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 57.

 

 

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. On August 4, 2022, the Board approved a new committee structure comprised of (1) three standing committees: Audit and Risk; Human Resources and Compensation and Corporate Governance and Nominating and (2) two ad hoc committees: Executive and Special Programs. 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 at investor.caci.com or are available upon written request to CACI International Inc, 12021 Sunset Hills Road, Reston, Virginia 20190, Attention: Investor Relations:

The Board reevaluates our policies and practices on an ongoing basis and all of our directors, executive officers and other employees are required to review their applicable code of conduct and certify compliance annually to ensure high standards of business conduct that facilitate the Board’s execution of its responsibilities. 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 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. From time to time, the Board may also appoint a Vice Chairman in order to have a director empowered to act with the authority of the Chairman in the event the Chairman is unavailable. The chart below summarizes the roles and responsibilities of the Chairman:

Board and Committee Independence

 

In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, a majority of our Board must be independent as defined by the NYSE listing rules and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). On August 4, 2022, the Board affirmatively determined that 10 of its 11 director nominees (90.9%) are independent.  In making the determination, the Board considered the relationships described below in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.” The Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are comprised entirely of independent directors.

The Board and each of its committees perform annual evaluations of their performance. The evaluation process is managed by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and specifically focuses on areas for improvement.

Risk Oversight

 

Our Board has an active role, as a whole and at the committee level, in overseeing the management of our risks. The Board regularly reviews information regarding the results of operations and any related trends and other factors contributing to or affecting our results, long-term strategy, financial reporting systems and processes, as well as the risks associated with these aspects of the Company’s business. The Board has also approved Standards of Ethics and Business Conduct that establish standards of conduct for employees that are designed to mitigate risks associated with compliance, foster ethical conduct by our employees and protect company assets. We require all employees to receive annual training related to our Standards of Ethics and Business Conduct and related policies in order to ensure that employees are familiar with those standards of conduct and to mitigate the risks associated with employees’ failure to meet those standards.

Transactions that are determined to be material to the Company or a related person are disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement. In addition, the Audit Committee is charged with reviewing and approving or ratifying any related party transaction.

Financial Performance Summary

 

Fiscal Year 2022 Performance

 

Below are charts outlining our performance over the relevant periods for the performance metrics used by the Compensation Committee in determining our NEOs’ compensation. The performance depicted in the charts had a substantial impact on our NEOs’ earned compensation over the course of this period. For fiscal year 2022, this resulted in an average achievement of 86.7% of the targeted annual incentive plan value, and the three-year growth of the Company’s stock price through August 15, 2022 resulted in achievement of 116% of the performance-based equity awards granted to the NEOs in fiscal year 2020. For fiscal year 2022, Adjusted EBITDA represents GAAP net income plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense (including depreciation within direct costs).

2021 Say on Pay Vote

 

 

DECISION SUPPORT

 

As the Compensation Committee made its fiscal year 2022 compensation decisions, it considered that 97% of the votes cast on the Company’s fiscal year 2021 executive compensation program (the “Say on Pay” proposal) were voted in favor of the “Say on Pay” proposal at the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting. This continued the strong support as shown in 2020’s and 2019’s 97% and 97% approval rates, respectively. 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.

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 77% of our NEOs’ target total direct compensation (“TDC”). The following is a list of the principal components of our executive compensation program in fiscal year 2022:

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 and Process

 

Compensation Governance

 

The Compensation Committee, composed solely of independent directors, is responsible for our executive officer compensation decisions. The Compensation Committee works very closely with Mercer, as its independent compensation consultant, and management to examine pay and performance matters during the year. The Compensation Committee has both a strategic and administrative role in managing the compensation structure of the Company, with an emphasis on

26

 


ExeCutive Compensation

 

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.

 

Compensation Process

 

The Compensation Committee acted in accordance with the following process in determining our NEOs compensation for fiscal year 2022.

 

Fourth Quarter FY2021

 

Developed the design of the fiscal year 2022 compensation program.

Approved the performance metrics and goals for the fiscal year 2022 cash incentive plan.

Set target total direct compensation for the NEOs for fiscal year 2022.

 

First Quarter FY2022

Reviewed and approved the metrics and goals for the PRSUs.

Compensation Factors

 

The Compensation Committee determined fiscal year 2022 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 used a performance assessment framework to make CEO compensation decisions. For the other NEOs, the Compensation Committee, with input from the CEO, reviewed (1) performance against the objectives set in fiscal year 2021, 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 sought 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 evaluated each NEO’s relative compensation and changes in responsibilities and considered current pay practices for comparable positions at peer companies.

 

 

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

 

 

Other Factors: For the NEOs other than the CEO, the Compensation Committee also considered the CEO’s recommendations, succession planning and retention. Finally, before making pay decisions, the

27

 


ExeCutive Compensation

 

 

Compensation Committee reviewed the pay mix to ensure that it was competitively positioned and performance-based.

 

During the course of the fiscal year, the Compensation Committee reviews corporate performance each quarter and assesses progress for each goal in the cash 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.

 

Independent Compensation Consultant

 

With respect to fiscal year 2022, Mercer 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. The compensation consultant 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 Mercer pursuant to SEC rules and concluded that their work for the Compensation Committee did not raise any conflicts of interest.

 

Assessing Competitive Practice

 

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

 

During fiscal year 2022, Mercer 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.

 

For fiscal year 2022, peer comparisons were performed against 14 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:

 

Alliance Data Systems Corporation

Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.

Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation

Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.

Fiserv, Inc.

L3Harris Corporation

Leidos Holdings, Inc.

LiveRamp Holdings, Inc.

ManTech International Corporation

MAXIMUS, Inc.

Science Applications International Corporation

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.

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.  The Committee evaluates TDC for each Executive Officer relative to the median of the Company’s peer group.

 

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 2022 Executive Compensation Strategy

 

In fiscal year 2021, the Compensation Committee conducted a thorough review of the Company’s executive compensation philosophy and strategy and made several significant changes to executive officer compensation programs for fiscal year 2022.  The key objectives of the Compensation Committee’s review were to:

 

 

Drive attraction and retention of top talent in a more intense competitive landscape in our industry, particularly as we emerge from a global pandemic;

 

 

Increase focus on our growth and position in the technology sector with an expectation of margin expansion;

 

 

Respond to shareholder feedback regarding the structure of our long-term incentive program;

 

 

Forge a stronger linkage between executive pay programs and our long-term strategic objectives; and

 

 

Align management on a consistent market competitive framework for executive compensation.

 

Fiscal Year 2022 Annual Bonus Program

 

For fiscal year 2022, the Compensation Committee determined that all cash incentives for executives will be based on annual performance, establishing performance targets and payout ranges for each metric based on the current business environment, review of the competitive market, historical performance against targets and the Company’s desire for growth.

 

The Compensation Committee also determined that total bonus payouts for cash incentives will be subject to an upward or downward discretionary adjustment by the Compensation Committee based on its evaluation of each executive’s attainment of financial and non-financial performance objectives.  All cash incentives for executive officers will be capped at 250% of their target cash incentive.

 

Fiscal Year 2022 Long-Term Incentives

 

The Committee granted fiscal year 2022 long-term incentive awards to executive officers in October 2021.  To better align executive incentives with long-term shareholder value creation, and to better align executive rewards with the Company’s strategic growth objectives, the Committee made several changes to its approach for granting executive long-term incentives.  The Committee granted two types of long-term incentives to executive officers in fiscal year 2022:

 

 

Restricted Stock Units which reinforce attraction, retention and long-term shareholder value creation

 

 

Performance Restricted Stock Units which reinforce attraction, retention, long-term shareholder value creation and specifically focus on achieving strategic objectives.  The vesting of the Performance Restricted Stock Units is based on the degree of attainment of three-year earnings growth objectives.

Fiscal Year 2022 Base Salaries

 

In late fiscal year 2021, the Compensation Committee reviewed and approved our NEOs’ base salaries for fiscal year 2022, taking into consideration the median of base salaries for comparable executives among our peer group, individual performance in fiscal year 2021 and the Company’s overall annual fiscal year 2022 merit increase guidance applicable to all employees. The adjustments approved by the Compensation Committee became effective on August 1, 2021 for all NEOs.

Fiscal Year 2022 Annual Incentives

 

Target Annual Incentives

 

Our cash incentive program is designed to motivate our executive officers to achieve pre-established annual performance objectives. In establishing target cash incentives for fiscal year 2022, the Compensation Committee reviewed our NEOs’ target total cash compensation, relative to the median of 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 2022 NEO target cash incentive levels that were approved by the Compensation Committee in late fiscal year 2021:

The target cash incentive for Mr. Mengucci was not changed by the Compensation Committee in fiscal year 2022. Adjustments for other NEOs reflected the Compensation Committee’s strategy to provide competitive increases of cash incentives consistent with overall movement of executive cash incentives in our peer group, and to more closely align target incentive levels within the company.

ExeCutive Compensation

 

 

Design

 

The fiscal year 2022 cash incentive plan was based on full year performance for the Named Executive Officers. At the beginning of fiscal year 2022, the Compensation Committee established the performance metrics applicable to the annual cash incentive program. The performance metrics were selected to incent the Company’s growth and support the interests of the Company’s shareholders and were applied to each executive based on their responsibilities:

 

Performance Metric

Purpose

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

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

CACI Revenue

Measure of the Company’s growth which requires the maintenance and 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.

 

In addition, the Compensation Committee approved metrics for the Company’s business sectors, which were applicable to Ms. Gray and Mr. Probert, among others:

 

Performance Metric

Purpose

 

Sector Gross Profit (GP)

 

Primary indicator of the performance of the sector and is used as the primary incentive metric to ensure our sector executives’ focus on overall profitability.  

Sector Revenue

Primary measure of the sector’s growth, which requires the maintenance and expansion of current business and the capture of new business.

 

The following is a summary of the performance metrics applicable to each NEO for the annual and quarterly components of the annual incentive program.

After determining the appropriate performance metrics and weights applicable to the cash incentive program, the Compensation Committee established the target performance levels for the Company performance metric at the beginning of the fiscal year. The performance targets for each metric were established based on the current business environment, review of the competitive market, historical performance against targets and the Company’s desire for growth. The President and Chief Executive Officer was responsible for establishing performance metrics for non-Executive Officers which flow from the Company metrics established by the Committee.

 

Once performance targets were established for each Company performance metric, the Compensation Committee determined appropriate lower, or “Cut,” threshold levels for each metric and upper, or “Stretch,” threshold levels. For performance below Cut levels, no bonus was awarded. For performance between Cut and Target levels, and between Target and Stretch levels, bonus payouts were prorated on a straight-line basis. No additional incentives are awarded for performance above Stretch levels.  Total payment for the cash incentive program is capped at 250% of the target payout for each NEO.

32

 


ExeCutive Compensation

 

 

The ranges between Cut, Target and Stretch thresholds were based upon multiple factors assessed by the Compensation Committee, including historical ranges and historical performance against Cut, Target and Stretch thresholds. For fiscal year 2022, the Committee set the Cut thresholds at 80% of Target and Stretch thresholds at 125% of Target.

 

In addition, the Committee established an Individual Modifier, where bonus can be adjusted up or down 25% based on assessment of financial and/or non-financial performance (e.g., ESG, strategic milestones, employee engagement, or other factors which aren’t immediately reflected in financial results).

All NEOs received their fiscal year 2022 target equity value 50% in the form of RSUs and 50% in the form of PRSUs.  The RSUs vest ratably over three years. The PRSUs vest at the end of three years based on the attainment of a three-year target cumulative EBITDA growth objective. No shares will vest for performance below the threshold performance level (80% of the three-year target cumulative EBITDA). For performance between Cut and Target levels, and between Target and Stretch levels (125% of the three-year target cumulative EBITDA), the number of shares which shall vest will be prorated on a straight-line basis up to 200% of the target PRSUs.

 

Special Awards

 

On November 11, 2021, Mr. Probert received a one-time special grant of RSUs with grant date value of approximately $2,000,000. Mr. Probert’s RSUs will vest in full on November 11, 2024.

 

On April 26, 2022, Ms. Gray and Mr. Koegel received one-time special grants of RSUs with a grant date value of approximately $3,000,000 and $300,000, respectively. Ms. Gray’s RSUs will vest in full on April 26, 2026 and Mr. Koegel’s RSUs will vest in equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

 

 

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. 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. 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.

 

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.

ExeCutive Compensation

 

 

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 Messrs. Mengucci, Mutryn, and Koegel; Ms. Gray and Mr. Probert fell under the Company’s general policy for executives during fiscal year 2022, 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, severance benefits in the agreements 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.

 

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.

 

For equity awards granted prior to fiscal year 2022, executives who retire at age 62 or older vest in a prorated portion of the grants based upon their number of months of service after the grant date divided by the full vesting timeframe; the numbers of shares received are still subject to the results of the performance conditions.  For equity awards granted in fiscal year 2022, executives who retire no earlier than one year after the grant date, on or after the date on which they have attained age 55 or older, and the sum of their age and consecutive years of service with the Company totals 65 or more, shall continue to vest as if they had remained actively employed.

 

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

 

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 2022.

 

The Company entered into a supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) with Mr. Mengucci that provides certain benefits to offset the forfeiture of potential benefits from his 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 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 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 2022, 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, 2022 provided in the table below. The Compensation Committee believes these salary multiples are robust and above comparable peer levels.

ExeCutive Compensation

 

 

 

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 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 were in compliance with their respective stock ownership requirements as of July 1, 2022.

 

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 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.

ExeCutive Compensation

 

 

Risk Assessment

 

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

 

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 cash incentive plans 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;

 

 

the balance of total compensation is more heavily weighted to long-term incentives, and increasing margins and 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, 2022. 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, 2022 be included in the Company’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(1)

Amounts reported in the Salary column represent base salary earned in fiscal years 2022, 2021, or 2020.

(2)

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 15 of the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 11, 2022. The grant date fair value of performance-based awards in fiscal years 2021 and 2020 was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation method. The PRSUs granted are based on the following performance conditions: (a) fiscal year 2020 grants are based on the Company’s performance during the year ended June 30, 2020 and the Company’s stock price for the 90-day period ended October 1, 2020, 2021 and 2022 as compared to the stock price for the 90-day period ended October 1, 2019. As of the end of fiscal year 2022 the cash value of the resulting award was 116% of the target award; if we achieve maximum performance conditions for this grant (100% increase in average stock price at grant), then the cash value of the resulting award would be 225% of the amounts shown in the table; (b) fiscal year 2021 grants are based on the Company’s performance during the year ended June 30, 2021 and the Company’s stock price for the 90-day period ended October 1, 2021, 2022 and 2023 as compared to the stock price for the 90-day period ended October 1, 2020. As of the end of fiscal year 2022, the cash value of the resulting award would be 126% of the target award; if we achieve maximum performance conditions for this grant (100% increase in average stock price at grant), then the cash value of the resulting awards would be 258% of the amounts shown in the table; (c) half of the fiscal year 2022 grants are PRSUs based on the Company’s earnings performance during the three-year period ended June 30, 2024, if we achieve maximum performance conditions for this grant, then two times the number of PRSUs granted will vest.

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 2022 (Mr. Mengucci) to the annual total compensation of our median employee was computed to be 74 to 1 for fiscal year 2022, based on the methodology described below.

As of June 30, 2022, our total active employee population consisted of approximately 22,000 individuals, including our CEO. We compared the annual salary of all active employees, with the exception of Mr. Mengucci, as reflected in our human resources systems of record; as part of this process we annualized compensation for any employees who were employed for less than the full fiscal year, but we did not annualize the compensation for employees in temporary or seasonal positions. This measure was consistently applied to all individuals in the measured employee population and yielded our “approximate median employee.”

For the approximate median employee, we then calculated their annual total compensation for fiscal year 2022 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 approximate median employee of $112,310.

The annual total compensation of Mr. Mengucci, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table above, was $8,363,317. The ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Mengucci to the compensation for the approximate median employee was then computed, yielding the final result of 74 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 calculated 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.

COMPENSATION TABLES

Severance Agreements

Messrs. Mengucci, Mutryn, and Koegel have severance agreements with terms of one year 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 them. In the event the Company provides such notice to them, 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, 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 made prior to fiscal year 2022, the terms of the grant agreements entitle the recipient 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.  For unvested stock grants made in fiscal year 2022, the terms of the grant agreements entitle the recipient to receive continued vesting of the unvested stock upon termination without cause no earlier than one year following the grant date, subject to the executive’s continued compliance with noncompetition and nonsolicitation covenants.

 

In the event of a termination without cause or resignation for “good reason” within one year of 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. Further, the terms of the grant agreements entitle the recipient to receive 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 more than 50 miles from the place at which such job was based on the day before the change in control date.

COMPENSATION TABLES

 

 

The agreement for Mr. Mutryn includes 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 this agreement was 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.

 

In the event of a termination of employment, Ms. Gray and Mr. Probert will receive severance in accordance with the Company’s policies, which provides for six months’ 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” following a change in control. The amounts shown assume, for illustrative purposes, that such termination was effective as of June 30, 2022, 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.

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.

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. 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)

Represents the present value of benefits accrued by Mr. Mengucci through June 30, 2022 under his SERP. The accrued benefit would be paid over his expected remaining lifespan.

(6)

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, 2022. For the performance-based grants made in October 2019, October 2020 and October 2021 the maximum number of RSUs for which the measurement periods were not complete would result upon a change in control.

(7)

As described above under “Severance Agreements,” Mr. Mutryn has a legacy entitlement to partial protection against IRC section 280G excise taxes in the event of termination after a change in control. Specifically, his severance agreement provides for a one-time payment to him 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 Mr. Mutryn under this termination scenario.

(8)

For Messrs. Mengucci, Mutryn, and Koegel, assumes that the executive officer resigned for “good reason” or was terminated without cause within one year after a change in control. Ms. Gray and Mr. Probert 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 its 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 was compensated according to the following arrangements for his or her service as a director during fiscal year 2022, 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

47

 


DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

 

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)

In addition to the annual retainer received as a member of the Board, the Chairman of the Board receives an additional retainer of $200,000 which is paid half in cash and half in stock. The amount listed reflects the total equity retainer for the Chairman of the Board.

 

(3)

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

 

(4)

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

The Compensation Committee approved an annual retainer of $200,000 for Mr. Daniels commensurate upon his appointment as Chairman of the Board on January 20, 2021. The annual retainer for the Chairman of the Board is paid on a quarterly basis, half in cash and half in stock. The number of shares issued is based on the closing price per share of the Company’s stock on the first day of the fiscal quarter when such amounts are payable.

Mr. Mengucci received no separate compensation for his service as director, except that he was eligible to be reimbursed for incurred expenses associated with attending meetings of the Board and its committees, such as when meetings were conducted at offsite locations.

The amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC 718 for awards of stock in fiscal year 2022 under the terms of the Company's 2016 Stock Incentive Plan. The grant date fair value per share is the closing price for the Company's stock on the November 11, 2021, grant date ($282.59).  For fiscal year 2022, the Company awarded 549 RSUs to Director Daniels, Disbrow, Gordon, Jews, Johnson, McCarthy, Nolan, Pavitt, Plunkett and Wallace with a grant date fair value of $155,000 each. Chairman Daniels was also awarded 96 shares on September 30, 2021 ($262.10); 93 shares on December 31, 2021; ($269.21); 83 shares on March 31, 2022 ($301.26) and 89 shares on June 30, 2022 ($281.78) each with a grant date fair value of approximately $25,000. The outstanding number of RSUs awarded to each director as of June 30, 2022 was as follows: Chairman Daniels 275; Director Disbrow 275; Director Gordon 275; Director Jews 275; Director Johnson 275; Director McCarthy 275; Director Nolan 275; Director Pavitt 275; Director Plunkett 275; Director Wallace 275.

Mr. McCarthy received $107,250 in consulting fees from the Company during fiscal year 2022.

 

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 ($80,000), 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

48

 


DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

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, 2021, this requirement translated into a requirement to hold 1,799 fully owned shares for all non-employee directors on the Board at that time except for Ms. Plunkett, who had an interim holding requirement of 1,075 fully owned shares, and Ms. Gordon, who had an interim holding requirement of 334 full owned shares. Interim holding requirements for Directors Disbrow, McCarthy and Nolan begin in December 2022.  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 were in compliance with their respective stock ownership requirements as of the December 1, 2021 checkpoint.

Change of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

As previously reported, the Audit Committee conducted a competitive review of independent registered public accounting firms to determine the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. The Committee invited several independent registered public accounting firms to participate in this process, including EY. After assessing proposals from the independent registered public accounting firms that participated in the process, on June 27, 2022, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board approve the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, subject to the execution of an engagement letter and completion of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s standard client acceptance procedures to ensure their independence. The Board approved the Audit Committee’s recommendation on June 27, 2022.

 

The audit reports of EY on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the Company’s fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure and there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions).

 

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 neither the Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP regarding any of the matters referred to in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.

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.

AUDIT INFORMATION

 

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022

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, 2022 for filing with the SEC.

MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS

 

Proposal 1Election 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 eleven persons 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

John S. Mengucci(1)

Lisa S. Disbrow

Philip O. Nolan

Susan M. Gordon

James L. Pavitt

William L. Jews

Debora A. Plunkett

Gregory G. Johnson

William Scott Wallace

Ryan D. McCarthy

 

(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 eleven 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 6 of this proxy statement.  Information about our nominating procedures and other corporate governance matters can be found under “Corporate Governance” on page 13 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.

54


MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS

 

Proposal 2Advisory 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 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders approved our fiscal year 2021 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 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Our shareholders approved the resolution on executive compensation with over 97% 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.


55


MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS

 

Proposal 3Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Audit Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to conduct an audit of the Company’s accounts for fiscal year 2023.

 

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 PricewaterhouseCoopers 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. Representatives of the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm are not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting.

 

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 PricewaterhouseCoopers 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 PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2023.

How are broker non-votes and abstentions treated?

ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION

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 with respect to the election of directors or Proposals 2 and 3 and thus will not affect the outcome of those matters at the Annual Meeting.

 

How do I find out the results of the Annual Meeting?

 

We expect to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and publish final voting results on the Investors 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.

General Information

 

Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the internet availability of proxy materials?

 

We are furnishing the proxy materials, including this proxy statement and our annual report, to our shareholders by providing access to such documents on the Internet in accordance with rules adopted by the SEC. Instead of receiving printed copies of the proxy materials, most shareholders will receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials that will instruct you on to how to access and review the proxy materials. Our proxy materials are also available on our Investors website at www.caci.com. The Notice was first mailed to our shareholders (other than those who previously requested electronic delivery) on September 8, 2022.

 

If you would like to receive a paper or email copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials in the Notice. Your election to receive proxy materials by mail or email will remain in effect until you revoke it.

 

Will I get more than one copy of the notice or proxy materials if multiple stockholders share my address?

 

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, 12021 Sunset Hills Road, Reston, Virginia 20190, 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 below) may contact their bank, broker or other nominee record holder to request information about householding.

 

What is the difference between a 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.

59

 


ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION

 

How do I inspect the list of shareholders of record?

 

A complete list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available at the Company’s headquarters for examination from October 9, 2022 through October 19, 2022 for any purpose related to the Annual Meeting and will also be available electronically during the Annual Meeting.

 

Who bears the cost of this proxy 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.
