The foregoing persons, other than Mr. Musallam, are referred to herein collectively as the “Veritas Reporting Persons”, and together with Mr. Musallam, as the “Reporting Persons”. Information with respect to each of the Reporting Persons is given solely by such Reporting Person, and no Reporting Person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of information furnished by another Reporting Person. The Reporting Persons are filing this Statement jointly, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 13d-1(k) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as separate persons and not as members of a group. See Exhibit 99.1 for the Reporting Persons’ Joint Filing Agreement.

 

  (b) The address of the principal business and principal office of each of the Reporting Persons is c/o Veritas Capital Fund Management, L.L.C., 9 West 57th Street, 29th Floor, New York, NY 10019.

 

  (c) The principal business of each of the Veritas Reporting Persons is making securities and other asset-based investments. Set forth on Schedule A attached hereto is a listing of each director, executive officer, managing member or general partner, as applicable, of the Veritas Reporting Persons (collectively, the “Covered Persons”), and the business address and present principal occupation or employment of each of the Covered Persons and Mr. Musallam and is incorporated herein by reference.

(e) None of the Reporting Persons, during the last five years, and to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons none of the Covered Persons, has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

(f) Mr. Musallam and each of the Covered Persons is a United States citizen, except for Hugh D. Evans, who is a Canadian citizen.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds.

The shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons were acquired on May 31, 2018, upon the closing under the Merger Agreement. On the closing date, (1) all of the outstanding shares of Vencore Holding Corp. common stock were automatically converted into the right to receive, in the aggregate, consideration consisting of $400 million in cash and 18,877,244 shares of Common Stock, and (2) all of the outstanding shares of KGS Holding Corp. common stock were automatically converted into the right to receive, in the aggregate, consideration consisting of 4,396,097 shares of Common Stock.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

The shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons were acquired pursuant to the Merger Agreement for investment purposes. Except as disclosed herein, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the Covered Persons, has any present plans or proposals which relate to or which would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. However, subject to the limitations in the Side Letter Agreement (as defined in Item 6 of this Statement), the Reporting Persons expect to review their investments in the Company on a continuing basis and may, at any time, consistent with the obligations of the Reporting Persons under the federal securities laws, determine to increase or decrease their respective ownership of Common Stock (whether through purchases or sales in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, by making dividends or distributions or through other transactions as circumstances dictate), or determine to take any other available course of action, which could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to the limitations in the Side Letter Agreement, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, engage in discussions, whether initiated by the Reporting Persons or another party, concerning proposals for transactions or other arrangements that may relate to or, if consummated, result in an event described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Any such review or discussion may consider various factors, including the Company’s business prospects and other developments concerning the Company, alternative investment opportunities, general economic conditions, financial and stock market conditions, and any other facts and circumstances which may become known to the Reporting Persons regarding their investments in the Company.


As disclosed in Item 6 of this Statement, Veritas Capital Fund Management, L.L.C. (“Veritas Capital Management”) holds certain nomination rights under the Side Letter Agreement in respect of the Company’s board of directors. Veritas Capital Management exercised such rights to nominate Mr. Musallam to the Company’s board of directors. In connection with any such service on the Company’s board of directors, it is expected that Mr. Musallam may, from time to time, be involved in discussions which relate to one or more of the matters described in clauses (i) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, but each of the Reporting Persons disclaims any obligation to report on any plans or proposals with respect to any such matters that develop or occur as a result of Mr. Musallam’s role as a member of the Company’s board of directors and his participation in decisions regarding the Company’s actions.
