TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 21, 2008, SM&A and Steven S. Myers entered into an agreement to resolve their pending proxy
contest with respect to the election of directors at SM&As 2008 annual meeting of stockholders, which is scheduled to be held on May 23, 2008.
Pursuant to the terms of that agreement, Mr. Myers has terminated his proxy solicitation with
respect to the election of directors at that annual meeting. He has also withdrawn his definitive
proxy statement in its entirety and informed SM&A stockholders that proxies previously granted to
him pursuant to the GOLD proxy card that accompanied that definitive proxy statement will not be
voted at that annual meeting. The agreement also requires him to vote shares of SM&A common stock
beneficially owned by him in favor of the SM&A board nominees.
The agreement provides that Mr. Myers will not, directly or indirectly, solicit proxies or
initiate, propose or become a participant in a solicitation to elect or remove any director of SM&A
or, without the prior written consent of the Board, propose any matter to be voted on by SM&As
stockholders, or engage in any solicitation to encourage the withholding of stockholder votes or
proxies with respect to any director nominated by SM&A or any other proposal of SM&A set forth in
its proxy statement, in each case through the earlier of March 1, 2010 and the date that is ten
days prior to the notice deadline in any advance notice provision related to any action to be taken
at SM&As 2010 annual meeting of stockholders. SM&A will not hold its 2010 annual meeting of
stockholders prior to May 15, 2010.
The agreement requires SM&A to obtain the resignations of two of its directors and appoint two
individuals proposed by one or more of its major stockholders (including Mr. Myers) and mutually
acceptable to SM&A and its major stockholders to fill the resulting vacancies on the board as soon as practicable and in any event within
90 days of the date of the agreement. In addition, SM&A will not increase the size of its board
prior to its 2010 annual meeting of stockholders unless such increase is approved by its
stockholders holding a majority of the shares of its outstanding Common Stock. To the extent
permitted under applicable laws, SM&A will also have discussions with Mr. Myers periodically on the
same basis that it would with any of its other major stockholders.
SM&A granted registration rights to Mr. Myers under the agreement. Those rights require SM&A
to file a registration statement on Form S-3 as soon as reasonably practicable to register all
shares of common stock beneficially owned by Mr. Myers. SM&A is also required to use reasonable
efforts to cause that registration statement to become, and remain, effective for two years or, if
shorter, until those shares have been sold in a manner such that they are no longer subject to
transfer restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or are no longer restricted
securities. Mr. Myers will bear all expenses incident to this registration.
The agreement provides for a mutual release by SM&A and Mr. Myers of all existing or potential
claims that they may have against each other through the date of the agreement in connection with
the proxy contest or the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders, other than with regards to a breach
of, or the enforcement of, the agreement. SM&A and Mr. Myers also agreed
that they will each bear their own expenses incurred in connection with the proxy contest, and will
consult with each other prior to the release of, and allow each other to review and comment upon,
any public statement by either of them relating to the proxy contest or the 2008 annual meeting.
Mr. Myers has also agreed that he will consult with SM&A prior to, and allow it to review and comment on, any other
public statement by him regarding SM&A during the period noted above for which he has agreed to
refrain from initiating any proxy solicitation.
The foregoing description of the agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the complete text of the agreement, a copy of which is attached as
Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference in its
entirety.
SM&A does not anticipate incurring any costs in connection with the agreement.
