WHAT IS THIS LAWSUIT ABOUT?

The initial complaint in this action was filed on February 22, 2012. On June 14, 2012, the Court appointed Lead Plaintiffs and Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP as Lead Counsel. On August 30, 2012, Lead Plaintiffs filed their Amended Class Action Complaint for Violations of the Federal Securities Laws (“Complaint”), which alleged claims on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of SAIC common stock between April 11, 2007 and September 1, 2011, inclusive. Specifically, the Complaint alleged that Defendant and the Former Defendants violated Sections10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by, inter alia, issuing false and misleading statements and failing to disclose loss contingencies and uncertainties associated with an overbilling scheme, perpetrated by two former employees and others, that defrauded New York City out of hundreds of millions of dollars in connection with the CityTime Project over a multi-year period. The Complaint further alleged that as a result of Defendant’s material omissions, SAIC common stock traded at artificially inflated prices.

In an effort to settle the Litigation, Lead Plaintiffs and Defendant engaged the services of Bruce A. Friedman, Esq. of JAMS, an experienced mediator. They prepared detailed mediation statements and engaged in a full-day in-person mediation session with Mr. Friedman on September 14, 2017. These efforts culminated with the parties agreeing in principle to settle the Litigation for Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,500,000), subject to the negotiation of the terms of a Stipulation of Settlement and approval by the Court.

WHAT DOES THE SETTLEMENT PROVIDE?

The Settlement provides that, in exchange for the release of the Released Claims and dismissal of the Litigation, the Defendant has agreed to pay (or cause to be paid) $6,500,000 in cash (the “Settlement Amount”). The Settlement Amount, plus accrued interest (the “Settlement Fund”) and minus the costs of the Notice and all costs associated with the administration of the Settlement, as well as expenses that may be approved by the Court (the “Net Settlement Fund”), will be distributed to eligible Class Members pursuant to the Plan of Allocation that is described in the Notice.
