Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 15, 2007, ManTech entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with McDonald Bradley Inc. (“McDonald Bradley”), Spyglass Acquisition Corp., a newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary of ours (“Merger Sub”), and Kenneth Bartee, acting as a representative for the shareholders of McDonald Bradley (“Shareholder Representative”). The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into McDonald Bradley, with McDonald Bradley continuing as the surviving corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary (the “Merger”).

On November 16, 2007, we issued a press release announcing that we had entered into the Merger Agreement. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Description of Material Terms of Merger Agreement

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we will acquire all of the outstanding equity interests in McDonald Bradley (a privately-held company) for a purchase price of $76.5 million (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price is subject to adjustment based on the calculation of McDonald Bradley’s net working capital as of the closing date.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, a portion of the Purchase Price will be placed into escrow to satisfy potential indemnification obligations of the Company, and to satisfy potential expenses of the Shareholder Representative. The escrow term will be for a period of sixteen months.

McDonald Bradley has made customary representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement. Additionally, McDonald Bradley has agreed to certain customary covenants and agreements, including (among others) that

 

   

The Board of McDonald Bradley will call a special meeting of the McDonald Bradley shareholders to consider the Merger Agreement and the Merger, and will recommend that the McDonald Bradley shareholders adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Merger; and

 

   

McDonald Bradley will not solicit, encourage or initiate the submission of proposals relating to alternate business combination transactions, and will not participate in any discussions pertaining thereto.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including (among others)

 

   

Expiration of the applicable Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period;

 

   

The absence of any injunction or order prohibiting the closing;

 

   

The accuracy of representations and warranties (subject to an overall material adverse effect qualification);

 

   

The compliance with all agreements, covenants and obligations contained in the Merger Agreement (subject to an overall material adverse effect qualification); and

 

   

The absence of a material adverse change to McDonald Bradley’s business or financial condition.

The Merger Agreement contains customary termination provisions. In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated, the parties generally will be responsible for their respective costs and expenses. However, notwithstanding termination, the parties will generally remain liable for any breach of a covenant and any intentional breach of a representation or warranty that is contained in the Merger Agreement.


The Board of Directors of each of ManTech and McDonald Bradley has approved the Merger. Concurrently with entering into the Merger Agreement, certain shareholders of McDonald Bradley (who collectively own approximately 70% of McDonald Bradley stock) entered into voting agreements with ManTech pursuant to which they agreed to vote their shares of McDonald Bradley stock for the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement, and against any alternate transaction.

We expect the Merger to close in December 2007.
