Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, and as a result the Company will continue as the surviving corporation and be a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”)~~. The Merger Agreement was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).~~

Additionally, the Company’s restricted stock units granted under the DynCorp International 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan will vest at the effective time of the Merger and will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, DIV Holding LLC (“DIV Holding”), the largest stockholder of the Company’s Common Stock, and affiliates thereof, entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with Parent and Merger Sub whereby DIV Holding and its affiliate, committed, among other things, subject to the terms and conditions of the Voting Agreement, to vote 34.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock for the adoption of the Merger Agreement. The Voting Agreement automatically terminates upon the termination of the Merger Agreement.

Parent and Merger Sub have obtained equity and debt financing commitments for the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the aggregate proceeds of which will be sufficient for Parent to pay the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration and all related fees and expenses. Cerberus Series Four Holdings, LLC, an investment fund affiliated with Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. (“Cerberus”), has committed to purchase equity interests in Parent amounting to $591.6 million in the aggregate on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in an equity

commitment letter dated April 11, 2010 (the “Equity Commitment Letter”), and have provided the Company with a limited guarantee in favor of the Company dated April 11, 2010 (the “Limited Guarantee”), guaranteeing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Limited Guarantee, the payment of certain monetary obligations that may be owed by Parent pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

Bank of America Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Barclays Bank PLC, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, and certain of their respective affiliates (the “Debt Commitment Parties”) have committed to provide up to $715 million in senior secured credit facilities (comprised of a term loan facility of up to $565 million and a revolving credit facility of up to $150 million) and senior unsecured term loans of up to $455 million, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a commitment letter dated April 11, 2010 (the “Debt Commitment Letter”). It is expected that at the consummation of the Merger, senior unsecured notes will be issued and sold by Merger Sub (and assumed by the Company) in lieu of a portion or all of the drawings under the senior unsecured term loans. The obligations of the Debt Commitment Parties to provide debt financing under the Debt Commitment Letter are subject to a number of conditions, which we believe are customary for financings of this type or are otherwise consistent with certain conditions in the Merger Agreement. The final termination date for the Debt Commitment Letter is the same as under the Merger Agreement, except to the extent the Merger Agreement is extended by Parent in accordance with the terms thereof.

During the period beginning on April 11, 2010, and continuing until 12:01 a.m. on the 28th day after such date (the “No Shop Period Start Date”), the Company may initiate, solicit and encourage any alternative acquisition proposals from third parties, provide non-public information and participate in discussions and negotiate with third parties with respect to acquisition proposals. Starting on the No Shop Period Start Date, the Company will become subject to customary “no-shop” restrictions on its ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties and to provide information to and engage in discussions with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals. The no-shop provision, however, is subject to a customary “fiduciary-out” provision, which allows the Company under certain circumstances to provide information to and participate in discussions with third parties with respect to unsolicited alternative acquisition proposals that the Board of Directors has determined that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a superior proposal.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and Parent, including the right of the Company to terminate the Merger Agreement to accept a superior proposal. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Company will be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $30 million. The Company may also be obligated to reimburse transaction expenses incurred by Parent and Merger Sub up to $12 million upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, Parent will be required to pay the Company a reverse termination fee of $100 million. In addition, under certain circumstances, in the event that a party establishes that the other party has committed a “Willful Breach” (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Merger Agreement, then the party that has committed the Willful Breach shall be required to pay the non-breaching party liquidated damages in the amount of $300 million.

The representations, warranties and covenants made in the Merger Agreement by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub were qualified and subject to important limitations agreed to by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub in connection with negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement. In particular, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and warranties were negotiated with the principal purposes of establishing the circumstances in which a party to the Merger Agreement may have the right not to close the Merger if the representations and warranties of the other party prove to be untrue due to a change in circumstance or otherwise, and allocating risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement, rather than establishing matters as facts. The representations and warranties may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders and reports and documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in some cases were qualified by disclosures that were made by each party to the other, which disclosures were not reflected in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement is filed herewith to provide stockholders with information regarding its terms. Factual disclosures about the Company contained in the Company’s public reports filed with the SEC may supplement, update or modify the factual disclosures about the Company contained in the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement, Limited Guarantee and Voting Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, Limited Guarantee and Voting Agreement, as applicable, a copy of each of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1, Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 9.1 hereto, as applicable, and the respective terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.03 Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders

Rights Plan Amendment

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Board approved, and the Company entered into, Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Rights Agreement, dated as of May 3, 2006, by and between the Company and The Bank of New York, as rights agent (the “Rights Agreement”). The Amendment, among other things, permits the execution of the Merger Agreement and the performance and consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, without triggering the provisions of the Rights Agreement and provides for the expiration of the Rights Agreement upon the consummation of the Merger.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On April 12, 2010, the Company announced that it entered into the Merger Agreement by press release, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
