Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 27, 2016, Leidos Holdings, Inc., as borrower, and Leidos, Inc., as guarantor, entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Four Year Credit Agreement dated as of March 11, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of April 19, 2013 and by Amendment No. 2 dated as of October 17, 2014 (the “Agreement”), with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and the other lending institutions named in the Agreement, whereby all but one lender agreed to a one-year extension of the Maturity Date, to March 11, 2018. As of March 11, 2017, the combined commitment of the lenders that agreed to the extension will be $472 million.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events

As previously disclosed, on January 26, 2016, Leidos Holdings, Inc. (“Leidos”) announced it entered into a definitive agreement with Lockheed Martin Corporation (“Lockheed Martin”) pursuant to which Leidos will combine with Lockheed Martin’s realigned Information Systems & Global Solutions business (IS&GS) (collectively, the “Business”) in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated January 26, 2016, among Leidos, Lockheed Martin, Abacus Innovations Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin (“Spinco”), and Lion Merger Co., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos (“Merger Sub”). In connection with the Merger Agreement, Lockheed Martin and Spinco entered into a Separation Agreement dated January 26, 2016 (the “Separation Agreement”), pursuant to which Lockheed Martin will separate the Business.

On January 26, 2016, Leidos filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, which included, among other things, descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Separation Agreement. This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to include, among other things, the Merger Agreement as Exhibit 2.1 and the Separation Agreement as Exhibit 2.2 under part (d) of Item 9.01 of this Current Report.

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of Lockheed Martin and Spinco solely for the benefit of Leidos and Merger Sub and representations and warranties of Leidos and Merger Sub solely for the benefit of Lockheed Martin and Spinco. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure letters that the parties have exchanged in connection with signing the Merger Agreement as of a specific date. The disclosure letters contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement. Therefore, investors and security holders should not treat them as categorical statements of fact. Moreover, these representations and warranties may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be material to investors. They were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the Merger Agreement and they are subject to more recent developments. Accordingly, investors and security holders should read the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement when filed not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about Lockheed Martin and Leidos and their subsidiaries that the respective companies include in reports and statements they file with the SEC.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

The forward looking statements contained in this document involve risks and uncertainties that may affect Leidos Holdings, Inc.’s (“Leidos”) operations, markets, products, services, prices and other factors as discussed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, economic, competitive, legal, governmental and technological factors. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the expectations of Leidos will be realized. This document also contains statements about the proposed business combination transaction between Leidos and Lockheed Martin Corporation (“Lockheed Martin”), in which Lockheed Martin will separate a substantial portion of its government information technology infrastructure services business and its technical services business, which have been realigned in the Information Systems & Global Solutions (IS&GS) business segment, and combine this business with Leidos in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction (the “Transaction”). Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements with respect to the Transaction, including risks relating to the completion of the transaction on anticipated terms and timing, including obtaining stockholder and regulatory approvals, anticipated tax treatment, the dependency of any split-off transaction on market conditions and the value to be received in any split-off transaction, unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, future prospects, business and management strategies for the management, expansion and growth of the new combined company’s operations, Leidos’ ability to integrate the businesses successfully and to achieve anticipated synergies, and the risk that disruptions from the Transaction will harm Leidos’ business. While the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Leidos’ consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. For a discussion identifying additional important factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, see Leidos’ filings with the SEC, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” in Leidos’ annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2015, and in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q which are available at http://www.Leidos.com and at the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov. Leidos assumes no obligation to provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

In connection with the proposed transaction, Abacus Innovations Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin created for the Transaction (“Spinco”), will file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4/S-1 containing a prospectus and Leidos will file with the SEC a proxy statement on Schedule 14A and a registration statement on Form S-4 containing a prospectus. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE REGISTRATION
