PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2006

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 Friday, October 27, 2006 (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 15, 2006, 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 41,641,104 shares of class A common stock, $0.004 par value per share, of the Company and 14,459,828 shares of class B common stock, $0.004 par value per share, which constitutes all of the voting stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”). 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, 2006 is being distributed to stockholders, together with these proxy materials, on or about September 26, 2006.

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 Audit Committee of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007.

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 independent registered public accounting firm) that require the affirmative vote of a plurality or a majority of the votes cast or the shares voting on the matter.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of this proxy statement and

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company’s Board of Directors has long believed that good corporate governance is important to ensure that the Company is managed for the long-term benefit of stockholders. Over the past several years, the Company’s Board of Directors has reviewed its governance practices in light of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new SEC rules and regulations and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This section describes key corporate governance guidelines and practices that the Company has adopted. Complete copies of the governance policies, committee charters and codes of conduct described below are available on the Company’s website at www.sra.com. Alternatively, you can request a copy of any of these documents by writing to the Corporate Secretary.

Governance Policies of the Board of Directors

The Board has adopted governance policies to assist in the exercise of its duties and responsibilities and to serve the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. These policies, which provide a framework for the conduct of the Board’s business, provide that:

 

    the principal responsibility of the directors is to oversee the management of the Company;

 

    a majority of the members of the Board shall be independent directors;

 

    the non-management directors shall meet regularly in executive session;

 

    directors have full and free access to management and, as necessary and appropriate, independent advisors;

 

    new directors participate in an orientation program and all directors are expected to participate in continuing director education on an ongoing basis; and

 

    at least annually, the Board and its committees will conduct a self-evaluation to determine whether they are functioning effectively.

Board Determination of Independence

Under NYSE rules, a director of the Company will only qualify as “independent” if the Company’s Board of Directors affirmatively determines that he or she has no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a material relationship with the Company). The Board of Directors has established guidelines to assist it in determining whether a director has a material relationship with the Company. Under these guidelines, a director is considered to have a material relationship with the Company if he or she is not independent under Section 303A.02(b) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual or he or she:

 

    is an executive officer of another company that does business with the Company and the annual sales to, or purchases from, the Company account for more than $1 million or two percent, whichever is greater, of the annual consolidated gross revenues of the company he or she serves as an executive officer;

 

    is an executive officer of another company which is indebted to the Company, or to which the Company is indebted, and the total amount of either company’s indebtedness to the other is more than one percent of the total consolidated assets of the company he or she serves as an executive officer; or

 

    serves as an officer, director or trustee of a charitable organization and the Company’s discretionary charitable contributions to the organization are more than the greater of $1 million or two percent of that organization’s total annual charitable receipts.

Ownership of a significant amount of the Company’s stock, by itself, does not constitute a material relationship.

For relationships not covered by the guidelines set forth above, the determination of whether a material relationship exists is made by the other members of the Board of Directors who are independent.

The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that none of John W. Barter, Larry R. Ellis, Miles R. Gilburne, Michael R. Klein, Delbert C. Staley or Gail R. Wilensky has a material relationship with the Company and that each of these directors is “independent” as determined under Section 303A.02(b) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

Board Meetings and Attendance

The Board met 8 times during fiscal 2006, either in person or by teleconference. During fiscal 2006, each director attended at least 75% of the number of Board meetings and the number of meetings held by all committees on which the director then served, during the periods in which the director so served, except for Dr. Wilensky, who attended four of six such meetings since her appointment in December 2005. Consistent with the requirements of the Board’s governance policies, the Board met in executive session, without the presence of management, following the conclusion of each regularly scheduled board meeting. These meetings were chaired by Mr. Staley, who serves as the Lead Director.

Director Attendance at Annual Meeting of Shareholders

The governance policies of the Board provide that directors are responsible for attending the annual meeting of stockholders. All directors then serving as directors of the Company attended the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders on October 28, 2005.

Board Committees

The Board of Directors has established three standing committees—Audit, Compensation and Governance—each of which operates under a charter that has been approved by the Board. Current copies of each committee’s charter are posted on the Company’s website, www.sra.com.

The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Audit, Compensation and Governance committees are independent as defined under the rules of the NYSE, and in the case of all members of the Audit Committee, under the additional independence requirements contemplated by Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include:

 

    appointing, approving the compensation of, and assessing the independence of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm;

 

    overseeing the work of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, including through the receipt and consideration of certain reports from the independent registered public accounting firm;

    preparing the audit committee report required by SEC rules (which is included on page 17 of this proxy statement).

The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Barter is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K.

 

8


The members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Barter, Gilburne and Staley. The Audit Committee met six times during fiscal 2006.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee’s responsibilities include:

 

    annually reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to CEO compensation;

 

    determining the CEO’s compensation;

 

    reviewing and approving, or making recommendations to the Board with respect to, the compensation of the Company’s other executive officers;

 

    overseeing an evaluation of the Company’s senior executives; and

 

    overseeing and administering the Company’s cash and equity incentive plans.

The members of the Compensation Committee are Mr. Staley, General Ellis, and Dr. Wilenksy. Mr. Denning was a member of the Compensation Committee during all of fiscal 2006. General Ellis was elected to replace him on the Compensation Committee in September 2006. Mr. Barter was a member of the Compensation Committee from July 2005 until Dr. Wilensky was elected to replace him in February 2006. The Compensation Committee is authorized to designate a subcommittee of its members with the authority to approve stock option grants and other equity awards to the Company’s executive officers. The Compensation Committee met one time during fiscal 2006.

Governance Committee

The Governance Committee’s responsibilities include:

 

    identifying individuals qualified to become Board members;

 

    recommending to the Board the persons to be nominated for election as directors;

 

    reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to management succession planning;

 

    developing and recommending to the Board governance policies;

 

    reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to director compensation; and

 

    overseeing an annual evaluation of the Board.

The members of the Governance Committee are Messrs. Klein, Barter and Gilburne. The Governance Committee met one time during fiscal 2006. Mr. Denning was a member of the Governance Committee during all of fiscal 2006. Mr. Gilburne was elected to replace him on the Governance Committee in September 2006.

Director Candidates

The process followed by the Governance Committee to identify and evaluate director candidates includes requests to Board members and others for recommendations, meetings from time to time to evaluate biographical information and background material relating to potential candidates and interviews of selected candidates by members of the Committee and the Board. The Committee may retain the services of an executive search firm to help identify and evaluate potential director candidates.

In considering whether to recommend any particular candidate for inclusion in the Board’s slate of recommended director nominees, the Governance Committee will apply the criteria set forth in the Company’s governance policies. These criteria include the candidate’s integrity, business acumen, commitment to understand the Company’s business and industry, experience, conflicts of interest and the ability to act in the

 

9


interests of all stockholders. The Committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is a prerequisite for each prospective nominee. The Company believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of its directors, considered as a group, should provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow the Board to fulfill its responsibilities.

Stockholders may recommend individuals to the Governance Committee for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting their names, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials and a statement as to whether the stockholder or group of stockholders making the recommendation has beneficially owned more than 5% of the Company’s common stock for at least a year as of the date such recommendation is made, to the Secretary of the Company at 4300 Fair Lakes Court, Fairfax, VA 22033, and they will be forwarded to the Governance Committee members for consideration. Assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the Committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others.

Stockholders also have the right under the Company’s bylaws to directly nominate director candidates, without any action or recommendation on the part of the Committee or the Board, by following the procedures set forth under “Stockholder Proposals for 2007 Annual Meeting” on page 21 of this Proxy Statement.

Communicating with Independent Directors

The Board will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by stockholders and other interested parties, and will respond if and as appropriate. The Chairman of the Board (if an independent director), or the Lead Director (if one is appointed), or otherwise the Chairman of the Governance Committee, with the assistance of the Corporate Secretary, is primarily responsible for monitoring communications from stockholders and other interested parties and for providing copies or summaries to the other directors as he or she considers appropriate. The Chairman of the Board (if an independent director), or the Lead Director (if one is appointed) also serves as the presiding director at all executive sessions of the non-management directors. As the Lead Director, Mr. Staley has and currently performs these responsibilities.

Communications are forwarded to all directors if they relate to important substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that the Chairman of the Board or the Lead Director considers to be important for the directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and matters as to which the Company tends to receive repetitive or duplicative communications.

Stockholders who wish to send communications on any topic to the Board should address such communications to the Board of Directors c/o Mr. Delbert Staley, Lead Director, SRA International, Inc., 4300 Fair Lakes Court, Fairfax, VA 22033.

Codes of Ethics

The Board has adopted a code of business ethics and conduct that applies to all of the Company’s employees, officers and directors. This code is posted on the Company’s website at www.sra.com. The code requires employees, officers and directors to report any suspected violations of the code to the appropriate company official(s), or they may anonymously report any suspected violations to SRA’s Business Ethics and Procurement Fraud Hotline which is hosted by an independent third party.

The Company has also adopted a Code of Ethics for Principal Financial Officers that addresses some of the same issues as the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, but establishes specific standards related to financial controls and financial reporting, and applies to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Principal Financial

 

10


Officers of the Company are expected to adhere to both the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct and the Code of Ethics for Principal Financial Officers. The Company has posted a current copy of the Code of Ethics for Principal Financial Officers on its website which is located at www.sra.com.

The Company intends to post on its website all disclosures that are required by law or NYSE stock market listing standards concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the codes.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Pursuant to the Company’s compensation plan for non-employee directors, the Company pays each non-employee director $35,000 per year, $2,000 for each board meeting attended in person, $2,000 for each committee meeting attended in person, and $1,000 for teleconference board and committee meetings. Committee meeting fees are only paid for meetings held on a date different from a Board meeting. The Audit Committee chair is paid an additional annual retainer of $20,000, and all other committee chairs are paid an additional annual retainer of $10,000.

Non-employee directors receive a one-time equity grant with an estimated value of $150,000 following their first appointment or election to the Board. Each continuing non-employee director receives an annual equity grant with an estimated value of $50,000, beginning on the third business day following the issuance of the Company’s earnings release for the fiscal year-end nearest the third anniversary of the director’s initial appointment or election to the Board or the date of the director’s most recent equity grant, whichever is later.

Each equity grant described above consists in part of nonqualified stock options and in part of restricted stock, in each case with respect to class A common stock. The allocation of each equity grant between stock options and restricted stock shares is made so that the estimated value attributable to both components is equal. The estimated value is determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and with the Company’s practices and methodologies then in effect. The equity grants are made under the Company’s then-existing stock incentive plan and vest in 25% increments over four years. In the case of stock options, the exercise price is the average of the high and low trading prices on the NYSE of the class A common stock on the day of the grant.

Prior to April 2006, during fiscal 2006, the Company paid each non-employee director $24,000 per year and committee chairs received an additional annual retainer of $2,400. In its discretion, the Company made non-qualified stock option grants to non-employee directors from time to time. All other aspects of non-employee director compensation from July 1, 2005 through March 31, 2006 were consistent with the current plan.

In February 2006, Gail R. Wilensky was granted options to purchase 40,000 shares of class A common stock under the Company’s 2002 Stock Incentive Plan. These options were granted at an exercise price of $32.20 per share. The options vest in 25% increments over four years. The options expire in February 2016.

(1) Represents options to acquire shares of class A common stock.
(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 Company’s stock price per share on the grant date appreciates at the indicated rate for the entire 10-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.
(3) These options vest at a rate of 25% per year on each of August 4, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Affiliation of one of the directors and one of the Company’s outside law firms

During fiscal 2006, Mr. Klein, one of the Company’s directors, was a partner of the law firm of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, LLP (“WCPHD”) until December 31, 2005, and as a senior counselor thereafter. WCPHD is the result of a merger of Wilmer Cutler Pickering LLP (“Wilmer”) and Hale and Dorr LLP (“Hale and Dorr”), which was effective May 31, 2004. Prior to the merger, Mr. Klein was a partner of Wilmer and had no affiliation with Hale and Dorr. Prior to the merger, the Company retained Hale and Dorr as one of its outside law firms. Likewise, following the merger, for the duration of fiscal 2004, fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006, the Company retained the combined firm, WCPHD, and the Company expects to continue to retain WCPHD in fiscal 2007. The Company did not retain Wilmer prior to the merger.

Affiliation of the Chief Executive Officer with an employee

Dr. DiPentima’s son-in-law, Kevin M. Robbins, is employed by the Company. During fiscal 2006, he was paid total compensation of $158,300.

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 oversees the Company’s executive compensation program. The Committee reviews the Company’s compensation philosophy each year and makes adjustments to reflect changing business objectives or market conditions. The Company’s executive compensation program is intended to attract and retain executives and to motivate management to achieve or exceed the Company’s objectives.

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 Company-wide performance measures such as revenue and earnings per share.

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 established at the beginning of the year for the executive have been achieved. 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, which may involve the performance of a business unit or function managed by him or her or measures of employee development.

We also use stock-based compensation as a way of aligning management’s interests with those of the stockholders. Like bonuses, stock option and restricted stock 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 and restricted stock grants reflect a “constant value” approach. That is, we focus on the face value of the grants, not the number of options or shares, in determining the grant to the executive. This has the effect of reducing the average size of awards over time if the share price increases and vice versa. Prior to fiscal 2006, the Company historically granted non-qualified stock options, which provide the Company a tax deduction in the year of exercise. Beginning in fiscal 2006, the Company also granted restricted stock, which provide the Company a tax deduction when the shares vest, or when employee income is realized. Options and restricted stock grants typically vest in equal 25% increments over a four-year period beginning on the date of grant. The allocation of equity grants between stock options and restricted stock shares is such that the estimated value attributable to both components is equal.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

Renato A. DiPentima served as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer for all of fiscal 2006. At the beginning of fiscal 2006, the Compensation Committee approved Company performance goals based on revenue and profitability, and established a salary of $410,000 and a cash bonus target of $490,000 for Dr. DiPentima. Dr. DiPentima was paid a cash bonus of $403,229 based upon actual Company performance relative to Company performance goals.

The Compensation Committee believes that the size and mix of the Chief Executive Officer’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 other named 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 with option issuances in a manner that is intended to minimize 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 reviewed the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and discussed these financial statements with the Company’s management and Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. 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 registered public accounting firm is 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.

The Audit Committee has also received from, and discussed with, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm various communications that the Company’s firm is required to provide to the Audit Committee, including the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). SAS 61 requires the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm 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 independent registered public accounting firms’ 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 registered public accounting firm 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 registered public accounting firm their independence from the Company. The Audit Committee also considered whether the independent registered public accounting firm’s provision of other, non-audit related services to the Company is compatible with maintaining such auditors’ independence.

Based on its discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and the independent registered public accounting firm, 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, 2006.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Dr. Wilensky began serving on the Board of Directors on December 19, 2005. Her initial statement of beneficial holdings was reported late on a Form 3 on January 3, 2006.

PROPOSAL 2—RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Audit Committee has selected the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year. Deloitte & Touche LLP has served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since March 2002. Although stockholder approval of the Audit Committee’s 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 the 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.
