We are committed to strong corporate governance practices designed to maintain high standards of oversight, integrity and ethics while promoting long-term shareholder value.
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 seven standing committees: Audit, Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating, 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.

·Board Committee Charters |
· By-laws |
· Standards of Ethics and Business Conduct |
· Corporate Governance Guidelines
|
· Director’s Code of Business Ethics and Conduct
|
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.
We intend to disclose any waiver granted to any director, principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or any other executive officer or any amendments to our codes of conduct, in the “Corporate Governance” section of our website within four business days following the date of such amendment or waiver.
The Board is responsible for determining the optimal leadership structure in order 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:

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers and directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Such officers, directors, and shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all such reports that they file.
Under the applicable regulations, the reporting person is responsible for making the filing. Ordinarily however, when a reporting person engages in a transaction with the Company, such as the grant of a stock option, RSU, or similar award, Company personnel generate the report on a timely basis for the benefit of the reporting person.
Based solely on a review of copies of reports filed with the SEC and of written representations by certain Officers and Directors, all persons subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) filed the required reports on a timely basis during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, with the exception of Mr. Johnson who had one late filing.

Addressing 2014 Say on Pay Vote
DECISION SUPPORT As the Compensation Committee made its fiscal 2016 compensation decisions, it considered that 73% of the CACI shareholders who voted on the Company’s executive compensation program (the “Say on Pay” proposal) at the Company’s last Annual Meeting of Shareholders had voted in favor of approving the compensation. As this was down from the prior year’s 79% approval rate and 2012’s 96% approval rate, the Company reached out to the top 20 shareholders and certain shareholder advisory services to discuss the Company’s compensation programs and review concerns they had, in addition to reviewing the concerns raised by certain shareholder advisory services. These comments led to changes in the fiscal 2016 compensation program.

ExeCutive Compensation
Following is a summary of the primary concerns during the 2014 vote by CACI shareholders and certain shareholder advisory services, and steps taken to address them where applicable.
Potential Concern |
Company Response |
CEO Pay for Performance Disconnect |
In 2013, upon appointment as CEO, Mr. Asbury received a new-hire stock award scheduled to vest ratably on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant. As acknowledged in their reports, pay for performance formulas utilized by certain shareholder advisory services did not take into account the unique circumstances of the new hire grant and the grant negatively impacted their pay for performance analysis.
Mr. Asbury is not anticipated to receive an additional stock grant until fiscal 2017.
|
Annual Incentive Plan is Uncapped |
Shareholders and certain shareholder advisory services expressed concerns that the annual incentive plan was uncapped.
Historically, our executive compensation program has never resulted in “runaway awards,” which was viewed as a risk of having an uncapped program. However, the Compensation Committee decided to cap the annual incentive compensation program at 250% of target beginning in fiscal 2016.
|
Undisclosed Performance-based Restricted Stock Units (“PRSUs” )Threshold and Program Rigor |
Shareholders and certain shareholder advisory services expressed concern that the Company did not disclose the financial threshold for PRSU grants made in fiscal 2014 and were worried the plan was not rigorous.
The threshold for fiscal 2015 is discussed below. In fiscal 2013 all grants were cancelled due to missing the financial threshold, which we believe proves the rigor of the program.
|
No Price Threshold on PRSUs |
Certain shareholder advisory services were concerned that the performance metrics applicable to our PRSUs did not contain a threshold level of stock price performance.
100% of our NEOs’ equity awards are performance based, with a potential for full loss as was evidenced by the cancellation of the 2013 grant despite 20% stock price growth during the performance period.
The Compensation Committee decided that adding an additional restriction to the grants to make them even more rigorous is unnecessary and increases the retention risk for key executives. Further, the Compensation Committee believes that the PRSUs fully align our executive and shareholder interests.
|
Grandfathered Excise Tax Gross-up Provisions |
Certain shareholder advisory services were concerned that severance and employment agreements for three named executive officers contain excise tax gross-up provisions upon a change-in-control.
The three agreements were negotiated in good faith in 2007, and have not been materially amended since that time. The Compensation Committee has committed to not include an excise tax gross-up in any new or materially amended agreements since that time, and has abided by that in the agreements for Messrs. Asbury and Mengucci, among others.

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 earnings per share (“EPS”), net after tax profit (“NATP”) and revenue.
The total fiscal year 2015 compensation paid to our NEOs reflects our financial results. The fiscal year 2015 actual cash compensation (salary plus annual incentive paid) paid to our Chief Executive Officer ranked in the bottom quartile when compared to the total compensation paid to chief executive officers at our peer competitors in the 16 company group the Committee uses for compensation comparisons. Similarly, the total fiscal year 2015 actual cash compensation paid to our other NEOs overall ranked in the second quartile when compared to the actual cash compensation paid by the competitors.
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 approximately 75% of our NEOs’ total direct compensation (“TDC”). The following is a list of 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 25%1 of our executives’ total compensation. |
At Risk |
Annual Incentives |
· Cash bonus plan that rewards NEOs for achieving quarterly and annual performance objectives. · EPS; NATP; revenue; and return on invested capital (“ROIC”). |
Long-Term Incentives |
· PRSUs earned based on achievement of certain performance goals 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. |
(1) |
Percentages throughout the CD&A are based on the annualized value of the equity grant Mr. Asbury received upon his hire in February 2013, the size of which was determined at the time to be required to obtain his services. Based upon the size of this grant and the vesting timeframe, the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Asbury would not be eligible for annual grants until fiscal 2017. |

Compensation Committee |
The Compensation Committee uses a comprehensive process to continually assess performance, 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 our 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. |
Historical Pay for Performance Results
Our pay for performance philosophy is reflected in the compensation that is actually earned by our NEOs over the past three years. The chart below summarizes our performance against the Compensation Committee performance metrics and the impact such performance had on our NEOs’ compensation:

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 throughout the year. The Compensation Committee held eight meetings over the course of fiscal 2015, five of which (including 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 www.caci.com. |
Compensation Committee’s Independent Compensation Consultant The Compensation Committee retained Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (Frederic W. Cook) as its independent compensation consultant. During fiscal 2015, 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. Frederic W. 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 Frederic W. Cook pursuant to SEC rules and concluded that their work for the Compensation Committee did not raise any conflicts of interest.

ExeCutive Compensation
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 against each of the incentive plan’s goals. The Committee uses a performance assessment framework to make CEO compensation decisions. For the other NEOs, the Committee, based on 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 2015:
FY 2014/2015 |
Q4 FY2014 | ending 6/30/2014 • Finalized fiscal 2015 compensation program design • Set total target direct compensation for the NEOs • Set the metrics and goals for the fiscal 2015 annual incentive plan
Q1 FY2015 | ending 9/30/2014 • Set the metrics and goals for the PRSUs and LTIP |

DETERMINE TDC TARGETS FOR THE NEOs
At the end of fiscal 2014, the Compensation Committee determined fiscal 2015 TDC targets for the CEO and each of the other NEOs 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, based on input from the CEO, reviews (1) business unit/staff group performance against the objectives set in fiscal 2014, 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 Recommendation: 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

ExeCutive Compensation
During fiscal 2015, Frederic W. Cook was responsible for providing information on new laws and regulations, general industry compensation practices, and 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. Frederic W. Cook participated in all meetings of the Committee during the fiscal year.
For fiscal 2015, peer comparisons were performed against 16 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 |
Booz Allen Hamilton |
Broadridge Financial Solutions |
Ciber, Inc. |
Cognizant Technical Solutions |
Convergys |
Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. |
Fiserv, Inc. |
Harris Corporation |
Leidos Holdings, Inc. |
ManTech International Corp |
Maximus, Inc. |
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 2015, SAIC, Inc. was replaced by Leidos Holdings Inc. due to its split from SAIC, Inc. in September 2013; and Sapient Corporation was removed due to its acquisition by Publicis Groupe.
General industry market analysis for NEO and other executive compensation was also performed for the Company by Towers Watson, which did not provide advice regarding the data provided to the Compensation Committee.
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 comparable companies in our industry in order to attract, retain and reward our NEOs.
Align management’s interests with those of shareholders. We seek to implement programs that will retain NEOs and increase long-term shareholder value by providing competitive compensation and granting long-term equity incentive awards each year.

In August 2014, the Compensation Committee reviewed our NEOs’ base salaries and made certain adjustments to more closely align our NEOs’ base salary to the median of our peer group and to reflect individual performance in fiscal 2014. The adjustments approved by the Compensation Committee (effective August 1, 2014) reflect the Compensation Committees previous decision to freeze the salaries of our NEOs in fiscal 2014 and Mr. Asbury’s request that his salary be reduced by 10% in fiscal 2014 based on the economic environment at that time and the lack of salary increases to employees in the U.S. Federal Government (our primary customer).

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 2015, the Compensation Committee reviewed our NEOs’ total cash compensation relative to our peers and made certain adjustments to more closely align our NEOs’ total cash compensation to the median taking into account that target total cash compensation was not increased in fiscal 2014 and was voluntarily decreased for Mr. Asbury. The table below shows the fiscal 2015 NEO target annual incentive levels that were approved by the Compensation Committee.

Fiscal 2015 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 due to their use in our planning and budgeting processes and are applied to each executive based on their responsibilities. For fiscal 2015, the Compensation Committee selected the following performance metrics:
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. |
|
Revenue |
Revenue is our primary measure of growth which requires expansion of current business and the capture of new business. |
|
EPS |
EPS is a measure of profitability that is commonly used by our shareholders in evaluating our performance. |
|
ROIC |
ROIC is a measure used to ensure our executives allocate capital efficiently in order to generate returns for our shareholders. |
|
UK NATP |
UK NATP is the primary indicator of CACI Limited’s performance. |

2015 Changes In fiscal 2015, the Compensation Committee changed the metrics used in the annual incentive plan for those who were most responsible for making and influencing capital allocation decisions, specifically Dr. London, Mr. Asbury, and Mr. Mutryn. As a result, the Compensation Committee implemented ROIC and EPS as metrics for these three executives. In addition, due to the potential volatility of quarterly EPS and ROIC metrics, it was determined to use these metrics only for the annual performance measurement.
|
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, historical performance against targets and the Company’s desire for growth. As a result, in fiscal 2015, the performance targets for NATP and EPS were set 2.9% above the Company’s plan and revenue and ROIC performance targets were set at the planned levels.
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. Above Stretch levels, bonus payouts are calculated as a percentage of the NEOs’ respective metric performance. The ranges between Cut, Target and Stretch levels are based upon multiple factors assessed by the Compensation Committee, including historical ranges and historical performance against Target, Cut, and Stretch metrics. For fiscal 2015, the Compensation Committee approved the Cut thresholds at 91% of Target and Stretch Thresholds at 104% of Target.
Fiscal 2015 Performance
Performance relative to each metric used in calculating our NEOs annual incentive payout is delineated as follows on an annual basis for fiscal 2015 (in millions, except EPS and ROIC):

Based upon requests made by Messrs.

The amounts that would have otherwise been paid to each were Dr. London, $24,975; Mr. Asbury, $50,640; and Mr. Mutryn, $21,522.

Fiscal 2015 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. In order 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 90 calendar days immediately preceding the grant to the average stock price over 90 calendar days immediately preceding the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to an overall cap of 200% of target. 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 2015 was set at $4.00. This was based on a reduced level of profit earned from new business awards than that in the Company plan, which was deemed to be a realistic possibility given the existing 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 2006 Stock Incentive 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 acquisition, spin-offs, privatization and new public offerings made the measurement over a three-year period unfeasible at this time. Further, we spoke with several of our investors about the potential usage of a stock market index for a relative measurement, and received minimal support for this alternative.
The Compensation Committee used market data provided by its compensation consultants in order to set the dollar value of equity for the named executive officers. Based on this review, the Compensation Committee made certain adjustments to align our NEOs with the median of our peer group.

Mr. Asbury received a stock grant upon his hiring in February 2013 in the form of 300,000 time-based RSUs (Restricted Stock Units); while compensation offered to executive officers is generally performance-based it was determined at the time of Mr. Asbury’s hiring that the time-based format was required to obtain his services. Based upon the size of this grant and the vesting timeframe, the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Asbury would not be eligible for annual grants until fiscal 2017.

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 selected NATP and revenue as performance metrics for the LTIP, to incent higher levels of long-term growth along these important metrics. Although performance under our annual incentive plan is evaluated along these same metrics, the LTIP targets are set well above the annual incentive plan levels. For fiscal 2015, NATP was set 5% higher than the annual incentive plan target (a total of 8% above the Company’s plan), and Revenue was set 8% higher than the annual incentive plan target.
The Compensation Committee has sole discretion in selecting participants in the LTIP, with participation intended to be limited to people most able to impact the achievement of the metrics. Among the NEOs, Mr. Mengucci and Mr. Mutryn were selected to participate in the LTIP for fiscal 2015. At their request, Dr. London and Mr. Asbury were not considered for participation due to their existing incentives and their desire to focus the LTIP incentive on other executives within the Company.
|
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. In order to ensure that our participating NEOs are challenged, the performance required for payouts under the LTIP are set beyond the Stretch levels established under the annual incentive plan.
The Compensation Committee generally sets the LTIP target value for each participant to match their annual incentive plan target bonus level. As the metrics were intended to have a high level of difficulty to achieve, the Compensation Committee determined that market data provided by its compensation consultants did not directly apply to the determination of the bonus potential. For Mr. Mengucci and Mr. Mutryn, the Compensation Committee set their annual bonus potential equal to:

At the conclusion of each fiscal year after grant, CACI’s performance against the metrics will be measured. If both metrics are achieved, each participant would earn 100% of their annual bonus potential. If only CACI NATP or CACI revenue is achieved, only a portion of the annual potential would be earned.

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. The President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Chairman, Chief Operating Officer and President, U.S. Operations, and the Chief Financial Officer are also eligible for annual financial planning services. These items are 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 maintains severance agreements with all NEOs for the purpose of providing 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 in order 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.
37
ExeCutive Compensation
All stock granted during fiscal 2015 also 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.
Calculations for various termination scenarios are included in the “Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control” section of this proxy statement.
|
· |
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 executive officers. |
|
· |
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). |
Retirement Plans
The Company offers a non-qualified deferred compensation plan in order to encourage employees to save for their retirement. Eligible employees, which include all NEOs except for Mr. Bradford, 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 IRC section 401(a)(17) 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 2015.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (SERP) have been provided to NEOs in the past to offset the loss of benefits from previous employers in order to acquire their services and are, therefore, consistent with the Company’s philosophy of attracting and retaining critical talent. Mr. Mengucci was offered a SERP as part of his employment offer, and it will become effective upon its finalization. The Company provides no other executive a SERP and does not anticipate doing so in the future.
Management Stock Purchase Plan
The Company offers a Management Stock Purchase Plan (“MSPP”) in order 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, and enabling 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 the annual portion of their bonuses 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 (or as otherwise specified in the MSPP for matching awards that qualify under IRC section 162(m)). During fiscal 2015, the Compensation Committee approved a 15% discount with no matching.

ExeCutive Compensation
The benefit provided from MSPP purchases for each NEO is listed in column (i) of the Summary Compensation Table.
The Compensation Committee maintains executive stock ownership requirements for its 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. Requirements are based on a fixed number of fully owned shares that 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 the our shareholders. The amount of shares required to be held by each of our NEOs and the resulting multiple of each executive’s base salary is below:
Name |
Share Requirement |
Approximate Multiple of Salary as of Measurement Date |
J.P. London |
75,000 |
~10x |
Kenneth Asbury |
100,000 |
~10x |
John S. Mengucci |
65,000 |
~9x |
Thomas A. Mutryn |
45,000 |
~8x |
Gregory R. Bradford |
30,000 |
~7x |
As outlined above, the required levels correspond to a multiple of our executives’ salaries, which are well above benchmarked levels. 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 vested RSUs remaining 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.
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 senior officer is required to participate in the MSPP with 100% of the annual portion of their annual bonus going toward the purchase of RSUs until such time that they meet the required holding level.
All NEOs met their required stock holding requirement as of July 1, 2015.
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 covers incentive awards to “officers” (as defined in Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934), and was adopted in fiscal 2010. 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.
By way of comparison, the clawback imposed by Section 304 of SOX (which applies to CACI) is limited to the CEO and CFO and is based on material noncompliance by the issuer, as a result of misconduct, with any financial
39
ExeCutive Compensation
reporting obligation under the federal securities laws where such noncompliance requires the issuer to restate its financials. The SOX provision looks back one year and requires the issuer to recover all bonus or incentive-based or equity-based compensation paid to the CEO and CFO (in cases of misconduct). The Securities and Exchange Commission enforces Section 304; there is no private right of action.
The Compensation Committee is monitoring this policy to ensure that it is 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 is regularly updated on changes in regulations affecting compensation and how they impact executive compensation. The Compensation Committee ensures that Company compensation plans continue to meet such requirements.
IRC section 162(m) places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation that the Company may deduct in any one year with respect to our CEO and the three other most highly compensated named executive officers (other than our CFO). There is an exception to the $1,000,000 limitation for performance-based compensation meeting certain requirements. Our executive incentive compensation generally is performance-based compensation meeting the IRC’s requirements, and, as such, is intended to be fully deductible. The Compensation Committee structures compensation to take advantage of this exemption under Section 162(m) to the extent practicable, while satisfying the Company’s compensation policies and objectives. Because the Compensation Committee also recognizes the need to retain flexibility to make compensation decisions that may not meet the standards of Section 162(m) when necessary to enable the Company to continue to attract, retain, and motivate highly-qualified executives, it reserves the authority to approve potentially non-deductible compensation in appropriate circumstances.
In determining equity-based compensation, the Compensation Committee considers the potential expense of those programs under Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (ASC 718), and the financial impact on planned Company targets.
Risk Assessment
The Company has a Chief Risk Officer and among his tasks are attending meetings of the Committee and performing an annual assessment of the Company’s overall compensation risk profile. The Committee also engages Frederic W. Cook to perform an independent risk assessment of the Company’s executive and non-executive compensation programs. The results of these analyses have been findings that the compensation programs are appropriately structured to support a low risk profile and do not encourage inappropriate or excessive risk-taking.
40
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. 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, 2015 be included in the Company’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company made a $200,000 special CEO transition bonus payment to Dr. London and a $400,000 guaranteed bonus payment, his fiscal year 2013 prorated Target level, to Mr. Asbury for fiscal year 2013. The Company did not make any other non-performance based bonus payments to any other NEOs in fiscal years 2015, 2014 or 2013. |
(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, 2015, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 28, 2015. RSUs awarded to all NEOs other than Mr. Asbury during fiscal years 2013 - 2015, were in the form of performance-based RSUs. The grant date fair value of these awards was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation method. Based on the Company’s performance during the year ended June 30, 2015 and the Company’s stock price for the 90 day period ended September 23, 2015 as compared to the stock price for the 90 day period ended September 23, 2014, the award is currently at 114% of the target award. Based on the Company's performance during the year ended June 30, 2014 and the Company's stock price for the 90 day period ended September 13, 2014 as compared to the stock price for the 90 day period ended September 13, 2013, the final award was at 84.0% of the target award. Based on the Company’s performance during the year ended June 30, 2013, no awards for that fiscal year were earned. Such actual award number of units is reflected in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table. The grant date fair value of awards to Mr. Asbury in fiscal year 2013 were based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of the grant, as these awards were not subject to performance conditions. |
(4) |
Amounts reported in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column represent performance-based incentive compensation earned in fiscal years 2015, 2014 or 2013. Fiscal year 2015 includes amounts earned by Dr. London, $24,795; Mr. Asbury, $50,640; and Mr. Mutryn, $21,522 but not paid per their request and Compensation Committee review. |

The term of each NEO’s severance agreement is one year with automatic one-year extensions thereafter (except for the agreement provided to the President and Chief Executive Officer which is 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.
45
COMPENSATION TABLES
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 stock grants made since September 1, 2010, 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.
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 (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 of a change in control). 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.
The table below delineates the benefits upon a change in control for each NEO in fiscal 2015 under the scenarios as described above:

The agreements for Dr. London, Mr. Mutryn, and Mr. Bradford 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.
No changes to existing agreements were made during fiscal 2015.
Calculations for various termination scenarios are included in the “Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control” section below.
46
COMPENSATION TABLES
Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control
The tables below reflect 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, 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, 2015 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) |
Assumes that the executive officer resigned for “good reason” or was terminated without cause within one year of a change in control. Dr. London is entitled to this payment if he voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason within one year of a change in control. |
(2) |
For the Separation Payment following a Change in Control, includes incentive plan amounts earned but not yet paid for fiscal year 2015. For Mr. Mengucci and Mr. Mutryn, this also includes the annual bonus potential for the 2014 and 2015 LTIP, in accordance with the terms of those plans. |
(3) |
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. Mr. Bradford is not entitled to continued benefits under his severance agreement. |
(4) |
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. |
(5) |
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. |
(6) |
Based on the difference between the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock as of June 30, 2015 and the applicable exercise price of the vested portion of the equity awards. |
(7) |
Based on the number of RSUs that would vest multiplied by the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock as of June 30, 2015. All equity awards to executive officers would vest upon separation in connection with a change in control. For the performance-based grants made in September 2014, the maximum number of RSUs would result upon a change in control. Mr. Mutryn would also receive the value of cash contributed to the MSPP plus interest upon a voluntary termination or retirement. |

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 retainer, with such election to be made prior to the commencement of the effective calendar year. The number of issued RSUs is based on the fair market value of the stock on the date of purchase. |
(2) |
The base number of meetings for the Board and each applicable committee is up to 4 meetings per Fiscal Year. |
(3) |
Members of the Executive Committee are compensated on a per meeting basis. |
Dr. London and Mr. Asbury received no separate compensation for their service as directors, except that they were 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 2015 under the terms of the Company's 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. The grant date fair value per share is the closing price for the Company's stock on the November 20, 2014 grant date ($85.62). For fiscal year 2015, the Company awarded 1,402 RSUs to Directors Daniels, Gilmore, Jews, Johnson, Pavitt, Phillips, Revoile, and Wallace with a grant date fair value of $120,039 each. The outstanding number of RSUs awarded to each director as of June 30, 2015 was as follows: Daniels, 701; Gilmore, 701; Jews, 701; Johnson, 701; Pavitt, 701; Phillips, 701; Revoile, 701; Wallace, 701. |
The Committee has also adopted stock ownership requirements for outside members of the Board to align the interest of shareholders and directors. The requirement is based on five times the value of their Annual Retainer, converted annually to a whole number of shares based on the 90-day average price of CACI stock. Stockholdings are measured annually as of December 1st to determine compliance with the plan. The requirement is based upon the prior year’s level plus one-half of all vested restricted stock units. 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 his earned Annual Retainer and committee fees going toward the quarterly purchase of CACI stock, until such time as he meets the required holding level.
For the compliance checkpoint on December 1, 2014, this requirement translated into a requirement to hold 3,589 fully owned shares. 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 outside directors with those of the Company’s shareholders. Until the Director holds the required number of shares, he is limited with respect to the number of shares he is allowed to sell, and is only allowed to sell one-half of 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. All outside directors currently meet their required stock ownership requirement.

AUDIT INFORMATION
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 service 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 a member of the Audit Committee 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 2015
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 Securities and 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 under Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees; |
3. |
It has received from the independent auditors written disclosures regarding the auditors’ independence required by PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence, and 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, 2015 for filing with the SEC. |

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 ten persons for reelection to serve as members of the Board until the next Annual Meeting or until a successor has been elected and qualified, or until the director’s earlier death, resignation or removal:
Nominees
J.P. London |
Michael A. Daniels |
James S. Gilmore III |
Charles P. Revoile |
Gregory G. Johnson |
William Scott Wallace |
James L. Pavitt |
William L. Jews |
Warren R. Phillips |
Ken Asbury(1) |
(1) |
Under his employment agreement, if Mr. Asbury 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 would resign from the Board. |
Unless authority is withheld, 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 a as 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 these nominees should serve as directors under “Board of Directors” on page 5 of this proxy statement. Information about are nominating procedures and other corporate governance maters can be found under “Corporate Governance” on page 11 of this proxy statement.
Required Vote
A majority of the votes properly cast for a director is sufficient to elect such director. Broker-non votes are not treated as votes cast, however, votes to withhold authority are considered properly cast.
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.

MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS
Proposal 2Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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 20, 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 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders approved our fiscal 2014 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 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Our shareholders approved the resolution on executive compensation with over 73% of shares being cast in favor of our executive compensation. After the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, in an effort to further align our executive compensation program with shareholder interest, the Compensation Committee took certain actions as discussed under “Addressing 2014 Say on Pay Vote” on page 22 of this proxy statement. 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 is necessary for the matter to be approved. Broker non-votes and abstentions will not be counted in evaluating the results of the vote.
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.
53
MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS
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 2015. The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP to serve as independent registered public accounting firm to conduct an audit of the Company’s accounts for fiscal 2016.
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 is necessary for the matter to be approved. Abstentions will not be counted in evaluating the results of the vote, but as a routine matter under NYSE rules, a beneficial owner’s nominee may vote on the ratification of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm without instructions from their beneficial owners. 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 2016.

Shareholders Entitled to Vote
All shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 21, 2015 may vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting.
55
ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION
As of the Record Date, there were 24,240,243 shares of common stock outstanding. A complete list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination from November 4, 2015 through November 18, 2015 for any purposed 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 your 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 over 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 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 at 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 after following the voting procedures outlined above. |
Note that beneficial owners must follow your nominee’s instructions to revoke your proxy 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.
In order to pass, a proposal must receive a majority of votes properly cast for that proposal.
56
ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION
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 2016. In tabulating the voting result for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered voting power present 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.
Attendance at the Annual Meeting is limited to shareholders as of September 21, 2015, 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; |
|
2. |
and 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 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 will 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 will also 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
57

Solicitation
We will bear the costs of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting and have retained Morrow & Co., 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 material to their principals. Proxies also may be solicited without extra compensation by certain officers, directors and other employees of the Company, by telephone or telegraph, by personal contact, or by other means.
Shareholder Proposals for 2016 Annual Meeting
Proposals for the 2016 Proxy Statement: Shareholders may present proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at the 2016 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 our 2016 Annual Meeting, the Company’s Secretary must receive the written proposal no later than June 10, 2016. If we hold our 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders more than 30 days before or after November 19, 2016, 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.
Proposals for the 2016 Annual Meeting: Shareholders who wish to present a proposal for consideration at the 2016 Annual Meeting, but do not intend for the proposal to be included in our proxy statement, must follow the advanced notice provisions of our By-laws. Our By-laws require that such proposals be delivered to the Company’s Secretary in a timely manner and contain information related to the shareholder and proposal. For a shareholder proposal to be considered timely, the Company’s Secretary must receive the written proposal at no later than June 22, 2016.

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. In addition, shareholders may also nominate directors for election at the 2016 Annual Meeting by giving timely notice under our By-laws, which require notice with the same period as shareholder proposals that are not intended for inclusion in our proxy statement.
