SAIC Signs Agreement to Acquire R.W. Beck, Inc.

SAN DIEGO, SEATTLE and MCLEAN, Va., July 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Science
Applications International Corporation (NYSE: SAI) announced today that it has
signed a definitive agreement to acquire R.W. Beck Group, Inc., a leading
provider of business and technical consulting services in engineering, energy
and infrastructure. R.W. Beck is headquartered in Seattle, Wash.

Founded in 1942, R. W. Beck serves public and private infrastructure
organizations and financiers in the energy, water, wastewater and solid waste
industries. The company's 550 technically-based business consultants --
including engineers, economists, analysts and other professionals -- develop
sustainable solutions specific to customers' engineering, economic, planning,
operational and organizational challenges. R.W. Beck's customers include
utility organizations, government entities, financial institutions and other
commercial customers.

The definitive agreement includes SAIC's acquisition of Beck Disaster Recovery
(BDR), Inc., one of the nation's premier emergency management consultancies.
R. W. Beck is the majority owner of BDR. The company provides all hazards
mitigation, preparedness/planning, response, recovery and reconstruction
services; continuity and emergency operations planning; risk management and
mitigation; and training services to local and state government agencies
nationwide.

"With the development and rehabilitation of many aspects of our nation's
infrastructure becoming increasingly critical, and the ongoing threat of
natural and man-made disasters, both SAIC and R. W. Beck leadership believe
that combining the capabilities of the two companies will produce results of
significant benefit to our clients and overall business," said Russ Stepp,
president and chief executive officer of R.W. Beck. "The leading-edge
technologies, services and expertise we bring will enable the development of
more robust solutions for current and future clients."

R.W. Beck will join SAIC's Infrastructure, Logistics and Product Solutions
Group led by Group President Joe Craver. The Group, one of four at SAIC,
provides technical and engineering solutions for a variety of customers and
mission areas including all hazards preparedness and logistics; energy
management services; and environmental support. R.W. Beck's core consulting
and engineering organization will join the Group's Energy, Environment, and
Infrastructure business unit led by J.T. Grumski to combine synergies in
environmental services, including water, wastewater, and solid waste
management; energy management and grid technology; infrastructure planning and
design-build; and capital program management. BDR will join the Homeland
Protection and Preparedness business unit led by John Ferriter to create a
comprehensive offering of preparedness, emergency response, training, and
disaster recovery for federal and municipal customers.

"With more than 65 years of business success and technical leadership, R.W.
Beck's expertise aligns well with that of SAIC, and will enable us to increase
our footprint in the energy and all hazards preparedness markets, and offer
enhanced capabilities, particularly in business and technical consulting, in
high growth areas," said Craver. "Our customer sets are complementary,
offering potential to cross-sell our services across a broad base of
commercial, municipal, and federal customers. The company has a record of
delivering outstanding customer value, organic growth, and profitability. Just
as important, both SAIC and R.W. Beck share a deep commitment to our
employees."

The acquisition is expected to close at the beginning of August 2009, subject
to R. W. Beck shareholder approval and customary closing conditions, including
expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act.
