On November 4, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors approved the separation of the Company's U.S. public sector business under a new name, CSRA Inc., as well as the declaration of a special cash distribution of $10.50 in the aggregate per CSC share (the “Special Dividend”). The separation will occur through a one-for-one pro rata distribution of all CSRA shares to CSC stockholders. The distribution of shares of common stock of CSRA is expected to occur on November 27, 2015, after the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and the payment of the Special Dividend is expected to occur on November 30, 2015.

In the distribution, CSC stockholders will receive one share of CSRA common stock for each share of CSC common stock held on November 18, 2015, the record date for the distribution. Following the distribution of CSRA shares, CSC and CSRA each will pay concurrent special cash dividends which, in the aggregate will total $10.50 per share. Of that $10.50 per share dividend, $2.25 will be paid by CSC and $8.25 will be paid by CSRA. Payment of each portion of the Special Dividend will be made to holders of CSC common stock on the record date who receive shares of CSRA common stock in the distribution.

Additionally, the combination with SRA remains on track for completion on November 30, 2015 subject to satisfaction of the conditions to the merger. In connection with the completion of the merger, the common stock of SRA will be automatically converted into the right to receive $390 million in cash and CSRA common stock constituting approximately 15.32 percent of CSRA’s outstanding common stock. No portion of the Special Dividend will be payable on CSRA shares issued in the SRA merger.
