Items 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 17, 2010, Global Defense Technology & Systems, Inc. (“GTEC”) entered into an Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Signature Government Solutions, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Signature”), and Signature Consultants, L.L.C., a Florida limited liability company (the “Seller”). The terms of the Agreement were substantially similar to the terms of the Purchase Agreement entered into on November 4, 2010 and described in GTEC’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2010, which Current Report is incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On December 18, 2010, GTEC completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding ownership interests of Signature. The acquisition was consummated pursuant to the Agreement. Following the acquisition, Signature became GTEC’s wholly owned subsidiary.

Pursuant to the Agreement, GTEC paid an initial purchase price of $52.5 million in cash, financed through borrowings under GTEC’s credit facility with SunTrust Bank. The initial purchase price is subject to a two-way post-closing adjustment depending upon whether the working capital of Signature at the closing is ultimately determined to have been above or below the target working capital specified in the Agreement. Out of the initial purchase price, $5.25 million was placed into escrow to be used if necessary to satisfy certain indemnification obligations of the Seller.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Signature acquisition is qualified by reference to the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1. A copy of the press release, dated December 20, 2010, announcing the completion of the Signature acquisition is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
