Board of directors and Executive Officers
Director Nomination Procedures
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for reviewing potential Board nominees to determine whether they have the requisite qualifications, expertise and other characteristics for service on the Board and its committees and recommending qualified candidates to the Board for consideration at the Annual Meeting. In fulfillment of these responsibilities, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers the overall composition of the Board to determine whether the Board has a broad range of business experience, expertise, skills, perspectives, tenure and diversity, including gender, race and ethnicity, that allow the Board to draw upon many individual perspectives as the Board oversees, evaluates and advises management with respect to a wide variety of matters.
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee evaluates candidates recommended by Board members, management, shareholders or consultants utilizing the following standards:
|
• |
Demonstrated judgement, intelligence and character; |
|
• |
Record of substantial business experience relevant to the Company; |
|
• |
Ability to represent the interests of our shareholders; |
|
• |
Understanding of executive leadership, marketing, finance and corporate strategy; |
|
• |
Ability to dedicate sufficient time, energy and attention to the performance of their duties; and |
|
• |
Contribution to the range of talent, skill, expertise and individual characteristics of the Board. |
Any shareholder who wishes to formally nominate a person for election as a director must comply with the advance notice provisions of the Company’s By-laws which are described in this proxy statement under “Annual Meeting Information” on page 60.
In order to determine the appropriate mix of professional experiences, expertise and backgrounds for the Board, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board discuss the Board’s composition during the year, and while the Board does not have a formal diversity policy, the Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board should be large enough to reflect a substantial diversity of perspectives, background and experiences and that the Board should consider the scope of diversity, inclusive of gender, race and ethnicity, represented on the Board.

The Board is responsible for the oversight of management on behalf of our shareholders and the Board accomplishes this function acting directly and through Board committees. In accordance with the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board has eight standing committees: Audit; Compensation; Corporate Governance and Nominating; Culture, Character, Integrity & Ethics; Executive; Investor Relations; Security and Risk Assessment; and Strategic Assessment. This governance structure allows the Board to provide focused advice, insight and oversight in the interests of the Company and our shareholders. The Board and its committees discharge their duties at Board and committee

The Board reevaluates our policies and practices on an ongoing basis and all of our directors, executive officers and other employees are required to review their applicable code of conduct and certify compliance annually to ensure high standards of business conduct that facilitate the Board’s execution of its responsibilities. Additional information is provided below regarding key corporate governance and ethics policies and practices that we believe enable us to manage our business in accordance with the highest standards of business ethics and in the best interest of our shareholders.

The Board is responsible for determining the optimal leadership structure in order to provide independent oversight of senior management and evaluates the Board’s leadership structure on an annual basis. In evaluating its leadership structure, the Board considers our current operating and governance environment, governance best practices and feedback from our shareholders on how the Board can provide effective oversight of senior management on behalf of our shareholders. Based on these considerations, the Board has determined that separate positions for Chairman and CEO, coupled with a Lead Independent Director, provides an efficient and effective leadership model, fostering clear accountability, differing perspectives and effective decision making as the Chairman focuses on the Board activities while the CEO manages the day to day business.

The Board has also approved Standards of Ethics and Business Conduct that establish standards of conduct for employees that are designed to mitigate risks associated with compliance, foster ethical conduct by our employees and protect company assets. We require all employees to receive annual training related to our Standards of Ethics and Business Conduct and related policies in order to ensure that employees are familiar with those standards of conduct and to mitigate the risks associated with employees’ failure to meet those standards.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers and directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Such officers, directors, and shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all such reports that they file.
Under the applicable regulations, the reporting person is responsible for making the filing. Ordinarily however, when a reporting person engages in a transaction with the Company, such as the grant of a stock option, RSU, or similar award, Company personnel generate the report on a timely basis for the benefit of the reporting person.
Based solely on a review of copies of reports filed with the SEC and of written representations by certain Officers and Directors, all persons subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) filed the required reports on a timely basis during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, with the exception of Mr. Mutryn who had one late filing with respect to a transaction.

Financial Performance Summary
Fiscal Year 2017 Performance
Below are charts outlining our performance over the last three fiscal years for the primary performance metrics used by the Compensation Committee in determining our NEOs’ compensation. The growth depicted below had a substantial impact on our NEOs’ earned compensation over the course of this period. For fiscal year 2017, this resulted in
22
ExeCutive Compensation
an average achievement of 124% of the targeted annual incentive plan value, and the growth of the Company’s stock price over fiscal year 2017 resulted in achievement of 134% of the performance-based equity awards granted to the NEOs during the fiscal year. These charts present the performance metrics in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
2016 Say on Pay Vote
DECISION SUPPORT As the Compensation Committee made its fiscal year 2017 compensation decisions, it considered that a record 99% of the votes cast on the Company’s fiscal year 2016 executive compensation program (the “Say on Pay” proposal) were voted in favor of the “Say on Pay” proposal at the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting. This continued the strong support as shown in 2015’s 98% approval rate. The Company also actively engages with its shareholders to determine views towards the programs and reviews comments from shareholder advisory services.
|
Pay for Performance Philosophy
The Compensation Committee believes our executive compensation program should incent and reward behaviors that build a foundation for our long-term performance and success while also supporting the achievement of annual objectives. Our performance assessment framework and executive compensation program are designed to reward such performance by linking our executives’ compensation to the achievement of both long- and short-term goals. For example, the annual incentives paid to each of our NEOs vary with performance, including our annual financial results.
23
ExeCutive Compensation
Additionally, the NEOs receive two types of long-term incentive plan awards that will result in payouts only if we achieve targeted growth in such measures as stock price performance, earnings per share (“EPS”), net after tax profit (“NATP”) and revenue.
Executive Compensation Program Design
The substantial majority of our NEOs’ compensation is directly tied to our performance with short-term and long-term incentives comprising an average of approximately 77% of our NEOs’ target total direct compensation (“TDC”). The following is a list of the principal components of our executive compensation program:
Character |
Component |
Description |
Fixed |
Base Salary |
• Annual fixed portion of NEOs’ TDC designed to attract and retain experienced executives, comprising only an average of approximately 23% of our executives’ target total direct compensation. |
At Risk |
Annual Incentives |
• Cash bonus plan that rewards NEOs for achieving quarterly and annual performance objectives based on EPS, NATP, Total CACI Revenue and US Operations Organic Revenue, calculated as described below. |
Long-Term Incentives |
• Performance-based Restricted Stock Units (“PRSUs”) earned based on achievement of a minimum one-year EPS threshold, adjusted for annual changes in stock price over a three-year period, and vesting on the third and fourth grant anniversaries. • Cash-based long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) provides value to the executive only to the extent NATP and revenue significantly outperformed plan over a three-year period. |
Performance Assessment
Compensation Committee |
The Compensation Committee uses a comprehensive process to assess performance on an ongoing basis, which includes frequent dialogue with management about financial performance relative to our goals and competitors, and assessment of corporate and individual executive accomplishments. |
Independent Consultant |
The Compensation Committee also asks its independent compensation consultant to assess our pay-for-performance alignment, which includes an analysis of our NEOs’ realizable pay relative to our peer group and an analysis of operational and shareholder returns relative to our peer group. |
Historical Pay for Performance Results
Our pay for performance philosophy is reflected in the compensation that is actually earned by our NEOs over the past three years. The chart below summarizes our performance against the Compensation Committee performance metrics and the impact such performance had on our NEOs’ compensation:

Compensation Governance, Process and Incentive Decisions
Decision Making
The Decision Makers
The Compensation Committee, composed solely of independent directors, is responsible for our executive officer compensation decisions. The Compensation Committee works very closely with its independent consultant and management to examine pay and performance matters during the year. The Compensation Committee held six meetings over the course of fiscal year 2017, and all four quarterly meetings either ended or started with executive sessions without management present. The Compensation Committee’s charter may be accessed through the “Corporate Governance” link found on our website at http://investor.caci.com/corporate_governance. |
Compensation Committee’s Independent Compensation Consultant
The Compensation Committee retained Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“FW Cook”) as its independent compensation consultant. With respect to fiscal year 2017, the compensation consultant attended Compensation Committee meetings, met with the Compensation Committee in executive sessions, reviewed and provided recommendations on the components of the Company’s executive compensation program and provided compensation advice independent of the Company’s management.
FW Cook reports directly to the Committee and performs no work for management other than providing advice on executive compensation pursuant to its engagement by the Committee. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of FW Cook pursuant to SEC rules and concluded that its work for the Compensation Committee did not raise any conflicts of interest.

The Compensation Committee followed the process outlined below to determine and assess NEO compensation in fiscal year 2017:
FY 2016/2017 |
Q4 FY2016 | ending 6/30/2016 •Established preliminary fiscal year 2017 compensation program design •Established preliminary metrics and goals for the fiscal year 2017 annual incentive plan •Reviewed total target direct compensation for the NEOs
Q1 FY2017 | ending 9/30/2016 •Finalized fiscal year 2017 compensation program design •Finalized metrics and goals for the fiscal year 2017 annual incentive plan •Set total target direct compensation for the NEOs •Set the metrics and goals for the PRSUs and LTIP |
DETERMINE TDC TARGETS FOR THE NEOs
At the end of fiscal 2016 and early in fiscal year 2017, the Compensation Committee determined fiscal year 2017 TDC targets for the CEO and each of the other NEOs employed at the time based on the following process: •Leadership Evaluation: The Compensation Committee uses a performance assessment framework to make CEO compensation decisions. For the other NEOs, the Compensation Committee, with input from the CEO, reviews (1) business unit/staff group performance against the objectives set in fiscal year 2016, and (2) each NEO’s Leadership Assessment based on individual performance with regard to key leadership attributes. •Risk-Balancing and Performance: In evaluating the performance of the NEOs, the Compensation Committee seeks to understand what was accomplished relative to established objectives, how it was accomplished, the quality of financial results and the Company’s strategic positioning for future competitive advantage. •Market Practices: The Compensation Committee evaluates each NEO’s relative compensation and changes in responsibilities, and considers current pay practices for comparable positions at peer companies. •Independent Consultant Recommendation: The Compensation Committee receives input from its independent compensation consultant. •Other Factors: For the other NEOs, the Compensation Committee also considers the CEO’s recommendations, succession planning and retention. Finally, before making pay decisions, the Compensation Committee reviews the pay mix to ensure that it is competitively positioned and performance-based.
PROGRAM DESIGN AND GOAL SETTING
At the end of fiscal 2016 and early fiscal year 2017, the Compensation Committee also finalized the fiscal year 2017 compensation plan, and reviewed and approved the metrics and goals for the annual incentive plan as well as the PRSUs and LTIP. |
|
Q2, Q3, and Q4 FY2017 | ending 12/31/2016, 3/31/2017 and 6/30/2017 •Review the Company’s performance and assess progress toward objectives •Assess progress toward NEO objectives •Discuss potential program changes in light of feedback from shareholders, regulatory guidance, and external trends
|
|
REVIEW OF PROGRESS AGAINST GOALS
The Compensation Committee reviews corporate performance each quarter, and assesses progress against each of the incentive plan’s goals. The Compensation Committee also discusses other information relevant to executive compensation, such as trends, regulatory updates, and shareholder feedback.

Assessing Competitive Practice
FW Cook assists the Compensation Committee by reviewing comparative market data on compensation practices and programs within the Company’s peer group.
During fiscal year 2017, FW Cook was responsible for providing information on new laws and regulations, general industry compensation practices, and recommendations for director compensation and compensation for management positions under the Compensation Committee’s purview, and for performing independent assessments of management recommendations brought before the Compensation Committee. FW Cook participated in all meetings of the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year.
For fiscal year 2017, peer comparisons were performed against 18 publicly traded companies which were selected based on similarities to CACI in size and/or industry as well as operational similarities. The selected companies were as follows:
Acxiom Corporation |
Alliance Data Systems Corporation |
Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation |
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. |
Ciber, Inc. |
Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation |
Convergys Corporation |
CSRA Inc. |
Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. |
Fiserv, Inc. |
Harris Corporation |
Leidos Holdings, Inc. |
ManTech International Corporation |
MAXIMUS, Inc. |
Science Applications International Corporation |
Sykes Enterprises, Inc. |
Tetra Tech, Inc. |
Unisys Corporation |
|
|
The companies used for peer comparisons are reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary due to changes at the selected company (e.g., acquisitions, bankruptcies, etc.) or changes in the comparability of the selected company to CACI. CSRA Inc. (“CSRA”) and Science Applications International Corporation (“SAIC”) were added to the list of peer companies for fiscal year 2017 due to operational similarity to CACI. CSRA became publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange during CACI’s fiscal year 2016 and was not previously available for use in peer comparisons. SAIC had been replaced by Leidos Holdings Inc. in fiscal year 2015 due to the split of the two companies, but the Compensation Committee determined that both Leidos and SAIC were comparable and should be included for peer comparisons.
General industry market data for NEO and other senior executive compensation was also provided to the Compensation Committee by Willis Towers Watson, which did not provide advice or analysis regarding the data provided.
Determining Executive Compensation
Executive Compensation Objectives

OUR COMPENSATION PRINCIPLES
Our compensation programs for NEOs are guided by three basic principles:
Link compensation to performance. We believe that compensation levels should reflect performance - both the performance of CACI and the performance of the recipient.
Maintain competitive compensation levels. We strive to offer programs and levels of compensation that are competitive with those offered by the Company’s peer group in order to attract, retain and reward our NEOs.
Align management’s interests with those of shareholders. We seek to implement programs that will align management’s interests with those of shareholders and increase long-term shareholder value by granting long-term equity incentive awards each year.

Fiscal Year 2017 Base Salaries
In July 2016, the Compensation Committee compared our NEOs’ base salaries to the median of base salaries for comparable executives among our peer group and evaluated individual performance in fiscal year 2016. In addition, the Company’s overall annual fiscal year 2017 merit increase guidance applicable to all employees was considered. After consideration, the Compensation Committee decided to provide base salary adjustments equal to the Company’s average fiscal year 2017 raise percentage, as all salaries were in line with the competitive median of the Company’s peer group and the general industry market analysis. The adjustments approved by the Compensation Committee became effective September 1, 2016.
Ms. Gray was hired during fiscal year 2017, and hence was not part of the salary review process at the beginning of the fiscal year; her salary was set as part of her hiring in June 2017. At the time the offer of employment was made to Ms. Gray, the salary offered was evaluated against her current salary, the competitive median for her offered position, and other internal executive officer salaries, and the Committee determined that the salary offered was reasonable.

Fiscal 2017 Annual Incentives
Target Annual Incentives
Our annual incentive program is a cash incentive plan designed to motivate our executive officers to achieve pre-established quarterly and annual performance objectives. In establishing target annual incentives for fiscal year 2017, the Compensation Committee reviewed our NEOs’ total target cash compensation relative to our peers and made certain adjustments to more closely align our NEOs’ total target cash compensation to the peer group. The table below shows the fiscal year 2017 NEO target annual incentive levels that were approved by the Compensation Committee in July 2016.
31
ExeCutive Compensation
For Mr. Mutryn, it was determined that his total cash compensation was significantly below that of the peer group and his annual incentive target merited an increase to bring his total target cash compensation in line other CFOs in the peer group.
Due to the timing of Ms. Gray’s hiring, she did not participate in the fiscal year 2017 annual incentive program.

Design
The annual incentive plan has both annual and quarterly components to ensure that executives are focused on performance throughout the fiscal year. These components are described below:
Component |
Determination |
Annual |
Established at the beginning of the fiscal year and may be modified by the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year due to changes in business conditions (e.g., acquisitions, major corporate events, etc.). During fiscal year 2017, no modifications were made. |
Quarterly |
Established at the beginning of the fiscal year and reviewed at the beginning of each quarter, with each quarter representing 10% of the annual incentive program for each NEO. |
Fiscal Year 2017 Targets
At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee establishes the performance metrics applicable to the annual and quarterly components of the annual incentive program. The performance metrics are selected to incent the Company’s growth and meet the needs of the Company’s shareholders, and are applied to each executive based on their responsibilities. For fiscal 2017, the Compensation Committee selected the following performance metrics for our NEOs:
Performance Metric |
Purpose |
|
NATP
|
NATP is the primary indicator of our performance that is controlled by us and is used as the primary incentive metric to ensure our executives’ focus on overall profitability. |
|
EPS |
EPS is a measure of profitability that is commonly used by our shareholders in evaluating our performance. |

2017 Changes For fiscal year 2017, the Compensation Committee made two key changes to the annual incentive program: •US Operations Organic Revenue replaced New Business Awards, which measured awards of new contracts by our customers, as a growth incentive. Due to experience in fiscal year 2016, it was determined that delays in the timing of awards by the Government impacted the effectiveness of the New Business Awards metric, and growth on existing contracts was as valuable to the Company but not as easily measured as a New Business Award. The US Operations Organic Revenue metric more directly met the Committee’s incentive intention based on the way the Target was set, as is discussed below. •Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) was removed as a metric. This metric was first added in fiscal year 2015 as an incentive to allocate capital efficiently in order to generate returns for our shareholders, and was calculated as NATP divided by the average of the last 12 months net debt plus book equity. But based on experience in fiscal year 2015 and fiscal year 2016, it was determined it was not having the intended effect. In fiscal year 2015, the annual ROIC minimum threshold was achieved, but the related annual incentive payment was voluntarily declined by the NEOs because they agreed that there were no actions during fiscal year 2015 related to the usage of capital that merited them receiving payment for this metric in circumstances where the Company did not achieve its minimum NATP threshold. And in fiscal year 2016, the upper threshold for ROIC, which would have resulted in the maximum annual incentive payment for the metric, would have been met without the acquisition of NSS, which was determined to be a positive activity for the Company that should not have had a negative impact on the annual incentive plan. |
33
ExeCutive Compensation
After determining the appropriate performance metrics and weights applicable to the annual incentive program, the Compensation Committee establishes the target performance levels for each performance metric at the beginning of the fiscal year. The performance targets for each metric are established based on the Company’s five-year strategic plan, current business environment, review of the competitive market, historical performance against targets and the Company’s desire for growth. As a result, in fiscal year 2017, the performance targets for NATP, EPS, and CACI Total Revenue were set 3.8% above the Company’s plan, and the performance target for US Operations Organic Revenue was set to equal the fiscal year 2016 level, which was a 3.7% increase above the Company’s annual plan.
Once performance targets are established for each performance metric, the Compensation Committee determines appropriate lower, or “Cut,” threshold levels for each metric and upper, or “Stretch,” threshold levels. For performance below Cut levels, no bonus is awarded. For performance at or above Cut levels, bonus payouts are prorated on a straight-line basis. For performance goals that represent profit metrics, bonus payouts for performance above Stretch levels are calculated as a percentage of the NEOs’ respective metric performance. Total payment for the annual incentive program is capped at 250% of the target payout for each NEO.
The ranges between Cut, Target and Stretch thresholds are based upon multiple factors assessed by the Compensation Committee, including historical ranges and historical performance against Target, Cut, and Stretch thresholds. For fiscal year 2017, for NATP, EPS, and CACI Total Revenue, the Compensation Committee set the Cut thresholds at 94% of Target and Stretch thresholds at 104% of Target. For the US Operations Organic Revenue metric, the Compensation Committee did not approve a Cut threshold as it was determined the Target level would be required to be met as anything below that would result in negative organic growth from fiscal year 2016. The Stretch threshold for the US Operations Organic Revenue metric was approved as 1.4% above Target, which was the organic growth that would be achieved if the Company’s Total Revenue Target threshold was achieved; as this Stretch threshold was a 5.1% increase above the Company’s annual plan, it was determined to be a reasonable Threshold.

The differences in the payouts as a percentage of target between Dr. London and Mr. Asbury despite their having the same metrics is due to the impact of performing above Stretch for the NATP metric in Q1 and Q3, as both received the same dollar amount (2.0% of the amount above the Stretch level), which represented a larger percentage of Dr. London’s target annual incentive amount.

Fiscal Year 2017 Long-Term Incentives
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (PRSUs)
A significant portion of our NEOs’ TDC is granted in the form of PRSUs that are designed to improve shareholder value and contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company. In order to receive any shares granted under the award, the Company must reach a minimum one-year EPS threshold. If the minimum threshold is met, then any earned shares are earned over a three-year performance period with the number of shares earned each year adjusted by the percentage growth or decline from the average stock price over 90 calendar days immediately preceding the grant to the average stock price over 90 calendar days immediately preceding the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to an overall cap of 200% of the target number of PRSUs granted. Once earned, the shares vest ratably on the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Below is a hypothetical example of how PRSUs are earned and vested:

The EPS threshold for fiscal year 2017 was set at $4.50. This was based on anticipated potential delays from new business awards compared to what was in the fiscal year 2017 plan, which was considered to be a realistic possibility given the dynamics of the government services industry.
During the annual review of the equity program, the Compensation Committee considered other formats, such as stock options, stock appreciation rights, non-performance-based RSUs, performance-based equity that leverages other financial metrics approved within the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, and performance-based equity based on relative performance metrics against a defined peer group or stock market index. Regarding the use of relative performance metrics, it was determined that the existing and anticipated turnover of companies in the competitive market due to acquisitions, spin-offs, privatization, new public offerings and other similar transactions made the measurement over a three-year period unfeasible at this time. Further, feedback from our investors in recent years about the potential usage of a stock market index for a relative performance metric indicated that such a metric would receive little support.
The Compensation Committee used market data provided by its compensation consultants in order to set the dollar value of equity for the named executive officers (other than Ms. Gray). Based on this review, the Compensation Committee made certain adjustments to align our NEOs with the median of our peer group.
Due to the timing of Ms. Gray’s hiring, she did not participate in the fiscal year 2017 PRSU grant, and instead the Committee approved a grant of $1,700,000 worth of RSUs that will vest in three equal annual increments beginning on the first anniversary of her employment. This grant size was intended to replace the value of grants she forfeited at her former employer upon her departure, and the Committee determined that the grant offered to and accepted by Ms. Gray was reasonable.

ExeCutive Compensation
Mr. Asbury received a stock grant upon his hiring in February 2013 in the form of 300,000 time-based RSUs; while compensation offered to executive officers is generally performance-based it was determined at the time of Mr. Asbury’s hiring that the time-based format was required to obtain his services. Based upon the size of this grant and the vesting timeframe, the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Asbury would not be eligible for annual grants until fiscal year 2017. |
|
Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) (Cash)
The LTIP is a separate plan, independent of other incentive programs administered by the Compensation Committee. The LTIP is a cash-based plan, designed to incent long-term growth and profitability, with performance metrics set at very challenging levels. The Compensation Committee selected NATP and revenue as performance metrics for the LTIP to incent higher levels of long-term growth along these important metrics. Although performance under our annual incentive plan is evaluated along these same metrics, the LTIP targets are set well above the annual incentive plan levels. For fiscal year 2017, metrics were set 6% higher than the annual incentive plan target (a total of 10% above the Company’s plan).
The Compensation Committee has sole discretion in selecting participants in the LTIP, with participation intended to be limited to people most able to impact the achievement of the metrics. Among the NEOs, Mr. Mengucci and Mr. Mutryn were selected to participate in the LTIP for fiscal year 2017. At their request, Dr. London and Mr. Asbury were not considered for participation due to their existing incentives.
|
The cash incentives under the LTIP are distributed at the end of a three-year period, with a third of the value earned on a one-year performance period, a third of the value earned on a cumulative two-year performance period and a third of the value earned on a cumulative three-year performance period that are each established at the time the target award is determined. In order to ensure that our participating NEOs are challenged, the performance required for payouts under the LTIP are set beyond the Stretch levels established under the annual incentive plan.
The Compensation Committee generally sets the LTIP target value for each participant to match their annual incentive plan target bonus level. As the metrics were intended to have a high level of difficulty to achieve, the Compensation Committee determined that market data provided by its compensation consultants did not directly apply to the determination of the bonus potential. For Mr. Mengucci and Mr. Mutryn, the Compensation Committee set their annual bonus potential equal to:

At the conclusion of each fiscal year after grant, CACI’s performance against the metrics will be measured. If both metrics are achieved, each participant would earn 100% of their LTIP potential for that year. If only NATP or revenue is achieved, only a portion of the annual potential would be earned. The performance metrics, weightings and targets for the 2017 performance periods for the 2015 LTIP, 2016 LTIP, and the 2017 LTIP are below (in millions):

Other Compensation Policies and Practices
Benefits and Executive Perquisites
All NEOs are entitled to receive a Company-provided automobile or an allowance to obtain an automobile. All NEOs are also eligible for annual financial planning services. These items are fully taxable as ordinary income; no tax gross-up is provided.
In addition, we provide a $25,000 discretionary benefit allowance per calendar year to the President and Chief Executive Officer and to the Chairman of the Board and Executive Chairman. This allowance can be used for business or personal expenses. All personal benefit received from this allowance is fully taxable as ordinary income; no tax gross-up is provided.
Furthermore, Dr. London has a medical agreement that provides lifetime participation in the Company’s executive medical plan for him and his spouse to the extent permitted by law, with such participation on the same basis that existed just prior to any merger, consolidation, or change in control of the Company.
Executives are also permitted to participate in the Company’s other employee benefit plans on substantially the same terms as other employees. For example, the Company makes matching contributions to our 401(k) plan based on employee contributions, and executives receive the same benefit.
All amounts related to perquisites for NEOs are disclosed in column (i) of the Summary Compensation Table, along with details on their valuations.
Severance and Change in Control Benefits
The Company currently maintains severance agreements with all NEOs except for Ms. Gray, for whom the Committee anticipates completing a severance agreement during fiscal year 2018. The purpose of the agreements is to
38
ExeCutive Compensation
provide those executives with a degree of security and to mitigate concern that they might have regarding their continued employment prior to or following a change in control, thereby allowing the executive to focus their undivided attention to serving the interests of the Company and our shareholders. The Company believes that appropriate severance arrangements are necessary in order to attract and retain these key executives and are an important part of a competitive overall compensation program for the NEOs.
In the event of a change in control, the severance benefits are generally payable only upon a “double trigger,” meaning that severance benefits are triggered when an eligible executive is involuntarily terminated without cause by the Company or resigns for “good reason” within one year following a change in control. This “double trigger” provision was implemented to be consistent with good market practices. We believe this program encourages retention in the face of an actual or potential change in control and aligns executive and shareholder interests. Furthermore, the program allows top executives to review corporate transactions that are in the best interests of our shareholders without concern over whether the transactions may adversely impact the executive’s employment.
Per the terms of his employment agreement, Dr. London is entitled to severance benefits if he voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason within one year of a change in control; this term was negotiated in good faith with Dr. London in 2007 and was part of prior employment agreements, and the Compensation Committee has decided that new employment agreements will contain a “double trigger” provision as outlined in the preceding paragraph.
All stock granted since 2010 has provided for “double trigger” vesting acceleration in the event of a change in control, under which vesting accelerates only upon a change in control and involuntary termination without cause or resignation for good reason within one year after the change of control.
The following separation terms also apply to the Company’s long-term incentive programs:
|
RSU Grants: |
Grant recipients over age 62 as of July 1, 2008 (“grandfathered employees”) who retire at or above age 65 vest in all RSUs upon retirement unless the RSUs are still in the first year of their measurement period, in which case they are forfeited upon retirement. Non-grandfathered executives who retire at age 62 or older vest in a prorated portion of the RSUs based upon their number of months of service after the grant date divided by the full vesting timeframe; the numbers of RSUs received are still subject to the results of the performance conditions. A grantee terminated without cause is entitled to the same treatment as a non-grandfathered executive retiring at age 62 or older. Dr. London is the only grandfathered executive among the executive officers. |
|
LTIP: |
In the event of a change in control during the three year performance period, participants will receive payment for bonuses earned for completed fiscal years as well as for the annual bonus potential for the current fiscal year at the time the change in control event is legally consummated and binding (subject to IRS regulations or other laws/regulations). |
Calculations for various termination scenarios are included in the “Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control” section of this proxy statement.
Retirement Plans
The Company offers a non-qualified deferred compensation plan in order to encourage employees to save for their retirement. Eligible employees, which include all NEOs, may elect to contribute up to 50% of their U.S. base salary and 100% of their U.S. bonuses and commissions to this plan on a pre-tax basis. The Company contributes 5% of all income over the compensation limit in IRC section 401(a)(17) to participants, subject to plan vesting conditions, and may make a supplemental discretionary contribution to a participant’s account in any amount it elects. No discretionary contributions were made in fiscal year 2017.
39
ExeCutive Compensation
In the past, Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (“SERP”) have been provided to NEOs to offset the loss of benefits from previous employers in order to acquire their services and are, therefore, consistent with the Company’s philosophy of attracting and retaining critical talent. Mr. Mengucci was offered a SERP as part of his employment offer, and it will become effective upon its finalization. The Company provides no other executive a SERP and does not anticipate doing so in the future.
Management Stock Purchase Plan
The Company offers a Management Stock Purchase Plan (“MSPP”) in order to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company by providing executives with incentives to improve shareholder value and to contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company. The MSPP also helps executives to meet their mandated stock ownership requirements. The Board believes that the MSPP serves these goals, encouraging executives to convert a higher percentage of their cash compensation into Company equity.
The MSPP provides for equity ownership in the Company by senior officers by allowing the voluntary deferral of up to 100% of the annual portion of their annual incentive plan compensation into RSUs. All deferred shares are bought at a discount of up to 15%, as determined annually by the Compensation Committee, of fair market value. The Company may grant matching awards in an amount not to exceed 25% of the participant’s deferrals and subject to such vesting or other restrictions or conditions as the Compensation Committee determines.
The amount of the discount to fair market value and matching grant is determined by the Compensation Committee no later than December 31st of the fiscal year in which the bonus is earned (or as otherwise specified in the MSPP for matching awards that qualify under IRC section 162(m)). During fiscal year 2017, the Compensation Committee approved a 15% discount with no matching.
The benefit provided from MSPP purchases for each NEO is listed in column (i) of the Summary Compensation Table.
Stock Ownership Requirements
The Compensation Committee maintains executive stock ownership requirements for its senior officers to focus those executives on the long-term growth in value of the Company and to ensure they act as owners of the Company. The stock ownership requirements are based on a multiple of the executive’s salary as set forth below and the number of shares required to be held is determined annually based on the 90 day average stock price on July 1. The required multiple for each executive is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee to ensure that it provides enough incentive to properly align the interests of senior management with those of our shareholders.
Until an executive meets the required number of shares, they are limited with respect to the number of shares they are allowed to sell, and are only allowed to sell one-half of the vested RSUs remaining after payment of taxes (standard practice is to sell a portion of shares that vest to cover the tax burden caused by the vesting); the other one-half that must be retained is used to determine the interim ownership requirement until the full number of shares is reached, with each successive vesting being added to the prior interim requirement in order to establish the new requirement.
Based on these requirements, the following table provides the full number of shares required to be held by each of our NEOs, the multiple of each executive’s base salary full ownership would represent, and the ownership requirement for each executive as of July 1, 2017. The Compensation Committee believes these salary multiples are robust and above comparable peer levels.

Stockholdings are measured annually as of July 1st to determine compliance with the requirements, which are based upon the prior year’s level plus one-half of all vested restricted stock and/or restricted stock units after taxes are withheld since the prior July 1st. Only fully owned shares count in the measurement; unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units do not count, nor do any other unvested and/or unexercised instruments.
To encourage compliance, a noncompliant senior officer is required to participate in the MSPP with 100% of the amounts received under the annual portion of their annual incentive compensation plan going toward the purchase of RSUs until they meet the required holding level.
All NEOs are in compliance with their respective stock ownership requirements as of July 1, 2017.
We maintain a formal “clawback” policy for incentive awards that is broader in its reach than that imposed by Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”). The policy covers incentive awards to “officers” (as defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act), and was adopted in fiscal year 2010. Under the policy, in the event of a restatement of previously reported financial results, the Compensation Committee may require reimbursement of the incremental portion of incentive awards paid to executive officers in excess of the awards that should properly have been paid based on the restated financial results.
By way of comparison, the clawback imposed by Section 304 of SOX (which applies to CACI) is limited to the CEO and CFO and is based on material noncompliance by the issuer, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting obligation under the federal securities laws where such noncompliance requires the issuer to restate its financials. The SOX provision looks back one year and requires the issuer to recover all bonus or incentive-based or equity-based compensation paid to the CEO and CFO (in cases of misconduct). The Securities and Exchange Commission enforces Section 304; there is no private right of action.
The Compensation Committee is monitoring this policy to ensure that it remains consistent with applicable laws, including emerging requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Impact of Regulatory Requirements
The Compensation Committee seeks regular updates on changes in regulations affecting compensation and how they impact executive compensation. The Compensation Committee considers applicable regulatory requirements when making compensation decisions and seeks to ensure that Company compensation plans continue to meet such requirements.
41
ExeCutive Compensation
The Company has a Chief Risk Officer and among his tasks are attending meetings of the Compensation Committee and performing an annual assessment of the Company’s overall compensation risk profile. The Compensation Committee also engages FW Cook to perform an independent risk assessment of the Company’s executive and non-executive compensation programs.
As a part of these risk assessments, the Chief Risk Officer and FW Cook have made the following findings about CACI’s compensation programs:
|
• |
the Board and the Compensation Committee exercise close oversight over the performance measures utilized by the Annual Incentive Plan and the Long-Term Incentive Plan, which in combination serve to balance short-term and long-term performance requirements, and enhance stockholder value; |
|
• |
the performance objectives of the plans are linked such that achievement of annual incentive plan measures serves to enhance the performance of the Company while also supporting the goals established for the long-term incentive plan; |
|
• |
the balance of total compensation is more heavily weighted to long-term incentives, and increasing the stock price over the long-term provides the maximum incentive value; and |
|
• |
the Company has a rigorous system of internal controls designed to prevent any individual employee from creating adverse material risk in pursuit of short- or long-term compensation. For example, the Board must approve all capital outlays of $10 million or more, as well as all acquisitions and divestitures of $5 million or more. |
Based on these analyses, the Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s compensation programs do not encourage excessive risk-taking.
42
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. Based upon such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 be included in the Company’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company made a $250,000 sign-on bonus to Ms. Gray in fiscal year 2017. The Company did not make any other non-performance based bonus payments to any NEOs in fiscal years 2017, 2016, or 2015. |
(3) |
The amounts reported in the Stock Awards column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of each restricted stock unit granted during such year, as computed in accordance with ASC 718. See Note 21 of the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 21, 2017. RSUs awarded to all NEOs were in the form of performance-based RSUs (PRSUs), other than the RSUs awarded to Ms. Gray, whose RSUs have time-based vesting. The grant date fair value of the PRSUs was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation method. Based on the Company’s performance during the year ended June 30, 2017 and the Company’s average stock price for the 90 day period ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the average stock price for the 90 day period ended September 30, 2016, the PRSUs granted in fiscal year 2017 are at 134% of the target award level through the first year of measurement; if we achieve maximum performance conditions for these grants (200% of the target amount of PRSUs due to growth in the Company’s stock price), then the cash value of the resulting awards would be 328% of the amounts shown in the table. Based on the Company’s performance during the year ended June 30, 2016 and the Company’s average stock price for the 90 day periods ended September 18, 2017 and September 18, 2016 as compared to the average stock price for the 90 day period ended September 18, 2015, the PRSUs granted in fiscal year 2016 are at 138% of the target award level through the second year of measurement; if we achieve maximum performance conditions for these grants (200% of the target amount of PRSUs due to growth in the Company’s stock price), then the cash value of the resulting awards would be 420% of the amounts shown in the table. Based on the Company’s performance during the year ended June 30, 2015 and the Company’s average stock price for the 90 day periods ended September 23, 2017, September 23, 2016 and September 23, 2015 as compared to the average stock price for the 90 day period ended September 23, 2014, the PRSUs granted in fiscal year 2015 resulted in 144% of the target award level. |

Amounts reported in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column represent performance-based incentive compensation earned in fiscal years 2017, 2016, or 2015. Mr. Mengucci’s and Mr. Mutryn’s Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation includes amounts earned under the LTIP that will be paid in fiscal year 2018. |

There were no above-market or preferential earnings on deferred compensation in fiscal year 2017; accordingly, no portion of the amounts in the Aggregate Earnings column are reported as compensation in the Summary Compensation Table. |
(4) |
Certain amounts in the Aggregate Balance at Last Fiscal Year End column were previously reported in the Summary Compensation Table in the Salary, Bonus and Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation columns (in the case of executive contributions) or in the All Other Compensation column (in the case of Company contributions). The amounts previously reported as executive and Company contributions were as follows: (i) Dr. London, $1,530,133 and $873,486; (ii) Mr. Asbury, $17,832 and $169,238, (iii) Mr. Mengucci, $112,399 and $103,617and (iv) Mr. Mutryn, $334,098 and $299,467. |
The term of each NEO’s severance agreement (other than Ms. Gray) is one year with automatic one-year extensions thereafter (except for the agreement provided to the President and Chief Executive Officer which is three years with automatic one-year extensions thereafter), unless the Company provides written notice of the Company’s intent to amend the Company’s severance policy with respect to its senior executives and to apply the amended policy to the
47
COMPENSATION TABLES
executive. In the event the Company provides such notice to the executive, agreements expire by their terms at the end of the full term year that begins on the next July 1st following the date such notice is received by the executive officer.
Per the terms of the agreements, each executive’s employment may be terminated by the Company without a separation payment of any kind in the event of death or a termination for cause as determined by the Board.
In the event of a termination by the Company for disability, the Company is generally required to provide 30 days’ notice, and pay any incentive compensation earned but unpaid as of the date of termination for any fiscal year prior to the year in which such termination occurs.
In the event of termination without cause by the Company or resignation for “good reason” by the executive, as defined in the agreements, the Company will pay a lump-sum severance payment equal to a specified number of months (ranged from 12 to 24) of the executive’s base salary, prorated lump-sum cash incentive compensation payments otherwise payable under the executive’s incentive compensation plan for the fiscal year of termination, and continued participation in the Company’s health care plan for a defined period of time (ranging from 6 months to lifetime participation as described in the “Benefits and Executive Perquisites” section above). Further, for unvested stock grants the terms of the grant agreements entitle the recipient to receive a prorated portion of the unvested stock based upon the number of full months of service since the date of grant divided by the total vesting timeframe. When the executive’s resignation is not associated with a change in control, “good reason” is defined as (i) a material reduction in the executive’s total compensation and benefit opportunity (other than a reduction made by the Board, acting in good faith, based upon the performance of the executive, or to align the compensation and benefits of the executive with that of comparable executives, based on market data); or (ii) a substantial adverse alteration in the conditions of the executive’s employment.
In the event of a termination without cause or resignation for “good reason” within one year after the effective date of a change in control, the agreements provide that the Company will pay similar termination payments as in the preceding paragraph but require the executive’s base salary to be paid for a higher number of specified months (ranging from 24 to 36) and a lump-sum payment based on the average incentive compensation earned by the executive for the five fiscal years immediately preceding the termination (except that in Dr. London’s case, he is also entitled to such termination payment if he voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason within one year after the effective date of a change in control). Further, the terms of the grant agreements entitle the recipient to receive all of their unvested stock awards upon termination without cause or resignation for “good reason” within one year after the effective date of a change in control. In the event of a change in control, “good reason” is defined as (i) a substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of the executive’s position or responsibilities from those in effect on the day before the change in control date; or (ii) a change in the geographic location of the executive’s job by more than 50 miles from the place at which such job was based on the day before the change in control date.
The table below delineates the benefits upon separation for each NEO with an agreement as of the date of this proxy statement under the scenarios as described above:

The agreements for Dr. London and Mr. Mutryn include partial protection against excise taxes payable under IRC section 280G in the event of termination only after a change in control (a one-time payment of two-thirds of the excise tax to the executive up to a limit of $500,000). Since these agreements were put in place in 2007, the Compensation
48
COMPENSATION TABLES
Committee decided not to include this term in any new agreements, and it is therefore not included in the agreements with other executive officers.
The agreements also restrict each executive officer’s rights to compete with the Company or to offer employment to Company employees following termination.
No changes to existing agreements have been made since the beginning fiscal year 2017.
Ms. Gray does not currently have an agreement, but the Compensation Committee anticipates completing an agreement with her during fiscal year 2018. Until such time as an agreement is implemented, standard Company policy applies. For Ms. Gray’s position, this policy provides for six month’s salary upon involuntary separation without cause.
Calculations for various termination scenarios are included in the “Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control” section below.
Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control
The table below reflects the amount of compensation payable to each NEO upon termination of employment under various termination scenarios based on the severance agreement, where applicable, and the benefits described in the “Severance and Change in Control Benefits” section above. The tables show the amount of compensation payable to each NEO upon voluntary termination (other than for “good reason”) or retirement not in connection with a change in control, upon termination by the Company without cause or by the NEO for “good reason” not in connection with a change in control, and upon termination by the Company without cause or by the NEO for “good reason” (or, in the case or Dr. London, any reason) following a change in control. The amounts shown assume, for illustrative purposes, that such termination was effective as of June 30, 2017, and therefore include amounts earned through such date, and are estimates of the amounts which would be paid to the NEOs upon termination. The actual amounts to be paid can be determined only at the time of the actual separation from the Company.

COMPENSATION TABLES
(2) |
Assumes that Dr. London is entitled to receive lifetime medical benefits as previously described, and that Messrs. Asbury, Mengucci, and Mutryn are entitled to receive continuation of health benefits following the date of separation for reasons other than voluntary termination or retirement. For Dr. London, the table value therefore represents the present value (using a discount rate of 2.48%) of continued current medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage less the estimated portion of the cost, plus the amount required to cover all estimated applicable local, state and federal income and payroll taxes imposed with respect to such payments over Dr. London’s expected life span (based upon IRS Life Expectancy Tables). For Messrs. Asbury, Mengucci, and Mutryn, the table value represents the total values of continued current medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage over the duration of the coverage period, less the executive’s current portion of the cost, plus the amount required to cover all estimated applicable local, state and federal income and payroll taxes imposed with respect to such payment. |
(3) |
Represents the value of monies deferred into the non-qualified retirement plan during employment, plus investment gains and losses, that would be payable upon termination. |
(4) |
Represents the value of all Company contributions paid into the non-qualified retirement plan on behalf of the executive officer during employment that would be payable upon termination. In the event of termination for “Good Reason” or without cause within one year after the effective date of a Change in Control, all unvested Company contributions would vest. |
(5) |
Based on the number of RSUs that would vest and the terms of RSU grants as described in the “Severance and Change in Control Benefits” section, multiplied by the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock as of June 30, 2017. For the performance-based grants made in September 2014, September 2015, and September 2016, the maximum number of RSUs for which the measurement periods were not complete would result upon a change in control. |
(6) |
As described above under “Severance Agreements,” two named executive officers have legacy entitlements to partial protection against IRC section 280G excise taxes in the event of termination after a change in control. Specifically, their severance agreements provide for a one-time payment to the executive equal to the lesser of two-thirds of the excise tax to the executive and $500,000. Based on the assumptions used in the preparation of the table, no payments would be due to the executives under this termination scenario. |
(7) |
Assumes that the executive officer resigned for “good reason” or was terminated without cause within one year after a change in control. Dr. London is entitled to this payment if he voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason within one year after a change in control. Ms. Gray would be entitled to the cash severance only upon termination without cause by the Company. |

Equity grants are made in the form of RSUs expressed as a dollar value, in an amount established from time to time by the Compensation Committee. Such RSU awards are made on the date of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders at which time such election occurs, based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on that date. Under the Company’s Director Stock Purchase Plan (DSPP), Directors may also elect to receive RSUs in lieu of up to one hundred percent of their annual cash retainer, with such election to be made prior to the commencement of the effective calendar year. The number of issued RSUs is based on the fair market value of the stock on the date of purchase. |
(2) |
The base number of meetings for the Board and each applicable committee is up to 4 meetings per Fiscal Year. |
(3) |
Members of the Executive Committee are compensated on a per meeting basis. |
Dr. London and Mr. Asbury received no separate compensation for their service as directors, except that they were eligible to be reimbursed for incurred expenses associated with attending meetings of the Board and its committees, such as when meetings were conducted at offsite locations.

The amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC 718 for awards of stock in fiscal year 2017 under the terms of the Company's 2016 Stock Incentive Plan. The grant date fair value per share is the closing price for the Company's stock on the November 17, 2016 grant date ($124.20). For fiscal year 2017, the Company awarded 1,007 RSUs to Directors Daniels, Gilmore, Jews, Johnson, Pavitt, Phillips, Revoile, and Wallace with a grant date fair value of $125,069 each. The outstanding number of unvested RSUs held by each director as of June 30, 2017 was as follows: Director Daniels 504; Director Gilmore 504; Director Jews 504; Director Johnson 504; Director Pavitt 504; Director Phillips 504; Director Revoile 504; Director Wallace 504. |
The Committee has also adopted stock ownership requirements for outside members of the Board to align the interest of shareholders and directors. The requirement is based on five times the value of their annual retainer of $120,000, converted annually on December 1st to a whole number of shares based on the 90 day average price of CACI stock. Until the director holds the required number of shares, he is limited with respect to the number of shares he is allowed to sell, and is only allowed to sell one-half of vested RSUs for the purpose of covering the tax burden caused by the vesting; the other one-half that must be retained is used to determine the interim ownership requirement until the full number of shares is reached, with each successive vesting being added to the prior interim requirement in order to establish the new requirement. Only fully owned shares count in the measurement; unvested restricted stock units do not count, nor do any other unvested and/or unexercised instruments. The penalty for non-compliance is that the director is required to participate in the DSPP with 100 percent of his earned annual cash retainer and committee fees going toward the quarterly purchase of CACI stock, until such time as he meets the required holding level.
Stockholdings are measured annually as of December 1st to determine compliance with the ownership requirement. For the compliance checkpoint on December 1, 2016, this requirement translated into a requirement to hold 2,079 fully owned shares for Messrs. Daniels and Jews, and 3,472 fully owned shares for all other outside directors. The required ownership level will continue to be reviewed annually by the Committee to ensure that it provides enough incentive to properly align the interests of the outside directors with those of the Company’s shareholders.
All outside directors currently meet their required stock ownership requirement.

The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the approval of all audit and non-audit services that are to be performed by the Company’s independent auditors. This policy generally provides that the Company will not engage its independent auditors to render audit or non-audit services unless the service is specifically approved in advance by the Audit Committee or the engagement is entered into pursuant to one of the pre-approval procedures described below. All such audit services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
From time to time, the Audit Committee may pre-approve specified types of services that are expected to be provided to the Company by its independent auditors during the next 12 months. Any such pre-approval is detailed as to the particular services or type of services to be provided and is also generally subject to a maximum dollar amount.
The Audit Committee has also delegated to the chairman of the Audit Committee the authority to approve any audit or non-audit services to be provided to the Company by its independent auditors. Any approval of services by a member of the Audit Committee pursuant to this delegated authority is reported on at the next meeting of the Audit Committee. The Pre-Approval Policy is set forth on the Corporate Governance page of our website at www.caci.com.

AUDIT INFORMATION
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2017
In accordance with the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee of the Board assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices of the Company. The Audit Committee Charter was first adopted by the Board in June 1994 and has been reviewed annually and amended as necessary since that date. Each member of the Audit Committee qualifies as “independent” in accordance with Rule 10A-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act and the requirements of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, Sections 303A.01, 303A.02, 303A.06, and 303A.07. In fulfilling its responsibilities as set forth in the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee has accomplished the following:
1. |
It has reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited financial statements with management, including discussions regarding critical accounting policies, financial accounting and reporting principles and practices, the quality of such principles and practices, the reasonableness of significant judgments and estimates, and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; |
2. |
It has discussed with the independent auditors the quality of the financial statements, the clarity of the related disclosures, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and other items required to be discussed under Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees; |
3. |
It has received from the independent auditors written disclosures regarding the auditors’ independence required by PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence, and discussed with the independent auditors any matters affecting their independence; and |
4. |
Based on the review and discussions described in subparagraphs (1) through (3) above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 for filing with the SEC. |
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with the Company’s By-laws and Guidelines, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, has nominated the following ten persons for reelection to serve as members of the Board until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until a successor has been elected and qualified, or until the director’s earlier death, resignation or removal:
Nominees
J.P. London |
Michael A. Daniels |
James S. Gilmore III |
Charles P. Revoile |
Gregory G. Johnson |
William Scott Wallace |
James L. Pavitt |
William L. Jews |
Warren R. Phillips |
Ken Asbury(1) |
(1) |
Under his employment agreement, if Mr. Asbury no longer serves as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, terminates his employment for any reason or provides notice to the Company regarding such a termination, he shall resign from the Board. |
Unless instructed otherwise, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote the shares of common stock represented by the proxy FOR the election of the ten nominees listed above. In the event that any nominee becomes unavailable or unwilling to serve as a member of our Board, the proxy holders will vote in their discretion for a substitute nominee.
You can find more information about the leadership skills and other experiences that caused the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board to determine that these nominees should serve as directors under “Board of Directors” on page 5 of this proxy statement. Information about our nominating procedures and other corporate governance matters can be found under “Corporate Governance” on page 11 of this proxy statement.
Required Vote
A majority of the votes properly cast for a director nominee is sufficient to elect such director (meaning the number of shares voted “for” a director nominee must exceed the number of shares voted “against” such director nominee). Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose, and will have no effect on the election of nominees.
The election of directors is deemed a non-routine matter under NYSE rules and a beneficial owner’s nominee will not be able to vote on the election of directors without instructions. We encourage all beneficial owners to provide voting instructions to such parties to ensure that their shares are voted at the Annual Meeting.
CACI Recommendation
Our Board recommends a vote “FOR” the election to the Board of each of the above mentioned nominees.
56
In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we provide our shareholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on a nonbinding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in this proxy statement. While this vote is advisory, it will provide information to our Compensation Committee regarding investor sentiment about our compensation principles and objectives. We urge you to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 21, compensation tables and related narratives appearing in this proxy statement for more information regarding the compensation of our named executive officers.
The vote on this resolution is not intended to address any specific element of compensation; rather, the vote relates to the philosophy and structure of our compensation program for our named executive officers as well as the overall compensation of those officers, as described in this proxy statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The vote is advisory, which means that the vote is not binding on the Company, our Board or the Compensation Committee. To the extent there is any significant vote against our named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address the concerns of shareholders.
Our Board and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders. At the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders approved our fiscal year 2016 named executive officers’ compensation, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and compensation tables, as well as the other narrative executive compensation disclosures contained in the definitive proxy statement for our 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Our shareholders approved the resolution on executive compensation with over 99% of shares being cast in favor of our executive compensation. Accordingly, we ask our shareholders to vote on the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that the Company’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion.”
Required Vote
On this non-binding matter, a majority of the votes properly cast on this matter (meaning the number of shares voted “for” this matter must exceed the number of shares voted “against” this matter) is necessary for the matter to be approved. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose, and will have no effect on the vote for this proposal.
A shareholder’s advisory vote on executive compensation is deemed a non-routine matter under NYSE rules and a beneficial owner’s nominee will not be able to vote on executive compensation without instructions. We encourage all beneficial owners to provide voting instructions to such parties to ensure that their shares are voted at the Annual Meeting.
CACI Recommendation
The Board recommends a vote FOR the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement.
57
Ernst & Young LLP currently serves as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and that firm conducted the audit of the Company’s accounts for fiscal year 2017. The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to conduct an audit of the Company’s accounts for fiscal year 2018.
Selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required to be submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Company for ratification. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires the Audit Committee to be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the audit work of the independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Board of Directors is submitting this matter to the shareholders as a matter of good corporate practice.
Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Required Vote
A majority of the votes properly cast on this matter (meaning the number of shares voted “for” this matter must exceed the number of shares voted “against” this matter) is necessary for the matter to be approved. Because this is a “routine matter” under NYSE rules, a beneficial owner’s nominee, such as a broker, may vote on the ratification of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm without instruction from their beneficial owners. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose, and will have no effect on the vote for this proposal. If the shareholders fail to vote in favor of the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain Ernst & Young LLP and may retain that firm or another without re-submitting the matter to the Company’s shareholders. Even if shareholders vote in favor of the appointment, on an advisory basis, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and the shareholders.
CACI Recommendation
The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2018.
58
In addition to providing stockholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on executive compensation, the Company is providing stockholders with a non-binding, advisory vote on whether the advisory vote on executive compensation should be held every one, two or three years as required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act.
The Board has determined that an advisory vote to approve executive compensation that occurs every year is appropriate for the Company and its shareholders and recommends that the shareholders approve holding an advisory vote every year. Since 2011, we have held annual advisory votes on executive compensation, consistent with the vote of our shareholders, and the Board believes that holding an annual advisory vote allows shareholders to provide direct and immediate input on the Company’s executive compensation program.
Required Vote
On this non-binding matter, the Board and Compensation Committee will review and consider the plurality of votes cast when determining the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose, and will have no effect on the vote for this proposal.
The advisory vote on the frequency of future votes on executive compensation is deemed a non-routine matter under NYSE rules and a beneficial owner’s nominee will not be able to vote on this proposal without instructions. We encourage all beneficial owners to provide voting instructions to such parties to ensure that their shares are voted at the Annual Meeting.
CACI Recommendation
The Board recommends a vote FOR a frequency of “One Year” for future votes on the compensation of our named executive officers.
59
Proxy Materials
The proxy materials include:
|

If you would like to receive a paper or email copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials in the Notice. Your election to receive proxy materials by mail or email will remain in effect until you revoke it.
Management Proposals
At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to:
|
1. |
Elect the ten nominees named in the proxy statement to the Company’s Board of Directors; |
|
3. |
Ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2018; |

|
5. |

60
ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION
All shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 18, 2017 may vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting.
As of the Record Date, there were 24,508,649 shares of common stock outstanding. A complete list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination from November 3, 2017 through November 15, 2017 for any purpose related to the Annual Meeting.
Shareholder of Record or Beneficial Owner
If your shares are registered directly with Computershare, N.A., our transfer agent, then you are the “shareholder of record” of the shares. If your shares are held in an account at a broker, bank, trust or other similar organization, then you are a “beneficial owner” of the shares. Most of our shareholders are beneficial owners of their shares.
There are several distinctions in how shareholders receive information and vote their shares that you should be aware of and we have described such differences in the proxy materials.
Voting at the Annual Meeting
Shareholders of record can receive a ballot and vote when they arrive at the Annual Meeting. Beneficial owners must obtain a legal proxy from the organization that holds your shares prior to voting at the Annual Meeting.
Via the Internet. You may submit a proxy or voting instructions over the Internet by going to www.proxyvote.com.
By Telephone. You may submit a proxy or voting instructions over by telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903 and following the instructions.
By Mail. If you received your proxy materials by mail, you may vote by proxy by filling out the proxy card and sending it back in the envelope provided.
Note that shares represented by properly signed and returned proxies will be voted in accordance with their instructions. In the absence of any instructions, properly signed and returned proxies will be voted in accordance with management’s recommendations.
Changing your Vote
You may change your vote at any time prior to the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting by:
|
• |
submitting a new proxy or voting instructions at a later date; |
|
• |
providing a written notice of revocation to the Company’s Secretary, if you are a registered shareholder; or |
|
• |
attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person after following the voting procedures outlined above. |
Note that beneficial owners must follow your nominee’s instructions to revoke your proxy or vote at the Annual Meeting and, for both shareholders of record and beneficial owners, attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request or vote in person at the Annual Meeting.
61
ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION
Vote Standard
In order to pass, each proposal (other than Proposal 4) must receive a majority of votes properly cast on that proposal. With respect to Proposal 4, a plurality of the votes cast will determine the shareholders’ preferred frequency for future votes on executive compensation. Under current NYSE interpretations, abstentions and broker non-votes will not count as votes cast or as expressing any preference. Brokers and other nominees are permitted under NYSE rules to vote on Proposal 3 without obtaining instructions from their beneficial owners. However, they are not permitted to vote without instruction regarding either the election of directors or Proposals 2 and 4.
Quorum
The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Both abstentions and broker non-votes (described below) are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.
Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions
Broker non-votes occur when a broker is not permitted to vote on a matter because a beneficial owner has not provided instructions. These matters are referred to as “non-routine” matters. All of the matters scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting are “non-routine,” except for the proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year 2018. In tabulating the voting result for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered voting power present or votes cast with respect to that proposal. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any matter being voted on at the Annual Meeting.
Abstentions are considered voting power present at the Annual Meeting but are not considered votes cast and thus will not affect the outcome of any matter being voted on at the Annual Meeting.
Additional Matters
We are not aware of any other business to be presented at the Annual Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting. If, for any reason, any of the nominees is not available as a candidate for director, the persons named as proxy holders will vote your proxy for such other candidate or candidates as may be nominated by the Board.
Attendance at the Annual Meeting is limited to shareholders as of the close of business on September 18, 2017, whether shares are held in “street name” or are “beneficially owned.” In order to be admitted to the Annual Meeting, you must present:
|
1. |
a valid photo identification or other satisfactory proof of identification; and |
|
2. |
sufficient proof of ownership or authorization, which may take the form of the proxy card for shareholders of record, a recent brokerage statement or letter from a bank or broker for beneficial owners or a letter from a shareholder of record certifying your status as an authorized representative. |

ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION
Cameras, including cell phones or other devices with photographic capabilities, and any other video or audio recording devices, are not permitted to be used at the Annual Meeting. Please refrain from use of cell phones at the Annual Meeting as well.
Voting Results
We expect to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and publish final voting results on the Investor Relations section of our website at www.caci.com. We also expect to disclose the final voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days of the Annual Meeting.
Householding
We have adopted a procedure, approved by the SEC, called “householding.” Under this procedure, we deliver a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials to multiple shareholders at the same address, unless we have previously received contrary instructions from one or more shareholders. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of any of these materials to a shareholder upon written or oral request to: CACI International Inc, 1100 North Glebe Road, Arlington, Virginia 22201, Attn: J. William Koegel, Jr., Corporate Secretary, telephone 703-841-7800. Shareholders at the
same address who are receiving multiple copies of our proxy materials may contact us using either of these methods to request delivery of a single copy.
Shareholders who hold shares in street name (as described above) may contact their bank, broker or other nominee record holder to request information about householding.
Solicitation
We will bear the costs of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting and have retained Morrow & Co., LLC to assist in soliciting proxies at a fee not to exceed $8,500, plus expenses. We may also reimburse banks, brokers, nominees, and other fiduciaries for postage and reasonable clerical expenses incurred by them in forwarding the proxy material to their principals. Proxies also may be solicited without extra compensation by certain officers, directors and other employees of the Company, by telephone or telegraph, by personal contact, or by other means.
Shareholder Proposals for 2018 Annual Meeting
Proposals for the 2018 Proxy Statement: Shareholders may present proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at the 2018 Annual Meeting by submitting their proposals in writing to the Company’s Secretary in a timely manner. For a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for our 2018 Annual Meeting, the Company’s Secretary must receive the written proposal no later than June 7, 2018.

In addition, shareholder proposals must also comply with all requirements and regulations of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
Proposals for the 2018 Annual Meeting: Shareholders who wish to present a proposal for consideration at the 2018 Annual Meeting, but do not intend for the proposal to be included in our proxy statement, must follow the advance notice provisions of our By-laws. Our By-laws require that such proposals be delivered to the Company’s Secretary in a timely manner and contain information related to the shareholder and proposal.
