## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1** 

**Leidos, Inc. Commences Tender Offer for Any and All 2.950% Senior Notes Due 2023** 

RESTON, Va., Feb. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — **Leidos Holdings, Inc.** (NYSE:LDOS) ("Holdings"), a FORTUNE<sup>®</sup> 500 science and technology leader, today announced its wholly-owned subsidiary, Leidos, Inc. ("Leidos"), has commenced an offer to purchase for cash (the "Tender Offer") any and all of its outstanding 2.950% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes"). The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated as of February 16, 2023 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related notice of guaranteed delivery (together with the Offer to Purchase, the "Offer Documents").

The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), on February 23, 2023, unless extended or earlier terminated as described in the Offer to Purchase (such time and date, as they may be extended, the "Expiration Time"). Holders of the 2023 Notes (the "Holders") may withdraw their validly tendered 2023 Notes as described below. Holders are urged to read the Offer Documents carefully before making any decision with respect to the Tender Offer.

Certain information regarding the 2023 Notes and the U.S. Treasury Reference Security, the Bloomberg reference page and the fixed spread is set forth in the table below.

The "Tender Offer Consideration" for each $1,000 principal amount of the 2023 Notes validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the fixed spread for the 2023 Notes specified above plus the yield based on the bid-side price of the U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified above, as quoted on the Bloomberg Bond Trader FIT3 series of pages, at 2:00 p.m. ET, on February 23, 2023, the date on which the Tender Offer is currently scheduled to expire.

In addition to the Tender Offer Consideration, Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on the 2023 Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the November 15, 2022 interest payment date up to, but not including, the date on which Leidos makes payment for such 2023 Notes, which date is currently expected to be February 28, 2023 (such date, as it may be extended, the "Settlement Date").

Holders must validly tender, and not validly withdraw, their 2023 Notes at or prior to the Expiration Time, or pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer Documents, to be eligible to receive in cash the Tender Offer Consideration and accrued and unpaid interest as described above.

Holders who validly tender their 2023 Notes may validly withdraw their tendered 2023 Notes at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Expiration Time and (ii) if the Tender Offer is extended, the 10th business day after commencement of the Tender Offer. 2023 Notes may also be validly withdrawn at any time after the 60th business day after commencement of the Tender Offer if for any reason the Tender Offer has not been consummated by that date.

The Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the successful completion by Leidos of an offering (the "Offering") of new senior notes on terms satisfactory to Leidos in its sole discretion, generating net proceeds in an amount that is sufficient to effect (i) the repurchase of the 2023 Notes validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer, and (ii) the repayment, in accordance with the satisfaction and discharge terms of the indenture governing the 2023 Notes, of all 2023 Notes remaining outstanding after the Tender Offer, if applicable, including the payment of accrued and unpaid interest and costs and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing. If any 2023 Notes remain outstanding after the consummation of the Tender Offer, Leidos expects (but is not obligated) to satisfy and discharge such 2023 Notes in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the related indenture. The Offering is not conditioned on the completion of the Tender Offer.

BofA Securities, Inc. ("BofA") and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("Citigroup") are acting as the dealer managers (the "Dealer Managers") in connection with the Tender Offer, and Global Bondholder Services Corporation ("GBSC") is serving as the depositary agent and information agent for the Tender Offer. Copies of the Offer Documents are available via the Tender Offer website at https://www.gbsc-usa.com/leidos/ or by contacting GBSC via telephone at +1 (212) 430 -3774 (collect) or +1 (855) 654–2014 (toll-free) or via e-mail at contact@gbsc-usa.com.

------

None of Holdings, Leidos, their respective board of directors, the Dealer Managers, GBSC or the trustee for the 2023 Notes, or any of their respective affiliates, is making any recommendation as to whether Holders should tender any 2023 Notes in response to the Tender Offer. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender any of their 2023 Notes and, if so, the principal amount of 2023 Notes to tender.

This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any of the 2023 Notes, or an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase the new notes pursuant to the Offering nor is it a solicitation for acceptance of the Tender Offer, nor shall it constitute a notice of redemption under the indenture governing the 2023 Notes. Leidos is making the Tender Offer only by, and pursuant to the terms of, the Offer Documents. The Tender Offer is not being made in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.
