INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 3 to 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 (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”), jointly by the following persons (each, a “Filing Person,”
and collectively, the “Filing Persons”): (i) Perspecta Inc. (“Perspecta” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation and the issuer of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), that is subject to the Rule 13e-3
transaction; (ii) Jaguar Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Merger Sub”), (iii) Jaguar ParentCo Inc., a Delaware corporation and the parent of Merger Sub (“Parent”); (iv) Peraton Intermediate Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation and the
parent of Parent (“Peraton”); (v) Peraton Topco Holdings L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the parent of Peraton (“TopCo”), (vi) Peraton GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of Topco; (vi) Veritas Capital
Fund Management, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company and the managing member of Peraton GP LLC (“Veritas”), and (vii) Ramzi Musallam, the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner of Veritas. Merger Sub, Parent, Peraton, TopCo,
Peraton GP LLC, Veritas and Ramzi Musallam are collectively referred to herein as the “Acquiring Group” or the “Acquiring Group Filing Persons.”
On January 27, 2021, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), which
provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. On April 2, 2021, the Company filed with the SEC a
definitive Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, relating to a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company (the “Special Meeting”) at which the stockholders of the Company will consider and
vote upon a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and cast an advisory (non-binding) vote to approve certain items of compensation that are based on or otherwise related to the Merger and may become payable to certain named executive officers
of the Company under existing agreements with the Company. The adoption of the Merger Agreement will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company Common Stock entitled to vote thereon outstanding as of
the close of business on the record date for the Special Meeting. A copy of the definitive Proxy Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(2)(i). A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A to the definitive Proxy Statement and is
incorporated herein by reference.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, if the Merger is completed, each share of Company Common Stock, other than as provided below, will be converted into the right to receive $29.35 in cash (the “Per Share Merger
Consideration”), without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. The following shares of Company Common Stock will not be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in connection with the Merger: (i) shares of
Company Common Stock held by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and (ii) shares of Company Common Stock held by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s stockholders.
The cross-references below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and show the location in the Proxy Statement of the information required to be included in response to the items of
Schedule 13E-3. Pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3, the information contained in the Proxy Statement, including all appendices thereto, is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference, and the responses to each item in this
Schedule 13E-3 are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the Proxy Statement and the appendices thereto.
Capitalized terms used but not expressly defined in this Schedule 13E-3 shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Proxy Statement.
The information concerning the Company contained in, or incorporated by reference into this Schedule 13E-3 and the Proxy Statement was supplied by the Company. Similarly, all information concerning each other Filing
Person contained in, or incorporated by reference into this Schedule 13E-3 and the Proxy Statement was supplied by such Filing Person.
While each of the Filing Persons acknowledges that the Merger is a “going private” transaction for purposes of Rule 13E-3 under the Exchange Act, the filing of this Transaction Statement shall not be construed as an
admission by any Filing Person, or by any affiliate of a Filing Person, that the Company is “controlled” by any Filing Person.
