As previously reported in a Current Report on From 8-K filed on March 3, 2011, Global Defense Technology & Systems, Inc. (“GTEC” or the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 2, 2011, with Sentinel Acquisition Corporation (the “Purchaser”) and Sentinel Acquisition Holdings Inc. (the “Merger Agreement”). In connection with the Merger Agreement, on March 3, 2011 the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “License Termination and Continuing Contracts Agreement”) with Global Strategies Group Holding, S.A. (“GLOBAL”), the former indirect parent of the Company. The License Termination and Continuing Contracts Agreement sets forth certain agreements between GLOBAL and the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) certain agreements between GLOBAL and the Company in effect prior to the closing of the Offer (the “Closing Date”) will continue to be in effect following the Closing Date, (ii) certain bids, proposals and teaming agreements in which both parties are involved will continue following the Closing Date, (iii) following the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company will initiate a rebranding effort that will, among other things, result in the Company’s ceasing to use the abbreviation “GTEC” as of the Closing Date and (iv) the Trademark License Agreement in effect between the parties, pursuant to which the Company is entitled to use certain marks of GLOBAL, will terminate as of the Closing Date. This description of the License Termination and Continuing Contracts Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
