the grant of Awards, or the issuance of Award Shares. The Company and the Administrator shall not be deemed to be a trustee of stock or cash to be awarded under this Plan. Any obligations of the Company to any Awardee shall be based solely upon contracts entered into under this Plan, such as Award Agreements. No such obligations shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any assets of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Administrator shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any such obligations.

 

16.    Escrow of Stock Certificates

 

To enforce any restrictions on Award Shares, the Administrator may require the holder to deposit any certificates (or indicia of ownership) representing Award Shares, with stock powers or other transfer instruments approved by the Administrator endorsed in blank, with the Company or an agent of the Company to hold in escrow until the restrictions have lapsed or terminated. The Administrator may also cause a legend or legends referencing the restrictions to be placed on any such certificates.

 

17.    Beneficiaries

 

An Awardee may, if permitted by the Administrator and on a form prescribed by the Administrator, file a written designation of one or more beneficiaries who are to receive the Awardee’s rights under the Awardee’s

 

C-19


Table of Contents

Awards after the Awardee’s death. An Awardee may change such a designation at any time by written notice. If an Awardee designates a beneficiary, the beneficiary may exercise the Awardee’s Awards after the Awardee’s death. If an Awardee dies when the Awardee has no living beneficiary designated under this Plan, the Company shall allow the executor or administrator of the Awardee’s estate to exercise the Award or, if there is none, the person entitled to exercise the Option under the Awardee’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. In any case, no Award may be exercised after its Expiration Date.

 

18.    Miscellaneous

 

18.1    Governing Law. This Plan, the Award Agreements and all other agreements entered into under this Plan, and all actions taken under this Plan or in connection with Awards or Award Shares, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

 

18.2    Determination of Value. Fair Market Value of a Share shall be determined as follows:

 

(a) Listed Stock. If Shares are traded on any established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system, Fair Market Value shall be the closing sales price as quoted on that stock exchange or system for the day before the date the value is to be determined (the “Value Date”) as reported in The Wall Street Journal or a similar publication. If no sales are reported as having occurred on the day before the Value Date, Fair Market Value shall be that closing sales price for the last preceding trading day on which sales of Shares are reported as having occurred. If no sales are reported as having occurred during the five trading days before the Value Date, Fair Market Value shall be the closing bid for the Shares on the day before the Value Date. If the Shares of the Company are listed on multiple exchanges or systems, Fair Market Value shall be based on sales or bid prices on the primary exchange or system on which Shares of the Company are traded or quoted.

 

(b) Stock Quoted by Securities Dealer. If Shares are regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported on any established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system, Fair Market Value shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices on the day before the Value Date. If no prices are quoted for the day before the Value Date, Fair Market Value shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices on the last preceding trading day on which any bid and asked prices were quoted.

 

(c) No Established Market. If Shares are not traded on any established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system and are not quoted by a recognized securities dealer, the Administrator (following guidelines established by the Board or Committee) will determine Fair Market Value of the Shares in good faith.

 

(d) Class A Preferred Stock. If shares of the Company’s Common Stock are traded on any established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system, the Fair Market Value of shares of the Company’s Class A Preferred Stock shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Common Stock, as of the relevant valuation date for all purposes under this Plan.

 

18.3    Availability of Shares. During the term of this Plan, the Company shall at all times keep available such number of Shares as are still issuable under this Plan.

 

18.4    Electronic Communications. Any Award Agreement, notice of exercise of an Award, or other document required or permitted by this Plan may be delivered in writing or, to the extent determined by the Administrator, electronically. Signatures may also be electronic if permitted by the Administrator.

 

C-20


Table of Contents

18.5    Notices. Unless the Administrator specifies otherwise, any notice to the Company under any Award Agreement or with respect to any Awards or Award Shares shall be in writing (or, if so authorized by Section 18.4, communicated electronically), shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company, and shall only be effective when received by the Secretary of the Company.

4.   Purpose.

 

The purpose of this Plan is to provide eligible employees of the Company and Participating Subsidiaries with a convenient means of acquiring an equity interest in the Company through payroll deductions, to enhance such employees’ sense of participation in the affairs of the Company and Participating Subsidiaries, and to provide an incentive for continued employment. For the purposes of this Plan, “employee” shall mean any individual who is an employee of the Company or a Participating Subsidiary. Whether an individual qualifies as an employee shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. The Committee shall be guided by the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-7 and Section 3401(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder as to employees in the United States, with the intent that the Plan cover all “employees” within the meaning of those provisions other than those who are not eligible to participate in the Plan, provided, however, that any determinations regarding whether an individual is an “employee” shall be prospective only, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. Unless the Committee makes a contrary determination, the employees of the Company shall, for all purposes of this Plan, be those individuals who are carried as employees of the Company or a Participating Subsidiary for regular payroll purposes or are on a leave of absence for not more than 90 days. Any inquiries regarding eligibility to participate in the Plan shall be directed to the Committee, whose decision shall be final.

 

5.   Administration.

 

This Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee may delegate certain administrative responsibilities to an Employee Stock Purchase Committee, including (a) prescribing, amending and rescinding rules and regulations relating to the Plan; (b) prescribing forms for carrying out the provisions and purposes of the Plan; (c) interpreting the Plan; and (d) making all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, including factual determinations. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall have all authority to (i) determine and change the percentage discount pursuant to Section 10, (ii) determine and change the Offering Periods and Offering Dates pursuant to Section 7, (iii) determine and change the purchase price for shares pursuant to Section 10, (iv) prescribe minimum holding periods for the Shares issued under this Plan, and (v) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan. All decisions of the Committee and the Employee Stock Purchase Committee shall be final and binding upon all participants. Members of the Committee and the Employee Stock Purchase Committee shall receive no compensation for their services in connection with the administration of this Plan, other than standard fees as established from time to time by the Board for services rendered by Board members serving on Board committees. All expenses incurred in connection with the administration of this Plan shall be paid by the Company.

 

6.   Eligibility.

 

Any employee of the Company or the Participating Subsidiaries is eligible to participate in an Offering Period (as hereinafter defined) under this Plan except the following:

 

(a) employees who are not employed by the Company or a Participating Subsidiary prior to the beginning of such Offering Period or prior to such other time period as specified by the Committee;

 

(b) employees who, together with any other person whose stock would be attributed to such employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code, own stock or hold options to purchase stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Participating Subsidiaries or who, as a result of being granted an option under this Plan with respect to such Offering Period, would own stock or hold options to purchase stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Participating Subsidiaries;

 

D-3


Table of Contents

(c) individuals who provide services to the Company or any of its Participating Subsidiaries as independent contractors who are reclassified as common law employees for any reason except for federal income and employment tax purposes; and

 

(d) employees who reside in countries for whom such employees’ participation in the Plan would result in a violation under any corporate or securities laws of such country of residence.

 

7.   Offering Dates.

 

The Offering Periods of this Plan may be up to twenty-four (24) months in duration and may consist of up to eight (8) Purchase Periods of up to six (6) months in duration during which payroll deductions of the participants are accumulated under this Plan. However, unless and until determined otherwise by the Committee, except for the First Offering Period, each Offering Period shall have a duration of three months and shall commence on April 1, July 1, October 1 or January 1 and each Offering Period shall have only one Purchase Period which shall run simultaneously with the Offering Period. The First Offering Period shall commence and end on those dates determined by the Committee. The Committee shall have the power to change the Offering Dates, the Purchase Dates and the duration of Offering Periods or Purchase Periods without stockholder approval if such change is announced prior to the relevant Offering Period or prior to such other time period as specified by the Committee.

 

8.   Participation in this Plan.

 

Eligible employees may become participants in an Offering Period under this Plan on the Offering Date, after satisfying the eligibility requirements, by delivering a subscription agreement to the Company prior to such Offering Date, or such other time period as specified by the Committee. An eligible employee who does not deliver a subscription agreement to the Company after becoming eligible to participate in an Offering Period shall not participate in that Offering Period or any subsequent Offering Period unless such employee enrolls in this Plan by delivering a subscription agreement with the Company prior to such Offering Period, or such other time period as specified by the Committee. Once an employee becomes a participant in an Offering Period by filing a subscription agreement, such employee shall automatically participate in the Offering Period commencing immediately following the last day of the prior Offering Period unless the employee withdraws or is deemed to withdraw from this Plan or terminates further participation in the Offering Period as set forth in Section 13 below. Such participant is not required to file any additional subscription agreement in order to continue participation in this Plan.

 

9.   Grant of Option on Enrollment.

 

Enrollment by an eligible employee in this Plan with respect to an Offering Period shall constitute the grant (as of the Offering Date) by the Company to such employee of an option to purchase on the Purchase Date up to that number of Shares determined by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount accumulated in such employee’s payroll deduction account during such Purchase Period and the denominator of which is eighty-five percent (85%) (unless such percentage is changed pursuant to Section 10) of the fair market value of a Share on the Purchase Date (but in no event less than the par value of a Share), provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to any option granted pursuant to this Plan shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the maximum number of shares set by the Committee pursuant to Section 12(c) below with respect to the applicable Purchase Date, or (y) the maximum number of shares which may be purchased pursuant to Section 12(b) below with respect to the applicable Purchase Date. The fair market value of a Share shall be determined as provided in Section 10 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a change in generally accepted accounting principles which would adversely affect the accounting treatment applicable to any current Offering Period, the Committee may make such changes to the number of Shares purchased at the end of Purchase Period or the purchase price paid as are

 

D-4


Table of Contents

allowable under generally accepted accounting principles and as it deems necessary in the sole discretion of the Committee to avoid or minimize adverse accounting consequences.

 

10.   Purchase Price.

 

The purchase price per Share at which a Share shall be sold in any Offering Period shall be eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of the Shares on the Purchase Date; provided that the Committee may change the purchase price to be anywhere from eighty-five percent (85%) to one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of a Share on the Offering Date or the Purchase Date.

 

For purposes of this Plan, “fair market value” of a Share shall be determined as follows:

 

(a) Listed Stock. If Shares are traded on any established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system, fair market value shall be the closing sales price as quoted on that stock exchange or system for the day before the Value Date as reported in The Wall Street Journal or a similar publication. If no sales are reported as having occurred on the day before the Value Date, fair market value shall be that closing sales price for the last preceding trading day on which sales of Shares are reported as having occurred. If no sales are reported as having occurred during the five trading days before the Value Date, fair market value shall be the closing bid for the Shares on the day before the Value Date. If the Shares of the Company are listed on multiple exchanges or systems, fair market value shall be based on sales or bid prices on the primary exchange or system on which Shares of the Company are traded or quoted.

 

(b) Stock Quoted by Securities Dealer. If Shares are regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported on any established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system, fair market value shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices on the day before the Value Date. If no prices are quoted for the day before the Value Date, fair market value shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices on the last preceding trading day on which any bid and asked prices were quoted.

 

(c) No Established Market. If Shares are not traded on any established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system and are not quoted by a recognized securities dealer, the Committee (following guidelines established by the Board) will determine the fair market value of the Shares in good faith.

 

(d) Class A Preferred Stock. If shares of the Company’s Common Stock are traded on any established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system, the fair market value of shares of the Company’s Class A Preferred Stock shall be equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock, as of the relevant valuation date, for all purposes under this Plan.

 

11.   Payment of Purchase Price; Changes in Payroll Deductions; Issuance of Shares.

 

(a) The purchase price of the shares is accumulated by regular payroll deductions made during each Offering Period. The deductions are made as a percentage of the participant’s compensation in one percent (1%) increments, not less than one percent (1%), nor greater than ten percent (10%), or such lower limit set by the Committee. Compensation shall mean, in the case of employees subject to tax in the United States, all W-2 cash compensation, including, but not limited to, base salary, wages, bonuses, incentive compensation, commissions, overtime, shift premiums, plus draws against commissions, provided, however that compensation shall not include any long term disability or workers’ compensation payments, car allowances, relocation payments or expense reimbursements and further provided, however, that for purposes of determining a participant’s compensation, any election by such participant to reduce his or her regular cash remuneration under

 

D-5


Table of Contents

Sections 125 or 401(k) of the Code shall be treated as if the participant did not make such election. In the case of employees not subject to tax in the United States, the Committee shall establish a comparable definition of compensation. Payroll deductions shall commence on the first payday of the Offering Period and shall continue to the end of the Offering Period unless sooner altered or terminated as provided in this Plan. If payroll deductions are not permitted in a jurisdiction, participants in that jurisdiction may contribute via check or pursuant to another method approved by the Committee.

 

(b) A participant may increase or decrease the rate of payroll deductions during an Offering Period by filing with the Company a new authorization for payroll deductions, in which case the new rate shall become effective for the next payroll period commencing after the tenth business day after the Company’s receipt and processing of the authorization and shall continue for the remainder of the Offering Period unless changed as described below. Such change in the rate of payroll deductions may be made at any time during an Offering Period, but not more than one (1) change may be made effective during any Purchase Period. A participant may increase or decrease the rate of payroll deductions for any subsequent Offering Period by filing with the Company a new authorization for payroll deductions prior to the beginning of such Offering Period, or such other time period as specified by the Committee.

 

(c) A participant may reduce his or her payroll deduction percentage to zero during an Offering Period by filing with the Company a request for cessation of payroll deductions. Such reduction shall be effective beginning with the next payroll period after the Company’s receipt of the request and no further payroll deductions shall be made for the duration of the Offering Period. Payroll deductions credited to the participant’s account prior to the effective date of the request shall be used to purchase Shares in accordance with Section (e) below. A participant may not resume making payroll deductions during the Offering Period in which he or she reduced his or her payroll deductions to zero.

 

(d) All payroll deductions made for a participant are credited to his or her account under this Plan and are deposited with the general funds of the Company. No interest accrues on the payroll deductions, unless required by local law. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions, unless required by local law.

 

(e) On each Purchase Date, for so long as this Plan remains in effect, and provided that the participant has not submitted a signed and completed withdrawal form before that date, which notifies the Company that the participant wishes to withdraw from that Offering Period under this Plan and have all payroll deductions accumulated in the account maintained on behalf of the participant, as of that date returned to the participant, the Company shall apply the funds then in the participant’s account to the purchase of whole and fractional Shares reserved under the option granted to such participant with respect to the Offering Period to the extent that such option is exercisable on the Purchase Date. The purchase price per share shall be as specified in Section 10 of this Plan. In the event that this Plan has been oversubscribed, all funds not used to purchase shares on the Purchase Date shall be returned to the participant, without interest. No Share shall be purchased on a Purchase Date on behalf of any employee whose participation in this Plan has terminated prior to such Purchase Date.

 

(f) As soon as practicable after the Purchase Date, the Company shall issue shares for the participant’s benefit representing the shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option.

 

(g) During a participant’s lifetime, his or her option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her. The participant shall have no interest or voting rights in shares covered by his or her option until such option has been exercised and shares have been issued to the participant.

12.   Limitations on Shares to be Purchased.

 

(a) No participant shall be entitled to purchase stock under this Plan at a rate which, when aggregated with his or her rights to purchase stock under all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company or any Subsidiary, exceeds $25,000 in fair market value, determined as of the Offering Date (or such other limit as may be imposed by the Code) for each calendar year in which the employee participates in this Plan. The Company shall have the authority to take all necessary action, including but not limited to, suspending the payroll deductions of any participant, in order to ensure compliance with this Section.

 

(b) No participant shall be entitled to purchase more than the Maximum Share Amount on any single Purchase Date. Prior to the commencement of any Offering Period or prior to such time period as specified by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, set a Maximum Share Amount. The Maximum Share Amount shall be 2,500 shares. If a new Maximum Share Amount is set, then all participants must be notified of such Maximum Share Amount prior to the commencement of the next Offering Period. The Maximum Share Amount shall continue to apply with respect to all succeeding Purchase Dates and Offering Periods unless revised by the Committee as set forth above.

 

(c) If the number of shares to be purchased on a Purchase Date by all employees participating in this Plan exceeds the number of shares then available for issuance under this Plan, then the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the remaining shares in as uniform a manner as shall be reasonably practicable and as the Committee shall determine to be equitable. In such event, the Company shall give written notice of such reduction of the number of shares to be purchased under a participant’s option to each participant affected.

 

(d) Any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant’s account which are not used to purchase stock due to the limitations in this Section 12 shall be returned to the participant as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable Purchase Period, without interest unless required by local law.

 

13.   Withdrawal.

 

(a) Each participant may withdraw from an Offering Period under this Plan by signing and delivering to the Company a written notice to that effect on a form provided for such purpose. Such withdrawal may be elected at any time prior to the end of an Offering Period, or such other time period as specified by the Committee.

 

(b) Upon withdrawal from this Plan, the accumulated payroll deductions shall be returned to the withdrawn participant, without interest, and his or her interest in this Plan shall terminate. In the event a participant voluntarily elects to withdraw from this Plan, he or she may not resume his or her participation in this Plan during the same Offering Period, but he or she may participate in any Offering Period under this Plan which commences on a date subsequent to such withdrawal by filing a new authorization for payroll deductions in the same manner as set forth in Section 8 above for initial participation in this Plan.

 

(c) At such times, if any, when there are multiple Purchase Periods within an Offering Period and the purchase price can be based on the fair market value at the beginning of the Offering Period, if the fair market value on the first day of the current Offering Period in which a participant is enrolled is higher than the fair market value on the first day of any subsequent Offering Period, the Company shall automatically enroll such participant in the subsequent Offering Period. Any funds accumulated in a participant’s account prior to the first day of such subsequent Offering Period shall be applied to the purchase of shares on the Purchase Date immediately prior to the first day of such subsequent Offering Period, if any.

14.   Termination of Employment.

 

Termination of a participant’s employment for any reason, including retirement, death or the failure of a participant to remain an eligible employee of the Company or of a Participating Subsidiary, shall immediately terminate his or her participation in this Plan. In such event, the payroll deductions credited to the participant’s account shall be returned to him or her or, in the case of his or her death, to his or her legal representative, without interest. For purposes of this Section 14, an employee shall not be deemed to have terminated employment or failed to remain in the continuous employ of the Company or of a Participating Subsidiary in the case of sick leave, military leave, or any other leave of absence approved by the Board, provided, however that such leave is for a period of not more than ninety (90) days or reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute.

 

15.   Return of Payroll Deductions.

 

In the event a participant’s interest in this Plan is terminated by withdrawal, termination of employment or otherwise, or in the event this Plan is terminated by the Board, the Company shall deliver to the participant all payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a participant in this Plan, unless required by local law.

 

16.   Capital Changes.

 

Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the Reserves, as well as the price per Share covered by each option under this Plan which has not yet been exercised, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares resulting from a stock split or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the Shares), any other increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares effected without receipt of any consideration by the Company or other change in the corporate structure or capitalization affecting the Company’s present Shares, provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee, whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an option.

 

In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Committee. The Committee may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that this Plan shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Committee and give each participant the right to purchase shares under this Plan prior to such termination. In the event of (i) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the stockholders of the Company or their relative stock holdings and the options under this Plan are assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption shall be binding on all participants), (ii) a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but after which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger (other than any stockholder that merges, or which owns or controls another corporation that merges, with the Company in such merger) cease to own their shares or other equity interest in the Company, (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (iv) the acquisition, sale, or transfer of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company by tender offer or similar transaction, the Plan shall continue with regard to Offering Periods that commenced prior to the closing of the proposed

 

D-8


Table of Contents

transaction and shares shall be purchased based on the fair market value of the surviving corporation’s stock on each Purchase Date, unless otherwise provided by the Committee.

 

The Committee may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole discretion, also make provision for adjusting the Reserves, as well as the price per Share covered by each outstanding option, in the event that the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations, rights offerings or other increases or reductions of its outstanding Shares, or in the event of the Company being consolidated with or merged into any other corporation.

 

17.   Nonassignability.

 

Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under this Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Sections 25 or 26 below) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be void and without effect.

 

18.   Reports.

 

Individual accounts shall be maintained for each participant in this Plan. Each participant shall receive, as soon as practicable after the end of each Purchase Period, a report of his or her account setting forth the total payroll deductions accumulated, the number of shares purchased, the per share price thereof and the remaining cash balance, if any, carried forward to the next Purchase Period or Offering Period, as the case may be.

 

19.   Notice of Disposition.

 

Each participant shall notify the Company in writing if the participant disposes of any of the shares purchased in any Offering Period pursuant to this Plan if such disposition occurs within the Notice Period. The Company may, at any time during the Notice Period, place a legend or legends on any certificate representing shares acquired pursuant to this Plan requesting the Company’s transfer agent to notify the Company of any transfer of the shares. The obligation of the participant to provide such notice shall continue notwithstanding the placement of any such legend on the certificates.

 

20.   No Rights to Continued Employment.

 

An employee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is not for any specified term and may be terminated by such employee or by the Company or a Subsidiary at any time, for any reason, with or without cause. Nothing in this Plan shall confer upon any employee any right to continue in the employ of, or affiliation with, the Company or a Subsidiary nor constitute any promise or commitment by the Company or a Subsidiary regarding future positions, future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation.

 

21.   Equal Rights and Privileges.

 

All eligible employees shall have equal rights and privileges with respect to this Plan so that this Plan qualifies as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 or any successor provision of the Code and the related regulations, except for differences that may be mandated by local law and that are consistent with Code Section 423(b)(5); provided, however, that participants participating in the Non-423 Plan Component by means of rules, procedures or sub-plans adopted pursuant to Section 22 need not have the same rights and privileges as participants participating in the Section 423 Plan.

Table of Contents
22.   Additional Provisions to Comply with Local Law.

 

The Committee may from time to time establish one or more sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying applicable laws of state and local domestic United States and non-United States jurisdictions. The Committee shall establish such sub-plans by adopting supplements to this Plan containing such additional terms and conditions not otherwise inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall deem necessary or desirable. To the extent inconsistent with the requirements of Code Section 423, such sub-plans and/or supplements shall be considered part of the Non-423 Plan Component, and the options granted thereunder shall not be considered to comply with Section 423. All supplements adopted by the Committee shall be deemed to be part of the Plan and the Company shall not be required to provide copies of any supplement to participants in any jurisdiction that is not the subject of such supplement.

 

23.   Notices.

 

All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company under or in connection with this Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

 

24.   Term; Stockholder Approval.

 

After this Plan is adopted by the Board, this Plan shall become effective on the date on which the First Offering Period commences subject to the effectiveness of the merger of SAIC Merger Sub, Inc. with and into Science Applications International Corporation. This Plan shall be approved by the stockholders of the Company, in any manner permitted by applicable corporate law, within twelve (12) months before or after the date this Plan is adopted by the Board. No purchase of shares pursuant to this Plan shall occur prior to such stockholder approval. This Plan shall continue until the earlier to occur of (a) termination of this Plan by the Board (which termination may be effected by the Board at any time), (b) issuance of all of the Shares available for issuance under this Plan, or (c) ten (10) years from the approval of this Plan by stockholders.

 

25.   Death of a Non-U.S. Participant.

 

In the event a non U.S. participant dies with accumulated payroll deductions having been accumulated to purchase shares at the next Purchase Date, such amounts shall be paid to the estate of the participant.

 

26.   Designation of Beneficiary.

 

(a) A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the participant’s account under this Plan in the event of such participant’s death subsequent to the end of an Purchase Period but prior to delivery to him of such shares and cash. In addition, a participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the participant’s account under this Plan in the event of such participant’s death prior to a Purchase Date.

 

(b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under this Plan who is living at the time of such participant’s death, the Company shall deliver such shares or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.

27.   Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares; Limitation on Sale of Shares.

 

Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

 

28.   Applicable Law.

 

The Plan shall be governed by the substantive laws (excluding the conflict of laws rules) of the State of Delaware.

 

29.   Amendment or Termination.

 

The Board may at any time amend or terminate this Plan, except that any such termination cannot affect options previously granted under this Plan, nor may any amendment make any change in an option previously granted which would adversely affect the right of any participant, nor may any amendment be made without approval of the stockholders of the Company obtained in accordance with Section 24 above within twelve (12) months of the adoption of such amendment (or earlier if required by Section 24) if such amendment would:

 

(a) increase the number of shares that may be issued under this Plan; or

 

(b) change the designation of the employees (or class of employees) eligible for participation in this Plan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may make such amendments to the Plan as the Board determines to be advisable, including changes with respect to current Offering Periods or Purchase Periods, if the continuation of the Plan or any Offering Period would result in financial accounting treatment for the Plan that is different from the financial accounting treatment in effect on the date this Plan is adopted by the Board.

Annex E

 

SECTION 262 OF THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW OF

THE STATE OF DELAWARE

 

Section 262 Appraisal Rights.

 

(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to §228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word “stockholder” means a holder of record of stock in a stock corporation and also a member of record of a nonstock corporation; the words “stock” and “share” mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words and also membership or membership interest of a member of a nonstock corporation; and the words “depository receipt” mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in one or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

 

(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to §251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to §251(g) of this title), §252, §254, §257, §258, §263 or §264 of this title:

 

(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in subsection (f) of §251 of this title.

 

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§251, 252, 254, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

 

a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

 

b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

 

E-1


Table of Contents

c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a. and b. of this paragraph; or

 

d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a., b. and c. of this paragraph.

 

(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under §253 of this title is not owned by the parent corporation immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

 

(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

 

(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

 

(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) hereof that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or

 

(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to §228 or §253 of this title, then, either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation, or the surviving or resulting corporation within ten days thereafter, shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective

 

E-2


Table of Contents

date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

 

(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may file a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) hereof, whichever is later.

 

(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

 

(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.

 

 

E-3


Table of Contents

(h) After determining the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the Court shall appraise the shares, determining their fair value exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. In determining the fair rate of interest, the Court may consider all relevant factors, including the rate of interest which the surviving or resulting corporation would have had to pay to borrow money during the pendency of the proceeding. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, permit discovery or other pretrial proceedings and may proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholder entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

 

(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Interest may be simple or compound, as the Court may direct. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

 

(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

 

(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just.

 

(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

This Proxy and Voting Instruction Card is Solicited on Behalf of the Board of Directors

 

The undersigned hereby appoints K.C. DAHLBERG and D.E. SCOTT, and each of them, with full power of substitution, as proxies to represent the undersigned and to vote all of the shares of Class A common stock and/or Class B common stock the undersigned is entitled to vote at the Special Meeting of Stockholders of Science Applications International Corporation (the “Company”) to be held at the SAIC Conference Center, 1710 SAIC Drive, McLean, Virginia, on August 29, 2006, at 1:00 p.m. (local time), and at any adjournment, postponement or continuation thereof (the “Special Meeting of Stockholders”), as indicated on the reverse side.

 

The undersigned also hereby instructs the Trustee, Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company, and any successor, under the Science Applications International Corporation Retirement Plan of the Company, the Telcordia Technologies 401(k) Savings Plan of Telcordia Technologies, Inc. and the AMSEC Employees 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan of AMSEC LLC (collectively, the “Plans”) to vote all of the shares of Class A common stock and/or Class B common stock held for the undersigned’s account in each of the Plans at the Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, as indicated on the reverse side.

 

The shares of Class A common stock and/or Class B common stock to which this proxy and voting instruction card relate will be voted as directed. If this proxy and voting instruction card is properly signed and returned but no instructions are indicated with respect to a particular item, (A) the shares represented by this proxy and voting instruction card which the undersigned is to vote will be voted FOR proposals 1, 2 and 3, and, in the discretion of the proxy holders, on any other matters properly coming before the meeting and any adjournment, postponement or continuation thereof and (B) the shares represented by this proxy and voting instruction card held for the undersigned’s account in each of the Plans will be voted on a plan-by-plan basis, in the same proportion as the shares held in each Plan for which voting instructions have been received are voted.
