2020 Proxy Statement \| 4



INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

Proxy Statement

This Proxy Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of Science Applications International Corporation ("SAIC"), a Delaware corporation, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors ("Board") for use at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held on Wednesday, June 3, 2020, at 9:00 a.m. (ET) as a virtual meeting via webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SAIC2020, and at any and all adjournments, postponements or continuations thereof. This Proxy Statement and the proxy and voting instruction card are first being sent or made available to our stockholders on or about April 22, 2020.

Information About Voting Rights and Solicitation of Proxies

Q: Who is entitled to vote at the annual meeting?


A:	Only stockholders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on our record date of April 7, 2020 are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the annual meeting. As of April 7, 2020, there were 57,922,670 shares of common stock outstanding. We have no other class of capital stock outstanding.

Q: Who may attend the annual meeting?

All stockholders as of our record date of April 7, 2020, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the virtual annual meeting as well as vote and submit questions during the webcast of the meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SAIC2020 and entering the 16-digit control number included in our Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or on your proxy card (if you received a printed copy of the proxy materials).

Q: Why hold a virtual annual meeting?

We believe that a virtual stockholder meeting provides greater access to those who may want to attend our annual meeting and, therefore, have chosen this over an in-person meeting. We ensure that at our virtual annual meeting, all attendees are afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would at an in-person meeting. These procedures include the ability for stockholders to ask questions during the course of the meeting, post appropriate questions received during the meeting for review by other participants, review our corresponding answers to such questions on our Investors Relations website at investors.saic.com as soon as possible after the meeting and access technical support staff during the meeting in the event of difficulties arising from the use of the virtual meeting platform. We continue to receive positive feedback from our stockholders as we adopt best practices and new technologies for our annual meeting, proxy statement and related materials. We evaluate annually the method of holding the annual meeting, taking into consideration the above factors as well as business and market conditions and the proposed agenda items. We continue to believe that holding our annual meeting virtually over the internet is the right approach for our company, as it enables more of our geographically diverse base of stockholders to participate in our annual meeting.

Q: What constitutes a quorum?


A:	The presence, either in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the total voting power of the shares of common stock outstanding as of April 7, 2020, is necessary to constitute a quorum and to conduct business at the annual meeting. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

Q: What is a broker “non-vote”?

A broker “non-vote” occurs when a broker, bank or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that matter and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. In tabulating the voting results for a particular proposal, broker “non-votes” are not considered entitled to vote on that proposal. Broker “non-votes” will not have an effect on the outcome of any matter being voted on at the meeting, assuming a quorum is present.

Unless you provide voting instructions to any broker holding shares on your behalf, your broker may not use discretionary authority to vote your shares on any of the matters to be considered at the annual meeting other than the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm. Please vote your shares or provide voting instructions to your broker so your vote can be counted.

Q: How many votes am I entitled to?


A:	Each holder of common stock will be entitled to one vote per share, in person or by proxy, for each share of stock held in the stockholder’s name as of April 7, 2020, on any matter submitted to a vote of stockholders at the annual meeting.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

Q: How do I vote my shares?


A:	Shares of common stock represented by a properly executed and timely proxy will, unless it has previously been revoked, be voted in accordance with its instructions. In the absence of specific instructions, the shares represented by a properly executed and timely proxy will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations as follows:


•	FOR all of the company’s nominees to the Board;


•	FOR the approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers ("Say-on-Pay");


•	FOR the approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of an annual Say-on-Pay vote; and


•	FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending January 29, 2021.

No other business is expected to come before the annual meeting; however, should any other matter properly come before the annual meeting, the proxy holders intend to vote such shares in accordance with their best judgment on any additional matter.

There are four different ways to vote your shares:




By Internet	By Telephone
You may submit a proxy or voting instructions over the Internet by going to www.proxyvote.com or by scanning the QR code on your proxy and voting instruction card with a smart phone and following the instructions.	You may submit a proxy or voting instructions by calling 1-800-690-6903 and following the instructions.


By Mail	At The Virtual Annual Meeting
If you received your proxy materials in the mail, you may complete, sign and return the accompanying proxy and voting instruction card in the postage-paid envelope provided.	If you are a stockholder of record you may electronically attend the virtual annual meeting and vote your shares at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SAIC2020 during the meeting. You will need to provide your 16-digit control number that is on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or your proxy card if you receive a printed copy of the proxy materials by mail.

Submitting a proxy will not prevent you from attending the annual meeting and voting virtually. Any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to exercise by delivering a written revocation or a new proxy bearing a later date to our mailing agent, Broadridge, as described below or by attending the virtual annual meeting and voting in person. The mailing address of our mailing agent is Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. Attendance at the virtual annual meeting will not, however, in and of itself, revoke a proxy.

Q: What are the voting deadlines?


A:	For shares not held in the Science Applications International Corporation Retirement Plan (the “SAIC Retirement Plan”), the deadline for submitting a proxy using the Internet or the telephone is 11:59 p.m. (ET) on June 2, 2020. For shares held in the SAIC Retirement Plan, the deadline for submitting voting instructions using any of the allowed methods is 11:59 p.m. (ET) on May 29, 2020.



		Science Applications International Corporation
2020 Proxy Statement \| 6



INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

Q: How are the shares held by the SAIC Retirement Plan voted?

Each participant in the SAIC Retirement Plan has the right to instruct Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company ("Vanguard"), as trustee of the SAIC Retirement Plan (the “SAIC Trustee”), on a confidential basis, how to vote his or her proportionate interests in all shares of common stock held in the SAIC Retirement Plan. The SAIC Trustee will vote all shares held in the SAIC Retirement Plan for which no voting instructions are received in the same proportion as the shares for which voting instructions have been received by participants in the SAIC Retirement Plan. The SAIC Trustee’s duties with respect to voting the shares of common stock in the SAIC Retirement Plan are governed by the fiduciary provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The fiduciary provisions of ERISA may require in certain limited circumstances that the SAIC Trustee override the votes of participants with respect to the shares of common stock held by the SAIC Trustee.

Q: How are the shares held by the SAIC Stock Plans voted?

Under the terms of our Management Stock Compensation Plan and Key Executive Stock Deferral Plan (collectively, the "SAIC Stock Plans"), Vanguard, as trustee of the SAIC Stock Plans, has the power to vote the shares of common stock held in the SAIC Stock Plans. Vanguard will vote all those shares in the same proportion that our other stockholders collectively vote their shares of common stock. If you are a participant in any of the SAIC Stock Plans, you do not have the right to instruct Vanguard how to vote or to otherwise vote your proportionate interests in the shares of common stock held in such SAIC Stock Plan.

Q: What is the difference between a “stockholder of record” and a “beneficial” holder?

These terms describe how the ownership of your shares is reflected on the books of our transfer agent, Computershare. If your shares are registered directly with Computershare, then you are a “stockholder of record” of these shares. If your shares are held in an account at a broker, bank, trust or other similar organization, then you are a “beneficial” holder of these shares. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the annual meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct the organization on how to vote the shares held in your account. If you wish to vote in person at the virtual annual meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from the organization holding the shares.

Q: Who is soliciting these proxies?

We are soliciting these proxies and the cost of the solicitation will be borne by us, including the charges and expenses of persons holding shares in their name as nominee incurred in connection with forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of those shares. In addition to the distribution of the proxy materials by mail and through the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials described below under the caption "Internet Availability of Proxy Materials," proxies may be solicited by our officers, directors and employees in person, by telephone or by email. These individuals will not be additionally compensated for such solicitation but may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such solicitation.

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

We have adopted a procedure approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) called “householding.” Under this procedure, we send only one proxy statement and one annual report to eligible stockholders who share a single address, unless we have received instructions to the contrary from any stockholder at that address. This practice is designed to reduce our printing and postage costs. Stockholders who do not participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy and voting instruction cards. We do not use householding for any other stockholder mailings.

If you are a registered stockholder residing at an address with other registered stockholders and wish to receive a separate copy of the proxy statement or annual report, or if you do not wish to participate in householding and prefer to receive separate copies of these documents in the future, please contact our mailing agent, Broadridge, either by calling toll-free at (800) 542-1061, or by writing to Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. If you own shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, you should contact the nominee concerning householding procedures. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of the proxy statement or annual report to you upon request.

If you are eligible for householding, but you and other stockholders of record with whom you share an address currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement or annual report and you wish to receive a single copy of each of these documents for your household, please contact our mailing agent, Broadridge, at the telephone number or address indicated above to bring this to our mailing agent’s attention.

Q: Where can I find the voting results of the annual meeting?


A:	We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the annual meeting and publish final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days of the annual meeting.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

Internet Availability of Proxy Materials

As permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC, we are using the Internet as a means of furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders. We believe this method makes the proxy distribution process more efficient, lowers costs and helps in conserving natural resources.

On or about April 22, 2020, we mailed to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access our proxy materials, including the proxy statement and annual report. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also instructs you on how to access your proxy and voting instruction card to be able to vote through the Internet or by telephone. Other stockholders, in accordance with their prior requests, and employees with regular access to email through their company email address have received email notification of how to access our proxy materials and vote via the Internet or by telephone or have been mailed paper copies of our proxy materials and a proxy and voting instruction card.

The proxy statement and annual report are available at www.proxyvote.com.

2020 Proxy Statement \| 8



PROPOSAL 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

PROPOSAL 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the annual meeting, ten directors are to be elected to serve for one-year terms to hold that position until each director’s successor is elected and qualified unless any of the directors resign or are removed prior to the end of their respective term. All nominees have been nominated by the Board based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee thereof. To the best knowledge of the Board, all of the nominees are able and willing to serve. Each nominee has consented to be named in this Proxy Statement and to serve if elected. Each nominee listed below is currently a director of the company and, other than Carol A. Goode, Yvette M. Kanouff and Nazzic S. Keene, each was elected by the stockholders at our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders. Ms. Goode and Ms. Kanouff were elected to serve as directors by the Board effective as of August 27, 2019, and are standing for election by our stockholders as directors of the company for the first time at this year’s annual meeting. Mses. Goode and Kanouff were each first identified as a potential director candidate by a third-party recruiting firm engaged by the company. Each was then evaluated by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in advance of its recommendation of their service as a director.

Anthony J. Moraco, the company's former Chief Executive Officer and a former member of the Board, retired from SAIC effective as of July 31, 2019. Ms. Keene was appointed as a member of the Board effective as of July 31, 2019, in connection with her appointment as Chief Executive Officer of SAIC and is standing for election by our stockholders as a director of the company for the first time at this year's annual meeting.

Majority Voting Standard in Uncontested Director Elections

We have adopted majority voting procedures for the election of directors in uncontested elections. In an uncontested election, nominees must receive more “for” than “against” votes to be elected without further action. Abstentions are not counted as votes cast. As provided in our bylaws, a “contested election” is one in which the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected. The election of directors at the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders is an uncontested election.

If an incumbent director receives more “against” than “for” votes, he or she is expected to tender his or her resignation in accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider the offer of resignation and recommend to the Board the action to be taken. The Board will promptly disclose its decision as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation in a press release, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public announcement.

Shares of common stock represented by properly executed, timely received and unrevoked proxies will be voted as instructed in the proxy. In the absence of specific instructions, the shares represented by properly executed, timely received and unrevoked proxies will be voted “for” each nominee. If any of the nominees listed below becomes unable to stand for election at the annual meeting, the proxy holders intend to vote for any person designated by the Board to replace the nominee unable to serve.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR each nominee.

Nominees for Election to the Board of Directors

Set forth below is a brief biography of each nominee for election as a director and a brief discussion of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led to the Board’s conclusion that the nominee should serve as a director of our company. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of recommending to stockholders a group of nominees with complementary skills and a diverse mix of backgrounds, perspectives and expertise beneficial to the broad business diversity of the company. Our board membership criteria and director nomination process are described in the “Corporate Governance” section of this Proxy Statement.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Board recognizes the importance of strong corporate governance as a means of addressing the various needs of our stockholders, employees, customers and other stakeholders. As a result, our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines which, together with our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, committee charters and other key governance practices and policies, provide the framework for our corporate governance. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines cover a wide range of subjects, including criteria for determining the independence and qualification of our directors. These guidelines are available on our Investor Relations website at investors.saic.com by clicking on the link entitled “Corporate Governance.” The Board recognizes that observing good corporate governance practices is an ongoing responsibility. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee regularly reviews corporate governance developments and recommends revisions to these Corporate Governance Guidelines and other corporate governance documents as necessary to promote our and our stockholders’ best interests and to help ensure that we comply with all applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange requirements relating to corporate governance.

Proxy Access

Our bylaws include a “proxy access” provision for director nominations under which eligible stockholders may nominate candidates for election to our Board and inclusion in our proxy statement for our annual meeting of stockholders. The “proxy access” provision provides that:


•	an eligible stockholder, or an eligible group of up to 20 stockholders, representing at least 3% of our outstanding shares of common stock,


•	owning those shares continuously for at least three years,


•	can nominate and include in our proxy statement director nominees constituting up to 25% of the Board or, if that percentage is not a whole number, the closest whole number below 25%, but not less than two individuals, for election at our annual meeting of stockholders.

These “proxy access” director nominees are subject to certain eligibility, procedural and disclosure requirements as further set forth in Section 3.17 of our bylaws.

Code of Conduct

All of our employees, including our executive officers and our directors, are required to comply with our Code of Conduct, which describes our standards for protecting company and customer assets, fostering a safe and healthy work environment, dealing fairly with customers and others, conducting international business properly, reporting misconduct and protecting employees from retaliation. Our Code of Conduct forms the foundation of our corporate policies and procedures designed to promote ethical behavior in all aspects of our business.

Our Code of Conduct is available on our Investors Relations website at investors.saic.com by clicking on the link entitled “Corporate Governance.”

Director Independence

The Board annually determines the independence of each of our directors and nominees in accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines. These guidelines provide that “independent” directors are those who are independent of management and free from any relationship that, in the judgment of the Board, would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment. No director qualifies as independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with us (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization with which we have a relationship). The Board has established independence standards set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines that include all elements of independence required by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

All members of the Audit, Human Resources and Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees must be independent directors as defined under our Corporate Governance Guidelines. Members of the Audit Committee must also



15 \| saic.com



CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

satisfy a separate independence requirement pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act”), which requires that they not accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from us or any of our subsidiaries other than their directors’ compensation or be an affiliated person of us or any of our subsidiaries.

Each year, our directors complete a questionnaire which requires them to disclose any transactions with us in which the director or any member of his or her immediate family might have a direct or potential conflict of interest. Based on an analysis of the responses, the Board determined that all directors, except for Mr. Moraco, because of his role as our former Chief Executive Officer, and Ms. Keene, because of her role as our current Chief Executive Officer, are independent under its guidelines and free from any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment. The Board considered the following relationships involving Mr. Bedingfield and Dr. Hamre in reaching the conclusion that those relationships did not interfere with the exercise of each of their independent judgment:


•	Mr. Bedingfield’s son, Kenneth Bedingfield, served as the Chief Financial Officer of Northrop Grumman Corporation from February 2015 to February 2020; and


•	Dr. Hamre is Chairman of the Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee, a committee that advises the Secretary of Defense on foreign policy matters and has no role in acquisition issues.

Criteria for Board Membership

To fulfill its responsibility to identify and recommend to the full Board nominees for election as directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the composition of the Board to determine the qualifications and areas of expertise needed to further enhance the composition of the Board. In evaluating potential nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board consider each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of recommending to stockholders a slate of individual director nominees that can best continue the success of our business and advance stockholders’ interests. In evaluating the suitability of individual nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board consider many factors, including:

✓ expertise and involvement in areas relevant to our business such as defense, intelligence, science, finance, government or commercial and international business;

✓ interpersonal skills, substantial personal accomplishments and diversity as to gender, age, race, ethnic background and experience;

✓ commitment to business ethics, professional reputation, independence and understanding of the responsibilities of a director and the governance processes of a public company;

✓ demonstrated leadership, with the ability to exercise sound judgment informed by diversity of experience and perspectives; and

✓ benefits from the continuing service of qualified incumbent directors in promoting stability and continuity, contributing to the Board’s ability to work together as a collective body and giving the company the benefit of experience and insight that its directors have accumulated during their tenure.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the director selection process annually and the Committee and the Board collectively assess its effectiveness through an annual written evaluation process. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has been directed by the Board to observe the following principles contained in our Corporate Governance Guidelines:

✓ a majority of directors must meet the independence criteria established by the Board;

✓ based upon the range of 7 to 14 directors currently specified in our bylaws, no more than three directors may be an employee of SAIC;

✓ only a full-time employee who serves as either the Chief Executive Officer or one of his or her direct reports will be considered as a candidate for an employee director position; and

✓ no director nominee may be a consultant to the company.

The Board expects a high level of commitment from its members and will review a candidate’s other commitments and service on other boards to ensure that the candidate has sufficient time to devote to the company. In addition, non-employee directors may not serve on the board of directors of more than four other publicly-traded companies. Moreover, directors are expected to act ethically at all times and adhere to our Code of Conduct.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board Leadership Structure

The Board is currently led by a non-executive Chair, Ms. Morea, who is an independent director. Our Board believes that it is in the best interests of stockholders for the Board to have the flexibility to determine the most qualified and appropriate individual to serve as Chair of the Board, whether that person is an independent director or the Chief Executive Officer. The Board selects the Chair annually and may decide to separate or combine the roles of Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, if appropriate, at any time in the future. In cases where the Board determines it is in the best interests of our stockholders to combine the positions of Chair and Chief Executive Officer, the independent directors will upon nomination and recommendation by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, elect a lead independent director with the responsibilities described in our Corporate Governance Guidelines.

The functions of the non-executive Chair of the Board include:

• planning the Board’s annual schedule of meetings and agendas, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer and Corporate Secretary and other directors as appropriate;

• coordinating with the Chief Executive Officer and the Corporate Secretary to ensure that the Board receives the appropriate quantity and quality of information in a timely manner to enable it to make informed decisions;

• chairing all meetings of the Board and of the independent directors in executive session and ensure that meetings are conducted efficiently and effectively;

• facilitating full and candid Board discussions, ensuring all directors express their views on key Board matters and assist the Board in achieving a consensus;

• working with committee chairs to ensure that each committee functions effectively and keeps the Board apprised of actions taken;

• building consensus, developing teamwork and a cohesive Board culture and facilitating formal and informal communication with and among directors; and

• serving as the liaison between the Board and company management.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

As part of its oversight function, the Board and its committees monitor risk as part of their regular deliberations throughout the year. When granting authority to management, approving strategies, making decisions and receiving management reports, the Board considers, among other things, the risks facing the company. The Board also oversees risk in particular areas through its committee structure.

The Board has the following principal standing committees: Audit, Risk Oversight, Human Resources and Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance. The charters of these committees are available in print to any stockholder who requests them and are also available on our Investor Relations website at investors.saic.com by clicking on the link entitled “Corporate Governance.” Note that the Board's former Classified Business Oversight Committee and Ethics and Corporate Responsibility Committee were merged to create the Risk Oversight Committee effective as of August 1, 2019.

Director Nominations Process

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee utilizes a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for directors. The Committee regularly assesses the Board’s current and projected strengths and needs by, among other things, reviewing the Board’s current profile, the criteria for Board membership described on page 16 of this Proxy Statement and our current and future needs.

To the extent that vacancies on the Board are anticipated or otherwise arise, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee prepares a target candidate profile and develops an initial list of director candidates identified by the current members of the Board, business contacts, community leaders and members of management. The Committee may also retain a professional search firm to assist it in developing a list of qualified candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers any stockholder recommendations for director nominees that are properly received.

The Committee then screens and evaluates the resulting slate of director candidates to identify those individuals who best fit the target candidate profile and Board membership criteria and provides the Board with its recommendations. The Board then considers the recommendations and votes on whether to nominate the director candidate for election by the stockholders at the annual meeting or to appoint the director candidate to fill a vacancy on the Board.

Under Section 3.03 of our bylaws, in order for a stockholder to nominate a person for election as a director, the stockholder must give timely notice to our Corporate Secretary prior to the meeting at which directors are to be elected. To be timely, notice must be delivered to the Corporate Secretary not later than the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. If the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after such anniversary date, however, notice by the stockholder must be delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to that annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to that annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which we first publicly announce the date of that annual meeting, whichever occurs later.

The stockholder’s notice must include certain information as further provided in Section 3.03 of our bylaws about the nominee, the stockholder and the underlying beneficial owner, if any, including his or her respective name, age, address, occupation, shares, rights to acquire shares, information about derivatives, hedges, short positions, understandings or agreements regarding the economic and voting interests of the nominee, the stockholder and related persons with respect to our stock, if any, and any other information as would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of the proposed nominee. In addition, the notice must contain certain information about the stockholder proposing to nominate that person. We may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required to determine the eligibility of the proposed nominee to serve as a director. A stockholder’s notice must be updated, if necessary, so that the information submitted is true and correct as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting.

Mandatory Retirement Policy

The Board has adopted a mandatory retirement age of 75 for independent directors and 65 for employee directors. It is the general policy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee not to nominate candidates for re-election at any annual stockholder meeting to be held after he or she has attained the applicable retirement age.

Board of Directors Compensation

The Board uses a combination of cash retainers, fees and stock-based incentives to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve as directors. In determining director compensation, the Board considers the significant amount of time required of our directors in fulfilling their duties, as well as the skill and expertise of our directors. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee periodically reviews director compensation with the assistance of our independent compensation consultant and recommends to the Board the form and amount of compensation to be provided. The director compensation described below represents the total compensation received by our non-employee directors for their service.

Cash Compensation

Our directors receive a cash retainer for their service on the Board. For fiscal 2020, the annual retainer was $100,000 and the annual retainer for the Chair of each committee of the Board was an additional $15,000, except for the Chair of the Audit and Human Resources and Compensation Committees where the annual retainer is an additional $20,000, and the former Classified Business Oversight Committee where the annual retainer was an additional $10,000. The annual retainer for the Chair of the Risk Oversight Committee that was established as of August 1, 2019 was $15,000. The annual retainer for the independent Chair of the Board was an additional $160,000. These retainers are paid quarterly in advance. In addition to the cash retainers, non-employee directors also receive $2,000 for each meeting of the Board and each committee of the Board that they attend beginning with the second meeting above the standard number of meetings over the course of a given year. We also reimburse our directors for expenses incurred while attending meetings or otherwise performing services as a director. Based on the Human Resources and Compensation Committee review of the director compensation program with our independent compensation consultant, the Board approved an increase to the annual retainers for non-employee directors from $100,000 to $107,500 effective January 1, 2020. The annual Chair retainer fees for the Board and each current committee of the Board remained the same.

Equity Compensation

Directors are eligible to receive equity awards under our equity incentive plan. For fiscal 2020, each director was granted equity awards consisting of $100,000 in value of restricted stock units ("RSUs") and $50,000 in value of options to purchase shares of our common stock. These equity awards vest on the earlier of one year from the date of grant or on the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders following the date of grant. If a director retires due to our mandatory retirement policy, the director’s equity awards continue to vest as scheduled and options remain exercisable for the remainder of the option term. Based on the Human Resources and Compensation Committee review of the director compensation program with our independent compensation consultant, the Board approved eliminating stock option grants and increasing the value of RSUs granted to each director to $157,500, effective as of January 1, 2020.

Deferral Plans

Directors are eligible to defer all or any portion of their cash retainers and fees into our Deferred Compensation Plan. This plan is described in further detail in the “Executive Compensation -- Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement.

Stock Ownership Guidelines and Policies

The Board believes that directors should acquire and hold shares of our stock in an amount that is meaningful and appropriate. To encourage directors to have a material investment in our stock, the Board has adopted stock ownership guidelines that call for directors to hold shares of our stock with a value of at least five times the amount of each director's annual cash retainer. Board members are required to hold all shares of stock acquired under our equity programs until this target value is achieved. In addition to these ownership guidelines, our directors are also subject to policies that prohibit certain short-term or speculative transactions in our securities that we believe carry a greater risk of liability for insider trading violations or may create an appearance of impropriety. Our guidelines require directors to obtain preclearance from our General Counsel for all transactions in our securities. During fiscal 2020, all members of the Board were in compliance with these stock ownership guidelines.

Related Party Transactions

The Board has adopted written policies and procedures for the review and approval of transactions between us and certain “related parties,” which are generally considered to be our directors and executive officers, nominees for director, holders of five percent or more of our outstanding capital stock and members of their immediate families. The Board has delegated to the Risk Oversight Committee the authority to review and approve the material terms of any proposed related party transaction. If a proposed related party transaction involves a non-employee director or nominee for election as a director and may be material to a consideration of that person’s independence, the matter is also considered by the Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

In determining whether to approve or ratify a related party transaction, the Risk Oversight Committee considers, among other factors it deems appropriate, the following factors:


•	potential benefits to us;



25 \| saic.com



CORPORATE GOVERNANCE


•	the impact on a director’s or nominee’s independence or an executive officer’s relationship with or service to us; and


•	whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction.

In deciding to approve a transaction, the Risk Oversight Committee may, in its sole discretion, impose any conditions it deems appropriate on us or the related party. Any transactions involving the compensation of executive officers, however, are to be reviewed and approved by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee. If a related party transaction will be ongoing, the Risk Oversight Committee may establish guidelines to be followed in our ongoing dealings with the related party. Thereafter, the Risk Oversight Committee will review and assess ongoing relationships with the related party on at least an annual basis to determine whether they are in compliance with the Committee’s guidelines and that the related party transaction remains appropriate.

We engage in transactions and have relationships with many entities, including educational and professional organizations, in the ordinary course of our business. Some of our directors, executive officers or their immediate family members may be directors, officers, partners, employees or stockholders of these entities. We carry out transactions with these firms on customary terms. There were no transactions during fiscal 2020 in which any related party had a direct or indirect material interest.

PROPOSAL 2 - ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

PROPOSAL 2 - ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We are providing our stockholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC.

We urge stockholders to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section ("CD&A") contained in this Proxy Statement, which describes in detail how we closely align the interests of our named executive officers with the interests of our stockholders. As described in the CD&A, our compensation programs are designed to:


•	pay for performance by tying a majority of an executive officer’s compensation to the attainment of financial and other performance measures that, the Board believes, promotes the creation of long-term stockholder value and positions the company for long-term success;


•	generally provide the same types of benefits for executive officers as other employees, with no pension or death benefits for executive officers;


•	target total direct compensation at the median level among companies with which we compete for executive talent;


•	enable us to recover, or “clawback,” incentive compensation if there is any material restatement of our financial results, or if an executive officer is involved in misconduct;


•	require our executive officers to own a significant amount of shares of our common stock;


•	avoid incentives that encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking; and


•	compete effectively for talented executives who will contribute to our long-term success.

The Human Resources and Compensation Committee and the Board believe that these programs and policies are effective in implementing our pay for performance philosophy and achieving its goals. This non-binding, advisory stockholder vote, commonly known as “Say-on-Pay,” gives you, as a stockholder, the opportunity to advise whether or not you approve of our executive compensation programs and policies by voting on the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and any related material as set forth in this Proxy Statement.

The vote on this resolution is not intended to address any specific element of compensation; rather, the vote relates to the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in the CD&A and Executive Compensation sections of this Proxy Statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC. The vote is advisory, which means that the vote is not binding on the company, our Board or the Human Resources and Compensation Committee. However, as an expression of our stockholders’ view, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee considers the vote when making future executive compensation decisions.

At our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, our Say-on-Pay proposal received the support of approximately 96% of the votes cast by our stockholders. Our Board and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee believe that this vote reflected our stockholders’ support for the decisions made with respect to the compensation of our named executive officers for our fiscal year ended February 1, 2019.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented and entitled to vote either in person or by proxy is required to approve Proposal 2. Broker non-votes are not entitled to vote on this proposal and will not be counted in evaluating the results of the vote. Abstentions have the effect of a vote against the proposal. This advisory vote on executive compensation is non-binding.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the non-binding, advisory approval of the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.

2020 Proxy Statement \| 28



PROPOSAL 3 - ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) VOTE ON FREQUENCY OF VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

PROPOSAL 3 - ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) VOTE ON FREQUENCY OF VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We are providing our stockholders with the opportunity to vote, on a non-binding, advisory basis, on whether future advisory votes on executive compensation, or “Say-on-Pay,” of the nature reflected in Proposal 2 above should occur every year, every two years or every three years.

At our 2014 annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholders of the company recommended one year as the frequency of advisory voting on executive compensation. We have had annual Say-on-Pay votes since our 2014 annual meeting. After careful consideration of the three alternatives, the Board believes that continuing to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every year is the most appropriate policy for the company at this time and recommends that stockholders vote for future advisory votes on executive compensation to occur every year.

While our executive compensation programs are designed to promote a long-term connection between pay and performance, the Board recognizes that executive compensation decisions and disclosures are made annually and that an annual advisory vote on executive compensation would provide us with more direct and immediate feedback. Stockholders should note, however, that because the advisory vote on executive compensation occurs after the beginning of the compensation year, it may not be appropriate or even feasible to change the company’s current annual or multi-year executive compensation programs in response to any one year’s advisory vote before the following year’s annual meeting of stockholders. If we decide that responsive changes are appropriate, but immediate implementation is not practical, the impact of those changes may not be fully reflected in the following year’s proxy statement. In addition, the different elements of our executive compensation programs are designed to operate in an integrated manner and to complement one another, which may affect our ability to consider and implement responsive changes.

Vote Required

This advisory vote on the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes is non-binding. Stockholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this Proposal 3 on the proxy and voting instruction card: one year, two years, three years or abstain. The frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes receiving the highest number of votes (one, two or three years) by stockholders will be considered the frequency recommended by stockholders. Abstentions, a failure to vote or broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the vote on the matter.

Stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board’s recommendation. We currently expect to conduct an annual advisory vote on executive compensation, unless the voting results indicate a stockholder preference for a less frequent vote. In any case, the Board may vary its practice in future years based on factors such as discussions with stockholders and the adoption of material changes to compensation programs.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board unanimously recommends stockholders vote "ONE YEAR" as the frequency to conduct future advisory votes on executive compensation.

2020 Proxy Statement \| 30



COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

We maintained our commitment to profitable growth and long-term value creation. Full year revenue of $6.379 billion represents 37% of year-over-year growth. The revenue growth was driven primarily by our strategic acquisition of Engility.

Full year adjusted EBITDA increased to 8.4% of revenues, compared to 7.6% in the prior fiscal year. The increase was driven by the acquisition of Engility, the realization of cost synergies resulting from the acquisition, and strong operational execution.

Full year operating cash flow was $458 million. Cash flow generation is central to our shareholder value proposition and allowed us to deliver $87 million in annual dividend payments and repurchase $177 million in shares of our common stock during fiscal 2020.

Total Shareholder Return ("TSR")

as of January 31, 2020

https://cdn.kscope.io/5e0d6df79d403bc2fd77e296e44cc42d-totalshareholderreturn_1.jpg

TSR for fiscal year 2020 was 32%, outperforming the broader market index and a comparable technology index fund. However, over a prior three-year period, the company's TSR has significantly lagged the same broader market index and was modestly below the comparable technology index.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Summary of Compensation Philosophy

The company maintains a strong “pay-for-performance” compensation philosophy aimed at attracting and retaining high quality executive talent and rewarding our executive officers primarily through variable compensation. Fixed compensation (i.e., base salary) is set at appropriate levels to avoid competitive disadvantage and comprises the smallest portion of overall compensation. We believe that this philosophy serves to both encourage and recognize performance excellence and helps drive stockholder value while facilitating a sustainable fixed-cost structure.

The charts below depict approximate percentages for each element of target total direct compensation and demonstrate how compensation is significantly weighted towards variable compensation (short-term cash incentives, performance shares, RSUs and stock options). The details of all executive officer compensation are provided in the "Executive Compensation" section of this Proxy Statement.

Total direct compensation for named executive officers is targeted at approximately median levels of compensation of comparable positions in publicly traded companies of our size and in our industry. However, consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy, actual earned compensation varies above or below the median level based on the degree to which specific performance goals are achieved, changes in our stock value over time and the individual performance of each named executive officer.

As indicated above, base salary represents a significantly smaller portion of overall compensation than variable compensation. The allocation of a meaningful portion of overall compensation to annual cash incentive awards reflects our philosophy that a meaningful portion of total compensation should reflect the actual achievement of predetermined goals. The largest portion of overall compensation for our executive officers is allocated to long-term incentives, supporting long-term value creation and aligning the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders. Performance share awards ("PSAs") to our executive officers in fiscal 2020 are directly related to the achievement of EBITDA and annual operating cash flow over a three-year period commencing in fiscal 2020. A combination of PSAs, stock options and time-based RSUs provide an appropriate balance of medium-term and long-term incentives.

By aligning significant portions of named executive officers’ compensation with profitable growth and operating cash flow, a substantial portion of total compensation for our named executive officers is directly linked to long-term sustainable stockholder returns.

Based on performance delivered by the company in fiscal 2020, the calculated payout of the short-term financial portion of annual incentives was 98.2% of target, as discussed in greater detail on page 38. For fiscal 2020, the Committee determined to apply a leadership score ranging between 1.0 and 1.2 to the calculated cash incentive awards of the Chief Executive Officer and each other named executive officer, based upon an assessment of each executive's performance in leading the business and leading employees. PSAs granted for the fiscal 2018 through 2020 performance period were earned at 77.9% of target ending fiscal 2020.

Results of 2019 Stockholder Advisory Vote

Based on our stockholder advisory vote at our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, commonly referred to as a "Say-on-Pay" vote, our stockholders approved the compensation of our named executive officers, with approximately 96% of stockholder votes cast in favor of our 2019 Say-on-Pay resolution. The Committee, which is composed exclusively of independent directors, views this level of support for our executive compensation programs as indicative of broad stockholder agreement with the pay for performance philosophy on which our executive compensation programs are premised. Accordingly, the Committee determined not to make any significant changes to our programs as a result of the "Say-on-Pay" vote at our 2019 annual stockholders meeting.

We welcome feedback from stockholders regarding our executive compensation programs, which are described in more detail below. Stockholders desiring to communicate with the Board or the Human Resources and Compensation Committee may do so as described under "Communication with the Board of Directors" in this Proxy Statement. The Committee will continue to take into account stockholder votes on Say-on-Pay resolutions when evaluating our compensation philosophy and making changes to our compensation programs and practices. See “Proposal 2—Advisory (Non-Binding) Vote on Executive Compensation” and “Proposal 3—Advisory (Non-Binding) Vote on Frequency of Vote on Executive Compensation” in this Proxy Statement for additional information on our resolutions for 2020 Say-on-Pay and the frequency of future Say-on-Pay resolutions.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Elements and Objectives of Our Compensation Programs

Under the direction of the Committee, we provide the following principal elements of compensation to our named executive officers:

Base Salary

We provide a fixed base salary to our named executive officers based on their level of responsibility, expertise, skills, knowledge and experience and on competitive peer company and other applicable market data. We generally target our named executive officers’ base salaries at the median of the competitive market. Consistent with our philosophy of tying pay to performance, base salary represents a significantly smaller portion of overall compensation than variable compensation.

Variable Incentive Compensation

We use a combination of cash and equity incentive awards to foster and reward performance in key areas over short-term and long-term timeframes. Our annual cash incentive awards are based upon performance against predetermined goals for the fiscal year to encourage and reward contributions to our annual financial, operating and strategic objectives. We provide equity incentive awards to our named executive officers to motivate them to stay with us and build long-term stockholder value through their future performance. Stock options, in particular, aid in employee retention and motivate our named executive officers to build stockholder value because they may realize value only if our stock appreciates over the seven-year option term. The Committee generally does not consider an executive officer’s current stock or option holdings in making additional equity awards.

The following chart summarizes the relevant performance measures and time frames used for the variable pay elements in our program for fiscal 2020:

https://cdn.kscope.io/5e0d6df79d403bc2fd77e296e44cc42d-a200934varinccompa02.jpg


(1)	RSUs awarded prior to fiscal 2020 vest over a four-year period in 25% installments at each anniversary of the grant date. RSUs awarded in fiscal 2020 vest over a three-year period in 33% installments at each anniversary of the grant date.

Other Benefits

We also provide our named executive officers with benefits generally available to other employees, as part of a market competitive total compensation opportunity, such as participation in our health and welfare benefits, deferred compensation and retirement programs. Our named executive officers are also entitled to certain executive severance benefits if their employment is ended due to an organizational restructure, shift in business priorities, change in leadership skill requirements or certain other terminations of employment. Our executive health benefit plan for certain executive officers, including named executive officers, provides a comprehensive medical assessment and personalized preventive strategies to maintain and improve personal health.

At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Committee reviews and approves the following elements of direct compensation to be provided to our named executive officers:


•	base salary for the upcoming year;


•	payout range for the cash incentive awards that may be earned for the upcoming year and the performance goals and criteria upon which the amount of the awards will be determined;


•	mix and amount of equity incentive awards to be granted to our executive officers; and


•	payout range for PSAs that may be earned for the performance period beginning in that fiscal year and the length of the performance period, goals and criteria upon which the amount of the awards for the relevant performance period will be determined.

In determining the amounts of direct compensation to be awarded to our named executive officers, the Committee considers the company’s overall performance and competitive market data for our compensation peer group.

Company performance is the primary factor in determining variable compensation. The amount of any cash or performance-based equity incentive awards to be paid upon completion of the applicable performance period is determined based upon our achievement of short- and long-term financial goals set at the beginning of the fiscal year. The final cash incentive award payout also reflects a leadership component. The Committee retains the ability to use negative discretion to reduce payouts when appropriate.

Individual performance is a factor in setting base salaries. In determining base salaries for our named executive officers, the Committee reviews a performance assessment for each of our executive officers, as well as compensation recommendations provided by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Human Resources Officer. The Committee also considers market data, analysis and recommendations regarding executive officer compensation provided by Frederic W. Cook & Co. Inc. ("FW Cook"), its independent compensation consultant. The named executive officers do not propose their own compensation.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Committee assesses our Chief Executive Officer's performance. In determining compensation for our Chief Executive Officer, the Committee meets in executive session and evaluates her performance based on her achievement of performance objectives that are established at the beginning of the fiscal year. Formal input is received from the independent directors and the executive leadership team. The Committee also considers the Chief Executive Officer’s leadership contributions towards the company’s performance, including financial results, development and achievement of strategic objectives, progress in building capability among the executive leadership team, development of a succession plan for executive leadership and corporate governance leadership, as well as market data and analysis and recommendations provided by the Committee’s independent compensation consultant. The Committee determines the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation and then reviews her evaluation and compensation with the Board’s independent directors. The Chief Executive Officer does not propose her own compensation and is not present for discussions of her performance and compensation. The Independent Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Committee then present the Committee’s evaluation and compensation determination to the Chief Executive Officer.

The Committee reviews our compensation peer group annually. The Committee compares the amount of direct compensation we provide to our named executive officers to that provided by companies that we believe have similar revenues and industry focus to ours, as well as companies with whom we compete for executive talent with similar roles and responsibilities. To complete this effort, the Committee establishes a peer comparator group for each fiscal year and benchmarks each element of direct compensation (including salary, cash and equity incentives) to be provided to our named executive officers against that provided by other publicly traded engineering, information technology, consulting and defense companies, which we refer to as our “compensation peer group.” The compensation peer group used for determining fiscal 2020 target compensation consisted of the 15 companies listed below. As a result of mergers and acquisitions within the industry, six companies that were part of our fiscal 2019 compensation peer group were removed, and five companies were added to our fiscal 2020 compensation peer group.



Booz Allen Hamilton	L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc.⁽¹⁾
CACI International Inc	Leidos, Inc.
CGI Group, Inc.	ManTech International Corporation
Collins Aerospace	MAXIMUS, Inc.
Harris Corporation⁽¹⁾	Parsons Corporation
Huntington Ingalls Industries	Perspecta
Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc.	Unisys Corporation
KBR, Inc.


(1)	Harris Corporation and L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. merged to form L3Harris Technologies, Inc., as of June 29, 2019.

The compensation peer group is structured so that no company within the group has annual revenues greater than three times or less than approximately one-third of our estimated revenues for the fiscal year in which the peer group is reviewed. For comparison purposes, for fiscal 2020, our estimated annual revenues were at approximately the 48^th percentile of the revenues of the compensation peer group. In addition to the compensation peer group, data from three nationally-recognized, broad-based third-party surveys is compiled and provided for the Committee’s consideration regarding compensation that other comparably-sized companies provide to their chief executive officer, chief financial officer and other members of senior management. The identity of the individual companies comprising the survey data is not disclosed to the Committee in its evaluation process. The Committee considers this survey data and analysis along with the compensation peer group data when evaluating appropriate levels of direct compensation. To be competitive in the market for our executive-level talent, we generally target overall compensation for our named executive officers at approximately the market median, although the actual cash incentive awards paid and performance shares earned vary, consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy, based on operating performance and may therefore generate realized compensation that is higher or lower than the market median.

Components of Fiscal 2020 Compensation Programs

Base Salary

In reviewing and approving the fiscal 2020 base salaries for our named executive officers, the Committee considered its independent compensation consultant’s analysis of pay levels among the compensation peer group and survey data, which indicated that base salaries for our named executive officers were generally competitive relative to the peer group median and to survey data median for all executive officers. Actual individual base salary amounts also reflect the Committee’s judgment with respect to each named executive officer’s responsibility, performance, experience and other factors, the individual’s historical

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

compensation and any retention concerns. The Committee reviews named executive officers’ base salaries annually or at the time of a promotion or a substantial change in responsibilities based on the above-described criteria.

In fiscal 2020, base salaries for the named executive officers were increased to align with the peer group median levels and to maintain competitiveness of our compensation program and, in the case of Ms. Keene, to reflect increases in roles and responsibilities. The fiscal 2020 base salaries and the percentage increases from fiscal 2019 base salaries for our named executive officers are set forth below:



Name	Fiscal 2020 Base Salary	Percentage Increase from Fiscal 2019 Base Salary⁽¹⁾
Nazzic S. Keene	$1,000,000	33.3	%
Anthony J. Moraco	$1,060,000	2.9	%
Charles A. Mathis	$550,000	4.8	%
Steven G. Mahon	$575,000	15.0	%
Robert S. Genter	$450,000	5.9	%
James J. Scanlon	$450,000	5.9	%
Karen A. Wheeler	$415,000	7.8	%


(1)	Ms. Keene's salary percentage increase is over her fiscal 2019 base salary as the company's Chief Operating Officer.

Annual Cash Incentive Awards

Each named executive officer’s total fiscal 2020 short-term incentive ("STI") award depended upon the achievement of specific financial performance goals approved by our Committee and described below.

Performance goals for cash incentive awards. At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Committee sets and approves threshold, target and maximum performance goals for the upcoming year based on objective financial goals. Further, the Committee also reviews and approves the corresponding target cash incentive awards based upon the achievement of those goals. No amount is payable for below-threshold performance. When threshold performance is met, payouts are determined on a straight-line basis between threshold and target performance and between target and maximum performance.

Under our short-term incentive plan for fiscal 2020:


•	The award was determined by our company performance as well as a leadership component.

•

The financial performance measures used - EBITDA, revenue, and cash flow generation - directly align to our overall strategy and support increases in stockholder value. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be read in conjunction with net income, a GAAP financial measure; see the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations section in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2020, for further information.


•	The leadership component considered both business leadership competencies as well as people leadership competencies and could be used to modify and apply discretion to the final award amount based on the named executive officer’s performance during the year.

Performance measures for fiscal 2020. The financial performance measures for fiscal 2020 were closely aligned with the company’s strategy for sustained profitable growth and long-term value creation.

For fiscal 2020, we maintained the financial measures and their relative weightings that we used in fiscal 2019. The EBITDA metric, assigned a 50% relative weighting, emphasizes the focus on our profitability, which is critical to our long-term growth. The revenue and operating cash flow metrics, with weightings of 35% and 15%, respectively, focus the management team on revenue and cash flow generation. The financial performance measures, their relative weightings, the targeted and maximum achievement levels and actual performance for our short-term incentive program for fiscal 2020, as approved by the Committee, were as follows:

Determination of cash incentive award amounts. For fiscal 2020, the Committee set the target amount of the cash incentive award at 125% of base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and between 60% and 85% of base salary for the other named executive officers based on applicable market data. In determining the payout level amount, the Committee applied the weighted average payout for financial goals (98.2% in fiscal 2020 as calculated in the table above) to the target cash incentive amount and further applied a leadership factor determined by the Committee for the Chief Executive Officer, and with input from the Chief Executive Officer for the other named executive officers. The leadership scores for the executive officers ranged between 1.0 and 1.2 based upon an assessment of each executive's performance in leading the business and leading employees. For our named executive officers, the target cash incentive award amounts as a percentage of base salary and award amounts earned in fiscal 2020 were as follows:



Name⁽¹⁾	Base Salary		STI Target as % of Base Salary		Financial Score⁽²⁾		Cash Incentive Amount Paid
Nazzic S. Keene		$1,000,000	125	%	98.2	%		$1,227,000

James J. Scanlon		$450,000	60	%	95.1	%		$256,716

(1)

A short-term incentive program target was not established for Mr. Moraco, the company's former CEO, for fiscal 2020. The Board approved a short-term cash incentive payment amount of $242,084 to Ms. Wheeler, SAIC's former Executive Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer, based on an established target of 70% of base salary prorated for fiscal 2020 through December 1, 2019, her date of retirement.


(2)	To determine Mr. Genter and Mr. Scanlon’s fiscal 2020 cash incentive amount paid, the Committee applied a financial score based on a 75%/25% weighting of the 98.2% enterprise financial score and the financial score of the customer groups that they lead, respectively.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Long-Term Incentive Awards

We generally target our named executive officers’ long-term incentive awards at the median of the competitive market. In fiscal 2020, we provided the following forms of long-term incentive compensation to our named executive officers:



	Performance Shares—Incentivize our named executive officers to achieve specific measurable financial goals over a three-year performance cycle. Earned shares vest and are issued at the end of the performance cycle and range from 0% for below threshold performance to 150% of target number of shares for maximum performance. PSAs are granted in overlapping annual cycles and serve as a tool to align pay and company performance and to retain our named executive officers. Dividend equivalents are accumulated in cash and are paid at the end of the three-year performance cycle to the extent that the underlying share awards are earned.
	Restricted Stock Units—Align pay and company performance as reflected in our stock price, encourage retention of our named executive officers’ services and promote continued investment by our executives in company stock. RSUs awarded in fiscal 2020 vest over a three-year period in 33% installments at each anniversary of the grant date. Dividend equivalents on unvested RSUs accumulate in cash and are paid when and if the underlying RSUs vest.
	Stock Options—Strongly align named executive officer and stockholder interests by having value only if the stock price increases over the term of the option. Stock options vest in 33% installments at the end of each of the first three years following grant and expire at the end of the seventh year.

Fiscal 2020-2022 Performance Share Plan Awards

For fiscal 2020, 50% of the long-term incentives awarded to our named executive officers were provided in the form of performance shares (valued at target payout). The performance measures and corresponding weightings for these awards are as follows:



Performance Measures	Weight	Description
Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA	60%	A three-year average EBITDA growth goal measured against performance targets set at the beginning of the performance period
Adjusted Annual Operating Cash Flow	40%	An annual goal for each year is set at the beginning of the performance period

At the beginning of each three-year performance period, the Committee establishes the performance measures to be used for that performance period, their weightings and the levels of performance on those measures for the entire three-year performance period that will generate threshold, target, and maximum payouts. The number of performance shares delivered at the end of the three-year performance cycle may range from 0% for below threshold performance to 50% for threshold performance and up to 150% for maximum performance. When the performance threshold is met, payouts are determined on a linear interpolation basis for performance levels between threshold and target and between target and maximum. The final Performance Share Plan payout is delivered at the end of the three-year performance cycle.

The financial targets are closely aligned with the company’s long-term financial strategy and internal budgets, and not publicly disclosed at the time of the award issuance due to the proprietary and competitive nature of this information. Achievement and payouts for each of the above goals will be determined and disclosed by the Committee at the conclusion of fiscal 2022.

Certification of fiscal 2018-2020 performance share plan awards. The Compensation Committee reviewed and approved performance against pre-established targets for the fiscal 2018-2020 plan. Payout amounts for fiscal 2018-2020 performance shares were as follows:

Other Benefits Provided in Fiscal 2020

In addition to the elements of direct compensation described above, we also provide our named executive officers with the following benefits:

Health and welfare benefits. Our named executive officers are entitled to participate in all health and welfare plans that we generally offer to all of our eligible employees, which provide medical, dental, health, group term life insurance and disability benefits. We believe that these health and welfare benefits are reasonable in scope and amount and are of the kind typically offered by other companies against which we compete for executive talent. Additionally, our named executive officers are eligible to participate in a physical health program. The program provides the named executive officers with a comprehensive medical assessment and personalized preventive strategies to maintain and improve personal health.

Retirement benefits. Our named executive officers are entitled to participate in the same defined contribution retirement plan that is generally available to all of our eligible employees. Currently, we provide matching contributions to eligible participants’ retirement plan accounts based on a percentage of their eligible compensation under applicable rules. The average amount of contributions we made to the retirement plan accounts of our named executive officers in fiscal 2020 was approximately $8,345 per person. The Committee believes that these contributions to this retirement program permit our named executive officers to save for their retirement in a tax-effective manner, are reasonable in scope and amount and are of the kind typically offered by other companies against which we compete for executive talent.

Deferred compensation plans. To provide other tax-deferred means to save for retirement, we maintain a deferred compensation plan that allows our named executive officers and other eligible participants to elect to defer all or a portion of any cash incentive awards granted to them under our incentive plans and a portion of their eligible salary. We make no contributions to named executive officers’ accounts under these plans. Vested deferred balances under the plans will generally be paid upon retirement or termination. This plan is described in more detail under “Executive Compensation - Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” below in this Proxy Statement.

Perquisites and personal benefits. We do not provide excessive perquisites or personal benefits to our named executive officers.

Other Policies and Considerations

Assessment of Risks in our Compensation Programs

In the design and oversight of our compensation programs for named executive officers and all employees, the Committee, with assistance from the Committee’s independent compensation consultant and management, assesses risks related to our pay practices and incentive programs. The risk assessment is focused on identifying risks associated with our compensation programs and the mix of each type of compensation element we provide to our named executive officers and all employees, as well as the measures that the company may employ to mitigate those risks. The Committee believes that the following features of our compensation programs effectively mitigate excessive risk-taking that could harm our value or reward poor judgment by our named executive officers or other employees:



		Science Applications International Corporation
2020 Proxy Statement \| 40



COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


•	short-term incentive measures are balanced among different financial measures, with goals that are intended to be achievable upon realistic levels of performance;


•	significant weighting towards long-term incentive compensation promotes long-term decision making and discourages short-term risk-taking;


•	goals are based on company performance measures, which mitigates excessive risk-taking within any particular business operation;


•	maximum payouts are capped at levels that do not reward excessive risk-taking;


•	our compensation recoupment policy allows us to recover compensation based on financial results that are subsequently restated or if fraud or intentional misconduct is involved; and


•	our stock ownership guidelines encourage a long-term perspective.

Equity Award Grant Practices

The Committee is responsible for the administration of our equity incentive plans. Generally, in advance of each fiscal year, the Committee will select predetermined dates on which equity awards will be granted to our employees, including our named executive officers, during the following fiscal year. These grant dates are selected to occur after the dates we anticipate releasing our annual or quarterly financial results. We generally grant equity incentive awards to our directors, executive officers and all other eligible employees on an annual basis shortly after we announce our financial results for the recently completed fiscal year. In addition to these annual grants, the Committee predetermines four quarterly dates on which any additional equity incentive awards may be made to eligible named executive officers or other employees in connection with an offer of employment, for retention purposes or to recognize performance. The Committee approves all equity awards made to our named executive officers.

The exercise price of any option grant is determined by reference to the fair market value of the shares on the grant date, which our Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan defines as the closing sales price of our common stock shares on the NYSE on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date.

Stock Ownership Guidelines and Stock Holding Requirements

We encourage our employees to own our stock so that they are motivated to maximize our long-term performance and stock value. We have adopted stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers that require them to accumulate and maintain stockholdings calculated as a multiple of their base salary, depending on their role. The Chief Executive Officer is required to accumulate and hold shares with a value of five times her base salary and other named executive officers are required to accumulate and hold shares with a value of three times their respective base salaries.

In addition to stock ownership guidelines, we also maintain a stock holding requirements policy, which mandates that officers must hold 100% of the net shares acquired under our equity incentive programs until the applicable multiple of base salary is achieved. Ms. Keene, Mr. Moraco, Mr. Scanlon, and Ms. Wheeler satisfied their ownership goals. Mr. Mathis, Mr. Mahon, and Mr. Genter are making adequate progress toward achievement of their respective ownership goals.

Prohibition on Hedging or Pledging Company Stock or Purchasing “On Margin”

We have established policies that prohibit all executive officers, directors and employees from engaging in any short selling and hedging transactions in our securities that may carry a greater risk of liability for insider trading violations and also create an appearance of impropriety. For example, with respect to our securities, our executive officers, directors and employees are not permitted to engage in any short sales or any trading in puts, calls or other derivatives on an exchange or other organized market. In addition, we prohibit our executive officers, directors and employees from pledging company stock as collateral for a loan or purchasing company stock “on margin.” Further, our executive officers, directors and employees are required to obtain pre-clearance from our General Counsel for all transactions in our securities.

“Clawback” or Compensation Recoupment Policy

Under our “clawback” or compensation recoupment policy, the Committee may require executive officers and other employees who receive incentive compensation to return cash and equity incentives if there is a material restatement of the financial results upon which the incentive compensation was originally based. If the Committee determines that recovery is appropriate, we will seek repayment of the difference between the incentive compensation paid and the incentive compensation that would have been paid, if any, based on the restated financial results.

The policy also provides for recovery of cash and equity incentive compensation from any employee involved in fraud or intentional misconduct, whether or not it results in a restatement of our financial results. In that situation, the Committee would exercise its business judgment to determine what action it believes is appropriate under the circumstances.



41 \| saic.com



COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

We may seek to recover the applicable amount of compensation from incentive compensation paid or awarded after the adoption of the policy, from future payments of incentive compensation, cancellation of outstanding equity awards and reduction in or cancellation of future equity awards. In cases of fraud or misconduct, we may also seek recovery from incentive compensation paid or awarded prior to the adoption of the policy.

Post-Employment Benefits

We do not maintain a defined benefit or other supplemental retirement plan that would entitle our executive officers to receive company-funded payments if they leave the company.

Upon certain terminations of employment, including death, disability, retirement or a change in control, our employees, including our named executive officers, may be eligible for continued vesting of equity awards on the normal schedule or accelerated vesting in full or on a pro rata basis, depending on the nature of the event and the type of the award. The purpose of these provisions is to protect previously earned or granted awards by making them available following the specified event. Because these termination provisions are contained in our standard award agreements for all recipients and relate to previously granted or earned awards, we do not consider these potential termination benefits as a separate item in compensation decisions for our named executive officers. Our long-term incentive plans do not provide for additional benefits or tax gross-ups. For more information about potential post-employment benefits, see “Executive Compensation—Potential Payments upon Termination or a Change in Control” in this Proxy Statement.

Executive Severance and Change in Control Policy

We maintain an executive severance and change in control policy which specifies the compensation and benefits payable in connection with certain termination events for our executive officers in both change in control and non-change in control events as further described in this Proxy Statement under “Executive Compensation—Potential Payments upon Termination or a Change in Control.” We believe that this policy provides an important benefit to us by helping alleviate any concern the executive officers might have during a potential change in control of our company and permitting them to focus their attention on our business. In addition, we believe that this policy is an important recruiting and retention tool, as many of the companies with which we compete for talent have similar arrangements in place for their senior management.

There are no excise tax gross-up provisions authorized by the policy. This policy renews for successive one-year terms each year, unless the company provides notice to the eligible executive officers of either amendments to the policy or termination of the policy or has provided notice to an individual eligible executive officer that he or she is no longer eligible for the policy no later than October 1 of the term year. This annual term permits the Committee to regularly review the amount of benefits that would be provided to our executive officers in connection with certain termination events and to consider whether to continue providing those benefits.

Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally limits the deductibility of certain compensation in excess of $1 million paid in any one year to certain covered officers. Previously, qualified performance-based compensation was not subject to this deduction limit, if certain requirements were met.

The exemption from the Section 162(m) deduction limit for performance-based compensation was repealed, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, such that compensation paid to any “covered employee” in excess of $1 million is not deductible, unless it qualifies for transition relief applicable to certain arrangements in place as of November 2, 2017. A “covered employee” under Section 162(m) is any employee who has served as our CEO, CFO or other named executive officers for tax years after December 31, 2016. The rules and regulations promulgated under Section 162(m) are complicated and the transition relief under the legislation repealing Section 162(m)’s performance-based exemption from the deduction limit is complex. As such, there can be no guarantee that compensation intended to satisfy the requirements for tax deductibility in fact will.

Human Resources and Compensation Committee Report

The Human Resources and Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with our management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this Proxy Statement. Based upon this review and discussion, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

These columns reflect the grant date fair value computed in accordance with stock-based compensation accounting rules (FASB ASC Topic 718). The awards shown in the “Stock awards” column in the above table include RSUs and PSAs. Values for those PSAs are computed based on the target number of shares.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

We provided benefits to our named executive officers during fiscal 2020 under the following nonqualified deferred compensation plans, which are summarized below:

The SAIC Key Executive Stock Deferral Plan was closed on December 31, 2014 and no further deferrals are allowed. Participant balances generally correspond to stock units of our common stock which may be held by a rabbi trust to fund benefits for participants. We make no contributions to participants’ accounts under the Key Executive Stock Deferral Plan. Distributions under the Key Executive Stock Deferral Plan are then made to participants in shares of common stock corresponding to the number of vested stock units held for the participant. Vested deferred balances under this plan will generally be paid upon retirement or separation from service.

The SAIC 401(k) Excess Deferral Plan ("Excess Plan") was closed on December 31, 2014 and no further deferrals are allowed. The investment options in the Excess Plan are similar to those in the SAIC Retirement Plan but do not include the SAIC Stock Fund. Vested deferred balances under this plan will generally be paid following retirement or separation from service.

The SAIC Deferred Compensation Plan became effective January 1, 2015 and is a pre-tax savings plan that allows eligible participants to defer up to 80% of their salary and cash bonus compensation as well as director retainer and meeting fees. Effective January 31, 2016, the SAIC Stock Fund was discontinued as an investment option in the Deferred Compensation Plan. Deferrals into the Deferred Compensation Plan are not included as eligible compensation for the calculation of the company match in the SAIC Retirement Plan. If there is a loss of company match in the SAIC Retirement Plan because of a deferral into the Deferred Compensation Plan, the company may, at its sole discretion, make up the difference in company matching contribution to the Deferred Compensation Plan. Participants may elect to have deferred balances paid on a specific date while they are still employed or upon retirement or separation of service.

The SAIC Management Stock Compensation Plan is a long-term incentive plan that prior to September 27, 2013 awarded tax-deferred bonuses in the form of restricted share units. Shares may be deposited to a rabbi trust to fund benefits for participants. Distributions under the Management Stock Compensation Plan are then made to participants in shares of common stock corresponding to the number of vested stock units held for the participant. Vested deferred balances under this plan will generally be paid upon retirement or separation from service. The Management Stock Compensation Plan was closed on September 27, 2013 and no further deferrals are allowed.

The following table sets forth information regarding deferrals under and aggregate earnings and withdrawals in fiscal 2020 through our nonqualified deferred compensation plans in which the named executive officers participated. There were no company matching contributions made to the named executive officers’ accounts under any of the plans in fiscal 2020.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Potential Payments upon Termination or a Change in Control

We have an Executive Severance and Change in Control Policy (“Severance Policy”) that applies to designated eligible officers, including all of our active named executive officers, which became effective as of August 1, 2019 and which provides certain benefits to the active named executive officers upon their termination of employment under the circumstances described below, including in connection with a change in control. In addition, our Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”) and the award agreements thereunder provide for accelerated vesting and exercisability of equity awards under the circumstances described below, including in connection with a change in control.

Severance Policy. Under the Severance Policy, if an active named executive officer is involuntarily terminated without cause or resigns for good reason within 180 days preceding or 12 months following a change in control, he or she will be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to two times (or three times in the case of our chief executive officer) the sum of (i) the executive officer’s then current annual base salary and (ii) the target annual incentive bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs. If the executive officer’s annual base salary was higher during the 180-day period prior to the change in control, that higher amount will be used to determine the amount of the lump sum cash payment to which the executive officer is entitled. The executive officer is also entitled to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to 24 months (or 36 months in the case of our chief executive officer) of the monthly COBRA premium for continued group medical coverage for the executive officer and his or her eligible dependents, and outplacement services for a period of 12 months and up to a maximum of $25,000.

Under the terms of the Severance Policy, if an active named executive officer is involuntarily terminated without cause or resigns for good reason other than during the period before or after a change in control as described above, he or she will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to 1.5 times (or two times in the case of our chief executive officer) the sum of (i) the executive officer’s then current annual base salary and (ii) the average of the most recent three actual annual cash bonuses (or the average of all of the actual annual cash bonuses paid if the executive officer has not been employed by us for at least three annual bonus cycles). The executive officer is also entitled to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to 18 months (or 24 months in the case of our chief executive officer) of the monthly COBRA premium for continued group medical coverage for the executive officer and his or her eligible dependents, and outplacement services for a period of 12 months and up to a maximum of $25,000.

The Severance Policy generally defines “cause” for termination as (i) conviction of fraud, embezzlement, theft or other felony, (ii) willful engagement in illegal conduct or gross misconduct, or (iii) failure to perform employment duties in a reasonably satisfactory manner after notice from the Company and a 30-day opportunity to cure the failure. A resignation is generally defined to be for “good reason” if it is due to (i) a material adverse change in authority, duties or responsibilities, (ii) a material reduction in base salary or target bonus, or (iii) a relocation of the individual’s principal place of employment of more than 50 miles, and the Company has failed to remedy the event or condition after receiving notice of the same. The Severance Policy defines a “change in control” in the same manner as the term is defined in our 2013 Plan, as described below.

Equity Awards. Under our 2013 Plan, the vesting of stock option and RSU awards will accelerate in full if the successor entity in a change in control does not assume or replace outstanding awards or, if such awards are assumed or replaced, the award recipient’s employment ends within 18 months after the change in control due to termination without cause or resignation for good reason. The award agreements for PSAs issued under our 2013 Plan provide that if a change in control occurs before the end of a performance period, the performance period will be terminated and an award recipient will be entitled to receive, immediately prior to the change in control, a number of shares equal to the number determined by the committee to have been earned for each fiscal year in the performance period completed before the change in control, plus a pro rata portion of the shares determined by the committee to have been earned during the year in which the change in control occurred.

The 2013 Plan generally defines a “change in control” as (i) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, (ii) a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but after which the Company’s pre-merger shareholders no longer own their Company shares, (iii) a sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets, or (iv) the acquisition, sale or transfer of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding shares by tender offer or similar transaction. “Cause” for termination is generally defined in the 2013 Plan as employment-related dishonesty, fraud or misconduct likely to cause significant injury to the Company or its personnel, and “good reason” is defined in a manner similar to that under the Severance Policy.

Other than in the context of a change in control, RSU awards and option awards will vest in full immediately if employment ends due to death or disability, and, under those circumstances, options will remain exercisable for a period of time, which under the 2013 Plan is until the expiration date of the option award. Our PSA agreements provide that if employment ends due to death, an award recipient’s estate will be entitled to promptly receive a number of shares determined in the same manner as if a change in control had occurred on the date of death. If employment ends due to disability, a pro rata portion (based on the portion of the performance period completed prior to the employment termination) of the performance shares determined to have been earned at the end of the three-year performance period will be paid out after the end of the performance period.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Under our retiree vesting program, employees who retire, including our named executive officers, may continue vesting in their stock option awards if they have held those options for at least 12 months prior to retirement and they retire (i) after age 59 1/2 with at least ten years of service or (ii) after age 59 1/2when age at termination plus years of service equals at least 70. Our executive officers who retire after reaching the applicable mandatory retirement age, however, will be allowed to continue to vest in their option awards without regard to the 12 month holding requirement. Under the same conditions, executive officers may continue vesting in their RSU awards, and may receive the same pro rata payout of PSAs as applies in the event of a termination due to disability. We have the right to terminate continued vesting if a retiree violates confidentiality, non-solicitation or similar obligations to us. None of our named executive officers was eligible for a benefit under our Retiree Vesting Program as of January 31, 2020, the last day of our most recent fiscal year.

In any other termination scenario involving an equity award recipient, including a named executive officer, all unvested RSUs, options and PSAs are forfeited. Under these circumstances, vested options remain exercisable for 90 days or until the option expiration date, if earlier.

Estimated Termination and Change in Control Payments and Benefits. The following table sets forth our estimates of the payments and benefits to be made to our named executive officers under various termination and change in control scenarios. In calculating the amounts set forth in the table, we have assumed that (i) the date of termination was January 31, 2020, the last business day of fiscal year 2020, (ii) the date of any related change in control was the same date, and (iii) the price of our common stock was $87.77 per share, the closing market price of our common stock on the NYSE on January 31, 2020. The table does not reflect payments and benefits that are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to salaried employees generally upon termination, nor does it reflect amounts attributable to equity-based awards that were already vested, or distributions of plan balances under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Because the employment of Mr. Moraco and Ms. Wheeler was terminated under circumstances not covered by the table, they have been omitted.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

(1)

The change in control consequences for PSAs are the same whether or not a qualifying termination (involuntary termination without cause or resignation for good reason) occurs in connection with the change in control. With respect to option and RSU awards, the 2013 Plan also provides for accelerated vesting and exercisability of the awards if the successor corporation does not assume or replace the awards in connection with the change in control.

(2)

In the case of a qualifying termination not in connection with a change in control, severance amounts represent a single lump sum payment equal to two times for Ms. Keene and 1.5 times for all other named executive officers the sum of (a) the named executive officer's fiscal 2020 base salary and (b) the average of the annual bonuses paid for fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2018. In the case of a qualifying termination in connection with a change in control, severance amounts represent a single lump sum payment equal to three times for Ms. Keene and two times for all other named executive officers of the sum of (a) the named executive officer's fiscal 2020 base salary and (b) his or her target annual bonus for fiscal 2020.

(3)

In the case of a qualifying termination not in connection with a change in control, these amounts represent a lump sum cash payment of COBRA benefits for 24 months for the Chief Executive Officer and 18 months for all other named executive officers. In the case of a qualifying termination in connection with a change in control, these amounts represent a lump sum cash payment of COBRA benefits for 36 months for Ms. Keene and 24 months for all other named executive officers. Ms. Keene and Mr. Mahon do not participate in the Company’s group medical coverage.


(4)	These amounts represent the maximum value to the named executive officer of outplacement counseling services to be provided for 12 months following a qualifying termination.

(5)

These amounts represent the value of unvested options to purchase shares of our common stock issued under the 2013 Plan that were held by the named executive officer at the end of fiscal 2020 and whose vesting was accelerated in connection with a change in control or termination due to death or disability. The value was calculated by multiplying the number of shares subject to the option whose vesting was accelerated by the difference between the closing market price per share of our common stock on the NYSE on January 31, 2020 and the applicable option exercise price. For more information regarding the number of shares underlying unvested options held by each of the named executive officers, see the table under the caption "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End."

(6)

These amounts represent the value of RSUs issued under the 2013 Plan that were held by the named executive officer at the end of fiscal 2020 and whose vesting was accelerated in connection with a change in control or termination due to death or disability. The value was calculated by multiplying the number of RSUs whose vesting was accelerated by the closing market price per share of our common stock on the NYSE on January 31, 2020, and includes accrued dividend equivalents as of January 31, 2020. For more information regarding the number of unvested RSUs held by each of the named executive officers, see the table under the caption "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End."

(7)

These amounts represent the value of shares underlying outstanding PSAs issued under the 2013 Plan that were held by the named executive officer at the end of fiscal 2020 and whose vesting was accelerated in connection with a change in control or termination due to death. The value was calculated by multiplying the number of performance shares whose vesting was accelerated by the closing market price per share of our common stock on the NYSE on January 31, 2020, and includes accrued dividend equivalents as of January 31, 2020. The number of performance shares whose vesting was accelerated was determined based on the sum of: (i) the actual number of shares earned by each named executive officer for the part of the award allocated to our annual operating cash flow performance goals for fiscal 2019 and 2020, and (ii) either (a) for the fiscal year 2019 grant, one-third of the shares allocated to the three-year cumulative adjusted EBITDA performance goal assuming results of approximately 84.9% of target, or (b) for the fiscal year 2020 grant, one-third of the shares allocated to the three-year cumulative adjusted EBITDA performance goal assuming results of approximately 84.5% of target, each for the portion of the performance period prior to the termination of employment. The number of actual shares earned by each named executive officer based on operating cash flow for fiscal 2019 was 67.5% of target for the fiscal 2019 award, and for fiscal 2020 was 120.6% and 122.3% of target for the respective awards. Note that PSAs from fiscal 2018 are not included in this table since they are deemed to be earned as of January 31, 2020.


(8)	This represents the amount by which cash severance payments would be reduced in accordance with our severance policy to avoid excise taxes which would otherwise be payable pursuant to Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(9)

In the event employment is terminated due to disability, a pro rata portion (based on the portion of the performance period completed prior to the employment termination) of the performance shares determined to have been earned at the end of the three-year performance period will be paid out after the end of the performance period. For PSAs addressed in this table, these determinations cannot be made until after the end of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022, respectively.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

CEO Pay Ratio

We are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual median total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Nazzic S. Keene, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) at the end of fiscal 2020. On July 31, 2019, Ms. Keene, the company’s then-serving Chief Operating Officer, succeeded Mr. Moraco as CEO of the company. The elements included in Ms. Keene’s total compensation for purposes of the CEO pay ratio described below include an annualized base salary as CEO and, therefore, the total compensation used in this ratio will not match that of the "Summary Compensation Table" of this Proxy Statement.

Due to the acquisition of Engility on January 14, 2019, there has been a change in our employee population that we reasonably believe would result in a significant change in our pay ratio disclosure. Therefore, we have re-identified the median employee for fiscal 2020 as follows:


•	As of December 31, 2019 (our “Determination Date”), we collected data for all employees globally and used base pay as our consistently applied compensation measure. We identified employees within a narrow range of the estimated median and then used statistical sampling to select the median employee from within that range.

We then determined our median employee’s total compensation, including any perquisites and other benefits, in the same manner that we determine the total compensation of our named executive officers for purposes of the "Summary Compensation Table" disclosed above. The median employee's total compensation in fiscal 2020 was comprised of base salary and additional overtime compensation.

Based on the above calculations, for fiscal 2020, our last completed fiscal year:


•	the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of our company (other than our CEO) was $93,568; and


•	the “annualized” total compensation of our CEO was $6,162,984.

Therefore, we reasonably estimate that the ratio of our CEO’s annual total compensation to the annual total compensation of our median employee for fiscal 2020 was 66:1. Our pay ratio estimate has been calculated in a manner consistent with item 401(u) of Regulation S-K.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of common stock present or represented and entitled to vote at the virtual annual meeting is required to approve the proposal. Abstentions have the effect of a vote against the proposal, and broker “non-votes” have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. Shares of common stock represented by properly executed, timely received and unrevoked proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated thereon. In the absence of specific instructions, properly executed, timely received and unrevoked proxies will be voted “FOR” the proposal.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 29, 2021.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules of the SEC require our directors and executive officers as well as persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock to file reports of their ownership and changes in ownership of common stock with the SEC. For our directors and executive officers, our personnel generally prepare and file these reports on the basis of information obtained from each director and officer and pursuant to a power of attorney. Due to an administrative oversight on the part of the company, an amended Form 3 for Mr. Scanlon was filed late during fiscal 2020 with respect to unintentionally omitted shares of common stock from Mr. Scanlon's original Form 3. Due to an administrative oversight on the part of the company, an amended Form 4 for each of Messrs. Bedingfield and Scanlon was filed during fiscal 2020 with respect to unintentionally omitted shares of common stock from each original Form 4. Based solely on the information provided to us, we believe that all other reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be filed by our directors, executive officers and greater than ten percent stockholders during fiscal 2020, were filed on time with the SEC.

Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations for the 2021 Annual Meeting

Stockholders who, in accordance with Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, wish to present proposals for inclusion in the proxy materials to be distributed in connection with next year’s annual meeting must submit their proposals so they are received by our Corporate Secretary no later than the close of business (5:00 p.m. ET) on December 24, 2020. As the rules of the SEC make clear, simply submitting a proposal does not guarantee that it will be included.

In order to be properly brought before the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2021 (the "2021 Annual Meeting"), a stockholder who desires to provide notice of nomination of one or more director candidates to be included in the company’s

OTHER INFORMATION

proxy statement and ballot pursuant to Section 3.17 of our bylaws (a “proxy access nomination”) must be received by our Corporate Secretary no earlier than November 23, 2020 and no later than the close of business on December 23, 2020 (not later than the close of business on the 120th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 150th day prior to the first anniversary of the date the definitive proxy statement was first released to stockholders in connection with the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders). If the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after that anniversary date, notice of the proxy access nomination by the stockholder to be timely must be received not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the 2021 Annual Meeting or the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which the notice of proxy access nomination is mailed or public announcement of the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting is first made by the company, whichever first occurs.

In addition, in order for a stockholder to propose any matter for consideration at the 2021 Annual Meeting other than by inclusion in the proxy statement, the stockholder must give timely notice to our Corporate Secretary of his or her intention to bring such business before the meeting. To be timely, notice must be delivered to the Corporate Secretary not later than the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. Therefore, in connection with the 2021 Annual Meeting, notice must be delivered to the Corporate Secretary between February 3, 2021 and March 5, 2021. In the event, however, that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by us, whichever occurs later.

Any stockholder’s notice must include additional information about the stockholder and the underlying beneficial owner, if any, required under our bylaws, as amended from time to time, and SEC rules and regulations, including the information that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of any proposed nomination of one or more director candidates. A stockholder’s notice must be updated, if necessary, so that the information submitted is true and correct as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting.

Annual Report on Form 10-K

We will provide without charge to any stockholder, upon written or oral request, a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2020 without exhibits. Requests should be directed to SAIC, 12010 Sunset Hills Road, Reston, Virginia 20190, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or by calling (703) 676-2064.

EBITDA is a performance measure that is calculated by taking net income and excluding interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measures that excludes restructuring and acquisition and integration costs that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Integration costs excluded are costs to integrate acquired companies and include the costs of strategic consulting services, facility consolidation and employee severance. The acquisition and integration costs relate to the company’s significant acquisitions of Engility in January 2019 and Unisys Federal in March 2020. We believe that these performance measures provide management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our ongoing operating performance and may provide greater visibility in understanding the long-term financial performance of the Company.
