The foregoing share figures have been provided by the Company to the Purchaser and are as of March 1, 2018, the most recent practicable date. |
(2) | The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2018, issued August 24, 2017, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.0001245. |

General Dynamics to Proceed With All Cash Offer to Acquire CSRA
| General Dynamics tender offer to acquire CSRA for $9.6 billion in cash scheduled to expire April 2, 2018 |
| General Dynamics 100% cash offer provides superior value to CSRA shareholders versus CACI unsolicited stock and cash offer |
| General Dynamics has secured all necessary regulatory approvals and has the funding in place to complete the transaction in early April |
FALLS CHURCH, Va. General Dynamics intends to proceed with its tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of CSRA Inc. (NYSE: CSRA) for $40.75 per share in cash. General Dynamics continues to believe that this combination creates a premier provider of high-tech IT solutions to the Government Technology Services market and that its proposed acquisition of CSRA offers superior value for CSRAs shareholders.
On February 12, 2018, General Dynamics and CSRA announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement under which General Dynamics would acquire CSRA for approximately $9.6 billion in cash, including the assumption of $2.8 billion in CSRA debt. The tender offer for CSRA shares commenced on March 5, 2018, and is scheduled to expire on April 2, 2018, at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, with the acquisition of CSRA expected to close shortly thereafter. As previously disclosed, the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act with respect to the tender offer has expired.
On March 18, 2018, CACI International Inc announced an unsolicited offer proposing to acquire CSRA for a combination of CACI common stock based on a fixed exchange ratio of 0.184 shares of CACI stock for each share of CSRA common stock and $15.00 per share of cash. The offer implies current CSRA shareholders will own approximately 55 percent of the resulting entity.

General Dynamics believes strongly that its proposed acquisition of CSRA offers both superior and certain value for the CSRA shareholders for the following reasons:
| We believe the nominal price of CACIs offer to CSRA overstates the real value to the CSRA shareholders and understates the risk attendant to it. |
| CACIs offer is comprised of $15.00 per share of cash, less than 35 percent of the purported value. |
| Over 65 percent of CACIs proposed consideration consists of a fixed exchange ratio of CACI stock, which is subject to daily market fluctuations and an estimated four-month delay at a minimum before its real value can be ascertained with certainty. |
| CACIs nominal $44.00 per share offer depends upon the all-time closing high share price of CACIs volatile common stock. |
| We believe that CACIs proposal would burden the resulting entity with approximately $6.8 billion of debt, which would result in leverage of approximately 5.7x debt to EBITDA, one of the highest in the Government Technology Services sector. |
| CACIs proposed offer would appear to be approximately 25 percent dilutive to CACIs GAAP earnings on a pro forma basis pre-synergies and also dilutive to CACIs GAAP earnings on a pro forma basis even assuming the elevated level of CACIs estimated cost synergies. |
| CACIs estimated synergies are, we believe, aggressive at best. |
| With CSRA shareholders owning 55 percent of the combined company, CSRA will bear the burden of 55 percent of the termination fee payable to General Dynamics as well as 55 percent of the transaction expenses, which we estimate for CSRA alone at a total potential after-tax cost of approximately $0.66 per share for each CSRA share. Assuming CACIs transaction expenses approximate CSRAs, the estimated total potential after-tax cost could be approximately $0.82 per share for each CSRA share. |
| Based on CACIs statement that it could close the acquisition of CSRA by July 31, 2018, the time value of money for an investor between early April and the closing of a CACI/CSRA combination would represent a significant opportunity cost. |
| Using the average trading price of CACIs stock over the past 30 trading days and taking into account the 55 percent of the transaction expenses and termination fee to be borne by the CSRA shareholders and the time value of money opportunity cost due to the significant delay in the closing of a proposed CACI transaction, we estimate the value of CACIs unsolicited offer to be less than the General Dynamics offer. |
more
| On this basis, we believe the CACI offer is inferior to our cash offer of $40.75 per share even prior to factoring in the significant market risk associated with a CACI transaction closing many months in the future with a fixed exchange ratio. |
General Dynamics has a long history of successfully executing acquisitions in a timely and efficient manner and firmly believes that its offer is in the best interest of CSRAs shareholders, employees and customers.

On March 5, 2018, Merger Sub filed a tender offer statement and related exhibits with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and on the same date CSRA filed a solicitation/recommendation statement with respect to the tender offer.
