Board of Directors

 

Director Nomination Procedures

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for reviewing potential Board nominees to determine whether they have the requisite qualifications, expertise and other characteristics for service on the Board and its committees and recommending qualified candidates to the Board for consideration at the Annual Meeting. In fulfillment of these responsibilities, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers the overall composition of the Board to determine whether the Board has a broad range of business experience, expertise, skills, perspectives, tenure and diversity, including gender, race and ethnicity, that allow the Board to draw upon many individual perspectives as the Board oversees, evaluates and advises management with respect to a wide variety of matters.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee evaluates candidates recommended by Board members, management, shareholders or consultants utilizing the following standards:

 

Demonstrated judgment, intelligence and character;

 

Record of substantial business experience relevant to the Company;

 

Ability to represent the interests of our shareholders;

 

Understanding of executive leadership, marketing, finance and corporate strategy;

 

Ability to dedicate sufficient time, energy and attention to the performance of their duties; and

 

Contribution to the range of talent, skill, expertise and individual characteristics of the Board.

Any shareholder who wishes to formally nominate a person for election as a director must comply with the advance notice provisions of the Company’s By-laws which are described in this proxy statement under “Annual Meeting Information” on page 62.

 

 

Board Composition

In order to determine the appropriate mix of professional experiences, expertise and backgrounds for the Board, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board discuss the Board’s composition during the year, and while the Board does not have a formal diversity policy, the Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board should be large enough to reflect a substantial diversity of perspectives, background and experiences and that the Board should consider the scope of diversity, inclusive of gender, race and ethnicity, represented on the Board.

We are committed to strong corporate governance practices designed to maintain high standards of oversight, integrity and ethics while promoting long-term shareholder value.

 

Governance Framework

 

Structure

 

The Board is responsible for the oversight of management on behalf of our shareholders and the Board accomplishes this function acting directly and through Board committees. In accordance with the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board has eight standing committees: Audit; Compensation; Corporate Governance and Nominating; Culture, Character, Integrity & Ethics; Executive; Investor Relations; Security and Risk Assessment; and Strategic Assessment. This governance structure allows the Board to provide focused advice, insight and oversight in the interests of the Company and our shareholders. The Board and its committees discharge their duties at Board and committee meetings, through telephone contact and other communications with management and others regarding matters of concern and interest to the Company.

 

 

Primary Governance Documents

 

Our governance structure and processes are based on our key governance documents, which include the following documents which can either be found on our website under “Corporate Governance” at www.caci.com or are available upon written request to CACI International Inc, 1100 North Glebe Road, Arlington, Virginia 22201, Attention: Investor Relations:

Additional information is provided below regarding key corporate governance and ethics policies and practices that we believe enable us to manage our business in accordance with the highest standards of business ethics and in the best interest of our shareholders.

Board of Directors

 

Board Leadership

 

The Board is responsible for determining the optimal leadership structure to provide independent oversight of senior management and evaluates the Board’s leadership structure on an annual basis. In evaluating its leadership structure, the Board considers our current operating and governance environment, governance best practices and feedback from our shareholders on how the Board can provide effective oversight of senior management on behalf of our shareholders. Based on these considerations, the Board has determined that separate positions for Chairman and CEO, coupled with a Lead Independent Director, provides an efficient and effective leadership model, fostering clear accountability, differing perspectives and effective decision making as the Chairman focuses on the Board activities while the CEO manages the day to day business. The chart below summarizes the roles and responsibilities of the Executive Chairman and Lead Independent Director:

Financial Performance Summary

 

Fiscal Year 2019 Performance

 

Below are charts outlining our performance over the last three fiscal years for the primary performance metrics used by the Compensation Committee in determining our NEOs’ compensation. The performance metrics for fiscal year 2018 are shown without the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”) that occurred during fiscal year

23


ExeCutive Compensation

 

2018, as that did not affect NEO compensation (i.e., payouts were determined without the increases to diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) and net after tax profit (“NATP”) caused by the legislation). The performance metrics were otherwise determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

 

The growth depicted in the performance charts had a substantial impact on our NEOs’ earned compensation over the course of this period. For fiscal year 2019, this resulted in an average achievement of 239% of the targeted annual incentive plan value and the growth of the Company’s stock price over the same period resulted in achievement of 117% of the performance-based equity awards granted to the NEOs during the fiscal year, for the first year of the three-year performance period.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2018 Say on Pay Vote

 

 

DECISION SUPPORT

As the Compensation Committee made its fiscal year 2019 compensation decisions, it considered that 96% of the votes cast on the Company’s fiscal year 2018 executive compensation program (the “Say on Pay” proposal) were voted in favor of the “Say on Pay” proposal at the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting. This continued the strong support as shown in 2016’s and 2017’s 99% approval rate. The Company also actively engages with our shareholders to understand our shareholders’ views towards the program and reviews comments from shareholder advisory services.

Pay for Performance Philosophy

 

The Compensation Committee believes our executive compensation program should incent and reward behaviors that build a foundation for our long-term performance and success while also supporting the achievement of annual objectives. Our performance assessment framework and executive compensation program are designed to reward such performance by linking our executives’ compensation to the achievement of both long- and short-term goals. For example, the annual incentives paid to each of our NEOs vary with performance, including our annual financial results.  Additionally, the NEOs receive two types of long-term incentive plan awards that will result in payouts only if we achieve targeted growth in such measures as stock price performance, EPS, NATP and revenue.

 

Executive Compensation Program Design

 

The substantial majority of our NEOs’ compensation is directly tied to our performance with short-term and long-term incentives comprising an average of approximately 78% of our NEOs’ target total direct compensation (“TDC”). The following is a list of the principal components of our executive compensation program:

 

Character

Component

Description

Fixed

Base Salary

   Annual fixed portion of NEOs’ TDC designed to attract and retain experienced executives, comprising only approximately an average of 22% of our executives’ target TDC in fiscal year 2019.

At Risk

Annual Incentives

   Cash bonus plan that rewards NEOs for achieving quarterly and annual performance objectives based on EPS, NATP, Total CACI Revenue and Direct Labor, calculated as described below.

Long-Term Incentives

   Performance-based Restricted Stock Units (“PRSUs”) earned based on achievement of a minimum one-year EPS threshold, adjusted for annual changes in stock price over a three-year period, and vesting on the third and fourth grant anniversaries.

  Cash-based long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) provides value to the executive only to the extent NATP and revenue significantly outperformed plan over a three-year period. The Compensation Committee reviews the LTIP annually and has sole discretion for approving new plans. In fiscal year 2019, the Committee decided not to implement a new LTIP plan due to incentives that already existed from prior years’ plans.

 

Performance Assessment

 

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee uses a comprehensive process to assess performance on an ongoing basis, which includes frequent dialogue with management about financial performance relative to our goals and competitors, and assessment of corporate and individual executive accomplishments.

Independent Consultant

The Compensation Committee also asks its independent compensation consultant to assess our pay-for-performance alignment, which includes an analysis of our NEOs’ realizable pay relative to our peer group and an analysis of operational and shareholder returns relative to our peer group.

Compensation Governance, Process and Incentive Decisions

 

Decision Making

 

The Decision Makers

 

The Compensation Committee, composed solely of independent directors, is responsible for our executive officer compensation decisions. The Compensation Committee works very closely with its independent consultant and management to examine pay and performance matters during the year. The Compensation Committee held seven meetings over the course of fiscal year 2019, and all four quarterly meetings either ended or started with executive sessions without management present. The Compensation Committee’s charter may be accessed through the “Corporate Governance” link found on our website at http://investor.caci.com/corporate_governance.

 

Compensation Committee’s Independent Compensation Consultant

 

The Compensation Committee retained Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“FW Cook”) as its independent compensation consultant. With respect to fiscal year 2019, the compensation consultant attended Compensation Committee meetings, met with the Compensation Committee in executive sessions, reviewed and provided recommendations on the components of the Company’s executive compensation program and provided compensation advice independent of the Company’s management.

 

FW Cook reports directly to the Committee and performs no work for management other than providing advice on executive compensation pursuant to its engagement by the Committee. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of FW Cook pursuant to SEC rules and concluded that its work for the Compensation Committee did not raise any conflicts of interest.

Making Decisions

 

The Compensation Committee has both a strategic and administrative role in managing the compensation structure of the Company, with an emphasis on compensation of top management.  Strategically, the Compensation

Committee considers how the achievement of the overall goals and objectives of the Company can be aided through adoption of an appropriate compensation philosophy and effective program elements.

 

Administratively, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation paid, salary progressions, incentive compensation allocations, benefits and perquisites provided to all employees, and equity awards granted under all shareholder-approved plans.

 

The Compensation Committee is responsible for setting the compensation, including incentive and equity-based compensation, of the Company’s executive officers, including NEOs.

 

The Committee reviews corporate performance each quarter, and assesses progress for each goal in the annual incentive program and active long-term incentive programs from current and prior fiscal years. The Committee uses a performance assessment framework to make CEO compensation decisions. For the other NEOs, the Committee, with input from the CEO, reviews (1) business unit/staff group performance against the objectives set for the fiscal year, and (2) each NEO’s Leadership Assessment based on individual performance with regard to key leadership attributes. The Committee evaluates each NEO’s relative compensation and changes in responsibilities and considers current pay practices for comparable positions at peer companies. The Committee also considers the CEO’s recommendations, succession planning, retention, and advice of its independent compensation consultant. Finally, before making pay decisions, the Committee reviews the pay mix to ensure that it is competitively positioned and performance-based. The Committee also discusses other information relevant to executive compensation, such as trends, regulatory updates, and shareholder feedback.

Process

The Compensation Committee followed the process outlined below to determine and assess NEO compensation in fiscal year 2019:

 

FY 2018/2019

Q4 FY2018 | ending 6/30/2018

Finalized fiscal year 2019 compensation program design

Finalized metrics and goals for the fiscal year 2019 annual incentive plan

Set total target direct compensation for the NEOs

 

DETERMINE TDC TARGETS FOR THE NEOs

 

At the end of fiscal year 2018, the Compensation Committee determined fiscal year 2019 TDC targets for the CEO and each of the other NEOs employed at the time based on the following process:

Leadership Evaluation: The Compensation Committee uses a performance assessment framework to make CEO compensation decisions. For the other NEOs, the Compensation Committee, with input from the CEO, reviews (1) performance against the objectives set in fiscal year 2018, and (2) each NEO’s Leadership Assessment based on individual performance with regard to key leadership attributes.

Risk-Balancing and Performance: In evaluating the performance of the NEOs, the Compensation Committee seeks to understand what was accomplished relative to established objectives, how it was accomplished, the quality of financial results and the Company’s strategic positioning for future competitive advantage.

Market Practices: The Compensation Committee evaluates each NEO’s relative compensation and changes in responsibilities and considers current pay practices for comparable positions at peer companies.

Independent Consultant Input: The Compensation Committee receives input from its independent compensation consultant.

Other Factors: For the other NEOs, the Compensation Committee also considers the CEO’s recommendations, succession planning and retention. Finally, before making pay decisions, the Compensation Committee reviews the pay mix to ensure that it is competitively positioned and performance-based.

 

PROGRAM DESIGN AND GOAL SETTING

 

At the end of fiscal year 2018, the Compensation Committee also finalized the fiscal year 2019 annual incentive plan. Early in fiscal year 2019, they also reviewed and approved the metrics and goals for the PRSUs.

FY 2017/2018 FY 2019

 

Assessing Competitive Practice

 

FW Cook assists the Committee by reviewing comparative market data on compensation practices and programs within the Company’s peer group.

 

During fiscal year 2019, FW Cook was responsible for providing information on new laws and regulations, general industry compensation practices, recommendations for director compensation and compensation for management positions under the Committee’s purview, and for performing independent assessments of management recommendations brought before the Committee. FW Cook participated in all meetings of the Committee during the fiscal year.

 

For fiscal year 2019, peer comparisons were performed against 17 publicly traded companies which were selected based on similarities to CACI in size and/or industry as well as operational similarities. The selected companies were as follows:

 

Acxiom Corporation

Alliance Data Systems Corporation

Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.

Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation

Convergys Corporation

CSRA Inc.

Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.

Fiserv, Inc.

Harris Corporation

Leidos Holdings, Inc.

ManTech International Corporation

MAXIMUS, Inc.

Science Applications International Corporation

Sykes Enterprises, Inc.

Tetra Tech, Inc.

Unisys Corporation

 

 

 

 

The companies used for peer comparisons are reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary due to changes at the selected company (e.g., acquisitions, bankruptcies, etc.) or changes in the comparability of the selected company to CACI. For fiscal year 2019, there were no changes from the peer group used in fiscal year 2018.

 

General industry market information for NEO and other senior executive compensation was also provided for the Compensation Committee by Willis Towers Watson, which did not provide advice or analysis regarding the data provided.

 

 

Determining Executive Compensation

 

Executive Compensation Objectives

Our NEO compensation programs are designed to attract, retain and reward the management talent that we need to maintain and strengthen our position in the industry and to achieve our business objectives.

OUR COMPENSATION PRINCIPLES

 

Our compensation programs for NEOs are guided by three basic principles:

 

Link compensation to performance. We believe that compensation levels should reflect performance - both the performance of CACI and the performance of the recipient.

 

Maintain competitive compensation levels.  We strive to offer programs and levels of compensation that are competitive with those offered by the Company’s peer group to attract, retain and reward our NEOs.

 

Align management’s interests with those of shareholders.  We seek to implement programs that will align management’s interests with those of shareholders and increase long-term shareholder value by granting long-term equity incentive awards each year.

Fiscal Year 2019 Base Salaries

In June 2018, the Compensation Committee reviewed our NEOs’ base salaries compared to the median of base salaries for comparable executives among our peer group and to reflect individual performance in fiscal year 2018. In addition, the Company’s overall annual fiscal year 2019 merit increase guidance applicable to all employees was considered. After consideration the Committee decided to provide base salary adjustments above the Company’s average fiscal year 2019 raise percentage due to the Company’s strong performance in fiscal year 2019; the Committee also determined that these new salaries were in line with the competitive median of the Company’s peer group and the general industry market analysis.  

 

The adjustments approved by the Compensation Committee became effective August 1, 2018.

Fiscal Year 2019 Annual Incentives

 

Target Annual Incentives

 

Our annual incentive program is a cash incentive plan designed to motivate our executive officers to achieve pre-established quarterly and annual performance objectives. In establishing target annual incentives for fiscal year 2019, the Compensation Committee reviewed our NEOs’ total target cash compensation, including forecasted results of the LTIP, relative to our peers and made certain adjustments to more closely align our NEOs’ total target cash compensation to the Company’s peer group. The table below shows the fiscal year 2019 NEO target annual incentive levels that were approved by the Compensation Committee in June 2018.

 

For Dr. London, the Committee re-evaluated the annual incentive compensation for the Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board position. The Committee reviewed the current responsibilities of the position as well as internal pay equity considerations and determined that a larger increase was warranted to his annual incentive plan to better align his annual incentive targets to his role within the Company. This was also validated against market data provided by the Committee’s compensation consultants.

Design

 

The annual incentive plan has both annual and quarterly components to ensure that executives are focused on performance throughout the fiscal year. These components are described below:

 

Component

Determination

Annual

Established at the beginning of the fiscal year and may be modified by the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year due to changes in business conditions (e.g., acquisitions, major corporate events, etc.). During fiscal year 2019, no modifications were made.

Quarterly

Established at the beginning of the fiscal year and reviewed at the beginning of each quarter, with each quarter representing 10% of the annual incentive program for each NEO.

 

Fiscal Year 2019 Targets

 

At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee establishes the performance metrics applicable to the annual and quarterly components of the annual incentive program. The performance metrics are selected to incent the Company’s growth and support the interests of the Company’s shareholders and are applied to each executive based on their responsibilities. For fiscal year 2019, the Compensation Committee used the same performance metrics as fiscal year 2018 for our NEOs, as they determined the metrics were effective and properly incenting behavior:

 

Performance Metric

Purpose

 

NATP

 

NATP is the primary indicator of our performance that is controlled by us and is used as the primary incentive metric to ensure our executives’ focus on overall profitability.  

EPS

EPS is a measure of profitability that is commonly used by our shareholders in evaluating our performance.

CACI Total Revenue

Revenue is our primary measure of growth which requires expansion of current business and the capture of new business. To incent organic growth, the Committee decided to evaluate whether to include acquired revenue in the measurement of this metric after the completion of each acquisition. For fiscal year 2019, CACI Total Revenue was computed in accordance with GAAP and included revenue from all acquisitions.

CACI Direct Labor

Direct labor is a measure of the amount of work performed by employees, as opposed to costs from other sources. It is also a measure of the quality of revenue, as increased direct labor can lead to organic growth and margin improvement.

After determining the appropriate performance metrics and weights applicable to the annual incentive program, the Compensation Committee establishes the target performance levels for each performance metric at the beginning of the fiscal year. The performance targets for each metric are established based on the Company’s five-year strategic plan, current business environment, review of the competitive market, historical performance against targets and the Company’s desire for growth.

 

Once performance targets are established for each performance metric, the Compensation Committee determines appropriate lower, or “Cut,” threshold levels for each metric and upper, or “Stretch,” threshold levels. For performance below Cut levels, no bonus is awarded. For performance at or above Cut levels, bonus payouts are prorated on a straight-line basis. For performance goals that represent profit metrics, bonus payouts for performance above Stretch levels are calculated as a percentage of the NEOs’ respective metric performance.  Total payment for the annual incentive program is capped at 250% of the target payout for each NEO.

 

The ranges between Cut, Target and Stretch thresholds are based upon multiple factors assessed by the Compensation Committee, including historical ranges and historical performance against Target, Cut, and Stretch thresholds. For fiscal year 2019, for NATP and EPS, the Committee set the Cut thresholds at 94% of Target and Stretch thresholds at 104% of Target. For CACI Total Revenue and Direct Labor, the Committee set the Cut thresholds at 96% of Target and Stretch thresholds at 104% of Target. The higher Cut threshold for Total Revenue and Direct Labor was set to incent management to achieve targets for organic growth, as a 94% threshold would have provided an incentive payout even for a reduction in performance compared to fiscal year 2018.

In consideration of the performance outlined above, the table below provides a summary of the annual incentives actually earned by our NEOs. The differences in the payouts as a percentage of target despite all NEOs having the same metrics is due to the impact of performing above Stretch for the NATP metric. Dr. London and Mr. Asbury receive 2.0% of the amount that NATP exceeds the Stretch level up to a total earned annual incentive of 250% of their target payout, and the other NEOs receive 1.5% of the amount that NATP exceeds the Stretch level up to a total earned annual incentive of 250% of their target payout.

Fiscal Year 2019 Long-Term Incentives

 

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (PRSUs)

A significant portion of our NEOs’ TDC is granted in the form of PRSUs that are designed to improve shareholder value and contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company. To receive any shares granted under the award, the Company must reach a minimum one-year EPS threshold. If the minimum threshold is met, then any earned shares are earned over a three-year performance period with the number of shares earned each year adjusted by the percentage growth or decline from the average stock price over the 90 calendar days immediately preceding the grant to the average stock price over the 90 calendar days immediately preceding the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to an overall cap of 200% of the target number of PRSUs granted. Once earned, the shares vest ratably on the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Below is a hypothetical example of how PRSUs are earned and vested:

The EPS threshold for fiscal year 2019 was set at $7.00. This was based on anticipated potential delays from new business awards compared to what was in the fiscal year 2019 plan, which was considered to be a realistic possibility given the dynamics of the government services industry.

 

During the annual review of the equity program, the Compensation Committee considered other formats, such as stock options, stock appreciation rights, non-performance-based RSUs, performance-based equity that leverages other financial metrics approved within the CACI 2016 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan, and performance-based equity based on relative performance metrics against a defined peer group or stock market index. Regarding the use of relative performance metrics, it was determined that the existing and anticipated turnover of companies in the competitive market due to acquisitions, spin-offs, privatization, new public offerings and other similar transactions made the measurement over a three-year period unfeasible at this time. Further, feedback from our investors in recent years about the potential usage of a stock market index for a relative performance metric indicated that such a metric would receive little support.

 

The Compensation Committee used market data provided by its compensation consultants to set the target value of equity for the NEOs. Based on this review, the Compensation Committee made certain adjustments to align our NEOs with the median of our peer group.

 

For Dr. London, the Committee re-evaluated the long-term incentive compensation for the Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board position. The Committee reviewed the current responsibilities of the position as well as internal pay equity considerations and determined that a larger increase was warranted to his annual incentive plan to better align his annual incentive targets to his role within the Company. This was also validated against market data provided by the Committee’s compensation consultants.

Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) (Cash)

 

The LTIP is a separate plan, independent of other incentive programs administered by the Compensation Committee.  The LTIP is a cash-based plan, designed to incent long-term growth and profitability, with performance metrics set at very challenging levels. The Compensation Committee has historically selected NATP and revenue as performance metrics for the LTIP to incent higher levels of long-term growth along these important metrics.

36


ExeCutive Compensation

 

 

The cash incentives under the LTIP are distributed at the end of a three-year period, with a third of the value earned on a one-year performance period, a third of the value earned on a cumulative two-year performance period and a third of the value earned on a cumulative three-year performance period that are each established at the time the target award is determined. Metrics are set for all three years at the time the plan is approved.

 

 

The Compensation Committee reviews the LTIP annually and has sole discretion for approving new plans and selecting participants for the plans. In fiscal year 2019, the Committee decided not to implement a new LTIP plan due to incentives that already existed from prior years’ plans. Plans approved in fiscal years 2017 and 2018 remained active in fiscal year 2019 with the metrics previously approved. Among the NEOs, Mr. Mengucci, Mr. Mutryn and Ms. Gray participated in one or both of the prior years’ LTIPs, which cover fiscal year 2019 performance.

 

 

At the conclusion of each fiscal year after grant, CACI’s performance against the metrics is measured. If both metrics are achieved, each participant would earn 100% of their LTIP potential for that year. If only NATP or revenue is achieved, only a portion of the annual potential would be earned. The performance metrics, weightings and targets for the 2019 performance periods for the 2017 LTIP and the 2018 LTIP are below (in millions). The NATP targets were increased from the original metrics to account for the impact of the TCJA that occurred during fiscal year 2018, so that participants would not unduly benefit from the increases to NATP that resulted from that legislation.

CEO Transition

 

On June 3, 2019, the Board appointed Mr. Mengucci to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective July 1, 2019. In connection with the appointment, the Board approved an employment agreement that provides for a base salary of $950,000 and an incentive bonus target, based upon achievement of Company profitability, revenue, and other operational goals, of $1,275,000. For information on severance arrangements extended to Mr. Mengucci in connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer as of July 1, 2019, see “Severance Agreements” below.

Other Compensation Policies and Practices

 

Benefits and Executive Perquisites

 

All NEOs are entitled to receive a Company-provided automobile or an allowance to obtain an automobile. In fiscal year 2018 the Compensation Committee also approved a new benefit for Dr. London to receive a full-time car service; this benefit took effect during fiscal year 2019. All automobile benefits are fully taxable as ordinary income; no tax gross-up is provided.

 

All NEOs are also eligible for annual financial planning services. The value of these services is also fully taxable as ordinary income; no tax gross-up is provided.

 

In addition, we provide a $25,000 discretionary benefit allowance per calendar year to the President and Chief Executive Officer and to the Chairman of the Board and Executive Chairman. This allowance can be used for business or personal expenses. All personal benefit received from this allowance is fully taxable as ordinary income; no tax gross-up is provided.

 

Furthermore, Dr. London has a medical agreement that provides lifetime participation in the Company’s executive medical plan for him and his spouse to the extent permitted by law, with such participation on the same basis that existed just prior to any merger, consolidation, or change in control of the Company.

 

Executives are also permitted to participate in the Company’s other employee benefit plans on substantially the same terms as other employees. For example, the Company makes matching contributions to our 401(k) plan based on employee contributions, and executives receive the same benefit.

 

All amounts related to perquisites for NEOs are disclosed in column (i) of the Summary Compensation Table, along with details on their valuations.

 

Severance and Change in Control Benefits

 

The Company currently maintains severance agreements with all NEOs except for Ms. Gray, who fell under the Company’s general policy for executives during fiscal year 2019, which provided for six months’ salary upon involuntary separation without cause. The purpose of the agreements is to provide those executives with a degree of security and to mitigate concern that they might have regarding their continued employment prior to or following a change in control, thereby allowing the executive to focus their undivided attention to serving the interests of the Company and our shareholders. The Company believes that appropriate severance arrangements are necessary to attract and retain these key executives and are an important part of a competitive overall compensation program for the NEOs.

 

In the event of a change in control, the severance benefits are generally payable only upon a “double trigger,” meaning that severance benefits are triggered when an eligible executive is involuntarily terminated without cause by the Company or resigns for “good reason” within one year following a change in control. This “double trigger” provision was implemented to be consistent with good market practices. We believe this program encourages retention in the face of an actual or potential change in control and aligns executive and shareholder interests. Furthermore, the program allows top executives to review corporate transactions that are in the best interests of our shareholders without concern over whether the transactions may adversely impact the executive’s employment.

 

Per the terms of his employment agreement, Dr. London is entitled to severance benefits if he voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason within one year of a change in control; this term was negotiated in good faith with Dr. London in 2007 and was part of prior employment agreements, and the Compensation Committee has decided that new employment agreements will contain a “double trigger” provision as outlined in the preceding paragraph.

 

38


ExeCutive Compensation

 

All equity awards granted since 2010 have provided for “double trigger” vesting acceleration in the event of a change in control, under which vesting accelerates only upon a change in control and involuntary termination without cause or resignation for good reason within one year after the change of control.

 

The following separation terms also apply to the Company’s long-term incentive programs:

 

 

RSU Grants:

Grant recipients over age 62 as of July 1, 2008 (“grandfathered employees”) who retire at or above age 65 vest in all RSUs upon retirement unless the RSUs are still in the first year of their measurement period, in which case they are forfeited upon retirement. Non-grandfathered executives who retire at age 62 or older vest in a prorated portion of the RSUs based upon their number of months of service after the grant date divided by the full vesting timeframe; the numbers of RSUs received are still subject to the results of the performance conditions. A grantee terminated without cause is entitled to the same treatment as a non-grandfathered executive retiring at age 62 or older. Dr. London is the only grandfathered executive among the NEOs.

 

 

LTIP:

In the event of a change in control during the three-year performance period, participants will receive payment for bonuses earned for completed fiscal years as well as for the annual bonus potential for the current fiscal year at the time the change in control event is legally consummated and binding (subject to IRS regulations or other laws/regulations).

 

Calculations for various termination scenarios are included in the “Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control” section of this proxy statement.

 

For information on severance arrangements extended to Mr. Mengucci in connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer as of July 1, 2019, see “Severance Agreements” below.

 

Retirement Plans

 

The Company offers a non-qualified deferred compensation plan to encourage employees to save for their retirement. Eligible employees, which include all NEOs, may elect to contribute up to 50% of their U.S. base salary and 100% of their U.S. bonuses and commissions to this plan on a pre-tax basis. The Company contributes 5% of all income over the compensation limit in section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”) to participants, subject to plan vesting conditions, and may make a supplemental discretionary contribution to a participant’s account in any amount it elects. No discretionary contributions were made in fiscal year 2019.

 

On June 3, 2019, the Company provided a SERP pursuant to Mr. Mengucci’s initial employment offer that provides certain benefits to offset the forfeiture of potential benefits from previous employment. Mr. Mengucci is the only active employee with a SERP. The SERP provides for annual, lifetime payments of $270,000 upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of Mr. Mengucci’s employment on or after December 1, 2022, unless such termination is for cause (as defined in Mr. Mengucci’s employment agreement) which would result in the forfeiture of all benefits under the SERP. Upon his death, a surviving spouse will receive annual, lifetime payments of $135,000. If Mr. Mengucci voluntarily terminates his employment other than for good reason prior to December 1, 2022, Mr. Mengucci will receive a pro rata portion of the payment amount based on his period of executive service beginning June 3, 2019. In the event of a Change of Control, Mr. Mengucci and a spouse will receive the full benefits payable under the SERP unless Mr. Mengucci is terminated for cause or voluntarily terminates his employment other than for good reason. The Company provides no other executive a SERP and does not currently anticipate doing so in the future.

 

Management Stock Purchase Plan

 

The Company offers a Management Stock Purchase Plan (“MSPP”) to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company by providing executives with incentives to improve shareholder value and to contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company. The MSPP also helps executives to meet their mandated stock ownership requirements. The Board believes that the MSPP serves these goals, encouraging executives to convert a higher

39


ExeCutive Compensation

 

percentage of their cash compensation into Company equity.

 

The MSPP provides for equity ownership in the Company by senior officers by allowing the voluntary deferral of up to 100% of the annual portion of their annual incentive plan compensation into RSUs. All deferred shares are bought at a discount of up to 15%, as determined annually by the Compensation Committee, of fair market value. The Company may grant matching awards in an amount not to exceed 25% of the participant’s deferrals and subject to such vesting or other restrictions or conditions as the Compensation Committee determines.

 

The amount of the discount to fair market value and matching grant is determined by the Compensation Committee no later than December 31st of the fiscal year in which the bonus is earned. During fiscal year 2019, the Compensation Committee approved a 15% discount with no matching.

 

The benefit provided from MSPP purchases for each NEO is listed in column (i) of the Summary Compensation Table.

 

Stock Ownership Requirements

 

The Compensation Committee maintains executive stock ownership requirements for senior officers to focus those executives on the long-term growth in value of the Company and to ensure they act as owners of the Company. The stock ownership requirements are based on a multiple of the executive’s salary as set forth below and the number of shares required to be held is determined annually based on the 90-day average stock price on July 1. The required multiple for each executive is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee to ensure that it provides enough incentive to properly align the interests of senior management with those of our shareholders.

 

Until an executive meets the required number of shares, they are limited with respect to the number of shares they are allowed to sell, and are only allowed to sell one-half of the shares issued with respect to vested RSUs that remain after payment of taxes (standard practice is to sell a portion of shares that vest to cover the tax burden caused by the vesting); the other one-half that must be retained is used to determine the interim ownership requirement until the full number of shares is reached, with each successive vesting being added to the prior interim requirement in order to establish the new requirement.

 

Based on these requirements, the full number of shares required to be held by each of our NEOs, the multiple of each executive’s base salary full ownership would represent, and the requirement as of July 1, 2019 provided in the table below. The Compensation Committee believes these salary multiples are robust and above comparable peer levels.

Stockholdings are measured annually as of July 1st to determine compliance with the requirements, which are based upon the prior year’s level plus one-half of all vested restricted stock and/or restricted stock units after taxes are withheld since the prior July 1st. Only fully owned shares count in the measurement; unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units do not count, nor do any other unvested and/or unexercised instruments.

 

To encourage compliance, a noncompliant senior officer is required to participate in the MSPP with 100% of the

40


ExeCutive Compensation

 

annual portion of his or her annual incentive plan compensation being applied to acquire RSUs until such time that he or she meets the required holding level.

 

All NEOs are in compliance with their respective stock ownership requirements as of July 1, 2019.

 

The Company has not adopted a formal policy regarding the ability of employees or directors to purchase financial instruments or otherwise engage in transactions that hedge or offset any decrease in the value of the Company’s shares. The Company does require pre-approval of any transaction related to the Company’s securities by the Company’s executive officers and directors.

 

Compensation Clawback Policy

 

We maintain a formal “clawback” policy for incentive awards that is broader in its reach than that imposed by Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). The policy was adopted in fiscal year 2010 and covers incentive awards to “officers” (as defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act). Under the policy, in the event of a restatement of previously reported financial results, the Compensation Committee may require reimbursement of the incremental portion of incentive awards paid to executive officers in excess of the awards that should properly have been paid based on the restated financial results.

 

The Compensation Committee is monitoring this policy to ensure that it remains consistent with applicable laws, including emerging requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

 

Impact of Regulatory Requirements

 

The Compensation Committee seeks regular updates on changes in regulations affecting compensation and how they impact executive compensation. The Compensation Committee considers applicable regulatory requirements when making compensation decisions and seeks to ensure that Company compensation plans continue to meet such requirements.

 

Prior to its amendment by the TCJA, which was enacted December 22, 2017, section 162(m) of the IRC (“Section 162(m)”), disallowed a tax deduction to public companies for compensation paid in excess of $1 million to “covered employees” under Section 162(m). Prior to this amendment, there was an exception to this $1 million limitation for performance-based compensation if certain requirements were met. The Compensation Committee has historically designed its compensation programs based on its belief that a substantial portion of the compensation payable to NEOs should be based on the achievement of performance-based targets or otherwise be designed with the intent that such compensation qualifies as deductible performance-based compensation under Section 162(m).

 

As in prior years, the Compensation Committee will continue to take into account the tax and accounting implications (including with respect to the expected lack of deductibility under the revised Section 162(m)) when making compensation decisions, but reserves its right to make compensation decisions based on other factors if the Compensation Committee determines that it is in the Company’s best interests to do so.  Further, taking into account the elimination of the exception for performance-based compensation, the Compensation Committee may determine to make changes or amendments to the Company’s existing compensation programs in order to revise aspects of our programs that were initially designed to comply with Section 162(m) but that may no longer provide the intended tax advantages.

 

Risk Assessment

 

The Company performs an annual assessment of the Company’s overall compensation risk profile. The Compensation Committee also engages FW Cook to review the assessment of the Company’s executive and non-executive compensation programs.

 

41


ExeCutive Compensation

 

As a part of this risk assessment, the Company has made the following findings about CACI’s compensation programs:

 

 

the Board and the Compensation Committee exercise close oversight over the performance measures utilized by the annual incentive plan and the long-term incentive plans, which in combination serve to balance short-term and long-term performance requirements and enhance shareholder value;

 

the performance objectives of the plans are linked such that achievement of annual incentive plan measures serves to enhance the performance of the Company while also supporting the goals established for the LTIP;

 

the balance of total compensation is more heavily weighted to long-term incentives, and increasing the stock price over the long-term provides the maximum incentive value; and

 

the Company has a rigorous system of internal controls designed to prevent any individual employee from creating adverse material risk in pursuit of short- or long-term compensation.  For example, the Board must approve all capital outlays of $10 million or more, as well as all acquisitions and divestitures of $5 million or more.

 

Based on these analyses, the Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s compensation programs do not encourage excessive risk-taking.

 

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. Based upon such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 be included in the Company’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company made a $250,000 sign-on bonus to Ms. Gray in fiscal year 2017.   The Company did not make any other non-performance-based bonus payments to any NEOs in fiscal years 2019, 2018, or 2017.

(3)

The amounts reported in the Stock Awards column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of each restricted stock unit granted during such year, as computed in accordance with ASC 718.  See Note 21 of the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 21, 2019.  RSUs awarded to all NEOs were in the form of performance-based RSUs. The grant date fair value of Mr. Mengucci’s November 28, 2017 grant was equal to the closing stock price on that day ($129.85).  The grant date fair value of all other PRSU awards was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation method.  With the exception of Mr. Mengucci’s November 28, 2017 grant which is based on the Company's EPS performance in the year ended June 30, 2019, the PRSUs granted are based on the following: Based on the Company’s performance during the year ended June 30, 2019 and the Company’s stock price for the 90 day period ended October 1, 2019 as compared to the stock price for the 90 day period ended October 1, 2018, the award is currently at 117% of the target award; if we achieve maximum performance conditions for this grant (200% of the target amount of PRSUs due to growth in the Company’s stock price), then the cash value of the resulting awards would be 346% of the amounts shown in the table. Based on the Company’s performance during the year ended June 30, 2018 and the Company’s stock price for the 90 day period ended September 15, 2019 and September 15, 2018 as compared to the stock price for the 90 day period ended September 15, 2017, the award is currently at 155% of the target award; if we achieve maximum performance conditions for this grant (200% of the target amount of PRSUs due to growth in the Company’s stock price), then the cash value of the resulting awards would be 332% of the amounts shown in the table. Based on the Company’s performance during the year ended June 30, 2017 and the Company’s stock price for the 90-day period ended September 30, 2019, September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 as compared to the stock price for the 90-day period ended September 30, 2016. The PRSUs granted in fiscal year 2017 resulted in 183% of the target award level

Amounts reported in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column represent performance-based incentive compensation earned in fiscal years 2019, 2018, or 2017.  Mr. Mengucci’s, Mr. Mutryn’s, and Ms. Gray’s Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation includes amounts earned under the LTIP that will be paid in fiscal years 2019 and 2020.

COMPENSATION TABLES

CEO Pay Ratio

 

In accordance with Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) during fiscal year 2019 (Mr. Asbury) to the annual total compensation of our median employee was computed to be 77 to 1 for fiscal year 2019, based on the methodology described below.

As of June 30, 2019, our total employee population consisted of approximately 21,100 individuals, including our CEO. We compared the annual base salary or wages of all employees, with the exception of Mr. Asbury, as reflected in our human resources systems of record; as part of this process we annualized compensation of any employees who were employed of less than the full fiscal year, but we did not annualize the compensation for employees in temporary or seasonal positions or make full time equivalent adjustments for part-time employees. This measure was consistently applied to all individuals in the measured employee population to identify our “median employee.”

We then calculated the annual total compensation of the median employee for fiscal year 2019 using the same methodology we used for purposes of determining the annual total compensation of our CEO in the Summary Compensation Table. This yielded compensation for the median employee of $105,607.

The annual total compensation of Mr. Asbury, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table above, was $8,129,257. The ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Asbury to the compensation of the median employee was then computed, yielding the final result of 77 to 1. We believe this is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

We note that, in determining the employees from which the median employee is identified, SEC rules permit companies to use statistical sampling, reasonable estimates and other reasonable methods. As a result, the pay ratios reported by other companies may have been calculating using methodologies, exclusions and estimates that differ from the ones we used to calculate our pay ratio. Accordingly, our pay ratio may not be directly comparable to the pay ratios of other companies.

Severance Agreements

We have severance agreements with each of our NEOs other than Ms. Gray. No changes have been made to these agreements since the beginning of fiscal year 2019, with the exception of Mr. Mengucci, whose revised agreement is described in more detail below.

The term of each NEO’s severance agreement is one year with automatic one-year extensions thereafter (except for the agreement provided to Mr. Asbury, which was three years with automatic one-year extensions thereafter), unless the Company provides written notice of the Company’s intent to amend the Company’s severance policy with respect to its senior executives and to apply the amended policy to the executive. In the event the Company provides such notice to the executive, agreements expire by their terms at the end of the full-term year that begins on the next July 1st following the date such notice is received by the executive officer.

Per the terms of the agreements, each executive’s employment may be terminated by the Company without a separation payment of any kind in the event of death or a termination for cause as determined by the Board.

In the event of a termination by the Company for disability, the Company is generally required to provide 30 days’ notice, and pay any incentive compensation earned but unpaid as of the date of termination for any fiscal year prior to the year in which such termination occurs.

In the event of termination without cause by the Company or resignation for “good reason” by the executive, as defined in the agreements, the Company will pay a severance payment equal to a specified number of months of the executive’s base salary, prorated cash incentive compensation payments otherwise payable under the executive’s incentive compensation plan for the fiscal year of termination, and continued participation in the Company’s health care plan for a defined period of time. Further, for unvested stock grants, the terms of the grant agreements entitle the recipient

47


COMPENSATION TABLES

to receive a prorated portion of the unvested stock based upon the number of full months of service divided by the total vesting timeframe. When the executive’s resignation is not associated with a change in control, “good reason” is defined as (i) a material reduction in the executive’s total compensation and benefit opportunity (other than a reduction made by the Board, acting in good faith, based upon the performance of the executive, or to align the compensation and benefits of the executive with that of comparable executives, based on market data); or (ii) a substantial adverse alteration in the conditions of the executive’s employment.

In the event of a termination without cause or resignation for “good reason” within one year after the effective date of a change in control, the agreements provide that the Company will pay similar termination payments as in the preceding paragraph but require the executive’s base salary to be paid for a higher number of specified months and a specified payment based on the average incentive compensation earned by the executive for the five fiscal years immediately preceding the termination (except that in Dr. London’s case, he is also entitled to such termination payment if he voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason within one year following a change in control). Further, in the event of a termination without cause or resignation for “good reason” within one year after the effective date of a change of control, the terms of the grant agreements entitle the recipients to receive all of their unvested stock. In the event of a change in control, “good reason” is defined as (i) a substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of the executive’s position or responsibilities from those in effect on the day before the change in control date; or (ii) a change in the geographic location of the executive’s job by more than 50 miles from the place at which such job was based on the day before the change in control date.

The table below delineates the benefits upon separation for each NEO with an agreement in fiscal year 2019 under the scenarios as described above:

The agreements for Dr. London and Mr. Mutryn include partial protection against excise taxes payable under IRC section 280G in the event of termination only after a change in control (a one-time payment of two-thirds of the excise tax to the executive up to a limit of $500,000). Since these agreements were put in place in 2007, the Compensation Committee decided not to include this term in any new agreements, and it is therefore not included in the agreements with other executive officers.

 

The agreements also restrict each executive officer’s rights to compete with the Company or to offer employment to Company employees following termination.

 

Effective July 1, 2019, in connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Mengucci entered into an employment agreement that provides that in the event of a termination (by the Company without cause or by resignation for “good reason”), Mr. Mengucci will receive a severance payment equal to 24 months base salary, continued coverage under the Company’s health care plan for a one-year period, and any bonus amounts due to him that would otherwise be payable under the annual incentive program for the fiscal year of termination. If a termination event occurs within 180 days prior to or one year following a change of control of the Company, Mr. Mengucci will receive a termination payment equal to 24 months base salary, continued participation in the Company’s health care coverage for a one-year period, and two times his average bonus payments for the five fiscal years immediately preceding the termination, and any bonus amounts due to him that would otherwise be payable under the annual incentive program for the fiscal year of termination.

48


COMPENSATION TABLES

In the event of a termination of employment, Ms. Gray will receive severance in accordance with the Company’s policies. For Ms. Gray’s position, this policy provides for six month’s salary upon involuntary separation without cause.

 

Calculations for various termination scenarios are included in the “Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control” section below.

 

Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control

 

The table below reflects the amount of compensation payable to each NEO upon termination of employment under various termination scenarios. The tables show the amount of compensation payable to each NEO upon voluntary termination (other than for “good reason”) or retirement not in connection with a change in control, upon termination by the Company without cause or by the NEO for “good reason” other than in connection with a change in control, and upon termination by the Company without cause or by the NEO for “good reason” (or, in the case of Dr. London, any reason) following a change in control. The amounts shown assume, for illustrative purposes, that such termination was effective as of June 30, 2019, and therefore include amounts earned through such date, and are estimates of the amounts which

would be paid to the NEOs upon termination. The actual amounts to be paid can be determined only at the time of the actual separation from the Company.

(1)

For Messrs. Mengucci and Mutryn and Ms. Gray, this also includes the annual bonus potential for the 2017 and 2018 LTIP, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of those plans. For the Separation Payment following a Change in Control, includes incentive plan amounts earned but not yet paid for fiscal year 2019 for all NEOs.

 

(2)

Assumes that Dr. London is entitled to receive lifetime medical benefits as previously described, and that Messrs. Asbury, Mengucci, and Mutryn are entitled to receive continuation of health benefits following the date of separation for reasons other than voluntary termination or retirement. For Dr. London, the table value therefore represents the present value (using a discount rate of 2.48%) of continued current medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage less the estimated portion of the cost, plus the amount required to cover all estimated applicable local, state and federal income and payroll taxes imposed with respect to such payments over Dr. London’s expected life span (based upon IRS Life Expectancy Tables). For Messrs. Asbury, Mengucci, and Mutryn, the table value represents the total values of continued current medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage over the duration of the coverage period, less the executive’s current portion of the cost, plus the amount required to cover all estimated applicable local, state and federal income and payroll taxes imposed with respect to such payment.

 

(3)

Represents the value of monies deferred into the non-qualified retirement plan during employment, plus investment gains and losses, that would be payable upon termination.

 

(4)

Represents the value of all Company contributions paid into the non-qualified retirement plan on behalf of the executive officer during employment that would be payable upon termination. For Mr. Mengucci, this also includes the present value of benefits accrued through

COMPENSATION TABLES

 

June 30, 2019 under his SERP. In the event of termination for “Good Reason” or without cause within one year after the effective date of a Change in Control, all unvested Company contributions would vest.

 

(5)

Based on the number of RSUs that would vest and the terms of RSU grants as described in the “Severance and Change in Control Benefits” section, multiplied by the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock as of June 30, 2019. For the performance-based grants made in September 2016, September 2017, and October 2018, the maximum number of RSUs for which the measurement periods were not complete would result upon a change in control.

 

(6)

As described above under “Severance Agreements,” two named executive officers have legacy entitlements to partial protection against IRC section 280G excise taxes in the event of termination after a change in control. Specifically, their severance agreements provide for a one-time payment to the executive equal to the lesser of two-thirds of the excise tax to the executive and $500,000. Based on the assumptions used in the preparation of the table, no payments would be due to the executives under this termination scenario.

 

(7)

Assumes that the executive officer resigned for “good reason” or was terminated without cause within one year after a change in control. Dr. London is entitled to this payment if he voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason within one year after a change in control. Ms. Gray would be entitled to the cash severance only upon termination without cause by the Company.

Director Compensation

 

Summary

 

The Compensation Committee evaluates the compensation and form of compensation for non-employee directors annually. As a part of this process, the Compensation Committee reviews general market data for director compensation as well as director compensation data from the Company’s peer group, the same group used for our executive compensation review, including cash compensation, equity compensation and stock ownership requirements. The Compensation Committee also considers input from FW Cook, the third-party compensation consultant retained by the Compensation Committee, regarding market practices for director compensation.  The Compensation Committee intends to set director compensation levels at or near the market median relative to directors at companies of comparable size, industry, and scope of operations in order to ensure directors are paid competitively for their time commitment and responsibilities. As a result, non-employee director compensation generally approximates the market median and is periodically adjusted to maintain alignment with market practices. The Compensation Committee intends to continue to conduct director compensation reviews annually.

 

Each non-employee director is compensated according to the following arrangements for his or her service as a director, including participation in meetings of the full Board and the committee(s) of which he or she is a member:

Equity grants are made in the form of RSUs expressed as a dollar value, in an amount established from time to time by the Compensation Committee. Such RSU awards are made on the date of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders at which time such election occurs, based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on that date. Under the Company’s Director Stock Purchase Plan (DSPP), Directors may also elect to receive RSUs in lieu of up to one hundred percent of their annual cash retainer, with such election to be made prior to the commencement of the effective calendar year. The number of RSUs is based on the fair market value of the stock on the date of issuance.

(2)

Members of the Executive Committee are compensated on a per meeting basis.

(3)

The base number of meetings for the Board and each applicable committee is up to 4 meetings per Fiscal Year.

Mr. Gilmore resigned from the Board of Directors on May 30, 2019.

 

Director Stock Ownership Guidelines

 

The Committee has also adopted stock ownership requirements for non-employee directors to better align their interests with those of shareholders. The requirement is based on five times the value of their base Annual Retainer ($75,000), converted annually on December 1st to a whole number of shares based on the 90-day average price of CACI stock. Until the Director holds the required number of shares, the director is limited with respect to the number of shares the director is allowed to sell, and is only allowed to sell one-half of the shares issued with respect to vested RSUs for the purpose of covering the tax burden caused by the vesting; the other one-half that must be retained is used to determine the interim ownership requirement until the full number of shares is reached, with each successive vesting being added to the prior interim requirement in order to establish the new requirement. Only fully owned shares count in the measurement; unvested restricted stock units do not count, nor do any other unvested and/or unexercised instruments. The penalty for non-compliance is that the Director is required to participate in the DSPP, with 100 percent of the director’s earned Annual Retainer and committee fees being applied to the acquisition of CACI stock, until such time as the director meets the required holding level.

Stockholdings are measured annually as of December 1st to determine compliance with the stock ownership guidelines. For the compliance checkpoint on December 1, 2018, this requirement translated into a requirement to hold 2,788 fully owned shares for all non-employee directors except for Ms. Plunkett who had no holding requirement as of December 1, 2018. The required ownership level will continue to be reviewed annually by the Committee to ensure that it provides enough incentive to properly align the interests of the non-employee directors with those of the Company’s shareholders.

All non-employee directors currently meet their minimum stock ownership requirements.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

 

The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the approval of all audit and non-audit services that are to be performed by the Company’s independent auditors. This policy generally provides that the Company will not engage its independent auditors to render audit or non-audit services unless the service is specifically approved in advance by the Audit Committee or the engagement is entered into pursuant to one of the pre-approval procedures described below. All such audit services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

From time to time, the Audit Committee may pre-approve specified types of services that are expected to be provided to the Company by its independent auditors during the next 12 months. Any such pre-approval is detailed as to the particular services or type of services to be provided and is also generally subject to a maximum dollar amount.

The Audit Committee has also delegated to the chairman of the Audit Committee the authority to approve any audit or non-audit services to be provided to the Company by its independent auditors. Any approval of services by the chairman pursuant to this delegated authority is reported on at the next meeting of the Audit Committee. The Pre-Approval Policy is set forth on the Corporate Governance page of our website at www.caci.com.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019

In accordance with the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee of the Board assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices of the Company. The Audit Committee Charter was first adopted by the Board in June 1994 and has been reviewed annually and amended as necessary since that date. Each member of the Audit Committee qualifies as “independent” in accordance with Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the requirements of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, Sections 303A.01, 303A.02, 303A.06, and 303A.07. In fulfilling its responsibilities as set forth in the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee has accomplished the following:

1.

It has reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited financial statements with management, including discussions regarding critical accounting policies, financial accounting and reporting principles and practices, the quality of such principles and practices, the reasonableness of significant judgments and estimates, and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting;

2.

It has discussed with the independent auditors the quality of the financial statements, the clarity of the related disclosures, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and other items required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC;

3.

It has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the auditors’ communications with the Audit Committee regarding independence, and has discussed with the independent auditors any matters affecting their independence; and

4.

Based on the review and discussions described in subparagraphs (1) through (3) above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 for filing with the SEC.

MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS

 

Proposal 1

Election of Directors

 

In accordance with the Company’s By-laws and Guidelines, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, has nominated the following ten persons for reelection to serve as members of the Board until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until a successor has been elected and qualified, or until the director’s earlier death, resignation or removal:

Nominees

 

Michael A. Daniels

James L. Pavitt

William L. Jews

Warren R. Phillips

Gregory G. Johnson

Debora A. Plunkett

J.P. London

Charles P. Revoile

John S. Mengucci(1)

William Scott Wallace

(1)

Under his employment agreement, if Mr. Mengucci no longer serves as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, terminates his employment for any reason or provides notice to the Company regarding such a termination, he shall resign from the Board.

 

Unless instructed otherwise, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote the shares of common stock represented by the proxy FOR the election of the ten nominees listed above. In the event that any nominee becomes unavailable or unwilling to serve as a member of our Board, the proxy holders will vote in their discretion for a substitute nominee.

 

You can find more information about the leadership skills and other experiences that caused the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board to determine that these nominees should serve as directors under “Board of Directors” on page 5 of this proxy statement.  Information about our nominating procedures and other corporate governance matters can be found under “Corporate Governance” on page 12 of this proxy statement.

 

Required Vote

 

A majority of the votes properly cast for a director nominee is sufficient to elect such director (meaning the number of shares voted “for” a director nominee must exceed the number of shares voted “against” such director nominee). Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose and will have no effect on the election of nominees.

 

The election of directors is deemed a non-routine matter under NYSE rules and a beneficial owner’s nominee will not be able to vote on the election of directors without instructions. We encourage all beneficial owners to provide voting instructions to such parties to ensure that their shares are voted at the Annual Meeting.

 

CACI Recommendation

 

Our Board recommends a vote “FOR” the election to the Board of each of the above mentioned nominees.

56


MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS

Proposal 2

Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

 

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we provide our shareholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on a nonbinding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in this proxy statement. While this vote is advisory, it will provide information to our Compensation Committee regarding investor sentiment about our compensation principles and objectives. We urge you to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 22, compensation tables and related narratives appearing in this proxy statement for more information regarding the compensation of our named executive officers.

 

The vote on this resolution is not intended to address any specific element of compensation; rather, the vote relates to the philosophy and structure of our compensation program for our named executive officers as well as the overall compensation of those officers, as described in this proxy statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The vote is advisory, which means that the vote is not binding on the Company, our Board or the Compensation Committee. To the extent there is any significant vote against our named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address the concerns of shareholders.

 

Our Board and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders. At the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders approved our fiscal year 2018 named executive officers’ compensation, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and compensation tables, as well as the other narrative executive compensation disclosures contained in the definitive proxy statement for our 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Our shareholders approved the resolution on executive compensation with over 96% of the votes cast being cast in favor of our executive compensation.  Accordingly, we ask our shareholders to vote on the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

 

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion.”

 

Required Vote

 

On this non-binding matter, a majority of the votes properly cast on this matter (meaning the number of shares voted “for” this matter must exceed the number of shares voted “against” this matter) is necessary for the matter to be approved. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

 

A shareholder’s advisory vote on executive compensation is deemed a non-routine matter under NYSE rules and a beneficial owner’s nominee will not be able to vote on executive compensation without instructions. We encourage all beneficial owners to provide voting instructions to such parties to ensure that their shares are voted at the Annual Meeting.

 

CACI Recommendation

 

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement.


57


MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS

Proposal 3Approval of Amendment of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

On August 7, 2019, the Compensation Committee and the Board approved an amendment of the CACI International Inc 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting. The ESPP was originally approved by shareholders on November 21, 2002 and was subsequently amended and restated with approval of the shareholders on November 14, 2013.

 

As of September 18, 2019, 58,233 shares of our common stock were still available for additional purchases under the ESPP. If the shareholders approve the proposed amendment to the ESPP, the total number of shares authorized for purchase under the ESPP (including shares that have already been purchased under the plan) will increase from 1,250,000 shares to 1,500,000 shares. As of September 30, 2019, the closing price of our common stock was $231.26 per share.

 

The principal terms of the ESPP are summarized below. The following summary of the ESPP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the ESPP, as amended by the Board on August 7, 2019, which is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A and incorporated herein by reference. Terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the ESPP.

 

Summary Description of the ESPP

 

The purpose of the ESPP is to provide eligible employees of the Company an opportunity to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. As of September 18, 2019, the Company had approximate 22,100 employees. The ESPP is intended to provide additional incentives to eligible employees to make a long-term investment in the Company by providing a discount on their purchase of the Company’s common stock and by affording eligible employees the opportunity to purchase the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions. Eligible employees may purchase the Company’s common stock, on a quarterly basis, through accumulated payroll deductions not exceeding, in any calendar year, the lesser of: (i) twenty percent of eligible cash compensation and (ii) $25,000 of fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option to purchase the Company’s common stock was granted (i.e., date of grant). Eligible cash compensation includes the employee’s base pay as of the date of grant. The ESPP is intended to qualify under IRC section 423 with respect to employee stock purchase plans. Giving effect to the proposed amendment to the ESPP, the maximum number of shares authorized for purchase under the ESPP would be an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of stock.

 

To be eligible to participate in the ESPP, an employee must, among other things, be employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries for a minimum of two months of continuous service, while customarily working twenty or more hours each week and more than five months in a calendar year. Excluded from participating are owners of five percent or more of the Company’s common stock and highly compensated employees as defined in the ESPP (see Appendix A to this Proxy Statement). At the commencement of each three-month offering period as defined in the ESPP, and subject to ESPP purchase limits, each participant has the option to acquire a number of shares based on the amount of his or her payroll deductions at a share price equal to ninety-five percent of the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the last day of such offering period.

 

The ESPP is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the Committee), at the expense of the Company. The Committee consists of not less than three members of the Board of Directors who are not officers of the Company or in the employ of the Company. The Committee is also responsible for questions involving the administration and interpretation of the ESPP. The ESPP may be amended or terminated by the Board at any time, subject to certain restrictions. An increase in the number of shares of common stock issuable under the ESPP requires stockholder approval.

 

The Board believes that the ESPP provides the following benefits to the Company and its stockholders: by facilitating increases in employee stock ownership, it increases the stake that employees have in the Company and aligns the interests of a greater number of employees with the interests of the stockholders. In addition, the availability of the ESPP is likely to aid the Company in its efforts to recruit and retain employees.

 

58


MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS

New Plan Benefits

 

As benefits under the ESPP depend upon eligible employees’ elections to participate in the plan and the fair market value of the shares of the Company’s common stock at various future dates, it is not possible to determine future benefits that will be received by eligible employees under the plan.

 

Historical Plan Purchases

 

Historically, purchases of shares of our common stock under the ESPP have been made primarily by our employees who are not executive officers. Since the inception of the plan, employees who are not executive officers have purchased an aggregate of 1,191,767 shares under the plan, whereas our current executive officers, as a group, have not purchased shares under the plan. Our non-employee directors are not eligible to participate in the plan.

 

No person has purchased or is currently expected to purchase five percent (5%) or more of the total number of shares available for grant under the ESPP, and we are not aware that any associate of any executive officer or director has purchased shares under the ESPP. Because participation in the plan is voluntary, the persons and groups listed above may purchase additional shares under the ESPP.

 

 

Federal Income Tax Information with Respect To the ESPP

 

The following is a brief summary of the principal federal income tax consequences under current federal income tax laws relating to the purchase of stock under the ESPP. This summary is not intended to constitute tax advice. It is also not intended to be exhaustive and, among other things, does not describe state, local or foreign income tax consequences.

 

Options to purchase the Company’s common stock granted pursuant to the ESPP are intended to qualify as options issued under an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of IRC section 423. Under IRC section 423, employees will not realize taxable income upon the grant of such purchase right under the ESPP or when they complete their purchase for cash and receive delivery of the Company’s common stock, provided that the employee is an employee of the Company on the date of grant and such purchase occurs while the employee is employed or within three months after termination of employment.

 

If an employee sells the Company’s common stock acquired through the ESPP after two years from the date of its grant and after one year from the date of its acquisition, such employee may recognize ordinary income on the lesser of: (i) the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant over the purchase price and (ii) the actual gain on the stock’s sale. There is no corresponding deduction for the Company. Any additional gain or loss that may be realized on the ultimate sale will be treated as long term capital gain or loss.

 

If, prior to the expiration of the two-year and one-year periods referred to above, an employee sells the Company’s common stock acquired through the ESPP or dies while holding such common stock, then the employee will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of purchase over the amount paid upon purchase of the Company’s common stock, and the Company will have a corresponding deduction with respect to such income. The amount of ordinary income recognized by the employee will decrease the capital gain or increase the capital loss recognized by the employee on the sale of the Company’s common stock. At sale, the difference between the sale price and the fair market value of the stock at purchase will be considered capital gain or loss, which will be long-term if the stock has been held for more than one year.

 

Required Vote

 

A majority of the votes properly cast on this matter (meaning the number of shares voted “for” this matter must exceed the number of shares voted “against” this matter) is necessary for the matter to be approved. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS

 

A vote to amend the ESPP is deemed a non-routine matter under NYSE rules and a beneficial owner’s nominee will not be able to vote on this matter without instructions. We encourage all beneficial owners to provide voting instructions to such parties to ensure that their shares are voted at the Annual Meeting.

 

CACI Recommendation

 

The Board recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the amendment of the ESPP authorizing an additional 250,000 shares for purchase.

MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS

Proposal 4

Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

Ernst & Young LLP currently serves as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and that firm conducted the audit of the Company’s accounts for fiscal year 2019. The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to conduct an audit of the Company’s accounts for fiscal year 2020.

 

Selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required to be submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Company for ratification. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires the Audit Committee to be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the audit work of the independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Board of Directors is submitting this matter to the shareholders as a matter of good corporate practice.

 

Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

 

Required Vote

 

A majority of the votes properly cast on this matter (meaning the number of shares voted “for” this matter must exceed the number of shares voted “against” this matter) is necessary for the matter to be approved.  Because this is a “routine matter” under NYSE rules, a beneficial owner’s nominee, such as a broker, may vote on the ratification of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm without instruction from their beneficial owners. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose and will have no effect on the vote for this proposal.  If the shareholders fail to vote in favor of the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain Ernst & Young LLP and may retain that firm or another without re-submitting the matter to the Company’s shareholders. Even if shareholders vote in favor of the appointment, on an advisory basis, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and the shareholders.

 

CACI Recommendation

 

The Board recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2020.

The Notice was first mailed to our shareholders (other than those who previously requested electronic delivery) on October 3, 2019.

62

 


ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION

Employee Stock Purchase Plan; and “FOR” the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2020.

 

 

Shareholders Entitled to Vote

 

All shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 18, 2019 may vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting.

 

As of the Record Date, there were 24,886,299 shares of common stock outstanding. A complete list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available at the Company’s headquarters for examination from October 30, 2019 through November 14, 2019 for any purpose related to the Annual Meeting.

 

 

Shareholder of Record or Beneficial Owner

 

If your shares are registered directly with Computershare, N.A., our transfer agent, then you are the “shareholder of record” of the shares. If your shares are held in an account at a broker, bank, trust or other similar organization, then you are a “beneficial owner” of the shares. Most of our shareholders are beneficial owners of their shares.

 

There are several distinctions in how shareholders receive information and vote their shares that you should be aware of and we have described such differences in the proxy materials.

 

 

Voting at the Annual Meeting 

 

Shareholders of record can receive a ballot and vote when they arrive at the Annual Meeting. Beneficial owners must obtain a legal proxy from the organization that holds their shares prior to voting at the Annual Meeting.

 

Via the Internet. You may submit a proxy or voting instructions over the Internet by going to www.proxyvote.com.

 

By Telephone. You may submit a proxy or voting instructions by telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903 and following the instructions.

 

By Mail. If you received your proxy materials by mail, you may vote by proxy by filling out the proxy card or voting instruction form and sending it back in the envelope provided.

 

Note that shares represented by properly signed and returned proxies will be voted in accordance with their instructions. In the absence of any instructions, properly signed and returned proxies will be voted in accordance with management’s recommendations.

 

 

Changing your Vote

 

You may change your vote at any time prior to the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting by:

 

submitting a new proxy or voting instructions with a later date;

 

providing a written notice of revocation to the Company’s Secretary, if you are a registered shareholder; or

 

attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person in accordance with the voting procedures outlined above.

63

 


ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION

 

Note that beneficial owners must follow their nominee’s instructions to revoke their proxies or vote at the Annual Meeting and, for both shareholders of record and beneficial owners, attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request or vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

 

Vote Standard

 

In order to pass, each proposal must receive a majority of votes properly cast on that proposal. Under current NYSE interpretations, abstentions and broker non-votes will not count as votes cast or as expressing any preference. Brokers and other nominees are permitted under NYSE rules to vote on Proposal 4 without obtaining instructions from their beneficial owners.  However, they are not permitted to vote without instruction regarding the election of directors or Proposals 2 and 3.

 

 

Quorum

 

The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Both abstentions and broker non-votes (described below) are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

 

 

Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions

 

Broker non-votes occur when a broker is not permitted to vote on a matter because a beneficial owner has not provided instructions. These matters are referred to as “non-routine” matters. All of the matters scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting are “non-routine,” except for the proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year 2020. In tabulating the voting result for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered voting power present or votes cast with respect to that proposal. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any matter being voted on at the Annual Meeting.

 

Abstentions are considered voting power present at the Annual Meeting but are not considered votes cast and thus will not affect the outcome of any matter being voted on at the Annual Meeting.

 

 

Additional Matters

 

We are not aware of any other business to be presented at the Annual Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting. If, for any reason, any of the nominees is not available as a candidate for director, the persons named as proxy holders will vote your proxy for such other candidate or candidates as may be nominated by the Board.

 

 

Attending the Annual Meeting

 

Attendance at the Annual Meeting is limited to shareholders as of the close of business on September 18, 2019, whether shares are held in “street name” or are “beneficially owned.” In order to be admitted to the Annual Meeting, you must present:

 

 

1.

a valid photo identification or other satisfactory proof of identification; and

64

 


ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION

 

 

2.

sufficient proof of ownership or authorization, which may take the form of the proxy card for shareholders of record, a recent brokerage statement or letter from a bank or broker for beneficial owners or a letter from a shareholder of record certifying your status as an authorized representative.

 

Cameras, including cell phones or other devices with photographic capabilities, and any other video or audio recording devices, are not permitted to be used at the Annual Meeting. Please refrain from use of cell phones at the Annual Meeting as well.

 

 

Voting Results

 

We expect to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and publish final voting results on the Investor Relations section of our website at www.caci.com. We also expect to disclose the final voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days of the Annual Meeting.

 

 

Householding

 

We have adopted a procedure, approved by the SEC, called “householding.” Under this procedure, we deliver a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials to multiple shareholders at the same address, unless we have previously received contrary instructions from one or more shareholders. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of any of these materials to a shareholder upon written or oral request to: CACI International Inc, 1100 North Glebe Road, Arlington, Virginia 22201, Attn: J. William Koegel, Jr., Corporate Secretary, telephone 703-841-7800. Shareholders can request separate delivery for future meetings in the same manner. Shareholders at the same address who are receiving multiple copies of our proxy materials may contact us using either of these methods to request delivery of a single copy.

 

Shareholders who hold shares in street name (as described above) may contact their bank, broker or other nominee record holder to request information about householding.

 

 

Solicitation

 

We will bear the costs of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting and have retained Morrow Sodali, LLC to assist in soliciting proxies at a fee not to exceed $8,500, plus expenses. We may also reimburse banks, brokers, nominees, and other fiduciaries for postage and reasonable clerical expenses incurred by them in forwarding the proxy materials to beneficial holders. Proxies may also be solicited without extra compensation by certain officers, directors and other employees of the Company, by telephone, e-mail, facsimile, personal contact, or by other means.

 

 

Shareholder Proposals for the 2020 Annual Meeting

 

Proposals for the 2020 Proxy Statement: Shareholders may present proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at the 2020 Annual Meeting by submitting their proposals in writing to the Company’s Secretary in a timely manner. For a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for the 2020 Annual Meeting, the Company’s Secretary must receive the written proposal no later than June 5, 2020. If we hold the 2020 Annual Meeting more than 30 days before or after November 14, 2020, we will disclose the new deadline by which shareholder proposals must be received. In addition, shareholder proposals must also comply with all requirements and regulations of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

Nominations of Director Candidates: Shareholders may propose Board nominees for consideration by our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Any such recommendations should include the nominee’s name and qualifications for membership on our Board and should be directed to the Company’s Secretary.

(b)

Fractional shares will not be issued under the Plan and any accumulated payroll deductions which would have been used to purchase fractional shares shall be automatically carried forward to the next Offering unless the participant elects, by written notice to the Plan Administrator, to have the excess cash returned to him.

to withdraw all of the payroll deductions credited to the participant’s account under the Plan; or

 

 

(ii)

to exercise the participant’s option for the purchase of stock on the Offering Termination Date next following the date of the participant’s death for the purchase of the number of full shares which the accumulated payroll deductions in the participant’s account at the date of the participant’s death will purchase at the applicable option price (subject to the limitation contained in Paragraph 7(a)), and any excess in such account will be returned to said beneficiary.  In the event that no such written notice of election shall be duly received by the office of the Plan Administrator, the beneficiary shall automatically be deemed to have elected to withdraw the payroll deductions credited to the participant’s account at the date of the participant’s death and the same will be paid promptly to said beneficiary.

(b)

The participant will have no interest in stock covered by his option until such option has been exercised.

 

13.

ADMINISTRATION.

 

The Committee shall administer the Plan.  The interpretation and construction of any provision of the Plan and adoption of rules and regulations for administering the Plan shall be made by the Committee.  Determinations made by the Committee with respect to any matter or provision contained in the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Company and upon all participants, their heirs or legal representatives.  Any rule or regulation adopted by the Committee shall remain in full force and effect unless and until altered, amended, or repealed by the Committee.

 

A-5

 


APPENDIX A

14.

DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.

 

A participant shall file with the Plan Administrator a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any Common Stock and/or cash under the Plan.  The participant may change such designation of beneficiary at any time by written notice.  Upon the death of a participant and upon receipt by the Company of proof of the identity and existence at the participant’s death of a beneficiary validly designated by him under the Plan, the Company shall deliver such Common Stock and/or cash to such beneficiary.  In the event of the death of a participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such participant’s death, the Company shall deliver such Common Stock and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant.  No beneficiary shall prior to the death of the participant by whom he has been designated, acquire any interest in the Common Stock and/or cash credited to the participant under the Plan.

 

15.

TRANSFERABILITY.

 

Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive Common Stock under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of in any way by the participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any such attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds in accordance with Paragraph 10.

 

16.

USE OF FUNDS.

 

The Company may use all payroll deductions received or held by the Company under this Plan for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.
