FAIRFAX, VA 22033

 

PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2003

 

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of SRA International, Inc. (the “Company”) for use at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Wednesday, November 12, 2003 (the “Annual Meeting”) and at any adjournment of that meeting. All executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the stockholder’s instructions, and if no choice is specified, executed proxies will be voted in favor of the matters set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. Any proxy may be revoked by a stockholder at any time before its exercise by delivery of written revocation or a subsequently dated proxy to the Secretary of the Company or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

 

On September 24, 2003, the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”), there were outstanding and entitled to vote an aggregate of 17,000,558 shares of class A common stock, $0.004 par value per share (“Class A Common Stock”), of the Company and 8,346,029 shares of class B common stock, $0.004 par value per share (“Class B Common Stock,” and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), of the Company (constituting all of the voting stock of the Company). Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of Class A Common Stock and holders of Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to the stockholders for their vote or approval, except as may otherwise be required by Delaware law.

 

The Company’s Annual Report, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended June 30, 2003 is being mailed to stockholders, together with these proxy materials, on or about October 10, 2003.

 

VOTES REQUIRED

 

The holders of shares of Common Stock representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Shares of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy (including shares which abstain or do not vote with respect to one or more of the matters presented for stockholder approval) will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.

 

The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by stockholders entitled to vote on the matter is required for the election of directors. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock voting on the matter is required to ratify the selection by the Board of Directors of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for the current year.

 

Shares which abstain from voting as to a particular matter, and shares held in “street name” by brokers or nominees who indicate on their proxies that they do not have discretionary authority to vote such shares as to a particular matter, will not be counted as votes in favor of such matter, and will also not be counted as shares voting on such matter. Accordingly, abstentions and “broker non-votes” will have no effect on the voting on matters (such as the election of directors and the ratification of the selection of the auditors) that require the affirmative vote of a plurality or a majority of the votes cast or the shares voting on the matter.

 

STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT

 

In April 2002, the Company entered into a stockholders agreement with some of its stockholders, including the Company’s executive officers and the entities affiliated with General Atlantic Partners, LLC (the “GAP Entities”). The stockholders agreement provides the GAP Entities the right to designate one member of the

 

1


Company’s Board of Directors and obligates the Company to use its best efforts to cause that designee to be nominated and elected to the Board of Directors and its committees. Pursuant to the stockholders agreement, stockholders, including the Company’s executive officers, who together beneficially own approximately 84% of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of September 24, 2003, have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the designee of the GAP Entities. Steven A. Denning is currently the designee of the GAP Entities. Mr. Denning is currently a Class I director who was elected at the 2002 Annual Meeting and whose current term expires at the 2005 Annual Meeting. Accordingly, no designee of the GAP Entities has been nominated for election at the 2003 Annual Meeting and thus the stockholders agreement will have no impact on the voting for the election of directors. The stockholders agreement also provides the GAP Entities with specified preemptive rights with respect to specified future private placements of the capital stock, or securities convertible into the Company’s capital stock, enabling the GAP Entities to maintain their proportionate percentage ownership of the capital stock. All the rights and obligations under the stockholders agreement terminate once the GAP Entities cease to own at least 423,529 shares of Class A Common Stock.

PROPOSAL 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

 

The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) provides that the Board of Directors is classified into three classes (designated as Class I directors, Class II directors and Class III directors), with members of each class holding office for staggered three-year terms. There are currently two Class I directors, whose terms expire at the 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, two Class II directors, whose terms expire at the Annual Meeting, and two Class III directors, whose terms expire at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (in all cases subject to the election and qualification of their successors and to their earlier death, resignation, or removal). In addition, the Board of Directors has recently expanded the size of the Board of Directors to include one additional Class II director, bringing the total number of directors to seven. Pursuant to the Company’s Charter, the vacancy created by this enlargement of the Board of Directors must be filled by the Board of Directors itself. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has provided that Edward E. Legasey will take office as a Class II director immediately prior to the Annual Meeting. Mr. Legasey’s initial term as a Class II director will expire immediately thereafter at the Annual Meeting, and he will be subject to re-election by the stockholders of the Company at the Annual Meeting.

 

The persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote to elect as Class II directors the three nominees named below, unless authority to vote for the election of any or all of the nominees is withheld by marking the proxy to that effect. Two of the nominees, Messrs. Brehm and Staley, are presently Class II directors of the Company, and the third, Mr. Legasey, will first become a Class II director immediately prior to the Annual Meeting as discussed above. All of the nominees have indicated their willingness to serve, if elected, but if any should be unable or unwilling to serve, proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee designated by the Board of Directors. Each Class II director will be elected to hold office until the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (subject to the election and qualification of his successor and to his earlier death, resignation, or removal).

(2)   The potential realizable value is calculated based on the term of the option at the time of grant. Assumed rates of stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% are prescribed by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not represent the Company’s prediction of the Company’s stock price performance. The potential realizable values at 5% and 10% appreciation are calculated by assuming that the grant price of $24.80 per share appreciates at the indicated rate for the entire 15-year term of the option and that the option is exercised at the exercise price and sold on the last day of its term at the appreciated price.

On July 1, 2003, an additional 751,252 shares of Class A Common Stock were reserved for issuance under the terms of the 2002 Plan.

 

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS

 

Life insurance policies and stock purchase agreement with chief executive officer

 

Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement with Dr. Volgenau, the Company is obligated to use the proceeds of term life insurance that it maintains on his life to repurchase his shares of Common Stock upon his death. Under the stock purchase agreement, the purchase price per share for this purchase is the fair market value of the stock. Prior to the Company’s initial public offering in May 2002, the agreement did not obligate the Company to maintain any specified level of insurance. From June 2000 until September 26, 2002, the Company maintained policies having an aggregate value of $80,000,000 on the life of Dr. Volgenau, with aggregate annual premiums of $456,800. The Company has been the sole beneficiary of these policies since their inception. On May 19, 2002, the Company amended the purchase agreement with Dr. Volgenau to provide that the Company would be obligated following the Company’s initial public offering to maintain these life insurance policies through 2010. The purchase agreement was further amended on September 26, 2002, to reduce the amount of coverage from $80,000,000 to $10,000,000, with premiums for the $10,000,000 policy being $53,200 per year. These premiums are fixed until 2010. The Company also agreed that, should these policies cease to be available before 2010, the Company will purchase and maintain life insurance policies providing the maximum coverage for the remainder of that period that can be purchased with the same overall annual premiums.

 

Policy on Future Transactions

 

For all future transactions, the Board of Directors has adopted a policy that all transactions between the Company and its officers, directors, principal stockholders and their affiliates must (i) be approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors and (ii) be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

The Compensation Committee sets the compensation packages for each of the Company’s executive officers (Messrs. Volgenau, Legasey, DiPentima, Hughes, and Landew), and the Chairman of the Board of Directors. In addition, the Committee reviews and approves salaries for the remainder of the Company’s officers, target cash and equity incentive compensation pools for all employee groups, performance goals for the Company and its major operating units, cash and equity incentive compensation payouts according to performance plans, and general compensation policies. The Committee is composed of three members, all of whom are non-employee directors.

 

During fiscal 2003, the Compensation Committee recommended adoption of a charter fixing its composition, duties, and responsibilities. The Board of Directors adopted the charter recommended by the Compensation Committee. The charter of the Compensation Committee is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix B.

 

Executive Compensation Philosophy

 

The Company’s executive compensation program is based on several principles:

 

    Meritocracy: The Company pays above average incentives for outstanding performance and low or no incentives for poor performance.

 

    Fairness: The Company measures people against what they are asked to do; if their assignment changes, so is how they are measured.

 

    Clarity: Goals and computational methods are clear and are communicated in written performance plans.

 

    Unity of Effort: While each individual has goals that are tied to his or her performance, everyone is evaluated to some extent on the Company’s overall performance. The executive officers’ performance assessment is tied primarily to the Company’s overall performance.

 

Components of Compensation

 

The three major components of the Company’s executive officer compensation are (i) base salary, (ii) annual incentive awards in the form of cash bonuses, and (iii) long-term, equity-based incentive awards.

 

We set base salaries for executives using market compensation data based on companies that we believe are comparable to the Company. We use as a base salary benchmark the salary data representing the 50th percentile. We set total target cash compensation (base salary plus target bonus) at the 75th percentile. The difference between an executive’s total cash target and base salary represents his or her cash bonus target.

 

The actual cash bonus earned by each executive officer is determined at the end of each fiscal year based on the degree to which the specified goals we have established at the beginning of the year for the executive have been met or exceeded. For each of the executive officers, these goals include Company-wide financial performance measures. In some cases, we also establish individual goals for the executive, typically involving the performance of a business unit or function managed by him or her.

 

We also use stock-based compensation to the executive officers as a way of aligning management’s interests with those of the stockholders. Like bonuses, stock option awards are determined for each executive officer at the end of each fiscal year based on the goals established at the beginning of the year. Stock option grants reflect a “constant value” approach. That is, we focus on the face value of the grant, not the number of options, in

 

11


determining the option grant to the executive. This has the effect of reducing the average size of awards over time if the share price increases. The Company generally grants non-qualified stock options, which provide the company a tax deduction in the year of exercise. Options typically vest in equal increments over a four-year period.

 

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

 

Ernst Volgenau has served as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer since its inception. Dr. Volgenau’s base salary, cash bonus target, and total cash target for fiscal 2003 were increased approximately 9.5% over fiscal 2002. The total cash bonus earned by and paid to Dr. Volgenau in fiscal 2003 was higher than fiscal 2002 due in part to the increased cash bonus target, as well as improved company performance. The cash bonus awarded Dr. Volgenau for fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002 was based entirely on actual Company performance measured against targets for revenue and profitability established at the beginning of the year. The Committee believes that the size and mix of Dr. Volgenau’s total compensation is consistent with the size and mix of compensation provided to chief executive officers of comparable companies.

 

Compliance with Section 162(m)

 

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for certain compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the company’s Chief Executive Officer and the four other most highly compensated executive officers. Certain compensation, including qualified performance-based compensation, will not be subject to the deduction limit if certain requirements are met. The Compensation Committee reviews the potential effect of Section 162(m) periodically and generally seeks to structure the long-term incentive compensation granted to its executive officers through option issuances in a manner that is intended to avoid disallowance of deductions under Section 162(m). Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that compensation attributable to awards granted under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan will be treated as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m). In addition, the Compensation Committee reserves the right to use its judgment to authorize compensation payments that may be subject to the limit when the Compensation Committee believes such payments are appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, after taking into consideration changing business conditions and the performance of its employees.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

 

The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is composed of three members and acts under a written charter. A copy of this charter, which was revised during fiscal 2003, is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A. The members of the Audit Committee are independent, financially literate members of the Board of Directors, as defined by its charter and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Mr. Barter has accounting or related financial management experience within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. The Audit Committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003.

 

The Audit Committee reviewed the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 and discussed these financial statements with the Company’s management. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the Company’s financial statements and for the appropriateness of the accounting principles and reporting policies that are used by the Company. The independent auditors are responsible for auditing the Company’s financial statements and for reviewing the Company’s unaudited interim financial statements. The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring and overseeing these processes. As appropriate, the Audit Committee reviews and evaluates, and discusses with the Company’s management, internal accounting, financial and auditing personnel and the independent auditors, the following:

 

    the independent auditors’ report on each audit of the Company’s financial statements;

 

    the Company’s financial disclosure documents, including all financial statements and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or sent to shareholders;

 

    changes in the Company’s accounting practices, principles, controls or methodologies;

 

    significant developments or changes in accounting rules applicable to the Company; and

 

    the adequacy of the Company’s internal controls and accounting, financial and auditing personnel, and Audit Committee Charter.

 

Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s financial statements had been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The Audit Committee also reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements and the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards 61 (Communication with Audit Committees) with Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent auditors. SAS 61 requires the Company’s independent auditors to discuss with the Company’s Audit Committee, among other things, the following:

 

    methods to account for significant, unusual transactions;

 

    the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus;

 

    the process used by management in formulating particularly sensitive accounting estimates and the basis for the auditors’ conclusions regarding the reasonableness of those estimates; and

 

    disagreements with management over the application of accounting principles, the basis for management’s accounting estimates and the disclosures in the financial statements.

 

The Company’s independent auditors also provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees). In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors their independence from the Company. The Audit Committee also considered whether the independent auditors’ provision of other, non-audit related services to the Company is compatible with maintaining such auditors’ independence.

 

13


Based on its discussions with management and the independent auditors, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and the independent auditors, the Audit Committee recommended to the Company’s 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, 2003.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

 

The Company established its current compensation committee structure in March 2002. No members of the Compensation Committee are officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Prior to March 2002, two of the three members of the Company’s Compensation Committee, Dr. Volgenau and Mr. Brehm, were during that period officers or employees of the Company. No interlocking relationships exist between the Board of Directors, or Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors or compensation committee of any other company.

 

COMPARATIVE STOCK PERFORMANCE

 

The following graph compares the cumulative total stockholder return on the Class A Common Stock of the Company from May 24, 2002 (the first trading date following the Company’s initial public offering) to June 30, 2003 with the cumulative total return of (i) the Russell 2000 stock index and (ii) the services sector index of the Goldman Sachs Technology Index (the GSTI services index). This graph assumes the investment of $100.00 on May 24, 2002 in the Company’s Class A Common Stock, the Russell 2000 stock index, and the GSTI services index, and assumes any dividends are reinvested. The historical information set forth below is not necessarily indicative of future performance.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

 

A trust controlled by William K. Brehm converted 60,000 Class B shares to Class A shares on November 20 and on November 26, 2002 in connection with a charitable gift of such shares. These conversions were reported late on a Form 4 filed on December 18, 2002. Based solely on a review of the forms submitted to the Company, the Company is not aware of any other failure during fiscal 2003 by its officers, directors or holders of 10% of

 

15


the Company’s Class A Common Stock to comply in a timely manner with the filing requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

PROPOSAL 2—RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

The Board of Directors, which includes all of the members of the Audit Committee, has selected the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for the current fiscal year. Deloitte & Touche LLP has served as the Company’s independent auditors since March 2002. Although stockholder approval of the Board of Directors’ selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP is not required by law, the Board of Directors believes that it is advisable to give stockholders an opportunity to ratify this selection. If this proposal is not approved at the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors may reconsider its selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP.

 

Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

 

CHANGE OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

 

In March 2002, the Company dismissed its independent public accountants, Arthur Andersen LLP, and retained Deloitte & Touche LLP to act as its independent auditors. Arthur Andersen LLP had been the Company’s independent public accountants since 1984. In connection with Arthur Andersen LLP’s audit of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years 1999, 2000, and 2001, and in connection with the subsequent period up to their dismissal, there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, nor any reportable events. Arthur Andersen LLP’s report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, and 2001 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not modified or qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The decision to change auditors was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors, including all of the members of the Audit Committee. Prior to the dismissal of Arthur Andersen LLP, the Company had not consulted with Deloitte & Touche LLP on any accounting matters. The Company has provided Arthur Andersen LLP and Deloitte & Touch LLP with a copy of the disclosure contained in this section of the proxy statement. The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003, have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP.

 

AUDIT FEES

 

Deloitte & Touche LLP billed the Company an aggregate of $169,549 for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year and review of financial statements for quarterly periods within that fiscal year.

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION FEES

 

Deloitte & Touche LLP did not provide services in connection with financial information systems design, implementation, the operation of the Company’s information system or the management of its local area network.

 

ALL OTHER FEES

 

Deloitte & Touche LLP billed the Company an aggregate of $247,000 in fees for other services rendered to the Company and its affiliates for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 related to registration statements connected with the Company’s follow-on public offering in June 2003, $179,323 in fees for tax related services, and $18,810 in fees for audits of employees benefit plans.

 

16


The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors believes that the provision of these services by Deloitte & Touche LLP is compatible with maintaining such auditor’s independence.

 

LEASED EMPLOYEES

 

The Company has been informed by Deloitte & Touche LLP that no work was performed by persons other than full-time, permanent employees of Deloitte & Touche on the Deloitte & Touche LLP engagement to audit the Company’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year.

 

Board Recommendation

 

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for the current fiscal year.

 

OTHER MATTERS

 

The Board of Directors does not know of any other matters which may come before the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matters are properly presented to the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote, or otherwise act, in accordance with their judgment on such matters.

 

All costs of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. In addition to solicitations by mail, the Company’s directors, officers and employees, without additional remuneration, may solicit proxies by telephone, telegraph and personal interviews, and the Company reserves the right to retain outside agencies for the purpose of soliciting proxies. Brokers, custodians and fiduciaries will be requested to forward proxy soliciting material to the owners of stock held in their names, and, as required by law, the Company will reimburse them for their out-of-pocket expenses in this regard.

  -   the effect of regulatory and accounting initiatives, as well as off-balance sheet structures, on the financial statements of the Company;
