Dear Fellow Shareholder:
I cordially invite you to attend our 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on November 12, 2020, at 9:30 a.m., Eastern time. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual meeting will be conducted online this year through a live webcast, which is often referred to as a “virtual meeting” of shareholders. Our digital format allows shareholders to participate safely, conveniently, and effectively at a time of increasing limitations on public gatherings and travel. Shareholders can attend the virtual meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CACI2020.
The scheduled matters to be considered and acted on at the meeting are: the election of directors; a non-binding advisory vote to approve our named executive officers’ compensation; amendment of the Company’s 2016 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan to authorize an additional 1,200,000 shares for issuance; and ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2021. Detailed information concerning these matters is set forth in the attached Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement.
As a shareholder, your vote is important. I encourage you to execute and return your proxy promptly whether or not you plan to attend so that we may have as many shares as possible represented at the meeting.

Board of directors and Executive Officers
Director Nomination Procedures
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for reviewing potential Board nominees to determine whether they have the requisite qualifications, expertise and other characteristics for service on the Board and its committees and recommending qualified candidates to the Board for consideration at the Annual Meeting. In fulfillment of these responsibilities, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers the overall composition of the Board to determine whether the Board has a broad range of business experience, expertise, skills, perspectives, tenure and diversity, including gender, race and ethnicity, that allow the Board to draw upon many individual perspectives as the Board oversees, evaluates and advises management with respect to a wide variety of matters.
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee evaluates candidates recommended by Board members, management, shareholders or consultants utilizing the following standards:
|
• |
Demonstrated judgment, intelligence and character; |
|
• |
Record of substantial business experience relevant to the Company; |
|
• |
Ability to represent the interests of our shareholders; |
|
• |
Understanding of executive leadership, marketing, finance and corporate strategy; |
|
• |
Ability to dedicate sufficient time, energy and attention to the performance of their duties; and |
|
• |
Contribution to the range of talent, skill, expertise and individual characteristics of the Board. |
Any shareholder who wishes to formally nominate a person for election as a director must comply with the advance notice provisions of the Company’s By-laws which are described in this proxy statement under “Annual Meeting Information” on page 69.
In order to determine the appropriate mix of professional experiences, expertise and backgrounds for the Board, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board discuss the Board’s composition during the year, and while the Board does not have a formal diversity policy, the Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board should be large enough to reflect a substantial diversity of perspectives, background and experiences and that the Board should consider the scope of diversity, inclusive of gender, race and ethnicity, represented on the Board.

We are committed to strong corporate governance practices designed to maintain high standards of oversight, integrity and ethics while promoting long-term shareholder value.
The Board is responsible for the oversight of management on behalf of our shareholders and the Board accomplishes this function acting directly and through Board committees. In accordance with the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board has eight standing committees: Audit; Compensation; Corporate Governance and Nominating; Culture, Character, Integrity & Ethics; Executive; Investor Relations; Security and Risk Assessment; and Strategic Assessment. This governance structure allows the Board to provide focused advice, insight and oversight in the interests of the Company and our shareholders. The Board and its committees discharge their duties at Board and committee meetings, through telephone contact and other communications with management and others regarding matters of concern and interest to the Company.
Our governance structure and processes are based on our key governance documents, which include the following documents which can either be found on our website at investor.caci.com/leadership-governance/documents or are available upon written request to CACI International Inc, 1100 North Glebe Road, Arlington, Virginia 22201, Attention: Investor Relations:
• Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation |
• Board Committee Charters |
• By-laws |
• Standards of Ethics and Business Conduct |
• Corporate Governance Guidelines
|
• Directors’ Code of Business Ethics and Conduct
|
The Board reevaluates our policies and practices on an ongoing basis and all of our directors, executive officers and other employees are required to review their applicable code of conduct and certify compliance annually to ensure high standards of business conduct that facilitate the Board’s execution of its responsibilities. Additional information is provided below regarding key corporate governance and ethics policies and practices that we believe enable us to manage our business in accordance with the highest standards of business ethics and in the best interest of our shareholders.
We intend to disclose any waiver of compliance with any provision of our code of conduct covered by Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K that is granted to any principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and any amendments to such code of conduct, in the “Investors” section of our website www.caci.com within four business days following the date of such waiver or amendment.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Board is responsible for determining the optimal leadership structure to provide independent oversight of senior management and evaluates the Board’s leadership structure on an annual basis. In evaluating its leadership structure, the Board considers our current operating and governance environment, governance best practices and feedback from our shareholders on how the Board can provide effective oversight of senior management on behalf of our shareholders. Based on these considerations, the Board has determined that separate positions for Chairman and CEO, coupled with a Lead Independent Director, provides an efficient and effective leadership model, fostering clear accountability, differing perspectives and effective decision making as the Chairman focuses on the Board activities while the CEO manages the day to day business. The chart below summarizes the roles and responsibilities of the Executive Chairman and Lead Independent Director:
The Board determined that it was prudent to create the position of Vice Chairman in order to have a director empowered to act with the authority of the Chairman in the event the Chairman is unavailable, and appointed Mr. Daniels to serve as Vice Chairman until such time a successor is appointed by the Board.

Board and Committee Independence
In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, a majority of our Board must be independent as defined by the NYSE listing rules and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). On August 6, 2020, the Board affirmatively determined that nine of its eleven current members (82%) are independent. In making the determination, the Board considered the relationships described below in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.” The Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are comprised entirely of independent directors.
The Board and each of its committees perform annual evaluations of their performance. The evaluation process is managed by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and specifically focuses on areas for improvement. In order to ensure independence during the evaluation process, the evaluation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is conducted by the Executive Committee.
Our Board has an active role, as a whole and at the committee level, in overseeing the management of our risks. The Board regularly reviews information regarding the results of operations and any related trends and other factors contributing to or affecting our results, long-term strategy, financial reporting systems and processes, as well as the risks associated with these aspects of the Company’s business. The Board has also approved Standards of Ethics and Business Conduct that establish standards of conduct for employees that are designed to mitigate risks associated with compliance, foster ethical conduct by our employees and protect company assets. We require all employees to receive annual training related to our Standards of Ethics and Business Conduct and related policies in order to ensure that employees are familiar with those standards of conduct and to mitigate the risks associated with employees’ failure to meet those standards.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
We review all relationships and transactions in which we and our directors and executive officers or their immediate family members are participants, as well as in which greater than 5% shareholders, nominees for director, immediate family members of greater than 5% shareholders and nominees for director, and persons (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of a director, executive officer, nominee for director, or greater than 5% beneficial owner are participants, to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest. The Company’s legal staff is responsible for obtaining information through questionnaires and other appropriate procedures from the directors and executive officers with respect to related party transactions and then determining whether the Company or a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction. Transactions that are determined to be material to the Company or a related person are disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement. In addition, the Audit Committee is charged with reviewing and approving or ratifying any related party transaction. The Audit Committee considers, among other matters, the nature, timing and duration of the transaction, the relationships of the parties to the transaction, whether the transaction is in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the dollar value of the transaction, and whether the transaction is in the interest of the Company.
Upon review by the Audit Committee, no transactions concerning our directors, executive officers or greater than 5% shareholders or immediate family members of these persons require disclosure under Item 404(a).
During fiscal year 2020, the members of the Compensation Committee had no relationships with the Company other than their relationships as directors, their entitlement to the receipt of standard compensation as directors and members of certain committees of the Board, and their relationships to the Company as shareholders.

Financial Performance Summary
Fiscal Year 2020 Performance
Below are charts outlining our performance over the last three fiscal years for the primary performance metrics used by the Compensation Committee in determining our NEOs’ compensation. The performance metrics for fiscal year 2018 are shown without the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”) that occurred during fiscal year
25
ExeCutive Compensation
2018, as that did not affect NEO compensation (i.e., payouts were determined without the increases to diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) and net after tax profit (“NATP”) caused by the legislation). The performance metrics were otherwise determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
The growth depicted in the performance charts had a substantial impact on our NEOs’ earned compensation over the course of this period. For fiscal year 2020, this resulted in an average achievement of 146% of the targeted annual incentive plan value, and the growth of the Company’s stock price through September 15, 2020 resulted in achievement of 101% of the performance-based equity awards granted to the NEOs during the fiscal year, during the first year of the three-year performance period.
COVID-19 IMPACT
We estimate that COVID-19 negatively impacted our fiscal year 2020 financial results by approximately $68.0 million of total revenue and $17.9 million of NATP. The financial impact was primarily driven by CACI employees and subcontractors who were unable to access certain facilities due to COVID-19 and who could not telework. No modifications were made to our compensation programs as a result of COVID-19. All metrics were unchanged from what was established at the beginning of the fiscal year, and incentive programs were assessed including the impacts of COVID-19.

DECISION SUPPORT
As the Compensation Committee made its fiscal year 2020 compensation decisions, it considered that 97% of the votes cast on the Company’s fiscal year 2019 executive compensation program (the “Say on Pay” proposal) were voted in favor of the “Say on Pay” proposal at the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting. This continued the strong support as shown in 2018’s and 2017’s 96% and 99% approval rates, respectively. The Company also actively engages with our shareholders to understand our shareholders’ views towards the program and reviews comments from shareholder advisory services.
|
Pay for Performance Philosophy
The Compensation Committee believes our executive compensation program should incent and reward behaviors that build a foundation for our long-term performance and success while also supporting the achievement of annual objectives. Our performance assessment framework and executive compensation program are designed to reward such performance by linking our executives’ compensation to the achievement of both long- and short-term goals. For example, the annual incentives paid to each of our NEOs vary with performance, including our annual financial results. Additionally, the NEOs receive two types of long-term incentive plan awards that will result in payouts only if we achieve targeted growth in such measures as stock price performance, EPS, NATP and revenue.
Executive Compensation Program Design
The substantial majority of our NEOs’ compensation is directly tied to our performance with short-term and long-term incentives comprising an average of approximately 78% of our NEOs’ target total direct compensation (“TDC”). The following is a list of the principal components of our executive compensation program:
Character |
Component |
Description |
Fixed |
Base Salary |
• Annual fixed portion of NEOs’ TDC designed to attract and retain experienced executives, comprising only approximately an average of 22% of our executives’ target TDC in fiscal year 2020. |
At Risk |
Annual Incentives |
• Cash bonus plan that rewards NEOs for achieving quarterly and annual performance objectives based on EPS, NATP, Total CACI Revenue and Direct Labor, calculated as described below. |
Long-Term Incentives |
• Performance-based Restricted Stock Units (“PRSUs”) earned based on achievement of a minimum one-year EPS threshold, adjusted for annual changes in stock price over a three-year period, and vesting on the third and fourth grant anniversaries. • Cash-based long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) provides value to the executive only to the extent NATP and revenue significantly outperformed plan over a three-year period. The Compensation Committee reviews the LTIP annually and has sole discretion for approving new plans. |
27
ExeCutive Compensation
Compensation Committee |
The Compensation Committee uses a comprehensive process to assess performance on an ongoing basis, which includes frequent dialogue with management about financial performance relative to our goals and competitors, and assessment of corporate and individual executive accomplishments. |
Independent Consultant |
The Compensation Committee also asks its independent compensation consultant to assess our pay-for-performance alignment, which includes an analysis of our NEOs’ realizable pay relative to our peer group and an analysis of operational and shareholder returns relative to our peer group. |
Historical Pay for Performance Results
Our pay for performance philosophy is reflected in the compensation that has been earned by our NEOs over the past three years. The chart below summarizes our corporate performance against the Compensation Committee performance metrics and the impact our performance had on our NEOs’ compensation:

Compensation Governance, Process and Incentive Decisions
Decision Making
The Decision Makers
The Compensation Committee, composed solely of independent directors, is responsible for our executive officer compensation decisions. The Compensation Committee works very closely with its independent consultant and management to examine pay and performance matters during the year. The Compensation Committee held six meetings over the course of fiscal year 2020, and all meetings either ended or started with executive sessions without management present. The Compensation Committee’s charter may be accessed on our website at investor.caci.com/leadership-governance/documents. |
Compensation Committee’s Independent Compensation Consultant
Until December 31, 2019, the Compensation Committee retained Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“FW Cook”) as its independent compensation consultant. Effective January 1, 2020, the Compensation Committee retained Coda Advisors, LLC (“Coda”) as its independent compensation consultant. We refer to both firms collectively when describing the compensation consultant's services and duties.
With respect to fiscal year 2020, the compensation consultant attended Compensation Committee meetings, met with the Compensation Committee in executive sessions, reviewed and provided recommendations on the components of the Company’s executive compensation program and provided compensation advice independent of the Company’s management.
The compensation consultant reports directly to the Committee and performs no work for management other than providing advice on executive compensation pursuant to its engagement by the Committee. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of both FW Cook and Coda pursuant to SEC rules and concluded that their work for the Compensation Committee did not raise any conflicts of interest.

ExeCutive Compensation
The Compensation Committee has both a strategic and administrative role in managing the compensation structure of the Company, with an emphasis on compensation of top management. Strategically, the Compensation Committee considers how the achievement of the overall goals and objectives of the Company can be aided through adoption of an appropriate compensation philosophy and effective program elements.
Administratively, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation paid, salary progressions, incentive compensation allocations, benefits and perquisites provided to all employees, and equity awards granted under all shareholder-approved plans.
The Compensation Committee is responsible for setting the compensation, including incentive and equity-based compensation, of the Company’s executive officers, including NEOs.
The Committee reviews corporate performance each quarter and assesses progress for each goal in the annual incentive program and active long-term incentive programs from current and prior fiscal years. The Committee uses a performance assessment framework to make CEO compensation decisions. For the other NEOs, the Committee, with input from the CEO, reviews (1) business unit/staff group performance against the objectives set for the fiscal year, and (2) each NEO’s Leadership Assessment based on individual performance with regard to key leadership attributes. The Committee evaluates each NEO’s relative compensation and changes in responsibilities and considers current pay practices for comparable positions at peer companies. The Committee also considers the CEO’s recommendations, succession planning, retention, and advice of its independent compensation consultant. Finally, before making pay decisions, the Committee reviews the pay mix to ensure that it is competitively positioned and performance-based. The Committee also discusses other information relevant to executive compensation, such as trends, regulatory updates, and shareholder feedback. |

•Finalized fiscal year 2020 compensation program design •Finalized metrics and goals for the fiscal year 2020 annual incentive plan •Set total target direct compensation for the NEOs for fiscal year 2020
|
DETERMINE TDC TARGETS FOR THE NEOs
At the end of fiscal year 2019, the Compensation Committee determined fiscal year 2020 TDC targets for the CEO and each of the other NEOs employed at the time based on the following process:
•Leadership Evaluation: The Compensation Committee uses a performance assessment framework to make CEO compensation decisions. For the other NEOs, the Compensation Committee, with input from the CEO, reviews (1) performance against the objectives set in fiscal year 2019, and (2) each NEO’s Leadership Assessment based on individual performance with regard to key leadership attributes.
•Risk-Balancing and Performance: In evaluating the performance of the NEOs, the Compensation Committee seeks to understand what was accomplished relative to established objectives, how it was accomplished, the quality of financial results and the Company’s strategic positioning for future competitive advantage.
•Market Practices: The Compensation Committee evaluates each NEO’s relative compensation and changes in responsibilities and considers current pay practices for comparable positions at peer companies.
•Independent Consultant Input: The Compensation Committee receives input from its independent compensation consultant.
•Other Factors: For the NEOs other than the CEO, the Compensation Committee also considers the CEO’s recommendations, succession planning and retention. Finally, before making pay decisions, the Compensation Committee reviews the pay mix to ensure that it is competitively positioned and performance-based.
PROGRAM DESIGN AND GOAL SETTING
At the end of fiscal year 2019, the Compensation Committee also finalized the fiscal year 2020 annual incentive plan. Early in fiscal year 2020, they also reviewed and approved the metrics and goals for the PRSUs. |

FINAL EVALUATION OF FISCAL YEAR 2020 GOALS
At the conclusion of fiscal year 2020, the Compensation Committee reviewed and approved the payouts for the annual incentive plan and LTIP plan and achievement of performance metrics under PRSUs. |
Assessing Competitive Practice
Coda assists the Committee by reviewing comparative market data on compensation practices and programs within the Company’s peer group.
During fiscal year 2020, Coda was responsible for providing information on new laws and regulations, general industry compensation practices, recommendations for director compensation and compensation for management positions under the Committee’s purview, and for performing independent assessments of management recommendations brought before the Committee. FW Cook or Coda participated in all meetings of the Committee during the fiscal year.
For fiscal year 2020, peer comparisons were performed against 15 publicly-traded companies which were selected based on similarities to CACI in size and/or industry as well as operational similarities. The selected companies were as follows:
Alliance Data Systems Corporation |
Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation |
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. |
Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation |
Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. |
Fiserv, Inc. |
Harris Corporation |
Leidos Holdings, Inc. |
LiveRamp Holdings, Inc. |
ManTech International Corporation |
MAXIMUS, Inc. |
Science Applications International Corporation |
Sykes Enterprises, Inc. |
Tetra Tech, Inc. |
Unisys Corporation |
|
The companies used for peer comparisons are reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary due to changes at the selected company (e.g., acquisitions, bankruptcies, etc.) or changes in the comparability of the selected company to CACI. For fiscal year 2020, Convergys Corporation and CSRA Inc. were removed as both companies were acquired in 2018. In addition, Acxiom Corporation was replaced by its successor, LiveRamp Holdings, Inc.
General industry market information for NEO and other senior executive compensation was also provided for the Compensation Committee by Willis Towers Watson, which did not provide advice or analysis regarding the data provided.
Determining Executive Compensation
Executive Compensation Objectives
Our NEO compensation programs are designed to attract, retain and reward the management talent that we need to maintain and strengthen our position in the industry and to achieve our business objectives.

ExeCutive Compensation
OUR COMPENSATION PRINCIPLES
Our compensation programs for NEOs are guided by three basic principles:
Link compensation to performance. We believe that compensation levels should reflect performance - both the performance of CACI and the performance of the recipient.
Maintain competitive compensation levels. We strive to offer programs and levels of compensation that are competitive with those offered by the Company’s peer group to attract, retain and reward our NEOs.
Align management’s interests with those of shareholders. We seek to implement programs that will align management’s interests with those of shareholders and increase long-term shareholder value by granting long-term equity incentive awards each year.

Fiscal Year 2020 Base Salaries
In late fiscal year 2019, the Compensation Committee reviewed and approved our NEOs’ base salaries for fiscal year 2020, taking into consideration the median of base salaries for comparable executives among our peer group, individual performance in fiscal year 2019 and the Company’s overall annual fiscal year 2020 merit increase guidance applicable to all employees.
The adjustments approved by the Compensation Committee became effective on July 1, 2019 for Mr. Mengucci and Ms. Gray, coincident with them taking their new roles. The adjustments for Dr. London and Mr. Mutryn became effective August 1, 2019, which was the Company’s date for salary increases for all employees remaining in existing roles.

Mr. Mengucci was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer effective July 1, 2019 after previously serving as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. In connection with Mr. Mengucci’s appointment, the Committee established his base salary based upon evaluating the competitive median for his new position and the salary for the former President and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Kenneth Asbury.
Dr. London received an increase in his base salary given the increased activity relating to the transition to, and the need to mentor, a new Chief Executive Officer, and expanded activity in connection with the Company’s accelerating growth and diversification.
Mr. Mutryn’s and Ms. Gray’s increases included a one-time offset for a reduction in annual paid time off (PTO) due to a change in the company’s PTO program. Without the impact of the offset, the annual increases would have been 5.8% and 3.2%, respectively.
Fiscal Year 2020 Annual Incentives
Target Annual Incentives
Our annual incentive program is a cash incentive plan designed to motivate our executive officers to achieve pre-established quarterly and annual performance objectives. In establishing target annual incentives for fiscal year 2020, the Compensation Committee reviewed our NEOs’ total target cash compensation, including forecasted results of the LTIP, relative to our peers and made certain adjustments to more closely align our NEOs’ total target cash compensation to the Company’s peer group. The table below shows the fiscal year 2020 NEO target annual incentive levels that were approved by the Compensation Committee in late fiscal year 2019.

In connection with Mr. Mengucci’s appointment to President and Chief Executive Officer, the Committee established his annual incentive target based upon evaluating CEO compensation of the Company’s peer group, and the compensation of former President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kenneth Asbury.
Dr. London received an increase in his annual incentive target given the increased activity relating to the transition to, and the need to mentor, a new Chief Executive Officer, and expanded activity in connection with the Company’s accelerating growth and diversification.
Mr. Kelly joined CACI in March 2019 as part of the acquisition of LGS Innovations LLC. He became subject to CACI’s annual incentive program in fiscal year 2020.
Design
The annual incentive plan has both annual and quarterly components to ensure that executives are focused on performance throughout the fiscal year. These components are described below:
Component |
Determination |
Annual |
Established at the beginning of the fiscal year and may be modified by the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year due to changes in business conditions (e.g., acquisitions, major corporate events, etc.). During fiscal year 2020, no modifications were made. |
Quarterly |
Established at the beginning of the fiscal year and reviewed at the beginning of each quarter, with each quarter representing 10% of the annual incentive program for each NEO. |
Fiscal Year 2020 Targets
At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee establishes the performance metrics applicable to the annual and quarterly components of the annual incentive program. The performance metrics are selected to incent the Company’s growth and support the interests of the Company’s shareholders and are applied to each executive based on their responsibilities. For fiscal year 2020, the Compensation Committee used the same Company-level performance metrics as fiscal year 2019, as they determined the metrics were effective and properly incenting behavior:
35
ExeCutive Compensation
Purpose |
|
|
CACI NATP
|
NATP is the primary indicator of performance that is controlled by the Company and is used as the primary incentive metric to ensure our executives’ focus on overall profitability. |
|
CACI EPS |
EPS is a measure of profitability that is commonly used by our shareholders in evaluating our performance. |
|
CACI Total Revenue |
Revenue is our primary measure of the Company’s growth which requires the maintenance and expansion of current business and the capture of new business. To incent organic growth, the Committee decided to evaluate whether to include acquired revenue in the measurement of this metric after the completion of each acquisition. For fiscal year 2020, CACI Total Revenue was computed in accordance with GAAP and included revenue from all acquisitions. |
|
CACI Direct Labor |
Direct labor is a measure of the amount of work performed by employees, as opposed to costs from other sources. It is also a measure of the quality of revenue, as increased direct labor is more indicative of organic growth and margin improvement. |
In addition, the Compensation Committee approved metrics for the Company’s business sectors, which were applicable to Ms. Gray and Mr. Kelly, among others:
Performance Metric |
Purpose |
|
Sector Pretax Profit (PTP)
|
Pretax profit is the primary indicator of the performance of the sector and is used as the primary incentive metric to ensure our sector executives’ focus on overall profitability. |
|
Sector Revenue |
Revenue is the primary measure of the sector’s growth, which requires the maintenance and expansion of current business and the capture of new business. |
|
Sector Day Sales Outstanding (DSO) |
DSO measures the average number of days that it takes to collect payment from the Company’s customers for services rendered. This was added to the incentive plan for fiscal year 2020 to provide incentive to reduce the Company’s overall DSO. |
|
Sector Net New Hires |
Retaining existing and hiring new employees is important to the Company’s success and growth, and a direct contributor to CACI Direct Labor. This metric measured the growth of the number of employees in each sector, and was included in the fiscal year 2020 incentive plan in order to provide incentive to both retain our current employees as well as to fill open job requisitions. |
The following is a summary of the performance metrics applicable to each NEO for the annual and quarterly components of the annual incentive program.

ExeCutive Compensation
After determining the appropriate performance metrics and weights applicable to the annual incentive program, the Compensation Committee establishes the target performance levels for the Company performance metric at the beginning of the fiscal year. The performance targets for each metric are established based on the Company’s five-year strategic plan, current business environment, review of the competitive market, historical performance against targets and the Company’s desire for growth. The President and Chief Executive Officer is responsible for flowing the Company metrics down to sector-level metrics.
Once performance targets are established for each Company performance metric, the Compensation Committee determines appropriate lower, or “Cut,” threshold levels for each metric and upper, or “Stretch,” threshold levels. For performance below Cut levels, no bonus is awarded. For performance at or above Cut levels, bonus payouts are prorated on a straight-line basis. For performance goals that represent profit metrics, bonus payouts for performance above Stretch levels are calculated as a percentage of the NEOs’ respective metric performance. Total payment for the annual incentive program is capped at 250% of the target payout for each NEO.
The ranges between Cut, Target and Stretch thresholds are based upon multiple factors assessed by the Compensation Committee, including historical ranges and historical performance against Cut, Target and Stretch thresholds. For fiscal year 2020, for profit (CACI NATP, CACI EPS, and Sector Pretax Profit) and revenue (CACI Total Revenue, CACI Direct Labor, and Sector Revenue) metrics, the Committee set the Cut thresholds at 94% of Target and Stretch thresholds at 104% of Target. The thresholds for Net New Hires were set with Cut at 96% of Target and Stretch at 104% of Target. The thresholds for DSO were set with Cut at 96% of Target and Stretch at 106% of Target, similar to the other metrics but with the difference being that lower DSO was being incented.

In consideration of the performance outlined above, the table below provides a summary of the annual incentives actually earned by our NEOs. The differences in the payouts as a percentage of target for Dr. London and Messrs. Mengucci and Mutryn despite their having the same metrics is due to the impact of performing above Stretch for the NATP metric. Dr. London and Mr. Mengucci receive 2.0% of the amount that CACI NATP exceeds the Stretch level up to a total earned annual incentive of 250% of their target payout, and Mr. Mutryn receives 1.5% of the amount that CACI NATP exceeds the Stretch level up to a total earned annual incentive of 250% of their target payout.

Fiscal Year 2020 Long-Term Incentives
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (PRSUs)
A significant portion of our NEOs’ TDC is granted in the form of PRSUs that are designed to improve shareholder value and contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company. To receive any shares granted under the award, the Company must reach a minimum one-year EPS threshold. If the minimum threshold is met, then any earned shares are earned over a three-year performance period with the number of shares earned each year adjusted by the percentage growth or decline from the average stock price over the 90 calendar days immediately preceding the grant to the average stock price over the 90 calendar days immediately preceding the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to an overall cap of 200% of the target number of PRSUs granted. Once earned, the shares vest ratably on the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Below is a hypothetical example of how PRSUs are earned and vested:

The EPS threshold for fiscal year 2020 was set at $8.75. This was based on anticipated potential delays from new business awards compared to what was in the fiscal year 2020 plan, which was considered to be a realistic possibility given the dynamics of the government services industry.
During the annual review of the equity program, the Compensation Committee considered other formats, such as stock options, stock appreciation rights, non-performance-based RSUs, performance-based equity that leverages other financial metrics approved within the CACI 2016 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan, and performance-based equity based on relative performance metrics against a defined peer group or stock market index. Regarding the use of relative performance metrics, it was determined that the existing and anticipated turnover of companies in the competitive market due to acquisitions, spin-offs, privatization, new public offerings and other similar transactions made the measurement over a three-year period unfeasible at this time. Further, feedback from our investors in recent years about the potential usage of a stock market index for a relative performance metric indicated that such a metric would receive little support.
The Compensation Committee used market data provided by its compensation consultants to set the target value of equity for the NEOs. Based on this review, the Compensation Committee made certain adjustments to align our NEOs with the peer group.

Dr. London received a PRSU grant in recognition for the additional role he was taking on in fiscal year 2020 to mentor a new CEO and expanded activity in connection with the Company’s accelerating growth and diversification. This grant was valued at $2,000,000 at the time of grant, and shall become earned only upon satisfying a defined minimum EPS threshold at the conclusion of Company’s fiscal year 2021. If the performance condition is satisfied, it will then vest on second anniversary of the grant. |

Ms. Gray received an RSU grant in recognition for her performance as President of U.S. Operations and for taking on the new role of the President of the new Business and Information Technology Solutions business sector. This grant was valued at $2,000,000 at the time of grant, and was also provided to help ensure Ms. Gray’s retention. The grant will vest entirely on the third anniversary of the grant. |
Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) (Cash)
The LTIP is a separate plan, independent of other incentive programs administered by the Compensation Committee. The LTIP is a cash-based plan, designed to incent long-term growth and profitability, with performance metrics set at very challenging levels. The Compensation Committee has historically selected NATP and revenue as performance metrics for the LTIP to incent higher levels of long-term growth along these important metrics.
The cash incentives under the LTIP are distributed at the end of a three-year period, with a third of the value earned on a one-year performance period, a third of the value earned on a cumulative two-year performance period and a third of the value earned on a cumulative three-year performance period that are each established at the time the target award is determined. Metrics are set for all three years at the time the plan is approved.
The Compensation Committee reviews the LTIP annually and has sole discretion for approving new plans and selecting participants for the plans. In fiscal year 2020, the Committee decided not to implement a new LTIP plan due to incentives that already existed from a prior year’s plan. A plan approved in fiscal year 2018 remained active in fiscal year 2020 with the metrics previously approved. Among the NEOs, Mr. Mengucci, Mr. Mutryn and Ms. Gray participated in the 2018 plan.
|
At the conclusion of each fiscal year after grant, CACI’s performance against the metrics is measured. If both metrics are achieved, each participant would earn 100% of their LTIP potential for that year. If only NATP or revenue is achieved, only a portion of the annual potential would be earned. The performance metrics, weightings and targets for the 2020 performance period for the 2018 LTIP are below (in millions). The NATP targets were increased from the original metrics to account for the impact of the TCJA that occurred during fiscal year 2018, so that participants would not unduly benefit from the increases to NATP that resulted from that legislation.

Other Compensation Policies and Practices
Benefits and Executive Perquisites
All NEOs are entitled to receive a Company-provided automobile or an allowance to obtain an automobile. All automobile benefits are fully taxable as ordinary income; no tax gross-up is provided.
All NEOs are also eligible for annual financial planning services. The value of these services is also fully taxable as ordinary income; no tax gross-up is provided.
In addition, we provide a $25,000 discretionary benefit allowance per calendar year to the President and Chief Executive Officer and to the Chairman of the Board and Executive Chairman. This allowance can be used for business or personal expenses. All personal benefit received from this allowance is fully taxable as ordinary income; no tax gross-up is provided.
Furthermore, Dr. London has a medical agreement that provides lifetime participation in the Company’s executive medical plan for him and his spouse to the extent permitted by law, with such participation on the same basis that existed just prior to any merger, consolidation, or change in control of the Company.
Executives are also permitted to participate in the Company’s other employee benefit plans on substantially the same terms as other employees. For example, the Company makes matching contributions to our 401(k) plan based on employee contributions, and executives receive the same benefit.
All amounts related to perquisites for NEOs are disclosed in column (i) of the Summary Compensation Table, along with details on their valuations.
Severance and Change in Control Benefits
The Company currently maintains severance agreements with Dr. London, Mr. Mengucci, and Mr. Mutryn; Ms. Gray and Mr. Kelly fell under the Company’s general policy for executives during fiscal year 2020, which provided for six months’ salary upon involuntary separation without cause. The purpose of the agreements is to provide those executives with a degree of security and to mitigate concern that they might have regarding their continued employment prior to or following a change in control, thereby allowing the executive to focus their undivided attention to serving the interests of the Company and our shareholders. The Company believes that appropriate severance arrangements are necessary to attract and retain these key executives and are an important part of a competitive overall compensation program for the NEOs.
42
ExeCutive Compensation
In the event of a change in control, severance benefits in the agreements are generally payable only upon a “double trigger,” meaning that severance benefits are triggered when an eligible executive is involuntarily terminated without cause by the Company or resigns for “good reason” within one year following a change in control. This “double trigger” provision was implemented to be consistent with good market practices. We believe this program encourages retention in the face of an actual or potential change in control and aligns executive and shareholder interests. Furthermore, the program allows top executives to review corporate transactions that are in the best interests of our shareholders without concern over whether the transactions may adversely impact the executive’s employment.
Per the terms of his employment agreement, Dr. London is entitled to severance benefits if he voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason within one year of a change in control; this term was negotiated in good faith with Dr. London in 2007 and was part of prior employment agreements, and the Compensation Committee has decided that new employment agreements will contain a “double trigger” provision as outlined in the preceding paragraph.
All equity awards granted since 2010 have provided for “double trigger” vesting acceleration in the event of a change in control, under which vesting accelerates only upon a change in control and involuntary termination without cause or resignation for good reason within one year after the change of control.
The following separation terms also apply to the Company’s long-term incentive programs:
|
RSU Grants: |
Grant recipients over age 62 as of July 1, 2008 (“grandfathered employees”) who retire at or above age 65 vest in all RSUs upon retirement unless the RSUs are still in the first year of their measurement period, in which case they are forfeited upon retirement. Non-grandfathered executives who retire at age 62 or older vest in a prorated portion of the RSUs based upon their number of months of service after the grant date divided by the full vesting timeframe; the numbers of RSUs received are still subject to the results of the performance conditions. A grantee terminated without cause is entitled to the same treatment as a non-grandfathered executive retiring at age 62 or older. Dr. London is the only grandfathered executive among the NEOs. |
|
LTIP: |
In the event of a change in control during the three-year performance period, participants will receive payment for bonuses earned for completed fiscal years as well as for the annual bonus potential for the current fiscal year at the time the change in control event is legally consummated and binding (subject to IRS regulations or other laws/regulations). |
Calculations for various termination scenarios are included in the “Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control” section of this proxy statement.
Retirement Plans
The Company offers a non-qualified deferred compensation plan to encourage employees to save for their retirement. Eligible employees, which include all NEOs, may elect to contribute up to 50% of their U.S. base salary and 100% of their U.S. bonuses and commissions to this plan on a pre-tax basis. The Company contributes 5% of all income over the compensation limit in section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”) to participants, subject to plan vesting conditions, and may make a supplemental discretionary contribution to a participant’s account in any amount it elects. No discretionary contributions were made in fiscal year 2020.
The Company entered into a supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) with Mr. Mengucci that provides certain benefits to offset the forfeiture of potential benefits from his previous employment. Mr. Mengucci is the only active employee with a SERP. The SERP provides for annual, lifetime payments of $270,000 upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of Mr. Mengucci’s employment on or after December 1, 2022, unless such termination is for cause (as defined in Mr. Mengucci’s employment agreement) which would result in the forfeiture of all benefits under the SERP. Upon his death, a surviving spouse will receive annual, lifetime payments of $135,000. If Mr. Mengucci voluntarily terminates his employment other than for good reason prior to December 1, 2022, Mr. Mengucci will receive a pro rata portion of the payment amount based on his period of executive service beginning June 3, 2019. In the event of a
43
ExeCutive Compensation
Change of Control, Mr. Mengucci and a spouse will receive the full benefits payable under the SERP unless Mr. Mengucci is terminated for cause or voluntarily terminates his employment other than for good reason. The Company provides no other executive a SERP and does not currently anticipate doing so in the future.
Management Stock Purchase Plan
The Company offers a Management Stock Purchase Plan (“MSPP”) to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company by providing executives with incentives to improve shareholder value and to contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company. The MSPP also helps executives to meet their mandated stock ownership requirements. The Board believes that the MSPP serves these goals, encouraging executives to convert a higher percentage of their cash compensation into Company equity.
The MSPP provides for equity ownership in the Company by senior officers by allowing the voluntary deferral of up to 100% of the annual portion of their annual incentive plan compensation into RSUs. All deferred shares are bought at a discount of up to 15%, as determined annually by the Compensation Committee, of fair market value. The Company may grant matching awards in an amount not to exceed 25% of the participant’s deferrals and subject to such vesting or other restrictions or conditions as the Compensation Committee determines.
The amount of the discount to fair market value and matching grant is determined by the Compensation Committee no later than December 31st of the fiscal year in which the bonus is earned. During fiscal year 2020, the Compensation Committee approved a 15% discount with no matching.
The benefit provided from MSPP purchases for each NEO is listed in column (i) of the Summary Compensation Table.
Stock Ownership Requirements
The Compensation Committee maintains executive stock ownership requirements for senior officers to focus those executives on the long-term growth in value of the Company and to ensure they act as owners of the Company. The stock ownership requirements are based on a multiple of the executive’s salary as set forth below and the number of shares required to be held is determined annually based on the 90-day average stock price on July 1. The required multiple for each executive is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee to ensure that it provides enough incentive to properly align the interests of senior management with those of our shareholders.
Until an executive meets the required number of shares, they are limited with respect to the number of shares they are allowed to sell, and are only allowed to sell one-half of the shares issued with respect to vested RSUs that remain after payment of taxes (standard practice is to sell a portion of shares that vest to cover the tax burden caused by the vesting); the other one-half that must be retained is used to determine the interim ownership requirement until the full number of shares is reached, with each successive vesting being added to the prior interim requirement in order to establish the new requirement.
Based on these requirements, the full number of shares required to be held by each of our NEOs, the multiple of each executive’s base salary full ownership would represent, and the requirement as of July 1, 2019 provided in the table below. The Compensation Committee believes these salary multiples are robust and above comparable peer levels.

ExeCutive Compensation
Stockholdings are measured annually as of July 1st to determine compliance with the requirements, which are based upon the prior year’s level plus one-half of all vested restricted stock and/or restricted stock units after taxes are withheld since the prior July 1st. Only fully owned shares count in the measurement; unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units do not count, nor do any other unvested and/or unexercised instruments.
To encourage compliance, a noncompliant senior officer is required to participate in the MSPP with 100% of the annual portion of his or her annual incentive plan compensation being applied to acquire RSUs until such time that he or she meets the required holding level.
All NEOs were in compliance with their respective stock ownership requirements as of July 1, 2020.
The Company has not adopted a formal policy regarding the ability of employees or directors to purchase financial instruments or otherwise engage in transactions that hedge or offset any decrease in the value of the Company’s shares. The Company does require pre-approval of any transaction related to the Company’s securities by the Company’s executive officers and directors.
We maintain a formal “clawback” policy for incentive awards that is broader in its reach than that imposed by Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). The policy was adopted in fiscal year 2010 and covers incentive awards to “officers” (as defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act). Under the policy, in the event of a restatement of previously reported financial results, the Compensation Committee may require reimbursement of the incremental portion of incentive awards paid to executive officers in excess of the awards that should properly have been paid based on the restated financial results.
The Compensation Committee is monitoring this policy to ensure that it remains consistent with applicable laws, including emerging requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Impact of Regulatory Requirements
The Compensation Committee seeks regular updates on changes in regulations affecting compensation and how they impact executive compensation. The Compensation Committee considers applicable regulatory requirements when making compensation decisions and seeks to ensure that Company compensation plans continue to meet such requirements.
Prior to its amendment by the TCJA, which was enacted December 22, 2017, section 162(m) of the IRC (“Section 162(m)”), disallowed a tax deduction to public companies for compensation paid in excess of $1 million to “covered employees” under Section 162(m) . Prior to this amendment, there was an exception to this $1 million limitation for performance-based compensation if certain requirements were met. The Compensation Committee has historically designed its compensation programs based on its belief that a substantial portion of the compensation payable to NEOs should be based on the achievement of performance-based targets or otherwise be designed with the intent that such compensation qualifies as deductible performance-based compensation under Section 162(m).
As in prior years, the Compensation Committee will continue to take into account the tax and accounting implications (including with respect to the lack of deductibility under the revised Section 162(m)) when making compensation decisions, but reserves its right to make compensation decisions based on other factors if the Compensation Committee determines that it is in the Company’s best interests to do so. Further, taking into account the elimination of the exception for performance-based compensation, the Compensation Committee may determine to make changes or
45
ExeCutive Compensation
amendments to the Company’s existing compensation programs in order to revise aspects of our programs that were initially designed to comply with Section 162(m) but that may no longer provide the intended tax advantages.
Risk Assessment
The Company performs an annual assessment of the Company’s overall compensation risk profile. The Compensation Committee also engages Coda to review the risk assessment of the Company’s executive and non-executive compensation programs.
As a part of this risk assessment, the Company has made the following findings about CACI’s compensation programs:
|
• |
the Board and the Compensation Committee exercise close oversight over the performance measures utilized by the annual incentive plan and the long-term incentive plans, which in combination serve to balance short-term and long-term performance requirements and enhance shareholder value; |
|
• |
the performance objectives of the plans are linked such that achievement of annual incentive plan measures serves to enhance the performance of the Company while also supporting the goals established for the LTIP; |
|
• |
the balance of total compensation is more heavily weighted to long-term incentives, and increasing the stock price over the long-term provides the maximum incentive value; and |
|
• |
the Company has a rigorous system of internal controls designed to prevent any individual employee from creating adverse material risk in pursuit of short- or long-term compensation. For example, the Board must approve all capital outlays of $10 million or more, as well as all acquisitions and divestitures of $5 million or more. |
Based on these analyses, the Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s compensation programs do not encourage excessive risk-taking.
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Based upon such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 be included in the Company’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

COMPENSATION TABLES
In accordance with Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) during fiscal year 2020 (Mr. Mengucci) to the annual total compensation of our median employee was computed to be 84 to 1 for fiscal year 2020, based on the methodology described below.
As of June 30, 2020, our total active employee population consisted of approximately 22,900 individuals, including our CEO. We compared the annual salary of all active employees, with the exception of Mr. Mengucci, as reflected in our human resources systems of record; as part of this process we annualized compensation for any employees who were employed for less than the full fiscal year, but we did not annualize the compensation for employees in temporary or seasonal positions. This measure was consistently applied to all individuals in the measured employee population and yielded our “approximate median employee.”
For the approximate median employee, we then calculated their annual total compensation for fiscal year 2020 using the same methodology we used for purposes of determining the annual total compensation of our CEO in the Summary Compensation Table. This yielded compensation for the approximate median employee of $107,159.
The annual total compensation of Mr. Mengucci, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table above, was $9,019,556. The ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Mengucci to the compensation for the approximate median employee was then computed, yielding the final result of 84 to 1. We believe this is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.
We note that, in determining the employees from which the median employee is identified, SEC rules permit companies to use statistical sampling, reasonable estimates and other reasonable methods. As a result, the pay ratios reported by other companies may have been calculating using methodologies, exclusions and estimates that differ from the ones we used to calculate our pay ratio. Accordingly, our pay ratio may not be directly comparable to the pay ratios of other companies.
During fiscal year 2020, the term of each NEO’s severance agreement was one year with automatic one-year extensions thereafter (except for Ms. Gray and Mr. Kelly who do not have a severance agreement), unless the Company provides written notice of the Company’s intent to amend the Company’s severance policy with respect to its senior executives and to apply the amended policy to the executive. In the event the Company provides such notice to the executive, agreements expire by their terms at the end of the full-term year that begins on the next July 1st following the date such notice is received by the executive officer.
Per the terms of the agreements, each executive’s employment may be terminated by the Company without a separation payment of any kind in the event of death or a termination for cause as determined by the Board.
In the event of a termination by the Company for disability, the Company is generally required to provide 30 days’ notice, and pay any incentive compensation earned but unpaid as of the date of termination for any fiscal year prior to the year in which such termination occurs.
In the event of termination without cause by the Company or resignation for “good reason” by the executive, as defined in the agreements, the Company will pay a severance payment equal to a specified number of months of the executive’s base salary, prorated cash incentive compensation payments otherwise payable under the executive’s
51
COMPENSATION TABLES
incentive compensation plan for the fiscal year of termination, and continued participation in the Company’s health care plan for a defined period of time. Further, for unvested stock grants the terms of the grant agreements entitle the recipient to receive a prorated portion of the unvested stock based upon the number of full months of service divided by the total vesting timeframe. When the executive’s resignation is not associated with a change in control, “good reason” is defined as (i) a material reduction in the executive’s total compensation and benefit opportunity (other than a reduction made by the Board, acting in good faith, based upon the performance of the executive, or to align the compensation and benefits of the executive with that of comparable executives, based on market data); or (ii) a substantial adverse alteration in the conditions of the executive’s employment.
In the event of a termination without cause or resignation for “good reason” within one year of the effective date of a change in control, the agreements provide that the Company will pay similar termination payments as in the preceding paragraph but require the executive’s base salary to be paid for a higher number of specified months and a specified payment based on the average incentive compensation earned by the executive for the five fiscal years immediately preceding the termination (except that in Dr. London’s case, he is also entitled to such termination payment if he voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason within one year following a change in control). Further, the terms of the grant agreements entitle the recipient to receive their unvested stock. In the event of a change in control, “good reason” is defined as (i) a substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of the executive’s position or responsibilities from those in effect on the day before the change in control date; or (ii) a change in the geographic location of the executive’s job more than 50 miles from the place at which such job was based on the day before the change in control date.
The table below delineates the benefits upon separation for each NEO with an agreement in fiscal year 2020 under the scenarios as described above:
|

Salary Multiple: Termination for Good Reason or Involuntary Termination Without Cause

Bonus Multiple: Upon Change in Control and Termination for Good Reason or Involuntary Termination Without Cause (average annual payment for last five years) |

The agreements for Dr. London and Mr. Mutryn include partial protection against excise taxes payable under IRC section 280G in the event of termination only after a change in control (a one-time payment of two-thirds of the excise tax to the executive up to a limit of $500,000). Since these agreements were put in place in 2007, the Compensation Committee decided not to include this term in any new agreements, and it is therefore not included in the agreements with other executive officers.
The agreements also restrict each executive officer’s rights to compete with the Company or to offer employment to Company employees following termination.
With the exception of Mr. Mengucci, no changes to existing agreements have been made since the beginning of fiscal year 2020. Effective July 1, 2019, in connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Mengucci entered into an employment agreement that provides in the event of a termination (by the Company without cause or by resignation for “good reason”) the amounts as listed above.
In the event of a termination of employment, Ms. Gray will receive severance in accordance with the Company’s policies. For Ms. Gray’s position, this policy provides for six months’ salary upon involuntary separation without cause. Mr. Kelly resigned as the Company’s President, National Security and Innovative Solutions effective July 3, 2020 and did not receive severance in connection with his resignation.

COMPENSATION TABLES
Calculations for various termination scenarios are included in the “Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control” section below.
Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control
The table below reflects the amount of compensation payable to each NEO upon termination of employment under various termination scenarios (other than Mr. Kelly, whose employment terminated in July 2020). The tables show the amount of compensation payable to each current NEO upon voluntary termination (other than for “good reason”) or retirement not in connection with a change in control, upon termination by the Company without cause or by the NEO for “good reason” other than in connection with a change in control, and upon termination by the Company without cause or by the NEO for “good reason” (or, in the case of Dr. London, any reason) following a change in control. The amounts shown assume, for illustrative purposes, that such termination was effective as of June 30, 2020, and therefore include amounts earned through such date, and are estimates of the amounts which would be paid to the NEOs upon termination. The actual amounts to be paid can be determined only at the time of the actual separation from the Company.
Mr. Kelly resigned as the Company’s President, National Security and Innovative Solutions effective July 3, 2020 and did not receive compensation in connection with his resignation.

For Messrs. Mengucci and Mutryn and Ms. Gray, this also includes the annual bonus potential for the 2018 LTIP in accordance with its terms. For the Separation Payment following a Change in Control, includes incentive plan amounts earned but not yet paid for fiscal year 2020 for all NEOs. |

Assumes that Dr. London is entitled to receive lifetime medical benefits as previously described, and that Messrs. Mengucci and Mutryn are entitled to receive continuation of health benefits following the date of separation for reasons other than voluntary termination or retirement. For Dr. London, the table value therefore represents the present value (using a discount rate of 2.48%) of continued current medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage less the estimated portion of the cost, plus the amount required to cover all estimated applicable local, state and federal income and payroll taxes imposed with respect to such payments over Dr. London’s expected life span (based upon IRS Life Expectancy Tables). For Messrs. Mengucci and Mutryn, the table value represents the total values of continued current medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage over the duration of the coverage period, less the executive’s current portion of the cost, plus the amount required to cover all estimated applicable local, state and federal income and payroll taxes imposed with respect to such payment. |

Represents the value of monies deferred into the non-qualified retirement plan during employment, plus investment gains and losses, that would be payable upon termination. |

Represents the value of all Company contributions paid into the non-qualified retirement plan on behalf of the executive officer during employment that would be payable upon termination. In the event of termination for “Good Reason” or without cause within one year after the effective date of a Change in Control, all unvested Company contributions would vest. |

Represents the present value of benefits accrued by Mr. Mengucci through June 30, 2020 under his SERP. The accrued benefit would be paid over his expected remaining lifespan. |
(6) |
Based on the number of RSUs that would vest and the terms of RSU grants as described in the “Severance and Change in Control Benefits” section, multiplied by the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock as of June 30, 2020. For the performance-based grants made in September 2017, October 2018, and October 2019 the maximum number of RSUs for which the measurement periods were not complete would result upon a change in control. |

As described above under “Severance Agreements,” two named executive officers have legacy entitlements to partial protection against IRC section 280G excise taxes in the event of termination after a change in control. Specifically, their severance agreements provide for a one-time payment to the executive equal to the lesser of two-thirds of the excise tax to the executive and $500,000. Based on the assumptions used in the preparation of the table, no payments would be due to the executives under this termination scenario. |
(8) |
Assumes that the executive officer resigned for “good reason” or was terminated without cause within one year after a change in control. Dr. London is entitled to this payment if he voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason within one year after a change in control. Ms. Gray would be entitled to the cash severance only upon termination without cause by the Company. |

The Compensation Committee evaluates the compensation and form of compensation for non-employee directors annually. As a part of this process, the Compensation Committee reviews general market data for director compensation as well as director compensation data from the Company’s peer group, the same group used for our executive compensation review, including cash compensation, equity compensation and stock ownership requirements. The Compensation Committee also considers input from FW Cook, the third-party compensation consultant retained by the Compensation Committee, regarding market practices for director compensation. The Compensation Committee intends to set director compensation levels at or near the market median relative to directors at companies of comparable size, industry, and scope of operations in order to ensure directors are paid competitively for their time commitment and responsibilities. As a result, non-employee director compensation generally approximates the market median and is periodically adjusted to maintain alignment with market practices. The Compensation Committee intends to continue to conduct director compensation reviews annually.
Each non-employee director is compensated according to the following arrangements for his or her service as a director, including participation in meetings of the full Board and the committee(s) of which he or she is a member:

Equity grants are made in the form of RSUs expressed as a dollar value, in an amount established from time to time by the Compensation Committee. Such RSU awards are made on the date of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders at which time such election occurs, based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on that date. Under the Company’s Director Stock Purchase Plan (DSPP), Directors may also elect to receive RSUs in lieu of up to one hundred percent of their annual cash retainer, with such election to be made prior to the commencement of the effective calendar year. The number of RSUs is based on the fair market value of the stock on the date of issuance. |

Members of the Executive Committee are compensated on a per meeting basis. |

The base number of meetings for the Board and each applicable committee is up to 4 meetings per Fiscal Year. |

The amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC 718 for awards of stock in fiscal year 2020 under the terms of the Company's 2016 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan. The grant date fair value per share is the closing price for the Company's stock on the November 14, 2019 grant date ($230.23). For fiscal year 2020, the Company awarded 652 RSUs to Directors Daniels, Jews, Johnson, Pavitt, Phillips, Plunkett, Revoile and Wallace with a grant date fair value of $150,000 each. The outstanding number of RSUs awarded to each director as of June 30, 2020 was as follows: Director Daniels 326; Director Jews 326; Director Johnson 326; Director Pavitt 326; Director Phillips 326; Director Plunkett 326; Director Revoile 326; and Director Wallace 326. |

Ms. Gordon was appointed to the Board of Directors on April 6, 2020. |
The Committee has also adopted stock ownership requirements for non-employee directors to better align their interests with those of shareholders. The requirement is based on five times the value of their base Annual Retainer ($75,000), converted annually on December 1st to a whole number of shares based on the 90-day average price of CACI stock. Until the Director holds the required number of shares, the director is limited with respect to the number of shares the director is allowed to sell, and is only allowed to sell one-half of the shares issued with respect to vested RSUs for the purpose of covering the tax burden caused by the vesting; the other one-half that must be retained is used to determine the interim ownership requirement until the full number of shares is reached, with each successive vesting being added to the prior interim requirement in order to establish the new requirement. Only fully owned shares count in the measurement; unvested restricted stock units do not count, nor do any other unvested and/or unexercised instruments. The penalty for non-compliance is that the Director is required to participate in the DSPP, with 100 percent of the director’s earned Annual Retainer and committee fees being applied to the acquisition of CACI stock, until such time as the director meets the required holding level.
Stockholdings are measured annually as of December 1st to determine compliance with the stock ownership guidelines. For the compliance checkpoint on December 1, 2019, this requirement translated into a requirement to hold 2,051 fully owned shares for all non-employee directors on the Board at that time except for Ms. Plunkett, who had an interim holding requirement of 415 fully owned shares. The required ownership level will continue to be reviewed annually by the Committee to ensure that it provides enough incentive to properly align the interests of the non-employee directors with those of the Company’s shareholders. All non-employee directors were in compliance with their respective stock ownership requirements as of the December 1, 2019 checkpoint.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020
In accordance with the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee of the Board assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices of the Company. The Audit Committee Charter was first adopted by the Board in June 1994 and has been reviewed annually and amended as necessary since that date. Each member of the Audit Committee qualifies as “independent” in accordance with Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the requirements of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, Sections 303A.01, 303A.02, 303A.06, and 303A.07. In fulfilling its responsibilities as set forth in the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee has accomplished the following:
1. |
It has reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited financial statements with management, including discussions regarding critical accounting policies, financial accounting and reporting principles and practices, the quality of such principles and practices, the reasonableness of significant judgments and estimates, and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; |
2. |
It has discussed with the independent auditors the quality of the financial statements, the clarity of the related disclosures, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and other items required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC; |
3. |
It has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the auditors’ communications with the Audit Committee regarding independence, and has discussed with the independent auditors any matters affecting their independence; and |
4. |
Based on the review and discussions described in subparagraphs (1) through (3) above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 for filing with the SEC. |

Proposal 1Election of Directors
In accordance with the Company’s By-laws and Guidelines, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, has nominated the following eleven persons for reelection to serve as members of the Board until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until a successor has been elected and qualified, or until the director’s earlier death, resignation or removal:
Nominees
Michael A. Daniels |
James L. Pavitt |
Susan M. Gordon |
Warren R. Phillips |
William L. Jews |
Debora A. Plunkett |
Gregory G. Johnson |
Charles P. Revoile |
J.P. London |
William Scott Wallace |
John S. Mengucci(1) |
|
(1) |
Under his employment agreement, if Mr. Mengucci no longer serves as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, terminates his employment for any reason or provides notice to the Company regarding such a termination, he shall resign from the Board. |
Unless instructed otherwise, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote the shares of common stock represented by the proxy FOR the election of the eleven nominees listed above. In the event that any nominee becomes unavailable or unwilling to serve as a member of our Board, the proxy holders will vote in their discretion for a substitute nominee.
You can find more information about the leadership skills and other experiences that caused the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board to determine that these nominees should serve as directors under “Board of Directors” on page 6 of this proxy statement. Information about our nominating procedures and other corporate governance matters can be found under “Corporate Governance” on page 13 of this proxy statement.
Required Vote
A majority of the votes properly cast for a director nominee is sufficient to elect such director (meaning the number of shares voted “for” a director nominee must exceed the number of shares voted “against” such director nominee). Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose and will have no effect on the election of nominees.
The election of directors is deemed a non-routine matter under NYSE rules and a beneficial owner’s nominee will not be able to vote on the election of directors without instructions. We encourage all beneficial owners to provide voting instructions to such parties to ensure that their shares are voted at the Annual Meeting.
CACI Recommendation
Our Board recommends a vote “FOR” the election to the Board of each of the above-mentioned nominees.
60
Proposal 2Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we provide our shareholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on a nonbinding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in this proxy statement. While this vote is advisory, it will provide information to our Compensation Committee regarding investor sentiment about our compensation principles and objectives. We urge you to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 24, compensation tables and related narratives appearing in this proxy statement for more information regarding the compensation of our named executive officers.
The vote on this resolution is not intended to address any specific element of compensation; rather, the vote relates to the philosophy and structure of our compensation program for our named executive officers as well as the overall compensation of those officers, as described in this proxy statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The vote is advisory, which means that the vote is not binding on the Company, our Board or the Compensation Committee. To the extent there is any significant vote against our named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address the concerns of shareholders.
Our Board and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders. At the 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders approved our fiscal year 2019 named executive officers’ compensation, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and compensation tables, as well as the other narrative executive compensation disclosures contained in the definitive proxy statement for our 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Our shareholders approved the resolution on executive compensation with over 96% of the votes cast being cast in favor of our executive compensation. Accordingly, we ask our shareholders to vote on the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that the Company’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion.”
Required Vote
On this non-binding matter, a majority of the votes properly cast on this matter (meaning the number of shares voted “for” this matter must exceed the number of shares voted “against” this matter) is necessary for the matter to be approved. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.
A shareholder’s advisory vote on executive compensation is deemed a non-routine matter under NYSE rules and a beneficial owner’s nominee will not be able to vote on executive compensation without instructions. We encourage all beneficial owners to provide voting instructions to such parties to ensure that their shares are voted at the Annual Meeting.
CACI Recommendation
The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement.
61
Proposal 3Approval of Amendment of the 2016 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan
On August 6, 2020, the Board approved an amendment of the CACI International Inc 2016 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan by 1,200,000 shares. The Plan was originally approved by shareholders in 2006 and was subsequently amended and restated with approval of the shareholders in 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2016.
As of September 16, 2020, 527,708 shares of our common stock were still available for issuance under the Plan, excluding the maximum number of shares that may be issuable pursuant to outstanding awards. If the shareholders approve the proposed amendment to the Plan, the total number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan (including shares that have already been issued under the Plan) will increase from 1,200,000 shares to 2,400,000 shares. As of September 16, 2020, the closing price of our common stock was $223.72 per share.
Burn rate measures our usage of shares for our stock plans as a percentage of our outstanding shares. For 2020, 2019, and 2018, our burn rate was 0.9%, 1.0%, and 0.9%, respectively, resulting in an average annual burn rate of 0.9% over a three-year period. The rates were calculated by dividing the number of shares subject to awards granted during the year net of forfeitures and cancellations by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.
The Board believes that the amendment of the Plan will benefit the Company and its shareholders by allowing the Company to continue to achieve the objectives of the Plan: (i) to increase the stake of key employees and executives in the success of the Company; (ii) to align the interests of awardees under the Plan with the interests of the shareholders; (iii) to keep pace with the increase in number of Company employees due to both the Company’s internal growth and outside acquisition activities; and (iv) to aid the Company in its efforts to recruit and retain highly qualified individuals. The Board believes that the grant of awards under the Plan will not result in an unacceptable level of dilution to the interests of public stockholders and that the Company’s financial performance and the resulting performance of the Common Stock indicate that the benefits of the Plan could more than offset any such potential dilution.
The principal terms of the Plan are summarized below. The following summary of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Plan, as amended by the Board on August 6, 2020, which is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A and incorporated herein by reference. Terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
Summary Description of the Plan
Purpose
The Plan is designed to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company by (i) providing directors and employees with incentives to improve shareholder value and to contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company; and (ii) enabling the Company to attract, retain and reward key employees.
The Plan authorizes the grant of (i) incentive stock options, or options to purchase our common stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options, as defined in section 422 of the IRC; (ii) options that do not so qualify, known as nonqualified stock options; (iii) shares of stock at no cost or at a purchase price set by the Compensation Committee, subject to restrictions and conditions determined by the Compensation Committee, referred to in this proxy statement as restricted stock; (iv) unrestricted shares of stock at prices set by the Compensation Committee, referred to in this proxy statement as unrestricted stock; (v) rights to acquire shares of our common stock upon the terms and conditions stated in the Plan, known as restricted stock units (RSUs); (vi) rights to receive cash payments based on or measured by appreciation in the market price of the Company’s common stock, referred to in this proxy statement as stock appreciation rights; (vii) rights to receive payment in shares of Company stock based on or measured by appreciation in the market price of the Company’s common stock, referred to in this proxy statement as stock settled stock appreciation rights
62
(SSARs); (viii) cash based incentive compensation and (ix) performance awards, or awards that can be in the form of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, stock appreciation rights, SSARs, cash awards and/or unrestricted stock and that are conditioned on the attainment of specified performance measures, referred to in this proxy statement as performance awards.
Shares Subject to the Plan; Limitations
The total number of shares available under the Plan will consist of 2,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, plus shares subject to any previously granted award that become available for future grant pursuant to the Plan (in all cases subject to adjustment upon certain changes in the capitalization of the Company), all of which may be awarded in the form of restricted stock, RSUs or unrestricted stock. Up to 500,000 additional shares may be issued under the Plan in substitution of outstanding grants from acquired companies. No participant may be granted awards under the Plan with respect to more than 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in any calendar year and non-employee directors may not receive awards under the Plan with a fair market value greater than $600,000 in any calendar year. Vesting of awards of restricted stock and RSUs must take a minimum of one year. Awards may also become fully vested upon a termination of employment or service following a change in control of the Company, disability, death, or retirement on or after age 65.
Eligibility
Employees and non-employee directors of the Company and its affiliates are eligible for awards under the Plan. Participation in the Plan is at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. As of September 16, 2020, approximately 23,000 employees and eight non-employee directors participated in the Plan.
Administration
The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, which also has the power to delegate responsibility. The Compensation Committee will review the individuals to whom awards will be granted and will determine the terms of each award, subject to the provisions of the Plan.
Terms of Awards
No options may extend for more than ten years from the date of grant (five years in the case of an incentive stock option recipient who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any subsidiary, referred to as greater-than-ten-percent-stockholders). The exercise price of any options granted under the Plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant (110% of fair market value in the case of incentive stock options of a greater-than-ten-percent-stockholder). The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of grant) of shares issuable pursuant to incentive stock options which first become exercisable by an employee or officer (non-employee directors are not eligible to receive incentive stock options) in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. The Company cannot reprice previously granted awards without obtaining stockholder approval. In addition, upon the granting by the Compensation Committee of stock appreciation rights or SSARs, all shares underlying the grant of stock appreciation rights or SSARs (not just those shares paid to the participant upon exercise of the stock appreciation right or SSAR) will be unavailable for further grants.
Incentive stock options are non-transferable except by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and are exercisable, during the recipient’s lifetime, only by the recipient. Awards other than incentive stock options may be transferable, with the Compensation Committee’s permission, by gift or domestic relations order to members of the recipient’s family or a trust or other entity established for such family members. Incentive stock options generally may not be exercised after (i) termination of the recipient’s employment by the Company for cause; (ii) ninety days after termination of the recipient’s employment by the Company without cause or by the recipient voluntarily, including retirement in accordance with the Company’s policy; (iii) one year following the recipient’s termination of employment with the Company by reason of disability; and (iv) two years following a recipient’s death if the recipient’s death occurs prior to termination of employment with the Company.
63
The terms and conditions of all other awards, if any, are determined by the Compensation Committee in connection with each grant.
Change in Control
In the event of a change in control (as defined in the Plan), the Compensation Committee may take one or more of the following actions or any other action that it considers appropriate and equitable to effectuate the purposes of the Plan: (i) acceleration or change of the exercise and/or expiration dates of any vested or unvested award to require that exercise be made, if at all, before the change in control; (ii) cancellation of any vested or unvested award upon payment to the holder of the fair value of the award, as determined by the Compensation Committee (which will not exceed the fair market value of the stock subject to the award at the time of cancellation, less the aggregate exercise price, if any, of the award, and if the fair market value of the stock subject to an option is below the aggregate exercise price, no value will be assigned to the award); and (iii) arrangements to have another entity continue or assume outstanding awards or replace outstanding awards with awards with respect to such entity’s equity securities. Except in the foregoing circumstances, no grant agreement under the Plan will provide for automatic vesting upon a change in control.
Amendment and Termination
The Board may amend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time without further approval of the Company’s shareholders unless such amendment would (i) increase the number of shares of stock subject to the Plan; (ii) require shareholder approval under the terms of the Plan; or (iii) require shareholder approval to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement or rule of any national securities exchange upon which the Company’s stock is listed or quoted. The Compensation Committee may make minor or administrative amendments to the Plan and amendments that may be dictated by requirements of U.S. federal or state laws applicable to the Company or that may be authorized or made desirable by such laws. Neither the Plan nor any award made thereunder may be amended in a manner that would materially adversely affect any outstanding award previously made without the approval of the participant.
New Plan Benefits
The specific amounts of benefits payable in the future to participants in the Plan are not fully determinable because the amounts of the grants of such awards have not been established. The Company generally makes an annual grant in October of each year to its eligible employees and makes an annual grant in November of each year to its non-employee directors in connection with the Annual Meeting. The following chart is based on awards in October and November 2019 to eligible employees and non-employee directors.

Federal Income Tax Information With Respect To the Plan
The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to the Plan. The discussion is for general informational purposes only and does not purport to address specific federal income tax considerations applicable to a participant based on his or her particular circumstances, nor does it address state, local or foreign income tax or other tax considerations.
Nonqualified Stock Options
A nonqualified stock option results in no taxable income to the optionee or deduction to the Company at the time of grant. An optionee exercising a non-qualified option will, at that time, realize taxable compensation in the amount of the difference between the then market value of the underlying shares of the Company’s common stock on the exercise date and the option exercise price. Subject to the applicable provisions of the IRC, a deduction for federal income tax purposes will be allowable to the Company in the year of exercise in an amount equal to the taxable compensation realized by the optionee.
The optionee’s basis in shares relating to non-qualified stock option awards is equal to the sum of the option price plus the amount includible in his or her income as compensation upon exercise. Any gain (or loss) upon subsequent disposition of the shares will be a long-term or short-term gain (or loss), depending upon the holding period of the shares.
Incentive Stock Options
An incentive stock option results in no taxable income to the optionee or deduction for the Company at the time it is granted or exercised (although the excess of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price will be included in the optionee’s alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of determining his or her alternative minimum tax). If the optionee holds the stock received as a result of an exercise of an incentive stock option for at least two years from the date of the grant and one year from the date of exercise, then the gain realized on disposition of the stock is treated as a long-term capital gain. If the shares are disposed of prior to the end of this period, however, (a “disqualifying disposition”), then all or part of the optionee’s gain will be taxed as ordinary income, and the Company will be entitled to a deduction, in the year of the disposition, for the amount includible in the optionee’s income as ordinary income. The optionee’s basis in the shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option is equal to the option price paid.
In connection with the sale of shares covered by incentive stock options, the Company is allowed a deduction for tax purposes only to the extent, and at the time, the option holder receives ordinary income (for example, by reason of the “disqualifying disposition” of shares by the holder of an incentive stock option within two years after the date of the grant or one year after the exercise of the incentive stock option), subject to certain limitations on the deductibility of compensation paid to executives.
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
No income will be recognized at the time of grant by the recipient of a restricted stock or restricted stock unit if the award is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture during the restricted period. Generally, at the time the substantial risk of forfeiture terminates with respect to the award, the then fair market value of the stock (less any amount paid for the award) will constitute ordinary income to the participant. Subject to the applicable provisions of the IRC, a deduction for federal income tax purposes will be allowable to the Company in an amount equal to the compensation realized by the participant. A participant’s basis in restricted shares or in the shares received upon settlement of restricted stock units will be equal to their fair market value when the forfeiture restrictions lapse with respect to the restricted shares and when the shares are delivered to the participant in settlement of the restricted stock units, as applicable, and the participant’s holding period for the shares will begin when the forfeiture restrictions lapse or when such shares are delivered to the participant, as applicable.
Generally, during the restricted period, dividends and distributions paid with respect to restricted shares will be treated as compensation taxable as ordinary income (not dividend income) and, subject to the applicable provisions of the
65
IRC, the Company will receive a corresponding deduction. Upon payment of any dividend equivalent amounts with respect to restricted stock units, the participant will recognize such payment as ordinary income (not dividend income) and, subject to the applicable provisions of the IRC, the Company will receive a corresponding deduction.
Stock Appreciation Rights or SSARS
A participant recognizes no taxable income, and the Company is not entitled to a deduction, when a stock appreciation right or SSAR is granted. Upon exercise of a stock appreciation right or SSAR, a participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income in an amount equal to the cash and/or the fair market value of the shares received and, subject to the applicable provisions of the IRC, the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. A participant’s basis in shares received upon the exercise of an SSAR will be equal to the fair market value of such shares on the exercise date, and the participant’s holding period for such shares will begin at that time.
Cash-based Awards
A participant generally will not recognize taxable income upon the receipt of a cash-based incentive award. The participant, however, will recognize ordinary income when the participant receives payment of cash and/or shares of common stock for the award. The amount included in the participant’s income will equal the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of the shares of common stock received. Subject to the applicable provisions of the IRC, the Company generally will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction at the time the participant recognizes ordinary income with respect to cash-based incentive awards.
Section 162(m)
Any entitlement to a tax deduction on the part of the Company or its subsidiaries is subject to the applicable tax rules, including, without limitation, Section 162(m) of the IRC. In general, Section 162(m) of the IRC denies a publicly held corporation a deduction for federal income tax purposes for compensation in excess of $1 million per year per person to its “covered employees.” “Covered employees” for this purpose include the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and the three next highest paid executive officers (other than the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer), and any other individual who was a covered employee for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2016.
Section 409A
Section 409A of the IRC restricts the ability to defer compensation to future tax years. Any award that provides for the deferral of compensation, such as restricted stock units and performance awards that are settled more than two and one-half months after the end of the year in which they vest, must comply with Section 409A of the IRC. If the requirements of Section 409A of the IRC are not met, all amounts deferred under the Plan during the taxable year and all prior taxable years (to the extent not already included in gross income) will be included in the participant's taxable income in the later of the year in which such violation occurs or the year in which such amounts are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, even if such amounts have not been actually received. In addition, such violation will result in an additional tax to the participant of 20% of the deferred amount plus applicable interest computed from the date the award was earned, or if later, the date on which it vested.
Because the amount of ordinary income the participant recognizes with respect to the receipt, vesting, settlement or exercise of an award may be treated as compensation that is subject to applicable withholding of federal, state and local income taxes and employment taxes, the Company may require the participant to pay the amount required to be withheld by the Company before delivering to the participant any shares or other payment to be received under the Plan. Arrangements for payment may include deducting the amount of any withholding or other tax due from the award itself or from other compensation, including salary or bonus, otherwise payable to the participant.
66
A majority of the votes properly cast on this matter (meaning the number of shares voted “for” this matter must exceed the number of shares voted “against” this matter) is necessary for the matter to be approved. Broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast. Under current NYSE interpretations, abstentions will be counted as votes cast and thus an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the proposal.
A vote to amend the Plan is deemed a non-routine matter under NYSE rules and a beneficial owner’s nominee will not be able to vote on this matter without instructions. We encourage all beneficial owners to provide voting instructions to such parties to ensure that their shares are voted at the Annual Meeting.
CACI Recommendation
The Board recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the amendment of the Plan authorizing an additional 1,200,000 shares for issuance under the Plan.
67
Proposal 4Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Ernst & Young LLP currently serves as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and that firm conducted the audit of the Company’s accounts for fiscal year 2020. The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to conduct an audit of the Company’s accounts for fiscal year 2021.
Selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required to be submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Company for ratification. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires the Audit Committee to be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the audit work of the independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Board of Directors is submitting this matter to the shareholders as a matter of good corporate practice.
Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Required Vote
A majority of the votes properly cast on this matter (meaning the number of shares voted “for” this matter must exceed the number of shares voted “against” this matter) is necessary for the matter to be approved. Because this is a “routine matter” under NYSE rules, a beneficial owner’s nominee, such as a broker, may vote on the ratification of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm without instruction from their beneficial owners. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose and will have no effect on the vote for this proposal. If the shareholders fail to vote in favor of the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain Ernst & Young LLP and may retain that firm or another without re-submitting the matter to the Company’s shareholders. Even if shareholders vote in favor of the appointment, on an advisory basis, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and the shareholders.
CACI Recommendation
The Board recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2021.

69
ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION
Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan; and “FOR” the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2021.
Shareholders Entitled to Vote
All shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 16, 2020 may vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting.
As of the Record Date, there were 25,099,153 shares of common stock outstanding. A complete list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available at the Company’s headquarters for examination from October 26, 2020 through November 11, 2020 for any purpose related to the Annual Meeting and will also be available electronically during the Annual Meeting.
Shareholder of Record or Beneficial Owner
If your shares are registered directly with Computershare, N.A., our transfer agent, then you are the “shareholder of record” of the shares. If your shares are held in an account at a broker, bank, trust or other similar organization, then you are a “beneficial owner” of the shares. Most of our shareholders are beneficial owners of their shares.
There are several distinctions in how shareholders receive information and vote their shares that you should be aware of and we have described such differences in the proxy materials.
Voting at the Annual Meeting
Shareholders of record can vote at the Annual Meeting by attending the virtual meeting using the control number located on your proxy card or the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials and submitting an electronic ballot. Beneficial owners must obtain a legal proxy from the organization that holds their shares prior to voting at the Annual Meeting.
Via the Internet. You may submit a proxy or voting instructions over the Internet by going to www.proxyvote.com.
By Telephone. You may submit a proxy or voting instructions by telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903 and following the instructions.
By Mail. If you received your proxy materials by mail, you may vote by proxy by filling out the proxy card or voting instruction form and sending it back in the envelope provided.
Note that shares represented by properly signed and returned proxies will be voted in accordance with their instructions. In the absence of any instructions, properly signed and returned proxies will be voted in accordance with management’s recommendations.
Changing your Vote
You may change your vote at any time prior to the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting by:
|
• |
submitting a new proxy or voting instructions with a later date; |
70
ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION
|
• |
providing a written notice of revocation to the Company’s Secretary, if you are a registered shareholder; or |
|
• |
attending the Annual Meeting and voting in accordance with the voting procedures outlined above. |
Note that beneficial owners must follow their nominee’s instructions to revoke their proxies or vote at the Annual Meeting and, for both shareholders of record and beneficial owners, attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request or vote online at the Annual Meeting.
Vote Standard
In order to pass, each proposal must receive a majority of votes properly cast on that proposal. Under current NYSE interpretations, broker non-votes will not count as votes cast or as expressing any preference and abstentions will not count as votes cast for the election of directors or Proposals 2 and 4. Brokers and other nominees are permitted under NYSE rules to vote on Proposal 4 without obtaining instructions from their beneficial owners. However, they are not permitted to vote without instruction regarding the election of directors or Proposals 2 and 3.
Quorum
The presence by means of remote communication or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Both abstentions and broker non-votes (described below) are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.
Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions
Broker non-votes occur when a broker is not permitted to vote on a matter because a beneficial owner has not provided instructions. These matters are referred to as “non-routine” matters. All of the matters scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting are “non-routine,” except for the proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year 2021. In tabulating the voting result for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered voting power present or votes cast with respect to that proposal. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any matter being voted on at the Annual Meeting.
Abstentions are considered voting power present at the Annual Meeting but are not considered votes cast with respect to the election of directors or Proposals 2 and 4 and thus will not affect the outcome of those matters at the Annual Meeting. Under current NYSE interpretations, abstentions will be counted as votes cast for Proposal 3 and thus an abstention will have the effect of a vote against Proposal 3.
Additional Matters
We are not aware of any other business to be presented at the Annual Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting. If, for any reason, any of the nominees is not available as a candidate for director, the persons named as proxy holders will vote your proxy for such other candidate or candidates as may be nominated by the Board.
71
ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have determined that we will hold the Annual Meeting in a virtual only format, with no physical in-person meeting.
You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CACI2020. To participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the control number located on your proxy card or the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. The Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on November 12, 2020. We encourage you to access the virtual meeting website prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin at 9:15 a.m. Eastern Time, and you should allow ample time to ensure your ability to access the meeting. You may submit a question at any time during the meeting.
Voting Results
We expect to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and publish final voting results on the Investors section of our website at www.caci.com. We also expect to disclose the final voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days of the Annual Meeting.
Householding
We have adopted a procedure, approved by the SEC, called “householding.” Under this procedure, we deliver a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials to multiple shareholders at the same address, unless we have previously received contrary instructions from one or more shareholders. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of any of these materials to a shareholder upon written or oral request to: CACI International Inc, 1100 North Glebe Road, Arlington, Virginia 22201, Attn: J. William Koegel, Jr., Corporate Secretary, telephone 703-841-7800. Shareholders can request separate delivery for future meetings in the same manner. Shareholders at the same address who are receiving multiple copies of our proxy materials may contact us using either of these methods to request delivery of a single copy.
Shareholders who hold shares in street name (as described above) may contact their bank, broker or other nominee record holder to request information about householding.
Solicitation
We will bear the costs of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting and have retained Morrow Sodali, LLC to assist in soliciting proxies at a fee not to exceed $8,500, plus expenses. We may also reimburse banks, brokers, nominees, and other fiduciaries for postage and reasonable clerical expenses incurred by them in forwarding the proxy materials to beneficial holders. Proxies may also be solicited without extra compensation by certain officers, directors and other employees of the Company, by telephone, e-mail, facsimile, personal contact, or by other means.
Shareholder Proposals for the 2021 Annual Meeting
Proposals for the 2021 Proxy Statement: Shareholders may present proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at the 2021 Annual Meeting by submitting their proposals in writing to the Company’s Secretary in a timely manner.

If we hold the 2021 Annual Meeting more than 30 days before or after November 12, 2021, we will disclose the new deadline by which shareholder proposals must be received. In addition, shareholder proposals must also comply with all requirements and regulations of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

For a shareholder proposal to be considered timely, the Company’s Secretary must receive the written proposal by no later than June 15, 2021.
Nominations of Director Candidates: Shareholders may propose Board nominees for consideration by our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Any such recommendations should include the nominee’s name and qualifications for membership on our Board and should be directed to the Company’s Secretary. In addition, shareholders may also nominate directors for election at the 2021 Annual Meeting by giving timely notice under our By-laws, which require notice within the same period as shareholder proposals that are not intended for inclusion in our proxy statement.

(b)Rules of Interpretation. Any reference to “Section,” without more, is to a Section of this Plan. Captions and titles are used for convenience in this Plan and shall not, by themselves, determine the meaning of this Plan. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular includes the plural and vice versa. Any reference to a statute is also a reference to the applicable rules and regulations adopted under that statute.

(a)Authority. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have all the powers vested in it by the terms of the Plan, such powers to include authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to grant Awards under the Plan, prescribe Grant Agreements evidencing such Awards and establish programs for granting Awards. The Committee shall have full power and authority to take all other actions necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the authority to:
|
i. |
determine the Participants to whom, and the time or times at which, Awards shall be granted, |

|
iii. |

iv. |
impose such terms, limitations, vesting schedules, restrictions and conditions upon any such Award as the Committee shall deem appropriate, including without limitation establishing, in its discretion, Performance Measures that must be satisfied before an Award vests and/or becomes payable, the term during which an Award is exercisable, the purchase price, if any, under an Award and the period, if any, following a Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate during which the Award shall remain exercisable, |
|
v. |
subject to the provisions of Section 409A, modify, extend or renew outstanding Awards, accept the surrender of outstanding Awards and substitute new Awards, provided that no such action shall be taken with respect to any outstanding Award that would materially, adversely affect the Participant without the Participant’s consent, or constitute a Repricing of an Option without the approval of the holders of the Company’s voting securities, |
|
vi. |
establish sub-plans (which may be included as appendices to the Plan or the respective Grant Agreements), which may constitute separate programs, for the purpose of establishing programs which meet any special tax or regulatory requirements of jurisdictions other than the United States and its subdivisions, |
A-5
APPENDIX A
|
vii. |
to the extent permitted by applicable law, delegate certain of the Committee’s duties and powers hereunder to the Chief Executive Officer and/or to other senior officers of the Company, |
|
viii. |
subject to the provisions of Section 4(c) and to the provisions of Section 409A, accelerate the time in which an Award may be exercised or in which an Award becomes payable and waive or accelerate the lapse, in whole or in part, of any restriction or condition with respect to an Award, and |
|
ix. |
establish objectives and conditions, including targets for Performance Measures, if any, for earning Awards and determining whether Awards will be paid after the end of a Performance Period. |
The Committee shall have full power and authority to administer, interpret, reconcile any inconsistency, correct any defect and/or supply any omission in the Plan or any Award or make any other determination and take any other action that it determines in its sole discretion to be necessary for the administration of this Plan or any Award and to adopt such rules, regulations, agreements, guidelines and instruments for the administration of the Plan as the Committee deems necessary, desirable or appropriate in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company.
(b)Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no member of the Board or Committee or a Committee Delegate shall be liable for any action taken or decision made in good faith relating to the Plan or any Award thereunder and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Board, each member of the Committee and any Committee Delegate against any liability, obligation, cost or expense incurred by that person arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan or any Award if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company. Such indemnification shall be in accordance with the procedures and terms and conditions set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company as in effect from time to time. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise.
(c)Effect of Committee’s Decision. All actions taken and decisions and determinations made by the Committee or a Committee Delegate on all matters relating to the Plan pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder shall be in the Committee’s or Committee Delegate’s sole and absolute discretion and shall be conclusive and binding on all parties concerned, including the Company, its stockholders, any Participants in the Plan and any other employee of the Company, and their respective successors in interest.
(a)Stock Available Under the Plan. Subject to adjustments as provided in Section 14 of the Plan, the Stock that may be delivered or purchased with respect to Awards granted under the Plan on or after the Effective Date, including with respect to Incentive Stock Options, shall not exceed an aggregate of one million two hundred thousand (1,200,000) two million four hundred thousand (2,400,000) shares of Stock, plus shares of Stock subject to any previously issued awards to the extent any such award, or portion of an award becomes available for future grants pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Plan. The Company shall reserve said number of shares of Stock for Awards under the Plan, subject to adjustments as provided in Section 14 of the Plan.
(b)Shares Available for Future Grants. If any Award, or portion of an Award, issued under the Plan expires, terminates unexercised, becomes unexercisable, is forfeited, terminated, surrendered or canceled without the delivery by the Company (or, in the case of Restricted Stock, without vesting) of Stock or other consideration or settled in cash, the Stock subject to such Award shall thereafter be available for further Awards under the Plan. In the case of a Stock Appreciation Right, the difference between the number of shares of Stock covered by the exercised portion of the SAR and the number of shares of Stock actually delivered upon exercise shall not be restored or available for future issuance under the Plan.
A-6
APPENDIX A
(c)Source of Stock. Stock available under the Plan may be, in any combination, (i) authorized but unissued shares of Stock, (ii) shares of Stock that are reacquired by the Company and held as treasury shares, and/or (iii) shares of Stock purchased on the open market by a broker designated by the Company and, subject to the requirements of Section 21, immediately thereafter issued for the benefit of a Participant under the Plan. It is intended that a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall be effective with respect to the shares of Stock issued under the Plan.
(d)Maximum Awards. The maximum number of shares of Stock subject to Awards that may be granted during any one calendar year to any Participant shall be limited to three hundred thousand (300,000). To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code and so long as Section 162(m) of the Code is applicable to persons eligible to participate in the Plan, shares of Stock subject to the foregoing maximum with respect to which the related Award is terminated, surrendered or canceled shall nonetheless continue to be taken into account with respect to such maximum for the calendar year in which granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Non-Employee Directors may not be granted Awards during any one calendar year that would exceed a Fair Market Value of six hundred thousand dollars ($600,000).
(e)Limitation on Full Value Awards. In no event shall the Committee on or after the Effective Date grant Stock Awards of more than one million two hundred thousand (1,200,000) shares of Stock under the Plan. Shares of Stock subject to a Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award which are forfeited by and/or not issued to the Participant as a result of full or partial forfeiture of the Award shall not count towards the limit in the preceding sentence.
(f)Substitute Awards. The Committee may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for stock and stock based awards held by employees of another corporation who concurrently become employees of the Company or an Affiliate as the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate or the acquisition by the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of property or stock of the employing corporation. The Committee may direct that the substitute awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in the circumstances. Shares which may be delivered under such substitute awards may be in addition to the maximum number of shares provided for in Section 4(a) and 4(c), provided that said additional shares shall not exceed five hundred thousand (500,000) in the aggregate over the term of the Plan.
5. |
Participation |
Participation in the Plan shall be open to all Employees and Non-Employee Directors as may be selected by the Committee from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, participation in the Plan with respect to Awards of Incentive Stock Options shall be limited to Employees.
Awards may be granted to such Participants and for or with respect to such number of shares of Stock as the Committee shall determine, subject to the limitations in Section 4 of the Plan. A grant of any type of Award made in any one year to a Participant shall neither guarantee nor preclude a further grant of that or any other type of Award to such person in that year or subsequent years.
Subject to the other applicable provisions of the Plan, Awards of Options shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a)Grant of Option. The grant of an Option shall be evidenced by a Grant Agreement, executed by the Company and the Participant, stating the number of shares of Stock subject to the Option evidenced thereby, the exercise price and the terms and conditions of such Option, in such form as the Committee may from time to time determine.
A-7
APPENDIX A
(b)Exercise Price. The price per share payable upon the exercise of each Option shall be determined by the Committee but shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Grant Date.
(c)Payment. Options may be exercised in whole or in part by payment of the exercise price of the Stock to be acquired in accordance with the provisions of the Grant Agreement, and/or such rules and regulations as the Committee may have prescribed, and/or such determinations, orders, or decisions as the Committee may have made.
Payment may be made in cash (or cash equivalents acceptable to the Committee) or, if provided in the Grant Agreement and permitted by applicable law, in shares of Stock which have been held by Participant or which would otherwise be issuable to Participant on exercise, or a combination of cash and such Stock, or by such other means as the Committee may prescribe. The Fair Market Value of Stock delivered on exercise of Options shall be determined as of the date of exercise.
The Committee, subject to such limitations as it may determine, may authorize payment of the exercise price, in whole or in part, by delivery of a properly executed exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions, to: (i) a brokerage firm to deliver promptly to the Company the aggregate amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the exercise price and any withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise, and (ii) the Company to deliver the certificates for such purchased Stock directly to such brokerage firm.
(d)Term of Options. The term during which each stock option may be exercised shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that in no event shall a stock option be exercisable more than ten (10) years from the date it is granted. Prior to the exercise of the stock option and delivery of the Stock certificates represented thereby, the Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any Stock represented by an outstanding stock option.
(e)Restrictions on Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Option Awards granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with Section 422 of the Code and, as such, shall meet the following additional requirements:
|
i. |
Grant Date. An Incentive Stock Option must be granted within ten (10) years of the earlier of the Plan’s adoption by the Board of Directors or approval by the Company’s stockholders. |
|
ii. |
Exercise Price and Term. The exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the stock option is granted and the term of the stock option shall not exceed ten (10) years. Also, the exercise price of any Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who owns (within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code, after the application of the attribution rules in Section 424(d) of the Code) more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of Stock of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the grant date and the term of such stock option shall not exceed five (5) years. |
|
iii. |
Maximum Grant. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date) of Stock of the Company with respect to which all Incentive Stock Options first become exercisable by any Participant in any calendar year under this or any other plan of the Company and any Subsidiaries may not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) or such other amount as may be permitted from time to time under Section 422 of the Code. To the extent that such aggregate Fair Market Value shall exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), or other applicable amount, such stock options to the extent of the Stock in excess of such limit shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. In such case, the Company may designate the shares of Stock that are to be treated as Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. |
|
iv. |
Participant. Incentive Stock Options shall only be issued to Employees. |
A-8
APPENDIX A
|
v. |
Designation. No Option shall be an Incentive Stock Option unless so designated by the Committee at the time of grant or in the Grant Agreement evidencing such Option. |
|
vi. |
Stockholder Approval. No Option issued under the Plan shall be an Incentive Stock Option unless the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months of its adoption by the Board in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company and governing law relating to such matters. |
(f)Other Terms and Conditions. Options may contain such other provisions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine appropriate from time to time.
(a)In General. Subject to the other applicable provisions of the Plan and applicable law, the Committee may at any time and from time to time grant Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units to Participants, in such amounts and subject to such vesting conditions, other restrictions and conditions for the lapse of restrictions as it determines. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee, Participants receiving Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units are not required to pay the Company cash consideration therefor (except as may be required for applicable tax withholding).
(b)Vesting Conditions and Other Restrictions. Each Award for Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by a Grant Agreement that specifies the applicable vesting conditions and other restrictions, if any, on such Award, the duration of such restrictions, and the time or times at which such restrictions shall lapse with respect to all or a specified number of the shares of Stock that are part of the Award. With respect to Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units, the vesting schedule must be, at a minimum one year. Notwithstanding the forgoing limitation, such Award may provide for full vesting upon death, Disability, retirement (on or after age 65) or a termination of employment or service following a Change in Control.
(c)Stock Issuance and Stockholder Rights.
|
i. |
Restricted Stock. Stock certificates with respect to Stock granted pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award shall be issued, and/or Stock shall be registered, in the Participant’s name at the time of grant of the Restricted Stock Award, subject to forfeiture if the Restricted Stock does not vest or other restrictions do not lapse. Any Stock certificates shall bear an appropriate legend with respect to the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock Award and the Participant will be required to deposit the certificates with the Company during the period of any restriction thereon and to execute a blank stock power or other instrument of transfer therefor. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, during the period of restriction following issuance of Restricted Stock certificates, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a holder of Stock, including but not limited to the rights to receive dividends (or amounts equivalent to dividends) and to vote with respect to the Restricted Stock. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Grant Agreement that any dividends or distributions paid with respect to Stock subject to the unvested portion of a Restricted Stock Award will be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock to which such dividends or distributions relate. |
A-9
APPENDIX A
|
particular Award (and set forth in the Grant Agreement), each outstanding Restricted Stock Unit that is entitled to receive amounts equivalent to dividends and distributions paid with respect to Stock subject to the Award while the Award is outstanding shall accrue such dividend and distribution equivalents, deferred as equivalent amounts of additional Restricted Stock Units, and such amounts shall be paid only when and if the Restricted Stock Unit (on which such dividend and distribution equivalents were accrued) vests and becomes payable. If the Committee determines to provide for the current payment of dividend equivalents and distributions with respect to Stock subject to the Award, the terms and conditions of such payment shall be set forth in the Grant Agreement and shall be structured in compliance with Section 409A. To the extent that a Restricted Stock Unit does not vest or is otherwise forfeited, any accrued and unpaid dividend and distribution equivalents shall be forfeited. Unless a Participant has elected to defer amounts payable or distributable with respect to the Award pursuant to Section 7(e), amounts payable or distributable (including dividend and distribution equivalents that are payable with respect to such Restricted Stock Units) shall be made or distributed within thirty (30) days after the Participant’s rights to such payments vest. In the event the Award provides for partial vesting over multiple years, amounts payable or distributable with respect to the Award (including dividend and distribution equivalents that are payable with respect to such Restricted Stock Units) shall be made or distributed within thirty (30) days after vesting occurs. |
(d)Restricted Stock Units Granted to Non-Employee Directors.
|
i. |
Grant of Restricted Stock Units. |
|
1. |
Each Non-Employee Director upon his or her initial election to the Board by the stockholders of the Company shall automatically be granted an Award of Restricted Stock Units in an amount established from time to time by the Committee. Such award shall be made within thirty-one (31) days after the date of the annual meeting at which such election occurs and the amount of the RSUs granted to the Non-Employee Director shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock as of such date. |
|
2. |
Upon subsequent election to the Board by the stockholders of the Company, each Non-Employee Director shall automatically be granted an Award of Restricted Stock Units in an amount established from time to time by the Committee. Such award shall be made on the date of the annual meeting at which such election occurs and the amount of the RSUs granted to the Non-Employee Director shall be based on the Fair market Value of the Stock as of such date. |
|
3. |
The Company shall grant Restricted Stock Units to each Non-Employee Director in whole Units. No fractional RSU will be granted. Instead, the amount of RSUs granted to the Non-Employee Director will be rounded up to the next whole number. |
|
ii. |
Acceleration. Each Award granted pursuant to this Section 7(d) shall include a provision accelerating the vesting of each Restricted Stock Unit included in the Award in the event of death, disability (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(C)) or a Change of Control of the Company. |
|
iii. |
Limited to Non-Employee Directors. The provisions of this Section 7(d) shall apply only to Awards of Restricted Stock Units granted or to be granted to Non-Employee Directors, and shall not be deemed to modify, limit or otherwise apply to any other provision of this Plan or to any Restricted Stock Unit issued under this Plan to a Participant who is not a Non-Employee Director of the Company. To the extent and consistent with the provisions of any other Section of this Plan, the provisions of this Section 7(d) shall govern the rights and obligations of the Company and Non-Employee Directors respecting Restricted Stock Units granted or to be granted to Non-Employee Directors under this Plan. |
A-10
APPENDIX A
|
ii. |
The election by a Participant to defer amounts payable or distributable with respect to Restricted Stock Units shall be made in compliance with the provisions of Section 409A and in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the Award. |
(a)Award of Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the other applicable provisions of the Plan, the Committee may at any time and from time to time grant Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) to Participants, either on a free-standing basis (without regard to or in addition to the grant of a stock option) or on a tandem basis (related to the grant of an underlying stock option), as it determines. SARs granted in tandem with or in addition to a stock option may be granted at the same time as the stock option; provided, however, that a tandem SAR shall not be granted with respect to any outstanding Incentive Stock Option Award without the consent of the Participant. SARs shall be evidenced by Grant Agreements, executed by the Company and the Participant, stating the number of shares of Stock subject to the SAR evidenced thereby and the terms and conditions of such SAR, in such form as the Committee may from time to time determine. The term during which each SAR may be exercised shall be determined by the Committee. In no event shall a SAR be exercisable more than ten (10) years from the date it is granted. The Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any Stock represented by a SAR prior to exercise of the SAR.
(b)Restrictions of Tandem SARs. No Incentive Stock Option may be surrendered in connection with the exercise of a tandem SAR unless the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to the Incentive Stock Option is greater than the exercise price for such Incentive Stock Option. SARs granted in tandem with stock options shall be exercisable only to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as the stock options related thereto are exercisable. The Committee may, in its discretion, prescribe additional conditions to the exercise of any such tandem SAR.
(c)Amount of Payment upon Exercise of SARs. A SAR shall entitle the Participant to receive, subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Grant Agreement, a payment having an aggregate value equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the exercise date over (B) the base price per share of Stock specified in the Grant Agreement, times (ii) the number of shares of Stock specified by the SAR, or portion thereof, that is exercised. The base price per share specified in the Grant Agreement shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date. In the case of exercise of a tandem SAR, such payment shall be made in exchange for the surrender of the unexercised related stock option (or any portion or portions thereof which the Participant from time to time determines to surrender for this purpose).
(d)Form of Payment upon Exercise of SARs. Payment by the Company of the amount receivable upon any exercise of a SAR shall be made by the delivery of the number of whole shares of Stock determined by dividing the amount payable under the SAR by the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the exercise date. The amount equivalent in value to any fractional share will be paid out currently in cash.
A-11
APPENDIX A
(a)Grant or Sale of Unrestricted Stock. Subject to the limitations contained in Section 4, the Committee in its discretion may grant or sell to any Participant shares of Stock free of any restrictions under the Plan (“Unrestricted Stock”) at a purchase price determined by the Committee. Shares of Unrestricted Stock may be granted or sold as described in the preceding sentence in respect of past services or other valid consideration.
(b)Restrictions on Transfers. The right to receive Unrestricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
(a)In General. The Committee, in its discretion, may establish targets for Performance Measures for selected Participants and authorize the granting, vesting, payment and/or delivery of Performance Awards to such Participants upon achievement of such targets for Performance Measures during a Performance Period. The Committee, in its discretion, shall determine the Participants eligible for Performance Awards, the targets for Performance Measures to be achieved during each Performance Period, and the type, amount, and terms and conditions of any Performance Awards. Performance Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to other Awards made under the Plan.
(b)Covered Employee Targets. In connection with any Performance Awards granted to a Covered Employee which are intended to meet the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall (i) establish in the applicable Grant Agreement the specific targets relative to the Performance Measures which must be attained before the respective Performance Award is granted, vests, or is otherwise paid or delivered, (ii) provide in the applicable Grant Agreement the method for computing the portion of the Performance Award which shall be granted, vested, paid and/or delivered if the target or targets are attained in full or part, and (iii) at the end of the relevant Performance Period and prior to any such grant, vesting, payment or delivery certify the extent to which the applicable target or targets were achieved and whether any other material terms were in fact satisfied. The specific targets and the method for computing the portion of such Performance Award which shall be granted, vested, paid or delivered to any Covered Employee shall be established by the Committee prior to the earlier to occur of (A) ninety (90) days after the commencement of the Performance Period to which the Performance Measure applies and (B) the elapse of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance Period and in any event while the outcome is substantially uncertain. In interpreting Plan provisions applicable to Performance Measures and Performance Awards which are intended to meet the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code, it is the intent of the Plan to conform with the standards of Section 162(m) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.162-27(e)(2), and the Committee in interpreting the Plan shall be guided by such provisions.
(c)Nonexclusive Provision. Notwithstanding this Section 11, the Committee may authorize the granting, vesting, payment and/or delivery of Performance Awards based on performance measures other than the Performance Measures and performance periods other than the Performance Periods to employees who are not Covered Employees or to Covered Employees to the extent such Awards are not intended to meet the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code and in such case waive the deadlines for establishing performance measures under Subsection (b) above.
11. |
Cash Awards |
Cash Awards may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan. The terms, conditions and limitations applicable to a Cash Award, including, but not limited to, vesting or other restrictions, shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that any Cash Award, or portion thereof, that would cause the total compensation paid to a Participant who is a Covered Employee in a given taxable year to exceed $1,000,000 shall be made as a Performance Award, in accordance with Section 10 hereof.
A-12
APPENDIX A
(a)Payment by Participant. Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amounts received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the Participant for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of any Federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such income. The Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant.
(b)Payment in Shares. The Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any applicable taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant and withhold, at the time of delivery or exercise of any Award or vesting of shared under such Awards, an appropriate number of shares for payment of taxes required by law or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding of such taxes. If shares are used to satisfy such withholding, such stock shall be valued based on the Fair Market Value when the tax withholding is required to be made.
(c)Notice of Disqualifying Disposition. Each holder of an Incentive Stock Option shall agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after making a disqualifying disposition (as defined in Section 421(b) of the Code) of any Stock purchased upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.
No Option, SAR or other unvested Award granted under the Plan shall be transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, an Option or SAR may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant or, during the period the Participant is under a legal disability, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the Committee’s permission expressed in the Grant Agreement or otherwise, any Award other than an Incentive Stock Option may, in the Committee’s sole discretion, be transferable by gift or domestic relations order to (i) the Participant’s child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships (such persons, “Family Members”), (ii) a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity whose only stockholders, partners or members, as applicable are the Participant and/or Family Members, or (iii) a trust in which the Participant and/or Family Members have all of the beneficial interests, and subsequent to any such transfer any Award may be exercised by any such transferee.
(a)Adjustments. In the event of a reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or other similar event, the maximum number and kind of shares reserved for issuance or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan as provided in Section 4 shall be adjusted to reflect such event, and the Committee shall make such adjustments as it deems appropriate and equitable in the number, kind and price of shares covered by outstanding Awards made under the Plan, and in any other matters that relate to Awards and that are affected by the changes in the shares referred to above.
(b)Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the Committee shall take such action as it deems appropriate and equitable to effectuate the purposes of this Plan, which action may include, without limitation, any one or more of the following to the extent permitted by Section 409A and subject to the limitations of Section 4(c): (i) acceleration or change of the exercise and/or expiration dates of any vested or non-vested Award to require that exercise be made, if at all, prior to the Change in Control; (ii) the cancellation of any vested or non-vested Award upon payment to the holder of the fair
A-13
APPENDIX A
value of the Award, as determined by the Committee (which shall not exceed the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to such Award as of the date of cancellation, less the aggregate exercise price, if any, of the Award and in the event the Fair Market Value of an Option is below the aggregate exercise price, the Committee shall assign no value to the Award); and (iii) in any case where equity securities of another entity are delivered in exchange for or with respect to Stock of the Company, arrangements to have such other entity continue or assume such Awards or replace the Awards granted hereunder with awards with respect to such other securities, with appropriate adjustments in the number of shares subject to, and the exercise prices under, the Award.
Except as provided above, no Grant Agreement shall be issued that will provide for automatic vesting upon a Change in Control, other than, in the discretion of the Committee, accelerated vesting in the event of a termination of employment following a Change in Control under such circumstances as the Committee deems appropriate.
(c)Dissolution and Liquidation. In the event the Company dissolves and liquidates (other than pursuant to a plan of merger or reorganization), then, to the extent permitted under Section 409A, each Participant shall have the right to exercise his or her vested, outstanding stock options and Stock Appreciation Rights and to require delivery of Stock certificates, and/or registration in Participant’s name of the Stock, under any vested, outstanding Restricted Stock Unit Awards, at any time up to the effective date of such liquidation and dissolution, upon which date all Awards under the Plan shall terminate.
(d)Other Adjustments. The Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 14) affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.
Except as hereinbefore expressly provided, issuance by the Company of stock of any class or securities convertible into stock of any class, for cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warranty to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of stock or obligations of the Company convertible into such stock or other securities, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to Awards theretofore granted or the purchase price per share of Stock subject to Awards.
(a)Amendment or Termination by the Board. The Board, without further approval of the stockholders, may amend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time, except that no amendment shall become effective without prior approval of the stockholders of the Company to increase the number of shares of Stock subject to the Plan or if stockholder approval is required under the terms of the Plan or is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement or rule of any exchange or national automated quotation system upon which the Stock is listed or quoted (including for this purpose stockholder approval that is required for continued compliance with Rule 16b-3 or stockholder approval that is required to enable the Committee to grant Incentive Stock Options pursuant to the Plan).
(b)Amendments by the Committee. The Committee shall be authorized to make minor or administrative amendments to the Plan as well as amendments to the Plan that may be dictated by requirements of U.S. federal or state laws applicable to the Company or that may be authorized or made desirable by such laws. The Committee may amend any outstanding Award in any manner as provided in Section 3 and to the extent that the Committee would have had the authority to make such Award as so amended.
A-14
APPENDIX A
(c)Approval of Participants. No amendment to the Plan or any Award may be made that would materially adversely affect any outstanding Award previously made under the Plan without the approval of the Participant.
Nothing in the Plan or in any Grant Agreement thereunder shall confer any right on an employee to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate an employee at any time.
For purposes of maintaining a Participant’s continuous status as an employee and accrual of rights under any Award, transfer of an employee among the Company and its Affiliates shall not be considered a termination of employment. Nor shall it be considered a termination of employment for such purposes if an employee is placed on military or sick leave or such other leave of absence that is considered as continuing intact the employment relationship; in such a case, the employment relationship shall be continued until the date when an employee’s right to reemployment shall no longer be guaranteed either by law or contract.
Each Grant Agreement entered into between the Company and a Participant with respect to an Award granted under the Plan shall incorporate the terms of this Plan and shall contain such provisions, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be established by the Committee.
The Committee’s determinations under the Plan (including without limitation determinations of the persons to receive Awards, the form, amount and time of such Awards, the terms and provisions of such Awards and the agreements evidencing same) need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated.

Limitation on Benefits |
With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.
Any Stock certificates for shares issued pursuant to this Plan may bear a legend restricting transferability of the Stock unless such shares are registered or an exemption from registration is available under the Securities Act and applicable securities laws of the states of the U.S. The Company may notify its transfer agent to stop any transfer of Stock not made in compliance with these restrictions. Stock shall not be issued with respect to an Award granted under the Plan unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of Stock certificates for such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the requirements of any national securities exchange or Nasdaq System upon which the Stock may then be listed or quoted, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance to the extent such approval is sought by the Committee.
22. |
No Trust or Fund Created |
Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other person. With respect to any transfer or payment not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, the obligation of the Company shall be interpreted solely as an unfunded contractual
A-15
APPENDIX A
obligation to make such transfer or payment in the manner and under the conditions prescribed under the written instrument evidencing the Award. Any shares of Stock or other assets set aside with respect to an Award shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors, and no person other than the Company shall, by virtue of an Award, have any interest in such shares or assets. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder, provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the provisions of this Section. In no event shall any assets set aside (directly or indirectly) with respect to an Award be located or transferred outside the United States.
23. |
No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements |
Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other compensation arrangements (whether such arrangements be generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases), including without limitation the granting of Awards otherwise than under the Plan.
24. |
No Restriction of Corporate Action |
Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to limit or impair the power of the Company or any Affiliate to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes in its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets or, except as otherwise provided herein, or in a Grant Agreement, to take other actions which it deems to be necessary or appropriate. No employee, beneficiary or other person shall have any claim against the Company or any Affiliate as a result of such action.
25. |
Notice |
Any notice to the Company required by any of the provisions of the Plan shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company, and shall become effective when it is received by the Secretary of the Company.
26. |
Section 409A Compliance |
The Plan is generally intended to constitute an equity compensation plan that does not provide for the deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A and, if any provision of the Plan is subject to more than one interpretation or construction, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of that interpretation or construction which is consistent with the Plan not being subject to the provisions of Section 409A. To the extent any Awards under the Plan are subject to Section 409A, then no amount of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A ) payable to an Employee or Non-Employee Director shall be paid earlier than the earliest date permitted under Section 409A, and all deferral elections shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A. To the extent that an Award is subject to the provisions of Section 409A, the provisions of the Plan relating to such Awards, including all deferral elections and distributions thereunder, are intended to comply with the provisions of Section 409A and if any such provision is subject to more than one interpretation or construction, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of the interpretation or construction which is consistent with the Plan complying with the provisions of Section 409A. In no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on a Participant under Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Plan or any Grant Agreement, any payment(s) of nonqualified deferred compensation that are otherwise required to be made under the Plan to a Specified Employee as a result of his or her Separation from Service (other than a payment that is not subject to Section 409A) shall be delayed and paid on the first day of the seventh month following the date of Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Specified Employee). Any remaining payments of nonqualified deferred compensation shall be paid without delay and at the time or times such payments are otherwise scheduled to be made. A termination of employment or service shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of the Plan or any Grant Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits that are considered nonqualified deferred compensation upon or following a termination of employment or service, unless such termination is also a Separation from Service.
The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, of Grant Agreements entered into pursuant to the Plan, and of any rules, regulations, determinations or decisions made by the Board or Committee relating to the Plan or such Grant Agreements, and the rights of any and all persons having or claiming to have any interest therein or thereunder, shall be determined in accordance with applicable federal laws and the laws of the State of Delaware.
