Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 11, 2005, the Board of Directors of Anteon International Corporation (“Anteon”) approved the award by the Executive Compensation Committee of 1,000 restricted shares of Anteon’s common stock to each of certain non-employee members of its Board of Directors (“Directors”) pursuant to the Amended and Restated Anteon International Corporation Omnibus Stock Plan (the “Plan”). Awards granted to non-employee Directors who serve on the Executive Compensation Committee were made by the Board of Directors (excluding Directors serving on the Executive Compensation Committee). The Plan was previously disclosed in Anteon’s annual proxy to stockholders, filed on Form DEF 14 on April 15, 2003, and approved by stockholders at Anteon’s 2003 stockholders meeting.

The terms and conditions of each award that are material to Anteon are as follows:

(a)	Transferability Restrictions. The shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of until the award, or portion thereof, vests.
(b)	Vesting. Each award will vest as follows: 50% of the shares covered by the award will vest on May 25, 2006 and the remaining 50% of the shares covered by the award will vest on May 25, 2007, provided the Director is in service with Anteon as a director on each such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the award will fully vest upon the following events: (i) a change in control (as defined in the Plan), (ii) death or (iii) disability (as defined in the agreement), each while serving as a director of Anteon. The award will also fully vest upon the Director’s mandatory retirement (if applicable). If the Director’s service with Anteon ends for any other reason while the award, or portion thereof, remains unvested, the shares covered by the unvested portion of the award will be immediately forfeited.
(c)	Forfeiture Upon Detrimental Activity. If the Director engages in “detrimental activity” (as defined in the agreement) before the award vests, the agreement will terminate. If the Director engages in detrimental activity during the two year period after vesting of any portion of the award or one year after ceasing to serve as a director of Anteon, whichever is later, then the Director will forfeit any shares. If the Director has sold any of the shares, then the Director must pay an amount equal to the proceeds of such sale to Anteon.

A copy of the form of restricted stock agreement will be attached as an exhibit to Anteon’s next periodic report. The description of the agreement is qualified, in its entirety, by the terms of the underlying agreement and the Plan.
