PRELIMINARY—SUBJECT TO COMPLETION—DATED OCTOBER 18, 2018
MERGER PROPOSED—YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

The board of directors of Science Applications International Corporation (which we refer to as SAIC) and the board of directors of Engility Holdings, Inc. (which we refer to as Engility) have agreed to an acquisition of Engility by SAIC, under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 9, 2018.

If the transaction is completed, Engility stockholders will have the right to receive 0.450 of a share of SAIC common stock for each share of Engility common stock they own at closing (which we refer to as the exchange ratio), with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect stock price changes prior to closing of the merger. Based on the closing price of SAIC common stock on the New York Stock Exchange of $89.86 on September 7, 2018 the last trading day before public announcement of the transaction, the merger consideration represented approximately $40.44 of aggregate value for each share of Engility common stock. Based on the SAIC closing price of $          on          , 2018, the latest practicable date before the date of this document, the merger consideration represented approximately $          of aggregate value for each share of Engility common stock. SAIC stockholders will continue to own their existing shares of SAIC common stock. We encourage you to obtain current market quotations of SAIC common stock and Engility common stock before voting.

Upon completion of the merger, we estimate that current SAIC stockholders will own approximately 72% of the combined company and former Engility stockholders will own approximately 28% of the combined company. SAIC common stock and Engility common stock are both traded on the NYSE under the symbols “SAIC” and “EGL”, respectively.

At the special meeting of SAIC stockholders scheduled for          , SAIC stockholders will be asked to vote on (i) a proposal to approve the issuance of shares of SAIC common stock to Engility stockholders, which is necessary to complete the merger, and (ii) a proposal to approve the adjournment from time to time of the SAIC special meeting if necessary to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the SAIC special meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, to approve the issuance of shares of SAIC common stock in the merger. At the special meeting of Engility stockholders scheduled on the same date, Engility stockholders will be asked to vote on (i) a proposal to adopt and approve the merger agreement, (ii) a proposal to approve the adjournment from time to time of the Engility special meeting if necessary to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes to adopt and approve the merger agreement at the time of the Engility special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and (iii) a proposal to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation that may become payable to Engility’s named executive officers in connection with the merger.

We cannot complete the merger unless the Engility stockholders and the SAIC stockholders approve the respective proposals related to the merger. Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether or not you expect to attend the SAIC or Engility special meeting, as applicable, in person, please vote your shares as promptly as possible by (1) accessing the Internet website specified on your proxy card, (2) calling the toll-free number specified on your proxy card, or (3) signing and returning all proxy cards that you receive in the postage-paid envelope provided, so that your shares may be represented and voted at the SAIC or the Engility special meeting, as applicable. If you are an Engility stockholder, please note that a failure to vote your shares is the equivalent of a vote against the merger. If you are an SAIC stockholder, please note that a failure to vote your shares may result in a failure to establish a quorum for the SAIC special meeting.

The SAIC board of directors unanimously recommends that the SAIC stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to issue shares of SAIC common stock in the merger. The Engility board of directors unanimously recommends that the Engility stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to adopt and approve the merger agreement.

The obligations of SAIC and Engility to complete the merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of several conditions set forth in the merger agreement. More information about SAIC, Engility and the merger is contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. SAIC and Engility encourage you to read this entire joint proxy statement/prospectus carefully, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 25.

We look forward to the successful merger of SAIC and Engility.

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued under this joint proxy statement/prospectus or determined that this joint proxy statement/prospectus is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This joint proxy statement/prospectus is dated          , 2018 and is first being mailed to the stockholders of SAIC and stockholders of Engility on or about          , 2018.

As of that date, less than       % of the outstanding shares of Engility common stock were beneficially owned by the directors and executive officers of Engility.

All shares of SAIC common stock represented at the SAIC special meeting, including abstentions and broker non-votes (shares held by a broker or nominee that are represented at the meeting, but with respect to which the broker or nominee is not instructed by the beneficial owner of such shares to vote on the particular proposal), will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum to conduct the SAIC special meeting, but abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as not present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum with respect to the proposal to issue SAIC common stock in connection with the merger.

Engility. Stockholders who hold a majority of the total number of shares of Engility common stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the record date must be present or represented by proxy to constitute a quorum to conduct the Engility special meeting. All shares of Engility common stock represented at the Engility special meeting, including abstentions and broker non-votes (shares held by a broker or nominee that are represented at the meeting, but with respect to which the broker or nominee is not instructed by the beneficial owner of such shares to vote on the particular proposal), will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum to conduct the Engility special meeting, but abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as not present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum with respect to the Engility merger proposal.

Please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker or nominee. Please note that you may not vote shares held in street name by returning a proxy card directly to SAIC or Engility or by voting in person at your special meeting. Further, brokers who hold shares of SAIC common stock or Engility common stock on behalf of their customers may not give a proxy to SAIC or Engility to vote those shares without specific instructions from their customers.

If you choose either of the first two methods, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy to the Secretary of SAIC or Secretary of Engility, as applicable, no later than the beginning of the applicable special meeting. If your shares are held in street name by your broker or nominee, you should contact them to change your vote. If your shares are held through an SAIC or Engility retirement plan, you should contact the trustee for the plan to change your vote.

Treatment of Performance Stock Unit Awards. At the effective time, each outstanding Engility performance stock unit will be converted into a time-based vesting restricted stock unit for a number of whole shares of SAIC common stock (rounded up to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Engility common stock subject to such award determined based on (x) target performance (if the effective time occurs on or prior to December 31, 2018) or (y) actual performance measured on the effective time (or December 31, 2018 if determined by the compensation committee of Engility) if more than twelve months have elapsed from the beginning of the performance period of the applicable performance stock units to the effective time, and (b) the exchange ratio, subject to vesting based on continued service until the third anniversary of the grant date of the Engility performance stock unit, and other terms and conditions, including vesting acceleration terms, as were applicable to such awards prior to the merger.

As further described in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Completion of the Merger”, Engility’s obligation to effect the merger is subject to the satisfaction, or waiver by Engility, at or prior to the effective time of the merger, of the condition that Engility receive a written tax opinion from Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, legal counsel to Engility, dated as of the closing date of the merger, to the effect that the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. In the event that Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP does not render such tax opinion, and Engility does not otherwise waive this condition, the condition may be satisfied if Morrison & Foerster LLP, legal counsel to SAIC, renders such tax opinion.

You should read the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on page 124 for a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. Tax matters can be complicated, and the tax consequences of the merger to you will depend on your particular situation. You should consult your tax advisor to determine the tax consequences of the merger to you.

In order for your shares to be represented at your special meeting:

Risk Factors

Before voting at the SAIC special meeting or the Engility special meeting, you should carefully consider all of the information contained in or as incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the specific factors under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 25 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The Merger and the Merger Agreement

A copy of the merger agreement is attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. SAIC and Engility encourage you to read the entire merger agreement carefully because it is the principal document governing the merger. For more information on the merger agreement, see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement” beginning on page 100.

Effect of the Merger

Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger, merger sub will be merged with and into Engility, with Engility continuing as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of SAIC.

Merger Consideration

If the merger is completed, Engility stockholders will have the right to receive 0.450 of a share of SAIC common stock for each share of Engility common stock they own at closing, which we refer to as the exchange ratio, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect stock price changes prior to closing of the merger.

SAIC stockholders will not receive any merger consideration and will continue to hold their shares of SAIC common stock.

The value of the merger consideration that Engility stockholders receive will depend on the price per share of SAIC common stock at the effective time of the merger. That price will not be known at the time of the special meetings and may be more or less than the current price or the price at the time of the special meetings. This exchange ratio will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of either SAIC common stock or Engility common stock between the date of signing the merger agreement and completion of the merger.

Based on the closing price of SAIC common stock on the NYSE of $89.86 on September 7, 2018, the last trading day before public announcement of the transaction, the merger consideration represented approximately $40.44 of aggregate value for each share of Engility common stock. Based on the SAIC closing price of $    on             , 2018, the latest practicable date before the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the merger consideration represented approximately $    of aggregate value for each share of Engility common stock.

Treatment of Engility Equity Awards (See page 111)

Treatment of Restricted Stock Unit Awards. At the effective time, each outstanding Engility restricted stock unit, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into a restricted stock unit for a number of whole shares of SAIC common stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Engility common stock subject to such award and (b) the SAIC equity award exchange ratio, subject to the same terms and conditions, including vesting, as were applicable to such awards prior to the merger.

Treatment of Performance Stock Unit Awards. At the effective time, each outstanding Engility performance stock unit will be converted into a time-based vesting restricted stock unit for a number of whole shares of SAIC common stock (rounded up to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Engility common stock subject to such award determined based on (x) target performance (if the effective time occurs on or prior to December 31, 2018) or (y) actual performance measured on the effective time (or December 31, 2018 if determined by the compensation committee of Engility) if more than twelve months have elapsed from the beginning of the performance period of the applicable performance stock units to the effective time, and (b) the exchange ratio, subject to vesting based on continued service until the third anniversary of the grant date of the Engility performance stock unit, and other terms and conditions, including vesting acceleration terms, as were applicable to such awards prior to the merger.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger (See page 124)

It is intended that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. If the merger qualifies for such intended tax treatment, a U.S. holder of Engility common stock generally will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of such holder’s shares of Engility common stock for shares of SAIC common stock in the merger, except that such holder of Engility common stock generally may recognize gain or loss with respect to cash received in lieu of a fractional share of SAIC common stock.

As further described in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Completion of the Merger”, Engility’s obligation to effect the merger is subject to the satisfaction, or waiver by Engility, at or prior to the effective time of the merger, of the condition that Engility receive a written tax opinion from Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, legal counsel to Engility, dated as of the closing date of the merger, to the effect that the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. In the event that Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP does not render such tax opinion, and Engility does not otherwise waive this condition, the condition may be satisfied if Morrison & Foerster LLP, legal counsel to SAIC, renders such tax opinion.

The discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger contained in this proxy statement/prospectus is intended to provide only a general summary and is not a complete analysis or description of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. The discussion does not address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent on, individual circumstances. In addition, it does not address the effects of any non-U.S., state or local tax laws.

For a more complete discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, please carefully review the information set forth in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”.

The tax consequences of the merger to any particular stockholder will depend on that stockholder’s particular facts and circumstances. Accordingly, you are urged to consult your own tax advisor as to the specific tax consequences of the merger, including the effects of U.S. federal, state or local, non-U.S. and other tax laws.

Engility’s Executive Officers and Directors Have Financial Interests in the Merger That Differ from the Interests of Engility Stockholders (See page 86)

Certain members of the Engility Board and certain executive officers of Engility may be deemed to have financial interests in the merger that are in addition to, or different from, the interests of other Engility stockholders generally. The Engility Board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving the merger and the merger agreement and in making the recommendations that Engility stockholders approve and adopt the merger agreement. These interests include:

For additional details about these interests, see “Financial Interests of Engility Directors and Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 86.

We cannot be certain when, or if, the conditions to the merger will be satisfied or waived, or that the merger will be completed.

The SAIC special meeting will be held at                 at             , local time, on                   , 2019. At the SAIC special meeting, SAIC stockholders will be asked to approve:

You may vote at the SAIC special meeting if you owned shares of SAIC common stock at the close of business on                , 2018. You may cast one vote for each share of common stock of SAIC that you owned on the record date. On that date, there were              shares of common stock of SAIC outstanding and entitled to vote.

Approval of the SAIC stock issuance proposal requires the approval by affirmative vote of a majority in voting interest of the holders of SAIC common stock present in person or by proxy entitled to vote on such matters at the SAIC special meeting (provided that a quorum exists). Approval of the SAIC adjournment proposal requires approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on such matter at such meeting (provided that a quorum exists).

On the record date, less than             % of the outstanding shares of SAIC common stock were held by SAIC directors and executive officers and their affiliates.

As of the close of business on the record date, there were shares of common stock of Engility outstanding and entitled to vote. You may cast one vote for each share of Engility common stock that you owned on the record date.

Completion of the merger is conditioned on the approval of the Engility merger proposal. Approval of the Engility merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Engility common stock entitled to vote at the Engility special meeting. Approval of the Engility adjournment proposal and the Engility compensation proposal each requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of votes cast on such matter at the Engility special meeting by holders of Engility common stock (provided that a quorum exists).

On the record date for the Engility special meeting, the directors and executive officers of Engility and their affiliates owned and were entitled to vote              shares of Engility’s common stock, representing             % of the outstanding Engility common stock. Engility currently expects that Engility’s directors and executive officers will vote their shares in favor of the Engility merger proposal, the Engility compensation proposal and the Engility adjournment proposal.

Birch entered into the voting agreement with SAIC and Engility and, for purposes of certain sections thereof, certain investment funds affiliated with KKR and certain investment funds affiliated with GA.

The summary unaudited selected pro forma condensed combined financial information listed below has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with (i) the more detailed unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and (ii) the consolidated financial statements and the related notes of both SAIC and Engility, each incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the preliminary allocation of the pro forma aggregate consideration reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to adjustment and may vary materially from the definitive allocation of the final aggregate consideration that will be recorded subsequent to completion of the merger. The determination of the final aggregate consideration will be based on the number of shares of Engility common stock outstanding and SAIC’s stock price at closing. For additional information on the limitations of this information, see “Risk Factors—Risk Factors Relating to SAIC Following the Merger—Other Risks—The historical and unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus may not be representative of SAIC’s results after the merger, and accordingly, you have limited financial information on which to evaluate the combined company” on page 32 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Unaudited Equivalent and Comparative Per Share Data

The following table sets forth, for the six months ended August 3, 2018 and the fiscal year ended February 2, 2018, selected per share information for SAIC common stock on a historical and unaudited pro forma combined basis. The table also sets forth, for the six months ended June 29, 2018 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, selected per share information for Engility common stock on a historical and pro forma equivalent basis. Except for the historical information as of and for the year ended February 2, 2018 (for SAIC) and December 31, 2017 (for Engility), the information in the table is unaudited. You should read the table below together with the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of SAIC and Engility contained in their respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2018 (for SAIC) and December 31, 2017 (for Engility) and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended May 4, 2018 and August 3, 2018 (for SAIC) and March 30, 2018 and June 29, 2018 (for Engility), all of which are incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information” on page 156.

The SAIC pro forma combined earnings per share were calculated using the methodology described below under the heading “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information,” and is subject to all the assumptions, adjustments and limitations described thereunder. The SAIC pro forma combined cash dividends per common share represent SAIC’s historical cash dividends per common share. The SAIC pro forma combined book value per share was calculated by dividing total combined SAIC and Engility common stockholders’ equity by pro forma equivalent common shares. The Engility pro forma equivalent per common share amounts were calculated by multiplying the SAIC pro forma combined per share information by the exchange ratio of 0.450.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This joint proxy statement/prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus contain certain forecasts and other forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, revenue enhancements, competitive positions, growth opportunities, plans and objectives of the management of each of SAIC, Engility and, following the merger, the combined company, the merger and the markets for SAIC and Engility common stock and various other matters. Statements in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein that are not historical facts are hereby identified as “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and Section 27A of the Securities Act. These forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those regarding the expected timing and benefits of the proposed transaction, such as efficiencies, cost savings, enhanced revenues, growth potential, market profile and financial strength, and the competitive ability and position of the combined company, and other statements identified by words such as “will,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “projects,” “plans,” “intends,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “seeks” and similar expressions, are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are beyond our control. These forward-looking statements are based upon the judgment and assumptions of SAIC and Engility or, following the merger, the combined company as of the date of such statements concerning future developments and events, many of which are beyond their control. These forward-looking statements, and the assumptions upon which they are based, (i) are not guarantees of future results, (ii) are inherently speculative and (iii) are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual events and results may differ materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or implied in those statements if one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect.

Forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including in the sections entitled “The Merger and the Stock Issuance—Certain Forecasts Prepared by SAIC,” “The Merger and the Stock Issuance—Certain Forecasts Prepared by Engility” and “Risk Factors.” Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include those set forth in SAIC’s and Engility’s filings with the SEC, including their respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended February 2, 2018 and December 31, 2017, as updated by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. These important factors also include those set forth under “Risk Factors” in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as well as, among others, risks and uncertainties relating to:

Due to these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the proposed merger or any other transaction described herein will in fact be completed in the manner described or at all. You should be aware that new factors may emerge from time to time and it is not possible for SAIC or Engility to identify all such factors nor can SAIC or Engility predict the impact of each such factor on the proposed transaction or the combined company. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this document. Unless legally required, SAIC and Engility undertake no obligation and each expressly disclaim any such obligation, to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise. Furthermore, any information about the intentions of SAIC, Engility or, following the merger, the combined company contained in any of their respective forward-looking statements reflect their intentions as of the date of such forward-looking statements, and are based upon, among other things, existing regulatory, technological, industry, competitive, economic and market conditions, and their assumptions as of such date. SAIC, Engility or, following the merger, the combined company may change their intentions, strategies or plans at any time and without notice, based upon any changes in such factors or assumptions or otherwise.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information included and incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed in the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the following risks before deciding whether to vote for the adoption and approval of the merger agreement, in the case of Engility stockholders, or for the issuance of shares of SAIC common stock in connection with the merger, in the case of SAIC stockholders. In addition, you should read and consider the risks associated with each of the businesses of SAIC and Engility because these risks will also affect the combined company. These risks can be found in SAIC’s and Engility respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K for fiscal years ended February 2, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively, both of which are filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. You should also read and consider the other information in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the other documents incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. See the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information,” beginning on page 156.

Risk Factors Relating to the Merger

The exchange ratio and the amount of the cash consideration are fixed and will not be adjusted in the event of any change in either SAIC’s or Engility’s stock price.

Upon the closing of the merger, each share of Engility common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.450 of a share of SAIC common stock. The exchange ratio was fixed in the merger agreement and will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of either SAIC common stock or Engility common stock. Changes in the price of SAIC common stock prior to the merger will affect the market value of the merger consideration that Engility stockholders will receive on the date of the merger. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors (many of which are beyond our control), including the following factors:

Under the merger agreement, there will be no adjustment to the per share merger consideration for changes in the market price of either shares of SAIC common stock or shares of Engility common stock, and neither company is permitted to terminate the merger agreement or resolicit the vote of SAIC stockholders or Engility stockholders solely because of changes in the market prices of either company’s stock. We encourage you to obtain current market quotations for shares of SAIC common stock and for shares of Engility common stock before voting.

Because the merger will be completed after the date of the special meetings, at the time of your special meeting, you will not know the exact market value of the SAIC common stock that Engility stockholders will receive upon completion of the merger. You should consider the following two risks:

special meeting, respectively. Therefore, while the number of SAIC common shares to be issued per Engility common share is fixed, SAIC stockholders cannot be sure that the market value of the consideration that will be paid to Engility stockholders upon completion of the merger will not increase.

Required regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected to be received or may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or cannot be met.

Completion of the merger is conditioned upon the expiration or termination of the waiting period applicable to the merger under the HSR Act. In deciding whether to grant some of these approvals, the relevant governmental entity will make a determination of whether, among other things, the merger is in the public interest. Although each party has agreed to use its respective reasonable best efforts to obtain the requisite governmental approvals, SAIC has agreed to take all action necessary with respect to obtaining HSR clearance, and Engility has agreed to cooperate with SAIC in that effort, there can be no assurance that these approvals will be obtained and that the other conditions to completing the merger will be satisfied. In addition, the governmental authorities from which the regulatory approvals are required may impose conditions on the completion of the merger or require changes to the terms of the merger or merger agreement. Such conditions or changes and the process of obtaining regulatory approvals could have the effect of delaying or impeding completion of the merger or of imposing additional costs or limitations on SAIC following completion of the merger, any of which might have an adverse effect on SAIC following completion of the merger.

In addition, neither SAIC nor Engility can provide any assurance that these conditions will not result in the abandonment of the merger. See “The Merger and the Stock Issuance—Regulatory Approvals” and “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Completion of the Merger.”

Failure to complete the merger could negatively affect the stock prices and the future business and financial results of SAIC and Engility.

If the merger is not completed, the ongoing businesses of Engility or SAIC may be adversely affected and SAIC and Engility will be subject to several risks, including the following:

In addition, if the merger is not completed, SAIC or Engility could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the merger or to perform their respective obligations under the merger agreement.

If the merger is not completed, SAIC and Engility cannot assure their stockholders that these risks will not materialize and will not materially affect the business, financial results and stock prices of SAIC or Engility.

The merger agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquirer of either Engility or SAIC or could result in any competing proposal being at a lower price than it might otherwise be.

The merger agreement contains “no-shop” provisions that, subject to limited exceptions, restrict Engility and SAIC’s ability to solicit, encourage, facilitate or discuss competing third-party proposals to acquire all or a significant part of Engility or SAIC. In addition, the other party generally has an opportunity to offer to modify the terms of the proposed merger in response to any competing acquisition proposals that may be made before such board of directors may withdraw or qualify its recommendation regarding the proposals described herein. In some circumstances on termination of the merger agreement, one of the parties may be required to pay a termination fee or expenses to the other party. See “The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation of Alternative Proposals,” “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement” and “The Merger Agreement—Termination Fees and Expenses; Liability for Breach.”

These provisions could discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of Engility or SAIC from considering or proposing that acquisition, even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a higher value than that market value proposed to be received or realized in the merger, or might result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower price than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee or expenses that may become payable in certain circumstances.

If the merger agreement is terminated and either SAIC or Engility attempts to seek another business merger, SAIC or Engility, as applicable, may not be able to negotiate a transaction with another party on terms comparable or better than the terms of the merger.

The pendency of the merger could adversely affect the business and operations of SAIC and Engility.

In connection with the merger, some customers or vendors of each of SAIC and Engility may delay or defer decisions or reduce their level of business with either or both of the companies, any of which could negatively affect the revenues, earnings, cash flows and expenses of SAIC and Engility, regardless of whether the merger is completed. Similarly, current and prospective employees of SAIC and Engility may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company following the merger, which may materially adversely affect the ability of each of SAIC and Engility to attract and retain key management, sales, marketing, operational and technical personnel during the pendency of the merger. In addition, due to operating covenants in the merger agreement, each of SAIC and Engility may be unable, during the pendency of the merger, to pursue strategic transactions, undertake significant capital projects, undertake certain significant financing transactions and otherwise pursue other actions that are not in the ordinary course of business, even if such actions would prove beneficial. Any of these effects could adversely affect the ability to generate revenue at anticipated levels prior to the completion of the merger. Moreover, the pursuit of the merger and the preparation for the integration of the companies may place a significant burden on the management and personnel of both companies. The diversion of management’s attention away from operating the companies in the ordinary course could adversely affect SAIC’s and Engility financial results.

Current SAIC stockholders and Engility stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest in the combined company after the merger.

SAIC expects to issue or reserve for issuance approximately 17,293,723 shares of SAIC common stock to Engility stockholders in connection with the merger (including shares of SAIC common stock to be issued in connection with outstanding Engility equity awards). Based on the number of shares of common stock of SAIC and Engility outstanding on                , 2018, the record date for the two companies’ special meetings of stockholders, and the relative stock prices of SAIC and Engility on such date, upon the completion of the merger, current SAIC stockholders and former Engility stockholders are expected to own approximately 72% and 28% of the common stock of SAIC, respectively.

SAIC stockholders and Engility stockholders currently have the right to vote for their respective directors and on other matters affecting their company. If and when the merger occurs, each Engility stockholder who receives shares of SAIC common stock will become a stockholder of SAIC with a percentage ownership of the combined company that will be smaller than the stockholder’s percentage ownership of Engility (without considering such stockholder’s current ownership of SAIC shares). Correspondingly, each SAIC stockholder will remain a stockholder of SAIC with a percentage ownership of the combined company that will be smaller than the stockholder’s percentage of SAIC prior to the merger (without considering such stockholder’s current ownership of Engility shares). As a result of these potentially reduced ownership percentages, SAIC stockholders will have less voting power in the combined company than they now have with respect to SAIC, and former Engility stockholders will have less voting power in the combined company than they now have with respect to Engility.

The shares of SAIC common stock to be received by Engility stockholders upon completion of the merger will have different rights from Engility common shares.

Upon completion of the merger, Engility stockholders will no longer be stockholders of Engility, but will instead become stockholders of SAIC, and their rights as SAIC stockholders will be governed by the terms of SAIC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as it may be amended from time to time, which is referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as SAIC’s certificate of incorporation, and SAIC’s amended and restated by-laws, as they may be amended from time to time, which are referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as SAIC’s by-laws. The terms of SAIC’s certificate of incorporation and SAIC’s by-laws are in some respects materially different than the terms of Engility’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as it may be amended from time to time, which is referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Engility’s certificate of incorporation, and Engility’s amended and restated by-laws, as they may be amended from time to time, which are referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Engility’s by-laws, which currently govern the rights of Engility stockholders. See “Comparison of Rights of Engility Stockholder and SAIC Stockholders” beginning on page 143 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus for a discussion of the different rights associated with Engility common shares and shares of SAIC common stock.

The market price of shares of SAIC common stock may be affected by factors different from those that historically have affected shares of Engility common stock and will continue to fluctuate after the merger.

Upon completion of the merger, holders of Engility common stock will become holders of SAIC common stock. The businesses of SAIC differ from those of Engility in certain respects, and, accordingly, the financial position or results of operations and/or cash flows of SAIC after the merger, as well as the market price of shares of SAIC common stock, may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the financial position or results of operations and/or cash flows of Engility. In addition, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations in recent times which, if they continue to occur, could have a material adverse effect on the market for, or liquidity of, the SAIC common stock, regardless of SAIC’s actual operating performance. As a result, the market price of shares of SAIC common stock may fluctuate significantly following completion of the merger, and holders of Engility common stock could lose some or all of the value of their investment in SAIC common stock.

Directors and executive officers of SAIC and Engility have financial interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, those of other SAIC stockholders and Engility stockholders, which could have influenced their decisions to support or approve the merger.

In considering whether to approve the proposals at the special meetings, SAIC and Engility stockholders should recognize that directors and executive officers of SAIC and Engility have interests in the merger that may differ from, or that are in addition to, their interests as stockholders of SAIC and stockholders of Engility. The SAIC Board and the Engility Board were aware of these interests at the time each approved the merger agreement. These interests may cause SAIC’s and Engility directors and executive officers to view the merger differently than you may view it as a stockholder. See “The Merger and the Stock Issuance—Financial Interests of SAIC Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” and “The Merger and the Stock Issuance—Financial Interests of Engility Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger.”

Financing of the merger is not assured.

SAIC has entered into a debt commitment letter pursuant to which Citibank, N.A. has committed to provide it with a new seven-year senior secured $1.05 billion Term Loan B structured as an incremental facility under its existing credit agreement. The proceeds of this new financing are necessary to enable SAIC to repay Engility’s existing credit facility and outstanding notes. Citibank, N.A. obligation to provide financing under the debt commitment letter, however, is subject to specified limited conditions, and SAIC cannot assure you that these conditions will be met. The closing of the merger is not conditioned on SAIC’s ability to obtain financing. If SAIC is unable to obtain financing pursuant to the debt commitment letter or otherwise, SAIC still could be required to close the merger resulting in a default under its and Engility’s existing credit agreements, or SAIC could be subject to claims under the merger agreement, each of which could have a material adverse effect on SAIC’s business. See “The Merger and the Stock Issuance—Financing Related to the Merger.”

The opinions obtained by the boards of SAIC and Engility from their respective financial advisors do not and will not reflect changes in circumstances after the date of such opinions.

The SAIC Board received written opinions dated September 9, 2018 from Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Stone Key, its financial advisors, that the merger consideration to be paid by SAIC was fair, from a financial point of view, to SAIC, as of such date, and based on and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth in such opinion, and, in addition, the Engility Board received a written opinion dated September 9, 2018 from Guggenheim Securities, its financial advisor, that the merger consideration to be paid to Engility stockholders was fair, from a financial point of view, to such stockholders, as of such date, subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other conditions contained in such opinion, and based on economic, capital markets and other conditions, and the information made available to Guggenheim Securities, as of the date of such opinion. Changes in the operations or prospects of SAIC or Engility, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of SAIC and Engility, and on which the above-described opinions were based, may alter the value of SAIC or Engility or the prices of shares of SAIC common stock or Engility common stock by the time the merger is completed. SAIC and Engility have not obtained, and do not expect to request, updated opinions from their respective financial advisors. None of the above-listed opinions speak to any date other than the date of such opinion. For a more complete description of the above-described opinions, please refer to “The Merger and the Stock Issuance—Opinions of SAIC’s Financial Advisors” and “The Merger and the Stock Issuance—Opinions of Engility’s Financial Advisors.”

Due to the merger, the ability of the combined company to use net operating losses to offset future taxable income may be restricted and these net operating losses could expire or otherwise be unavailable.

As of December 31, 2017, Engility had federal net operating loss carryforwards, or “NOLs”, of approximately $436 million and approximately $421 million of state NOLs. In general, under Section 382 of the Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its NOLs to offset future taxable income. If the merger is completed, Engility’s existing NOLs may be subject to limitations and SAIC may not be able to fully use these NOLs to offset future taxable income. In addition, if SAIC undergoes any subsequent ownership change, its ability to utilize NOLs could be further limited.

If the merger does not qualify as a “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. holders will be required to recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes at the time of the exchange of their Engility common stock for the merger consideration in the merger.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to U.S. holders (as defined under the heading “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”) will depend on whether the merger qualifies as a “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

As further described in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Completion of the Merger”, Engility’s obligation to effect the merger is subject to the satisfaction, or waiver by Engility, at or prior to the effective time of the merger, of the condition that Engility receive a written tax opinion from Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, legal counsel to Engility, dated as of the closing date of the merger, to the effect that the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. In the event that Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP does not render such tax opinion, and Engility does not otherwise waive this condition, the condition may be satisfied if Morrison & Foerster LLP, legal counsel to SAIC, renders such tax opinion.

There can be no assurance, that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) will not take a contrary position to views expressed herein or that a court will not agree with a contrary position of the IRS. If, contrary to the opinion, the merger fails to qualify as a reorganization or if any requirement for the merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code is not satisfied, a U.S. holder of Engility common stock generally would recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on each share of Engility common stock surrendered in the merger in an amount equal to the difference between (1) the fair market value of the merger consideration received in exchange for such surrendered share upon completion of the merger and (2) the holder’s basis in the share of Engility common stock surrendered. Any gain or loss recognized generally would be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period in a particular block of Engility common stock exceeds one year at the effective time. Long-term capital gain of non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) generally is taxed at reduced U.S. federal income tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. For a more complete discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, please carefully review the information set forth in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”.

Risk Factors Relating to SAIC Following the Merger

Operational Risks

SAIC expects to incur substantial expenses related to the merger.

SAIC expects to incur substantial expenses in connection with completing the merger and integrating the business, operations, networks, systems, technologies, policies and procedures of Engility with those of SAIC. There are a large number of systems that will likely be integrated, including management information, purchasing, accounting and finance, sales, payroll and benefits, fixed asset, lease administration and regulatory compliance. While SAIC has assumed that a certain level of transaction and integration expenses would be incurred, there are a number of factors beyond its control that could affect the total amount or the timing of its integration expenses. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately at the present time. Due to these factors, the transaction and integration expenses associated with the merger are likely in the near term to significantly reduce the savings that SAIC expects to achieve from the elimination of duplicative expenses and the realization of economies of scale and cost savings related to the integration of the businesses following the completion of the merger.

Following the merger, the combined company may be unable to integrate successfully the businesses of SAIC and Engility and realize the anticipated benefits of the merger.

The proposed transaction involves the merger of two companies which currently operate as independent public companies. The combined company will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the business practices and operations of SAIC and Engility. Potential difficulties the combined company may encounter in the integration process include the following:

For all these reasons, you should be aware that it is possible that the integration process could result in the distraction of the combined company’s management, the disruption of the combined company’s ongoing business or inconsistencies in the combined company’s products, services, standards, controls, procedures and policies, any of which could adversely affect the ability of the combined company to maintain relationships with customers, vendors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger, or could otherwise adversely affect the business and financial results of the combined company.

Other Risks

The agreements that will govern the indebtedness to be incurred in connection with the merger are expected to contain various covenants and other provisions that impose restrictions on the ability of SAIC and certain of its subsidiaries to operate their businesses.

Our existing credit agreement and the other agreements that will govern the indebtedness to be incurred by SAIC currently contain and are expected to continue to contain pledges of collateral, affiliate guarantees and various affirmative and negative covenants that, subject to certain significant exceptions, restrict the ability of SAIC and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, have liens on their property, incur additional indebtedness, enter into sale and lease-back transactions, make loans, advances or other investments, make non-ordinary course asset sales, declare or pay dividends or make other distributions with respect to equity interests, merge or consolidate with any other person or sell or convey certain of its assets to any one person, among various other things. The ability of SAIC and its subsidiaries to comply with certain of these provisions may be affected by events beyond their control. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, would permit SAIC’s lenders to accelerate SAIC’s debt repayment obligations and take other actions with respect to SAIC’s and its subsidiaries’ assets that serve as collateral for such obligations. In addition, our

existing credit agreement has a cross-default provision. If a default occurs under certain debt instruments, such default may cause a default under our existing credit agreement and have a wider impact on liquidity than might otherwise arise from a default of such single debt instrument

The historical and unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus may not be representative of SAIC’s results after the merger, and accordingly, you have limited financial information on which to evaluate the combined company.

SAIC and Engility will continue to operate as separate companies prior to the merger. SAIC and Engility have no prior history as a combined company. The historical financial statements of Engility may be different from those that would have resulted had Engility been operated as part of SAIC. The pro forma condensed combined financial information appearing elsewhere herein has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that actually would have occurred had the merger been completed as of the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of the future operating results or financial position of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects adjustments, which are based upon preliminary estimates, to allocate the aggregate consideration to Engility assets and liabilities. The aggregate consideration allocation reflected in the pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is preliminary, and the final allocation of the aggregate consideration will be based upon the actual aggregate consideration and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Engility as of the date of the completion of the merger. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not (i) reflect future events that may occur after the merger, including the incurrence of costs related to the planned integration of Engility, any future non-recurring charges resulting from the merger and any termination of contracts by customers as a direct result of the merger, and (ii) consider potential effects of future market conditions on revenues or expense efficiencies. The unaudited pro forma financial information presented in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is based in part on certain assumptions regarding the merger that SAIC believes are reasonable under the circumstances. SAIC cannot assure you that the assumptions will prove to be accurate over time.

If SAIC’s goodwill or other intangible assets become impaired, it may be required to record a significant charge to earnings and reduce its stockholders’ equity.

As of August 3, 2018, a significant portion of SAIC’s total consolidated assets reflected on the consolidated balance sheet incorporated by reference into this joint proxy/prospectus consisted of goodwill and intangible assets. Consummation of the merger is expected to result in SAIC recognizing additional goodwill and intangible assets on its consolidated balance sheet. See “Accounting Treatment.” Intangible assets with finite lives will be amortized using the method that best reflects how their economic benefits are utilized or, if a pattern of economic benefits cannot be reliably determined, on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will not be amortized, but instead tested for potential impairment annually. Intangible assets and goodwill will be assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If SAIC’s goodwill or other intangible assets are determined to be impaired in the future, it may be required to record additional significant, non-cash charges to earnings during the period in which the impairment is determined to have occurred.

The SAIC and Engility prospective financial information is inherently subject to uncertainties.

While presented with numeric specificity, the SAIC and Engility prospective financial information provided in this document was prepared based on numerous variables and assumptions (including, but not limited to, those related to industry performance and competition and general business, economic, market and financial conditions and additional matters specific to SAIC or Engility business, as applicable) that are inherently subjective and uncertain and are largely beyond the control of the respective management of each. As a result, actual results may differ from the prospective financial information. Important factors that may affect actual results and cause these projected financial forecasts to not be achieved include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to SAIC’s or Engility’s business, as applicable (including each company’s ability to achieve strategic goals, objectives and targets over

For more information see the sections entitled “The Merger and the Stock Issuance—Certain Forecasts Prepared by SAIC” beginning on page 89 and “The Merger and the Stock Issuance—Certain Forecasts Prepared by Engility” beginning on page 93.

SAIC and Engility may be targets of securities class action and derivative lawsuits which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the merger from being completed.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into merger agreements. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims could result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on SAIC’s and Engility’s respective liquidity and financial condition. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting completion of the merger, then that injunction may delay or prevent the merger from being completed, which may adversely affect SAIC’s and Engility’s respective business, financial position and results of operations.

Other Risk Factors of SAIC and Engility

SAIC’s and Engility businesses are, and will continue to be, subject to the risks described above. In addition, SAIC and Engility are, and will continue to be, subject to the risks described in SAIC’s and Engility’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended February 2, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively, as amended and as updated by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, all of which are filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

THE SAIC SPECIAL MEETING

Date, Time and Place

The special meeting of SAIC stockholders will be held at                      , on                      , 2019, at             local time.

Matters to be Considered

At the SAIC special meeting, SAIC stockholders will be asked to vote on:

Recommendation of the SAIC Board

The SAIC Board unanimously has determined that the merger, the merger agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the issuance of SAIC common stock to Engility stockholders in connection with the merger, are in the best interests of SAIC and the SAIC stockholders and has unanimously approved and adopted the merger agreement.

The SAIC Board unanimously recommends that the SAIC stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to issue shares of SAIC common stock to Engility stockholders in connection with the merger.

Record Date; Stock Entitled to Vote

Only holders of record of shares of SAIC common stock at the close of business on                   , 2018, the record date for the SAIC special meeting, will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the SAIC special meeting or any adjournments thereof. You may cast one vote for each share of common stock of SAIC that you owned on the record date.

On the record date, there were outstanding a total of                shares of SAIC common stock entitled to vote at the SAIC special meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies; Revocability of Proxies

In accordance with the merger agreement, the cost of proxy solicitation for the SAIC special meeting will be borne by SAIC, other than the expenses incurred by SAIC and Engility in connection with the filing, printing and mailing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, half of which expenses will be borne by each of SAIC and Engility. In addition to the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited by officers and directors and regular employees of SAIC, without additional remuneration, by personal interview, telephone, facsimile or otherwise. SAIC will also request brokerage firms, nominees, custodians and fiduciaries to forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares held of record on the record date and will provide customary reimbursement to such firms for the cost of forwarding these materials. SAIC has retained Georgeson LLC to assist in its solicitation of proxies and has agreed to pay them a fee of $18,000, plus reasonable expenses, for these services.

If you are a holder of record on the record date for the SAIC special meeting, you have the power to revoke your proxy at any time before your proxy is voted at the SAIC special meeting. You can revoke your proxy in one of three ways:

If you choose either of the first two methods, your notice of revocation or your new proxy must be received by SAIC’s Secretary, no later than the beginning of the SAIC special meeting. If you have voted your shares by telephone or through the Internet, you may revoke your prior telephone or Internet vote by recording a different vote using the telephone or Internet, or by signing and returning a proxy card dated as of a date that is later than your last telephone or Internet vote.

If your shares are held in street name by your broker or nominee, you should contact them to change your vote. Plan participants who wish to revoke their voting instructions must contact the applicable plan trustee and follow its procedures.

Quorum

Stockholders who hold a majority of the total voting power of SAIC common stock issued and outstanding at the close of business on the record date must be present or represented by proxy to constitute a quorum to conduct the SAIC special meeting, and stockholders holding a majority of the votes entitled to be cast with respect to the proposal to issue SAIC common stock in connection with the merger must be present or represented by proxy to constitute a quorum with respect to such proposal. All shares of SAIC common stock represented at the SAIC special meeting, including abstentions and broker non-votes (shares held by a broker or nominee that are represented at the meeting, but with respect to which the broker or nominee is not instructed by the beneficial owner of such shares to vote on the particular proposal), will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum to conduct the SAIC special meeting, but abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as not present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum with respect to the proposal to issue SAIC common stock in connection with the merger.

Vote Required

Under the SAIC bylaws, the issuance of SAIC common stock to Engility stockholders in connection with the merger requires approval by the affirmative vote of a majority in voting interest of the holders of SAIC common stock present in person or by proxy entitled to vote on such matter at the SAIC special meeting (provided that a quorum exists).

Approval of any proposal to adjourn the SAIC special meeting, if necessary, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies also requires approval by the affirmative vote of a majority in voting interest of the holders of SAIC common stock present in person or by proxy entitled to vote on such matter at the SAIC special meeting (provided that a quorum exists).

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

If you are an SAIC stockholder, abstentions have the effect of a vote against the stock issuance proposal and, if necessary, the adjournment proposal. Broker “non-votes” have no effect on the outcome of the stock issuance proposal or any adjournment proposal. Shares of common stock represented by properly executed, timely received and unrevoked proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated thereon. In the absence of specific instructions, properly executed, timely received and unrevoked proxies will be voted “FOR” each proposal. Your failure to cast a vote will also make it more difficult to meet the quorum requirement with respect to organizing the meeting, and your failure to cast a vote or your abstention from voting will make it more difficult to meet the quorum requirement with respect to the SAIC stock issuance proposal.

Voting Power of SAIC’s Directors and Executive Officers

On the record date, less than          % of the outstanding SAIC common shares were held by SAIC directors and executive officers and their respective affiliates. SAIC currently expects that SAIC’s directors and executive officers will vote their shares in favor of the issuance of SAIC common stock to Engility stockholders in connection with the merger.

Attending the SAIC Special Meeting

All holders of SAIC common stock, including stockholders of record and stockholders who hold shares through banks, brokers or other nominees, are invited to attend the SAIC special meeting. Stockholders of record can vote in person at the special meeting. If you plan to attend the special meeting, you must hold your shares in your own name or have a letter or an account statement issued by the record holder of your shares confirming your ownership, and you must bring a form of personal photo identification with you to be admitted. SAIC reserves the right to refuse admittance to anyone without proper proof of share ownership and without proper photo identification.

Voting of Proxies by Record Stockholders

A proxy card is enclosed for use by SAIC stockholders of record. SAIC requests that its record stockholders sign the accompanying proxy and return it promptly in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. You may also vote your shares by telephone or through the Internet. Information and applicable deadlines for voting by telephone or through the Internet are set forth on the enclosed proxy card. When the accompanying proxy is returned properly executed, the shares of SAIC common stock represented by it will be voted at the SAIC special meeting or any adjournment thereof in accordance with the instructions contained in the proxy.

If a proxy is signed and returned without an indication as to how the shares of SAIC common stock represented by the proxy are to be voted with regard to a particular proposal, the SAIC common stock represented by the proxy will be voted in favor of each such proposal. At the date hereof, SAIC management has no knowledge of any business that will be presented for consideration at the special meeting and which would be required to be set forth in this joint proxy statement/prospectus other than the matters set forth in SAIC’s accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders. In accordance with SAIC’s bylaws and Delaware law, business transacted at the SAIC special meeting will be limited to those matters set forth in such notice. Nonetheless, if any other matter is properly presented at the SAIC special meeting for consideration, it is intended that the persons named in the enclosed proxy and acting thereunder will vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matter.

Your vote is important. Accordingly, please sign and return the enclosed proxy card whether or not you plan to attend the SAIC special meeting in person.

Participants in the SAIC Retirement Plan

Each participant in the SAIC Retirement Plan has the right to instruct Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company, as trustee of the SAIC Retirement Plan (the “Trustee”), on a confidential basis, how to vote his or her proportionate interests in all shares of common stock held in the SAIC Retirement Plan. The Trustee will vote all shares held in the SAIC Retirement Plan for which no voting instructions are received in the same proportion as the shares for which voting instructions have been received by participants in the SAIC Retirement Plan. The Trustee’s duties with respect to voting the common stock in the SAIC Retirement Plan are governed by the fiduciary provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The fiduciary provisions of ERISA may require in certain limited circumstances that the Trustee override the votes of participants with respect to the common stock held by the Trustee.

Participants in the SAIC Stock Plans

Under the terms of SAIC’s Stock Compensation Plan, Management Stock Compensation Plan and Key Executive Stock Deferral Plan, Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company, as trustee of these stock plans, has the power to vote the shares of common stock held in these stock plans. Vanguard will vote all those shares in the same proportion that other SAIC stockholders collectively vote their shares of common stock. If you are a participant in these stock plans, you do not have the right to instruct Vanguard how to vote or to otherwise vote your proportionate interests in the shares of common stock held in these stock plans.

Shares Held in Street Name

If you hold your shares of SAIC stock in a stock brokerage account or if your shares are held by a bank or nominee (that is, in street name), you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares if you wish them to be counted. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee. Please note that you may not vote shares held in street name by returning a proxy card directly to SAIC or by voting in person at the SAIC special meeting. Further, brokers who hold shares of SAIC stock on behalf of their customers may not vote those shares without specific instructions from their customers.

If you hold your SAIC stock in street name and you do not instruct your broker on how to vote any of your shares, your broker may not vote those shares. For a discussion of the consequences of such broker non-votes, see “—Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes” beginning on page 38 of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

SAIC PROPOSAL I AND ENGILITY PROPOSAL I:
THE MERGER AND THE STOCK ISSUANCE

Effects of the Merger

Under the merger agreement, merger sub will merge with and into Engility. Engility will survive themerger and will thereby become a direct wholly owned subsidiary of SAIC.

In the merger, each outstanding share of Engility common stock share properly exercised pursuant toDelaware law will be converted at the effective time of the merger into the right to receive 0.450 of a shareof SAIC common stock for each share of Engility common stock owned at the effective time, with cashpaid in lieu of fractional shares. The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect stock pricechanges prior to closing of the merger. SAIC stockholders will continue to hold their existing SAIC shares.

Background of the Merger

The Engility Board, together with Engility’s management and with the assistance of Engility’s advisors, routinely reviews and assesses Engility’s operations, financial performance and competitive position in the context of developing Engility’s annual operating and long-term strategic plans.

Likewise, the SAIC Board, in concert with SAIC’s management team and advisors, also routinely reviews and assesses SAIC’s annual and long-term performance and growth strategies, including an ongoing analysis of potential activity in the context of mergers and acquisitions intended to improve SAIC’s competitive position, financial performance and shareholder returns. Engility was discussed as a potential acquisition target as part of these strategy meetings.

In February 2018, Mr. Anthony Moraco, Chief Executive Officer of SAIC, contacted Ms. Lynn Dugle, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Engility, to explore the possible merits of the two companies combining with each other. To facilitate the exchange of confidential information and further discussions, Engility and SAIC entered into a non-disclosure agreement on February 26, 2018 (which was subsequently amended on July 31, 2018). Following the execution of this agreement, the parties engaged in an initial exchange of information regarding their respective businesses. However, the initial exchange did not progress to substantive discussions and a potential transaction value was not discussed.

On May 23, 2018, the Engility Board convened a meeting with members of management in attendance. Mr. Jon Brooks, Engility’s Vice President of Mergers and Acquisitions, led a presentation to the Engility Board on a strategic review for Engility, which included a summary by Ms. Dugle of the preliminary discussions and information exchange between the members of Engility and SAIC management. Following these discussions, the Engility Board determined to appoint a strategy committee (the “Engility Strategy Committee”) to assist the Engility Board in identifying, reviewing and assessing strategic alternatives, including potential mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations. The Engility Board appointed Ms. Dugle, David Savner, David Kerko, David Topper and Peter Marino to the Engility Strategy Committee.

On June 6, 2018, the SAIC Board convened a regularly-scheduled meeting. As part of this meeting and in connection with its overall strategic planning, SAIC management provided the SAIC Board with an update on the exchange of information with Engility. The SAIC Board instructed Mr. Moraco and SAIC management to continue the initial discussions with Engility.

On June 8, 2018, representatives from a publicly-traded engineering, construction and government services firm, which we refer to as Company A, approached representatives from Engility to discuss the merits of a potential transaction.

On June 11, 2018, Ms. Dugle reported to the Engility Strategy Committee a discussion she had with Mr. Moraco earlier that day. Mr. Moraco indicated that the possibility of a transaction with Engility had been discussed with the SAIC Board the previous week, and that he was authorized to engage in further discussions. The Engility Strategy Committee was supportive of Ms. Dugle and Mr. Moraco continuing to exchange confidential information to help support Engility and SAIC’s analyses of the possible merits of a strategic combination of the two companies.

On June 13, 2018, Ms. Dugle had a meeting with the Chief Executive Officer of Company A to further discuss a potential business combination involving Company A and Engility.

On June 21, 2018, Ms. Dugle provided an update to the Engility Board regarding the progress of the discussions with SAIC and Company A. Ms. Dugle and other members of management recommended to the Engility Board that Engility formally engage Guggenheim Securities as its financial advisor in connection with its review of strategic alternatives and to assist Engility in soliciting potential interest from other bidders. Engility subsequently entered into an engagement letter with Guggenheim Securities on July 5, 2018.

On June 27, 2018, Ms. Dugle attended a dinner with Mr. Moraco and Donna Morea, a member of the SAIC Board.

On June 28, 2018, the Engility Strategy Committee held a meeting with members of Engility management, certain other members of the Engility Board and representatives from Guggenheim Securities. In connection with discussing the possibility of a strategic transaction, Guggenheim Securities and Engility reviewed a list of other potential acquirers that could complement Engility’s business and provide access to key customer segments where Engility was unrepresented.

At the direction of the Engility Strategy Committee, representatives of Guggenheim Securities contacted four potential strategic partners (in addition to Company A and SAIC) to discuss such companies’ interest in exploring a strategic transaction with Engility. These companies included: three companies in the pure-play government services industry and another company specializing in construction, engineering and government services. Following this outreach, one company in the government services industry, which we refer to as Company B and the company in the construction, engineering and government services industry, which we refer to as Company C, expressed their interest in conducting discussions to explore a potential strategic transaction with Engility.

On June 29, 2018, Ms. Dugle and Company A’s Chief Executive Officer held a call for a general status update on discussions regarding a potential transaction, including with respect to mutual due diligence.

On this same date, members of Engility management met with members of SAIC management in Washington, D.C. to provide an overview of each party’s respective business and discuss the merits of a potential combination of the two businesses.

Also on July 11, 2018, an article was published by Reuters stating that Engility may be exploring a potential strategic transaction and identified certain potentially interested parties. Following the release of the article, Engility’s stock price increased approximately 10.5% over the previous day’s price of $31.66.

On July 12, 2018, members of Engility’s management team met with representatives of Company B in Reston, Virginia, to provide an overview of each party’s respective business.

Also on July 12, 2018, the SAIC Board of Directors convened a meeting, which included members of SAIC Management and representatives of Citi, financial advisor to SAIC. As part of this meeting, Mr. Moraco led a discussion of Engility’s strategic fit within SAIC’s broader M&A strategy, as well as key takeaways from the July 11 meeting between SAIC and Engility. The SAIC Board then reviewed an illustrative timeline for upcoming steps in the potential transaction, as well as developments from SAIC’s internal research team on market reactions to speculation about Engility being engaged in a sale process. This discussion was followed by an overview of potential terms to be included in a preliminary, non-binding Letter of Interest, which the SAIC Board approved for submission to Engility. The management team of SAIC thereafter regularly provided updates to the SAIC Board on the status of the proposed transaction and status of due diligence.

From July 12, 2018 until the announcement of the transaction, Engility, SAIC and their respective advisors continued their respective due diligence with respect to the other party, which included, among other things, the review of materials made available by each party in electronic data rooms maintained by Engility, SAIC and their respective advisors.

Also on July 12, 2018, the Engility Strategy Committee held a meeting with other members of the Engility Board, members of Engility management and representatives of Guggenheim Securities and Weil in attendance. Representatives from Guggenheim Securities reviewed their outreach process and the schedule of meetings with each of SAIC, Company A, Company B and Company C. A discussion ensued regarding potential transaction structures, including forms of consideration and the implications of an all-cash, all-stock or mixed cash and stock transaction.

Also on July 12, 2018, representatives from Company A informed members of Engility management and Guggenheim Securities, and representatives from Company C informed Guggenheim Securities, that Company A and Company C, respectively, were no longer interested in pursuing a strategic transaction with Engility.

On July 13, 2018, at the direction of the Engility Strategy Committee, Guggenheim Securities delivered a first round process letter to SAIC requesting that SAIC submit a preliminary indication of interest on or before 5:00 pm Eastern Time Friday, July 20, 2018, and a first round process letter to Company B, requesting that Company B submit a preliminary indication of interest by 5:00 pm Eastern Time on or before Friday, July 20, 2018.

On July 16, 2018, SAIC entered into a formal letter of engagement with Citi to act as its financial advisor in connection with the potential transaction with Engility.

On July 17, 2018, SAIC submitted a preliminary, non-binding indication of interest to Engility offering all-stock consideration at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.436 of a share of SAIC common stock for each share of Engility common stock, which would result in pro forma ownership by Engility stockholders of approximately 27% of the combined company. SAIC’s offer equated to an implied offer price of $37.52 based on the July 17, 2018 closing price for SAIC’s common stock of $86.06 and indicated potential annual run-rate net cost synergies of approximately $75 million. SAIC also proposed that the SAIC Board would be increased to 11 members and include two current Engility directors.

On July 18, 2018, the Engility Strategy Committee held a meeting with members of the Engility Board, members of Engility management and representatives from Guggenheim Securities and Weil. Guggenheim Securities provided a preliminary high-level analysis of SAIC’s proposal including a sensitivity analysis at certain potential exchange ratios. A discussion ensued regarding Engility’s potential strategic fit with SAIC and the merits of an all-stock offer. The Engility Strategy Committee decided that Guggenheim Securities should continue to discuss the economic terms of SAIC’s proposal with Citi, and that Engility should continue the reciprocal diligence with SAIC.

On July 20, 2018, representatives from a financial sponsor with experience and multiple past and present portfolio companies in the aerospace and defense sector, which we refer to as Company D,

approached Guggenheim Securities to express its interest in exploring a potential transaction with Engility. A meeting of the Engility Strategy Committee was scheduled for July 23, 2018 to review Company D’s expression of interest and the strategic considerations with respect to engaging with Company D.

Also on July 20, 2018, Engility engaged Fairmont Consulting Group to conduct commercial due diligence and to support Engility’s evaluation of SAIC’s forecast and the evaluation of potential synergy opportunities between Engility and SAIC.

On July 23, 2018, Company B submitted a preliminary, non-binding indication of interest to Engility, with all-cash consideration at a range of $37.00-38.00 per share of Engility’s common stock. $37.50, the midpoint of the preliminary range offered by Company B, represented an 8.7% premium to Engility’s then-current trading prices, and an 18.4% premium to Engility’s unaffected stock price on July 11, 2018 (the day prior to the date the Reuters article was released).

The Engility Strategy Committee met on July 23, 2018 with members of the Engility Board and Engility management, along with representatives of Weil and Guggenheim Securities, in attendance. Representatives of Guggenheim Securities reported that Company B had submitted a preliminary indication of interest and they were in the process of reviewing it. Guggenheim Securities also informed the Engility Strategy Committee that Company D had expressed interest in exploring a transaction with Engility. Weil and Guggenheim Securities discussed with the Engility Strategy Committee the implications of a transaction with a financial sponsor in the process as compared to a transaction with a strategic buyer, particularly with respect to execution risk, deal certainty and considerations regarding synergies. After discussion, the Engility Strategy Committee concluded that it would be in Engility’s best interest to engage with Company D, and instructed management to negotiate a non-disclosure agreement with Company D and allow Company D to conduct preliminary diligence. Company D entered into a non-disclosure agreement with Engility on July 25, 2018 and met with members of Engility management on July 26, 2018.

On July 25, 2018, SAIC entered into a formal letter of engagement with Stone Key as a financial advisor to SAIC and to provide a fairness opinion in connection with the potential transaction with Engility.

On July 26, 2018, the Engility Board held a telephonic meeting with members of Engility management and representatives from Guggenheim Securities and Weil in attendance. Representatives of Weil reviewed with the Engility Board its fiduciary duties and standards of judicial review that are applicable in merger and acquisition transactions. Guggenheim Securities then reviewed the indications of interest received from SAIC and Company B. Guggenheim Securities noted that SAIC’s all-stock offer projected $75 million in annual run-rate net cost synergies. Guggenheim Securities also noted that Company B projected $46 million in net cost synergies and that Company B had identified organizational conflict of interest (“OCI”) risk which could require as much as $150 million of revenue to be divested. The Engility Board then discussed the complementary nature of Engility and SAIC’s businesses and noted that the organizations are culturally and operationally aligned. Representatives of Weil explained that, given that SAIC had submitted an all-stock offer and Company B had submitted an all-cash offer, it would be preparing two forms of merger agreement in order to be prepared for either form of transaction. The Engility Board instructed Engility management and Guggenheim Securities to continue negotiations with SAIC, Company B and Company D.

On August 3, 2018, Company D submitted a preliminary, non-binding initial indication of interest to Engility, with an all-cash consideration at a range of $35.00 - $39.00 per share of Engility’s common stock. At the direction of the Engility Strategy Committee, Guggenheim Securities subsequently communicated to Company D that its continued participation in the transaction process would be permitted only with a revised proposal that increased the lower end of the indication range to at least $37.00 per share. Company D submitted a revised proposal on August 8, 2018 that proposed a range of $37.00 - $39.00 per share of Engility’s common stock.

On August 9, 2018, the Engility Strategy Committee held a meeting with members of Engility management, members of the Engility Board and representatives of Weil and Guggenheim Securities. Guggenheim Securities provided an update on the status of discussions with each of SAIC, Company B and Company D. Guggenheim Securities noted that mutual diligence was underway with SAIC, including

via electronic data rooms and in person review sessions with representatives of their respective management teams and advisors. Guggenheim Securities further noted that one-way diligence with Company B was continuing and that Company D had commenced conducting diligence.

On August 10, 2018, the SAIC Board held a meeting with members of SAIC management present, along with representatives from Citi and Morrison & Foerster LLP, who we will refer to as “Morrison & Foerster”. Mr. Moraco led a discussion updating the SAIC Board on all events since the most recent board discussion and updating the Board on SAIC’s due diligence efforts with respect to Engility, including a preliminary assessment of due diligence findings to the Board. Mr. Moraco, with the assistance of Citi, then provided a presentation on SAIC management’s current preliminary financial analysis of Engility and the potential combined company. SAIC’s management team, with the assistance of Citi, then reviewed the key next steps for the transaction process with the SAIC Board.

On August 11, 2018, Company B informed Engility management that it would not be continuing in the transaction process due to its view of the OCI risk related to the transaction, which they believed was more significant than initially assumed.

On August 14, 2018, second-round process letters were distributed to SAIC and Company D, requesting that final bids be submitted on or before September 4, 2018 and that comments to the draft merger agreement be provided by August 27, 2018. The draft merger agreements were made available to SAIC and Company D on August 14, 2018.

On August 15, 2018, Mr. Moraco and Nazzic Keene of SAIC met with Ms. Dugle, Mr. Kerko, Mr. Topper, Mr. Savner, and Mr. Marino of Engility to discuss the strategic fit of the companies and other points on investment, integration, and growth strategies. The primary focus of the conversation was on business strategy, and there were no discussions on governance, specific pricing components, or transaction agreement terms.

On August 16, 2018, the Engility Strategy Committee held a meeting with members of Engility management and representatives of Weil and Guggenheim Securities. Guggenheim Securities confirmed that Company B would not be submitting a revised bid due to its assessment of OCI risk and provided an update on the status of discussions with SAIC and Company D and their respective diligence efforts.

On August 21, 2018, the SAIC Board held a meeting, which included members of SAIC management, and representatives of Citi and Morrison & Foerster in attendance. Mr. Moraco and Ms. Keene updated the Board on due diligence and transaction process that had occurred since the previous SAIC Board meeting. The due diligence review centered on revenue and profit considerations, human resources and talent considerations, and key considerations for the merger agreement based on diligence findings and the current transaction process. Mr. Moraco, with the assistance of Citi, then provided an updated financial analysis with respect to Engility and the potential combined company to the SAIC Board. The SAIC Board then reviewed next steps for the potential transaction, including a timeline and key financing considerations.

On August 23, 2018, the Engility Board held a meeting in Chantilly, Virginia with members of Engility management and representatives of Guggenheim Securities and Weil in attendance. Weil noted that SAIC had submitted a markup of the merger agreement the previous evening. Weil also reviewed with the Engility Board their fiduciary duties under Delaware law. Guggenheim Securities explained that Company D had not yet engaged legal or financial advisors and appeared to have conducted limited diligence to date. Guggenheim Securities then reviewed with the Engility Board its preliminary valuation analysis, including financial projections of Engility on a standalone and pro forma combined basis with SAIC. Members of Engility management and representatives of the Fairmont Consulting Group also reported on diligence findings and noted that SAIC had a strong portfolio fit with Engility. At the conclusion of the meeting, Weil and Guggenheim Securities were instructed to engage with SAIC’s legal and financial advisors to continue to negotiate the merger agreement and economic terms of a potential transaction.

From August 24-26, 2018, representatives of Weil and Guggenheim Securities had a number of discussions with members of Engility management and the Engility Strategy Committee to discuss points raised in SAIC’s comments to the draft merger agreement. In particular, Weil noted that SAIC had (i) requested that Birch Partners, Engility’s largest stockholder, enter into a voting agreement with SAIC to

agree to vote its shares in support of the potential transaction, (ii) deleted the provisions in the draft merger agreement prohibiting SAIC from responding to unsolicited third party offers to acquire SAIC, (iii) prohibited the Engility Board from terminating the merger agreement in the event that it changed its recommendation to stockholders to adopt the merger agreement, and (iv) included buyer favorable financing provisions and a reverse termination fee. Weil also noted that SAIC had proposed that both Engility’s termination fee and SAIC’s termination fee should be equal to 3.5% of Engility’s equity value and that two Engility directors would serve on the board of the combined company. Weil was directed to coordinate a call with SAIC’s legal counsel to discuss their comments to the draft merger agreement and to work with legal counsel to Birch Partners to prepare a form of voting agreement to provide to SAIC’s legal counsel. Weil sent the initial draft of the voting agreement to SAIC’s legal counsel on August 31, 2018.

On August 27, 2018, representatives of Weil contacted representatives from Morrison & Foerster to discuss their comments to the merger agreement. Weil confirmed that it was preparing a draft voting agreement which would be provided to SAIC. Weil then highlighted the key open issues in the merger agreement and Engility’s position on those points. Later on August 27, 2018, Weil sent a revised draft of the merger agreement to Morrison & Foerster.

On August 30, 2018, the Engility Strategy Committee held a meeting, with members of Engility management and representatives from Weil and Guggenheim Securities in attendance. Guggenheim Securities reported that Company D had not yet submitted comments to the merger agreement, although it had not given notification that it did not plan to submit a final offer. Weil summarized a number of open points in the merger agreement and Engility’s response to those points in the draft merger agreement sent to SAIC, including: the reinsertion of Engility’s termination right in the event that the Engility Board changed its recommendation to stockholders to vote to adopt the merger agreement; the deletion of SAIC’s fiduciary’s exception for itself from the non-solicitation provisions in the event a third party acquisition proposal was received; the proposal that three of Engility’s directors would serve on the board of the combined company; the proposal that termination fees should be tied to each parties’ respective equity value and the deletion of the reverse termination fee. At the direction of the Engility Strategy Committee, Weil undertook to continue to negotiate with Morrison & Foerster to seek to resolve the open points.

On August 30, 2018, Morrison & Foerster sent a revised draft of the merger agreement to Weil. On August 31, 2018 and September 1, 2018 representatives of Weil and Guggenheim Securities held discussions with members of Engility management to discuss the remaining open issues in the merger agreement.

On August 31, 2018, the SAIC Board held a meeting, which included members of SAIC management, and representatives of Citi and Morrison & Foerster in attendance. Mr. Moraco provided an update on the negotiations and the key points that remained open in the merger agreement. The SAIC management team also reported on the status of due diligence efforts and integration planning. Mr. Moraco, with the assistance of Citi, then presented the Board with an updated financial analysis with respect to Engility and the potential combined company. Citi then provided the SAIC Board with an update on the transaction process and the direction as provided by the Engility team with respect to providing best and final offers. After discussion, the SAIC Board authorized SAIC management to revise its offer up to 28% post-merger ownership to Engility stockholders, and instructed SAIC management on the remaining open issues in the merger agreement, including offering two board seats to Engility directors.

On September 1, 2018, Weil had a call with Morrison & Foerster to discuss certain points raised in SAIC’s recent draft of the merger agreement, particularly with respect to Engility’s termination right in the event of a change in the Engility Board’s recommendation, SAIC’s ability to engage with unsolicited third party offers, the size of each company’s termination fees and the number of Engility’s seats on the board of the combined company. Morrison & Foerster noted that it had reviewed the draft voting agreement, and among other revisions, SAIC planned to insert “standstill” obligations and delete Birch Partners termination right in the event that the Engility Board changed its recommendation that Engility stockholders adopt the merger agreement. On September 2, 2018, Morrison & Foerster sent a revised draft of the voting agreement to Weil.

On September 4, 2018, SAIC submitted a revised indication of interest to Guggenheim Securities offering a fixed exchange ratio of 0.450 of a share of SAIC common stock in exchange for each share of Engility common stock, which would result in pro forma ownership by Engility stockholders of approximately 28% of the combined company. SAIC’s offer equated to an implied offer price of $40.96 based on the September 4, 2018 closing price for SAIC’s common stock and indicated potential annual run-rate net cost synergies of approximately $75 million. SAIC also proposed that the SAIC Board would be increased to 11 members and include two current Engility directors. Along with its indication of interest, SAIC requested that Engility negotiate exclusively with SAIC for a one-week period and provided a draft exclusivity agreement. Later that day, Company D informed Guggenheim Securities that it did not intend to submit a final bid.

On September 5, 2018, the Engility Board held a telephonic meeting with members of Engility management as well as representatives of Guggenheim Securities and Weil in attendance. Guggenheim Securities presented SAIC’s revised offer to the Engility Board and SAIC’s request for exclusivity. Guggenheim Securities explained that an exchange ratio of 0.450 represented a per share price of $40.96 based on the then-current SAIC per share price (which represented an 18.5% premium to Engility’s then-current price, and a 29.4% premium to Engility’s unaffected stock price on July 11, 2018 (the day the Reuters article was released)). This exchange ratio also equated to an implied ownership for Engility stockholders in the combined company of 28.0%. A discussion ensued among the Engility Board and its advisors regarding the adequacy of the offer and whether the Company should counter with a proposal of an exchange ratio of 0.460. Weil reviewed with the Engility Board the open points in the merger agreement and voting agreement and discussed a potential path to resolution with SAIC. Weil and Guggenheim Securities discussed a proposal on the size of termination fees for each of SAIC and Engility. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Engility Board determined that it would not agree to enter into an exclusivity agreement with SAIC and instructed Guggenheim Securities to continue to negotiate with Citi on economic points, including requesting a higher exchange ratio and Weil to continue to negotiate the open points in the merger agreement.

Over the course of September 6 and 7, 2018, Guggenheim Securities engaged in negotiations with Citi in an attempt to increase the exchange ratio.

On September 7, 2018, the Engility Board held a telephonic meeting with members of Engility management and representatives from Guggenheim Securities and Weil. Representatives from Weil noted that they had reached resolution with Morrison & Foerster on the open points in the merger agreement, and the Engility Board indicated that it agreed with the compromise position. In particular, Weil explained that Engility would accept SAIC’s deletion of Engility’s right to terminate the merger agreement in order to enter into an agreement with an unsolicited third party bidder that the Engility Board determines constitutes a superior proposal, however, this acceptance was conditioned on including an automatic termination provision in the voting agreement upon the Engility Board’s change in recommendation that Engility stockholders vote to adopt the merger agreement. Additionally, SAIC would retain the right to respond to an unsolicited proposal only if such proposal provided for SAIC to consummate the merger with Engility first. Weil also noted that SAIC had agreed to the proposal regarding the size of each company’s termination fee.

Ms. Dugle reported a discussion she had with Mr. Moraco during which she had proposed an exchange ratio of 0.460 of a share of SAIC common stock for each share of Engility common stock. Mr. Moraco explained that 0.450 was SAIC’s best and final offer and SAIC had no further room to negotiate. Guggenheim Securities also reported on its discussions with Citi and noted, as directed by the SAIC Board, that Citi also stated that SAIC would not agree to an increase in the proposed 0.450 exchange ratio. The Engility Board then engaged in a discussion of the optimal negotiation strategy going forward. After discussion, the Engility Board instructed Guggenheim Securities to make another attempt to negotiate an increase in the exchange ratio with Citi, and if it was unsuccessful to proceed based on SAIC’s current exchange ratio of 0.450. Guggenheim Securities indicated that, if requested, it was prepared to render its fairness opinion with respect to an exchange ratio of 0.450.

Following the meeting on September 7, 2018, Guggenheim Securities engaged in negotiations with Citi in an attempt to increase the exchange ratio. From that evening through the morning of September 9, 2018, Weil and Morrison & Foerster exchanged drafts of documents and held calls to resolve the remaining open points the merger agreement, voting agreement and disclosure schedules.

On September 9, 2018, the SAIC Board convened a special meeting with members of SAIC management present and representatives of Citi, Stone Key, and Morrison & Foerster in attendance. The SAIC Board was provided with materials from Citi and Stone Key prior to the meeting relating to each financial advisor’s review of the proposed transaction, along with proposed resolutions in connection with the potential transaction. The SAIC directors were advised of their fiduciary duties in connection with the potential transaction. Representatives from Citi and Stone Key then each independently led a presentation to the SAIC Board setting forth each of their respective financial analyses of the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and rendered their respective oral opinions (which were subsequently confirmed in writing) to the SAIC Board to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion, and based upon and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth therein, the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to SAIC. Representatives of Citi, at the request of the SAIC Board, also reviewed with the SAIC Board information regarding Citi’s relationships with each of SAIC and Engility, which information Citi had previously provided to SAIC. Representatives from Morrison & Foerster presented the final terms of the merger agreement, voting agreement, and other transaction documents to the directors. Representatives from Citi reviewed the terms of the debt commitment letter and credit facility with the directors. After review and discussion, the SAIC Board unanimously adopted resolutions approving the merger agreement and the merger, the execution of the merger agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and declaring advisable and recommending that the SAIC stockholders vote to approve and adopt the stock issuance in connection with the proposed merger.

On September 9, 2018, the Engility Board held a telephonic meeting with members of Engility management and representatives of Weil and Guggenheim Securities. Prior to the meeting, the directors were provided with materials from Weil and Guggenheim Securities relating to their review of the proposed transaction and proposed resolutions in connection with the potential transaction. Representatives from Weil reviewed with the Engility Board its fiduciary duties and updated the Engility Board on the final terms of the merger agreement, voting agreement and related documents. Guggenheim Securities reviewed with Engility’s board of directors Guggenheim Securities’ financial analysis of the exchange ratio and rendered an oral opinion, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated September 9, 2018, to Engility’s board of directors to the effect that, as of that date and based on and subject to the matters considered, the procedures followed, the assumptions made and various limitations of and qualifications to the review undertaken, the exchange ratio in connection with the merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Engility stockholders. Representatives of Weil then reviewed with the Engility Board the resolutions in connection with the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. After discussion, the Engility Board unanimously adopted resolutions approving the merger agreement and the merger, the execution of the merger agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and declaring advisable and recommending that the Engility stockholders vote to approve and adopt the merger agreement.

Later on September 9, 2018, Engility and SAIC executed the merger agreement. On September 10, 2018, SAIC and Engility issued a joint press release announcing the merger agreement.

The contemplated business combination is likely to be consummated due to the commitments by both Engility and SAIC to complete the merger, as well as other indicators including:

In the course of its deliberations regarding the merger, the Engility Board also considered the following factors and risks, which it determined did not outweigh the expected benefits to Engility and its stockholders:

The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by the Engility Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather includes the principal factors considered by the Engility Board. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger and the complexity of these

matters, the Engility Board did not find it useful and did not attempt to quantify or assign any relative or specific weights to the various factors that it considered in reaching its determination to approve the merger and the merger agreement and to make its recommendations to Engility stockholders. In addition, individual members of the Engility board may have given differing weights to different factors. The Engility Board conducted an overall review of the factors described above, including thorough discussions with Engility’s management and outside legal and financial advisors.

In considering the recommendation of the Engility Board to approve the merger proposal, Engility stockholders should be aware that Engility’s directors may have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of Engility stockholders generally. For additional information, see the section under the caption “Financial Interests of Engility Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 86.

The explanation of the reasoning of the Engility board and certain information presented in this section are forward-looking in nature and, therefore, the information should be read in light of the factors discussed in the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 23.

Opinions of SAIC’s Financial Advisors

Opinion of Citi

SAIC has engaged Citi to act as its financial advisor in connection with the proposed merger. In connection with Citi’s engagement, the SAIC board of directors requested that Citi evaluate the fairness, from a financial point of view, to SAIC of the exchange ratio. On September 9, 2018, at a meeting of the SAIC board of directors held to evaluate the proposed merger and at which the merger agreement was approved, Citi rendered an oral opinion, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated September 9, 2018, to the SAIC board of directors to the effect that, as of such date and based on and subject to various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken by Citi as set forth in its written opinion, the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to SAIC.

The full text of Citi’s written opinion, dated September 9, 2018, which describes the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken, is attached as Annex C to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated into this joint proxy statement/prospectus by reference. The description of Citi’s opinion set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Citi’s opinion. Citi’s opinion was provided for the information of the SAIC board of directors (in its capacity as such) in connection with its evaluation of the exchange ratio from a financial point of view to SAIC and did not address any other terms, aspects or implications of the merger. Citi expressed no view as to, and its opinion did not address, the underlying business decision of SAIC to effect the merger, the relative merits of the merger as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might exist for SAIC or the effect of or on any other transaction which SAIC might engage. Citi’s opinion is not intended to be and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote or act on any matters relating to the proposed merger or any related matter.

In arriving at its opinion, Citi:

In rendering its opinion, Citi assumed and relied, without independent verification, upon the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information and data publicly available or provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with Citi and upon the assurances of the respective managements of SAIC and Engility that they were not aware of any relevant information that was omitted or that remained undisclosed to Citi. With respect to the forecasts and the synergies, Citi was advised by the respective managements of SAIC and Engility that they were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the respective managements of SAIC and Engility as to the future financial performance of SAIC and Engility, the potential strategic implications and operational benefits (including the amount, timing and achievability thereof) anticipated by SAIC’s management to result from the merger and the other matters covered thereby, and Citi assumed, with SAIC’s consent, that the financial results (including the potential strategic implications and operational benefits anticipated to result from the merger) reflected in the forecasts and the synergies will be realized in the amounts and at the times projected. The issuance of Citi’s opinion was authorized by Citi’s fairness opinion committee.

Citi assumed, with SAIC’s consent, that the merger would be consummated in accordance with its terms, without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement, and that, in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory or third party approvals, consents and releases for the merger, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition would be imposed that would have an adverse effect on SAIC, Engility or the contemplated benefits to SAIC of the merger. Citi did not express any opinion as to what the value of the SAIC Common Stock actually will be when issued pursuant to the merger or the price at which the SAIC Common Stock will trade at any time. Citi did not make, and it was not provided with, an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of SAIC or Engility and Citi did not make any physical inspection of the properties or assets of SAIC or Engility. Citi expressed no view as to, and its opinion did not address, the underlying business decision of SAIC to effect the merger, the relative merits of the merger as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might exist for SAIC or the effect of or on any other transaction in which SAIC might engage. Citi also expressed no view as to, and its opinion did not address, the fairness (financial or otherwise) of the amount or nature or any other aspect of any compensation or other consideration to any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the merger, or any class of such persons, relative to the exchange ratio. Citi’s opinion was necessarily based upon information available to Citi, and financial, stock market and other conditions and circumstances existing, to Citi as of the date of its opinion.

In preparing its opinion, Citi performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses, including those described below. The summary of these analyses is not a complete description of Citi’s opinion or the analyses underlying, and factors considered in connection with, Citi’s opinion. The preparation of a

financial opinion is a complex analytical process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, a financial opinion is not readily susceptible to summary description. Citi arrived at its opinion based on the results of all analyses undertaken by Citi and factors assessed as a whole, and it did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any one factor or method of analysis for purposes of its opinion. Accordingly, Citi believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of such analyses and factors or focusing on information presented in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the narrative description of the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying such analyses and its opinion.

In its analyses, Citi considered industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters existing as of the date of its opinion, many of which are beyond the control of SAIC and Engility. No company, business or transaction reviewed is identical or directly comparable to SAIC, Engility or the merger and an evaluation of these analyses is not entirely mathematical; rather, the analyses involve complex considerations and judgments concerning financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the public trading, acquisition or other values of the companies, businesses or transactions reviewed or the results from any particular analysis.

The estimates contained in Citi’s analyses and the ranges resulting from any particular analysis are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such analyses. In addition, analyses relating to the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold or acquired. Accordingly, the estimates used in, and the results derived from, Citi’s analyses are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty.

Citi was not requested to, and it did not, recommend or determine the specific consideration payable in the merger. The type and amount of consideration payable in the merger was determined through negotiations between SAIC and Engility and the decision to enter into the merger agreement was solely that of the SAIC board of directors. Citi’s opinion was only one of many factors considered by the SAIC board of directors in its evaluation of the merger and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the SAIC board of directors or SAIC’s management with respect to the merger or the exchange ratio.

Financial Analyses

The summary of the financial analyses described below under this heading “—Financial Analyses” is a summary of the material financial analyses prepared and reviewed with the SAIC board of directors in connection with Citi’s opinion, dated September 9, 2018. The summary set forth below does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed by, and underlying the opinion of, Citi, nor does the order of the financial analyses described represent the relative importance or weight given to those financial analyses by Citi. Certain financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary as the tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. Considering the data in the tables below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the financial analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of such financial analyses. Citi assumes no responsibility if future results are different from those described, whether or not any such difference is material. Financial data utilized for SAIC and Engility in the financial analyses described below, to the extent based on financial forecasts and estimates of SAIC’s or Engility’s management, were based on the forecasts, which SAIC directed Citi to use.

In calculating the implied exchange ratio reference ranges as reflected in the financial analyses described below, Citi divided the low-ends (or high-ends, as the case may be) of the approximate implied equity value reference ranges derived for Engility from such analyses by the high-ends (or low-ends, as the case may be) of the approximate implied equity value reference ranges derived for SAIC from such analyses in order to calculate the low-ends (or high-ends) of the implied exchange ratio reference ranges.

Selected Public Companies Analyses.

Citi performed separate selected public companies analyses of Engility and SAIC in which Citi reviewed certain financial and stock market information relating to Engility, SAIC and the selected publicly traded companies listed below.

Engility. In its selected public companies analysis of Engility, Citi reviewed certain financial and stock market information relating to Engility and the following four selected entities that Citi considered generally relevant as publicly traded companies with operations in the government information technology services industry, which are collectively referred to as the “Engility selected companies”:

Citi reviewed, among other information, closing stock prices (as of September 7, 2018), as a multiple of calendar year 2018 and calendar year 2019 estimated earnings per share, adjusted to exclude one-time, non-recurring items and amortization expense, which we refer to as adjusted EPS. Citi also reviewed estimated firm value, calculated as equity value (based on closing stock prices of the Engility selected companies on September 7, 2018) plus debt, less cash and cash equivalents and other adjustments, which we refer to as “FV,” as a multiple of [projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding one-time, non-recurring items, which we refer to as “adjusted EBITDA”, for calendar year 2018 and calendar year 2019. Financial data of the Engility selected companies were based on publicly available Wall Street research analysts’ estimates, public filings and other publicly available information. Financial data of Engility was based on the forecasts, publicly available Wall Street research analysts’ estimates, public filings and other publicly available information.

The overall low to high calendar year 2018 and calendar year 2019 estimated FV to adjusted EBITDA multiples and overall low to high calendar year 2018 and calendar year 2019 estimated stock price to adjusted EPS multiples observed for the Engility selected companies were as follows:

Citi observed that the calendar year 2018 and calendar year 2019 estimated FV to adjusted EBITDA multiples for Engility were 12.7x and 12.6x, respectively, based on publicly available Wall Street research analysts’ estimates.

Citi observed that the calendar year 2018 and calendar year 2019 estimated stock price to adjusted EPS multiples for Engility were 18.1x and 16.8x, respectively, based on publicly available Wall Street research analysts’ estimates. Citi then applied the following selected ranges of calendar years 2018 and 2019 estimated FV to adjusted EBITDA multiples and calendar year 2018 and 2019 estimated stock price to adjusted EPS multiples, each derived from the Engility selected companies and based on Citi’s professional judgment and experience, to corresponding data of Engility based on the forecasts:

From this analysis, using its professional judgment, Citi derived an implied average equity value reference range for Engility of $1.294 billion to $1.786 billion.

SAIC. In its selected public companies analysis of SAIC, Citi reviewed certain financial and stock market information relating to SAIC and the following four selected entities that Citi considered generally relevant as publicly traded companies with operations in the government information technology services industry, which are collectively referred to as the “SAIC selected companies”:

Citi reviewed, among other information, closing stock prices (as of September 7, 2018), as a multiple of calendar year 2018 and calendar year 2019 estimated adjusted EPS. Citi also reviewed estimated FV as a multiple of adjusted EBITDA, for calendar year 2018 and calendar year 2019. Financial data of the SAIC selected companies were based on publicly available Wall Street research analysts’ estimates, public filings and other publicly available information. Financial data of SAIC was based on the forecasts, publicly available Wall Street research analysts’ estimates, public filings and other publicly available information.

The overall low to high calendar year 2018 and calendar year 2019 estimated FV to adjusted EBITDA multiples and overall low to high calendar year 2018 and calendar year 2019 estimated stock price to adjusted EPS multiples observed for the SAIC selected companies were identical to the corresponding multiples observed for the Engility selected companies discussed above.

Citi observed that the calendar year 2018 and calendar year 2019 estimated FV to adjusted EBITDA multiples for SAIC were 14.8x and 13.9x, respectively, based on publicly available Wall Street research analysts’ estimates, and the calendar year 2018 and calendar year 2019 estimated stock price to adjusted EPS multiples for SAIC were 20.3x and 18.5x, respectively, based on publicly available Wall Street research analysts’ estimates. Citi then applied the following selected ranges of calendar years 2018 and 2019 estimated FV to adjusted EBITDA multiples and calendar year 2018 and 2019 estimated stock price to adjusted EPS multiples, each derived from the SAIC selected companies and based on Citi’s professional judgment and experience, to corresponding data of SAIC based on the forecasts:

From this analysis, using its professional judgment, Citi derived an implied average equity value reference range for SAIC of $3.258 billion to $4.391 billion.

Utilizing the selected approximate implied average equity value reference range derived for SAIC and the selected approximate implied average equity value reference range derived for Engility, in each case as described above, Citi calculated the following implied exchange ratio reference range, as compared to the exchange ratio:

Citi noted that the exchange ratio was within the implied exchange ratio reference range derived from the selected public companies analyses of Engility and SAIC.

Discounted Cash Flow Analyses.

Citi performed separate discounted cash flow analyses of Engility and SAIC.

Engility. With respect to Citi’s discounted cash flow analysis of Engility, Citi calculated the estimated present value of the unlevered, after-tax free cash flows that Engility was forecasted to generate during the last six months of fiscal year 2018 through fiscal year 2022, based on the forecasts. The estimated

range of terminal values of Engility was calculated by applying a selected range of perpetuity growth rates of 2.0% to 2.5% to Engility’s estimated unlevered, after-tax free cash flows for the terminal year, as provided by SAIC’s management. The forecasted unlevered, after-tax free cash flows for Engility for the last six months of fiscal year 2018 through fiscal year 2022 and the derived range of terminal values were then discounted to present values, as of June 30, 2018, using discount rates ranging from 8.6% to 9.8%, which Citi derived based on estimates of Engility’s weighted average cost of capital. The present values of the unlevered, after-tax free cash flows and the range of derived terminal values were then adjusted for Engility’s net debt and minority interest balances as of June 29, 2018, and Engility’s post-tax underfunded pension and defined benefit liability as of December 31, 2017, income tax liabilities and certain tax attributes, as provided by SAIC’s management, to derive an implied reference range of equity values for Engility of $907 million to $1.336 billion.

SAIC. With respect to Citi’s discounted cash flow analysis of SAIC, Citi calculated the estimated present value of the unlevered, after-tax free cash flows that SAIC was forecasted to generate during the last six months of fiscal year 2019 through fiscal year 2023, based on the forecasts. The estimated range of terminal values of SAIC was calculated by applying a selected range of perpetuity growth rates of 2.0% to 2.5% to SAIC’s estimated unlevered, after-tax free cash flows for the terminal year, as provided by SAIC’s management. The forecasted unlevered, after-tax free cash flows for SAIC for the last six months of fiscal year 2019 through fiscal year 2023 and the derived range of terminal values were then discounted to present values, as of July 31, 2018, using discount rates ranging from 7.8% to 8.9%, which Citi derived based on estimates of SAIC’s weighted average cost of capital. The present values of the unlevered, after-tax free cash flows and the range of derived terminal values were then adjusted for SAIC’s net debt balance as of August 3, 2018 as provided by SAIC’s management, to derive an implied reference range of equity values for SAIC of $3.194 billion to $4.329 billion.

Utilizing the selected approximate implied equity value reference range derived for SAIC and the selected approximate implied equity value reference range derived for Engility, in each case as described above, Citi calculated the following implied exchange ratio reference range, as compared to the exchange ratio:

Citi noted that the exchange ratio was within the implied exchange ratio reference range derived from the discounted cash flow analyses of Engility and SAIC.

Certain Additional Information

Citi also observed certain additional factors that were not considered part of Citi’s financial analyses with respect to its opinion but were noted for informational purposes for the SAIC board of directors, including the following:

Illustrative Pro Forma Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Citi performed, for informational reference, an illustrative discounted cash flow analysis of the pro forma combined company in which Citi calculated the estimated present value (as of January 31, 2019) of the standalone unlevered, after-tax free cash flows that the pro forma combined company was forecasted to generate during the fiscal years ending January 31, 2020 through January 31, 2023 based on the forecasts, after taking into account the synergies. Citi performed this illustrative analysis by generally utilizing the methodology described in the section above under “—Discounted Cash Flow Analyses” and by applying estimates of SAIC’s weighted average cost of capital. This indicated an approximate implied equity value reference range for the pro forma combined company of $83.80 to $114.39 per share, which indicated an incremental dollar value range of $11.03 to $16.24 per share of SAIC Common Stock as compared to SAIC on a standalone basis. Actual results achieved by the combined company may vary from forecasted results and variations may be material.

Illustrative Discounted Cash Flow Analysis of Engility Including Synergies. Citi performed, for informational reference, an illustrative discounted cash flow analysis of Engility including the synergies in which Citi calculated the estimated present value (as of June 30, 2018) of the standalone unlevered, after-tax free cash flows that Engility was forecasted to generate during the last six months of fiscal year

2018 through fiscal year 2022, based on the forecasts, after taking into account the synergies. Citi performed this illustrative analysis by generally utilizing the methodology described in the section above under “—Discounted Cash Flow Analyses” and by applying estimates of Engility’s weighted average cost of capital. This indicated an approximate implied equity value reference range for Engility of $40.15 to $55.90 per share.

Selected Precedent Transactions Analysis. Citi performed, for informational reference, a selected precedent transactions analysis for Engility. Using publicly available information, Citi reviewed financial data relating to the following four selected transactions that Citi considered generally relevant as transactions announced since March 2015 involving companies with operations in the government information technology services industry, collectively referred to in this section as the “selected transactions”:

Citi reviewed, among other information, adjusted firm values of the selected transactions, calculated as the purchase prices paid for the target companies’ equity plus debt, less cash and cash equivalents and other adjustments, as multiples, to the extent publicly available, of the last twelve months’ EBITDA for the twelve months prior to the announcement of each transaction. The observed low to high multiples referenced in such analysis for the selected transactions were 10.2x to 12.3x. Based on its professional judgment and taking into consideration the observed multiples for the selected transactions, Citi then applied a selected range of multiples of 10.2x to 12.3x to Engility’s last twelve months’ adjusted EBITDA at June 29, 2018 of $171 million, which was based on public filings and which was further adjusted by SAIC’s management. Financial data of the selected transactions were based on publicly available information. From this analysis, using its professional judgment, Citi derived an implied equity value reference range for Engility of $990 million to $1.349 billion.

Precedent Premiums Paid Analysis. Citi also observed, for informational purposes, the first quartile, median and third quartile one-day unaffected premiums paid in precedent all-stock transactions announced since January 2010 (with transaction values greater than $500 million) that Citi deemed appropriate in its professional judgment. The analysis indicated first quartile and third quartile one-day unaffected premiums of 8.3% to 30.9% (with a median of 18.2%). Citi then calculated an illustrative per share equity value reference range of $34.30 to $41.45 (rounded to the nearest $0.05) using the closing price of shares of common stock of Engility of $31.66 per share on July 11, 2018 (the day prior to media reports that Engility was exploring a potential sale).

Historical Stock Prices. Citi also observed, for informational purposes, historical stock prices of shares of common stock of Engility during the 52-week period ended September 7, 2018, which indicated during such period low and high closing prices for shares of common stock of Engility of approximately $21.19 and $37.76 per share.

Equity Research Analysts’ Price Targets. Citi also observed, for informational purposes, publicly available Wall Street research analysts’ one-year forward price targets for shares of common stock of Engility, which indicated an overall low to high target stock price range for shares of common stock of Engility of $26.00 to $40.00 per share. Citi also observed that the range of such targets, discounted one year at a 10.2% cost of equity, was $23.60 to $36.30 (rounded to the nearest $0.05).

Miscellaneous

SAIC has agreed to pay Citi for its services in connection with the proposed merger an aggregate fee of $18.5 million, $3.0 million of which became payable upon delivery of Citi’s opinion and $15.5 million of which is payable contingent upon consummation of the merger. In addition, SAIC agreed to reimburse Citi for Citi’s expenses, including fees and expenses of outside legal counsel, and to indemnify Citi and related parties against certain liabilities, including liabilities under federal securities laws, arising out of Citi’s engagement.

As the SAIC board of directors was aware, Citi and its affiliates in the past have provided, currently are providing and in the future may provide investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services to SAIC unrelated to the proposed merger, for which services Citi and its affiliates received and expect to receive compensation, including, without limitation, during the two year period prior to the date of Citi’s opinion, having acted or acting as a lead left arranger on a repricing of a revolving credit facility, a Term Loan A and a Term Loan B for SAIC in January 2018, for which services Citi and its affiliates received customary fees. As the SAIC board of directors also was aware, at SAIC’s request in connection with the merger, Citi and its affiliates may act as (i) a joint lead arranger, joint bookrunner for, and a lender under, certain senior unsecured credit facilities of SAIC, and (ii) a dealer manager for a tender offer to be undertaken relating to certain outstanding senior notes of Engility, for which services Citi and its affiliates will receive compensation. In the ordinary course of business, Citi and its affiliates may actively trade or hold the securities of SAIC and Engility for their own account or for the account of customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities. In addition, Citi and its affiliates (including Citigroup Inc. and its affiliates) may maintain relationships with SAIC, Engility and their respective affiliates.

SAIC selected Citi to act as financial advisor in connection with the proposed merger based on Citi’s reputation, experience and familiarity with SAIC, Engility and their respective businesses. Citi is an internationally recognized investment banking firm that regularly engages in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive bids, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes.

Opinion of Stone Key

Overview

Pursuant to an engagement letter dated July 25, 2018, SAIC retained Stone Key to provide advisory and investment banking services in connection with a possible transaction with or involving Engility. In selecting Stone Key, SAIC’s board of directors considered, among other things, the fact that Stone Key is an internationally recognized investment banking firm with substantial experience advising companies in the government services industry as well as substantial experience providing strategic advisory services. Stone Key, as part of its investment banking business, is continuously engaged in the evaluation of businesses and their debt and equity securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, underwritings, private placements and other securities offerings, valuations and general corporate advisory services.

At the September 9, 2018 meeting of SAIC’s board of directors, Stone Key delivered its oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, that, as of September 9, 2018, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth in the written opinion, the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to SAIC.

The full text of Stone Key’s written opinion is attached as Annex D to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and you should read the opinion carefully and in its entirety. The opinion sets forth the assumptions made, some of the matters considered and qualifications to and limitations of the review undertaken by Stone Key. The Stone Key opinion, which was authorized for issuance by the Fairness Opinion and Valuation Committee of Stone Key, is subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other conditions contained in the opinion and is
