**<u>Executive Compensation Highlights</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are a values-driven organization with a guiding purpose to empower people to change the world. Our executives are committed to advancing technology, innovation, and holding themselves and those around them accountable to achieving our customers' priorities with differentiation, integrity, and speed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our executive compensation strategy is designed to align leadership incentives with the Company's mission of delivering impactful technology solutions and advancing critical national security and defense priorities. We emphasize rewarding performance for driving innovation, accelerating transformation, and achieving measurable outcomes, while maintaining a focus on integrity, collaboration, and accountability to meet the complex needs of government and commercial customers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Together with our Compensation, Culture and People Committee, we are committed to designing a compensation program that aligns the interests of our executives with the long-term interests of our stockholders. This is achieved in part through an executive rewards package that includes a long-term performance-based component where a portion of executives' compensation is tied to the achievement of multi-year performance goals. For more details on our compensation program, please see our discussion in the CD&A beginning on page 35.

**<u>Governance & Oversight of Enterprise Responsibility & Sustainability</u>**

We utilize our Enterprise Responsibility & Sustainability (ERS) strategy to enhance resilience, modernize operations, and drive sustainable shareholder value, while continuously supporting our employees, customers, and communities. ERS governance is integrated into our operations, with oversight provided by the Board of Directors through its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation, Culture and People Committee, which manage key risks, operational priorities, and human capital matters. The day-to-day execution is overseen by an executive-led ERS Committee, chaired by the Corporate Secretary, and supported by an ERS Function that provides data-driven guidance and insights. These bodies ensure a unified, transparent, and collaborative approach to advancing our enterprise responsibility and sustainability practices.

**PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS**

**<u>Election of Directors</u>**

Each of our directors, with the exception of Ms. Amble and Messrs. Johnson and Rossotti, has been nominated for election to the Board for a one-year term, expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. To be elected in an uncontested election, a nominee must receive a majority of the votes validly cast with respect to that nominee's election at the annual meeting represented either in person or by proxy at the annual meeting. To be elected in a contested election, a nominee must receive the vote of a plurality of the votes validly cast at the annual meeting represented either in person or by proxy at the annual meeting. Any nominee who is an incumbent director and does not receive a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election must promptly tender his or her resignation, contingent on the acceptance of that resignation by the Board, to the chair of the Board following certification of the election results.

**<u>Board Skills and Expertise</u>**

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board believe that each director nominee brings a strong and diverse set of skills and expertise to the Company, as reflected in the chart below, including significant government, public company, financial, and strategic experience, that will strengthen our Board's independent leadership and effectiveness with respect to our business and long-term strategy.

**CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS COMMITTEES**

**<u>Our Board of Directors</u>**

The Board is responsible for providing governance and oversight over the strategy, risk, operations, and management of the Company. The primary focus of the Board is promoting stockholder value by fostering the long-term success of the Company. The Board is responsible for supporting and overseeing management, to which the Board has delegated the responsibility to manage the day-to-day strategy and operations of the Company.

The Board generally holds four regular meetings per year, and special meetings as necessary. The Board meets in executive session during each regular meeting; non-management directors also typically meet in executive sessions during each regular meeting.

The Board and its committees establish annual calendars of activities to guide the development of their agendas during the year. All directors are invited to propose agenda topics when the annual calendars are established, as well as in advance of each regular Board meeting. In addition, directors are encouraged to raise topics that are not on a meeting agenda or suggest topics for future agendas. Each director is provided written materials in advance of each meeting, and the Board and its committees provide feedback to, and make requests of, management at each of their meetings.

**<u>Corporate Governance Guidelines</u>**

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 at investors.boozallen.com.

**<u>Board Meetings and Attendance</u>**

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 year 2026, the Board held six meetings and acted by written consent. Each of our incumbent directors who served as a director during fiscal year 2026 attended at least 75 percent of the aggregate total number of Board and committee meetings to which they were assigned, and overall attendance was 98 percent. All directors who served at the time of our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders attended that meeting.

**<u>Board Independence</u>**

Twelve of our thirteen current directors are independent under our Corporate Governance Guidelines and applicable New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") listing standards. For a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine, after consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, that the director has no material relationship with the Company directly or as a partner, stockholder, or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company. The independence criteria adopted by the Board are set forth in the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines.

The Board has determined that Messrs. Gaumond, Johnson, Nolan, O'Brien, Read, Rossotti, and Thornberry, and Mses. Amble, Dial, Flournoy, Jewett, and McClain are independent under the independence criteria for directors established by the NYSE and the independence criteria adopted by the Board. As a result, we currently have a majority of independent directors and satisfy the applicable rule of the NYSE. Mr. Rozanski is an employee of the Company and is not independent under the NYSE listing standards or our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which can be found in the Investor Relations portion of our website at investors.boozallen.com.

------

**<u>Board Leadership Structure</u>**

As noted in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board has no policy with respect to the separation of the offices of Chair and Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that it is important to retain its flexibility to allocate the responsibilities of the offices of the Chair and Chief Executive Officer in any way that is in the best interests of the Company at a given point in time. If the individual elected as Chair is not an independent director, our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that a lead independent director will be appointed annually by a majority of the independent directors upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board.

The Lead Independent Director has specifically delineated responsibilities, which include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• presiding over executive sessions of the non-management directors and presiding, if the Chair is absent, at Board meetings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• collaborating with the Chair to set meeting agendas and the annual schedule of meetings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• providing input to the Chair on the quantity, quality and timeliness of information provided to the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• calling and chairing meetings of the independent directors and apprising the Chair of the issues considered;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• serving as the liaison between the independent directors and the Chair and Chief Executive Officer; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• collaborating with the Audit, Compensation, Culture and People, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees on the performance and structure of the Board and its committees, including the performance of individual directors.

At least annually, independent directors also meet in executive session during a regular Board meeting.

The Board regularly reviews the leadership structure to ensure that it continues to meet the needs of the Company and supports the generation of stockholder value, managing risk, and supporting the Company's executive management over the long term. The Board has concluded that it is currently in the best interest of the stockholders for Mr. Rozanski to retain the position of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that the unified Chair and Chief Executive Officer roles, combined with the robust authority given to the experienced Lead Independent Director, effectively represent the interests of stockholders and enable the Board to discharge appropriate levels of independence, oversight, and responsibility to serve the Company. The Board believes that Mr. Rozanski, with his three decades of experience with the Company and his deep knowledge of the Company's business and industry, is well qualified for the role of Chairman and that the Board operates effectively and efficiently under his leadership.

The Board exercises strong, independent oversight through frequent executive sessions, wholly independent Board committees, and an experienced Lead Independent Director with clearly delineated and comprehensive duties. The Board believes, given the Company's unique culture and business model, a Chair that is intimately connected to the firm is essential. Further, the Board believes that presenting a single face to our customers through the combined role is valuable and that unified Board and management leadership best positions the Company to successfully implement its strategy, particularly in the current dynamic and challenging geopolitical and economic environment.

Consistent with the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, in May 2026, a majority of the independent directors, upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, elected Mark E. Gaumond to serve as the Lead Independent Director. Mr. Gaumond has served as the Company's Lead Independent Director since July 2024.

**<u>Selection of Nominees for Election to the Board</u>**

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 a variety of professional backgrounds who combine a broad spectrum of experience and expertise with a reputation for integrity. Directors should have experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility, be, or have been, leaders in the companies or institutions with which they are, or were, affiliated, and be selected based upon the contributions they can make. Exceptional candidates who meet alternative criteria may also be considered.

Board Retirement Policy

The Board acknowledges the importance of regular refreshment to ensure an optimal balance of tenure, experience, and diverse perspectives. Long-serving directors contribute invaluable institutional knowledge and deep insight into the Company, while newer directors bring fresh perspectives, fostering a well-rounded and dynamic governance approach. The average tenure for our current Board is approximately 8.37 years. After giving effect to our directors not standing for re-election, our average tenure would be 6.24 years.

Effective May 20, 2026, the Board approved the Company's revised Corporate Governance Guidelines, which include the Company's retirement policy. Pursuant to the Corporate Governance Guidelines, non-management directors whose combined age and tenure is 85 years or greater at the time of the filing of the Company's proxy statement shall not be nominated for re-election at the next annual meeting of stockholders, unless an exemption is granted by resolution of the Board or as otherwise set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines. Pursuant to such policy, three of our directors, Joan Amble, Arthur Johnson and Charles Rossotti will not stand for election at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Process for Stockholders to Recommend Director Nominees

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. Our bylaws set forth the requirements for direct nomination of an individual by a stockholder for election to the Board.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates candidates recommended by stockholders in the same manner that it considers recommendations from other sources.

------

**<u>Risk Oversight</u>**

Our Board and its committees oversee the Company's risk management processes, including cybersecurity risks. Through regular briefings from management, the Board remains informed on key risk considerations and mitigation strategies. A cornerstone of this oversight is the Company's Enterprise Risk Management ("ERM") Program, which systemically identifies and manages enterprise risks that could materially impact operations, reputation, or value.

ERM Program Governance

The ERM Program is overseen by the ERM Steering Committee, which is chaired by our President and Chief Operating Officer. This committee is responsible for managing the ERM Program and ensuring that enterprise risks are identified, assessed, and mitigated effectively. Comprised of senior executives—including the General Counsel, Chief Information Officer, Chief Information Security Officer, Chief Administrative Officer, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer, and SVP, Corporate Finance and Investor Relations—the ERM Steering Committee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provides oversight of cybersecurity risk within the broader ERM framework and reviews management's approach to cybersecurity risk identification, assessment, and response;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reviews management's alignment of cybersecurity risk management priorities and strategies with business objectives; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Receives updates from management regarding cybersecurity assessments, exercises, mitigation activities, and significant cybersecurity risks.

Through this structured approach, the ERM Steering Committee ensures that the Company's risk management framework remains proactive, comprehensive, and aligned with business objectives.

Board Oversight & Committee Responsibilities

The Board maintains risk oversight by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Receiving quarterly risk updates, including cybersecurity risks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reviewing an annual enterprise risk assessment conducted by the ERM Program; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Engaging in regular briefings from senior management on enterprise and emerging risks and mitigation strategies.

To further strengthen governance, Board committees provide focused oversight in key risk areas:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Audit Committee** – Receives regular updates from the General Counsel, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer, Director of Internal Audit, Chief Information Security Officer, and Chief Information Officer on the status of the ethics and compliance program, internal controls over financial reporting, operational compliance areas, and regulatory communications. The Audit Committee also leads the Board's oversight of cybersecurity risk.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Compensation, Culture, and People Committee** – Oversees human capital management risks, including executive compensation policies and practices, ensuring alignment with the Company's long-term strategic goals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee** – Oversees risks related to corporate governance and ERS initiatives, ensuring governance practices align with ethical, regulatory, and sustainability standards.

This structured governance framework ensures that risk oversight remains embedded at all levels of the organization.

------

**<u>Succession Planning and Talent Reviews</u>**

The Board believes that executive management succession planning is one of its most important responsibilities. Accordingly, the Board regularly undertakes executive management succession planning and talent reviews, with support provided by the Compensation, Culture and People Committee. On an annual basis, the Chair leads the Board in an in-depth discussion concerning Chief Executive Officer succession and the Chief Executive Officer leads the Board in a discussion concerning senior management succession. Chief Executive Officer succession is also discussed by the Board in an executive session outside the presence of any management directors. In addition, management updates the Board on key talent indicators, such as recruiting and retention for the overall employee population, throughout the year.

**<u>Annual Board Performance Assessment</u>**

The Board and each of the Audit, Compensation, Culture and People, and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees perform an annual assessment of their operations and effectiveness, and set goals for the future. The comments of the directors are compiled and presented, as applicable, to the Chair, the Lead Independent Director, the applicable committee Chair, and the full Board, with further discussion with the appropriate committee as needed. The key matters to be addressed are identified, and these matters become part of future agendas for the Board and its committees.

**<u>Director Orientation and Continuing Education</u>**

New directors are provided a multi-phase orientation generally timed to coincide with our Board meetings as part of our effort to integrate them into 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, 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, the Board holds an annual business strategy session with management. Directors are also encouraged to participate in continuing education programs to better understand and execute their duties and responsibilities.

**<u>Communications with the Board</u>**

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, service complaints and inquiries, résumés and other forms of job inquiries, solicitations for charitable donations, surveys, business solicitations, and advertisements.

------

**<u>Board Committees</u>**

Our Board has four standing committees: an Executive Committee, an Audit Committee, a Compensation, Culture and People 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 at investors.boozallen.com.

The following chart identifies the current members and chair of each standing committee, as well as related information.

<sup>1</sup>Effective July 21, 2026, Mr. Gaumond will serve on the Audit Committee in addition to his roles as Lead Independent Director and a member of the Executive Committee.

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 authorized to act on behalf of the Board on certain matters for which applicable law does not require participation by the full Board. The current members of our Executive Committee are Messrs. Gaumond and Rozanski and Mses. Jewett and McClain. During fiscal year 2026, the Executive Committee acted by written consent.

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 Mses. Amble, Dial and Jewett (Chair) and Messrs. Nolan, Johnson and Rossotti, each of whom is an independent director as required by NYSE listing standards and Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Board has determined that each member of our Audit Committee is financially literate and that Messrs. Nolan and Rossotti and Mses. Amble, Dial, and Jewett are each an "audit committee financial expert" as such term is defined under Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

During fiscal year 2026, the Audit Committee held four meetings.

------

The Compensation, Culture and People Committee

Our Compensation, Culture and People Committee is responsible, among its other duties and responsibilities, for reviewing and approving all forms of compensation to be provided to 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, reviewing, approving, and overseeing the administration of the employee benefits plans of our Company and its subsidiaries, assisting the Board in overseeing succession planning of the Chief Executive Officer and key management positions, and overseeing programmatic matters relating to human capital management and culture.

The current members of our Compensation, Culture and People Committee are Mses. Flournoy and McClain (Chair) and Messrs. O'Brien, Read and Thornberry, each of whom is an independent director as required by NYSE listing standards. The Compensation, Culture and People Committee charter, a copy of which is available on our website, www.boozallen.com, requires that all members of the Compensation, Culture and People Committee must satisfy the requirements of "non-employee director" for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. Each of the members of the Compensation, Culture and People Committee currently satisfies these requirements.

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

The Compensation, Culture and People Committee has not engaged a compensation consultant; however, the Compensation, Culture and People Committee is briefed by management, which consults with Pay Governance LLC, or Pay Governance. The aggregate fees paid to Pay Governance for fiscal year 2026 were $177,707, all of which were related to executive compensation services. The Compensation, Culture and People Committee assessed the independence of Pay Governance and concluded that Pay Governance's work for the Company did not raise any conflicts of interest. See section "Setting Executive Compensation and Peer Group" of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for more details of services provided during the fiscal year by Pay Governance.

Each of the members of our Leadership Team participates in the discussion and consideration of compensation to be awarded to the executives in their reporting chain. Our Leadership Team does not participate in the discussions or provide any recommendations to the Compensation, Culture and People Committee regarding their own compensation. See "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Setting Executive Compensation and Peer Group."

During fiscal year 2026, the Compensation, Culture and People Committee held six meetings and acted by written consent.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among its other duties and responsibilities, 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, overseeing Board and Board committee evaluations, and overseeing practices related to corporate governance, corporate citizenship, and certain ERS matters.

The current members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Mses. Flournoy (Chair) and McClain and Messrs. O'Brien, Read and Thornberry, each of whom is an independent director as required by NYSE listing standards.

During fiscal year 2026, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held five meetings and acted by written consent.

**<u>Director Compensation</u>**

Directors who are employed by us do not receive any additional compensation for their services as directors. For non-employee directors, on an annual basis, the Chief People Officer, with the assistance of Pay Governance, performs a comprehensive review of director compensation and makes recommendations to the Compensation, Culture and People Committee regarding proposed changes. In July 2025, the Compensation, Culture and People Committee reviewed director compensation data for the peer group used for benchmarking executive compensation and the general market. Based on that review, the Compensation, Culture and People Committee made no changes to compensation levels for directors for their service from August 2025 to July 2026.

Director compensation included the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Component** | **Annual Amount** |
| Annual Equity Award | $225000 |
| Annual Board Retainer | $120000 |
| Lead Independent Director Additional Retainer | $50000 |
| Audit Committee Chair Additional Retainer | $30000 |
| Compensation, Culture and People Committee Chair Additional Retainer | $25000 |
| Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair Additional Retainer | $20000 |

---

The annual equity awards to our directors are granted in the form of restricted stock under our 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"). Generally these grants occur in August following our annual meeting of stockholders and half of the annual award vests on January 31 of the following year, and the other half vests on July 31 following the first vesting date. The annual retainer and any additional payments for service as a chair are generally paid in cash, unless a director elects to receive all or a portion of such payments in the form of restricted stock. Our directors do not receive additional fees for attending Board or committee meetings.

The following table shows the compensation earned by or paid to our non-employee directors in fiscal year 2026:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)This column represents the grant date fair value of the stock awards granted to our directors in fiscal year 2026. Where the stock awards were the result of voluntary elections to receive cash retainers in stock, the value reflected in this 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 17 to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, 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.

**<u>Director Ownership Guidelines</u>**

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 date of commencement of his/her service on the Board to achieve equity ownership with a value equivalent to five times his/her annual retainer. In calculating a director's ownership, Class A common stock, 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. Each of our directors who has served on the Board for five years or more has regularly exceeded and currently exceeds the equity ownership guidelines. Each of our directors who has not yet served on the Board for five years remains on track to meet the stock ownership guidelines within the prescribed timeframe. For a description of the guidelines applicable to executive officers, see our CD&A beginning on page 35.

Each such code was adopted by the Board and may be accessed without charge on the Investor Relations portion of our website at investors.boozallen.com. We will disclose on the Investor Relations portion of our website any amendments to the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct or Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers and any waiver granted to an executive officer or director under these codes.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Based on a review of reports filed by the Company's directors, executive officers, and beneficial holders of 10% or more of our outstanding shares, and upon representations from those persons, the Company believes that all reports required to be filed by the Company's reporting persons during fiscal year 2026 were filed on or prior to their respective due dates, except for one Form 4 that was filed on behalf of Dennis Metzfield one business day after its due date.

The percentages shown are based on 119,746,178 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of May 15, 2026. Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted on by our stockholders.

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.

**CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

**<u>Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions</u>**

We adopted a written related person transactions policy pursuant to which related persons, namely our executive officers, directors, and principal stockholders, and their immediate family members, are not permitted, without approval under the policy, 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 other body of the Board of Directors comprised solely of independent directors. 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, director nominees and executive officers are required to report to our Secretary any such proposed related person transaction, who is required to provide notice of such proposed related person transaction to the Audit Committee. 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 at least as favorable as 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.

**<u>Setting Executive Compensation and Peer Group</u>**

On an annual basis we evaluate our named executive officers' compensation relative to the compensation of publicly traded peer companies that are similar in size, industry, and operations. The Compensation, Culture and People Committee reviews the peer group regularly and adjusts as necessary due to changes at a peer company's operations or changes in comparability (e.g., due to bankruptcy or mergers and acquisitions) to the Company. The peer group is used by the Compensation, Culture and People Committee as a point of reference in determining pay within a competitive range without targeting a specific benchmark when making executive pay decisions.

For setting fiscal year 2026 executive compensation, the Compensation, Culture and People Committee requested that our outside compensation consultant, Pay Governance, perform a comprehensive review of the peer companies used for evaluating our named executive officers' compensation. Pay Governance evaluated companies that are similar in size, industry, and operations, using specific review criteria, as described below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Company size*: Organizations with revenues approximately 0.50x to 3.50x of our revenue, with peer median revenue approximating Company revenue, and with flexibility outside of this range to accommodate organizations that are a good match from a business perspective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Industry*: Government services organizations in information technology consulting and other services industries, such as cyber, data processing and outsourced services, and the aerospace and defense industries, as well as other comparable organizations that our Investor Relations department tracks and/or that benchmark to our Company.

As a result of this review, and the modified peer selection criteria proposed by Pay Governance, the Compensation, Culture and People Committee approved the peer group set forth below for benchmarking and setting compensation of our named executive officers for fiscal year 2026.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Fiscal Year 2026 Peer Group** | **Fiscal Year 2026 Peer Group** |
| - Amentum Holdings, Inc. (AMTM) <br> - Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP)<br> - Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (BR)<br> - CACI International, Inc. (CACI)<br> - CGI Group, Inc. (GIB)<br> - Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH)<br> - DXC Technology (DXC)<br> - FISERV, Inc. (FI) | - Jacobs Engineering (J) <br> - KBR Inc. (KBR)<br> - Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (KD)<br> - L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (LHX)<br> - Leidos Holdings, Inc. (LDOS)<br> - Parsons Corporation (PSN)<br> - Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) |

---

The Compensation, Culture and People Committee established fiscal year 2026 target compensation for the named executive officers by taking into consideration the peer group benchmarking analysis and input from Pay Governance, along with feedback from the CEO and/or COO (in the case of named executive officers who are direct reports to the CEO and/or COO), and the Committee's collective judgment and discretion. The target executive compensation includes the fiscal year salary amount, target short-term annual cash incentive, and long-term equity incentive. Additional information on each of these items can be found below under "Compensation Elements."

In fiscal year 2026, Pay Governance was also engaged to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Review and provide advice on our Compensation Discussion & Analysis;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Conduct the compensation risk assessment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Perform benchmarking and analysis of our Board of Directors' compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provide general market intelligence for setting short-term and long-term performance metrics and associated goals in the Annual Incentive Plan and the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan of the Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Review executive compensation strategy and design, peer selection insight, and market alignment.

The Compensation, Culture and People Committee considers peer group benchmarking and other market compensation data as critical inputs but not the sole factors in the overall assessment of competitiveness of our executive compensation. The Compensation, Culture and People Committee also considers other components such as performance, contributions, internal equity, and experience of each named executive officer in determining target and actual compensation amounts.

------

**<u>Compensation Elements</u>**

The primary components of our executive compensation program include:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Element** | **Objective** |
| Base Salary | Provides a regular income at competitive market level and reflects each executive's skills, experience, and responsibilities |
| Annual Cash Incentive | Motivates our executives to achieve our annual financial and strategic goals |
| Long-Term Equity Incentives | Reward sustained performance and align executives' interests with our stockholders through equity compensation opportunities |
| Benefits | Provide for the health and welfare of our executives, including retirement benefits to promote long-term commitment of our executives to the Company |

Fiscal Year 2026 Compensation Changes

The Compensation, Culture and People Committee, taking into consideration the revised peer group benchmarking data, along with guidance from our outside compensation consultant, Pay Governance, and input from the CEO and/or COO (in the case of named executive officers who are direct reports to the CEO and/or COO), did not approve any adjustments to the fiscal 2026 annual target compensation of our named executive officers who were also named executive officers in fiscal year 2025. Ms. Inserra was appointed to the Company's Leadership Team in fiscal year 2026 and received a one-time grant of stock options with a grant date fair value approximating $250,000 in connection with such appointment.

The named executive officers' fiscal year 2026 target annual cash incentive amounts are set forth below under the heading "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Elements—Annual Cash Incentive", and the fiscal year 2026 target annual equity grant amounts are set forth below under the heading "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Elements—Long-Term Equity Incentives—Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Grants".

At-Risk Compensation

We believe that a significant portion of our named executive officers compensation should be tied to the Company's success and the long-term returns of our stockholders. Consistent with this approach and as shown in the charts below for target compensation as of fiscal year-end 2026, more than half of the target compensation for each of our CEO and other named executive officers is delivered in the form of variable "at risk" compensation opportunities that are tied to the achievement of pre-set financial and strategic goals.

![CEO Pay Mix.jpg](bah-20260611_g29.jpg)![Screenshot 2026-04-29 134942.jpg](bah-20260611_g30.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup> Compensation mix for the Other Named Executive Officers reflects target compensation for only those who were active as of fiscal year-end 2026.

------

Base Salary

Base salary represents a relatively small portion of the total target executive compensation opportunities and provides the fixed component necessary to attract and retain executive talent. The salary paid to each of our named executive officers in fiscal year 2026, as approved by the Compensation, Culture and People Committee, is set forth in the table below.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **FY26 Base Salary** |
| Horacio D. Rozanski | $1500000 |
| Kristine Martin Anderson | $900000 |
| Richard C. Crowe | $650000 |
| Andrea D. Inserra | $600000 |
| Thomas J. Pfeifer | $650000 |
| Matthew A. Calderone <sup>1</sup> | $750000 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup> Mr. Calderone retired effective February 1, 2026. The value in the table reflects Mr. Calderone's full annual base salary for fiscal year 2026 as approved by the Compensation, Culture and People Committee near the beginning of the fiscal year. The salary actually paid to Mr. Calderone was prorated from April 1, 2025 to February 1, 2026, and is reported in the Salary column of the Summary Compensation Table.

Annual Cash Incentive

The annual cash incentive portion of our executives' compensation is provided through our annual bonus program. The target annual incentive amount for our named executive officers is determined each year by the Compensation, Culture and People Committee based on the market analysis and recommendation of our outside compensation consultant, Pay Governance, as well as of the CEO and/or COO (in the case of named executive officers who are direct reports to the CEO and/or COO).

The target annual cash incentive value for each named executive officer is established as a fixed dollar value, as approved by the Compensation, Culture and People Committee generally near the beginning of each fiscal year. The actual annual incentive payout for each named executive officer is determined after the fiscal year ends, as described below, and calculated as a percentage of over- or under-performance relative to the applicable performance metric(s) as approved by the Compensation, Culture and People Committee and applied to the target annual incentive value. The performance metric(s) and the performance range are generally determined near the beginning of each fiscal year as approved by the Compensation, Culture and People Committee. Executives who retire, or terminate employment under our transition policy, before the end of the fiscal year are generally eligible to receive a prorated incentive payment.

***Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Cash Incentive***

For fiscal year 2026, the annual cash incentive was based on the Company's performance against four metrics — Adjusted EBITDA and three strategic goals, as described below. The fiscal year 2026 target bonus pool, as approved by the Compensation, Culture and People Committee was $27.7M. Based on actual results against the target goals, as described below, the final approved bonus pool was $22.2 million.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Fiscal Year 2026 Performance Metrics** | **Fiscal Year 2026 Performance Metrics** | **Weighting** | **Performance Metric Description** |
| Financial Goal | Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)<sup>1</sup> | 85% | One-year adjusted EBITDA measured against performance targets set near the start of the performance period. |
| Strategic Goal | Capability Amplification | 5% | Actively publishing and sharing content of the Company's capabilities and solutions across various media platforms measured against performance targets set near the start of the performance period. |
| Strategic Goal | Technical Upskilling | 5% | Optimizing employee utilization and engagement during non-billable periods by aligning to innovation projects and upskilling opportunities in high-demand technologies measured against performance targets set near the start of the performance period. |
| Strategic Goal | Advanced Technology Demonstration | 5% | Increasing client awareness of our advanced technology capabilities by demonstrating our solutions and products measured against performance targets set near the start of the performance period. |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) See Appendix A to this proxy statement for information as to how these non-GAAP financial measures are calculated from our audited financial statements.

------

The Adjusted EBITDA portion of the annual incentive is determined based on the Company's performance relative to a target Adjusted EBITDA range. This incentive is subject to upward or downward adjustments based on how the performance compares to the specified range. Payment of the annual incentive approximating target levels would generally occur when actual Adjusted EBITDA is within the established Adjusted EBITDA range. A portion of any variance between the established range and actual Adjusted 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, Culture and People Committee in its sole discretion. A positive variance between the range and actual Adjusted 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.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before income taxes, net interest and other expense and depreciation and amortization, and before certain other items, including transaction costs, fees, losses, and expenses, including fees associated with debt prepayments. We base the majority of the annual incentive portion of our executives' compensation on Adjusted 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. For fiscal year 2026, the Adjusted EBITDA goal was weighted as 85% of the overall annual incentive opportunity.

from our audited financial statements.

For fiscal year 2026, the Compensation, Culture and People Committee, with guidance from management and our outside compensation consultant, Pay Governance, approved three strategic goals for the annual cash incentive, each with an equal 5% weighting, associated with our fiscal year 2026 priorities, as described in the table above. The Compensation, Culture, and People Committee determined to include these goals in our annual incentive plan for fiscal year 2026 based on combined engagement across both our executive and Vice President populations to further drive strategic alignment among our leadership, rather than specific individual goals. The performance associated with each of these strategic goals could each result in a payout ranging from zero percent for performance that falls below the minimum performance threshold and up to 150% for performance at the maximum level, in each case, as set and approved by the Compensation, Culture and People Committee near the beginning of each fiscal year.

Our Compensation, Culture and People Committee reviews and approves the Adjusted EBITDA and operational goal performance and any adjustments to the plan bonus pool based on year-end results. The final bonus pool, as approved by our Compensation, Culture and People Committee, is distributed to our executives as a consistent percentage of the target value.

For fiscal year 2026, the Company's performance faced a difficult procurement and funding landscape. Although revenue declined, strong contract performance and disciplined operations sustained profitability, and leading indicators going into fiscal year 2027 showed positive momentum. Based on these results, the Compensation, Culture and People Committee, in its discretion, approved the executive bonus payout equal to approximately 90%. The short-term incentive target opportunities and cash payments received by each of our named executive officers for fiscal year 2026 are presented in the table below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Mr. Calderone retired from the Company effective February 1, 2026. Pursuant to the terms of the retirement letter agreement, as discussed below under the heading "Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control - Retirement Benefits", Mr. Calderone received a prorated annual bonus for fiscal year 2026 for the period from April 1, 2025 to February 1, 2026.

Long-Term Equity Incentives

It is our philosophy that executives should hold meaningful amounts of long-term equity compensation to align the personal financial interests of our executives with the interests of long-term stockholders and to encourage a long-term perspective with regard to Company performance and growth. The equity compensation for our executives is delivered in the form of annual grants and new hire/advancement and retention grants.

***Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Grants***

Our named executive officers receive long-term equity incentive grants as part of their annual compensation that have two components: time-based restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance-based RSUs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Time-Based RSUs*: Settle into shares of Class A common stock in three equal installments over three years, subject solely to continued employment through each applicable vesting date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Performance-Based RSUs*: Settle into shares of Class A common stock at the end of a three-year performance period. For fiscal year 2026, the performance-based RSU goals are based on the Company's performance against two internal financial metrics — Adjusted EBITDA and Revenue and a total shareholder return (TSR) multiplier.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Fiscal Year 2026 Performance Metrics** | **Fiscal Year 2026 Performance Metrics** | **Weighting** | **Performance Metric Description** |
| Financial Metrics | Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)<sup>1</sup> | 75% | Three-year adjusted EBITDA measured based on the average annual growth rate against performance targets set near the start of the performance period |
| Financial Metrics | Revenue<sup>1</sup> | 25% | Three-year cumulative revenue measured based on the average annual growth rate against performance targets set near the start of the performance period |
| TSR Multiplier | Total Shareholder Return | 20%<br>Multiplier | Three-year comparison of the Company's total shareholder return relative to the S&P Software and Services Select Industry Index |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) See Appendix A to this proxy statement for information as to how these non-GAAP financial measures are calculated from our audited financial statements.

The Compensation, Culture and People Committee approved Adjusted EBITDA and Revenue as the financial metrics for

performance-based RSUs granted in fiscal year 2026 to create a direct relationship between named executive officer compensation and performance against the Company's multi-year Investment Thesis, as presented to stockholders, which is focused on driving organic revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. The Compensation, Culture and People Committee approved the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a metric in both of the annual and long-term incentive plans in fiscal year 2026 because it is viewed as a direct reflection of the cash flow and operating profitability of our business and represents the element of performance that executives can most directly impact through their management of the business. The Company views Adjusted EBITDA as a critical metric in evaluating operating performance as a measure of the Company's ability to drive profitable growth through a combination of revenue performance and cost management to optimize earnings generation for stockholders. Further, the Compensation, Culture and People Committee approved the application of a TSR multiplier for performance-based RSUs granted in fiscal year 2026 because it views such multiplier as creating additional risk and reward for executive compensation based on significant over- or under-performance against a broad group of industry peers. The Compensation, Culture and People Committee, with input from management and our outside compensation consultant, Pay Governance, modified the Company's goal-setting framework to utilize an Average Annual Growth Rate (AAGR) methodology in place of the cumulative three-year targets used in prior years, reflecting the dynamic operating environment in our industry which has resulted in less precision in multi-year goal setting.

Near the start of the three-year performance cycle, the Compensation, Culture and People Committee sets the threshold, target and maximum performance levels, and corresponding payouts. When establishing these performance levels, the Compensation, Culture and People Committee considers, among other things, projected Company performance and long-term strategic growth objectives, business outlook, and market growth forecasts. Since the goals are established for future performance over a three-year period, outcomes are by definition uncertain. Due to the proprietary and competitive nature of the Company's business strategy and internal budgets that inform the three-year performance program targets, the Compensation, Culture and People Committee discloses the long-term performance levels for each of the performance goals following the completion of the performance period.

The number of performance-based RSUs that vest at the end of the three-year performance cycle based on the financial performance goals may range from zero percent for performance that falls below the minimum performance threshold and up to 200% for maximum performance. The number of restricted stock units earned based on the financial performance goals may be further increased or decreased by the application of the TSR multiplier relative to the companies within the S&P

------

Software and Services Select Industry Index. The TSR multiplier is dependent upon the Company's TSR positioning against the companies within the Index during the performance period (multiplier is 120% if the Company's TSR is at or above the 75th percentile, 80% if TSR is at or below the 25th percentile, and no modifications between the 25th and 75th percentiles). The maximum number of performance-based RSUs granted in fiscal year 2026 that may be earned by a named executive officer after application of the TSR multiplier is 240% of target value.

For fiscal year 2026, the target annual equity mix for our CEO was 61.2% aligned to performance-based RSUs and 38.8% aligned to time-based RSUs. The average target annualized equity mix for all other named executive officers was approximately 60% aligned to performance-based RSUs and approximately 40% aligned to time-based RSUs. The performance-based RSUs allow for additional rewards based on over-achievement against our long-term performance goals, while also penalizing for under-performance. The time-based RSUs encourage retention and provide for incremental recognition of equity compensation over the vest cycle.

The target value of the annual grants to our named executive officers of performance-based and time-based RSUs in fiscal year 2026 are presented in the table below.

|:---|:---|:---|

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Grant date fair value of equity issued under the fiscal year 2026 executive annual compensation structure in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Mr. Calderone retired from the Company effective February 1, 2026. Pursuant to the terms of the retirement letter agreement as discussed below under the heading "Potential Payments upon Termination or a Change in Control — Retirement Benefits", the performance-based RSUs and time-based RSUs granted to Mr. Calderone in July 2025, the target values of which are reflected in this table, were forfeited upon Mr. Calderone's last day of employment without payment.

Ms. Inserra also received a one-time grant of stock options in connection with her appointment to the Company's Leadership Team in fiscal year 2026. The stock option grant value was approximately $250,000 with an exercise price of $109.81, the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. These stock options will vest in five equal installments over five years, subject solely to Ms. Inserra's continued employment through each applicable vesting date, and expire on the ten-year anniversary of the grant date if not exercised or otherwise terminated prior to such date.

------

***Fiscal Year 2024-2026 Performance-Based RSU Awards***

In May 2026, the Compensation, Culture and People Committee reviewed and certified the performance results of the performance-based RSUs granted in May 2023, applicable for the fiscal years 2024-2026 performance period, against the targets set at the beginning of the three-year period. The goals included two financial metrics, Adjusted EBITDA and Revenue, weighted 70% and 20%, respectively, two non-financial strategic goals, each with a 5% weighting, and a TSR multiplier based on the Company's TSR positioning against the companies within the S&P Software and Services Select Industry Index during the three-year performance period. The Compensation, Culture and People Committee determined to eliminate the opportunity to vest the performance-based RSUs associated with one of the non-financial strategic goals for the fiscal year 2024-2026 grant, resulting in 95% target for the combined three remaining goals.

The Compensation, Culture, and People Committee approved a final payout of 180% of target based on its assessment of the Adjusted EBITDA, Revenue, Mergers and Acquisition Activity goals, and the application of a 100% TSR multiplier, with actual financial results and threshold, target, above target, and maximum goals presented in the table below.

**Fiscal Year 2027 Compensation Adjustments**

The Compensation, Culture and People Committee approved certain changes to the compensation program for our named executive officers for fiscal year 2027, as described below.

The Compensation, Culture and People Committee, with guidance from Pay Governance and management, approved a new equity-based performance incentive program, effective for fiscal year 2027, pursuant to which certain active named executive officers are eligible to receive grants of performance-based restricted stock units that vest at the end of a one-year performance period. Effective for fiscal year 2027, each of Ms. Inserra and Messrs. Crowe and Pfeifer have received a grant of performance- based restricted stock units pursuant to this incentive program that have a grant date fair value equal to approximately $300,000. Neither Mr. Rozanski nor Ms. Anderson are eligible to participate in the program. The number of shares earned based on a $300,000 grant date fair value for each of Ms. Inserra and Messrs. Crowe and Pfeifer is determined based on the level of achievement against pre-established performance goals at the end of the one-year performance period. These performance goals are focused on the Company's execution against financial and strategic growth goals. Shares issued upon settlement of such performance- based restricted stock units are subject to a mandatory two-year post-vesting holding period during which they may not be sold or transferred by the named executive officer.

In addition, the Compensation, Culture and People Committee, taking into consideration the peer group benchmarking analysis, input from Pay Governance, and feedback from the CEO and/or COO (in the case of named executive officers who are direct reports to the CEO and/or COO), and the Committee's collective judgment and discretion, approved the fiscal year 2027 compensation for our named executive officers, including the compensation adjustments described below.

Effective for fiscal year 2027, the Compensation, Culture and People Committee approved the following compensation increases for Mr. Rozanski, Mses. Anderson and Inserra, and Mr. Pfeifer (i) Mr. Rozanski received an increase of $2,000,000 to the target annual equity grant amount, (ii) Ms. Anderson received an increase of $325,000 to the target annual incentive amount and $2,000,000 to the target annual equity grant amount, (iii) Ms. Inserra received an increase of $50,000 to base salary, $50,000 to the target annual incentive amount, and $100,000 to the target annual equity grant amount, and (iv) Mr. Pfeifer received an increase of $50,000 to the target annual incentive amount, and $300,000 to the target annual equity grant amount.

Benefits and Perquisites

Our employees are eligible to participate in a full complement of benefit plans. Our named executive officers also participate in enhanced medical and dental plans, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment, and personal liability coverage at the Company's expense. During fiscal year 2026, our named executive officers were eligible to receive perquisites, including up to $15,000 per year for financial counseling, up to $7,500 every three years to update an estate plan, and up to $3,000 for preparation of estate plans following relocation to a new tax jurisdiction. In addition, to protect our executives from various risks, we maintain an executive protection program that provides our executives with a security assessment for their primary residence and security service for international or domestic travel. We believe that our executive benefit and perquisite programs are reasonable and necessary to provide for the well-being of our executives. For more detail on the perquisites that our named executive officers receive, see footnote 8 to the Summary Compensation Table.

Retirement Benefits

We provide retirement benefits to our executives, including our named executive officers, to help them build financial security for retirement, while allowing them to direct the investment of their retirement savings as they choose. For a description of these benefits, see "Potential Payments upon Termination or a Change in Control — Retirement Benefits." below.

***Employees' Capital Accumulation Plan***

All eligible employees, which includes our named executive officers, may participate in the tax-qualified Employees' Capital Accumulation Plan, or ECAP. Under this plan, eligible employees, including our named executive officers, receive an annual matching contribution based on their voluntary contributions up to 6% of their eligible annual income, as determined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Each executive is also eligible to receive a payment that is equivalent to the annual tax-deferred contribution he or she is permitted to make to the ECAP under the Code. Executives may elect to have these funds deposited into a pre-tax or Roth 401(k), or the executive may simply receive the funds as a cash payment and be taxed accordingly.

***Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan***

As part of our executive compensation program, we offer a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for our executives to encourage employees to save for their retirement. Eligible employees, which include all named executive officers, may elect to contribute up to 100% of their annual cash bonus to this plan. Ms. Inserra was the only named executive officer who elected to participate in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan in fiscal year 2026. For a description of these benefits, see "Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Table" below.

***Additional Retirement Benefits***

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 named executive officers participate in the Officers' Retirement Plan, under which the executive may retire with full benefits after a minimum of either (a) age 60 with five years of service as an executive, or (b) age 50 with 10 years of service as an executive. Under the Officers' Retirement Plan, an eligible executive who retires and does not receive severance benefits is entitled to receive a single lump-sum retirement payment equal to $20,000 for each year of service as an executive, pro-rated as appropriate. Our retirees are also eligible to receive comprehensive coverage for medical, pharmacy, and dental healthcare. The premiums for this healthcare coverage are paid by the Company.

Mr. Calderone retired during fiscal year 2026. We entered into a retirement letter agreement with Mr. Calderone as discussed below under "Potential Payments upon Termination or a Change in Control — Retirement Benefits"

------

**<u>Executive Ownership Requirements</u>**

Equity ownership requirements are in place for our executives, including our named executive officers, to further align their interests to those of our stockholders. Our ownership requirements extend beyond market expectations. Our named executive officers have regularly exceeded our equity ownership guidelines and demonstrate a commitment to the Company's long-term value by owning equity well above their requirements. Until an executive has satisfied the ownership requirements set forth below, the executive cannot sell any equity granted as executive equity compensation by the Company. Each executive's required equity ownership amount is determined as a multiple of his or her base salary. The applicable multiples for our named executive officers are set forth in the table below, as well as a comparison of their approximate actual equity ownership requirement as of the end of the fiscal year:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Named Executive Officers** | **Ownership Requirement** | **NEO Actual Ownership** <sup>1</sup> |
| Chief Executive Officer | 7x base salary | 43.5x base salary |
| Other named executive officers | 4x base salary | 10.9x base salary |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Ownership for the "other named executive officers" is an average of their equity holdings compared to their respective base salary amounts as of fiscal year-end 2026, excluding Mr. Calderone who retired prior to the end of fiscal year 2026. Performance-based RSUs that vested on March 31, 2026 are included at target for purposes of this calculation.

In calculating an executive's ownership, Class A Common Stock, vested in-the-money stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and outstanding performance stock units at target, issued under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan of the Company are considered as owned by the executive. Each of our named executive officers has satisfied his or her individual stock ownership requirement.

**<u>Risk Assessment</u>**

During fiscal year 2026, our outside compensation consultant, Pay Governance, performed the annual comprehensive risk assessment of our compensation programs. 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 Compensation, Culture and People Committee, with the information from the external review, concluded that our executive compensation program does not encourage undue risk taking and the risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for our employees are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

**<u>Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation</u>**

At the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, approximately 98% of the votes cast were in favor of our executive compensation structure. The Board and Compensation, Culture and People Committee viewed this strong support as an indicator of general approval of our approach to executive compensation. In 2023, the Company's stockholders approved the recommendation of holding the say-on-pay vote annually. The next advisory vote for the frequency of holding the say-on-pay vote is scheduled for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2029. We continue to engage with our stockholders and welcome feedback regarding our executive compensation programs.

**<u>Government Limitations on Reimbursement of Compensation Costs</u>**

We are subject to applicable federal statutes and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which govern the reimbursement of costs by our government customers. Pursuant to the FAR our contracts limit the allowability of reimbursement for compensation to certain, or in some cases all, employees, including our named executive officers, to a benchmark compensation cap established each year by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). When comparing compensation to the benchmark cap, all wages, salary, bonuses, deferred compensation, and employer contributions to defined contribution pension plans, if any, for the year, as recorded in our books and records, must be included. Any amounts over the cap are considered unallowable and are therefore not recoverable under our government contracts. We adhere to the compensation caps published by OMB. A cap has not been published for 2026. We plan to apply the prior year cap of $671,000 until a new cap is published. Other contracts have higher caps and/or limit the allowable compensation of fewer employees.

------

**<u>Compensation Recovery Provisions (Clawbacks)</u>**

The Company maintains a mandatory clawback policy in accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and Section 303A.14 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the "Rule 10D-1 Clawback Policy"). The Rule 10D-1 Clawback Policy requires the Company to recover from its executive officers certain incentive-based compensation in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, without regard to any misconduct on the part of the executive and subject to certain limited exceptions. The Rule 10D-1 Clawback Policy applies to incentive-based compensation (whether cash- or equity-based) received by current and former executive officers of the Company during the three fiscal years preceding an accounting restatement and after the effective date of the NYSE listing standards, which was October 2, 2023. The Compensation, Culture and People Committee administers this policy.

We also have provisions in our incentive plans that provide us with the ability to impose the forfeiture of bonuses and all equity compensation and the recovery of certain bonus amounts and gains from equity compensation awarded under those plans. Such forfeitures and recoveries may occur:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in the event of an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under the securities laws with respect to individuals who knowingly or grossly negligently engaged in misconduct or knowingly or grossly negligently failed to prevent the misconduct,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• with respect to individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to the extent that, based on erroneous data, any award or payment under the Annual Incentive Plan 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, including if (i) the participant's performance is deemed to contribute substantially to significant financial losses, (ii) the participant's performance is deemed to contribute substantially to a significant downward restatement of any published results of our company or a subsidiary, (iii) the participant's conduct results in or contributes substantially to significant reputational harm to our company, (iv) the participant materially breaches applicable legal and/or regulatory requirements, or, with respect to any conduct by other employee(s) that materially breaches or contributes substantially to a material breach of applicable legal and/or regulatory requirements, the participant had supervisory authority over the employee(s) or business area engaged in the conduct and knew of, or was willfully blind to, such conduct, (v) the participant's conduct constitutes cause or (vi) the participant's conduct results in or contributes substantially to a material breach of our applicable internal policies and procedures, the Company has the discretion to suspend vesting of all or a portion of any award and/or require the forfeiture or disgorgement to the Company of any equity award (including gains on the sale of the stock, if any) that vested, was paid, or settled in the 24 months prior to or any time after the individual engaged in such misconduct.

The 2023 Equity Incentive Plan of the Company and the Annual Incentive Plan also permit the Company to subject awards to forfeiture, disgorgement, and recoupment under any applicable clawback policies that may be adopted by the Board or our Compensation, Culture and People Committee, including our Rule 10D-1 Clawback Policy.

**<u>Certain Change in Control Provisions</u>**

Equity Awards

The 2023 Equity Incentive Plan of the Company (the "Equity Incentive Plan") was approved by our stockholders in July 2023 and governs equity awards made in fiscal years 2025 and 2026 to our named executive officers. The Equity Incentive Plan provides that, upon a change in control, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation, Culture and People Committee or as otherwise provided in an award agreement, any unvested or unexercisable time-based and performance-based awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan will not become fully vested upon the occurrence of a change in control, and will instead be honored, assumed or substituted following the change in control, so long as such substitute awards (i) provide a participant with rights and entitlements (including economic value) that are substantially equivalent to or better than the rights and terms applicable to the awards held by such participant immediately prior to the change in control, and (ii) provide for accelerated vesting upon an involuntary termination of a participant's employment without cause or for good reason within two years following the occurrence of the change in control. If the awards are not honored, assumed or substituted upon a change in control, then any time-based awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan, including time-based options and time-based restricted stock units, will fully vest, and a portion of any outstanding performance-based awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan, including performance-based restricted stock units, will vest based on performance achieved as of the consummation of the transaction constituting a change in control.

With respect to outstanding equity awards granted to our named executive officers under the Third Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the "Prior Equity Incentive Plan") in fiscal year 2024 pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreements as approved by our Compensation, Culture and People Committee, in the event of a change in control:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all time-based options and time-based restricted stock units shall remain outstanding and vest on the applicable vesting date, subject to the continued employment or service of the participant with the Company or any subsidiary thereof through such vesting date. However, if the participant's employment or service is terminated by the Company without "cause" or for "good reason" (in each case, as defined in the applicable award agreement) within two years following the effective date of the change in control transaction (each, a "Qualifying Termination"), such outstanding options and restricted stock units will vest as of the date of such termination; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unvested performance-based restricted stock units will remain outstanding at target levels and will vest on the original vesting date, subject to the continued employment or service of the participant by the Company or any subsidiary thereof through such vesting date, but without regard to achievement of any performance goals; however, if the participant's employment or service is terminated in a Qualifying Termination within two years following the effective date of the change in control, such outstanding restricted stock units will vest as of the date of such termination.

"Change in control" is generally defined in our Equity Incentive Plan to mean the acquisition by any person of 50% or more of the combined voting power of our Company's then outstanding voting securities, the merger of our Company if our stockholders immediately prior to the merger 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.

Retiree Medical Plan

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, each of 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).

**<u>Policies on Timing of Equity Grants</u>**

It is our policy not to time the granting of equity awards, including stock option 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. Annual equity awards to all officers, including the named executive officers, are typically granted by the Compensation, Culture and People Committee at its prescheduled meeting in May of each fiscal year. We generally grant equity awards to newly hired and promoted executive officers at the subsequently scheduled Compensation, Culture and People Committee or Board meeting following the respective effective date of the hire or promotion. Effective in fiscal year 2026, we amended our equity grant practices such that any equity grant made in the month of an earnings release will be made on the first business day following such release. This change is intended to better align with broader market practice. We do not time the disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

**<u>Effect of Accounting and Tax Treatment on Compensation Decisions</u>**

The Compensation, Culture and People Committee has from time to time considered the potential impact of Section 162(m) of the Code, or Section 162(m), on elements of our compensation program. Section 162(m) imposes a limit on the amount of compensation that we may deduct in any one year with respect to certain "covered employees." The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act made certain changes to Section 162(m), including repealing the performance-based compensation exception and expanding the scope of persons covered by the limitations on deductibility under Section 162(m). Accordingly, compensation paid after March 31, 2018 to our covered employees in excess of $1 million will not be deductible unless it qualifies for transition relief applicable to certain arrangements in place as of November 2, 2017 that are not modified in any material respect after that date.

Our Compensation, Culture and People 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 and does not have a policy requiring compensation to be fully deductible under Section 162(m). As a result of the elimination of the exemption for qualified performance-based compensation, our Compensation, Culture and People Committee pays and expects to continue paying compensation at levels that are not deductible under Section 162(m).

Other provisions of the Code can also affect compensation decisions. Section 409A of the Code, or Section 409A, 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, Culture and People 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 Code, or Section 280G, 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 Code imposes a 20% excise tax on those payments. As described above, awards under our Equity Incentive Plan contain provisions that, in certain circumstances, accelerate vesting of all or a portion of the awards in connection with a change in control and Qualifying Termination within two years following the 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Compensation is provided only for fiscal years for which each individual qualified as a named executive officer. The fiscal year runs from April 1 through March 31 of the subsequent calendar year. Mr. Calderone's base salary for fiscal year 2026 reflects partial- year service through his retirement date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)This column reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of the time- and performance-based restricted stock units granted to our named executive officers in fiscal year 2026. The grant date fair value of the time-based restricted stock units is measured in accordance with FASB ASC 718 and based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The grant date fair value of the performance-based restricted stock units is calculated using a Monte-Carlo model for each award on the date of grant, as determined under FASB ASC 718 based on the probable outcome of the performance condition as of the grant date. This column reflects the grant assumptions set forth in Note 17 to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, 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 executive. Assuming the maximum level of performance is achieved, the value at the grant date of the fiscal year 2026 performance-based restricted stock units reflected in this column would be as follows: Mr. Rozanski, $15,283,284; Ms. Anderson, $2,996,825, Mr. Crowe, $1,947,875, Ms. Inserra, $1,798,073, Mr. Pfeifer, $1,947,875, and Mr. Calderone, $2,547,418. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan and applicable award agreements, Mr. Calderone forfeited the grants of time- and performance-based restricted stock units received in fiscal year 2026 upon his retirement from the Company effective February 1, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)This column reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of the stock options granted to Ms. Inserra in fiscal year 2026 in connection with her appointment to the Leadership Team, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 using the valuation methodology and assumptions set forth in Note 17 to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, which are incorporated by reference herein, modified to exclude any forfeiture assumptions related to service-based vesting conditions. The amount in this column does not reflect the value, if any, that ultimately may be realized by the executive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)This column reflects the fiscal year 2026 annual cash incentive bonus program, which provides awards based on the achievement of corporate performance objectives. The amounts reported in this column relate to the year in which such bonuses were earned by each of our named executive officers. For Mr. Calderone, his annual cash incentive bonus was prorated for the portion of fiscal year 2026 that elapsed prior to his retirement date. See "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Elements—Annual Cash Incentive" for additional detail regarding the annual performance bonus program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)This column reflects the change in the actuarial present value of the cash retirement benefit accrued under the Officers' Retirement Plan for each of our named executive officers from fiscal year-end 2025 to fiscal year-end 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6)Ms. Inserra and Mr. Pfeifer were not named executive officers in fiscal years 2024 and 2025. Mr. Crowe was not a named executive officer in fiscal year 2024. Accordingly, no compensation information is provided for Ms. Inserra, and Messrs. Pfeifer and Crowe for those respective fiscal years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7)Mr. Calderone, former Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, retired in fiscal year 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8)The table below describes the elements included in All Other Compensation for fiscal year 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)This column reflects the standard financial counseling benefit received by each named executive officer pursuant to the Company's Officer Perquisites Policy, which is limited to $15,000 on a calendar year basis. Values shown for certain named executive officers may appear to exceed this amount because the program is administered internally on a calendar year basis, which ended December 31, 2025, while the values in the table reflect our fiscal year period, which ended March 31, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Reflects the target bonus for fiscal year 2026 under our Annual Incentive Plan, which provides awards based on the achievement of corporate performance objectives, payable in cash. The Annual Incentive Plan is described more fully under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Elements—Annual Cash Incentive." Non-equity incentive plan awards have no minimum threshold or maximum payouts, although our plan does limit the annual amount of bonus an individual can earn to $5,000,000. The actual cash bonuses paid for fiscal year 2026 are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table. In connection with his retirement, Mr. Calderone received a prorated bonus for fiscal year 2026 in the amount reported in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Reflects the target number of performance-based restricted stock units granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan in July 2025. The performance-based restricted stock units are determined by the Company's performance against two financial metrics, Adjusted EBITDA (75% weighting) and Revenue (25% weighting), and a relative Total Shareholder Return multiplier, measured based on average annual growth rate over a three-year period against performance targets set near the start of the performance period. The threshold payout for the performance-based restricted stock units is reflected at 50% of target and does not include a modifier for TSR performance. The maximum payout is reflected at 240% of target, with inclusion of the maximum TSR modifier of 120% to represent absolute maximum performance. See "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Elements—Long-Term Equity Incentives" for details regarding these grants. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan and applicable award agreements, Mr. Calderone forfeited the grant of performance-based restricted stock units received in fiscal year 2026 upon his retirement from the Company effective February 1, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Reflects the time-based restricted stock units granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan in May 2025, which vest in equal annual installments over three years based on the continued employment of the named executive officer. See "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Elements—Long-Term Equity Incentives" for details regarding these grants. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan and applicable award agreements, Mr. Calderone forfeited the grant of time-based restricted stock units received in fiscal year 2026 upon his retirement from the Company effective February 1, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)Reflects the stock options granted to Ms. Inserra pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan in May 2025 in connection with her appointment to the Leadership Team. The stock options vest in equal annual installments over five years based on Ms. Inserra's continued employment through each applicable vesting date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)The grant date fair value for time-based restricted stock units is measured in accordance with FASB ASC 718 and based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The grant date fair value for performance-based restricted stock units is calculated using a Monte-Carlo model for each award on the date of grant, as determined under FASB ASC 718 based on the probable outcome of the performance condition as of the grant date. The grant date fair value for the time- and performance-based restricted stock units reflects the grant assumptions set forth in Note 17 to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, which are incorporated by reference herein.

As of fiscal year-end, all of the fiscal year 2026 named executive officers are eligible to receive benefits under the Officers' Retirement Plan upon retirement, as shown in the table below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)The number of years of credited service is less than the named executive officer's number of actual years of service with the Company, as only the named executive officer's service as an executive is relevant for purposes of the benefits available under the Officers' Retirement Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)The present value of accumulated benefits has been calculated in a manner consistent with our reporting of the Retired Officers' Bonus Plan under FASB ASC 715-30, using the Accumulated Benefit Obligation with the exception of the retirement rate assumptions, as set forth in Note 14 to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, which are incorporated by reference herein. The amounts shown above reflect an assumption that each participant collects his or her benefit at the earliest age at which an unreduced benefit is available.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)The amounts reported in this column reflect executive contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan that became effective in fiscal year 2026 and is attributable to the executive's election to defer all or a portion of their fiscal year 2025 annual performance bonus. For each of Mr. Crowe and Ms. Inserra, these executive contributions are reported in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column for the fiscal year 2025 in the Summary Compensation Table.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Aggregate earnings were not included in the Named Executive Officer's compensation in the last completed fiscal year in the Summary Compensation Table.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Ms. Inserra is the only Named Executive Officer who enrolled in the fiscal year 2026 Deferred Compensation Plan, and her contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan for such fiscal year will become effective only in fiscal year 2027.

Our non-qualified deferred compensation plan (or Deferred Compensation Plan) allows eligible executives to defer all or a portion of their annual bonus to this plan. Participants make an irrevocable election to defer compensation in March prior to the fiscal year in which it is earned. Amounts deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan, as adjusted for applicable earnings gains and losses and fees, are credited to an account in the participant's name. Contributions made to the plan are immediately vested and remain fully vested at all times. Participants may select at any time from a diversified menu of notional investment options, and the value of their Deferred Compensation Plan account balance may increase or decrease based on the performance of their selected investment options. In fiscal year 2026, the average annual return on the investment options available for the Deferred Compensation Plan was 15.3%.

Deferred Compensation Plan participants may elect to receive distributions of their deferred amounts either upon separation from service or as of a specified in-service distribution date. Distributions will be made in a lump sum payment unless the participant elects installment payments over a period between two and ten years. In case of an unforeseeable emergency that causes a severe financial hardship for a participant, the Compensation, Culture and People Committee of the Board of Directors or its designee may approve a distribution under the Deferred Compensation Plan to the participant without penalty in an amount necessary to help alleviate the hardship to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the tax code. All distributions are taxable income as of the date of the withdrawal.

Potential Payments upon Termination or a Change in Control

***Transition Pay***

Consistent with our Transition Policy, which deals with departures other than retirement, resignation, death, disability, and terminations for cause, each named executive officer is eligible for transition pay equal to three months of base pay, as well as a lump sum payment equal to one month of base pay for each completed year as an executive, up to a maximum of nine months' base pay. Additionally, the Company will reimburse each named executed officer for up to $30,000 for outplacement career services and up to three months of premium costs in accordance with the Continuous Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, "COBRA", based on the eligible healthcare plan(s) in which the named executive officer is enrolled. Under the terms of our Transition Policy and Retirement Policy, all departure payments and benefits are contingent upon the executives' signing of a general release.

***Retirement Benefits***

Under our Officers' Retirement Plan, if our named executive officers retire, they will each be entitled to receive a single lump sum retirement payment equal to $20,000 for each year of service as an executive, pro-rated as appropriate. In addition, each of our named executive officers and their eligible dependents are also entitled to receive the benefit of Company-paid retiree medical and dental coverage post-retirement.

During fiscal year 2026, we entered into a retirement letter agreement with Mr. Calderone pursuant to which he remained eligible for the fiscal year 2026 annual bonus, prorated for the portion of fiscal year 2026 that elapsed prior to the retirement date, and payable on the Company's regular payment date for fiscal year 2026 bonuses, subject to Company performance. In addition, the equity awards held by Mr. Calderone as of his retirement date were generally treated in accordance with the term of the Equity Incentive Plan and applicable award agreements. Upon Mr. Calderone's retirement (i) the outstanding time-based restricted stock units granted to Mr. Calderone on May 27, 2025 and the one-time time-based restricted stock units grants to him on May 23, 2024 were forfeited, and (ii) all outstanding performance-based restricted stock units granted to Mr. Calderone were also forfeited since (a) his retirement did not meet the conditions of a "qualifying permanent retirement" (as discussed below) at any time with respect to the annual performance-based restricted stock units granted to him on July 22, 2025, May 23, 2024, and May 25, 2023, and (b) the one-time performance-based restricted stock units grant to Mr Calderone on May 23, 2024 did not include a "qualifying permanent retirement" provision. The outstanding time-based restricted stock units associated with annual equity compensation granted to Mr. Calderone on each of May 23, 2024 and May 25, 2023 were permitted to continue to vest following his retirement, subject to forfeiture for competitive activity and other terms and conditions of the Equity Incentive Plan and applicable award agreements.

***Treatment of Equity Awards***

In addition, our Equity Incentive Plan and the award agreements governing the equity awards held by our named executive officers include provisions related to the treatment of the awards upon a termination of employment:

*Death* 

In the event of a named executive officer's termination of employment due to death, (i) unvested options immediately vest and remain outstanding until the first anniversary of the termination date, or if earlier, the option's expiration date, (ii) unvested time-based restricted stock units and restricted stock immediately vest, and (iii) unvested performance-based restricted stock units immediately vest at target award levels.

*Disability* 

In the event of a named executive officer's termination of employment due to disability, (i) unvested options continue to vest on the normal schedule, and vested options will remain outstanding until the first anniversary of the termination date (or for options vesting after the termination date, the first anniversary of the vesting date), or if earlier, the option's expiration date, (ii) unvested time-based restricted stock units and restricted stock continue to vest on the normal schedule, and (iii) unvested performance-based restricted stock units vest on the normal vesting date in a pro rata amount of the units that would have been earned and vested based on the actual achievement of the performance goals as if employment had not terminated (with the amount prorated based on the portion of the performance period that lapsed prior to the termination date).

------

*For Cause* 

In the event of a named executive officer's termination of employment for cause (as defined in the applicable award agreement), all vested and unvested options, and all unvested time-based restricted stock units, restricted stock, and performance-based restricted stock units are immediately forfeited and canceled, effective as of the termination date.

*Qualifying Permanent Retirement*

If a named executive officer's employment is terminated by reason of a qualifying permanent retirement on or after March 31 of the first fiscal year of a performance period, unvested performance-based restricted stock units will continue to vest on the vesting date based on actual achievement of the performance goals as if employment had not terminated, except as otherwise noted below. In the event of a retirement occurring prior to March 31 of the first fiscal year of the performance period, or if at any time if the retirement is not a qualifying permanent retirement, all unvested performance-based restricted stock units will be immediately forfeited. Certain one-time performance-based restricted stock units granted to Ms. Anderson and Messrs. Calderone and Crowe in fiscal year 2025 did not include a qualifying permanent retirement condition and will be forfeited upon each such Named Executive Officer's retirement if outstanding at such time. Mr. Calderone forfeited his one-time grant of performance-based restricted stock units received in fiscal year 2025 upon his retirement from the Company effective February 1, 2026.

*Any Other Termination*

In the event of a named executive officer's termination of employment for any reason other than death, disability, a qualifying permanent retirement after the first fiscal year of a performance period (in the case of the performance-based restricted stock units), or cause, unvested options are immediately forfeited and canceled, and vested options remain outstanding until the 90th day following the termination date, or if earlier, the option's expiration date, and unvested time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units are immediately forfeited, in each case unless otherwise determined by our Compensation, Culture and People Committee.

*Non-Competition Agreements*

To the extent legally permissible, the named executive officers are party to agreements that include non-competition, non-solicitation, and non-recruitment covenants, which generally cover the period during which the executive is employed with us and for one year following termination of employment, along with perpetual confidentiality covenants. If the named executive officer breaches these agreements or otherwise engages in competitive activity as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan, the Company has 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, or was paid or settled, in the 12 months prior to, or any time after, such breach or the date the individual otherwise engaged in such competitive activity.

*Change in Control Protections*

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

*Equity Awards* &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

With respect to equity awards granted to our named executive officers under the Equity Incentive Plan in fiscal years 2025 and 2026, pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreements as approved by our Compensation, Culture and People Committee, in the event of a change in control, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation, Culture and People Committee or as otherwise provided in an award agreement, any unvested or unexercisable time-based and performance-based awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan will not become fully vested upon the occurrence of a change in control, and will instead be honored, assumed or substituted following the change in control, so long as such substitute awards (i) provide a participant with rights and entitlements (including economic value) that are substantially equivalent to or better than the rights and terms applicable to the awards held by such participant immediately prior to the change in control, and (ii) provide for accelerated vesting upon an involuntary termination of a participant's employment without cause or for good reason within two years following the occurrence of the change in control. If the awards are not honored, assumed or substituted upon a change in control, then any time-based awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan, including time-based options and time-based restricted stock units, will fully vest, and a portion of any outstanding performance-based awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan, including performance-based restricted stock units, will vest based on performance achieved as of the consummation of the transaction constituting a change in control.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With respect to equity awards granted to our named executive officers under the Prior Equity Incentive Plan in fiscal years 2024, pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreements as approved by our Compensation, Culture and People Committee, in the event of a change in control:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all time-based options and time-based restricted stock units shall remain outstanding and vest on the applicable vesting date, subject to the continued employment or service of the participant with the Company or any subsidiary thereof through such vesting date. However, if the participant's employment or service is terminated by the Company without "cause" or for "good reason" (in each case, as defined in the applicable award agreement) within two years following the effective date of the change in control transaction (each, a "Qualifying Termination"), such outstanding options and restricted stock units will vest as of the date of such termination; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unvested performance-based restricted stock units will remain outstanding at target levels and will vest on the original vesting date, subject to the continued employment or service of the participant by the Company or any subsidiary thereof through such vesting date, but without regard to achievement of any performance goals; however, if the participant's employment or service is terminated in a Qualifying Termination within two years following the effective date of the change in control, such outstanding restricted stock units will vest as of the date of such termination.

*Retirement Benefits*

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, each of 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).

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 of the last day of fiscal year 2026. If applicable, amounts in the table were calculated using $78.03, the closing fair market value of our common stock on the last trading day of the fiscal year, March 31, 2026. 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. For Mr. Calderone, the table sets forth the actual amount of compensation received or receivable in connection with his retirement during fiscal year 2026. The estimated amounts listed below are in addition to any retirement, welfare, and other benefits that are available to our salaried employees generally.

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Each named executive officer is eligible for transition pay under our Transition Policy upon an involuntary termination equal to three months of base pay, plus one additional month for each year of service as an executive, up to a maximum of nine months' base pay.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)This amount for each named executive officer reflects the value of the equity awards that fully vest upon an involuntary termination of employment (i.e., a termination without "cause" or for "good reason"), on the date of a change in control or upon a named executive officer's death, calculated using $78.03, the closing fair market value of our common stock on the last trading day of the fiscal year, March 31, 2026. The accelerated vesting of these awards is described in more detail above under the heading "Change in Control Protections." In the event of a named executive officer's death, all outstanding time-based restricted stock units immediately vest and all outstanding performance-based restricted stock units immediately vest at target levels.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)This column represents the benefits under the Officers' Retirement Plan, as described above under the heading "Retirement Benefits." The amounts have been calculated using the methodology and assumptions described in footnote 2 to the Pension Benefits Table above. For Mr. Calderone, this column represents the actual amount that he received under the Officers' Retirement Plan in connection with his retirement in fiscal year 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)Each named executive officer has a $2 million life insurance policy. If the death was accidental, an additional $1.5 million would be paid. Decedents' survivors also receive one month's base pay.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)This amount for each named executive officer includes the 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 per year). This amount was calculated by valuing the benefit as a standard annuity benefit based on the incidence of disability, using assumptions consistent with FASB ASC 715-30 and 715-60 accounting for our other benefit programs and, for the assumption of a rate of disability, the 1977 Social Security Disability Index table.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6)This amount for each named executive officer includes the 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 FASB ASC 715-60, using the Accumulated Post-Retirement Benefit Obligation, with an adjustment made to retirement age assumptions as required by SEC regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7)This amount for each named executive officer reflects $30,000 in outplacement assistance and three months' COBRA premiums based on healthcare eligible plan enrollments as of fiscal year end.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8)This amount for each named executive officer represents the actuarial present value of retiree medical benefits which were calculated as described in footnote 6 above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9)This amount for each named executive officer 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(10)If the named executive officer's employment is terminated on or after March 31, 2026 by reason of a "qualifying permanent retirement" (as defined in the applicable award agreement), outstanding unvested performance-based restricted stock units (other than the one-time grants issued to Ms. Anderson and Messrs. Calderone and Crowe in fiscal year 2025) will be eligible to continue to vest on the vesting date, subject to and based on actual achievement of the performance goals. The estimated value of the continued vesting for such performance-based restricted stock units would be $18,221,940, $3,573,150, $2,322,547, $1,593,123, and $2,248,762 for Mr. Rozanski, Ms. Anderson, Mr. Crowe, Ms. Inserra, and Mr. Pfeifer, respectively, calculated based on the closing fair market value of our common stock on last trading day of the fiscal year, March 31, 2026, and assuming achievement of maximum performance levels. With respect to the certain one-time performance-based restricted stock units granted in fiscal year 2025, or in the event of a named executive officer's retirement that at any time is not considered a "qualifying permanent retirement," the outstanding unvested performance-based restricted stock units will be forfeited. Certain outstanding annual performance-based restricted stock units granted to Mr. Calderone on July 22, 2025, May 23, 2024 and May 25, 2023 were eligible for "qualifying permanent retirement" treatment in connection with his retirement on February 1, 2026, subject to the terms of the applicable award agreements; however, Mr. Calderone's retirement did not meet the conditions of a "qualifying permanent retirement" under the terms of the applicable award agreement, therefore all performance-based restricted stock units granted to Mr. Calderone on July 22, 2025, May 23, 2024 and May 25, 2023, were forfeited in connection with his retirement.

<u>Pay Ratio</u> 

In accordance with Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K ("Item 402(u)"), we are providing the following estimated information for fiscal year 2026:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the annual total compensation of the median employee (excluding our CEO) was approximately $157,918, which we calculated using the same methodology we used to determine the annual total compensation of our named executive officers for fiscal year 2026 (as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table), and included base salary, any employee bonuses and awards, the Company 401(k) plan match, and the Company-paid portion of the medical and dental benefits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table, was $13,800,777; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all our other employees (the "Pay Ratio") was approximately 87 to 1.

The Pay Ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u). Additionally, the rules for identifying the "median employee" and calculating the Pay Ratio allow companies to apply various methodologies and assumptions. As a result, the compensation for our median employee and the Pay Ratio reported by us should not be used as a comparison to the information reported by other companies.

**Methodology for Identifying Our "Median Employee"**

We determined that as of March 31, 2026 our total employee population consisted of approximately 32,085 individuals, including our CEO, and both full-time and part-time employees, of which approximately 30,948 were aligned to offices in the United States or U.S. jurisdictions, and 1,137 to offices in non-U.S. jurisdictions. As the population of employees located in non-U.S. jurisdictions accounts for less than 5% of our total workforce, we were able to rely on the *de minimis* exception permitted under Item 402(u) and exclude the non-U.S. population from our "median employee" calculation, which included employees located in Australia (30), Belgium (8), Djibouti (2), Eswatini (1), Georgia (1), Germany (518), Greece (1), Italy (34), Japan (190), Republic of Korea (53), Kuwait (2), Lithuania (1), Netherlands (14), Pakistan (30), Poland (1), Romania (1), Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (2), Serbia (1), Singapore (6), Spain (2), Taiwan (1), and the United Kingdom (238). After excluding the non-U.S. population, our CEO, and employees on unpaid leave of absence for the full fiscal year 2026, the resulting adjusted employee population to be used for identifying our "median employee" was 30,947.

We compared the annual salary of our adjusted employee population as reflected in our human resources system of record. This measure was consistently applied to all individuals in the adjusted employee population. This analysis yielded our median salary which identified a single individual, for whom we performed a detailed analysis of the annual total compensation, as discussed below.

**Annual Total Compensation Determination**

We calculated annual total compensation using the same methodology we used for purposes of determining the annual total compensation of our named executive officers for fiscal year 2026 (as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table). Specifically, in addition to the actual salary paid for fiscal year 2026, the calculation of total compensation for our "median employee" included Company-paid portions of health and wellness benefits and qualified retirement plan contributions.

<u>Pay Versus Performance</u> 

This Pay Versus Performance (or "PvP") section, along with corresponding tables, has been written in compliance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act. Compensation Actually Paid (or "CAP") to our named executive officers in each of fiscal years 2022 through 2026 has been calculated in accordance with such PvP rules and is compared below with specific performance measures as required by the rules.

**Performance Measures**

In accordance with the PvP rules, the most important performance measures we use to link CAP to our named executive officers for fiscal year 2026 to our performance are listed in the table below. These metrics are not in rank order. Under the "Annual Cash Incentive" and "Long-term Equity Incentives" titles in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of this proxy statement, each of these performance measures is described in depth.

**Pay Versus Performance Table**

The CAP figures in the table below do not represent the compensation that the CEO or the NEOs actually earned, realized or received due to the change in fair value of the equity awards over time. As a result, when designing or deciding on the compensation for our NEOs, the Compensation, Culture and People Committee did not take the data in the table into account. Our "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" includes a thorough explanation of the Company's executive pay program and the guiding principles and methodology of the Committee (beginning on page 35).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Amounts shown for "Summary Compensation Table" total for each applicable fiscal year (i) for the PEO, are the amounts of total compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the PEO, and (ii) for the Non-PEO NEOs, are the average of the amounts of total compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for such Non-PEO NEOs.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Amounts shown for CAP are computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to the NEOs during the applicable year. These amounts reflect total compensation for the PEO and average total compensation for Non-PEO NEOs as reported in the Summary Compensation Table, with certain adjustments as required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and described in footnote 5 below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)For the portion of CAP that is based on year-end stock prices, $78.03 was used for fiscal year 2026, $104.58 was used for fiscal year 2025, $148.44 was used for fiscal year 2024, $92.69 was used for fiscal year 2023, and $87.84 was used for fiscal year 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)CAP reflects the exclusions and inclusions of certain amounts from Summary Compensation Table total compensation for the PEO and the Non-PEO NEOs as set forth below under the heading "Summary Compensation Table Total and Compensation Actually Paid Reconciliation for the PEO and Non-PEO NEOs." Equity values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. The valuation methodologies and assumptions used to calculate the equity values included in CAP are based on our grant date fair value of the equity awards as disclosed in the Company's consolidated audited financial statements filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the applicable fiscal year, with the adjustments set forth below in the "Summary Compensation Table Total and Compensation Actually Paid Reconciliation for the PEO and Non-PEO NEOs" table.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6)Total stockholder return ("TSR") shown in the table above utilizes the S&P Software & Services Select Index which we use in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in the Company's consolidated audited financial statements filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for fiscal years 2022, 2023 2024, 2025 and 2026. The comparison of TSR assumes that $100 was invested for the period starting April 1, 2021 through March 31 of the applicable fiscal year in each of the Company's Common Stock and the S&P Software & Services Select Index. All dollar values assume reinvestment of the pre-tax value of dividends paid by companies included in the S&P Software & Services Select Index. The historical stock price performance of our Common Stock shown is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7)Amounts shown represent the amount of net income reflected in the Company's audited financial statements filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the applicable fiscal year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8)Pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we determined annual Adjusted EBITDA to be our most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to CAP to our PEO and other Non-PEO NEOs in fiscal year 2026. See Appendix A to this proxy statement for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Annually, we review our established performance financial metrics to ensure they maximize stockholder value. As such, we may determine a different financial performance measure in future years.

**Summary Compensation Table Total and Compensation Actually Paid Reconciliation for the PEO and Non-PEO NEOs**

The following table sets forth the adjustments that were made to Summary Compensation Table ("SCT") total compensation to calculate CAP to our PEO and the average CAP to our Non-PEO NEOs for each of the years in the PvP table above. Although the table below includes SCT compensation and CAP totals, the values are not comparable. The SCT values include base salary, short term annual cash incentive, and long-term equity incentives, and all other compensation received by the PEO and Non-PEO NEOs during the applicable fiscal year. The long-term equity incentive values for each year in the SCT are calculated by using the fair value of the grant at the time the grant was made. CAP values include a revaluation of the grants made during fiscal year 2026 at fiscal year-end, plus the fiscal year-over-year change in the fair value of multiple fiscal years of historical equity grants. CAP may be higher or lower than the SCT compensation values because CAP includes multiple fiscal years of grants and the calculation of CAP each year is heavily impacted by the change in the Company's stock price. The actual value of an equity award realized by the PEO or a Non-PEO NEO depends on several factors measured over multiple fiscal years to include but not limited to the Company's stock price, the financial performance of the Company, the relative TSR performance of the Company as compared to a peer group, and timing of stock option exercises.

**AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT**

The Audit Committee is composed of six directors identified below, each of whom is an independent director as defined by the applicable SEC rules and the NYSE listing standards. Five committee members, Joan Amble, Debra L. Dial, Ellen Jewett, Ryan P. Nolan, and Charles O. Rossotti, have been designated by the Board as "audit committee financial experts" under applicable SEC rules. For further description of each committee member's background and expertise, please refer to the director qualification section of our proxy statement beginning on page 7.

The Audit Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to, among other things, the Company's accounting, auditing, and financial reporting processes, internal controls, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and its code of ethics, and risk management, as discussed more fully in the Audit Committee charter, a copy of which is available on our website, www.boozallen.com. In accordance with its charter, the Audit Committee appoints the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, E&Y, subject to stockholder ratification, and conducts an annual review of its performance. In addition, the Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by E&Y, and the fees for those services. The Audit Committee also oversees the Company's internal audit function, including its annual audit plan, budget, and staffing. As part of its oversight role, the Audit Committee meets throughout the year, separately and together, with each of management, the Company's internal auditors, and E&Y.

Management has the primary responsibility for the Company's financial statements and accounting and reporting processes, including the systems of internal accounting control. E&Y is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"), and rendering opinions on whether the financial statements are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management of the Company and E&Y, the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 (the "Audited Financial Statements"), and their assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee also reviewed any significant audit findings identified by E&Y, and those identified by the Company's internal auditors as well as management's responses thereto. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with E&Y the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC.

The Audit Committee has also: (i) considered whether non-audit services provided by E&Y are compatible with its independence; (ii) received the written disclosures and the letter from E&Y required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding E&Y's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence; and (iii) discussed with E&Y its independence.

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, 2026 for filing with the SEC.

Ryan P. Nolan\*

Charles O. Rossotti

\*Mr. Nolan was appointed to the Audit Committee effective June 1, 2026 and did not participate in the review of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 or the recommendation to include such financial statements in the Form 10-K.

**PRE-APPROVAL OF SERVICES BY INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit, audit-related, tax, and other services performed by our 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.

------

**INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FEES**

The following table presents the Company's fees for services performed by its principal accounting firm, E&Y, during fiscal years 2026 and 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Audit fees principally include those for services related to the audit and quarterly reviews of the Company's consolidated financial statements and consultation on accounting matters.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Tax fees principally include domestic and foreign tax compliance and advisory services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)All other fees consists of fees not reported under the categories above and primarily includes fees for accounting research software.

**PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF ACCOUNTANTS**

The Audit Committee has appointed E&Y as the independent auditors to perform an integrated audit of the Company for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. E&Y served as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. 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 E&Y, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to hire the firm and may retain E&Y 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 E&Y 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 2027.**<br>

------

**PROPOSAL 3: ADVISORY VOTE ON COMPANY'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION**

As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the Company is providing stockholders with a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in the CD&A, the accompanying compensation tables, and the related narrative disclosure in this proxy statement. Although this vote is advisory, the Board and the Compensation, Culture and People Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and will review and consider the voting results when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

As described in detail in the CD&A, our compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate, and retain executives of outstanding ability to meet and exceed the demands of our customers, focus management on optimizing stockholder value and fostering an ownership culture, create appropriate rewards for outstanding performance and penalties for underperformance, and provide competitive rewards that foster collaboration by rewarding executives for their contribution to our overall performance and financial success while determining and allocating incentives based on our performance as a whole in recognition of the spirit and culture of collaboration that has defined us throughout our history. Accordingly, the Board submits the following resolution for a stockholder vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers as disclosed in the CD&A, the accompanying compensation tables, and the related narrative disclosure in the Company's proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

**The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis of this proxy statement.**

------

**PROPOSAL 4: STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL**

The Company has been informed that John Chevedden, 2215 Nelson Avenue, No. 205, Redondo Beach, CA, 90278, a beneficial owner of shares of our Class A common stock having a minimum value as set forth in Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act allowing submission of proposals by stockholders meeting certain requirements, intends to present the proposal set forth below at our Annual Meeting (the "<u>Stockholder Proposal</u>"). Mr. Chevedden has owned 50 shares of our Class A common stock since November 20, 2021. The Stockholder Proposal will be voted on at the Annual Meeting only if properly presented by or on behalf of Mr. Chevedden. In accordance with federal securities laws, the proposed stockholder proposal is presented verbatim from his submission. The Company disclaims all responsibility for the content of the resolution and the supporting statement, including other sources referenced in the supporting statement.

For the reasons stated in the Board of Directors' Statement in Opposition, which follows the Stockholder Proposal, the Board recommends that you vote "AGAINST" the Stockholder Proposal.

**<u>Stockholder Proposal</u>**

**Proposal 4 - Shareholder Right to Act by Written Consent**

![image (2).jpg](bah-20260611_g34.jpg)

Shareholders request that the board of directors take the necessary steps to permit written consent by the shareholders entitled to cast the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize an action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote thereon were present and voting (without any unnecessary restriction based on length of stock ownership or the method by which shareholders hold their shares).

This includes that there be no additional requirements, including procedural requirements, in regard to shareholders acting by written consent other than those specified in § 228 DGCL.

Shareholders acting by written consent is a means that shareholders of a company can use to put forth a proposal on a timely basis without waiting for the next annual shareholder meeting.

Many companies fail to understand that written consent is structured only for issues that have overwhelming shareholder support.

Written consent is a shareholder right that requires the formal backing of a majority of all shares outstanding. This majority support requirement in reality is much more than majority support because it is not economically possible to contact a significant percent of BAH shares to get their formal backing. Thus for an issue to still get majority support from all shares outstanding under written consent it could need 70% to 80% support from the BAH shares that it is economically possible to reach.

Yet many companies incorrectly give the impression that written consent gives too much influence to a minority. The only role for a minority with written consent is to initiate a proposal that has a chance of obtaining 70% to 80% BAH shareholder support. Unless there is 70% to 80% BAH shareholder support an issue fails.

Please vote yes:

**Shareholder Right to Act by Written Consent - Proposal 4**

------

**<u>Board of Directors' Statement in Opposition</u>**

The Board has carefully considered the Stockholder Proposal and believes that it is not in the best interests of the Company's stockholders. The Board believes that the Company's existing governance framework already provides stockholders with effective and appropriate rights to act on important matters while ensuring fairness, transparency and equal participation. For the reasons set forth below, our Board unanimously recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal.

**Stockholder Meetings Ensure Fairness and Transparency** 

The Board strongly believes stockholder meetings—whether annual or special—promote fairness, transparency and informed decision-making in ways that written consents do not. Meetings provide advance notice to all stockholders, ensure dissemination of disclosure materials and offer opportunities for questions and discussion before any vote is taken. By contrast, written consent could enable a subset of stockholders to take action without prior notice to others and possibly without any notice, before other stockholders have the opportunity to consider the matter, evaluate competing viewpoints or engage with the Company and the Board.

**Booz Allen Stockholders Have the Right to Call a Special Meeting**

Our stockholders already have meaningful rights to raise issues outside of the annual meeting cycle through our special meeting framework, which provides a clear, orderly and inclusive process for considering significant matters between annual meetings. Under our bylaws, stockholders who hold at least 25% of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock may request that the Company call a special meeting, subject to certain procedural requirements. Special meetings ensure that all stockholders receive disclosures filed with the SEC and can vote at the same time, minimizing the potential for confusion or coercion. In contrast, a written consent process could result in the non-consenting, minority stockholders not receiving any information until after the action has been taken.

**Booz Allen has a Corporate Governance Structure that Supports Stockholder Rights and Board Accountability** 

The Company maintains robust corporate governance practices, including independent leadership, with a Lead Independent Director when the Chair is not independent, and a Board that is majority independent (all directors, other than Mr. Rozanski, are independent). All directors are elected annually. Our bylaws provide for a majority voting standard in uncontested director elections coupled with a director resignation policy, which enhances accountability. We also maintain robust stockholder engagement practices and, consistent with past disclosures, do not have a stockholder rights plan (poison pill) in place. In light of these practices, the Board does not believe that adopting written consent would meaningfully enhance stockholder rights or long-term value.

**The Proposal Lacks Procedural Safeguards that Would Allow Stockholders to Make Informed Decisions**

The Board believes that adopting written consent could expose the Company and its stockholders to unnecessary risks. Actions by written consent may be undertaken on compressed timelines and without the customary sequencing of SEC filings, broad stockholder outreach or presentation of multiple perspectives that accompany a meeting. This may result in fragmented decision-making that does not reflect the considered judgment of the Company's stockholders.

**Conclusion**

For these reasons, the Board believes that the Stockholder Proposal is unnecessary and not in the best interests of the Company's stockholders. Accordingly, the Board recommends that stockholders vote AGAINST this proposal.

**<u>Required Vote and Recommendation</u>**

Approval of this 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.

**The Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST the Stockholder Proposal.**

**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.

**IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY PROCEDURES**

The Board is soliciting proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held virtually on July 22, 2026, beginning at 8:00 a.m. (EDT) at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BAH2026.

Why am I receiving these proxy materials?

You have received these proxy materials because our Board is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. As a stockholder, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the items of business described in this proxy statement. This proxy statement includes information that we are required to provide to you under SEC rules, and describes issues on which we would like you to vote at our Annual Meeting. It also gives you information on these issues so that you can make an informed decision. The proxy materials include our proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, our annual report to stockholders, which includes our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026 and the proxy card, or a voting instruction card, for the Annual Meeting.

Our Board has made this proxy statement and proxy card available to you on the Internet because you own shares of Class A common stock of the Company.

If you submit a proxy by using the Internet, by calling, or by signing and returning the proxy card, you will appoint Horacio D. Rozanski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Jacob Bernstein, Deputy General Counsel and Secretary, (with full power of substitution) as your representatives at the Annual Meeting. They will vote your shares at the Annual Meeting as you have instructed them or, if an issue that is not on the proxy card comes up for vote, in accordance with their best judgment. By submitting a proxy, you can ensure your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to submit a proxy in advance by using the Internet, by calling, or by signing and returning your proxy card. If you vote by Internet or by calling, you do not need to return your proxy card.

Why did I receive a one-page notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?

Pursuant to the "Notice and Access" rules adopted by the SEC, we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com. Accordingly, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to our stockholders. All stockholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or request to receive an electronic copy or printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request an electronic copy or printed copy may be found in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. In addition, stockholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis by submitting a request in writing to our Secretary at Booz Allen Hamilton, 8283 Greensboro Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102. We encourage stockholders to take advantage of the availability of proxy materials on the Internet to help reduce the environmental impact and cost of the Annual Meeting.

How can I sign up for the electronic proxy delivery service?

You can elect to receive an email that provides a link to our future proxy materials on the Internet. The proxy card or the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials will contain instructions on how to request electronic delivery of future proxy materials. Choosing to receive your future proxy materials by email will eliminate the cost of printing and mailing documents and will reduce the associated environmental impact. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it.

You may submit a question during the meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BAH2026 and following the instructions on the website. The Company will post responses to questions relevant to meeting matters that are not answered during the Annual Meeting due to time constraints on the Company's Investor Relations portion of our website at investors.boozallen.com, as soon as practicable after the Annual Meeting. The Chair of the meeting has broad authority to conduct the Annual Meeting in an orderly manner, including establishing rules of conduct. A copy of the rules of conduct will be available online at the Annual Meeting.

In addition, the Company will have technicians ready beginning fifteen minutes prior to the meeting to assist participating stockholders with any technical difficulties they may have accessing the virtual meeting. If participating stockholders encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during check-in or the meeting, they may call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual meeting platform log-in page.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Dissenters' rights are not applicable to any of the matters being voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

How many shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

In order for us to lawfully conduct business at the Annual Meeting, the holders of stock representing a majority of the voting power of all shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting must be present in person at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy. This is referred to as a quorum. Stockholders who attend the Annual Meeting online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BAH2026 will be deemed to be in person attendees for purposes of determining if a quorum has been met.

How many shares may I vote?

On June 1, 2026, 119,934,041 shares of our Class A common stock were outstanding. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote, and stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes for the election of directors.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

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. In this case, we are sending the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to you directly.

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." In this case, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will be forwarded to you by your broker or bank. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or bank how to vote your shares by following the voting instructions noted below.

What is the procedure for voting?

If you are a stockholder of record of Class A common stock, you can vote your shares at the Annual Meeting by attending the virtual meeting using the control number located on your proxy card, or the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials and submitting an electronic 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 must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the stockholder of record to be able to vote virtually at the Annual Meeting. You can vote your shares at the Annual Meeting by attending the virtual meeting using the control number located on your proxy card, or the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials and submitting an electronic 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.

Can I change my proxy?

You may revoke your proxy before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by delivering a signed revocation letter to the Secretary of the Company at 8283 Greensboro Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102, or by submitting a new proxy, dated later than your first proxy, in one of the ways described in the answer to the previous question. If you are virtually attending the Annual Meeting, you may revoke your proxy by virtually attending the Annual Meeting and voting during the Annual Meeting. Virtual attendance at the Annual Meeting will not by itself revoke a proxy.

Can other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?

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.

What is the vote required for each proposal?

For proposal 1, each of the directors shall be elected by a majority of the votes validly cast at the Annual Meeting. For proposals 2, 3 and 4, approval of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on the subject matter in question represented either in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

What if I am a stockholder of record and do not provide voting instructions when returning a proxy?

Stockholders should specify their choice for each matter on the proxy card. Proxies that are signed and returned but do not contain voting instructions will be voted:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FOR the election of all director nominees as set forth in this proxy statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FOR the ratification of the appointment of E&Y as the Company's independent registered accounting firm for fiscal year 2027;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FOR the approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• AGAINST the approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the stockholder proposal.

------

What if I am a beneficial owner and do not give voting instructions to my broker?

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 and the advisory vote on executive compensation. 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.

How are abstentions and broker non-votes counted?

Abstentions will be treated as present for purposes of determining a quorum. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote "against" the proposals for the ratification of an independent registered accounting firm, the advisory vote on the compensation program for the Company's named executive officers, and the stockholder proposal. However, abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the proposals for the election of directors, the advisory vote on the compensation program for the Company's named executive officers, and the stockholder proposal. Discretionary voting by a broker will be permitted for the proposal for the ratification of an independent registered public accounting firm, which is the only routine proposal.

Who will count the votes?

A representative from Broadridge Financial Services will tabulate the votes and the results will be certified by the inspector of election.

Who will bear the costs of soliciting votes for the Annual Meeting?

The Company will bear all costs of soliciting proxies. Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, we have elected to deliver a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to you and make the proxy materials available via the Internet at www.proxyvote.com, which may be accessed using the control number located on each proxy card. We have retained the services of Sodali & Co to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting. The estimated cost of such services is $15,000, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the process of soliciting proxies.

When will the Company announce the voting results?

The preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. The Company will report the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

Can I receive a copy of the Annual Report?

The annual report of the Company on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 is being furnished concurrently with this proxy statement to persons who were stockholders of record as of June 1, 2026, the record date for the Annual Meeting.

What is "householding" and how does it affect me?

In some cases, stockholders holding their shares in a brokerage or bank account who share the same surname and address and have not given contrary instructions are receiving only one copy of our annual report on Form 10-K and this proxy statement. This reduces the volume of duplicate information received at your household and helps to reduce the environmental impact and cost of our Annual Meeting. If you would like to have additional copies of these documents mailed to you, please write or call our Secretary at 8283 Greensboro Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102, telephone: (703) 902-5000. If you want to receive separate copies of the proxy statement, annual report on Form 10-K, or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as applicable, in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy per household, you should contact your bank, broker, or other nominee record holder.

**APPENDIX A**

**Non-GAAP Measures**

We publicly disclose certain non-GAAP financial measurements, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, 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 EBITDA as a measure of our core operating business, which excludes 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. These supplemental performance measurements may vary from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies in our industry. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and the explanatory footnotes regarding those adjustments, each as defined under GAAP, and (ii) use Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative to net income, as measures of operating results, as defined under GAAP. We have defined EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "EBITDA" represents net income before income taxes, interest expense, net and other income (expense), and depreciation and amortization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *"Adjusted EBITDA"* represents net income before income tax expense, interest expense, net and other income (expense), and depreciation and amortization and before certain other items, including the change in provision for claimed costs for historical rate years, financing transaction costs, DC tax assessment adjustment, the reserve associated with the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") investigation disclosed in Note 20, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the consolidated financial statements contained within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, the insurance recoveries related to the settlement of that matter, and other corporate expenses. The Company prepares *Adjusted EBITDA* to eliminate the impact of items it does 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.

In addition, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures as performance metrics for our performance-based restricted stock units granted in fiscal year 2026, as described in our proxy statement under the heading, "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Elements—Long-Term Equity Incentives—Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Grants": Adjusted EBITDA and Revenue. Adjusted EBITDA is as defined above, and we define Revenue for purposes of our performance-based restricted stock units as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Revenue" represents all consolidated GAAP revenue, adjusted to (i) account for material acquisitions or divestitures during the three-year performance period, but may be adjusted (ii) account for the cumulative impact of GAAP and/or cost accounting standards and financial reporting changes; (iii) account for the impact of government shutdowns during the performance period; and (iv) to exclude the impact of any unusual, infrequently occurring, or restructuring events as described in the Company's audited financial statements, notes to financial statements or in management's discussion and analysis in the Company's annual report for the applicable year that may have a material impact on Revenue results.
