Consistent with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, Mr. Clare was appointed by the non-management directors to serve as the Presiding Director on May 23, 2013. The Presiding Director presides over executive sessions at which the Chairman is not present. At least annually, independent directors also meet in executive session during a regular Board meeting.

The Board and its committees establish annual calendars of activities to guide the development of their agendas during the year. All directors are invited to propose agenda topics when the annual calendars are established as well as in advance of each regular Board meeting. In addition, directors are encouraged to raise topics that are not on a meeting agenda or suggest topics for future agendas. Each director is provided written materials in advance of each meeting, and the Board and its committees provide feedback to and make requests of management at each of their meetings.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

As noted above, the Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are responsible for reviewing and amending these guidelines as they deem necessary and appropriate. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing the system of corporate governance of the Company. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are available without charge on the Investor Relations portion of our website, www.boozallen.com.

Codes of Conduct and Ethics

Our website also includes the Company’s Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, which is applicable to our directors and all employees, and the Company's Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, each of which was adopted by the Board and each of which may be accessed without charge. The Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers applies to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller and any other persons performing similar functions. We will disclose on the Investor Relations portion of our website any amendments to the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct or Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers and any waiver granted to an executive officer or director under these codes. In fiscal 2016, no such waivers were sought or granted. The information found on the Company's website is not part of this proxy statement nor is it incorporated into any other filings the Company makes with the SEC.

Board Meetings and Attendance

Directors are expected to attend each Board meeting, each meeting of the committees on which they serve, and the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. During fiscal 2016, the Board met six times, including four regular meetings and two special meetings. Each of our directors who served as a director during fiscal 2016 attended 75% or more of the aggregate total number of meetings of the Board and the Board Committees on which he or she served that were held during the time he or she was a director in fiscal 2016. Director attendance was 95% for both Board and Board committee meetings during fiscal 2016. All directors who served at the time of our 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders attended that meeting.

Board Leadership Structure

As noted in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board has no policy with respect to the separation of the offices of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that it is important to retain its flexibility to allocate the responsibilities of the offices of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in any way that is in the best interests

of the Company at a given point in time. The Board has concluded that it is currently in the best interest of the stockholders for Dr. Shrader to continue his service as Chairman, retaining his four decades of experience at the Company with a focus on continuing to build stockholder value, managing risk and supporting the Company's executive management. In his role as President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Rozanski will continue to work closely with the Board in establishing the overall strategy and direction of the Company, and to effectively communicate our strategy to our stockholders, clients and employees.

Succession Planning and Talent Reviews

The Board believes that executive management succession planning is one of its most important responsibilities. Accordingly, the Board regularly undertakes executive management succession planning and talent reviews. On an annual basis, the Chairman leads the Board in an in-depth discussion concerning Chief Executive Officer succession and the Chief Executive Officer leads the Board in a discussion concerning senior management succession. Chief Executive Officer succession is also discussed by the Board in an executive session outside the presence of any management directors. Management also updates the Board on key talent indicators such as recruiting and retention for the overall employee population throughout the year.

On February 12, 2016, Kevin L. Cook, the Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company, informed the Company of his intention to retire, effective as of July 1, 2016. In connection with Mr. Cook's retirement, the Board ratified the appointment of Lloyd W. Howell, Jr., currently an Executive Vice President of the Company, to the additional positions of Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, effective as of July 1, 2016.

Risk Oversight

The Board and its committees play an important role in overseeing the Company's risk management processes, and risk management considerations form a regular element of the Board's dialogue with management. One of the primary tools that facilitates the Board’s oversight of risk (and actions being taken to mitigate it) is the Company’s Enterprise Risk Management Framework, or ERM Framework. Under the leadership of our President and Chief Executive Officer, the ERM Framework is designed to enable effective and efficient identification of risks and facilitate the evaluation of risks as an integral part of decision making. As part of the ERM Framework, the Company:


•	identifies and classifies into tiers the top risks facing the business;


•	discusses and evaluates the Company’s risk appetite with respect to different types of operational risk; and


•	develops action plans to mitigate and monitor risk.

The process for regularly updating the ERM Framework enables effective and efficient identification of risks and facilitates the evaluation of risks as an integral part of decision making. Under the ERM Framework, our President and Chief Executive Officer leads an annual risk identification, analysis and mitigation discussion with the Board and prepares a quarterly update for the Board of our enterprise risks. In addition to updates provided through the ERM Framework, the Board receives other information and briefings as part of its risk oversight role. During the course of the year, the lead management official with responsibility for each of our major markets provides a comprehensive overview of the market, including risks and challenges. The Board is also regularly updated by other elements of management, including the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer, and Chief Administrative Officer concerning significant risks facing the Company and processes that have been implemented to mitigate these risks.

In addition to this dialogue between management and the entire Board, the Board's committees have more specific roles concerning elements of the Company's risk management processes.

•

Audit Committee: The Audit Committee is regularly updated by the Chief Legal Officer, Director of Internal Audit, Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer and receives regular reports concerning the status of the Company's ethics and compliance program, internal controls over financial reporting and other operational compliance areas, and significant communications from the Company's regulators. The Audit Committee also leads the Board's efforts with respect to the oversight of cybersecurity risk.


•	Compensation Committee: The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing risks related to the Company's executive compensation policies and practices.


•	Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees risks arising from the Company's governance processes.

Annual Board Performance Assessment

Annually, the Board and each of its committees perform an assessment of their operations and effectiveness, and set goals for the future. The core of this process involves our Secretary interviewing each director individually. The comments of the directors are compiled and presented, as applicable, to the Chairman, the full Board or the appropriate committee. Each committee and the Board identify key matters to be addressed, and these matters become part of future agendas for the Board and its committees.

Board Independence

Nine of our current directors are independent under our Corporate Governance Guidelines and applicable New York Stock Exchange listing standards. In order for a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine, after consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, that he or she has no material relationship with the Company directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company. The independence criteria adopted by the Board are set forth in the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines.

The Board has previously determined that Messrs. Clare, Fujiyama, Odeen, Gaumond, Johnson and Rossotti, Ms. Amble, Ms. Barnes and Ms. McClain were independent under the independence criteria for directors established by the New York Stock Exchange and the independence criteria adopted by the Board. As a result, we currently have a majority of independent directors and satisfy the applicable rule of the New York Stock Exchange. Mr. Rozanski is an employee of the Company and is not independent under the NYSE listing standards or our Corporate Governance Guidelines. In addition, Dr. Shrader was an employee within the past three years and is not considered independent under the NYSE listing standards or our Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Selection of Nominees for Election to the Board

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends to the Board appropriate criteria for the selection of new directors based on the strategic needs of the Company and the Board, and periodically reviews the criteria adopted by the Board and, if deemed desirable, recommends to the Board changes to such criteria. The Board seeks members from diverse backgrounds who combine a broad spectrum of experience and expertise with a reputation for integrity. While the Board does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity, it is a critical factor the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers when recommending director nominees to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee defines diversity in an expansive way to be reflective of the diversity of the Company and representative of the clients it serves. Exceptional candidates who do not meet all of these criteria may still be considered. The Board seeks director candidates who have experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility, are, or have been, leaders in the companies or institutions with which they are, or were, affiliated, and are selected based upon the contributions they can make to the Company.

In fiscal 2016, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board elected Melody C. Barnes as a new member of the Board, effective October 23, 2015. Ms. Barnes is Co-Founder and Principal of MB Squared Solutions LLC, a domestic policy strategy firm and Chair of the Aspen Institute Forum for Community Solutions. From 2009 to 2013, she served President Barack Obama as an Assistant to the President and as the Director of the Domestic Policy Council, which coordinates the domestic policy-making process in the White House. Before serving in the White House, Ms. Barnes was the Senior Domestic Policy Advisor to President Obama’s campaign. Her significant government experience and strong skills in public policy, strategy and leadership will be valuable to the Board.

Our Commitment to Board Diversity

Consistent with the Company's long-standing commitment in this regard, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is focused on enhancing the diversity of the Board and works actively to achieve this goal, as reflected below:



	Women	Hispanic	African-American	Asian
No. of Directors	3	1	2	1
% of Directors	27%	9%	18%	9%

Board Tenure

We believe that Board tenure diversity is important and directors with many years of service provide the Board with a deep knowledge of our company, while newer directors lend fresh perspectives. The chart below reflects the Board tenure of our current directors.

Board Tenure is Diversified

Average Tenure is 5.4 Years

Process for Stockholders to Recommend Director Nominees

Stockholders wishing to nominate a candidate for director must provide written notice in care of the Secretary, to 8283 Greensboro Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102, not fewer than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting.

Director Orientation and Continuing Education

New directors are provided a multi-phase orientation generally timed to coincide with our Board meetings as part of our effort to integrate them in their role as directors and familiarize them with the Company. Orientation sessions are led by members of management and are focused on various elements of our business strategy, client service offerings, internal business operations, and corporate governance, among other areas. During the course of the year, representatives of management brief the Board on topics designed to provide directors a deeper understanding of various aspects of our business such as applicable legal developments, ethics and compliance programs and the evolving regulatory environment. In addition, the Board holds an annual business strategy session with management. Directors are also encouraged to participate in continuing education programs to better understand and execute their duties and responsibilities.

Communications with the Board

Stockholders, or other interested third parties, who wish to contact our Board may send written correspondence, in care of the Secretary, to 8283 Greensboro Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102. Communications may be addressed to an individual director, to the non-management directors as a group, or to the Board as a whole, marked as confidential or otherwise. Communications not submitted confidentially, which are addressed to directors that discuss business or other matters relevant to the activities of our Board, will be preliminarily reviewed by the office of the Secretary and then distributed either in summary form or by delivering a copy of the communication. Communications marked as confidential will be distributed, without review by the office of the Secretary, to the director, or group of directors, to whom they are addressed. With respect to other correspondence received by the Company that is addressed to one or more directors, the Board has requested that the following items not be distributed to directors, because they generally fall into the purview of management, rather than the Board: junk mail and mass mailings, service complaints and inquiries, resumés and other forms of job inquiries, solicitations for charitable donations, surveys, business solicitations, and advertisements.

Board Committees

Our Board has four standing committees: an Executive Committee, an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The charter of each committee is available without charge on the Investor Relations portion of our website, www.boozallen.com.

The following chart identifies the members and chair of each standing committee, as well as related information.

The following is a brief description of our committees.

The Executive Committee

Our Executive Committee is responsible, among its other duties and responsibilities, for assisting our Board in fulfilling its responsibilities. Our Executive Committee is responsible for approving certain corporate actions and transactions, including acquisitions of assets other than in the ordinary course of business and outside hires of certain senior officers or the termination of such employees. The members of our Executive Committee are Dr. Shrader (Chairman) and Messrs. Clare, Fujiyama and Rozanski. The Executive Committee did not meet during fiscal 2016 but acted by written consent.

The Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee is responsible, among its other duties and responsibilities, for overseeing our accounting and financial reporting processes, the audits of our financial statements, the qualifications and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and the performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm. Our Audit Committee reviews and assesses the qualitative aspects of our financial reporting, our processes to manage business and financial risks, and our compliance with significant applicable legal, ethical and regulatory requirements. Our Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of our independent registered public accounting firm.

The members of our Audit Committee are Messrs. Gaumond (Chairman) and Johnson and Ms. Amble, each of whom is an independent director as required by New York Stock Exchange listing standards and Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act. The Board has determined that each member of our Audit Committee is financially literate and has determined that Mr. Gaumond and Ms. Amble are each an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined under Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. Ms. Amble currently serves on the audit committees of four public companies (including us). In accordance with our Audit Committee Charter, the Board has discussed this simultaneous service with Ms. Amble, including the demands and time commitment attendant to such simultaneous service, and determined that such simultaneous service will not impair the ability of Ms. Amble to effectively serve on the Board and the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee met seven times during fiscal 2016.

The Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee is responsible, among its other duties and responsibilities, for reviewing and approving all forms of compensation to be provided to, and employment letter agreements with, the executives and directors of our company and its subsidiaries (including the Chief Executive Officer), establishing and reviewing the general compensation philosophy of our Company and its subsidiaries, and reviewing, approving, and overseeing the administration of the employee benefits plans of our Company and its subsidiaries.

The members of our Compensation Committee are Messrs. Odeen (Chairman), Clare and Fujiyama, Ms. Barnes and Ms. McClain, each of whom is an independent director as required by New York Stock Exchange listing standards. Ms. Barnes was appointed to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee effective October 23, 2015. The Compensation Committee charter requires that at least two members of the Compensation Committee must satisfy the requirements of “non-employee director” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. Messrs. Odeen and Fujiyama, Ms. Barnes and Ms. McClain currently satisfy these requirements.

The Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate any of its responsibilities to subcommittees as the Compensation Committee may deem appropriate, provided that the subcommittees are composed entirely of directors satisfying the independence standards then applicable to the Compensation Committee generally. The Compensation Committee has delegated to a Rule 16b-3 subcommittee its responsibility under the Company's Second Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan with respect to the approval of acquisitions and dispositions of Company securities by officers and directors of the Company for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. The members of the Rule 16b-3 subcommittee are Messrs. Odeen and Fujiyama. In addition, the Compensation Committee has delegated to a Section 162(m) subcommittee its authority to approve performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. The Compensation Committee determined it would be advisable to establish this subcommittee to review and approve certain compensation that is intended to be performance based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. The members of the Section 162(m) subcommittee are Mr. Odeen and Ms. McClain, each of whom satisfies the requirements of an "outside director" for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code.

The Compensation Committee has not engaged a compensation consultant; however, the Compensation Committee is briefed by management, which consults with ClearBridge Compensation Group, LLC, or ClearBridge, and Willis Towers Watson, or Towers Watson. During fiscal 2016, ClearBridge provided data analyses, market assessments regarding executive compensation, and counsel regarding proxy disclosure and preparation of related reports. During fiscal 2016, Towers Watson provided education sessions to management on our executive compensation program and provided market assessments on executive benefits and perquisites. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of each of ClearBridge and Towers Watson and concluded that neither ClearBridge's nor Towers Watson's work for the Company raises any conflict of interest issues.

Each of our executive officers, who collectively comprise our Leadership Team, participates in the discussion and consideration of compensation to be awarded to all executives. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis —Setting Executive Compensation.”

The Compensation Committee met eight times during fiscal 2016.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible, among its other duties and responsibilities, for identifying and recommending candidates to the Board for election to our Board (including candidates proposed by stockholders), reviewing the composition of the Board and its committees, developing and recommending to the Board corporate governance guidelines that are applicable to us, and overseeing Board and Board committee evaluations.

The members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Mr. Clare (Chairman), Ms. Barnes, Mr. Odeen and Ms. McClain, each of whom is an independent director as required by New York Stock Exchange listing standards. Ms. Barnes was appointed to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee effective October 23, 2015.

Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, as amended, subject to certain conditions and restrictions, one nominee for election to our Board, who may be a full-time employee of Carlyle, shall be designated by Carlyle. In addition, the two current members of the Board who were previously designated for nomination to the Board by Booz Allen Holding's Chief Executive Officer, will continue to be designated for nomination to the Board and,

at all times, no fewer than one such nominee for election to the Board is to be designated by the Chief Executive Officer of Booz Allen Holding. Carlyle shall no longer have the right to designate any director at such time as Carlyle holds less than 5% of the outstanding Class A common stock. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Related Person Transactions — Stockholders Agreement.”

Except as described above, there is no difference in the manner in which the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates a nominee for director designated by Carlyle or our Chief Executive Officer or recommended by a stockholder.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met four times during fiscal 2016.

Director Compensation

Directors who are employed by us or by Carlyle do not receive any additional compensation for their services as directors. The Compensation Committee reviews director compensation on an annual basis. In July 2015, with assistance from ClearBridge Compensation Group, the Committee reviewed director compensation data for the peer group used for benchmarking executive compensation and the general market. Based on that review, the Committee determined that our director compensation was below the median and approved a $20,000 increase in overall director compensation, which consisted of a $30,000 increase in the annual equity award and a decrease of $10,000 in the annual retainer in order to emphasize greater equity ownership. The Committee also approved increases of $10,000 and $5,000 to the additional retainers for the Audit and Compensation Committee Chair, respectively.

Fiscal 2016 Compensation: Director compensation for fiscal 2016 included the following:



Component		Annual Amount
Annual Board Chairman Retainer		$290,000
Annual Board Retainer (non-Chairman)		$90,000
Annual Equity Award		$110,000
Audit Committee Chair Additional Retainer		$30,000
Compensation Committee Chair Additional Retainer		$15,000

Directors may elect to receive all or a portion of their annual retainer and any additional payments for service as a committee chair in the form of restricted stock, which will be granted under our Second Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, which we refer to as our Equity Incentive Plan. Our directors do not receive additional fees for attending Board or committee meetings.

Director Ownership Guidelines

Equity ownership guidelines for all of our non-employee directors are in place to further align their interests to those of our stockholders. Each of our non-employee directors has five years from the date of commencement of their service on the Board to achieve equity ownership with a value equivalent to four times their annual retainer. In calculating a director’s ownership, Class A common stock, and vested in-the-money options and vested and unvested restricted stock issued under the Equity Incentive Plan will be considered owned by the non-employee director. Each of our directors who has served on the Board for five years or more currently exceed the equity ownership guidelines. For a description of the guidelines applicable to executive officers, see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" beginning on page 34.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS

AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The current members of our Compensation Committee are Messrs. Odeen (Chairman), Clare, Fujiyama, Ms. Barnes and Ms. McClain. Messrs. Clare and Fujiyama are employed by The Carlyle Group. Explorer Coinvest LLC, or Coinvest, is controlled indirectly by senior employees of the The Carlyle Group. Coinvest is a party to a stockholders agreement with Booz Allen Holding. The Carlyle Group is an affiliate of Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C., which is party to a management agreement with Booz Allen Holding and Booz Allen Hamilton pursuant to which Carlyle Investment Management provides Booz Allen Holding and its subsidiaries, including Booz Allen Hamilton, with advisory, consulting and other services for a fee. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Related Person Transactions — Stockholders Agreement,” and “— The Management Agreement.” No member of our Compensation Committee serves as a member of the board or compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board or Compensation Committee.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP INFORMATION

Security Ownership of Directors and Executive Officers

The following table indicates information as of June 6, 2016 regarding the beneficial ownership of our Class A common stock by each of our directors, each of the named executive officers, and all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

The percentages shown are based on 148,168,034 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of June 6, 2016. In August 2014, we converted all issued and outstanding shares of Class B non-voting common stock and Class C restricted common stock into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. In September 2015, the Company purchased, at par value, all issued and outstanding shares of Class E special voting common stock in connection with the exercise of the final tranche of rollover options during the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted on by our stockholders.

The amounts and percentages owned are reported on the basis of the SEC’s rules governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. The SEC’s rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to each person who possesses, either solely or shared with others, the voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of those securities. The rules also treat as outstanding all shares of capital stock that a person would receive upon exercise of stock options or warrants held by that person that are immediately exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding those options for the purpose of computing the number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Under these rules, one or more persons may be a deemed beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed a beneficial owner of securities to which such person has no economic interest. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

We adopted a written related person transactions policy pursuant to which related persons, namely our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders, and their immediate family members, are not permitted to enter into certain transactions, or materially modify or amend an ongoing transaction, with us, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000, without the consent of our Audit Committee or any designated member of the Audit Committee. Any request for us to enter into or materially modify or amend certain such transactions is required to be presented to our Audit Committee for review, consideration and approval. All of our directors and executive officers are required to report to our Audit Committee any such related person transaction. In approving or rejecting the proposed transaction, our Audit Committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the proposed related person transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances, the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction and, if applicable, the impact on a director’s independence. Under the policy, if we should discover related person transactions that have not been approved, our Audit Committee will be notified and will determine the appropriate action, including ratification, rescission, or amendment of the transaction.

Related Person Transactions

Stockholders Agreement

In connection with the acquisition of Booz Allen Hamilton by Carlyle on July 31, 2008, Booz Allen Holding, Explorer Coinvest LLC, an entity controlled indirectly by senior employees of Carlyle, certain members of the management of Booz Allen Holding and certain other stockholders of Booz Allen Holding entered into the stockholders agreement. Effective November 16, 2010, the stockholders agreement was amended and restated, and on June 12, 2012, the amended and restated stockholders agreement was further amended. On January 30, 2015, the stockholders agreement was further amended and restated in its entirety to provide that, upon termination of the amended and restated stockholders agreement, which occurs at such time as more than 60% of Booz Allen Holding's equity securities have been sold to the public, certain provisions will continue to survive until such time as Coinvest holds less than 5% of the outstanding Class A common stock. Following a sale of Class A common stock by Coinvest in February 2015, the amended and restated stockholders agreement was terminated pursuant to its terms and only the provisions described below continue to survive.

While our second amended and restated bylaws do not limit the Board from increasing the number of directors, under the continuing provisions of the amended and restated stockholders agreement, the number of directors on the Board is set at a minimum of six directors and a maximum of twelve directors and, so long as Coinvest continues to hold at least 5% of the outstanding Class A common stock, the number of directors of the Board may not be increased above twelve or decreased below six by action of the Board without the mutual consent of Booz Allen Holding and Coinvest.

Subject to certain conditions and restrictions, a maximum of three of the nominees for election to our Board, who may be full-time employees of Carlyle, are to be designated by Coinvest. In addition, the two current members of the Board who were previously designated for nomination to the Board by Booz Allen Holding's Chief Executive Officer will continue to be designated for nomination to the Board and, at all times, no fewer than one of the nominees for election to the Board is to be designated by the Chief Executive Officer of Booz Allen Holding. Coinvest is entitled to designate no fewer than one director for such time as Coinvest holds less than 15%, but at least 5%, of the outstanding Class A common stock. Carlyle shall no longer have the right to designate any director at such time as Carlyle holds less than 5% of the outstanding Class A common stock.

Coinvest has registration rights under the amended and restated stockholders agreement, with respect to 16,660,000 shares of Class A common stock that it owned as of June 6, 2016. The Company is required to pay all registration and filing fees and other expenses; however, Coinvest is required to reimburse Booz Allen Holding for its pro-rata share of such fees and expenses. Booz Allen Holding has agreed to indemnify Coinvest from liabilities resulting from the registration of securities of Booz Allen Holding pursuant to the amended and restated stockholders agreement.

The Management Agreement and Indemnification Agreements

On July 31, 2008, Booz Allen Holding and Booz Allen Hamilton entered into a management agreement with TC Group V US, L.L.C., a company affiliated with Carlyle, or TC Group. On June 7, 2012, TC Group assigned all of its right, title and interest in, and obligations under, the management agreement to Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C.,

or Carlyle Investment Management. Pursuant to the management agreement, Carlyle Investment Management, as the assignee of TC Group, provides Booz Allen Holding and its subsidiaries, including Booz Allen Hamilton, with advisory, consulting and other services. Booz Allen Holding pays Carlyle Investment Management an aggregate annual fee of $1.0 million for such services, plus expenses. Furthermore, in consideration for any additional investment banking services provided by Carlyle Investment Management and other services other than advisory and consulting services described above, Carlyle Investment Management is entitled to receive additional reasonable compensation as agreed by the parties.

The management agreement also provides that Booz Allen Hamilton will indemnify Carlyle Investment Management and its officers, employees, agents, representatives, members and affiliates against certain liabilities relating to or arising out of the performance of the management agreement and certain other claims and liabilities. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements provide the directors and our executive officers with contractual rights to the indemnification and expense advancement rights provided under our second amended and restated bylaws, as well as contractual rights to additional indemnification as provided in the indemnification agreements.

We believe that the management and indemnification agreements are, in form and substance, substantially similar to those commonly entered into in transactions of like size and complexity sponsored by private equity firms. We further believe that the fees incurred by us under the management agreement are customary and within the range charged by similarly situated sponsors. In addition, from time to time and in the ordinary course of business and at arms-length, we engage other Carlyle portfolio companies as subcontractors or service providers and they engage us as subcontractors or service providers. The cost and revenue associated with these related party transactions were approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for fiscal 2016.

The Acquisition

In connection with the acquisition of Booz Allen Hamilton by Carlyle, our current and former executive officers (or their related family trusts) received a combination of current and deferred cash consideration as well as stock and options in Booz Allen Holding. Of the overall cash consideration, $158.0 million was structured as an interest in the deferred payment obligation and $80.0 million was deposited into escrow to fund certain purchase price adjustments, future indemnification claims under the merger agreement and for certain other adjustments. The remainder of the cash consideration was paid on the closing date as part of the acquisition. The current and former executive officers (or their related family trusts) receive their pro rata share of any payments of the deferred payment obligation and any releases of funds held in escrow to selling stockholders.

As of March 31, 2016, there was approximately $81.3 million of the deferred payment obligation outstanding, which includes accrued interest of $1.3 million. Remaining potential claims outstanding that may be indemnified under the deferred payment obligation relate to former officers and stockholders’ suits that are still in litigation. The ultimate value of our current and former executive officers’ (or their related family trusts’) interests in the deferred payment obligation will not be known until all such matters are resolved.

Compensation Philosophy

Our executive compensation program is designed to motivate our executives to act in the best interests of the Company through an emphasis on client service and collaboration to rapidly and efficiently deploy talent across markets, clients, and opportunities.



Our Philosophy	Key Tenets of Our Program Design
- Aligns executives' compensation with company performance and the creation of long-term sustainable shareholder value. - Uses a partnership-style compensation model which fosters a culture of collaboration. - Attracts, motivates and retains executives of exceptional ability to meet and exceed the demands of our clients. - Creates appropriate rewards and penalties for exceeding or falling short of firm-level performance targets.	- 100% of annual compensation tied to company performance including base salary which is designed as a "draw." - Equity awards with multi-year vesting to reinforce the importance of translating annual operating results into long-term shareholder value. - Each executive is assigned to a level based on role, responsibilities, competencies, and performance with all executives at the same level receiving the same total compensation. - Based on business needs we may also pay additional amounts to one or more executives to recognize special roles or responsibilities.

Utilizing this philosophy and compensation design, our executive compensation program effectively achieves the following objectives:


•	Focuses on optimizing stockholder value and fostering an ownership culture;


•	Encourages and rewards executives through emphasis on client service and collaboration; and


•	Creates and enables agility within our leadership and the Company overall allowing us to quickly adjust, align, and advance in an ever-changing global marketplace.

Fiscal 2016 Compensation Program Summary

Our executive compensation program consists of the following components, which are designed to provide compensation that is heavily tied to the achievement of our short and long-term goals and designed to promote a long-term career with the Company:



Element	Objective
Base Draw	Reflects the requirements of the marketplace to attract and keep our executive talent
Annual Incentives	Rewards our executives for performance against key operational and financial targets
Long Term Equity Incentives	Rewards our executives for growing our Company over the long term and aligns their interests with our stockholders
Benefits	Provides for the health and welfare of our executives

Each executive's total annual compensation, including base draw and annual incentives are at risk and tied to our annual financial performance, other than as required by applicable federal, state, and local labor law requirements. Annual compensation tied to performance targets are delivered in a mix of cash and restricted stock units as described below. The target annual compensation mix for all named executive officers is approximately 52% base draw and 48% annual incentives.

Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation

At the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, over 99% of the votes cast were in favor of our executive compensation structure. The Board and Compensation Committee viewed this strong support as indicating general approval of our approach to executive compensation, and no changes were made to our programs directly because of the 2014 vote outcome. There is an advisory vote scheduled for the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

We welcome feedback regarding our executive compensation programs and will continue to engage with our stockholders in fiscal 2017.

Setting Executive Compensation

Our compensation program allows us to attract and retain top tier talent and provide significant incentives for exceeding our performance targets, while also providing significant penalties for under-performance. The President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Personnel Officer together recommend the target compensation for each level by reviewing historical compensation and considering factors such as projected financial performance, growth, and market conditions for the coming fiscal year. The recommendation is then reviewed with the Company's Leadership Team. The result is the dollar value per point multiplied by the number of points assigned to each executive level to determine target compensation. Based upon their collective experience and reasoned business judgment, our Compensation Committee considers the recommendation from management and approves the final targeted monetary value per point based on achieved performance objectives.

Benchmarking Compensation

We evaluate compensation for the fiscal year based on overall performance objectives and broad market parameters, including:

•Peer Market Analysis (from proxy statements of peer companies); and


•	Technical Industry Market Survey Analysis (cross industry surveys for companies of similar size).

Our management consults with ClearBridge Compensation Group, LLC, who provides us with a peer group analysis of market position and executive compensation design. For fiscal 2016, peer comparisons were performed against seven companies which were selected based on similarities to the Company in size and/or industry as well as operations. The selected companies were Accenture, CSRA, Inc. (formerly SRA International), ICF International, Leidos Holdings, Inc., ManTech International, SAIC, Inc., and CACI International. In addition, management obtains market analysis and executive compensation survey data from nationally recognized survey providers, including Mercer U.S. Long Term Incentive and Equity Compensation Survey, Towers Watson Top Management Survey, and Towers Watson Professional Services Executive Survey. Salary, cash incentive compensation, and long-term stock incentives are considered in these analyses; however, we do not use survey data to set compensation; instead, we use it to confirm that our compensation is within a competitive range. The companies we use for compensation benchmarking are reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary due to changes at the selected company (e.g., acquisitions, mergers, etc.) or changes in comparability to Booz Allen. In addition, during fiscal 2016, Towers Watson provided education sessions to management on our executive compensation program and provided market assessments on executive benefits and perquisites.

Compensation Elements

Base Draw

Our executives receive a monthly base draw payment, which is paid over the course of the year like a salary, but is unlike salary in that the base draw is performance-based. In the event that annual Company performance is significantly below expectations, any excess draw payment made to each executive is at risk and could be required to be returned, subject to the limitations established by applicable federal, state and local labor law requirements. For fiscal 2016, each of our named executive officers earned the base draw set forth in the “Salary” column of the Summary Compensation Table.

Annual Incentive

The annual incentive portion of our executives' compensation is provided through our annual bonus program, which is delivered in cash and restricted stock units. The amount earned is based on achievement of the Company's performance target metric with upward or downward adjustments for exceeding or falling below the target. The performance target metric is set at or near the beginning of each fiscal year by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. For fiscal 2016, the annual incentive performance metric is Adjusted EBITDA. Payment of the annual incentive payments at target levels would generally occur when actual Adjusted EBITDA is equal to the target Adjusted EBITDA. A portion of any variance between target and actual Adjusted EBITDA is reflected as an adjustment to the pool of funds available for the annual incentive payment, or the bonus pool. The amount of the adjustment is determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. A positive variance between the target and actual Adjusted EBITDA would generally result in an increase in the bonus pool and a negative variance would generally result in a decrease in the bonus pool.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as our net income before income taxes, net interest and other expense, and depreciation and amortization and before certain other items, including: (i) certain stock option-based and other equity-based compensation expenses, and (ii) transaction costs, fees, losses, and expenses, including fees associated with debt prepayments. We base the annual incentive portion of our executives' compensation on Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is a direct reflection of the cash flow and operating profitability of our business and represents the element of our performance that executives can most directly impact through their management of the business.

No bonuses are payable to our Named Executive Officers unless we achieve a minimum Adjusted EBITDA level of $452 million. If we achieve that level of performance, we can allocate up to 200% of their pro-rata share of the target bonus pool based on our actual Adjusted EBITDA results and the bonus pool approved by the Compensation Committee for all of our executives.

Our Compensation Committee reviews and approves the Adjusted EBITDA result and any adjustments to the plan bonus pool based on year end operating results. The final bonus pool as approved by our Compensation Committee is distributed to our executives on a consistent per point basis.



	Adjusted EBITDA	Bonus Pool
FY16 Target	$532.2 million	$27.4 million
FY16 Actual	$506.1 million	$28.1 million

The Compensation Committee approved a slight increase to the bonus pool notwithstanding actual results being less than five percent under target, given the relatively strong performance of the Company, which exceeded that of many others in the U.S. Government services industry.

In approving a $28.1 million bonus pool, the Compensation Committee took into consideration the Company's financial performance during fiscal year 2016, including the return to modest growth after three years of contraction, the delivery of results that met or exceeded the financial outlook provided at the beginning of the fiscal year, stock price appreciation of 5% and total shareholder return of 7%. In addition, the Company successfully transitioned its largest contract, SURVIAC, during fiscal year 2016, while continuing to make strategic and tactical investments necessary for the long term health of the business.

In addition, executives receive a "supplemental bonus" payable in cash that is tied to Company performance and varies based on the executives' total compensation. The supplemental bonus is calculated by multiplying the sum of the base draw and bonus by a factor assigned to each executive’s level. For fiscal 2016, the supplemental bonus factor for each of our Named Executive Officers is indicated in the following table:



Name	Supplemental Bonus Factor (%)
Horacio D. Rozanski	12.8
Kevin L. Cook	7.4
Karen M. Dahut	12.7
Lloyd W. Howell, Jr.	12.7
Joseph Logue	12.8

Any supplemental bonus payments to executives are contingent upon the Company generating net income as reported in the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year as well as upon approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

Annual Incentive - Cash Component

The cash component of the annual incentive is generally the same for each executive within the same level. For the named executive officers, a portion (ranging from 55% - 70%) of the annual incentive is provided in cash with the remainder delivered in restricted stock units as described below. In addition, executives receive the supplemental bonus in cash, as previously discussed. Executives who retire before the end of the calendar year, or whose employment terminates before the issuance of the equity portion of the annual bonus and under circumstances that entitle them to a full or pro-rated bonus, will be paid their annual bonus entirely in cash. The Compensation Committee may also determine in other circumstances that an annual bonus will be paid entirely in cash and, in light of Mr. Cook’s announced retirement, has determined that his annual bonus for fiscal 2016 will be paid entirely in cash.

Annual Incentive - Equity Component

The equity component of the annual incentive award is granted in restricted stock units and vests ratably over three years, subject to certain exceptions. The equity portion is intended to enable executives to own meaningful amounts of our stock and create a link to long-term shareholder value.

For the named executive officers, a portion (ranging from 30% - 45%) of the annual incentive (excluding the supplemental cash bonus) is delivered in the form of restricted stock units. The Company determines the number of restricted stock units to be granted to each executive by multiplying the total annual bonus amount by the percentage factor and then applying a 20% premium. The resulting amount is divided by the fair market value of our stock on the date of grant to determine the number of units granted. The Compensation Committee has determined that Mr. Cook will not receive an equity grant with respect to fiscal 2016 in light of his announced retirement.

Annual Incentive - Fiscal 2016 Payments

The cash payments received by each of our named executive officers for fiscal 2016 are reflected in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table. The equity grants for fiscal 2015 performance granted in fiscal 2016 are reflected in this year's “Stock Awards” column of the Summary Compensation Table. The equity grants for fiscal 2016 performance granted in fiscal 2017 will be reflected in next year's “Stock Awards” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Total payments for fiscal 2016 for each of our named executive officers under the annual bonus program are reflected below:



Name	Total Annual Incentive ¹ ($)	Amount Paid in Cash ¹ ($)	Amount to be Delivered in Restricted Stock Units ² ($)
Horacio D. Rozanski	1,416,423	869,943	546,480
Kevin L. Cook³	363,270	363,270	—
Karen M. Dahut	983,407	603,247	380,160
Lloyd W. Howell, Jr.	983,407	603,247	380,160
Joseph Logue	1,231,672	756,472	475,200


(1)	Includes supplemental cash bonus payment.


(2)	Includes 20% premium.


(3)	Mr. Cook will retire in fiscal 2017. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee has determined that his annual bonus for fiscal 2016 will be paid entirely in cash.

Long-Term Incentives

We believe that our executives should hold meaningful amounts of equity to align their interests to those of our stockholders, and, accordingly, long-term equity compensation is an important component of our compensation program. Our long-term incentive program consists of awards of stock options to our executives under the Equity Incentive Plan. We believe stock options further our objective of aligning the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders by providing our executives with a continuing stake in our long-term success and by rewarding them based on the future growth in our equity value. We generally award stock options upon hire of an executive and/or upon promotion, which vest ratably over five years based on continued employment, subject to certain exceptions. We do not grant stock options on an annual basis. Mr. Rozanski received a grant of options on April 1, 2015, as reflected in the Grants of Plan Based Awards table below, in recognition of his promotion to Chief Executive Officer during the prior fiscal year. Mr. Cook received a grant of options, as reflected in the Grants of Plan Based Awards table below, upon his promotion to Executive Vice President effective April 1, 2015. Our named executive officers hold substantial amounts of equity as shown below and further discussed under "Executive Ownership Requirements."



Named Executive Officers	Ownership Requirement	Actual Ownership¹
Chief Executive Officer	5x base draw	18x base draw
Other Named Executive Officers	2x to 3x base draw	12x base draw

(1) Actual ownership for the other named executive officers is an average of their actual equity holdings compared to their respective base draw amounts as of fiscal year end.

Benefits and Perquisites

Our employees are eligible to participate in a full complement of benefit plans. Our executives also participate in enhanced medical and dental plans, life insurance, AD&D and personal liability coverage at the Company's expense. Our executives receive perquisites including initiation fees for club memberships and reasonable dues on an annual basis, up to $15,000 per year for financial counseling, up to $7,500 every three years to update an estate plan, up to $3,000 for preparation of estate plans following relocation to a new tax jurisdiction and a one-time reimbursement of up to $5,000 for retirement financial planning. In addition, in order to protect our executives from various risks, we maintain an executive protection program that provides our executives with a security assessment for their primary residence and security service for foreign or domestic travel. We believe that our executive benefit and perquisite programs are reasonable and necessary to sustain a fully competitive executive compensation program. For more detail on the perquisites that our named executive officers receive, see footnote 6 to the Summary Compensation Table below.

Defined Contribution Retirement Plan and Other Retirement Benefits

We provide retirement benefits to our executives (including our named executive officers) in order to help them build financial security for retirement, while allowing them to direct the investment of their retirement savings as they choose.

Employees’ Capital Accumulation Plan

All employees, including our named executive officers, are automatically eligible to participate in the tax-qualified Employees' Capital Accumulation Plan, or ECAP. We fund contributions to ECAP annually for each of our named executive officers. All employees, including our named executive officers, will be eligible for an annual matching contribution of up to 6% of their eligible annual income as determined by the Internal Revenue Code. Each executive is also eligible to receive a payment that is equivalent to the annual tax-deferred contribution he or she is permitted to make to ECAP under the Internal Revenue Code. Executives may elect to have these funds deposited into a pre-tax or Roth 401(k), or the executive may simply receive the funds as a cash payment and taxed accordingly.

Additional Retirement Benefits

We provide additional retirement benefits to our executives (including our named executive officers) in order to provide them with additional security in retirement and promote a long-term career with our company. Our executives participate in the Officers' Retirement Plan, under which the executive may retire with full benefits after a minimum of either (a) age 60 with five years of service as an executive or (b) age 50 with ten years of service as an executive. An eligible executive who retires and does not receive severance benefits is entitled to receive a single lump sum retirement payment equal to $10,000 for each year of service as an executive, pro-rated as appropriate, and an annual allowance of $4,000 for financial counseling and tax preparation assistance. Our retirees are also eligible to receive comprehensive coverage for medical, pharmacy and dental health care. The premiums for this health care coverage are paid by the Company.

Employment Letters

Effective April 1, 2014, we entered into employment letter agreements, or employment letters, with Messrs. Rozanski, Logue and Howell and Ms. Dahut to reflect leadership changes, to align their compensation to the market for similarly situated executives, and to ensure retention of these critical leaders during our leadership succession period.

The employment letters provide for base draw and annual incentives that are consistent with that currently provided to the executives (and described above). Each executive officer will be eligible to participate in the employee benefit and executive perquisite programs of the Company on the same terms as similarly situated executive officers of the Company. Payments upon termination of employment will be governed by the Company’s severance, transition, retirement, disability or other policies, as applicable, as in effect from time to time, and subject the terms and conditions of such policies. The officer is required to provide the Company with not less than 90 days’ notice of termination of employment for any reason other than death or disability (or such longer notice period as is provided in the relevant officer policy). In addition, each executive agreed to be bound by perpetual confidentiality provisions and non-compete and non-solicit covenants while employed with us and for one year following termination of employment. Under the employment letters, in fiscal year 2015, each of Messrs. Rozanski and Logue received a special grant of 268,818 shares of restricted stock and each of Mr. Howell and Ms. Dahut also received a special grant of 179,212 shares of restricted stock. 33% of the restricted stock vested on March 31, 2016, with the remaining shares to vest 34% on March 31, 2017, and 33% on March 31, 2018, subject to the executive’s continued employment through such dates.

Executive Ownership Requirements

Equity ownership requirements are in place for all of our executives to further align their interests to those of our stockholders. Until an executive has satisfied the ownership requirements set forth below, the executive cannot sell any equity granted as equity compensation by the firm. Each executive’s required equity ownership amount is determined as a multiple of his or her base draw. The applicable multiples for our named executive officers are set forth in the table below as well as a comparison of their actual equity ownership as of the end of the fiscal year:



Named Executive Officers	Ownership Requirement	Actual Ownership¹
Chief Executive Officer	5x base draw	18x base draw
Other Named Executive Officers	2x to 3x base draw	12x base draw

(1) Actual ownership for the other named executive officers is an average of their actual equity ownership compared to their respective base draw amounts as of fiscal year end.

In calculating an executive's ownership, Class A Common Stock, vested in-the-money stock options, and vested and unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units issued under the Equity Incentive Plan will be considered owned by the executive.

Risk Assessment

We conducted an internal risk assessment of our compensation programs. Based on our approach of compensating our executives to foster the financial success of the Company as a whole and other elements of our compensation system, our Company's Leadership Team and the Compensation Committee of the Board, with the information from our internal review, concluded that our executive compensation program does not encourage undue risk-taking.

Government Limitations on Reimbursement of Compensation Costs

As a government contractor, we are subject to applicable federal statutes and the Federal Acquisition Regulation, or the FAR, which govern the reimbursement of costs by our government clients. Pursuant to FAR 31.205-6(p), our contracts entered into prior to June 24, 2014 include limitations on the allowability of senior executive compensation equal to a benchmark compensation cap established each year by the Administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy under Section 39 of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 1127). The benchmark cap applies to the five most highly compensated employees in management positions. When comparing senior executive compensation to the benchmark cap, all wages, salary, bonuses, deferred compensation and employer contributions to defined contribution pension plans, if any, for the year, as recorded in our books and records, must be included. Any amounts over the cap are considered unallowable and are therefore not recoverable under our government contracts.

For all employees working on contracts with Department of Defense (DoD), NASA or Coast Guard, entered into on or after December 31, 2011 and before June 24, 2014, the FAR also limits the allowability of reimbursement for compensation to the benchmark compensations caps described above.

For all employees working on Federal contracts entered into on or after June 24, 2014, the Bipartisan Budget Act imposed a new compensation cap of $487,000, which cap will be adjusted annually in accordance with the Employment Cost Index for all workers. The FAR was amended to impose this limitation effective June 24, 2014.

Policy on Recovering Bonuses in the Event of a Restatement

We have included provisions in our Annual Incentive Plan and our Equity Incentive Plan that provide us with the ability to impose the forfeiture of bonuses and equity compensation and the recovery of certain bonus amounts and gains from equity compensation awarded under those plans in the event of an accounting restatement due to material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirements under the securities laws with respect to individuals who engage in misconduct or gross negligence that results in a restatement of our financial statements, individuals subjected to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and, to the extent that, based on erroneous data, any award or payment is in excess of what would have been paid under the accounting restatement during the three-year period preceding the date on which a financial restatement is required, current or former executives, or as otherwise required under applicable laws or regulations. In addition, if an individual engages in certain other misconduct, we have the discretion to suspend vesting of all or a portion of any award and/or require the forfeiture or disgorgement to us of any equity award (including gains on the sale of the stock, if any) that vested, was paid or settled in the twelve months prior to or any time after the individual engaged in such misconduct. Our Equity Incentive Plan and Annual Incentive Plan also permit the Company to subject awards to forfeiture, disgorgement and recoupment under any applicable claw-back policies that may be adopted by the Board or our Compensation Committee. The Company is awaiting regulatory guidance regarding clawbacks of compensation under the Dodd-Frank Act and expects to implement a clawback policy after that guidance is finalized.

Certain Change in Control Provisions

For options granted after our initial public offering, in the event of a change in control, unless the plan administrator determines otherwise, all time-vesting awards under the Equity Incentive Plan will fully vest and a pro-rated portion of outstanding performance-vesting awards will vest based on the performance achieved as of the change in control. Under the Equity Incentive Plan, “change in control” is generally defined as the acquisition by any person (other than Carlyle) of 50% or more of the combined voting power of our company's then outstanding voting securities, the merger of our company if its stockholders immediately prior to the merger together with Carlyle do not own more than 50% of the combined voting power of the merged entity, the liquidation or dissolution of our company (other than in a

bankruptcy proceeding or for the purposes of effecting a corporate restructuring or reorganization) or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of our company to non-affiliates.

Options granted under our Equity Incentive Plan prior to our initial public offering also contain provisions that accelerate vesting in connection with certain change in control events that result in liquidity to Carlyle, which were negotiated at the time of Carlyle's investment in our company to motivate management to assist our principal stockholders in achieving a favorable return on their investment in our company. As of June 30, 2016, there are no remaining unvested options outstanding that were granted prior to our initial public offering.

In addition, if during the five year period after a change in control our executives' retiree medical plan is terminated or modified in a manner that is materially adverse to our executives, our executives, including our named executive officers, will be guaranteed their existing benefits under the plan through the fifth anniversary of the change in control and receive at the end of the five-year period a cash payment equal to the excess of the actuarial cost of the executive's benefits under the plan that would be accrued on the company's financial statements on the fifth anniversary of the change in control in the absence of the termination or modification over the amount that is accrued on our financial statements on the fifth anniversary of the change in control giving effect to the termination or modification (but excluding the accrual on the payment itself).

Policies on Timing of Equity Grants

It is our policy not to time the granting of equity awards in relation to the release of material, non-public information. Accordingly, regularly scheduled awards are permitted to be granted at times when there is material non-public information. We expect that we will generally grant awards to new hires and promotion awards effective at the time of the next scheduled Compensation Committee or Board of Directors meeting, and annual awards effective July 1. In addition, it is our policy not to grant equity awards with effect from, or with an exercise price based on market conditions as they existed on, any date prior to the date on which the party in which granting authority is vested (typically our Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors) takes formal action to grant them.

Effect of Accounting and Tax Treatment on Compensation Decisions

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a limit on the amount of compensation that we may deduct in any one year with respect to certain “covered employees,” unless certain specific and detailed criteria are satisfied. Performance-based compensation, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, is fully deductible if the programs are approved by stockholders and meet other requirements. As described above, all of our short-term non-equity incentive compensation is determined based upon the achievement of certain predetermined financial performance goals and follow criteria that generally permit us to deduct such amounts without being subject to limits under Section 162(m). While we will continue to monitor our compensation programs in light of Section 162(m) and seek to pay deductible compensation whenever possible consistent with our overall compensation philosophy, our Compensation Committee considers it important to retain the flexibility to design compensation programs that are in the best long-term interests of our company and our stockholders. As a result, we have not adopted a policy requiring that all compensation be deductible and our Compensation Committee may conclude that paying compensation at levels that are subject to limits under Section 162(m) is nevertheless in the best interests of our company and our stockholders.

Other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code can also affect compensation decisions. Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, which governs the form and timing of payment of deferred compensation, imposes sanctions, including a 20% penalty and an interest penalty, on a recipient of deferred compensation that does not comply with Section 409A. Our Compensation Committee takes into account the potential implications of Section 409A in determining the form and timing of compensation awarded to our executives and strives to structure its nonqualified deferred compensation plans to meet these requirements.

Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code disallows a company's tax deduction for payments received by certain individuals in connection with a change in control to the extent that the payments exceed an amount approximately three times their average annual compensation and Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a 20% excise tax on those payments. As described above, options options granted under our Equity Incentive Plan have or will contain provisions that accelerate vesting of all or a portion of the awards in connection with a change in control. To the extent that payments upon a change in control are classified as excess parachute payments, our company's tax deduction would be disallowed under Section 280G.

Pension Benefits Table

The Officers’ Retirement Plan is an unfunded defined benefit retirement plan that we maintain for our executives. Under the Officers’ Retirement Plan, if an executive retires of his or her own volition (and is not entitled to severance) after a minimum of either (a) age 60 with five years of service as an executive or (b) age 50 with ten years of service as an executive, he or she will be entitled to receive a single lump sum retirement payment equal to $10,000 for each year of service as an executive, pro-rated as appropriate. As of fiscal 2016 end, Messrs. Logue and Cook and Ms. Dahut are eligible to receive benefits under the Officers’ Retirement Plan upon retirement.



PENSION BENEFITS TABLE
Name	Plan Name	Number of Years Credited Service (#)	Present Value of Accumulated Benefits ¹ ($)	Payments During Last Fiscal Year ($)

(1)

The present value of accumulated benefits has been calculated in a manner consistent with our reporting of the Retired Officers’ Bonus Plan under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, using the Accumulated Benefit Obligation with the exception of the retirement rate assumptions. The amounts shown above reflect an assumption that each participant collects his or her benefit at the earliest age at which an unreduced benefit is available.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

In connection with the payment of each special dividend in fiscal years 2010, 2013, 2014, and 2015, holders of certain options (including our named executive officers with the exception of Mr. Cook) granted pursuant to our Officers’ Rollover Stock Plan to replace compensatory stock options initially granted by our predecessor received dividend equivalent rights that entitle the executive to receive, on the option’s fixed exercise date, a cash payment based on difference between adjustments made to the option exercise price in connection with the dividend and the amount of the special dividend. This payment was subject to vesting and forfeiture on the same terms as the related option and is paid in the same calendar year as the related option is required to be exercised. The final tranche of options under the Officers' Rollover Stock Plan were exercised in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, and the final dividend adjustment payments in respect of such options were made to our named executive officers on October 2, 2015, as reflected in the table below.

Employment Arrangements and Potential Payments upon Termination or a Change in Control

Historically, we have not entered into employment letters with our executive officers. However, in January 2014, we entered into employment letters, effective April 1, 2014, with certain senior level executives, including Messrs. Rozanski, Logue and Howell and Ms. Dahut due to the leadership changes and the need to align their compensation to the market as described above under "Employment Letters." Pursuant to the employment letters, payments upon termination of employment will be governed by the Company's severance, transition, retirement, disability or other policies, as applicable, as in effect from time to time, and subject to the terms and conditions of such policies. Consistent with our Transition Policy, which deals with departures other than retirement, resignation, death, disability and terminations for cause, each named executive officer is eligible for transition pay equal to four months of base pay, plus one additional month for each year of service as an executive, up to a maximum of twelve months’ base pay. Under the terms of our Transition Policy and Retirement Policy, all departure payments and benefits are contingent upon the executives’ signing of a general release.

Termination Payments

Under our Officers' Retirement Plan, if our named executive officers retire, they will each be entitled to receive a single lump sum retirement payment equal to $10,000 for each year of service as an executive, pro-rated as appropriate, and an annual allowance of $4,000 for financial counseling and tax preparation assistance. They are also eligible for a one-time payment of $5,000 upon entering retirement for financial counseling expenses associated with developing a retirement financial strategy. In addition, each of our named executive officers and their eligible dependents will be entitled to receive the benefit of employer-paid retiree medical and dental coverage for life.

We entered into a retirement letter agreement in fiscal 2016 with Mr. Cook in connection with his announced retirement. Contingent upon satisfactory completion of defined objectives set forth in the letter agreement, Mr. Cook is entitled to a payment of $230,000 in the event his employment terminates prior to September 30, 2016, or $180,000 in the event his employment terminates on or after September 30, 2016. Pursuant to the letter agreement, Mr. Cook is also eligible to receive a six-month fiscal 2017 bonus payable in cash on the Company’s established payment date for fiscal 2017 bonuses, and any outstanding restricted stock units held by Mr. Cook on his retirement date will continue to vest following his retirement. These payments and benefits are in addition to the benefits to be provided under the Officers’ Retirement Plan, as described above.

Change in Control Protections

We do not have change in control agreements with any of our employees.

Under the Equity Incentive Plan, if a change in control occurs, outstanding service-vesting options will vest immediately prior to the change in control, unvested performance-vesting options that are scheduled to vest in the year of the change in control, or that are subject to vesting under a catch-up vesting provision, vest immediately prior to the change in control if certain performance conditions are satisfied in the change in control and, unless determined otherwise by our Compensation Committee, restricted stock and restricted stock units will vest upon the change in control.

In addition, if during the five year period after a change in control our executives’ retiree medical plan is terminated or modified in a manner that is materially adverse to our executives, our executives, including our named executive officers, will be guaranteed their existing benefits under the plan during such five-year period and will receive a cash payment equal to the excess of the actuarial cost of the executive’s benefits under the plan that would be accrued on the company’s financial statements on the fifth anniversary of the change in control in the absence of the termination or modification over the amount that is accrued on our financial statements on the fifth anniversary of the change in control after giving effect to the termination or modification (but excluding the accrual on the payment itself).

The following table presents potential payments to each named executive officer as if the named executive officer’s employment had been terminated or a change in control had occurred as the last day of fiscal 2016. If applicable, amounts in the table were calculated using $30.28, the closing fair market value of our common stock on March 31, 2016. The actual amounts that would be paid to any named executive officer can only be determined at the time of an actual termination of employment or change in control and would vary from those listed below. The estimated amounts listed below are in addition to any retirement, welfare and other benefits that are available to our salaried employees generally.

(1)	Each named executive officer is eligible for transition pay under our Transition Policy upon an involuntary termination equal to four months of base pay, plus one additional month for each year of service as an executive, up to a maximum of twelve months’ base pay.

(2)

This column includes the value of the equity with accelerated vesting calculated using $30.28, the closing fair market value of our common stock on March 31, 2016, and the value of the deferred cash payment due to the named executive officers as a result of the special dividends paid on June 29, 2012, August 31, 2012, November 29, 2013, February 28, 2014, and August 29, 2014. In connection with the payment of these special dividends, holders of certain options granted pursuant to our Equity Incentive Plan, including the named executive officers, received dividend equivalent rights that entitle the holder to receive, on the option’s vesting date, a cash payment based on the amount of the special dividend. The accelerated vesting for a change in control is described in more detail under “Change in Control Protections.” In the event of death, all outstanding service-vesting and performance-vesting options immediately vest.


(3)	Each named executive officer has a $2 million life insurance policy. If the death was accidental, an additional $1.5 million would be paid. Survivors also receive one month’s base pay.


(4)	Includes present value of disability insurance payments that cover up to 60% of base salary and bonus with a maximum benefit of $25,000 per month ($300,000 per year). The amounts in this column were calculated by valuing the benefit as a standard annuity benefit based on the incidence of disability, using assumptions consistent with

FAS 87/106 accounting for our other benefit programs and, for the assumption of a rate of disability, the 1977 Social Security Disability Index table.

(5)

Amount includes actuarial present value of retiree medical benefits. The present value of accumulated benefits has been calculated in a manner consistent with our reporting of the Retired Officers’ Welfare Plan under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, using the Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation with an adjustment made to retirement age assumptions as required by SEC regulations.


(6)	Amount includes $30,000 outplacement assistance.

(7)

These amounts represent the actuarial present value of retiree medical benefits which were calculated as described in footnote 5 above. Amounts in this column also include the actuarial present value of up to $4,000 per year for financial counseling assistance and were calculated with the same assumptions we use to disclose our Retired Officers’ Bonus Plan, consistent with FAS 87, with an adjustment to the rate of retirement; the valuation is based on the discounted value of the full $4,000. Amount also includes a retirement gift of $10,000 as well as the depreciated value of bestowed office furniture and associated transportation costs, as applicable.


(8)	Benefits under the Officers’ Retirement Plan. This amount has been calculated using the methodology and assumptions described in footnote 1 to the Pension Benefits Table above.


(9)	Reflects the present value of the guaranteed benefits and cash payment of the actuarial cost of the executive’s benefits under the executives’ retiree medical plan, assuming that the plan was terminated during the five years following a change in control.


(10)	Messrs. Rozanski and Howell are not retirement eligible as executives as of March 31, 2016.


(11)	Contingent upon satisfactory completion of defined objectives set forth in the letter agreement, Mr. Cook is entitled to a payment of $230,000 in the event his employment terminates prior to September 30, 2016.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Management has the primary responsibility for the Company's financial statements and accounting and reporting processes, including the systems of internal accounting control. The Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and issuing a report thereon.

The Audit Committee is composed of three directors identified below, each of whom is an independent director as defined by applicable SEC rules and NYSE listing standards. Two committee members, Mark Gaumond and Joan Amble, have been designated by the Board as “audit committee financial experts” under applicable SEC rules. For further description of each committee member’s background and expertise, please refer to the director qualification section of our proxy statement beginning on page 5.

The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that it reviews annually and which is available free of charge on our website, www.boozallen.com. In accordance with its charter, the Audit Committee appoints the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, subject to stockholder ratification, and conducts an annual review of its performance. In addition, the Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by Ernst & Young LLP, and the fees for those services. The Audit Committee also oversees the Company’s internal audit function, including its annual audit plan, budget and staffing. As part of its oversight role, the Audit Committee meets throughout the year, separately and together, with each of management, the Company's internal auditors and Ernst & Young LLP.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management of the Company and Ernst & Young LLP, the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 (the “Audited Financial Statements”).

The Audit Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the matters required to be discussed under Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees.

The Audit Committee has: (i) considered whether non-audit services provided by Ernst & Young LLP are compatible with its independence; (ii) received the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young LLP required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding Ernst & Young LLP’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence; and (iii) discussed with Ernst & Young LLP its independence. The Audit Committee has reviewed significant audit findings prepared by Ernst & Young LLP, and those prepared by the Company's internal auditors as well as management's responses thereto.

Based on the reviews and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Audited Financial Statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PRE-APPROVAL OF SERVICES BY INDEPENDENT REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit, audit-related, tax, and other services performed by our independent auditors. The Audit Committee pre-approves specific categories of services up to pre-established fee thresholds. Unless the type of service had previously been pre-approved, the Audit Committee must approve that specific service before the independent auditors may perform it. In addition, separate approval is required if the amount of fees for any pre-approved category of service exceeds the fee thresholds established by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has delegated to the chair of the committee pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services, provided that the chair must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. All fees described below were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FEES

The following table presents the Company’s fees for services performed by its principal accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, during fiscal years 2016 and 2015.

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF ACCOUNTANTS

The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as the independent auditors to perform an integrated audit of the Company for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017. Ernst & Young LLP served as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. Stockholder approval of the appointment is not required.

The Board believes that obtaining stockholder ratification of the appointment is a sound corporate governance practice. If the stockholders do not vote on an advisory basis in favor of Ernst & Young LLP, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to hire the firm and may retain Ernst & Young LLP or hire another firm without resubmitting the matter for stockholders to approve. The Audit Committee retains the discretion at any time to appoint a different independent auditor.

Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the annual meeting, available to respond to appropriate questions, and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR ratification of the appointment of

Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm

for the Company for fiscal year 2017.

OTHER BUSINESS

The Board is not aware of any other matters to be presented at the annual meeting. If any other matter proper for action at the meeting should be presented, the holders of the accompanying proxy will vote the shares represented by the proxy on such matter in accordance with their best judgment. If any matter not proper for action at the meeting should be presented, the holders of the proxy will vote against consideration of the matter or the proposed action.

By order of the Board of Directors,

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY PROCEDURES

The Board of Directors is soliciting proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on July 28, 2016, beginning at 8:00 a.m. (EDT) at The John C. Newman Auditorium, located in our offices at 8283 Greensboro Drive, McLean, VA 22102.

Do I need an admission ticket to attend the annual meeting?

No; however, you must present both proof of ownership and valid photo identification to attend the annual meeting.


•	If you hold shares through an account with a bank or broker, contact your bank or broker to request a legal proxy from the owner of record to vote your shares in person. This will serve as proof of ownership.


•	A recent brokerage statement or letter from your broker showing that you owned shares in your account as of the record date, June 6, 2016, also serves as proof of ownership.

If you do not have proof of ownership and valid photo identification, you will not be admitted into the annual meeting.

Who is entitled to vote at the annual meeting?

Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to vote at the annual meeting. The Board has established the record date for the annual meeting as June 6, 2016. Only holders of record of the Company’s Class A common stock on the record date are entitled to receive notice of the meeting and to vote at the meeting.

How many shares must be present to hold the annual meeting?

In order for us to lawfully conduct business at the annual meeting, the holders of stock representing a majority of the voting power of all shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting must be present in person or represented by proxy. This is referred to as a quorum.

How many shares may I vote?

On June 6, 2016, 148,168,034 shares of our Class A common stock were outstanding. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote, and stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes for the election of directors.

What am I voting on and what are the Board’s recommendations?



Proposal	Description	Board's Voting Recommendation	Page Reference
No. 1	Election of 3 director nominees	FOR each nominee	5
No. 2	Ratification of appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered accounting firm for fiscal year 2017	FOR	47

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, Computershare, you are considered a “stockholder of record” with respect to those shares. We mail the proxy materials and our annual report to you directly.

If your shares are held in a brokerage account or bank, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those shares, which are held in “street name.” In this case, the proxy materials and our annual report were forwarded to you by your

broker or bank. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or bank how to vote your shares by following the voting instructions included in the mailing.

What is the procedure for voting?

If you are a stockholder of record of Class A common stock, you can vote your shares at the annual meeting by attending the meeting and completing a ballot or you can give a proxy to be voted at the annual meeting in one of three ways: (1) over the telephone by calling a toll-free number provided on the enclosed proxy card, (2) electronically via the Internet as described in the enclosed proxy card, or (3) date, sign, and complete the proxy card and return it in the enclosed envelope, which requires no postage stamp if mailed in the United States.

If you are a beneficial owner of Class A common stock, you can vote your shares at the annual meeting by attending the meeting in person if you have requested and received a legal proxy from your bank or broker which you must bring with you to the meeting, or you can give a proxy to be voted at the annual meeting in one of three ways: (1) over the telephone by calling a toll-free number provided on the enclosed proxy card, (2) electronically via the Internet as described in the enclosed proxy card, or (3) date, sign, and complete the proxy card and return it in the enclosed envelope, which requires no postage stamp if mailed in the United States.

Can I change my proxy?

You may revoke your proxy before it is voted at the annual meeting by delivering a signed revocation letter to the Secretary at 8283 Greensboro Drive, McLean, VA 22102 or by submitting a new proxy, dated later than your first proxy, in one of the ways described in the answer to the previous question. If you are attending in person and have previously mailed your proxy card, you may revoke your proxy and vote in person at the meeting.

Can other matters be decided at the annual meeting?

What is the vote required for each proposal?

For each of the proposals being considered at the annual meeting, approval of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the annual meeting represented either in person or by proxy at the annual meeting, except that directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes validly cast at the annual meeting.

What if I am a stockholder of record and do not provide voting instructions when returning a proxy?

Stockholders should specify their choice for each matter on the proxy card. Proxies that are signed and returned but do not contain voting instructions will be voted:


•	FOR the election of all director nominees as set forth in this proxy statement;


•	FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered accounting firm for fiscal year 2017.

What if I am a beneficial owner and do not give voting instructions to my broker?

If your shares are held by a broker in “street name,” your brokerage firm may vote your shares on certain “routine” matters if you do not provide voting instructions. The ratification of an independent registered public accounting firm is an example of a routine matter. If you do not provide voting instructions, your brokerage firm may either vote your shares on routine matters or leave your shares unvoted. When a brokerage firm votes its customers' shares on a routine matter without receiving voting instructions, these shares are counted both for establishing a quorum to conduct business at the meeting and in determining the number of shares voted for or against the routine matter. A brokerage firm cannot vote your shares on non-routine matters, such as the election of directors. If your brokerage firm has not

received voting instructions on a non-routine matter, these shares will be considered “broker non-votes” to the extent that the brokerage firm submits a proxy.

How are abstentions and broker non-votes counted?

Abstentions will be treated as present for purposes of determining a quorum but will not be included in vote totals and will not affect the outcome of the vote.

Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum but will have no effect on the outcome of the non-routine proposals.

Who will count the votes?

A representative from Broadridge Financial Services will tabulate the votes and act as the inspector of election for the annual meeting.

Who will bear the costs of soliciting votes for the annual meeting?

We will bear all costs of soliciting proxies. Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, we have elected to deliver a notice of Internet availability of proxy materials to stockholders and provide Internet access to those proxy materials. Stockholders may obtain paper copies of the proxy materials free of charge by following the instructions provided in the notice of Internet availability of proxy materials. We have also retained the services of Georgeson Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the annual meeting. The estimated cost of such services is $15,000, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the process of soliciting proxies.

When will the Company announce the voting results?

The preliminary voting results will be announced at the annual meeting. The Company will report the final results on our website and in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

Can I receive a copy of the Annual Report?

The annual report of the Company on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 is being furnished concurrently with this proxy statement to persons who were stockholders of record as of June 6, 2016, the record date for the annual meeting. These materials do not form part of the material for the solicitation of proxies.

What is “householding” and how does it affect me?

In some cases, stockholders holding their shares in a brokerage or bank account who share the same surname and address and have not given contrary instructions are receiving only one copy of our annual report on Form 10-K and this proxy statement. This reduces the volume of duplicate information received at your household and helps to reduce costs. If you would like to have additional copies of these documents mailed to you, please call or write our Secretary at 8283 Greensboro Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102, telephone: (703) 902-5000. If you want to receive separate copies of the proxy statement, annual report to stockholders, or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy per household, you should contact your bank, broker, or other nominee record holder.

How do I submit a proposal for action at the annual of meeting of stockholders in 2017?

Under applicable SEC rules and regulations, the Company will review for inclusion in next year’s proxy statement stockholder proposals received by February 16, 2017. Proposals should be sent to the Secretary of the Company at 8283 Greensboro Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102.

Pursuant to our second amended and restated bylaws, stockholder proposals not included in next year’s proxy statement may be brought before the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders by a stockholder of the Company who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who has given a written notice to the Secretary of the Company at 8283 Greensboro Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102 containing certain information specified in the bylaws and who was a stockholder of record at the time such notice was given. Such notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the address in

the preceding paragraph no earlier than March 30, 2017 and no later than April 29, 2017, except that if the date of the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is changed, and the meeting is held before June 28, 2017 or after October 6, 2017, such notice must be delivered at the address in the preceding paragraph no earlier than 120 days prior to the new date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the ninetieth day prior to the new date of such annual meeting and (ii) the tenth day following the day on which a public announcement of the new date of such annual meeting is first made.

Appendix A

Non-GAAP Measures

We publicly disclose certain non-GAAP financial measurements, including Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, or Adjusted Diluted EPS, because management uses these measures for business planning purposes, including to manage our business against internal projected results of operations and measure our performance. We view Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS as measures of our core operating business, which exclude the impact of the items detailed below, as these items are generally not operational in nature. These non-GAAP measures also provide another basis for comparing period to period results by excluding potential differences caused by non-operational and unusual or non-recurring items. We also utilize and discuss Free Cash Flow, because management uses this measure for business planning purposes, measuring the cash generating ability of the operating business, and measuring liquidity generally. We present these supplemental measures because we believe that these measures provide investors and securities analysts with important supplemental information with which to evaluate our performance, long term earnings potential, or liquidity, as applicable, and to enable them to assess our performance on the same basis as management. These supplemental performance measurements may vary from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies in our industry. Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow are not recognized measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and when analyzing our performance or liquidity, as applicable, investors should (i) evaluate each adjustment in our reconciliation of operating and net income to Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, and net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flows, and the explanatory footnotes regarding those adjustments, each as defined under GAAP, (ii) use Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS in addition to, and not as an alternative to, operating income, net income or diluted EPS, as measures of operating results, and (iii) use Free Cash Flows in addition to, and not as an alternative to, net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, each as defined under GAAP. We have defined the aforementioned non-GAAP measures as follows:

•

“Adjusted Operating Income” represents operating income before (i) certain stock option-based and other equity-based compensation expenses, (ii) adjustments related to the amortization of intangible assets, and (iii) transaction costs, fees, losses, and expenses, including fees associated with debt prepayments. We prepare Adjusted Operating Income to eliminate the impact of items we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary, or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.

•

“Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income before income taxes, net interest and other expense, and depreciation and amortization and before certain other items, including: (i) certain stock option-based and other equity-based compensation expenses and (ii) transaction costs, fees, losses, and expenses, including fees associated with debt prepayments. We prepare Adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of items we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary, or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.

•

“Adjusted Net Income” represents net income before: (i) certain stock option-based and other equity-based compensation expenses, (ii) transaction costs, fees, losses, and expenses, including fees associated with debt prepayments, (iii) adjustments related to the amortization of intangible assets, (iv) amortization or write-off of debt issuance costs and write-off of original issue discount, and (v) any extraordinary, unusual, or non-recurring items, in each case net of the tax effect calculated using an assumed effective tax rate. We prepare Adjusted Net Income to eliminate the impact of items, net of tax, we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary, or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.


•	“Adjusted Diluted EPS” represents diluted EPS calculated using Adjusted Net Income as opposed to net income. Additionally, Adjusted Diluted EPS does not contemplate any adjustments to net income as required under the two-class method as disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements.


•	“Free Cash Flow” represents the net cash generated from operating activities less the impact of purchases of property and equipment.
