TABLE OF CONTENTS
Introduction
This
Rule 13E-3
transaction statement on
Schedule 13E-3,
together with the exhibits hereto (this
“Schedule 13E-3”
or “Transaction Statement”), is being filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), jointly by the following
persons (each, a “Filing Person,” and
collectively, the “Filing Persons”): SRA
International, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“SRA,” or the “Company”), the
issuer of the Class A common stock, par value $0.004 per
share (the “Company Class A Common Stock”)
that is subject to the
Rule 13e-3
transaction; Providence Equity Partners VI L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (“PVI”); Providence Equity
Partners VI-A L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
(“PVI-A”); Providence Equity GP VI, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (“PEP LP”);
Providence Equity Partners VI L.L.C., a Delaware limited
liability company (“PEP GP”); Sterling
Holdco Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Holdco”); Sterling Parent Inc., a Delaware
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco
(“Parent”); Sterling Merger Inc., a Delaware
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent
(“Merger Sub” and, collectively with Holdco and
Parent, the “Sterling Entities”); Ernst
Volgenau, an individual and Chairman of the Company
(“Dr. Volgenau”); The Ernst Volgenau
Revocable Trust; The Ernst Volgenau 2011 Charitable Remainder
Unitrust I; The Ernst Volgenau 2011 Charitable Remainder
Unitrust II; and The Ernst Volgenau 2010 Grantor Retained
Annuity Trust.
On March 31, 2011, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
“Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger of
Merger Sub with and into the Company (the
“Merger”), with the Company surviving the
Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Holdco, Parent
and Merger Sub are beneficially owned by PVI and PVI-A.
Concurrently with the filing of this
Schedule 13E-3,
the Company is filing with the SEC a preliminary Proxy Statement
(the “Proxy Statement”) under
Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, relating to a special
meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which the
stockholders of the Company will consider and vote upon a
proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. The adoption of the
Merger Agreement will require the affirmative vote of holders of
a majority of the common stock of the Company, as well as a
majority of the Company Class A Common Stock (excluding
Company Class A Common Stock beneficially owned, directly
or indirectly, by Dr. Volgenau), in each case outstanding
as of the close of business on the record date for the special
meeting. A copy of the preliminary Proxy Statement is attached
hereto as Exhibit (a)(2)(i) and a copy of the Merger Agreement
is attached as Annex A to the preliminary Proxy Statement.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time
of the Merger, each outstanding share of Company Class A
Common Stock will be converted automatically into the right to
receive $31.25 in cash (the “Per Share Merger
Consideration”), without interest and less any
applicable withholding taxes, excluding shares beneficially
owned by (i) Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, including shares to
be contributed to Holdco by Dr. Volgenau, acting through
The Ernst Volgenau Revocable Trust (the “Rollover
Investor”), pursuant to an equity rollover agreement
between Holdco and the Rollover Investor (the “Rollover
Agreement”) immediately prior to the effective time of
the Merger, (ii) the Company or any direct or indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company or
(iii) stockholders who have not voted in favor of the
proposal to adopt the merger agreement and who have properly
exercised, perfected and not withdrawn a demand for, or lost the
right to, appraisal rights under Delaware law. The Merger
remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement, including obtaining approval
of the requisite stockholders of the Company.
Dr. Volgenau, directly or indirectly through certain
related trusts or estate planning vehicles, beneficially owns
approximately 20% of the total number of outstanding shares of
the Company’s common stock, such shares representing
approximately 71% of the aggregate voting rights of the
Company’s common stock, and has agreed with Holdco to
contribute to Holdco a portion of the shares of SRA common stock
owned by him in exchange for equity interests of Holdco and a
promissory note issued by Holdco immediately prior to the
completion of the Merger.

The materials filed as Exhibit (c)(2) of this

include projected financial information. The SRA does not, as a
matter of course, publicly disclose projections as to its future
financial performance. The projections were not prepared with a
view to public disclosure and are included in this

to compliance with published guidelines of the SEC regarding
projections or guidelines established by the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation
of prospective financial information. Furthermore,
Deloitte & Touche LLP has not examined, compiled or
otherwise applied procedures to the projections included in the
