Introductory Note
On July 20, 2011 (the Closing Date), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated as of March 31, 2011 (Merger Agreement), among SRA International, Inc.
(SRA), Sterling Merger Inc., a Delaware corporation (Merger Sub), and Sterling
Parent Inc., a Delaware corporation (Parent) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sterling
Holdco Inc. (Holding), Merger Sub merged with and into SRA, with SRA as the surviving
entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the Merger). Holding is owned by private investment funds
managed by Providence Equity Partners, L.L.C. (the Providence Investors) and Dr. Ernst
Volgenau, SRAs chairman and founder, acting through The Ernst Volgenau Revocable Trust.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of issued SRA class A common stock, par value
$0.004 per share (Class A Common Stock), and class B common stock, par value $0.004 per
share (Class B Common Stock and collectively with the Class A Common Stock, the
Common Stock), outstanding at the time of the Merger, excluding (i) treasury stock, (ii)
Series A Common Stock owned by Parent or Merger Sub and (iii) Common Stock with respect to which
appraisal rights under Delaware law were properly exercised and not withdrawn, was cancelled and
automatically converted into the right to receive $31.25 in cash, without interest and less any
applicable withholding tax.
Equity contributions totaling $545 million, together with (i) borrowings under a new $875
million senior secured term loan facility (the Term Loan B Facility), (ii) the proceeds
from the sale of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 11.00 % Senior Notes due 2019 (the
Notes) and (iii) cash on hand at SRA, were used, among other things, to finance the
aggregate merger consideration, to make payments in satisfaction of other equity-based interests in
SRA under the Merger Agreement and to pay related transaction fees and expenses.
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On the Closing Date, Merger Sub entered into a credit agreement, dated as of July 20, 2011
(the Credit Agreement) with Parent, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the
other financial institutions and lenders from time to time party thereto, providing for the Term
Loan B Facility and a new $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the
Revolver and, together with the Term Loan B Facility, the Senior Secured Credit
Facilities). Following the consummation of the Merger, SRA succeeded to all of Merger Subs
rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement.
The Term Loan B Facility consists of a senior secured term loan credit facility in the amount
of $875 million with a final maturity of seven years from the initial borrowing on the Closing
Date. The Revolver consists of a $100 million revolving credit facility with a final maturity of
five years from the initial borrowing on the Closing Date. The Revolver includes a $40 million
sub-facility for letters of credit and a $15 million sub-facility for swingline loans. In
addition, the Credit Agreement provides the right for individual lenders to extend the maturity
date of their loans upon the request of SRA and without the consent of any other lender.
Subject to specified conditions, without the consent of the then existing lenders (but subject
to the receipt of commitments), incremental term and revolving facilities may be added to the
Credit Agreement and revolving commitments may be increased by up to (i) $250 million plus (ii) an
additional amount as will not cause the net senior secured leverage ratio on a pro forma basis to
exceed 4.50:1.00 (calculated as if any additional revolving commitment being entered into was fully
drawn). Additional revolving facilities and revolving commitment increases are subject to an
aggregate sub-limit of $100 million.
1
Interest Rate and Fees
The loans under the Credit Agreement initially bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the
British Bankers Association LIBOR (adjusted for maximum reserves and subject to a floor in the case
of the Term Loan B Facility of 1.25%) plus 5.25% for each of the Term Loan B Facility and the
Revolver (subject in the case of the Revolver to a 0.25% step-down), or (ii) the highest of
(subject to a floor in respect of the Term Loan B Facility of 2.25%) (x) the prime commercial
lending rate publicly announced by the administrative agent as the prime rate, (y) the federal
funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (z) the one-month LIBOR rate (adjusted for maximum reserves)
plus 1.00%, plus in each case, 4.25% for each of the Term Loan B Facility and the Revolver (subject
in the case of the Revolver to a 0.25% step-down).
SRA is required to pay certain fees with respect to the Credit Agreement, including (i) a
commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the revolving credit
facility, (ii) a participation fee of 5.25% per annum (subject to a 0.25% step-down) with respect
to letters of credit, (iii) fronting fees of 0.125% per annum on the daily aggregate stated amount
of letters of credit and (iv) customary administrative fees.
Prepayments
The Term Loan B Facility is subject to mandatory prepayment and reduction, subject to certain
exceptions, in an amount equal to (a) 75% of excess cash flow (defined in the Credit Agreement) for
each fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, with a reduction to 50%, 25%
and zero based upon achievement of a consolidated net leverage ratio of 3.50:1.00 or less,
2.75:1.00 or less, and 2.00:1.00 or less, respectively, (b) 100% of the net cash proceeds received
from the incurrence of indebtedness by SRA or any of its restricted subsidiaries (other than
indebtedness permitted under the Credit Agreement), and (c) 100% of the net cash proceeds of
specified non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property by SRA and its
restricted subsidiaries (including insurance and condemnation proceeds), subject to customary
exceptions and the right of SRA to reinvest such proceeds within a specified period of time.
Voluntary prepayments of borrowings under the Term Loan B Facility and Revolver are permitted
at any time, in minimum principal amounts to be agreed upon, subject to (a) reimbursement of the
lenders redeployment costs actually incurred in the case of a prepayment of adjusted LIBOR
borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period and (b) in the case of the
Term Loan B Facility, a 1.00% premium payable in connection with certain refinancings within the
first year. SRA may offer to lenders pro rata voluntary prepayments of borrowings under the Term
Loan B Facility at discount to par, subject to customary conditions. The unutilized portion of
commitments under the Revolver may be reduced or terminated at any time in minimum amounts without
penalty.
Principal amounts under the Term Loan B Facility will be repaid in equal quarterly
installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the original funded principal amount, with
the balance being payable on the final maturity date.
Guarantee and Security
All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Parent and each existing and
subsequently acquired or organized direct and indirect wholly-owned material U.S. restricted
subsidiary of SRA, subject to agreed exceptions.
All obligations of SRA and each guarantor are secured by a perfected security interest in
substantially all existing and after acquired tangible and intangible assets of SRA and each
guarantor, including the capital stock of SRA and the capital stock of each U.S. subsidiary of SRA
and each guarantor, and 65% of each series of capital stock of any non-U.S. subsidiary held
directly by SRA or any guarantor, subject to agreed exceptions.
2
Covenants; Representations and Warranties
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary
affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants are limited to the following:
limitations on the incurrence of debt, liens, fundamental changes, dividends and distributions,
transactions with affiliates, further negative pledge, asset sales, restricted payments,
investments and acquisitions, repayment of certain junior debt (including the Notes) or amendments
of junior debt documents related thereto, line of business, amendments to charter documents,
restrictive agreements and equity interests, each subject to customary exceptions.
In addition, at any time during which borrowings or letters of credit under the Revolver are
outstanding, SRA must maintain a maximum net senior secured leverage ratio, tested on a quarterly
basis. The maximum level of net senior secured leverage ratio is set at 6.25 for the first quarter
of fiscal year 2012 and is subject to step-downs until reaching 4.50 for the third quarter of
fiscal year 2015 and thereafter.
Events of Default
Events of default under the Credit Agreement are limited to nonpayment of principal when due,
nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts, inaccuracy of representations or warranties in any
material respect, violation of other covenants, cross default to other material debt, certain
bankruptcy or insolvency events, certain ERISA events, certain material judgments, actual or
asserted invalidity of material guarantees and certain other loan documents or security interests
and change of control, in each case subject to customary thresholds, notice and grace period
provisions.
Copies of the Credit Agreement, the Master Guarantee Agreement and the Collateral Agreement
are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 hereto, respectively, and incorporated herein by
reference. The foregoing descriptions of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agreement and the
Master Guarantee Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the full text of such agreements.
Indenture
On the Closing Date, Merger Sub issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes
pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of July 20, 2011 (as amended and supplemented, the
Indenture), between Merger Sub and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee
(the Trustee). Following the completion of the Merger on the Closing Date, SRA and
certain of its domestic subsidiaries (the Guarantors) entered a Supplemental Indenture,
dated as of July 20, 2011 (the Supplemental Indenture) with the Trustee, pursuant to
which (i) SRA became a party to the Indenture and assumed the obligations of Merger Sub under the
Notes and (ii) each Guarantor became a party to the Indenture and provided an unconditional
guarantee of the obligations of SRA under the Notes.
Ranking; Guarantee
The Notes are unsecured senior indebtedness of SRA and are effectively subordinated to all of
SRAs existing and future senior secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Senior
Secured Credit Facilities, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.
The Indenture provides that the guarantee of each Guarantor is a general unsecured senior
obligation of that Guarantor, and that the Notes will, subject to certain exceptions, be guaranteed
by each of SRAs current and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee SRAs obligations under
the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
3
Redemption
SRA may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to October 1, 2015, at a
price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to
the redemption date, plus the applicable make-whole premium. SRA may redeem the Notes, in whole or
in part, at any time (i) on and after October 1, 2015 and prior to October 1, 2016, at a price
equal to 105.500% of the principal amount of the Notes, (ii) on or after October 1, 2016 and prior
to October 1, 2017, at a price equal to 102.750% of the principal amount of the Notes, and (iii) on
or after October 1, 2017, at a price equal to 100.000% of the principal amount of the Notes, in
each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, at any
time prior to October 1, 2014, SRA may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 111.000%, plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date.
Covenants
The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit SRAs ability and the ability
of its restricted subsidiaries to: incur more indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; pay
dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions; make investments; create restrictions on the
ability of SRAs restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends to SRA, make other intercompany transfers
or sell or transfer their properties; create liens; transfer or sell assets; merge or consolidate;
enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and designate subsidiaries as unrestricted
subsidiaries. Upon the occurrence of certain events constituting a change of control, SRA is
required to make an offer to repurchase all of the Notes (unless otherwise redeemed) at a purchase
price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any to the
repurchase date. If SRA sells assets under certain circumstances, it must use the proceeds to make
an offer to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.
Events of Default
Events of default under the Indenture are limited to: the nonpayment of principal when due;
the nonpayment of interest for 30 days or more after payment is due; failure to comply with its
other obligations, covenants and agreements contained in the Notes or the Indenture; failure to pay
any indebtedness for borrowed money after final maturity or cross acceleration of material debt;
certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency; failure to pay material judgments; or a failure of any
guarantee of a significant subsidiary to be in full force and effect.
Copies of the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture are attached as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2
hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the Indenture and the
Supplemental Indenture do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the full text of such agreements.
Registration Rights Agreement
Immediately following the consummation of the Merger on the Closing Date, SRA and the
Guarantors entered into the joinder agreement, dated as of July 20, 2011 (Registration Rights
Joinder), by and among SRA, the Guarantors and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated, as representative of the initial purchasers of the Notes (the Initial
Purchasers), with respect to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of July 20, 2011 (the
Registration Rights Agreement), by and among Merger Sub and the Initial Purchasers.
Under the Registration Rights Agreement, SRA is obligated to file and use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause to become effective a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange
(the Exchange Offer) the Notes for notes publicly registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the SEC) with substantially identical terms as the Notes. The
Registration Rights Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain events, SRA will file
with the SEC, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective, a shelf
4
registration statement relating to resales of the Notes and to keep effective such shelf
registration statement for a specific period of time. Pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement, SRA is obligated to pay additional interest on the Notes in specified circumstances,
including if SRA has not exchanged exchange notes for all Notes validly tendered in accordance with
the terms of the Exchange Offer on or prior to the 365th day following the original issue date of
the Notes. The annual interest on the Notes as a result of SRAs failure to satisfy certain of its
registration obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement will increase by 0.25% per annum
during the first 90-day period following the occurrence of such default and by an additional 0.25%
per annum for each subsequent 90-day period during which the related registration default
continues, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 0.50% per annum.
Copies of the Registration Rights Agreement and the Registration Rights Joinder are attached
as Exhibits 4.3 and 4.4 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of
the Registration Rights Agreement and the Registration Rights Joinder does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements.
Financial Advisory Agreement
Upon completion of
the Merger, SRA and Holding entered into a financial advisory agreement with the
Providence Investors, dated as of July 20, 2011 (the Financial Advisory Agreement), pursuant to
which the Providence Investors will provide Holding and its subsidiaries, including SRA, with
financial, investment, management, advisory and other services. Pursuant to the Financial
Advisory Agreement, Holding, or one or more of its subsidiaries, will pay the Providence Investors or its
designee a specified annual fee, plus expenses. Pursuant to the Financial Advisory Agreement, the
Providence Investors received a transaction fee and reimbursement of expenses for consulting and
advisory services for Holding performed by the Providence Investors prior to the closing of the
Merger. A copy of the Financial Advisory Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.4 hereto and incorporated
herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Financial Advisory Agreement does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Financial Advisory Agreement.
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 20, 2011, in conjunction with the closing of the Merger, SRA terminated its existing
Credit Agreement, dated as of August 9, 2007, among SRA, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent,
issuer and lender, and the other financial institutions and lenders party thereto, providing for a
$285 million senior secured revolving credit facility.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangement of a Registrant
The information contained in Item 1.01 of this report concerning SRAs direct financial
obligations under the Term Loan B Facility, the Revolver, the Indenture and the Notes is hereby
incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard;
Transfer of Listing.
In connection with the closing of the Merger, SRA notified the New York Stock Exchange (the
NYSE) on July 20, 2011 that each share of Class A Common Stock (other than (i) treasury
stock, (ii) Class A Common Stock owned by Parent or Merger Sub and (iii) Class A Common Stock with
respect to which appraisal rights under Delaware law were properly exercised and not withdrawn) was
cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive $31.25 in cash, without interest
and less any applicable withholding tax, and requested that the NYSE file with the SEC an
application on Form 25 to
5
delist and deregister the Series A Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Trading of the Class A Common Stock on the
NYSE was suspended prior to market open on July 21, 2011. On July 21, 2011, the NYSE filed the
Form 25. The Form 25 will become effective ten days after its filing. After the Form 25 becomes
effective, SRA expects to file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate its reporting obligations under
the Exchange Act.
Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
As previously disclosed, the Merger Agreement was adopted by SRAs stockholders at the special
meeting of the stockholders of SRA held on July 15, 2011. Stockholders voted to approve the
proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement with the affirmative vote of the holders of (i) a majority
of the outstanding shares of SRAs common stock and (ii) a majority of the outstanding shares of
SRAs common stock, excluding shares beneficially owned, whether directly or indirectly, by Dr.
Ernst Volgenau, as required by the Merger Agreement. The information contained in the Introductory
Note regarding the right of holders of SRAs Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration is
hereby incorporated by reference. Restricted stock awards granted prior to June 30, 2011
that were unvested immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, became fully vested at the
consummation of the Merger and were converted into the right to receive, immediately after the consummation of the Merger, a cash
payment in an amount equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of unvested restricted
stock and (y) the $31.25 per share merger consideration, without interest and less any applicable
withholding taxes (Restricted Award Payment). On July 1, 2011, SRA granted restricted stock awards in an amount
intended to approximate in value one calendar quarters worth of the prior years employee equity
grant (which vested over a four-year schedule). The full July 1 award would have vested at the end
of the calendar quarter in which the award was made. Upon the Merger, one-third of the shares
vested immediately and received the Restricted Award Payment, with the unvested two-thirds balance
of the award being immediately forfeited.
In addition, options to purchase shares of SRAs common stock, whether vested
or unvested prior to the consummation of the Merger, became fully vested upon consummation of the
Merger and converted into the right to receive, immediately after consummation of the Merger, a
cash payment equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Class A common stock then
issuable upon exercise of such stock option, and (y) the excess, if any, of (A) the $31.25 per
share merger consideration over (B) the exercise price per share subject to the stock option,
without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. Options with an exercise price greater than
the Merger Consideration of $31.25 per share were cancelled for no payment.
Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant
On the Closing Date, SRA completed the Merger with Merger Sub and the other transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which resulted in SRA becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of
Parent. Upon the completion of the Merger, all of the outstanding capital stock of Holding, the
ultimate parent company of SRA, was owned by the Providence Investors and Dr. Ernst Volgenau,
acting through The Ernst Volgenau Revocable Trust. The information contained in the Introductory
Note and Item 1.01 concerning the change in control of SRA is hereby incorporated herein by
reference.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
Upon consummation of the Merger, each of Messrs. John W. Barter, Larry R. Ellis, Miles R.
Gilburne, W. Robert Grafton, William T. Keevan and Michael R. Klein, Dr. Stanton Sloane and Ms.
Gail Wilensky ceased to be a director of SRA effective upon the Closing Date. Dr. Ernst Volgenau
will continue to serve as non-executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of SRA. Mr. Timothy J.
Atkin will continue to serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of SRA and
Mr. Richard J. Nadeau will continue to serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of
SRA. Upon consummation of the Merger, each of the following was elected to Holdings board of
directors: Ms. Julie G. Richardson and Mr. Christopher C. Ragona. As a result of their respective
positions with Providence Equity Partners, L.L.C., Ms. Richardson and Mr. Ragona may be deemed to
have an indirect material interest in the Financial Advisory Agreement and as described in Item 1.01.
Accordingly, the information set forth in Item 1.01 under the subheading Financial Advisory Agreement is
incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02. Pursuant to the terms of SRAs Transaction Bonus
Policy and as previously disclosed in SRAs definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on June 15, 2011
(the Proxy Statement), on or immediately prior to the completion of the Merger,
certain employees received cash
6
awards, including Dr. Sloane, who received an award of $500,000, Mr. Atkin, who received an
award of $100,000 and Mr. Nadeau, who received an award of $500,000. In addition, as previously
disclosed in the Proxy Statement, at the completion of the Merger,
all compensatory equity awards granted prior to June 30, 2011 held by the named
executive officers and other employees of SRA were cancelled for
cash. On July 1, 2011, SRA granted restricted stock awards in an amount intended to approximate in value
one calendar quarters worth of the prior years named executive officers equity grant (which
vested over a four-year schedule). The full July 1 award would have vested at the end of the
calendar quarter in which the award was made. Upon the Merger, one-third of the shares vested
immediately and received the Restricted Award Payment, with the unvested two-thirds balance of the
award being immediately forfeited.
On July 22, 2011, SRA announced
the appointment of William L. Ballhaus as SRAs new President and Chief
Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of SRA, effective July 25, 2011.
Mr. Ballhaus, age 43, most recently served as a strategic advisor to Cerberus Operations and
Advisory Company LLC from August 2010 until July 2011. Previously, he was the Chief Executive
Officer and President DynCorp International LLC (DynCorp) and a director of DynCorp
International, Inc., which is the parent of DynCorp, from May 2008 until August 2010. From 2003
until May 2008, he was President of BAE Systems Inc.s Network Systems, National Security Solutions
and Mission Solutions businesses. He holds a Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering from the
University of California at Davis and Masters and Doctorate degrees in aeronautics and
astronautics from Stanford University, as well as a Masters degree in business administration from
the Anderson Graduate School of Management at UCLA. He serves on the United States Geospatial
Intelligence Foundation Board of Directors and the UCLA Anderson School Board of Visitors and also
serves as a director and vice-chairman of DynCorp International, Inc. and a director of
GeoEye, Inc. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. In the view
of SRAs Board of Directors, Dr. Ballhaus has an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant
to the size and nature of SRAs business.
In connection with Dr. Ballhaus appointment, SRAs ultimate parent, Holding, and Dr. Ballhaus
entered into an employment agreement, dated July 20, 2011 (the Ballhaus Agreement). The
Ballhaus Agreement provides for a three-year employment term, which (absent notice) will
automatically renew for successive one-year periods. Under the Ballhaus Agreement, Dr. Ballhaus
will receive an annual salary of $840,000 and will have a target annual bonus opportunity of 100%
of his annual base salary. In addition, Dr. Ballhaus will be granted $1 million of restricted
Holding common stock, vesting 20% per year over five years. Dr. Ballhaus will also participate in
the Holding management equity incentive program, the terms of which have not yet been determined.
Dr. Ballhaus will also be paid a $5,500,000 signing bonus (subject to repayment if Dr. Ballhaus
resigns in his first year of employment) and a $2,000,000 retention bonus to be paid on August 31,
2012. The Ballhaus Agreement also provides for customary severance entitlements and
post-employment restrictive covenants.
Dr. Sloane has announced his resignation
from SRA and its affiliates and, in connection with his resignation,
Dr. Sloane will receive his contractual obligations, as
set forth in the Employment Agreement dated May 28, 2010 (as
filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC on
June 2, 2010), which will include a lump-sum cash severance payment
made up of annual base salary, target annual bonus, prorated bonus
and, in addition, accrued but unused personal leave, and
COBRA benefits for 18 months.
On July 20, 2011, SRA terminated (i) the SRA
International, Inc. 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, (ii) the Deferred Compensation Plan for Key
Employees of SRA International, Inc., (iii) the Deferred Compensation Plan for Key Employees of SRA
International, Inc. (effective as of November 1, 1995) and (iv) the Galaxy Scientific Corporation
