FAIRFAX, Virginia, June 1, 2005 – ManTech International Corporation (Nasdaq: MANT), a leading provider of innovative technologies and solutions focused on mission-critical national security programs for the Intelligence Community and the Departments of Defense, State, Homeland Security, Justice and other federal government customers, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Gray Hawk Systems, Inc., after the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.
As previously announced on May 4, the purchase price was approximately $100 million.
Gray Hawk Systems is a profitable, fast-growing, diversified, high-technology company providing a broad range of intelligence related services to the homeland security, law enforcement, Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense markets. Headquartered in Alexandria, VA and founded in 1995, Gray Hawk Systems had 2004 revenues of approximately $70 million and estimated 2005 revenues of approximately $90 million. More than 90 percent of the company’s 500 employees are cleared, with 70 percent at higher level clearances. About 75 percent of their customers are in homeland security related businesses and the remaining quarter in the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.
Robert A. Coleman, President and COO, ManTech International Corporation said, “The Gray Hawk Systems acquisition solidifies our position as a leading player in the high-end Intelligence market. It greatly expands our presence in homeland security related missions and meshes very well with our high-end offerings for the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense. Gray Hawk Systems capabilities round-out ManTech’s skills in the end-to-end, Intelligence information processing cycle, and gives ManTech access to new markets in national defense agencies, which we believe will become increasingly important as the Intelligence Reform Act of 2004 continues to unfold.”
