SRX Sra International

SRA International, Inc. (NYSE: SRX), a leading provider of technology and strategic consulting services and solutions to government organizations and commercial clients, today announced the expiration of the 30-day “go-shop” period pursuant to the terms of the previously announced definitive merger agreement, entered into on March 31, 2011, between SRA International and affiliates of Providence Equity Partners.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, SRA and its subsidiaries and their respective representatives had the right to initiate, solicit and encourage any alternative acquisition proposals from third parties until 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on April 30, 2011. During the “go-shop” period, at the direction of the special committee of SRA’s board of directors, the financial advisor to the special committee contacted 50 parties, including 29 strategic parties and 21 financial sponsors, to solicit interest in a possible alternative transaction. Despite these solicitation efforts, SRA did not receive any alternative acquisition proposals during the “go-shop” period.

On April 1, 2011, SRA announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement under which SRA will be acquired by an affiliate of Providence Equity Partners in an all-cash transaction. Pursuant to terms of the agreement, SRA shareholders will receive $31.25 in cash for each share of common stock.

The transaction is subject to approval of a majority of the combined voting power of outstanding shares of SRA, as well as a majority of the outstanding shares of SRA Class A Common Stock (excluding shares beneficially owned by SRA Founder and Chairman Dr. Ernst Volgenau), and other customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The transaction is anticipated to close during the first quarter of the SRA 2012 fiscal year, which begins on July 1, 2011.
