Business Highlights

Business Developments

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Free Cash Flow may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies in our industry and are not recognized measures under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP. A reconciliation between these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP can be found in Appendix A to this proxy statement.

Returning Cash to Stockholders

During fiscal 2013, we declared and paid the following dividends:



Record Date	Payable Date	Amount per Share	Type

November 13, 2012	November 30, 2012	$0.09	Regular
February 11, 2013	February 28, 2013	$0.09	Regular

We expect to declare and pay regular quarterly cash dividends in the future; however, the actual declaration of any such future dividends and the establishment of the per share amounts, record dates, and payment dates are subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors, which will take into consideration future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements, and other factors.

Executive Compensation Highlights


•	Our executive compensation philosophy is centered on our use of a partnership-style culture and compensation model, which fosters internal collaboration through a single profit center and a firm-wide compensation pool.


•	Our executive compensation program during fiscal 2013 was structured so that each of our executives is assigned to one of six cohort levels (with a separate and distinct level assigned to our chief executive officer) and all executives within the same level receive the same compensation.


•	Effective fiscal 2014 as part of our Vision 2020 strategy, we have restructured our cohort levels from six to nine to better reflect the distinct roles and responsibilities of our executives. All executives within each level will receive the same compensation.


•	In connection with this restructuring, our Board of Directors may in fiscal 2014 make additional changes to our long-term incentive compensation programs to reinforce executive ownership culture and better align incentives with stockholders' interests.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY PROCEDURES

The Board of Directors is soliciting proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on August 1, 2013, beginning at 8:00 a.m. (EDT) at The John C. Newman Auditorium, located in our offices at 8283 Greensboro Drive, McLean, VA 22102. This proxy statement and the accompanying materials are being mailed to stockholders beginning June 10, 2013.

We will bear all costs of soliciting proxies. Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, we have elected to deliver a notice of Internet availability of proxy materials to stockholders and provide Internet access to those proxy materials. Stockholders may obtain paper copies of the proxy materials free of charge by following the instructions provided in the notice of Internet availability of proxy materials.

Unless the context otherwise indicates or requires, as used in this proxy statement, references to: (i) the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or our “company” refer to Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation, its consolidated subsidiaries and predecessors; (ii) “Booz Allen Holding” refers to Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation exclusive of its subsidiaries; (iii) “Booz Allen Hamilton” refers to Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., our primary operating company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Booz Allen Holding; (iv) “our Board” or “the Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company; (v) “stockholder” means holders of our common stock; (vi) “fiscal,” refers to our fiscal years ended March 31 and (vii) “you,” “your,” “yours” or other words of similar import in this proxy statement refers to stockholders entitled to vote on the matters to be presented at the annual meeting.

The Purpose of the Annual Meeting

At the annual meeting, stockholders will act upon the matters set forth in the notice of meeting, which includes the election of directors and the ratification of the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Dr. Ralph Shrader will also present information about the Company’s performance during fiscal 2013 and will answer questions from stockholders.

Outstanding Shares

Holders of the following classes of the Company’s common stock are entitled to vote at the annual meeting: Class A common stock, Class C restricted common stock and Class E special voting common stock. On June 10, 2013, 136,901,397, 1,036,876 and 7,244,207 shares of our Class A common stock, Class C restricted common stock and Class E special voting common stock, respectively, were outstanding.

Stockholders Entitled to Vote at the Annual Meeting

The Board has established the record date for the annual meeting as June 10, 2013. Only holders of record of the Company’s Class A common stock, Class C restricted common stock and Class E special voting common stock on the record date are entitled to receive notice of the meeting and to vote at the meeting.

Voting Procedures

If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, Computershare, you are considered a “stockholder of record” with respect to those shares. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or bank, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those shares, which are held in “street name.” If you are a stockholder of record of Class A common stock, Class C restricted common stock or Class E special voting common stock, you can vote your shares at the annual meeting by attending the meeting and completing a ballot or you can give a proxy to be voted at the annual meeting in one of three ways: (1) over the telephone by calling a toll-free number provided on the enclosed proxy card, (2) electronically via the Internet as described in the enclosed proxy card or (3) date, sign and complete the proxy card and return it in the enclosed envelope, which requires no postage stamp if mailed in the United States. If you are a beneficial owner of Class A common stock, you can vote your shares at the annual meeting by attending the meeting in person, if you have requested and received a legal proxy from your bank or broker which you must bring with you to the meeting, or you can give a proxy to be voted at the annual meeting in one of three ways: (1) over the telephone by calling a toll-free number provided on the enclosed proxy card, (2) electronically via the Internet as described in the enclosed proxy card or (3) date, sign and complete the proxy card and return it in the enclosed envelope, which requires no postage stamp if mailed in the United States.

The holders of stock representing a majority of the voting power of all shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions will be treated as present for purposes of determining a quorum. Each share of Class A common

stock, Class C restricted common stock and Class E special voting common stock is entitled to one vote, and stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes for the election of directors.

If your shares are held by a broker in “street name,” your brokerage firm may vote your shares on certain “routine” matters if you do not provide voting instructions. The ratification of an independent registered public accounting firm is an example of a routine matter. If you do not provide voting instructions, your brokerage firm may either vote your shares on routine matters or leave your shares unvoted. When a brokerage firm votes its customers' shares on a routine matter without receiving voting instructions, these shares are counted both for establishing a quorum to conduct business at the meeting and in determining the number of shares voted for or against the routine matter. A brokerage firm cannot vote your shares on non-routine matters, such as the election of directors. If your brokerage firm has not received voting instructions on a non-routine matter, these shares will be considered “broker non-votes” to the extent that the brokerage firm submits a proxy. Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum to conduct business at the meeting but will have no effect on the outcome of the non-routine proposals.

For each of the proposals being considered at the annual meeting, approval of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the annual meeting represented either in person or by proxy at the annual meeting, except that directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes validly cast at the annual meeting.

As of the record date, an entity controlled by The Carlyle Group, or Carlyle, owned shares of our Class A common stock representing greater than 50% of the combined voting power of our Class A common stock, Class C restricted common stock and Class E special voting common stock. As a result, Carlyle owns sufficient shares of our voting common stock to assure the presence of a quorum for the conduct of the annual meeting and to assure the approval and adoption of the proposals in connection with which this proxy and the related materials are being delivered.

Revocation of Proxies

You may revoke your proxy before it is voted at the annual meeting by delivering a signed revocation letter to the Secretary at 8283 Greensboro Drive, McLean, VA 22102 or by submitting a new proxy, dated later than your first proxy, in one of the ways described above under “Voting Procedures.” If you are attending in person and have previously mailed your proxy card, you may revoke your proxy and vote in person at the meeting.

In accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, if no lead director has been selected to preside over the executive sessions of the non-management directors, a presiding director shall be selected among the non-management directors. Mr. Clare was appointed by the non-management directors to serve as the presiding director on May 23, 2013. The presiding director presides over executive sessions at which the Chairman is not present. At least annually, independent directors also meet in executive session during a regular Board meeting.

Directors are expected to attend each Board meeting, each meeting of the committees on which they serve, and the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. During fiscal 2013, the Board met eight times, including four regular meetings and four special meetings. The average director attendance at Board and Board committee meetings was 92% and 98%, respectively, during fiscal 2013. Each of our directors who served as a director during fiscal 2013, except for Mr. Holt, attended 75% or more of the aggregate total number of meetings of the Board held during the period in which he or she was a director. In addition, each of our directors who served as a director during fiscal 2013 attended 75% or more of the total number of meetings held by all Board committees on which he or she served. All directors then in office, except for Mr. Holt, attended the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on August 2, 2012.

The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are responsible for reviewing and amending these guidelines as they deem necessary and appropriate. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing the system of corporate governance of the Company. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are available without charge on the Investor Relations portion of our website, www.boozallen.com. This website also includes the Company’s Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, which is applicable to our directors and all employees, and the Company's Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, each of which was adopted by the Board and each of which may be accessed without charge. The Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers applies to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller and any other persons performing similar functions. The information found on the Company's website is not part of this Proxy Statement nor is it incorporated into any other filings the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Board Leadership Structure

As noted in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board has no policy with respect to the separation of the offices of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that it is important to retain its flexibility to allocate the responsibilities of the offices of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in any way that is in the best interests of the Company at a given point in time. The Board has concluded that it currently is in the best interests of stockholders for Dr. Shrader to serve as both our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that the combination of these roles enables the effective and efficient execution of the Company’s strategy by permitting the most senior executive of the Company, who has an in-depth understanding of, and is responsible for, the Company’s operations, with over 39 years of service to the Company and more than 40 years of industry experience, to work closely with the Board in establishing the overall strategy and direction of the Company, and to effectively communicate our strategy to our employees, stockholders, and clients.

In light of the uncertain market conditions surrounding our U.S. government business, we took proactive steps to reduce management ranks and overhead costs. The leadership and personal involvement of Dr. Shrader greatly enhanced our ability to make and successfully implement these difficult decisions within our collaborative, partnership culture, which is a core element of our operating model. He drove decision making to better align our executives' positions and compensation in light of current competitive and market data, and led the follow-on executive briefings to communicate the outcome and develop support for these changes. We expect these actions to improve near term performance and better position the Company for long term financial health and delivery of value to shareholders.

To maximize the effectiveness of management's approach, Dr. Shrader involved the Board in the early formative discussions of the Vision 2020 long-range strategy. In his role as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, he infuses directors' insight into management's on-going work in strategy development, organizational structure, and tactical execution of Vision 2020 changes. In times of challenge and change, Dr. Shrader's ability to lead the Board, top management, and Booz Allen employees and to engage stockholders has been vital.

Succession Planning and Talent Reviews

The Board is engaged in executive succession planning and talent reviews. On an annual basis, the Chief Executive Officer leads the Board in an in-depth discussion concerning Chief Executive Officer and senior management succession. This discussion occurs in an executive session of the Board outside the presence of the other management director. Chief Executive Officer succession is also discussed by the Board in an executive session outside the presence of any management directors. Management also updates the Board on key talent indicators such as recruiting and retention for the overall employee population throughout the year.

Risk Oversight

The Board and its committees play an important role in overseeing the Company's risk management processes, and risk management considerations form a regular element of the Board's dialogue with management. During the course of the year, the lead management official with responsibility for each of our major markets provides a comprehensive overview of the market, including risks and challenges. The identification and management of these risks is driven substantially by a risk matrix, which identifies risks and prescribes associated review and approval by management and the Board or its Executive Committee. The Board is also regularly updated by other elements of management, including the Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Controller, and Director of Internal Audit concerning significant risks facing the Company and processes that have been implemented to mitigate these risks. In addition to this dialogue between management and the entire Board, the Board's committees have more specific roles concerning elements of the Company's risk management processes. For example, the Audit Committee receives regular reports concerning the status of the Company's ethics and compliance program, its controls over internal controls over financial reporting, and significant communications from the Company's regulators. The Board's Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing risks related to the Company's compensations policies and practices, as well as its executive succession plans, while its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees risks arising from the Company's governance processes.

Annual Board Performance Assessment

Annually, the Board and each of its committees perform an assessment of their operations and effectiveness, and set goals for the future. The core of this process involves our Secretary interviewing each director individually. The comments of the directors are compiled and presented, as applicable, to the full Board or the appropriate committee. Each committee and the Board identify key matters to be addressed, and these matters become part of future agendas for the Board and its committees.

Board Independence

As a controlled company, as that term is defined under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, we are not required to have a majority of independent directors. The Board has determined that Messrs. Odeen, Gaumond and Johnson and Ms. Amble are independent under the independence criteria for directors established by the New York Stock Exchange, Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, and the independence criteria adopted by the Board. The independence criteria adopted by the Board are set forth in the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Selection of Nominees for Election to the Board

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends to the Board appropriate criteria for the selection of new directors based on the strategic needs of the Company and the Board, and periodically reviews the criteria adopted by the Board and, if deemed desirable, recommends to the Board changes to such criteria. The Board seeks members from diverse professional backgrounds who combine a broad spectrum of experience and expertise with a reputation for integrity. The Board does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity; however, it affirms the value placed on diversity and inclusion within the Company. Diversity is one of many factors the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers when recommending director nominees to the Board. The Committee defines diversity in an expansive way to be reflective of the diversity of the Company and representative of the clients it serves. Exceptional candidates who do not meet all of these criteria may still be considered. The Board seeks

members that have experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility, are, or have been, leaders in the companies or institutions with which they are, or were, affiliated, and are selected based upon the contributions they can make to the Company.

Stockholders wishing to nominate a candidate for director must provide written notice in care of the Secretary, to 8283 Greensboro Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102, not fewer than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting.

Director Orientation and Continuing Education

New directors are provided a three-stage orientation generally timed to coincide with our Board meetings as part of our effort to integrate them in their role as directors and familiarize them with the Company. Orientation sessions are led by members of management and are focused on various elements of our business strategy, client service offerings, internal business operations, and corporate governance among other areas. During the course of the year, representatives of management brief the Board on topics designed to provide directors a deeper understanding of various aspects of our business such as applicable legal developments, ethics and compliance programs and the evolving regulatory environment. In addition, directors are encouraged to participate in continuing education programs to better understand their duties and responsibilities.

Communications with the Board

Stockholders, or other interested third parties, who wish to contact our Board may send written correspondence, in care of the Secretary, to 8283 Greensboro Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102. Communications may be addressed to an individual director, to the non-management directors as a group, or to the Board as a whole, marked as confidential or otherwise. Communications not submitted confidentially, which are addressed to directors that discuss business or other matters relevant to the activities of our Board, will be preliminarily reviewed by the office of the Secretary and then distributed either in summary form or by delivering a copy of the communication. Communications marked as confidential will be distributed, without review by the office of the Secretary, to the director, or group of directors, to whom they are addressed. With respect to other correspondence received by the Company that is addressed to one or more directors, the Board has requested that the following items not be distributed to directors, because they generally fall into the purview of management, rather than the Board: junk mail and mass mailings, services complaints and inquiries, resumés and other forms of job inquiries, solicitations for charitable donations, surveys, business solicitations, and advertisements.

Board Committees

Our Board has four standing committees: an Executive Committee, an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The charter of each committee is available without charge on the Investor Relations portion of our website, www.boozallen.com. The following chart identifies the members and chair of each standing committee.

¹ Audit Committee Financial Expert

The following is a brief description of our committees.

The Executive Committee

Our Executive Committee is responsible, among its other duties and responsibilities, for assisting our Board in fulfilling its responsibilities. Our Executive Committee is responsible for approving certain corporate actions and transactions, including acquisitions of assets other than in the ordinary course of business and outside hires of certain senior officers or the termination of such employees. The members of our Executive Committee are Dr. Shrader (Chairman) and Messrs. Clare and Fujiyama. The Executive Committee did not meet during fiscal 2013.

The Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee is responsible, among its other duties and responsibilities, for overseeing our accounting and financial reporting processes, the audits of our financial statements, the qualifications and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and the performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm. Our Audit Committee reviews and assesses the qualitative aspects of our financial reporting, our processes to manage business and financial risks, and our compliance with significant applicable legal, ethical and regulatory requirements. Our Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of our independent registered public accounting firm.

The members of our Audit Committee are Messrs. Gaumond (Chairman) and Johnson and Ms. Amble, each of whom is an independent director as required by Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Mr. Odeen served as a member of the Audit Committee from the beginning of fiscal 2013 through February 1, 2013. The Board has determined that each member of our Audit Committee is financially literate and has determined that Mr. Gaumond is an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined under Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. Messrs. Gaumond and Johnson currently serve on the audit committees of two public companies (including us), and Ms. Amble currently serves on the audit committees of three public companies (including us). In accordance with our Audit Committee Charter, Messrs. Gaumond’s and Johnson’s and Ms. Amble’s obligations as members of other audit committees have been disclosed to the Board.

The Audit Committee met seven times during fiscal 2013.

The Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee is responsible, among its other duties and responsibilities, for reviewing and approving all forms of compensation to be provided to, and employment agreements with, the executives and directors of our company and its subsidiaries (including the Chief Executive Officer), establishing and reviewing the general compensation philosophy of our company and its subsidiaries, and reviewing, approving, and overseeing the administration of the employee benefits plans of our company and its subsidiaries. Our Compensation Committee also periodically reviews management development and succession plans.

The members of our Compensation Committee are Messrs. Odeen (Chairman), Clare and Fujiyama. Mr. Odeen is an independent director. Messrs. Clare and Fujiyama are not independent directors. As a controlled company, as that term is defined under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, we are not required to have an independent Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee charter requires that at least two members of the Compensation Committee must satisfy the requirements of “non-employee director” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. All of the members of our Compensation Committee currently satisfy these requirements.

The Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate any of its responsibilities to subcommittees as the Compensation Committee may deem appropriate, provided that the subcommittees are composed entirely of directors satisfying the independence standards then applicable to the Compensation Committee generally.

The Compensation Committee has not engaged a compensation consultant; however, the Compensation Committee is briefed by management who consults with Mercer HR Consulting, or Mercer, which provides executive compensation design and best practice data and assists us in determining market competitive positioning. During fiscal 2013, Mercer provided data analyses, market assessments regarding executive compensation, and counsel regarding proxy disclosure and preparation of related reports. Additionally, Mercer provided design guidance and subject matter expertise on the development of our new people model. This design and guidance focused on our career architecture including the definition of performance expectations. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of Mercer and concluded that Mercer's work for the Company does not raise any conflict of interest issues.

Each of our executive officers, who collectively comprise our Executive Management Committee, participates in the discussion and consideration of compensation to be awarded to all executives. See “Executive Compensation.” The Board, rather than the Compensation Committee, approves equity grants for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Compensation Committee met five times during fiscal 2013.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible, among its other duties and responsibilities, for identifying and recommending candidates to the Board for election to our Board (including candidates proposed by stockholders), reviewing the composition of the Board and its committees, developing and recommending to the Board corporate governance guidelines that are applicable to us, and overseeing Board and Board committee evaluations.

The members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Dr. Shrader (Chairman) and Messrs. Clare and Odeen. Mr. Fujiyama served as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee from the beginning of fiscal 2013 through February 1, 2013 at which point, Mr. Odeen joined the Committee. Mr. Odeen is an independent director. Dr. Shrader and Mr. Clare are not independent directors. As a controlled company, as that term is defined under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, we are not required to have an independent Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Under the terms of an amended and restated stockholders agreement, as amended, to which Booz Allen Holding, Explorer Coinvest LLC (an entity controlled by Carlyle), certain members of the management of Booz Allen Holding and certain other stockholders of Booz Allen Holding are party, subject to certain conditions and restrictions, a maximum of three nominees for election to our Board, who may be full-time employees of Carlyle, are to be designated by Carlyle and a maximum of two members of the Board, who must be full-time employees of Booz Allen Hamilton, are to be designated by Booz Allen Holding’s Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of the amended and restated stockholders agreement, as amended, Carlyle and our executive officers will be required to vote the voting shares over which they have voting control in favor of Carlyle’s and the Chief Executive Officer’s designees. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Related Person Transactions — Stockholders Agreement.” Mr. Holt has been designated for election by Carlyle.

Except as described above, there is no difference in the manner in which the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates a nominee for director designated by Carlyle or our Chief Executive Officer or recommended by a stockholder.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met three times during fiscal 2013.

Director Compensation

Directors who are employed by us or by Carlyle do not receive any additional compensation for their services as directors. For fiscal 2013, non-employee directors received an annual retainer of $100,000 and an annual equity award with a fair market value equal to $50,000. In addition, the chair of our Compensation Committee received an additional annual payment of $10,000, and the chair of our Audit Committee is entitled to receive an additional annual payment of $20,000. Directors may elect to receive all or a portion of their annual retainer and any additional payments for service as a chair in the form of restricted stock, which will be granted under our Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, which we refer to as our Equity Incentive Plan. Our directors do not receive additional fees for attending Board or committee meetings.

For fiscal 2013, we changed the timing of our annual retainer and annual equity award to coincide with each non-employee director’s term of service on the Board, or August 1 through July 31. As part of this transition, each non-employee director received a pro-rated retainer and equity award for the period from April 1, 2012 through July 31, 2012 as well as the regular annual retainer and annual equity award. The restricted stock awarded for the period of service from April 1, 2012 through July 31, 2012 vested in full on July 31, 2012. The restricted stock awarded for the period of service from August 1, 2012 through July 31, 2013 vests in equal installments on January 31, 2013 and July 31, 2013.

Ms. Amble joined our Board on June 12, 2012 and received pro-rated compensation for the period from June 12, 2012 through July 31, 2012.

This column represents the grant date fair value of the stock awards granted to our directors in fiscal 2013. Where the stock awards were the result of voluntary elections to receive cash retainers in stock, the value reflected in the Stock Awards column represents only the excess of the fair market value of the stock awards over the cash retainer amount paid if in the form of stock. The aggregate fair value of the awards was computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 using the valuation methodology and assumptions set forth in Note 18 to our financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, which are incorporated by reference herein, modified to exclude any forfeiture assumptions related to service-based vesting conditions. The amounts in this column do not reflect the value, if any, that ultimately may be realized by the director.

Director Ownership Guidelines

Equity ownership guidelines for all of our non-employee directors are in place to further align their interests to those of our stockholders. Each of our non-employee directors has five years from the later of commencement of service on the Board or adoption of the guidelines on February 23, 2012, to achieve equity ownership with a value equivalent to three times their annual retainer. In calculating a director’s ownership, Class A common stock, and vested in-the-money options and vested and unvested restricted stock issued under the Equity Incentive Plan will be considered owned by the non-employee director.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS

AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The current members of our Compensation Committee are Messrs. Odeen (Chairman), Clare and Fujiyama. Messrs. Clare and Fujiyama are employed by The Carlyle Group, an affiliate of Explorer Coinvest LLC, or Coinvest. Coinvest is a party to a stockholders agreement with Booz Allen Holding and other stockholders. Coinvest and The Carlyle Group are affiliates of TC Group V US, L.L.C., which is party to a management agreement with Booz Allen Holding and Booz Allen Hamilton pursuant to which TC Group V US, L.L.C. provides Booz Allen Holding and its

subsidiaries, including Booz Allen Hamilton, with advisory, consulting and other services for a fee. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Related Person Transactions — Stockholders Agreement,” and “— The Management Agreement.” No member of our Compensation Committee serves as a member of the board or compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board or Compensation Committee.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table indicates information as of June 3, 2013 regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock by:


•	each person, or group of persons, who is known to beneficially own more than 5% of any class of our common stock;


•	each of our directors;


•	each of the named executive officers; and


•	all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

The percentages shown are based on 136,892,879, 1,213,285, 1,036,876 and 7,244,207 shares of Class A common stock, Class B non-voting common stock, Class C restricted common stock and Class E special voting common stock outstanding as of June 3, 2013. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock, Class C restricted common stock and Class E special voting common stock are identical, except with respect to dividend and other distributions, vesting and conversion. Class A common stock, Class C restricted common stock and Class E special voting common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted on by our stockholders. The Class B common stock is non-voting common stock. Upon a transfer of Class B non-voting common stock and Class C restricted common stock, we will issue shares of Class A common stock to the transferee on a one-for-one basis. Class E special voting common stock underlies certain outstanding options. When each option is exercised and a share of Class A common stock is issued to the option holder in respect thereof, we will repurchase the underlying share of Class E special voting common stock.

The amounts and percentages owned are reported on the basis of the SEC’s rules governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. The SEC’s rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to each person who possesses, either solely or shared with others, the voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of those securities. The rules also treat as outstanding all shares of capital stock that a person would receive upon exercise of stock options or warrants held by that person that are immediately exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding those options for the purpose of computing the number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Under these rules, one or more persons may be a deemed beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed a beneficial owner of securities to which such person has no economic interest. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

Information with respect to beneficial ownership has been furnished by each director, executive officer, or beneficial owner of more than 5% of the shares of a class of our voting common stock. Except as otherwise noted below, the address for each person listed on the table is c/o Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., 8283 Greensboro Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

We adopted a written related person transactions policy pursuant to which related persons, namely our executives, directors and principal stockholders, and their immediate family members, are not permitted to enter into certain transactions, or materially modify or amend an ongoing transaction, with us, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000, without the consent of our Audit Committee or any designated member of the Audit Committee. Any request for us to enter into or materially modify or amend certain such transactions is required to be presented to our Audit Committee for review, consideration and approval. All of our directors and executive officers are required to report to our Audit Committee any such related person transaction. In approving or rejecting the proposed transaction, our Audit Committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the proposed related person transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances, the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction and, if applicable, the impact on a director’s independence. Under the policy, if we should discover related person transactions that have not been approved, our Audit Committee will be notified and will determine the appropriate action, including ratification, rescission or amendment of the transaction.

Related Person Transactions

Stockholders Agreement

In connection with the acquisition of Booz Allen Hamilton by Carlyle on July 31, 2008, Booz Allen Holding, Explorer Coinvest LLC, an entity controlled by Carlyle, certain members of the management of Booz Allen Holding and certain other stockholders of Booz Allen Holding entered into the stockholders agreement. Effective November 16, 2010, the stockholders agreement was amended and restated and, on June 12, 2012, the amended and restated stockholders agreement was further amended. While our second amended and restated bylaws do not limit the Board from increasing the number of directors, under the amended and restated stockholders agreement, as amended, the number of directors on the Board of Booz Allen Holding was set at a minimum of six directors and may be increased, by action of the Board, to not more than twelve directors. The number of directors on the Board is currently set at ten. Subject to certain conditions and restrictions, a maximum of three of the nominees for election to our Board, who may be full-time employees of Carlyle, are to be designated by Carlyle, through Coinvest, and a maximum of two members of the Board, who must be full-time employees of Booz Allen Hamilton, are to be designated by Booz Allen Holding’s Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of the amended and restated stockholders agreement, as amended, Carlyle and our executive officers will be required to vote the voting shares over which they have voting control in favor of Carlyle’s and the Chief Executive Officers’ designees. At such time as Carlyle, through Coinvest, ceases to own at least 40% of the economic interests in Booz Allen Holding represented by its issued and outstanding common stock, Carlyle and our executive officers will use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Board representation provisions of the amended and restated stockholders agreement, as amended, consistent with the reduced ownership position of Carlyle at that time.

Under the terms of the amended and restated stockholders agreement, as amended, Carlyle may compel each executive officer who is a party to the amended and restated stockholders agreement, as amended, to sell a certain number of securities issued by Booz Allen Holding in the event that Carlyle proposes to transfer securities issued by Booz Allen Holding to a third party purchaser.

Under the amended and restated stockholders agreement, as amended, in the event of any sale of shares of Class B non-voting common stock or Class C restricted common stock pursuant to the exercise of bring-along rights by Carlyle, certain transfers following an initial public offering, or pursuant to the exercise of registration rights (discussed below), such shares will be converted into shares of Class A common stock.

Carlyle has registration rights under the amended and restated stockholders agreement, as amended, with respect to 95,660,000 shares of Class A common stock that it owned as of March 31, 2013 and, in certain circumstances, other stockholders of Booz Allen Holding who are a party to the amended and restated stockholders agreement, as amended, may have the right, subject to certain exceptions, to request that certain securities (including shares of Class A common stock held by such stockholders and shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of options or upon conversion from Class B or Class C common stock) be registered. To the extent that Carlyle acquires shares of Class B or Class C common stock or options exercisable for shares of Class A common stock, it would have registration rights with respect to the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof. Booz Allen Holding has agreed to indemnify the stockholders that are a party to the amended and restated stockholders

agreement, as amended, and their affiliates from liabilities resulting from the registration of securities of Booz Allen Holding pursuant to the amended and restated stockholders agreement, as amended.

Booz Allen Holding has certain repurchase rights under the amended and restated stockholders agreement, as amended, with respect to Class A, Class B, Class C and Class E common stock and options issued to a management stockholder under the Equity Incentive Plan for up to nine months after the occurrence of certain events specified in the amended and restated stockholders agreement, as amended. Similar repurchase rights exist for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class E common stock and options held by other stockholders of Booz Allen Holding that become an employee, consultant or independent contractor for certain competitors of Booz Allen Hamilton.

The amended and restated stockholders agreement, as amended, includes a waiver by management stockholders of certain rights to receive payments or other benefits that would constitute a “parachute payment” made in connection with a “change in ownership or control” of a corporation, within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, as amended, which could reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of an excise tax on the management stockholder under Section 4999 of the Code or in the loss of any income tax deductions by Booz Allen Holding or the person making such payment under Section 280G of the Code. This waiver does not apply in certain circumstances, including at such time as Booz Allen Holding has publicly traded securities and where Booz Allen Holding obtains the requisite stockholder approval of such payments or the unaffiliated directors determine the waiver should not apply.

The amended and restated stockholders agreement, as amended, will terminate upon a sale or change of control of Booz Allen Holding or such time as more than 60% of its equity securities have been sold to the public.

Irrevocable Proxy and Tag-Along Agreements

In connection with the amendment and restatement of the stockholders agreement, Carlyle made a unilateral offer to each individual stockholder who was a party to the original stockholders agreement to grant such stockholder a new pro rata tag-along right on certain transfers by Carlyle to third-party purchasers. In exchange for this tag-along right, Carlyle has received an irrevocable proxy from each stockholder who entered into such agreement to vote such stockholders’ securities with respect to the election and removal of directors and to approve any company sale that has already been approved by the Board of Booz Allen Holding and the holders of a majority of our voting shares. This new tag-along right and proxy have been granted pursuant to separate irrevocable proxy and tag-along agreements entered into between Carlyle and each such individual stockholder and became effective on November 16, 2010. These arrangements will terminate at such time as Carlyle ceases to own at least 25% of the economic interests in Booz Allen Holding represented by its issued and outstanding common stock or such time as more than 60% of its equity securities have been sold to the public.

The Management Agreement and Indemnification Agreements

On July 31, 2008, Booz Allen Holding and Booz Allen Hamilton entered into a management agreement with TC Group V US, L.L.C., a company affiliated with Carlyle, or TC Group, pursuant to which TC Group provides Booz Allen Holding and its subsidiaries, including Booz Allen Hamilton, with advisory, consulting and other services. Booz Allen Holding pays TC Group an aggregate annual fee of $1.0 million for such services, plus expenses. Furthermore, in consideration for any additional investment banking services provided by TC Group and other services other than advisory and consulting services described above, TC Group is entitled to receive additional reasonable compensation as agreed by the parties.

The management agreement also provides that Booz Allen Hamilton will indemnify the TC Group and its officers, employees, agents, representatives, members and affiliates against certain liabilities relating to or arising out of the performance of the management agreement and certain other claims and liabilities. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements provide the directors and our executive officers with contractual rights to the indemnification and expense advancement rights provided under our second amended and restated bylaws, as well as contractual rights to additional indemnification as provided in the indemnification agreements.

We believe that the management and indemnification agreements are, in form and substance, substantially similar to those commonly entered into in transactions of like size and complexity sponsored by private equity firms. We further believe that the fees incurred by us under the management agreement are customary and within the range charged by similarly situated sponsors. In addition, from time to time and in the ordinary course of business and at arms-length, we engage other Carlyle portfolio companies as subcontractors or service providers and they engage us as

subcontractors or service providers. The cost and revenue associated with these related party transactions were $657 thousand and $739 thousand, respectively, for fiscal 2013.

The Acquisition

In connection with the acquisition of Booz Allen Hamilton by Carlyle, our current and former executive officers (or their related family trusts) received a combination of current and deferred cash consideration as well as stock and options in Booz Allen Holding. Of the overall cash consideration, $158.0 million was structured as an interest in the deferred payment obligation and $80.0 million was deposited into escrow to fund certain purchase price adjustments, future indemnification claims under the merger agreement and for certain other adjustments. The remainder of the cash consideration was paid on the closing date as part of the acquisition. The current and former executive officers (or their related family trusts) receive their pro rata share of any payments of the deferred payment obligation and any releases of funds held in escrow to selling stockholders.

As of March 31, 2013, there was approximately $81.3 million of the deferred payment obligation outstanding, which includes accrued interest of $1.3 million, with approximately $37.6 million of indemnified pre-acquisition claims outstanding against the deferred payment obligation that may offset the future amount paid back to selling stockholders should such claims settle unfavorably. The ultimate value of our current and former executive officers’ (or their related family trusts’) interests in the deferred payment obligation will not be known until all such claims are resolved.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis provides a detailed description of our executive compensation philosophy and programs, the compensation decisions the Compensation Committee has made under those programs and the factors considered in making those decisions. The following discussion of compensation arrangements of our named executive officers for fiscal 2013 should be read together with the compensation tables and related disclosures set forth below. Although this Compensation Discussion and Analysis focuses on our named executive officers for fiscal 2013, the structure of our compensation programs is consistent for all Executive and Senior Vice Presidents.

Our named executive officers for fiscal 2013 were:



Name	Title
Dr. Ralph W. Shrader	Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President
Samuel R. Strickland	Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer
Francis J. Henry, Jr.	Executive Vice President
Joseph W. Mahaffee	Executive Vice President
John D. Mayer	Executive Vice President
John M. McConnell	Executive Vice President and Vice Chairman

Compensation Philosophy

Our executive compensation programs are based on the core belief that:


•	Transparency and collaboration increase overall performance.


•	Executive performance must be measured over both a short- and long-term horizon in order to maximize stockholder value creation.


•	Although we are a corporation, we use a partnership-style culture and compensation model which fosters internal collaboration through a single profit center and a firm-wide compensation pool.

The compensation of our named executive officers is performance-based and centered around a single profit center and firm-wide compensation pool. As further described below, each of our executives (including the named executive officers), which we define to include our Executive Vice Presidents and Senior Vice Presidents, were assigned to one of six cohort levels (plus a separate and distinct level for our Chief Executive Officer), and all executives within each level are provided the same number of “points” and receive the same compensation. The separate level for our Chief Executive Officer is assigned 10% more points than executives in the highest cohort level, recognizing the Chief Executive Officer's unique role. Executives progress upward through the levels based on their competencies and performance over time. This distinctive system allows us to motivate our executives to act in the best interests of the firm through an emphasis on client service and by encouraging the rapid and efficient allocation of our people across markets, clients and opportunities.

Utilizing this philosophy, our executive compensation program has been designed to:


•	Attract, motivate and retain executives of outstanding ability to meet and exceed the demands of our clients;


•	Focus on optimizing stockholder value and fostering an ownership culture; and


•	Create appropriate firm-level rewards and penalties for exceeding or falling short of performance targets.

Setting Executive Compensation

Our compensation program allows us to attract and retain top tier talent and provide significant incentives for exceeding our performance targets, while also providing significant penalties for under-performance. The Chief Executive Officer, Chief Personnel Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer together recommend the target compensation for each level by reviewing historical compensation and considering factors such as projected financial performance, growth, and market conditions for the coming fiscal year. The recommendation is then reviewed with the Company's Executive Management Committee. The result is the dollar value per point multiplied by the number of points assigned to each executive to determine target compensation. Based upon their collective experience and reasoned business judgment, our Compensation Committee considers the recommendation from management and approves the final targeted monetary value per point. Sustained individual performance is rewarded through accelerated progression through the levels as evidenced in each executive's performance assessment.

Benchmarking Compensation

We use relevant quantitative and qualitative measures to evaluate compensation for the fiscal year based on overall performance objectives and broad market parameters to include:

•Peer Market Analysis (from proxy statements of peer companies); and


•	Technical Industry Market Survey Analysis (cross industry surveys for companies of similar size).

Our management consults with Mercer HR Consulting, which provides peer group analysis of market position and executive compensation design. For fiscal 2013, peer comparisons were performed against eleven companies which were selected based on similarities to the Company in size and/or industry as well as operational similarities. The selected companies were Accenture, ICF International, SAIC, ManTech, CACI International, IBM (Global Business Services), Lockheed Martin (Information Systems & Global Solutions), SRA International, Deloitte, KPMG, and PricewaterhouseCoopers. In addition, management obtains market analysis and executive compensation survey data from nationally recognized survey providers, including Towers Watson Top Management Survey and Towers Watson Professional Services Executive Survey. Salary, cash incentive compensation and long-term stock incentives are considered in these analyses; however, we do not use survey data to set compensation; instead, we use it to confirm that our compensation is within a competitive range.

Compensation Elements

Our executive compensation consists of the following components, which are designed to provide a mix of fixed and at-risk compensation that is heavily tied to the achievement of our short and long-term financial goals and designed to promote a long-term career with the Company:



Element	Objective
Base Salary	Reflects the requirements of the marketplace to attract and keep our executive talent
Annual Incentives	Rewards our executives for performance against key operational and financial targets
Long Term Equity Incentives	Rewards our executives for growing our Company over the long term and aligns their interests with our shareholders
Benefits	Provides for the health and welfare of our executives
Retirement Benefits	Promotes long term commitment of our executives to the Company and builds financial security

A substantial amount of each executive's total annual compensation opportunity, including base salary and annual incentives, is at-risk and is directly tied to our annual financial performance. Our Chief Executive Officer and each of the other named executive officers' target annual compensation mix is approximately 51% base salary and approximately 49% tied to our performance. The 49% is at risk based on annual performance targets and is delivered in a mix of cash and restricted stock as described below.

Base Salary

For fiscal 2013, base salary was set at $2,500 per point and paid monthly. The base salary per point has remained constant for the past 6 years, and is expected to remain the same for fiscal 2014. For fiscal 2013, each of our named executive officers earned the base salary set forth in the “Salary” column of the Summary Compensation Table.

Annual Incentive

The annual incentive portion of our executives' compensation is provided through our annual bonus program, which is delivered in cash and restricted stock, based on achievement of the Company's performance target metric with upward or downward adjustments for exceeding or falling below the targets. The performance target metric is

“Bonus EBITDA” (as defined below) and is set at or near the beginning of each fiscal year. The annual incentive is based on actual Bonus EBITDA as compared to the target Bonus EBITDA. Payment of the annual incentive payments at target levels would generally occur when actual Bonus EBITDA is equal to the target Bonus EBITDA. A portion of any variance between target and actual Bonus EBITDA is reflected as an adjustment to the pool of funds available for the annual incentive payment, or the bonus pool. The amount of the adjustment is determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. A positive variance between the target and actual Bonus EBITDA would generally result in an increase in the bonus pool and a negative variance would generally result in a decrease in the bonus pool.

Bonus EBITDA is defined as our consolidated earnings before subtracting interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-option based and other equity-based compensation expenses, management, transaction and similar fees paid to the principal stockholders or their affiliates, as reflected on our audited consolidated financial statements for such fiscal year, and adjusting for certain extraordinary and non-recurring items as determined by the Compensation Committee. We base the annual incentive portion of our executives' compensation on Bonus EBITDA, because we believe it is a direct reflection of the cash flow and operating profitability of our business and represents the element of our performance that executives can most directly impact through their management of the business.

Our Compensation Committee reviews the Bonus EBITDA result and approves any adjustments to the plan bonus pool based on year end operating results. The final bonus pool as approved by our Compensation Committee is distributed to our executives on a consistent per point basis.



FY13 Target Bonus EBITDA	$527.2 million
FY13 Actual Bonus EBITDA	$553.2 million

The target bonus pool for the achievement of fiscal year 2013 target Bonus EBITDA was $32.5 million. Based upon the actual results, the Compensation Committee approved a bonus pool of $45.7 million.

Annual Incentive - Cash Component

The cash component of the annual incentive is the same for each executive within the same level. For the named executive officers, 55% of the annual incentive is provided in cash with the remainder delivered in restricted stock as described below. Executives who retire or otherwise terminate employment before the issuance of the equity portion of the annual bonus and under circumstances that entitle them to a full or pro-rated bonus will be paid their annual bonus entirely in cash.

Annual Incentive - Equity Component

The equity component of the annual incentive award is granted in restricted stock and vests ratably over three years, subject to certain exceptions. The equity portion is intended to more closely align our compensation program with market practices and enable executives to own meaningful amounts of our company stock.

For the named executive officers, 45% of the annual incentive is delivered in the form of restricted stock. The Company determines the number of shares of restricted stock to be granted to each executive by multiplying the total annual bonus amount by 45% and then applying a 20% premium to reflect the decreased liquidity and increased risk associated with the restricted stock. The resulting amount is divided by the fair market value of our stock on the date of grant to determine the number of shares granted.

Annual Incentive - Fiscal 2013 Payments

The cash payments received by each of our named executive officers for fiscal 2013 is reflected in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table. The equity grants for fiscal 2012 performance granted in fiscal 2013 are reflected in this year's “Stock Awards” column of the Summary Compensation Table. The equity grants for fiscal 2013 performance granted in fiscal 2014 will be reflected in next year's “Stock Awards” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Total payments for fiscal 2013 for each of our named executive officers under the annual performance program are reflected below:



Name	Total Annual Incentive ($)	Amount Paid in Cash ($)	Amount to be Delivered in Restricted Stock¹ ($)
Dr. Ralph W. Shrader	1,113,210	612,266	601,133

Long Term Incentives

We believe that our executives should hold meaningful amounts of equity to align their interests to those of our stockholders, and, accordingly, long-term equity compensation is an important component of our compensation program. Our long-term incentive program consists of awards of stock options to our executives under the Equity Incentive Plan. We believe stock options further our objective of aligning the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders by providing our executives with a continuing stake in our long-term success and by rewarding them based on the future growth in our equity value. We award stock options only upon hire of an executive and/or upon promotion, so that each executive within the same level would receive the same number of options and total compensation. We do not grant stock options on an annual basis.

The terms of the options granted to our named executive officers under the Equity Incentive Plan were negotiated between members of management and Carlyle at the time Carlyle acquired a majority equity interest in our company. A portion of the options vest based on continued service and the remainder vest based on achievement of EBITDA and cumulative cash flow performance goals.

The EBITDA target for option vesting for fiscal 2013 was $413.8 million, with the annual target level increasing by 12% each year thereafter. The annual cash-flow target for fiscal 2013 before adjustment was $267.6 million, with future annual targets increasing by approximately 12% per year, and subject to upward or downward adjustments for changes in net revenue growth.

For purposes of the options, “EBITDA” is calculated in the same manner as Bonus EBITDA under the annual performance bonus program; and “cash flow” means (i) EBITDA for a fiscal year less (ii) the increase in adjusted working capital (accounts receivable (net) less accounts payable, less other accrued expenses) in the fiscal year (which may be a positive or a negative number) less (iii) any overruns in the annual budget for capital expenditures in the financial plan approved by the Board for that fiscal year. For options granted on or after February 23, 2012, vesting will be time-based over 5 years.

Benefits and Perquisites

Our employees are eligible to participate in a full complement of benefit plans. Our executives also participate in enhanced medical and dental plans, life insurance, AD&D and personal liability coverage at the Company's expense. Our executives receive perquisites including initiation fees for club memberships and reasonable dues on an annual basis, up to $15,000 per year for financial counseling, up to $7,500 every three years to update an estate plan, up to $3,000 for preparation of estate plans following relocation to a new tax jurisdiction and a one-time reimbursement of up to $5,000 for retirement financial planning. We believe that our executive benefits and perquisite programs are reasonable and commensurate with benefits and perquisites provided to executives of similarly situated companies within our industry, and are necessary to sustain a fully competitive executive compensation program. For more detail on the perquisites that our named executive officers receive, see footnote 6 to the “Summary Compensation Table” below.

Other Payments

Some of our executives received options in 2008 pursuant to our Officers' Rollover Stock Plan to replace

compensatory stock options previously granted by our predecessor. Holders of these options received dividend equivalent rights in connection with the payment of certain special dividends. The dividend equivalent rights entitle the executive to receive a cash payment on the option's fixed exercise date. The amount of the cash payment is based on the difference between adjustments made to the option exercise price in connection with the special dividends and the amount of the special dividends. The amount of the dividend equivalent payment credited for the two special dividends declared in fiscal 2013 is included in the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Table.

In connection with the payment of the $1.50 special dividend in fiscal 2013, holders of outstanding options granted pursuant to our Equity Incentive Plan received dividend equivalent rights. The dividend equivalent rights entitle the executive to receive, on the option's fixed vesting date, a cash payment based on the amount of the special dividend, subject to vesting of the related option. In connection with the payment of the $6.50 special dividend in fiscal 2013, holders of outstanding options granted in 2008 and 2009 pursuant to our Equity Incentive Plan received dividend equivalent rights. The dividend equivalent rights entitle the executive to receive, on the option's fixed vesting date, a cash payment based on the amount of the special dividend, subject to vesting of the related option. The amount of the dividend equivalent payment credited for the two special dividends declared in fiscal 2013 is included in the “Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table.

In connection with the payment of the $6.50 special dividend in fiscal 2013, holders of certain options granted in 2010 and later pursuant to our Equity Incentive Plan received an adjustment in their exercise price calculated in accordance with IRS rules and regulations based on a comparison of the closing price on the payment date (August 31, 2012) to the opening price on the next trading day (September 4, 2012) with the difference being the amount of the adjustment. The adjusted exercise price is reflected in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table.

Defined Contribution Retirement Plan and Other Retirement Benefits

We provide retirement benefits to our executives (including our named executive officers) in order to help them build financial security for retirement, while allowing them to direct the investment of their retirement savings as they choose. All employees, including our executives, are automatically eligible to participate in the tax-qualified Employees' Capital Accumulation Plan, or ECAP, our 401(k) plan. We fund contributions to ECAP annually for each of our named executive officers. In addition to contributions made to the tax-qualified ECAP, executives receive a cash payment equal to a percentage of eligible compensation in excess of the eligible compensation limit of the Internal Revenue Code, plus an additional 23% investment incentive, which is intended to supplement the retirement plan contribution. Each executive also receives a cash payment that is equivalent to the annual tax-deferred contribution he or she is permitted to make to ECAP under the Internal Revenue Code.

We provide additional retirement benefits to our executives (including our named executive officers) in order to provide them with additional security in retirement and promote a long-term career with our company. Our executives participate in the Officers' Retirement Plan, under which the executive may retire with full benefits after a minimum of either (x) age 60 with five years of service as an executive or (y) age 50 with ten years of service as an executive. An eligible executive who retires and does not receive severance benefits is entitled to receive a single lump sum retirement payment equal to $10,000 for each year of service as an executive, pro-rated as appropriate, and an annual allowance of $4,000 for financial counseling and tax preparation assistance. Our retirees are also eligible to receive comprehensive coverage for medical, pharmacy and dental health care. The premiums for this health care coverage are paid by the Company.

Frequency of Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation

At the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, over 99% of the votes cast were in favor of our executive compensation structure and the stockholders elected to hold future votes on a three year cycle. The next advisory vote is scheduled for the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Executive Ownership Guidelines

Equity ownership guidelines for all of our executives are in place to further align their interests to those of our stockholders. Each of our executives has five years from the date he or she becomes an executive (or October 1, 2010, if earlier) to achieve equity ownership with a value equivalent to a multiple of his or her base salary. The applicable multiples for our named executive officers are set forth in the following table:



Named Executive Officers:		Ownership Guideline:
Chief Executive Officer		5x base salary
Other Named Executive Officers		3x base salary

In calculating an executive's ownership, Class A Common Stock, Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, and Class C Restricted Stock, vested in-the-money stock options and vested and unvested restricted stock issued under the Equity Incentive Plan, and all stock options issued under the Officers' Rollover Stock Plan will be considered owned by the executive.

Risk Assessment

This year, in connection with our own internal review, we contracted with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to conduct a risk assessment of our compensation programs in order to receive an external third-party perspective. Based on our approach of compensating our executives to foster the financial success of the Company as a whole and other elements of our compensation system, our Company's Executive Management Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board, with the information from the internal and external reviews, concluded that our executive compensation program does not encourage undue risk-taking.

Government Limitations on Reimbursement of Compensation Costs

As a government contractor, we are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation, or the FAR, which governs the reimbursement of costs by our government clients. FAR 31.205-6(p) limits the allowability of senior executive compensation to a benchmark compensation cap established each year by the Administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy under Section 39 of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 435). The benchmark cap applies to the five most highly compensated employees in management positions. When comparing senior executive compensation to the benchmark cap, all wages, salary, bonuses and deferred compensation, if any, for the year, as recorded in our books and records, must be included. The current benchmark compensation cap, effective after January 1, 2011 and as published in the Federal Register, is $763,029. Any amounts over the cap are considered unallowable and are therefore not recoverable under our government contracts. The FAR also limits the allowability of reimbursement for non-senior executive compensation. On December 31, 2011 the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (NDAA or Act) was enacted. The Act extends the current executive compensation cap on the five most highly compensated executives to cover all employees of Department of Defense contractors. To date, the FAR has not been amended to impose this limitation.

Policy on Recovering Bonuses in the Event of a Restatement

We have included provisions in our Annual Incentive Plan and our Equity Incentive Plan that provide us with the ability to impose the forfeiture of bonuses and equity compensation and the recovery of certain bonus amounts and gains from equity compensation awarded under those plans in the event of an accounting restatement due to material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirements under the securities laws with respect to individuals who engage in misconduct or gross negligence that results in a restatement of our financial statements, individuals subjected to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and, to the extent that, based on erroneous data, any award or payment is in excess of what would have been paid under the accounting restatement during the three-year period preceding the date on which a financial restatement is required, current or former executives, or as otherwise required under applicable laws or regulations. In addition, if an individual engages in certain other misconduct, we have the discretion to suspend vesting of all or a portion of any award and/or require the forfeiture or disgorgement to us of any equity award (including gains on the sale of the stock, if any) that vested, was paid or settled in the twelve months prior to or any time after the individual engaged in such misconduct.

Certain Change in Control Provisions

Options and restricted stock awarded under our Officers' Rollover Stock Plan and options granted under our Equity Incentive Plan prior to our initial public offering contain provisions that accelerate vesting in connection with certain change in control events. Under the Officers' Rollover Stock Plan and the Equity Incentive Plan, “change in control” is generally defined as the acquisition by any person (other than Carlyle) of 50% or more of the combined voting power of our company's then outstanding voting securities, the merger of our company if its stockholders immediately prior to the merger together with Carlyle do not own more than 50% of the combined voting power of the merged entity, the liquidation or dissolution of our company (other than in a bankruptcy proceeding or for the purposes of effecting a corporate restructuring or reorganization) or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of our company

to non-affiliates. Options and restricted stock granted under the Officers' Rollover Stock Plan vest upon a change in control. Vesting of options granted under our Equity Incentive Plan is accelerated only as a result of events that result in liquidity to Carlyle. These provisions were negotiated at the time of Carlyle's investment in our company and are designed to motivate management to assist our principal stockholders in achieving a favorable return on their investment in our company.

In the event of a change in control, unless the plan administrator determines otherwise, all time- vesting awards under the Equity Incentive Plan will fully vest and a pro-rated portion of outstanding performance-vesting awards will vest based on the performance achieved as of the change in control.

In addition, if during the five year period after a change in control our executives' retiree medical plan is terminated or modified in a manner that is materially adverse to our executives, our executives, including our named executive officers, will be guaranteed their existing benefits under the plan through the fifth anniversary of the change in control and receive at the end of the five-year period a cash payment equal to the excess of the actuarial cost of the executive's benefits under the plan that would be accrued on the company's financial statements on the fifth anniversary of the change in control in the absence of the termination or modification over the amount that is accrued on our financial statements on the fifth anniversary of the change in control giving effect to the termination or modification (but excluding the accrual on the payment itself).

Policies on Timing of Equity Grants

It is our policy not to time the granting of equity awards in relation to the release of material, non-public information. Accordingly, regularly scheduled awards are permitted to be granted at times when there is material non-public information. We expect that we will generally grant awards to new hires and promotion awards effective at the time of the next scheduled Compensation Committee or Board of Directors meeting, and annual awards in June. In addition, it is our policy not to grant equity awards with effect from, or with an exercise price based on market conditions as they existed on, any date prior to the date on which the party in which granting authority is vested (typically our Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors) takes formal action to grant them.

Effect of Accounting and Tax Treatment on Compensation Decisions

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a limit on the amount of compensation that we may deduct in any one year with respect to certain “covered employees,” unless certain specific and detailed criteria are satisfied. Performance-based compensation, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, is fully deductible if the programs are approved by stockholders and meet other requirements. As described above, all of our short-term non-equity incentive compensation is determined based upon the achievement of certain predetermined financial performance goals and follow criteria that generally permit us to deduct such amounts without being subject to limits under Section 162(m). Pursuant to applicable Treasury regulations, Section 162(m) does not apply to compensation paid or stock options or restricted stock granted under the compensation agreements and plans described in our initial public offering prospectus during the reliance transition period ending on the earlier of the date the agreement or plan is materially modified or the first stockholders meeting at which directors are elected during 2014. While we will continue to monitor our compensation programs in light of Section 162(m), our Compensation Committee considers it important to retain the flexibility to design compensation programs that are in the best long-term interests of our company and our stockholders, particularly as we continue our transition from a private to a public company. As a result, we have not adopted a policy requiring that all compensation be deductible and our Compensation Committee may conclude that paying compensation at levels that are subject to limits under Section 162(m) is nevertheless in the best interests of our company and our stockholders.

Other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code can also affect compensation decisions. Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, which governs the form and timing of payment of deferred compensation, imposes sanctions, including a 20% penalty and an interest penalty, on a recipient of deferred compensation that does not comply with Section 409A. Our Compensation Committee takes into account the potential implications of Section 409A in determining the form and timing of compensation awarded to our executives and strives to structure its nonqualified deferred compensation plans to meet these requirements.

Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code disallows a company's tax deduction for payments received by certain individuals in connection with a change in control to the extent that the payments exceed an amount approximately three times their average annual compensation and Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a 20% excise tax on those payments. As described above, options and restricted stock awarded under our Officers' Rollover Stock

Plan and options granted under our Equity Incentive Plan have or will contain provisions that accelerate vesting of all or a portion of the awards in connection with a change in control. To the extent that payments upon a change in control are classified as excess parachute payments, our company's tax deduction would be disallowed under Section 280G.

(4)	Options must be exercised between June 30 and September 15 in the year in which the option expires unless a named executive officer receives written consent from the administrator, in which case such options may be exercised through the end of the year in which they expire.

The options were granted pursuant to the Officers’ Rollover Stock Plan to replace compensatory stock options initially granted by our predecessor. In connection with special dividends paid to holders of our common stock in fiscal 2010 and 2013, in accordance with the terms of the Officers’ Rollover Stock Plan, the exercise price per share of each outstanding option was reduced in an amount equal to the reduction in the value of the common stock as a result of each dividend. Because the reduction in share value exceeded the exercise price for certain of the options granted under the Officers’ Rollover Stock Plan, the exercise price for those options was reduced to the par value ($0.01) of the shares issuable on exercise, and the holders became entitled to receive on the option’s fixed exercise date a cash payment equal to the excess of the reduction in share value as a result of the dividend over the reduction in exercise price, subject to vesting and forfeiture on the same

terms as the related option. To the extent they become vested, payments of such amounts to our named executive officers will be made as follows:

Pension Benefits Table

The Officers’ Retirement Plan is an unfunded defined benefit retirement plan that we maintain for our executives. Under the Officers’ Retirement Plan, if an executive retires of his or her own volition (and is not entitled to severance) after a minimum of either (x) age 60 with five years of service as an executive or (y) age 50 with ten years of service as an executive, he or she will be entitled to receive a single lump sum retirement payment equal to $10,000 for each year of service as an executive, pro-rated as appropriate. Currently all of our named executive officers are eligible to receive benefits under the Officers’ Retirement Plan upon retirement.



PENSION BENEFITS TABLE

(1)

The present value of accumulated benefits has been calculated in a manner consistent with our reporting of the Retired Officers’ Bonus Plan under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, using the Accumulated Benefit Obligation with the exception of the retirement rate assumptions. The amounts shown above reflect an assumption that each participant collects his benefit at the earliest age at which an unreduced benefit is available.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

In connection with the payment of each special dividend in fiscal 2010 and 2013, holders of certain options (including some of our named executive officers) granted pursuant to our Officers’ Rollover Stock Plan to replace compensatory stock options initially granted by our predecessor received dividend equivalent rights that entitle the executive to receive, on the option’s fixed exercise date, a cash payment based on difference between adjustments made to the option exercise price in connection with the dividend and the amount of the special dividend. This payment is subject to vesting and forfeiture on the same terms as the related option and is paid in the same calendar year as the related option is required to be exercised. For a description of these dividend adjustment payments, see footnote 4 to the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table above. Vested rights to these cash payments are reflected in the table below.

(1) Registrant contributions represent, for each vested stock option issued under the Officers’ Rollover Stock Plan held by the named executive officer on the record date with respect to each special dividend declared since the grant of the option, the difference between the value of the dividend paid and the amount by which the exercise price of the stock option was reduced. Amounts in this column are not included in the Summary Compensation Table.

(2) Mr. McConnell does not own any options issued under our Officers' Rollover Stock Plan.

Employment Arrangements and Potential Payments upon Termination or a Change in Control

We do not have employment or severance agreements with any of our executives. However, consistent with our Transition Policy, which deals with departures other than retirement, death, disability and terminations for cause, each named executive officer is eligible for transition pay equal to one month’s base pay per year of service as an executive, up to a maximum of twelve months’ base pay. Under the terms of our Transition Policy and Retirement Policy, all departure payments and benefits are contingent upon the executives’ signing of an agreement and general release.

Termination Payments

Officers’ Retirement Plan

If our named executive officers retire, they will each be entitled to receive a single lump sum retirement payment equal to $10,000 for each year of service as an executive, pro-rated as appropriate, and an annual allowance of $4,000 for financial counseling and tax preparation assistance. In addition, each of our named executive officers and their spouses will be entitled to receive employer-paid retiree medical and dental coverage for life.

Officers’ Rollover Stock Plan

If a named executive officer’s employment is terminated due to the executive’s death, any unvested stock options and restricted stock issued under the Officers’ Rollover Stock Plan will vest and become exercisable. If a named executive officer’s employment is terminated by us without cause, by reason of disability or in a “company approved termination,” awards under the Officers’ Rollover Stock Plan will continue to vest and be exercisable in accordance with the terms of the plan, subject to forfeiture if the named executive officer engages in competitive activity following the termination.

Stockholders Agreement

If a named executive officer’s employment is terminated for any reason, then we may repurchase the common stock that the executive holds and that was issued pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan at the price set forth in the Stockholders Agreement. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Related Person Transactions — Stockholders Agreement.”

Change in Control Protections

We do not have change in control agreements with any of our employees.

If a change in control occurs, the stock options issued under the Officers’ Rollover Stock Plan will vest. Under the Equity Incentive Plan, if a change in control occurs, outstanding service-vesting options will vest immediately prior to the change in control, unvested performance-vesting options that are scheduled to vest in the year of the change in control, or that are subject to vesting under a catch-up vesting provision, vest immediately prior to the change in control if certain performance conditions are satisfied in the change in control and, unless determined otherwise by our Compensation Committee, restricted stock will vest upon the change in control.

In addition, if during the five year period after a change in control our executives’ retiree medical plan is terminated or modified in a manner that is materially adverse to our executives, our executives, including our named executive officers, will be guaranteed their existing benefits under the plan during such five-year period and will receive a cash payment equal to the excess of the actuarial cost of the executive’s benefits under the plan that would be accrued on the company’s financial statements on the fifth anniversary of the change in control in the absence of the termination or modification over the amount that is accrued on our financial statements on the fifth anniversary of the change in control after giving effect to the termination or modification (but excluding the accrual on the payment itself).

The following table presents potential payments to each named executive officer as if the named executive officer’s employment had been terminated or a change in control had occurred as the last day of fiscal 2013. If applicable, amounts in the table were calculated using $13.44, the closing fair market value of our common stock on March 28, 2013. The actual amounts that would be paid to any named executive officer can only be determined at the time of an actual termination of employment or change in control and would vary from those listed below. The estimated amounts listed below are in addition to any retirement, welfare and other benefits that are available to our salaried employees generally.

(1)	Each named executive officer is eligible for transition pay under our Transition Policy equal to four months of base pay, plus one additional month for each year of service as an executive, up to a maximum of twelve months’ base pay.

(2)

This column includes the value of the equity with accelerated vesting calculated using $13.44, the closing fair market value of our common stock on March 28, 2013, and the value of the deferred cash payment due to the named executive officers as a result of the special dividends paid on July 29, 2009, December 11, 2009, June 29, 2012, and August 31, 2012 as described in footnote 4 to the Outstanding Equity at Fiscal Year-End Table and footnote (a) to the Other Compensation Table above. The accelerated vesting for a change in control is described in more detail under “Change in Control Protections.” In the event of death, all outstanding service-vesting and performance-vesting options immediately vest.


(3)	Each named executive officer has a $2 million life insurance policy. If the death was accidental, an additional $1.5 million would be paid. Survivors also receive one month’s base pay.

(4)

Includes present value of disability insurance payments that cover up to 60% of base salary and bonus with a maximum benefit of $25,000 per month ($300,000/year). The amounts in this column were calculated by valuing the benefit as a standard annuity benefit based on the incidence of disability, using assumptions consistent with FAS 87/106 accounting for our other benefit programs and, for the assumption of a rate of disability, the 1977 Social Security Disability Index table.

(5)

Amount includes actuarial present value of retiree medical benefits. The present value of accumulated benefits has been calculated in a manner consistent with our reporting of the Retired Officers’ Welfare Plan under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, using the Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation with an adjustment made to retirement age assumptions as required by SEC regulations.


(6)	Amount includes $30,000 outplacement assistance and retiree medical benefits.

(7)

Amount includes actuarial present value of up to $4,000 per year for financial counseling assistance and retiree medical benefits. The amounts in this column that represent the present value of the financial counseling allowance were calculated with the same assumptions we use to disclose our Retired Officers’ Bonus Plan, consistent with FAS 87, with an adjustment to the rate of retirement; the valuation is based on the discounted value of the full $4,000. The amounts in the column that represent the actuarial present value of retiree medical benefits were calculated as described in footnote 5 above. Includes a retirement gift of $10,000, which is grossed up for taxes. Mr. Henry's amount also includes the depreciated value of bestowed office furniture and associated transportation costs.


(8)	Benefits under the Officers’ Retirement Plan. This amount has been calculated using the methodology and assumptions described in footnote 1 to the Pension Benefits Table above.


(9)	Reflects the present value of the guaranteed benefits and cash payment of the actuarial cost of the executive’s benefits under the executives’ retiree medical plan, assuming that the plan was terminated during the five years following a change in control.


(10)	Mr. Henry retired on April 1, 2013.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Management has the primary responsibility for the Company's financial statements and accounting and reporting processes, including the systems of internal accounting control. The Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and issuing a report thereon.

The Audit Committee operates under a written charter, which it reviews annually and which is available free to charge on our website, www.boozallen.com. In accordance with its charter, the Audit Committee oversees each of management's and Ernst & Young LLP's performance of its respective responsibilities. As part of this oversight role, the Audit Committee meets throughout the year, separately and together, with each of management, the Company's internal auditors and Ernst & Young LLP. In addition, the Audit Committee has pre-approved all Fiscal 2013 audit and permissible non-audit services provided by Ernst & Young LLP, and the fees for those services.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management of the Company and Ernst & Young LLP, the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 (the “Audited Financial Statements”).

The Audit Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the matters required to be discussed under Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees.

The Audit Committee has: (i) considered whether non-audit services provided by Ernst & Young LLP are compatible with its independence; (ii) received the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young LLP required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding Ernst & Young LLP’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence; and (iii) discussed with Ernst & Young LLP its independence. The Audit Committee has reviewed significant audit findings prepared by Ernst & Young LLP, and those prepared by the Company's internal auditors as well as management's responses thereto.

Based on the reviews and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Audited Financial Statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PRE-APPROVAL OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR SERVICES

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit, audit-related, tax, and other services performed by the independent auditors. The Audit Committee pre-approves specific categories of services up to pre-established fee thresholds. Unless the type of service had previously been pre-approved, the Audit Committee must approve that specific service before the independent auditors may perform it. In addition, separate approval is required if the amount of fees for any pre-approved category of service exceeds the fee thresholds established by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has delegated to the chair of the committee pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services, provided that the chair must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. All fees described below were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF ACCOUNTANTS

The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as the independent auditors to perform an integrated audit of the Company for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. Ernst & Young LLP served as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013. Stockholder approval of the appointment is not required.

The Board believes that obtaining stockholder ratification of the appointment is a sound corporate governance practice. If the stockholders do not vote on an advisory basis in favor of Ernst & Young LLP, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to hire the firm and may retain Ernst & Young LLP or hire another firm without resubmitting the matter for stockholders to approve. The Audit Committee retains the discretion at any time to appoint a different independent auditor.

Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the annual meeting, available to respond to appropriate questions, and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR ratification of the appointment of

Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm

for the Company for fiscal year 2014.

OTHER BUSINESS

The Board is not aware of any other matters to be presented at the annual meeting. If any other matter proper for action at the meeting should be presented, the holders of the accompanying proxy will vote the shares represented by the proxy on such matter in accordance with their best judgment. If any matter not proper for action at the meeting should be presented, the holders of the proxy will vote against consideration of the matter or the proposed action.

PROPOSALS FOR 2014

Appendix A

Non-GAAP Measures

We publicly disclose certain non-GAAP financial measurements, including Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, or EPS, because management uses these measures for business planning purposes, including to manage our business against internal projected results of operations and measure our performance. We view Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS as measures of our core operating business, which exclude the impact of the items detailed below, as these items are generally not operational in nature. These non-GAAP measures also provide another basis for comparing period to period results by excluding potential differences caused by non-operational and unusual or non-recurring items. We also utilize and discuss Free Cash Flow, because management uses this measure for business planning purposes, measuring the cash generating ability of the operating business, and measuring liquidity generally. We present these supplemental measures because we believe that these measures provide investors with important supplemental information with which to evaluate our performance, long term earnings potential, or liquidity, as applicable, and to enable them to assess our performance on the same basis as management. These supplemental performance measurements may vary from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies in our industry. Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow are not recognized measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and when analyzing our performance or liquidity, as applicable, investors should (i) evaluate each adjustment in our reconciliation of operating and net income to Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, and cash flows to Free Cash Flows, and the explanatory footnotes regarding those adjustments, each as defined under GAAP, (ii) use Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS in addition to, and not as an alternative to, operating income, net income or diluted EPS, as a measure of operating results, and (iii) use Free Cash Flows in addition to, and not as an alternative to, net cash generated from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, each as defined under GAAP. We have defined the aforementioned non-GAAP measures as follows:

•

“Adjusted Operating Income” represents operating income before (i) certain stock option-based and other equity-based compensation expenses, (ii) adjustments related to the amortization of intangible assets, and (iii) any extraordinary, unusual, or non-recurring items. We prepare Adjusted Operating Income to eliminate the impact of items we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary, or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.

•

“Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income before income taxes, net interest and other expense, and depreciation and amortization and before certain other items, including: (i) certain stock option-based and other equity-based compensation expenses, (ii) transaction costs, fees, losses, and expenses, including fees associated with debt prepayments, and (iii) any extraordinary, unusual, or non-recurring items. We prepare Adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of items we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary, or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.

•

“Adjusted Net Income” represents net income before: (i) certain stock option-based and other equity-based compensation expenses, (ii) transaction costs, fees, losses, and expenses, including fees associated with debt prepayments, (iii) adjustments related to the amortization of intangible assets, (iv) amortization or write-off of debt issuance costs and write-off of original issue discount, and (v) any extraordinary, unusual, or non-recurring items, in each case net of the tax effect calculated using an assumed effective tax rate. We prepare Adjusted Net Income to eliminate the impact of items, net of tax, we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary, or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.


•	“Adjusted Diluted EPS” represents diluted EPS calculated using Adjusted Net Income as opposed to net income. Additionally, Adjusted Diluted EPS does not contemplate any adjustments to net income as required under the two-class method as disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements.


•	“Free Cash Flow” represents the net cash generated from operating activities less the impact of purchases of property and equipment.
