INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

        At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders of the Company are being asked to consider and vote upon:

1.

the election of six Class II Directors, each for a term of three years;



2.

the approval of the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan;



3.

a stockholder proposal regarding the Company's classified Board; and



4.

such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournments, postponements or continuations thereof.

When and where will the Annual Meeting be held?

Who can attend the Annual Meeting?

        All stockholders or their duly appointed proxies may attend the meeting.

INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING RIGHTS AND SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

        Only stockholders of record of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class A common stock"), and/or Class B common stock, par value $.05 per share (the "Class B common stock"), as of the close of business on May 19, 2004 (the "Record Date"), are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, the Company had 182,909,109 shares of Class A common stock and 222,451 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. The Company has no other class of capital stock outstanding. The Class A common stock and the Class B common stock are collectively referred to herein as the "Common Stock" and vote together as a single class on all matters.

What constitutes a quorum?

        The presence at the meeting, either in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the total voting power of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date is necessary to constitute a quorum and to conduct business at the Annual Meeting. Although abstentions may be specified on all proposals (other than the election of Directors), abstentions will only be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

How many votes am I entitled to?

        Each holder of Class A common stock will be entitled to one vote per share and each holder of Class B common stock will be entitled to 20 votes per share, in person or by proxy, for each share of Common Stock held in such stockholder's name as of the Record Date on any matter submitted to a vote of stockholders at the Annual Meeting. However, in the election of Directors, all shares are entitled to be voted cumulatively. Accordingly, in voting for Directors: (i) each share of Class A common stock is entitled to as many votes as there are Directors to be elected, (ii) each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 20 times as many votes as there are Directors to be elected and (iii) each stockholder may cast all of such votes for a single nominee or distribute them among any two or more nominees as such stockholder chooses. To apportion your votes among two or more nominees other than on a pro rata basis, you must submit your proxy using a proxy card or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. You may not submit your proxy over the Internet or by telephone if you wish to distribute your votes unevenly among two or more nominees. Unless otherwise directed, shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted at the discretion of the proxy holders so as to elect the maximum number of the Board of Directors' nominees that may be elected by cumulative voting.

How do I vote my shares?

        Shares of Common Stock represented by properly executed proxies received in time for voting at the Annual Meeting will, unless such proxies have previously been revoked, be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated thereon. In the absence of specific instructions, the shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted FOR the election of Directors so as to elect the maximum number of the Board of Directors' nominees that may be elected by cumulative voting, FOR the approval of the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and AGAINST the stockholder proposal regarding the Company's classified Board. No business other than that set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting is expected to come before the Annual Meeting; however, should any other matter requiring a vote of stockholders properly come before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the proxy holders to vote such shares in accordance with their best judgment on such matter.

2

        There are four different ways to vote your shares:

        Vote by Internet:    You may submit a proxy or voting instructions by the Internet by following the instructions at www.proxyvote.com.

        Vote by Telephone:    You may submit a proxy or voting instructions by calling 1-800-690-6903 and following the instructions.

        Vote by Mail:    If you received your proxy materials via the U.S. mail, you may complete, sign and return the accompanying proxy and voting instruction card.

        Vote in Person:    If you are a stockholder as of the record date and attend the meeting, you may vote in person at the meeting.

        Submitting a proxy will not prevent a stockholder from attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the exercise thereof by delivering in a timely manner a written revocation or a new proxy bearing a later date to the Secretary of the Company as described below, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. The mailing address of the Corporate Secretary is 10260 Campus Point Drive, San Diego, California 92121. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, however, in and of itself constitute a revocation of a proxy.

How are the shares held by the Retirement Plans voted?

        Each participant in the Employee Stock Retirement Plan ("ESRP"), 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan ("401(k) Profit Sharing Plan") of the Company, the Telcordia Technologies 401(k) Savings Plan of Telcordia Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Telcordia Plan"), and the AMSEC Employees 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan of AMSEC LLC, a joint venture in which the Company owns 55% (the "AMSEC Plan") (collectively, the "Retirement Plans") has the right to instruct Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (the "Trustee"), as trustee of the Retirement Plans, on a confidential basis how to vote his or her proportionate interests in all allocated shares of Common Stock held in the Retirement Plans. The Trustee will vote all allocated shares held in the Retirement Plans as to which no voting instructions are received, together with all unallocated shares held in the Retirement Plans, in the same proportion, on a plan-by-plan basis, as the allocated shares for which voting instructions have been received. The Trustee's duties with respect to voting the Common Stock in the Retirement Plans 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 Trustee override the votes of participants with respect to the Common Stock held by the Trustee and to determine, in the Trustee's best judgment, how to vote the shares.

How are the shares held by the Stock Plans voted?

        Under the terms of the Company's Stock Compensation Plan, Management Stock Compensation Plan and Key Executive Stock Deferral Plan (collectively, the "Stock Plans"), Wachovia Bank, N.A. ("Wachovia"), as trustee of the Stock Plans, has the power to vote the shares of Class A common stock held by Wachovia in the Stock Plans. Wachovia will vote all such shares of Class A common stock in the same proportion that the other stockholders of the Company vote their shares of Common Stock.

Who is soliciting these proxies?

        The Company is soliciting these proxies and the cost of the solicitation will be borne by the Company, including the charges and expenses of persons holding shares in their name as nominee for forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of such shares. In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited by officers, Directors and employees of the Company in person, by telephone

3

or by email. Such 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.

PROPOSAL I—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

        The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides for a "classified" Board of Directors consisting of three classes which shall be as equal in number as possible. The number of authorized Directors is currently fixed at 20 Directors, with six Directors in Class I and Class III and eight Directors in Class II. D.P. Andrews and J.P. Walkush were reclassified as Class II Directors to cause the Directors in each class to be as equal in number as possible after the annual election of Directors.

        At the Annual Meeting, six Class II Directors are to be elected to serve three-year terms ending in 2007 or until their successors are elected and qualified or their earlier retirement, death, resignation or removal or disqualification from service as a Director pursuant to any current or future provision of the Bylaws. Currently, D.P. Andrews, J.R. Beyster, K.C. Dahlberg, M.J. Desch, M.E. Trout, J.P. Walkush, J.H. Warner, Jr. and A.T. Young serve as Class II Directors. All such Class II Directors will be standing for reelection, other than J.R. Beyster and M.E. Trout who are retiring from the Board at the end of their terms after 35 and 9 years of service, respectively. As a result, effective as of July 16, 2004, the Board of Directors reduced the number of authorized directors to 18. The six nominees who receive the most votes will be elected as Class II Directors. It is intended that, unless otherwise indicated, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote FOR the election of Directors so as to elect the maximum number of the Board of Directors' nominees that may be elected by cumulative voting. Each nominee has consented to be named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected. To the best knowledge of the Board of Directors, all of the nominees are, and will be, able and willing to serve. In the event that any of the six nominees listed below should become unable to stand for election at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders intend to vote for such other person, if any, as may be designated by the Board of Directors, in the place and stead of any nominee unable to serve. Alternatively, the Board of Directors may elect, pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Company's Bylaws, to fix the authorized number of Directors at a lower number so as to give the Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors additional time to evaluate candidates.

        The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR each nominee.    Set forth below is a brief biography of each nominee for election as a Class II Director and of all other members of the Board of Directors who will continue in office:

PROPOSAL II—APPROVAL OF THE 2004 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

General

        The Company currently maintains the 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2001 Stock Purchase Plan") which provides for the purchase of Class A Common Stock by participating employees through voluntary payroll deductions. The 2001 Stock Purchase Plan expires by its terms on July 31, 2004. On April 16, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, subject to stockholder approval, the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2004 Stock Purchase Plan"), which will enable employees to continue to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock through payroll deductions for a three-year period. The maximum number of shares that may be purchased under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan, if approved by the stockholders, is limited to the sum of the following (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances): (i) 6,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) the

7

number of shares of Class A Common Stock that remain available for issuance under the 2001 Stock Purchase Plan as of the effective date of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan, expected to be approximately 4,500,000 shares, following which date no further shares will be offered under the 2001 Stock Purchase Plan.

        The following summary of the terms and provisions of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan, a copy of which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex I and incorporated herein by reference. All capitalized or quoted terms have the meanings ascribed to them in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan unless otherwise defined herein.

Eligibility

        Generally, all of the Company's employees will be eligible to participate in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan, except for employees of subsidiaries which have not been designated as eligible for participation. The Company's Employee Stock Purchase Committee (the "Stock Purchase Committee") may also impose eligibility requirements consistent with Section 423(b) of the Code. No employee, however, who owns capital stock of the Company having more than 5% of the voting power or value of such capital stock will be able to participate. An employee's eligibility to participate in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan will terminate immediately upon the termination of his or her employment with the Company, upon a change in employment status to a leave of absence or upon transfer to an ineligible subsidiary. As of April 30, 2004, there were approximately 37,200 employees who would have been eligible to participate in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan.

        In addition, the Stock Purchase Committee has the authority to allow employees of any designated subsidiary as well as an entity in which the Company has an equity ownership interest of less than 50% to participate in a non-Code Section 423 component of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan. The Stock Purchase Committee has the power and authority to modify the eligibility for and terms and conditions of participation in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan by such employees. Shares purchased by employees of such entities will not be eligible for the favorable tax treatment under Section 423 of the Code.

        Employees will be able to enroll in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan by completing a payroll deduction authorization form and providing it to the designated officials of the Company. The minimum and maximum payroll deduction percentage will be determined by the Committee. Currently, the minimum payroll deduction allowed is 1% of compensation and the maximum allowable deduction is 10% of compensation unless and until a different maximum percentage is established by the Stock Purchase Committee. No employee is entitled to purchase an amount of Class A Common Stock having a fair market value (measured as of its purchase date) in excess of $25,000 in any calendar year pursuant to the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan and any other employee stock purchase plan which may be adopted by the Company.

Purchase of Shares

        Shares of Class A Common Stock purchased under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan may be acquired in the Company's Limited Market or purchased from the Company out of its authorized but unissued shares. At each of four predetermined purchase dates during the year, the agent under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan (the "Agent") will purchase for the account of each participant in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan the whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock which may be acquired with the funds available in the participant's account, together with the Company's contribution described below.

        The Company will contribute a certain percent of the cost of each share of Class A Common Stock purchased under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan. The percent to be contributed by the Company (the "Company Percent") will be determined by the Stock Purchase Committee and will be between zero percent (0%) and fifteen percent (15%). The Company Percent will be fifteen percent (15%) unless and until changed by the Stock Purchase Committee. On each purchase date, the Company will

8

pay the Company Percent of the cost of each share purchased by the Agent whether purchased in the Limited Market or as a newly issued share.

        The purchase price to be paid for the shares of Class A Common Stock acquired for the account of participants will be the Formula Price in effect as of the date of purchase. As of April 30, 2004, the Formula Price for the Class A Common Stock was $37.34 per share.

Plan Benefits

        The amount of benefits to be provided to employees pursuant to the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan will depend upon such employee's level of participation, the Company's stock price performance and the Company Percent. Therefore, the benefits and amount of awards that will be received by each of the Named Executive Officers, the executive officers as a group and all other employees as a group under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan are not presently determinable.

Distribution and Voting Rights

        Participants shall have the right to vote the shares of Class A Common Stock purchased under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan. Shares of Class A Common Stock acquired under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan will be distributed to each participant prior to any record date established by the Company for any vote of its stockholders and in the interim will be held by the Agent for the account of such participant.

Restrictions on Shares Purchased

        Pursuant to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, all shares of Class A Common Stock purchased pursuant to the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan will be subject to the Company's right of repurchase upon the participant's termination of employment or affiliation with the Company at the then prevailing Formula Price. All such shares will also be subject to the Company's right of first refusal in the event that the participant desires to sell such shares other than in the Company's Limited Market.

Withdrawals

        Participants may withdraw from the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan, terminate their election to purchase shares and obtain repayment of the balance of any monies held in their accounts at any time prior to the acquisition of shares of Class A Common Stock therewith. No interest will be paid on the money held in the accounts of the participants, unless required by applicable law.

Amendment and Termination

        The Board of Directors of the Company may suspend or amend the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan in any respect, except that no amendment may, without the approval of a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company present or represented and entitled to vote at a duly constituted meeting of the stockholders, (i) increase the maximum number of shares authorized to be issued by the Company under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan or (ii) deny to participating employees the right at any time to withdraw from the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan and thereupon obtain all amounts then due to their credit in their accounts.

        The 2004 Stock Purchase Plan will terminate on July 31, 2007, unless earlier terminated by the Board of Directors.

9

Administration

        The 2004 Stock Purchase Plan will be administered by the Stock Purchase Committee, whose members are appointed by the Company's Board of Directors to serve at the discretion of the Board. Members of the Stock Purchase Committee will not receive any compensation from the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan or the Company for services rendered in connection therewith.

Agent

        The Company or its designee will be the Agent of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

        For federal income tax purposes, no taxable income will be recognized by a participant in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan until the taxable year of sale or other disposition of the shares of Class A Common Stock acquired under the part of the plan which qualifies under Code Section 423. When the shares are disposed of by a participant two years or more from the date such shares were purchased for the participant's account by the Agent, the participant must recognize ordinary income for the taxable year of disposition to the extent of the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the purchase date over the amount of the purchase price paid by the participant (the "Discount") or (ii) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at disposition or death over the purchase price. In the event of a participant's death while owning shares acquired under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan, ordinary income must be recognized in the year of death in the amount specified in the foregoing sentence. When the shares are disposed of prior to the expiration of the two-year holding period specified above (a "disqualifying disposition"), the participant must recognize ordinary income in the amount of the Discount, even if the disposition is by gift or is at a loss. Additional gain, if any, will be short-term or long-term capital gain depending on whether the holding period is more than 12 months or 12 months or less.

        In the cases discussed above (other than death), the amount of ordinary income recognized by a participant is added to the purchase price paid by the participant and this amount becomes the tax basis for determining the amount of the capital gain or loss from the disposition of the shares, assuming that the shares are a capital asset in the hands of the participant.

        Net capital gains from the disposition of capital stock held more than 12 months are currently taxed at a maximum federal income tax rate of 15% and net capital gains from the disposition of stock held not more than 12 months is taxed as ordinary income (maximum rate of 35%). However, limitations on itemized deductions and the phase-out of personal exemptions may result in effective marginal tax rates higher than 15% for net capital gains and 35% for ordinary income.

        The Company will not be entitled to a deduction at any time for the shares issued pursuant to the part of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan which qualifies under Code Section 423 if a participant holding such shares continues to hold his or her shares or disposes of his or her shares after the required two-year holding period or dies while holding such shares. If, however, a participant disposes of such shares prior to the expiration of the two-year holding period, the Company is allowed a deduction to the extent of the amount of ordinary income includable in gross income by such participant for the taxable year as a result of the premature disposition of the shares, subject to the deduction limitation of Code Section 162(m).

        A participant purchasing shares under the non-Code Section 423 component of the Plan will be taxed at ordinary income rates on the Discount at the time of purchase, and the Company will be entitled to a deduction of the same amount.

10

Section 162(m)

        Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a federal income tax deduction to any publicly held corporation for compensation paid in excess of $1 million in any taxable year to the chief executive officer or any of the other four most highly compensated executive officers who are employed by the corporation on the last day of the taxable year. Compensation equal to the Discount recognized by the participant on the disqualifying disposition of shares purchased under the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan less than one year after the purchase of such shares will not qualify for any exception to Code Section 162(m).

Scope of Discussion

        The foregoing discussion is intended only as a summary of certain relevant federal income tax consequences and does not purport to be a complete discussion of all of the tax consequences of participation in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan. Accordingly, participants should consult their own tax advisors with respect to all federal, foreign, state and local tax effects of participation in the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan. Moreover, the Company does not represent that the foregoing tax consequences will apply to any participant's specific circumstances or will continue to apply in the future and makes no undertaking to maintain the tax-qualified status of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Vote Required

        The Board of Directors believes that approval of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders because it provides a means for employees to acquire or increase their stock ownership, thereby aligning their financial interest with the Company's. The Board of Directors has approved the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan and recommends that stockholders vote FOR the approval and adoption of the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan.

        The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to approve the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan. A stockholder who signs and submits a ballot or proxy is "present," so an abstention will have the same effect as a vote against those proposals. If the 2004 Stock Purchase Plan is not approved by the Company's stockholders, it will not be implemented.

PROPOSAL III—STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING THE COMPANY'S CLASSIFIED BOARD

        This proposal was submitted by Christopher A. Smith, 3440 Hamlin Road, Lafayette, California 94549. As of April 30, 2004, Mr. Smith beneficially owned 28,935 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock.

        Resolved:    That SAIC stockholders recommend that the Board of Directors take the necessary steps, in compliance with state law, to declassify the Board for the purpose of director elections and to implement annual director elections. The Board's declassification shall be completed in a manner that does not affect the unexpired terms of directors previously elected.

Stockholder's Supporting Statement

        The Board of Directors is currently separated into three classes. Each year stockholders are requested to vote on directors comprising one of the classes for a three-year term. Because of the classified (or "staggered") board structure, stockholders have the opportunity to vote only on roughly one-third of the directors each year.

        Election of corporate directors is a primary avenue for stockholders to influence corporate affairs and exert accountability on management. The proponent is of the opinion that the current classified

11

board structure without annual elections reduces the accountability of directors to stockholders. The proponent urges you mark your proxy FOR this resolution.

Board of Directors' Statement in Opposition to the Stockholder Proposal

The Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal for the reasons set forth below.

        The Board of Directors has carefully considered the arguments for and against a classified board. The Board of Directors has concluded that continuing SAIC's classified board is in the best interests of our stockholders and opposes the proposal to change it for the following reasons:

•

Continuity and Stability. The Company's employee ownership philosophy and structure is unique and significantly different from other public companies. The classified board structure allows for a majority of directors to have the benefit of experience with our employee ownership, stock pricing and other policies and values that we believe differentiate the Company from most of its competitors. Further, the Company has recently completed a succession plan in which the Board of Directors selected a new Chief Executive Officer to succeed our founder after 35 years of his leadership. Continuity on the board, particularly during times of transition, is viewed by the Board of Directors as being beneficial to the Company's stockholders.



•

Long-Term Focus. The Board of Directors is the governing body that has oversight responsibilities for the Company's strategic, long-term planning. The Board of Directors believes that a classified board with staggered, three-year terms for directors promotes a longer-term focus and better facilitates the Company's long-term planning process.



•

Value Protection. For many companies, a classified board is viewed as one of the primary means to protect the company against the abuses that can result from a hostile takeover attempt. Although a classified board would not prevent an unsolicited takeover from being consummated, it could give the Board additional time to consider alternative proposals and act in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board of Directors believes that the continuation of our classified board structure would help protect against hostile takeover attempts not deemed to be in the best interests of stockholders.



•

Director Accountability. The Board of Directors believes that electing directors to three-year terms does not reduce their accountability to our stockholders. Directors have the same legal duties and responsibilities to the Company, regardless of the length of their term. Directors who are elected to three-year terms are not insulated from legal responsibility and are just as accountable to stockholders as those who are elected annually.



•

Director Recruitment and Retention. Three-year terms may be more attractive to highly qualified individuals who are likely to be in demand for other board positions. As a result, the Company's current three-year director term may make it easier for the Company to attract and retain highly qualified candidates who will provide valuable oversight of the Company, benefiting all stockholders.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Vote Required

        The Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST the stockholder proposal.    The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to approve 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. A stockholder who signs and submits a ballot or proxy is "present," so an abstention will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. In the absence of specific instructions, properly executed, timely received and unrevoked proxies will be voted AGAINST the stockholder proposal.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors Meetings and Committees

        During the year ended January 31, 2004 ("Fiscal 2004"), the Board of Directors held ten meetings. Average attendance at such meetings of the Board of Directors was 98%. During Fiscal 2004, all incumbent Directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the meetings of the Board of Directors and committees of the Board of Directors on which they served. In addition, all Directors other than M.E. Trout and A.T. Young attended the 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. It is the Company's policy that all Directors attend the Company's annual meetings.

        The Board of Directors has various standing committees, including an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, an Executive Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Audit Committee

        The functions of the Audit Committee are described below under the heading "Audit Committee Report." The Audit Committee's charter is attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex II. The Audit Committee held ten meetings during Fiscal 2004. The Audit Committee is comprised of five independent directors as defined by the current listing standards of the National Association of Securities Dealers. The Board of Directors has determined that J.A. Drummond, H.M.J. Kraemer, Jr. and C.B. Malone qualify as Audit Committee financial experts as defined by the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The current members of the Audit Committee are C.B.

The Compensation Committee held eight meetings during Fiscal 2004. The Compensation Committee consists of Directors who are "outside directors" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and "non-employee directors" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The current members of the Compensation Committee are A.T. Young (Chairperson), W.H. Demisch, J.A. Drummond, A.K. Jones, H.M.J. Kraemer, Jr., C.B. Malone, E.J. Sanderson, Jr., R. Snyderman and M.E. Trout.

Executive Committee

        The Executive Committee's charter provides that, to the extent permitted by Delaware law, it shall have and may exercise all powers and authorities of the Board of Directors with respect to the following: (i) taking action on behalf of the Board of Directors during intervals between regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Directors if it is impractical to delay action on a matter until the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors and (ii) overseeing and assisting in the formulation and implementation of human resource management, scientific research policies and financial matters. The Executive Committee held five meetings during Fiscal 2004. The current

13

members of the Executive Committee are K.C. Dahlberg (Chairperson), D.P. Andrews, J.R. Beyster, M.J. Desch, J.E. Glancy, S.D. Rockwood, M.E. Trout, J.H. Warner, Jr. and A.T. Young.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

        The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee's responsibilities include: (i) establishing a procedure for identifying nominees for election as Directors to the Board of Directors; (ii) reviewing and recommending to the Board of Directors criteria for membership on the Board; (iii) proposing nominees to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors as they occur; (iv) evaluating and recommending candidates for the position of Chief Executive Officer in the event a vacancy arises or is anticipated to arise; (v) consulting with the Chief Executive Officer with respect to the evaluation and performance of the Company's executive officers and members of management considered capable of becoming executive officers of the Company; and (vi) addressing matters of corporate governance not otherwise delegated to other committees of the Board. The Nominating Committee and the Governance Committee were combined to form the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at the October 10, 2003 Board of Directors meeting. A copy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee's charter is available at the Company's website at www.saic.com/corporategovernance/.

        The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (including meetings of the Nominating Committee and the Governance Committee before the combination) held two meetings during Fiscal 2004. The current members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are A.T. Young (Chairperson), J.R. Beyster, W.H. Demisch, W.A. Downing, J.A. Drummond, A.K. Jones, H.M.J. Kraemer, Jr., C.B. Malone, S.D. Rockwood, E.J. Sanderson, Jr., R. Snyderman and M.E. Trout. W.H. Demisch, J.A. Drummond, A.K. Jones, H.M.J. Kraemer, Jr., C.B. Malone, E.J. Sanderson, Jr., R. Snyderman, M.E. Trout and A.T. Young are independent directors as defined by the current listing standards of the National Association of Securities Dealers.

        The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers recommendations for director nominees from a wide variety of sources, including members of our Board, business contacts, community leaders, members of our management. To date, the Company has not utilized the services of any third parties to which it paid a fee to assist in identifying or evaluating candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also would consider any stockholder recommendation for director nominees that is properly received in accordance with our Bylaws as discussed below and applicable rules and regulation of the SEC.

        The Board believes that all of its directors should have the highest personal integrity and have a record of exceptional ability and judgment. Nominees for Director should possess the level of education, experience, sophistication and expertise required to perform the duties of a member of the Board of Directors of a public company of the Company's size and scope. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates all candidates on the basis of the above qualifications, the existing composition and mix of talent and expertise on the Board and other criteria that may vary from time to time. In evaluating a candidate, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider all available information concerning the candidate, may solicit the views of management and other members of the Board and may conduct interviews of proposed candidates.

        Any stockholder may nominate a person for election as a Director of the Company by complying with the procedure set forth in the Company's Bylaws. Pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Company's Bylaws, in order for a stockholder to nominate a person for election as a Director, such stockholder must give timely notice to the Secretary of the Company prior to the meeting at which Directors are to be elected. To be timely, notice must be received by the Secretary not less than 50 days nor more than 75 days prior to the meeting (or if fewer than 65 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the meeting date is given or made to stockholders, not later than the 15th day following the day on which the notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made). Such notice must contain certain information about the nominee, including his or her name, age, business and residence

14

addresses and principal occupation during the past five years, the class and number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such nominee and such other information as would be required to be included in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of the proposed nominee. The notice must also contain certain information about the stockholder proposing to nominate that person. Pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Company's Bylaws, the Company may also require any proposed nominee to furnish other information reasonably required by the Company to determine the proposed nominee's eligibility to serve as a Director.

Retirement Policies

        The recommended retirement age for an outside director, other than the former chief executive officer and founder of this Company, is 72 years of age. The recommended retirement age for an inside director, other than the former chief executive officer and founder of this Company, is 65 years of age.

        The mandatory retirement date for officers designated under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Section 16 Officers"), is the date of the first annual meeting of stockholders that occurs after the Section 16 Officer's 65^th birthday. However, any Section 16 Officer that was age 65 or older at the time the retirement policy was adopted in October 2003 will be allowed to serve as a Section 16 Officer for up to an additional three-year transition period.

*

Less than 1% of the total options granted to employees in Fiscal 2004.

(1)

All such options become exercisable one year after the date of grant and vest as to 20%, 20%, 20% and 40% on the first, second, third and fourth year anniversaries of the date of grant,

17

respectively. See "Continued Vesting on Vesting Stock and Options for Retirees" for rights to continued vesting after retirement for certain holders.

(2)

The potential realizable value is based on an assumption that the Formula Price of the Class A common stock will appreciate at the annual rate shown (compounded annually) from the date of grant until the end of the 5-year option term. These values are calculated based on the regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and should not be viewed in any way as an estimate or forecast of the future performance of the Class A common stock. There can be no assurance that (i) the values realized upon the exercise of the stock options will be at or near the potential realizable values listed in this table, (ii) the Class A common stock will in the future provide returns comparable to historical returns or (iii) the Formula Price will not decline.

(3)

Represents a sign-on bonus. See "Employment Agreements."

(4)

Although the listed grants of options were made during Fiscal 2004, such grants relate to the individual's service for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003.

Employment Agreements

        The Company and K. C. Dahlberg are parties to two letter agreements both of which are dated October 3, 2003 ("Dahlberg Letter Agreements") pursuant to which Mr. Dahlberg serves as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Dahlberg Letter Agreements provide that Mr. Dahlberg will receive (i) a base salary of $1,000,000 per year, (ii) a short-term performance bonus for Fiscal Year 2004 of $1,000,000 with the potential for up to $1,500,000 for extraordinary performance, which bonus will be payable in cash and fully vested SAIC Class A Common Stock, (iii) a cash sign-on bonus of $660,000, (iv) an award of 104,919 shares of SAIC's vesting Class A Common Stock, (v) an award of a vesting option to purchase up to 225,000 shares of SAIC Class A Common Stock, (vi) reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with the relocation of Mr. Dahlberg and his family to the Company's principal place of business and (vi) a gross up to Mr. Dahlberg's salary to cover the federal, state and local income and employment tax liability on the relocation benefits provided by the Company. The number of vesting shares actually issued to Mr. Dahlberg was reduced by mutual

18

agreement because of an adjustment to the benefits Mr. Dahlberg forfeited upon his resignation from his former employer. In addition, the Dahlberg Letter Agreements provide that Mr. Dahlberg's long-term bonus for Fiscal Year 2005 will be awarded in the form of a vesting option to purchase shares and that the number of option shares granted at target for Fiscal Year 2005 would be equal to $5,300,000 divided by the Formula Price in effect when the option is granted. The Dahlberg Letter Agreements provide that in the event Mr. Dahlberg's employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company during the first three years for reasons other than cause, the Company would continue Mr. Dahlberg's base salary, target short-term bonus and benefits for the balance of that period. In order to receive these severance benefits, Mr. Dahlberg would be required to sign a release and a non-compete/non-solicitation agreement. At the end of the period, Mr. Dahlberg would be provided with at least two years of non-paid consulting status. For purposes of the Dahlberg Letter Agreements, "cause" is defined as "(i) a willful failure to substantially perform your duties, (ii) gross misconduct or (iii) conviction of a felony."

        The Company and M.J. Desch are parties to two letter agreements both of which are dated June 13, 2002 ("Desch Letter Agreements") pursuant to which Mr. Desch serves as Chief Executive Officer of Telcordia Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company ("Telcordia"). The Desch Letter Agreements provide that Mr. Desch will receive (i) an initial base salary of $500,000 per year, (ii) a short-term performance bonus for Fiscal Year 2003 of $500,000 with the potential for up to $750,000 for extraordinary performance, which bonus will be payable in cash and fully vested SAIC Class A Common Stock, (iii) an award of 30,250 shares of SAIC's vesting Class A Common Stock, (iv) an award of a vesting option to purchase up to 100,000 shares of SAIC Class A Common Stock, (v) reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with the relocation of Mr. Desch and his family to Telcordia's principal place of business, (vi) a no interest "bridge loan" if needed, until Mr. Desch's former home is sold and (vii) a gross up to Mr. Desch's salary to cover the federal, state and local income and employment tax liability on the relocation benefits provided by Telcordia. The offer of a no interest bridge loan was later withdrawn based on mutual agreement. In addition, the Desch Letter Agreements provide that Mr. Desch's long-term bonus for Fiscal Year 2003 will be awarded in the form of a vesting option to purchase shares and that the number of option shares granted at target for Fiscal Year 2003 would be equal to $3,300,000 divided by the Formula Price in effect when the option is granted. The Desch Letter Agreements also provide Mr. Desch the opportunity to subscribe to purchase up to 10,000 shares of SAIC's Class A Common Stock in the Limited Market and, contingent upon such purchase, to receive one vesting option for every share purchased. The Desch Letter Agreements provide that in the event Mr. Desch's employment is terminated by Telcordia for reasons other than cause, Telcordia would pay to Mr. Desch 18 months of his base salary and his relocation benefits and provide Mr. Desch with two years of consulting status. In order to receive these severance benefits, Mr. Desch would be required to sign a release and a non-compete/non-solicitation agreement. For purposes of the Desch Letter Agreements, "cause" is defined as "(i) a willful failure to substantially perform your duties, (ii) gross misconduct or (iii) conviction of a felony."

Directors' Compensation

        All non-employee directors are paid an annual retainer of $25,000 or $35,000 if they chair a committee of the Board and also serve on another committee. Non-employee directors also receive $1,000 for each meeting of the Board of Directors or of the committees on which they serve and are reimbursed for expenses incurred while attending meetings or otherwise performing services for the Company. In addition, a stock bonus of approximately 1,000 shares of Class A common stock will be offered to non-employee director nominees as an inducement to join the Board. Because W.A. Downing is a consulting employee, Mr. Downing receives the annual retainer and meeting fees in addition to the compensation received as a consulting employee.

19

        Directors are eligible to receive stock options under the Company's 1999 Stock Incentive Plan. For services rendered as a Director during Fiscal 2004, W.H. Demisch, W.A. Downing, J.A. Drummond, A.K. Jones, H.M.J. Kraemer, Jr., C.B. Malone, E.J. Sanderson, Jr., R. Snyderman, M.E. Trout and A.T. Young each received options to purchase 12,000 shares of Class A common stock at $36.52 per share. All such options were granted at a price equal to the market value of the Class A common stock (as reflected by the Formula Price) on the date of grant, become exercisable one year after the date of grant and vest as to 20%, 20%, 20% and 40% on the first, second, third and fourth year anniversaries of the date of grant, respectively. See "Continued Vesting on Vesting Stock and Options for Retirees" for rights to continued vesting after retirement for certain holders.

        W.A. Downing, a Director of the Company, is a consulting employee of the Company and receives compensation at a fixed hourly rate. B.R. Inman, a former Director of the Company was an unscheduled professional employee of the Company until December 31, 2003. In Fiscal 2004, W.A. Downing and B.R. Inman received $387,813 and $132,715, respectively, of compensation pursuant to these arrangements, but neither was eligible for or received the benefits generally available to full-time employees of the Company. In addition, B.R. Inman received the use of an office and administrative support for his activities related to the Company as well as his personal business and charitable activities, which personal business and charitable use and support was valued at $996 for Fiscal 2004. J.A. Welch, a former Director of the Company, was an unscheduled professional employee of the Company until January 2004 when he changed his status to a consulting employee. In Fiscal, 2004, J.A. Welch received compensation of $88,425 plus the benefits generally available to all full-time employees of the Company.

        See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" for information with respect to transactions between the Company and certain entities in which certain Directors of the Company may be deemed to have an interest.

Continued Vesting on Vesting Stock and Options for Retirees

        The Compensation Committee of the Board recently approved changes which would allow certain retirees to continue holding and vesting in their vesting stock and stock options after retirement, if they have held such securities for at least 12 months prior to retirement. Retirement is defined as terminating service with the Company (i) after age 59¹/2 with at least ten years of service with the Company, (ii) when age at termination plus years of service with the Company equals at least 70 or (iii) after reaching the applicable mandatory retirement age regardless of their length of service with the Company for Section 16 Officers and Directors. The Company will have the right to terminate this continued vesting in certain circumstances. The Company will have the right to repurchase shares held by retirees after their options are exercised and/or their shares are fully vested. If a retiree is a participant in the Company's Alumni Program (a program which allows eligible retirees the ability to defer the repurchase of their shares for up to five years after termination), the Company will have the right to repurchase shares held by the retiree upon the termination of the retiree's participation in the Alumni Program. This policy change will be implemented for all unvested stock and options awarded after July 1, 2004. However, for Section 16 Officers and Directors retiring after reaching mandatory retirement age, this policy change will apply to all unvested stock and options held by them, regardless of when the vesting stock and options were awarded. See "Retirement Policies." The Compensation Committee of the Board will have oversight over the treatment of any unvested stock and options granted to retiring Section 16 Officers prior to this policy change.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

        Since its inception, the Company has been an employee-owned corporation based upon the philosophy that "those who contribute to the Company should own it, and ownership should be commensurate with that contribution and performance as much as feasible." The Company's compensation policies, plans and programs seek to implement this employee ownership philosophy by closely aligning the financial interest of the Company's employees, including executive officers, with the financial interest of its stockholders.

        As members of the Compensation Committee, it is our responsibility to approve the salaries paid to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and all executive officers named pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which includes the four other most highly paid executive officers of the Company ("Executive Officers"), and to recommend to the Stock Plans Committee of the Board of Directors the amount of grants to be made to the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Officers under the Company's Bonus Compensation Plan. These determinations are made in light of individual, corporate and business unit performance, the performance of our competitors and other similar businesses and relevant market compensation data. To assist the Compensation Committee in carrying out these responsibilities, Mellon Human Resources & Investor Solutions (formerly iQuantic Buck), an executive compensation consulting firm ("Mellon"), was retained by the Compensation Committee to review the compensation paid to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the four other highest paid executive officers of the Company during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 ("Fiscal 2004") and to provide a competitive assessment of the various components of such compensation.

        The compensation policy of the Company, which is endorsed by the Compensation Committee, is that a substantial portion of the total compensation of executive officers be related to and contingent upon their individual contribution and performance, the performance of business units under their management and the performance of the Company as a whole. In this way, the Company seeks to encourage continuing focus on increasing the Company's revenue, profitability and stockholder value, while at the same time motivating its executive officers to perform to the fullest extent of their abilities.

        The Company has continued to set the annual base salaries of its executive officers at competitive levels and continues to cause a significant portion of an executive officer's compensation to consist of annual and longer-term incentive compensation which are variable and closely tied to corporate, business unit and individual performance. For Fiscal 2004, more than half of the executive officers' total compensation was paid as incentive compensation. As a result, much of an executive officer's total compensation was "at risk" and dependent on performance during the prior fiscal year.

        An executive officer's incentive compensation may consist of cash, fully vested stock, vesting stock, options, stock units or a combination of these components. Generally, an annual bonus is given after the end of the fiscal year based on individual, corporate and business unit performance for such fiscal year and an executive officer's respective responsibilities, strategic and operational goals and levels of historic and anticipated performance. By awarding bonuses of vesting stock and vesting stock options, the Company seeks to encourage individuals to remain with the Company and continue to focus on the long-term technical and financial performance of the Company and on increasing stockholder value. Further, the exercise price of all stock options granted is equal to the stock price of the Class A common stock on the date of grant. Therefore, such options only have value to the extent that the stock price of the Company's Class A common stock increases during the term of the stock option.

        The Company's general philosophy is to encourage employees to have significant stockholdings in the Company so that they have sufficient economic incentive to maximize the Company's long-term performance and stock value. In 2003, the Company formalized this philosophy and adopted stock ownership guidelines for its officers, including the Chief Executive Officer and Named Executive

21

Officers. Under these guidelines, all officers are expected to acquire and maintain stockholdings in the Company in amounts expressed as a multiple of base salary. The guidelines provide for various window periods within which the stock ownership levels are to be achieved. These guidelines establish a clear link between stock ownership, long-term strategic thinking and compensation programs that are tied to corporate performance and the interests of the stockholders.

        In evaluating the performance and establishing the incentive compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Company's other executive officers, the Compensation Committee recognized that the Company exceeded the performance objectives in all four key performance objectives. During the past fiscal year, it continued to sustain and grow its revenue and profitability and also exceeded its planned objectives in the areas of cash flow and contract awards.

        Dr. Beyster served as Chief Executive Officer until November 2003 and continues to serve as the Chairman of the Board. During the past fiscal year, Dr. Beyster was paid a base salary of $990,000¹ which represented a 4.2% increase over his base salary for the prior year. Dr. Beyster was also paid a cash bonus of $1,000,000 for Fiscal 2004. Considering the Company's successful performance during the past fiscal year, the continued diversification of the Company's business base and the continued availability of Dr. Beyster's knowledge of the Company's business and industry, the Compensation Committee believes that Dr. Beyster's bonus was well warranted.

¹

The variance between this amount and Dr. Beyster's base salary reported in the Summary Compensation Table is attributable to payment for his unused comprehensive leave.

        Mr. Dahlberg joined the Company as Chief Executive Officer in November 2003 and receives an annual base salary of $1,000,000. Mellon has concluded that Mr. Dahlberg's base salary is competitive with the market median in its compensation survey database for chief executive officers for general industry, high technology, aerospace/defense and communications companies.

        As part of Mr. Dahlberg's negotiated employment offer, Mr. Dahlberg received a cash sign-on bonus of $660,000 and was awarded 84,545 shares of vesting Class A Common Stock having a value as of the grant date of $2,687,686 and a vesting option to purchase up to 225,000 shares of SAIC Class A Common Stock. In approving the terms of Mr. Dahlberg's employment offer, the Compensation Committee consulted with Mellon and considered the compensation packages available for comparable positions, the need to hire an executive with proven experience in the industry and proven strategic, financial and leadership skills. The Compensation Committee also considered the compensation and benefits Mr. Dahlberg forfeited upon his resignation from his former employer.

        In accordance with his employment offer, Mr. Dahlberg received a pro-rated bonus of $350,000 for Fiscal Year 2004. The Compensation Committee believes that Mr. Dahlberg's bonus was well warranted in light of the successful and smooth transition in leadership that occurred.

        Mellon has reviewed the compensation for each of the other four highest paid executive officers of the Company during its last fiscal year and has reported to the Compensation Committee that, based on industry survey data collected by Mellon, the compensation of these executive officers was within an acceptable range of competitive market levels for individuals with comparable duties and responsibilities.

        Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, generally limits the deductibility of certain compensation in excess of $1 million paid in any one year to the chief executive officer and the other four highest paid executive officers. In order to maintain maximum tax deductibility of executive compensation, the Company obtained stockholder approval of the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and the amendment and restatement of the 1984 Bonus Compensation Plan. The Compensation Committee will continue to monitor compensation programs in light of Section 162(m);

22

however, the Compensation Committee considers it important to retain the flexibility to design compensation programs that are in the best long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders.

        The Compensation Committee believes that the compensation policies, plans and programs the Company has implemented, and which the Compensation Committee endorses, have encouraged management's focus on the long-term financial performance of the Company and have contributed to achieving the Company's technical and financial success.

Stockholder approval of the Stock Compensation Plans was not required.

Summary of the Stock Compensation Plans

        The Stock Compensation Plans have been adopted to provide a long-term incentive to key employees by making deferred awards of shares of our Class A common stock. All officers and employees are eligible to receive awards under the Stock Compensation Plan. However only a select group of management and highly compensated senior employees are eligible to receive awards under the Management Stock Compensation Plan. We intend to limit participants of the Management Stock Compensation Plan to individuals that would permit the plan to be treated as a "top hat" plan under applicable Internal Revenue Service and Department of Labor Regulations.

        The awarding authority (appointed by our board of directors) designates those key employees who will receive an award and the number of share units to be awarded. The number of share units awarded represents an interest in a trust maintained by Wachovia Bank, N.A. as trustee under a trust agreement between the trustee and us. The trust is a special type of trust known as a "rabbi trust." In order to avoid current taxation of awards under the Stock Compensation Plans, the trust must permit our creditors to reach the assets of the trust in the event of our bankruptcy or insolvency. Each share unit generally corresponds to one share of Class A common stock, but the employee receiving an award of share units will not have an ownership interest in the shares of Class A common stock represented by the share units.

        The awarding authority will establish a vesting schedule of not more than seven years for each account in the trust. The accounts will generally vest at the rate of one-third at the end of each of the fifth, sixth and seventh year following the date of award. The death of a participant or a change in control of us will result in full vesting of an award. A participant will forfeit any unvested portions of the account if the participant's employment terminates for any reason other than death. We receive the benefit of forfeited amounts either by return of shares to us or use of the forfeitures to satisfy future awards under the Stock Compensation Plans.

        Vested account balances will be distributed at the earlier of the end of the seven-year vesting period or upon termination of employment. However, the participant may elect, within 90 days from the date of the award, to receive distribution of the account as it vests. In the case of the Management Stock Compensation Plan, the employee may defer distribution until termination of employment.

        Benefits will be distributed in the form of shares of Class A common stock unless a distribution in stock is impossible or would create an adverse impact on us. Any shares distributed will be subject to our right of first refusal and right of repurchase on termination of employment as set forth in our certificate of incorporation. In addition, with respect to the Management Compensation Plan, any shares distributed upon termination of employment will also be subject to the right of repurchase six months after distribution, as set forth in a Stock Restriction Agreement between the participant and us. Participants will be taxed on the value of any amounts distributed from the Stock Compensation Plans at the time of the distribution.

        The day-to-day administration of the Stock Compensation Plans is provided by the nonqualified plans committee appointed by our board of directors. We have the right to amend or terminate the Stock Compensation Plans at any time and for any reason.

The second component, which shall apply to employees of Subsidiaries which do not fall within the definition of "subsidiary corporation" in Section 424(f) of the Code or to which the Company determines not to include in the 423 Component, constitutes a plan ("non-423 Component") which provides for the purchase of shares which do not qualify for the favorable tax treatment under Sections 423(a) and 421(a) of the Code.

(b)

The Subsidiaries whose employees may participate in the non-423 Component of the Plan shall be designated from time to time by the Committee. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to modify the eligibility for, and terms and conditions of, participation in the Plan by employees of such Subsidiaries and to establish subplans, which need not qualify under Section 423 of the Code, modified Plan procedures and other terms and procedures to the extent such actions are deemed necessary or desirable by the Committee. Participation in the Plan by employees of such Subsidiaries and the offer and purchase of Common Stock by such employees shall not be considered part of, or pursuant to, a Code Section 423 plan.



(c)

An employee shall cease to be eligible to participate in the Plan (i) upon termination of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, whether by death, total disability, retirement or otherwise, (ii) upon a change in employment status to Leave of Absence pursuant to the terms of the Company's Administrative Policy No. B-11 "Unpaid Personal Leave of Absence," unless the participant is on Medical Leave (as hereinafter defined), or (iii) upon transfer to a Subsidiary of the Company which has not been designated by the Committee as eligible for participation.

6.     Participation in the Plan.

(a)

An eligible employee may enter the Plan at any time prior to its termination by completing a payroll deduction authorization form and delivering such form in the manner prescribed by the Committee. Alternatively, the Committee may prescribe or permit electronic enrollment procedures. The employee's payroll deduction authorization shall authorize regular payroll deductions from the employee's compensation.



(b)

The participating employee's payroll deduction authorization shall also designate the Company or the Company's designee to be Agent for participating employees with respect to all stock certificates for shares purchased under the Plan. All such stock certificates representing shares purchased for such participating employees shall be delivered to and held by the Agent. Prior to any record date established by the Company for any vote of its stockholders, the Agent shall distribute to each participant a stock certificate representing all shares purchased under the Plan and not yet distributed to the participant.

I-3

an early distribution based upon financial hardship shall be at the sole discretion of the Committee. As soon as practicable after the approval of an early distribution to an employee based upon financial hardship, the Agent shall distribute to the employee all cash credited to his or her stock purchase account and shall release all shares credited to his or her stock purchase account.

(d)

The Committee may, from time to time, also establish additional requirements for participation in the Plan, including, but not limited to, additional requirements necessary to comply with any broker-dealer or securities law requirements.

7.     Payroll Deductions.

(a)

Payroll deductions for employees shall be in an amount specified by the employee in his or her payroll deduction authorization, expressed as a whole percentage of the employee's compensation. The minimum and maximum payroll deduction percentage shall be established by the Committee and shall be not less than one percent (1%) nor more than ten percent (10%) of an employee's compensation until changed by the Committee. Compensation as used herein shall be as defined by the Committee; provided, however, it shall include the regular wages, salary or commissions paid to the employee. Payroll deductions shall be credited to the stock purchase account to be maintained for each participating employee.



(b)

A participating employee may at any time increase or decrease the amount of his or her payroll deduction (within the minimum and maximum limits provided for in Section 7(a) above) by delivering or providing a new payroll deduction authorization in the manner prescribed by the Committee. The change shall become effective as soon as practicable after delivery or provision of the payroll deduction authorization. A decrease in an employee's payroll deduction to 0% shall result in a termination of an employee's participation in the Plan pursuant to Section 12(a) below.

8.     Stock Purchase Accounts.

(a)

Amounts credited to a participating employee's stock purchase account may not be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in any way by a participating employee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and any attempt to do so shall be null and void and without effect.



(b)

No interest will be paid on the amounts credited to a participating employee's stock purchase account, unless required by applicable law.

9.     Purchase Price of Shares.

        Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, the purchase price of each share of Common Stock purchased under the Plan shall be the "Formula Price" in effect as of the date of purchase.

10.   Purchase of Shares.

(a)

Shares will be purchased by the Agent in the Limited Market or shares will be issued by the Company.



(b)

Stock purchases shall be made on predetermined purchase dates established by the Committee which may coincide with the dates that trades are conducted for the Limited Market by Bull, Inc. If on any purchase date an eligible participating employee has sufficient funds credited to his or her stock purchase account to pay the Participant Percent of the purchase price of one or more whole shares of Common Stock, the Agent shall then purchase such

I-4

number of shares at the applicable price per share. The employee's stock purchase account thereupon shall be charged with the Participant Percent of the purchase price of such shares. Only whole shares may be purchased. Any balance remaining in the participating employee's stock purchase account will remain in such stock purchase account and be treated as part of the accumulations for the succeeding purchase date.

(c)

With respect to both newly issued shares of Common Stock which are purchased for the account of participating employees under the Plan and shares so purchased on the Limited Market, a stock certificate will be issued in the name of the Agent and held by the Agent in accordance with Section 6 of the Plan. Notwithstanding that such stock certificates are held by the Agent for participating employees, each participant shall have all the rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to the shares purchased for the participating employee's account, subject to the provisions of Sections 6 and 10(d). Alternatively, the Committee may prescribe or authorize bookkeeping entry or electronic recording of share ownership.



(d)

Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan may not be sold, transferred, pledged as collateral or in any way encumbered for so long as the stock certificates are held by the Agent or a bookkeeping entry or electronic recording of share ownership is maintained with the Agent.

11.   Company Contributions.

        The Company shall contribute the Company Percent of the purchase price of each share of Common Stock purchased under the Plan.

No contribution shall be made by the Company into an employee's stock purchase account.

12.   Termination of Participation and Re-entry.

(a)

An employee may terminate participation in the Plan at any time by completing a payroll deduction authorization form and delivering such form in the manner prescribed by the Committee. Alternatively, the Committee may prescribe or permit electronic procedures for such changes. Such employee's participation in the Plan shall terminate as soon as practicable upon receipt of the payroll deduction authorization by the Company. An employee who terminates participation in the Plan pursuant to this Section 12(a) shall not be eligible to reenter the Plan until the first business day of the following Plan Year.



(b)

In the event that a participating employee ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan as described in Section 5(c) or terminates participation in the Plan or the Plan terminates or is terminated without the adoption by the Company of a comparable employee stock purchase plan, any cash credited to such employee's stock purchase account will be distributed to the participating employee, or in the event of the death of the participating employee, to his or her estate. Any shares held by the Agent for an employee whose employment with the Company or a Subsidiary thereof is terminated will be released by the Agent to the employee for repurchase by the Company pursuant to the provisions of Article Fourth of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation or pursuant to the provisions of any applicable agreement.



(c)

In the event the Plan terminates or is terminated but a comparable employee stock purchase plan is adopted by the Company, any cash credited to such employee's stock purchase account will be transferred to such new plan for the benefit of the employee unless such employee provides a written notice prior to such transfer of funds.

16.   Withholding.

        The Company shall be entitled to make appropriate arrangements to comply with any withholding requirements imposed by federal, state, foreign or local law with respect to the purchase or disposition of shares of Common Stock under the Plan, including, without limitation, payroll withholding or withholding from proceeds of a disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.

18.   Amendment of the Plan.

ANNEX II

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

Statement of Purpose

        The purpose of the Audit Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Science Applications International Corporation ("SAIC" or the "Corporation") is to assist the Board in providing oversight of: (i) the integrity of the Corporation's financial statements, including the financial reporting process, system of internal control and audit process; (ii) compliance by the Corporation with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) the independent auditor's qualifications and independence; and (iv) the performance of the Corporation's internal audit function and independent auditors. In performing its duties, the Committee will maintain effective working relationships with and open communication between the Board, management, and the internal and independent auditors.

Organization and Meetings

        The Committee will be composed of three or more directors, none of whom may (i) as determined by the Board of Directors, have any relationship to SAIC that may interfere with the exercise of his or her "independence" from management and the Corporation, as such term is defined in the Corporate Governance Standards of National Association of Security Dealers; (ii) accept any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Corporation other than in his or her capacity as a director or member of the Audit or other Board committee; or (iii) be an affiliated person of the Corporation other than in his or her capacity as a director or member of the Audit or other Board committee. All members of the Committee will be financially literate, or will become financially literate within a reasonable period of time after appointment to the Committee, and at least one member of the Committee will be a "financial expert", as such term is interpreted under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Members of the Committee, including its Chairperson, shall be elected by the Board at the annual organizational meeting of the Board and shall serve until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. The Chairperson shall be responsible for leadership of the Committee, including preparation of meeting agendas.

        The Committee will have regularly scheduled meetings each year, with additional meetings to be held as circumstances require. The Committee will keep minutes of its meetings, and its Chairperson will regularly report to the Board on its activities, making recommendations as appropriate.

Key Responsibilities

        The Committee's job is one of oversight and it recognizes that the Corporation's management is responsible for the preparation and certification of the Corporation's financial statements and that the independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. Additionally, the Committee recognizes that financial management, including the internal audit staff, and the independent auditors, have more time, knowledge, and detailed information on the Corporation than do Committee members. Consequently, in carrying out its oversight responsibilities, the Committee is not providing any expert or special assurance as to the Corporation's financial statements or any professional certification as to the independent auditor's work.

        The following functions shall be the common recurring activities of the Committee in carrying out its oversight function. These functions are set forth as a guide with the understanding that the Committee may diverge from this guide as appropriate given the circumstances.

Internal Controls and Disclosure Controls

•

Review and provide feedback as deemed appropriate on (i) the internal control assessment performed by management for inclusion in the Corporation's annual report with respect to

•

Review the internal control assessment with the independent auditor, the internal auditor, and management, including all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls and any fraud involving management or others with a significant role in the internal controls; receive recommendations for the improvement of such controls, review whether any such previously approved recommendations have been implemented and any other significant changes in internal controls made since the last evaluation.

The Committee shall have sole authority and responsibility to select, evaluate, and, where appropriate, replace the independent auditor and/or the lead audit partner, and the independent auditor shall be ultimately accountable to the Audit Committee. The Chairman of the Audit Committee shall have authority to preapprove audit and non-audit services as necessary between regular meetings of the Committee; provided that any such services so preapproved shall be disclosed to the full Committee at its next scheduled meeting.



•

Ensure the objectivity of the independent auditor by reviewing and discussing with the independent auditor all significant relationships which the auditor has with the Corporation and its affiliates, including: (i) requesting, receiving, and reviewing, on an annual basis, a formal written statement from the independent auditor under Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 that (a) delineates all relationships which may reasonably be thought to bear on the independence of the independent auditor with respect to the Corporation in accordance with professional standards governing such independence; (b) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control procedures, (c) any material issues raised by the most recent internal or peer quality control review of the independent auditor, and (d) any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within the last five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm, and any actions taken to address such issues; (ii) discussing with the independent auditor any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the independent auditor; (iii) taking appropriate action in response to the independent auditor's report; and (iv) establishing clear policies regarding the employment of current or former employees of the independent auditor.

•

The independent auditor's post-audit report to the audit committee should contain discussion of (i) all critical accounting policies and practices to be used; (ii) each alternative treatment of financial information within generally accepted accounting principles that has been discussed with management, ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatments, and the treatment preferred by the independent auditor; and (iii) other material written communications between the independent auditor and management.

Internal Audit

Based on such review, recommend to the Board, in a written report to be included in the Corporation's proxy statement, whether the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.



•

Review with management, the independent auditor, and the internal auditor the quarterly consolidated financial statements of the Corporation, including the disclosures under "Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and the results of the independent auditor's review of those statements. This review shall occur prior to the Corporation's filing of each Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission and may be performed by the Committee Chairperson with as many other members as are able to participate.



•

Discuss with the independent auditor the auditor's judgments about the quality and not just the acceptability of accounting principles used to prepare the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.
