Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

The information provided in Item 2.01 of this report is incorporated herein by reference.

On September 1, 2011, in connection with the completion of the merger described in Item 2.01 of this report, the following agreements to which Paradigm Holdings, Inc. (“Paradigm”) was a party were terminated:

(a) Paradigm repaid in full all outstanding indebtedness of Paradigm or its subsidiaries for borrowed money or in respect of loans or advances under the loan and security agreement dated March 13, 2007 among Silicon Valley Bank, Paradigm and Paradigm Solutions Corporation, as amended by each of the first loan modification agreement dated August 11, 2008, second loan modification agreement dated March 18, 2009, third loan modification agreement dated May 4, 2009, fourth loan modification agreement dated July 2, 2009, fifth loan modification agreement dated June 11, 2010, and sixth loan modification agreement dated May 16, 2011 (collectively, the “SVB loan agreement”). The SVB loan agreement and all liens and other security interests in favor of Silicon Valley Bank were terminated. Paradigm’s remaining obligation under the SVB loan agreement is limited to maintaining a certificate of deposit in place for 90 days that secures potential charge backs for credit card transactions.

(b) The Class A Warrants, the Class B Warrants, the Company SARs, the Other Company Warrants and the Senior Notes (as such terms are defined below), in each case, issued by Paradigm were terminated or cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the consideration to which such security was entitled, if any, in connection with the merger.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On September 1, 2011, the transactions contemplated by the agreement and plan of merger dated as of July 25, 2011 (the “Merger Agreement”) enter into by and among Paradigm, CACI, Inc.—Federal, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and CACI Newco Corporation, a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), including the merger of Merger Sub with and into Paradigm, with Paradigm continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, were consummated.

Under the terms of the articles of merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, the merger was effective on September 1, 2011.

At the effective time of the merger, all outstanding shares of Paradigm’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), other than (i) shares held in the treasury of Paradigm and shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub, or any subsidiary of Parent or Paradigm (which shares were cancelled) and (ii) shares in respect of which dissenter’s rights are properly exercised under Chapter 92A of the Nevada Revised Statutes, were converted into the right to receive $0.2934 per share in cash (the “Common Merger Consideration”), without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

In addition, at the effective time of the merger the following occurred:

 

  •  

Each share of Paradigm Series A-1 Senior Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), or fraction thereof, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger was converted into the right to receive an amount per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock (including a proportionate amount for any fractional share) equal to the Liquidation Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations of the Series A-1 Senior Preferred Stock).

 

  •  

Each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Options”) that was outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the effective time of the merger was cancelled as of the effective time of the merger. The holder of each Company Option is entitled only to the right to receive, without any interest thereon, an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Common Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such

 

Company Option, and (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock covered by such Company Option (including both vested and unvested shares) as of immediately prior to the effective time of the merger.

 

  •  

Each stock appreciation right warrant (the “Company SARs”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger was cancelled as of the effective time of the merger. The holder of each Company SAR is entitled only to the right to receive, without any interest thereon, an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Common Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such Company SAR and (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which such Company SAR was exercisable as of the effective time of the merger.

 

  •  

Each outstanding Class A Warrant was cancelled in exchange for the payment to each holder thereof of an amount in cash equal to (x) $0.2934 multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would have been issuable upon a cashless exercise of such Class A Warrant immediately prior to the effective time of the merger based on an exercise price equal to $0.2934.

 

  •  

Each outstanding Class B Warrant was cancelled in exchange for the payment to each holder thereof of an amount in cash equal to (x) $0.2934 multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would have been issuable upon a cashless exercise of such Class B Warrant immediately prior to the effective time of the merger based on an exercise price equal to $0.2934.

 

  •  

Each warrant (other than the Company SARs, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants) (the “Other Company Warrants”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the effective time was deemed exercised effective as of the effective time for cash, with such cash deemed paid via the Common Merger Consideration payable to such holders. Pursuant to an agreement to clarify the intent of the Merger Agreement executed on August 31, 2011, the Other Company Warrants that had an exercise price more than the Common Merger Consideration were cancelled and terminated at the effective time of the merger.

 

  •  

Each of the Company’s Senior Secured Subordinated Notes (the “Senior Notes”) that was outstanding as of the effective time of the merger was cancelled and the Company paid each holder thereof cash in an amount equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes held by such holder then outstanding, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the effective time of the merger (calculated at an interest rate of 6% per annum) and (y) the Present Value of Interest (as defined in the Senior Notes) with respect to such aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding.

 

  •  

All outstanding restricted stock awards were automatically fully vested and will be entitled to the Common Merger Consideration in the same fashion as other shares of Company Common Stock.

Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant

The information provided in Item 2.01 of this report is incorporated herein by reference. The aggregate consideration paid by Parent and Merger Sub in the merger for all of the outstanding equity interests of Paradigm and the Senior Notes was $61,500,000, plus the aggregate amount of Closing Cash (as defined in the Merger Agreement), minus the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of outstanding Company Debt (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (excluding the Senior Notes) at the effective time of the merger and (ii) the Company Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that were unpaid at the effective time of the merger. The source of

funds for the cash consideration was readily available funds. Upon the effective time of the merger, the merger constituted a change of control of Paradigm, resulting in Paradigm becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
