I.
Introduction.
The
heated rhetoric and conspiracy theories
that
constitute
Kimberlin's Complaint
fail
to state any
claim
against the HB
Gary
Defendants on
which relief
can be granted. As is set
forth
at length in the Motions to Dismiss fi led by Defendants
United
States Chamber of
Commerce
(Docket No. 40) and Palantir Technologies, Inc. (Docket No. 50),
which
are
incorporated and adopted by reference herein (the Incorporated
Motions ), Kimber l in
has
not suffered any compensable
injury, failed
to
fi le
his
Complaint within
the applicable
limitation
periods, and has not
plausibly pled
the elements of any of the statutory or tort
causes of actions that he asserts. See Docket N o . 40-1 at §§ 1-3; Docket N o . 50-1 at § 3.
Those claims must be dismissed.
Rather than burdening the Court
with
restating the same arguments set forth in the
Incorporated
Motions,
the H B
Gary
Defendants, for purposes
of judicial
economy, adopt and
direct
the Court to the pertinent arguments set forth in the Incorporated
Motions.
1
This
M ot ion
instead addresses the substance of
Kimberlin's
Count II for fraudulent conveyance against the
H B
Gary
Defendants relating to the sale ofthe
assets
o f
H B
Gary/Federal
(as
identified
by
Kimber l in
in his Complaint) to
ManTech.
L ike his other wi ld allegations,
Kimberlin's
fraudulent conveyance count
fails
to state a claim on which relief can be granted.
Kimberl in
does not allege
that
the sale of
assets
by any of the H B
Gary
Defendants to
ManTech
was
without
fair
consideration. Nor does
Kimb er l in
allege plausibly, much less
with
the required
particularity,
that
any of the H B
Gary
Defendants engaged in actual fraud in conducting the
asset
sale. Rather,
Kimber l in
has pled the occurrence of a common
commercial
transaction in
which one business purchases the assets, but not the liabilities, of another. Because
Kimberl in

Gary
Defendants request and reserve the right to adopt and incorporate arguments
set forth in Motions to Dismiss fi led by any other Defendant in this action.

has not plausibly alleged facts from which the Court could
find
that
this transaction
was
fraudulent, his Count II fai ls to state a claim on which relief may be granted.
Only two factual allegations in the Complaint are about
Defendant
ManTech. The
first, paragraph 9, alleges that ManTech is a cyber-security company and acquired HB Gary,
Inc.'s
assets
in 2012. The second factual allegation, paragraph 49, alleges
that
ManTech
purchased
the assets of H B Gary, Inc. with knowledge that HB Gary, Inc. had been involved
in illegal activities and structured the purchase to avoid liabilities. Based on
those
alleged
facts, Kimberlin
alleges
that ManTech conspired to
make
a
fraudulent
conveyance. As set
forth herein, Count 2 fails to
state
a claim for
fraudulent
conveyance and should be dismissed.
N o
other
claim in the Complaint is directed at ManTech.
II.
Statement Regarding Parties.
2
Kimberlin's Complaint fails to properly or clearly identify the parties against whom
his Complaint is
asserted.
The Complaint's caption lists as a party-defendant HB
Gary/Federal. The section of
Kimberlin's
Complaint regarding the
parties
to this action
does
not identify or provide any additional information about the HB Gary/Federal entity listed
in the caption. See Complaint at f f 1-20.
Kimber l in
later identifies HB Gary/Federal as an
amalgamation of two separate and legally-distinct
entities
which Kimberlin identifies as HB
Gary
Federal and H B Gary. Complaint at pg. 16 f 5.
3
2
This Statement is offered for clarification purposes due to the lack of proper party
identification in Kimberlin 's Complaint. Regardless of who the parties to the
events
alleged
in the Complaint are, Kimberlin's Count II (along with
each
and every other
count
averred
against the HB Gary Defendants in his Complaint) fails to state a claim on which relief may
be granted.

At
page
12 of his Complaint, Kimberlin
abandons
the sequential numbering of his
allegations and restarts his
numbered
paragraphs from the beginning at
1.

7/57
Kimberlin's Complaint is primarily aimed at alleged actions involving Team
Themis.
Kimber l in
identifies HB Gary/Federal as a defendant to five (5) different counts
that
are
based
on the alleged plan developed by Team Themis, which plan
never came
to
fruition.
4
The exhibits to his Complaint identify HB Gary Federal as HB Gary Federal,
L L C on documents relating to Team Themis. Complaint, at Exhibit E (alleged proposal to
Hunton & Wi l l i ams, L L P from Berico Technologies,
L L C ,
Palantir Technologies, Inc., and
H B Gary Federal L L C ) ; Exhibit RR (alleged teaming agreement between Berico
Technologies, L L C and HB Gary Federal L L C to submit a proposal to Hunton &
Wil l iams,
L L P ) .
H B Gary, Inc. is not listed as one of the parties submitting the proposal or
participating in the teaming agreement. Complaint at
E x .
E, RR.
Although Kimber l in seeks
to treat the two legally-distinct entities of H B Gary Federal,
L L C
and HB Gary, Inc. as a single entity that he calls HB Gary/Federal, he
cannot
by slight
of hand or slip of allegation transform two entities into one.
G i ven
that the bulk of the
Complaint
is aimed at the alleged activities of Team Themis, this M ot i on is fi led on behalf of
H B Gary Federal,
L L C .
The party whose assets were sold to ManTech, on the other hand, was H B Gary, Inc.
See Exhibit 1 hereto, Form 10-Q
dated
May 4, 2012 fi led by ManTech International
Corporation, at pg. 27 ( On
Apr i l
2,
2012,
we completed the acquisition of certain assets of
H B G a r y , Inc. ).
5
HB Gary, Inc. subsequently changed its corporate name to Terracina
4
The five counts involving Team Themis are: Count 1 (Conspiracy to Violate Ci v i l Rights
Act), Count 3 (Conspiracy to Invade Privacy - Intrusion Upon Seclusion), Count 6
(Commission
of and Conspiracy to Commit
R IC O ) ,
Count 7 (Conspiracy to Interfere with
Business Relations and Prospective Business Advantage), and Count 8 (Intentional Infliction
of Emotional Distress).

Ventures, Inc. ( Terracina ). Terracina has not been served with Kimberlin's Complaint and
is not before the Court at this time.
III. Standard of
Review.
This
Mot ion under Rule 12(b)(6)
tests
the legal
sufficiency
of Kimberlin's Complaint.
Presley v. City of Charlottesville, 464 F.3d 480, 483 (4th Cir. 2006). While the Court accepts
Kimberlin's
well-pleaded factual allegations as true,
that
deference is inapplicable to legal
conclusions
and [tjhreadbare recitals o f the elements of a cause of action, supported by
mere conclusory statements, do not suffice. Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U . S . 662, 678 (2009). In
order to survive this
Mot ion , Kimber l in
must
state[]
a plausible
claim
for
relief
that
permit[s] the court to infer more than the mere possibility of misconduct. Id. at 679. The
required well-pleaded facts in
Kimberlin's
Complaint must raise a right to relief above the
speculative level and be more than merely consistent with the occurrence of the alleged
fraudulent conveyance. Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S . 544, 555, 557 (2007). In
assessing this
Mot ion ,
the Court may consider documents
that
are integral to the Complaint
and also may consider extrinsic facts that are susceptible to judicial notice. Am. Chiro. Ass n
v. Trigon Healthcare, Inc., 367 F.3d 212, 234 (4th Cir. 2004); Brooks v. Arthur, 626 F.3d 194,
200 (4th Cir . 2010).
Kimberlin's
Count II alleges
that
the H B Gary Defendants engaged in actual fraud in
conducting the asset sale. Complaint at % 66. Allegations of fraud are subject not only to
Twombly s and Iqbal s
plausibility
standard; but also to Fed. R. Civ . Proc. 9(b)'s particularity
requirement. Under Fed. R.
Civ .
Proc. 9(b)'s standard, Kimber l in is required to set for th 'the
who, what, when, where, and how of the alleged fraud' before access to the discovery process
Litigation, 876 F.Supp.2d 616, 626 n.7 (D. M d. 2012), and may therefore consider this
evidence in deciding this
Mot ion .
Brooks, 626 F.3d at 200.

should
be granted.' Murphy v. Capella Educ. Co., 589 Fed.
A p p x .
646, 652 (4th Cir . 2014)
(quoting United States ex rel. Wilson v. Kellogg Brown Root, 525 F.3d 370, 379 (4th Cir .
2008)).
IV. Kimberlin Fails to State a Claim Upon Which Relief May Be Granted Under the
Maryland Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyances
Act.
A .
Kimber l in is Not a Creditor of the H B Gary Defendants Because He Fails to
Plausibly
Allege A n y Substantive Cause of Act ion.
A t the outset, Kimberlin's Count II must be dismissed because he does not plausibly
allege any other substantive cause of action against the H B Gary Defendants and is, therefore,
not a creditor of the H B Gary Defendants. As described in the Incorporated
Motions,
Kimber l in affirmatively alleges that he discovered his causes of action by March 11, 2011
(see Complaint at \ 46), rendering his claims time-barred, has not suffered any
legally-
cognizable
injury, and does not plausibly allege the substantive elements of the causes of
action
he attempts to plead. Even if any of Kimberlin's claims survived the
M ot i on
to
Dismiss stage (though they clearly should not),
Kimber l in does
not and cannot advance
those
claims against ManTech or HB Gary, Inc. (the parties to the conveyance). Kimber l in plainly
is not and was not a creditor or either the buyer or seller to the asset purchase.
The
Maryland
Uniform Fraudulent Conveyances Act ( M U F C A ) provides a claim
only
for creditors. M d . Code, CommT. Law Art . , §§ 15-209, 15-210. A creditor is a
person who has any claim, whether matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated,
absolute, fixed, or contingent. M d. Code,
CommT.
Law
Art . ,
§ 15-201(d).
Kimber l in
has
not plausibly alleged that he is a creditor of the HB Gary Defendants because his Complaint
does
not show that he has any claim against any of the H B Gary Defendants. Id.
Accordingly, Kimberlin's Count II must be dismissed for lack of standing.
-
8/20/2019 ECF 57 Redacted
10/57
B .
Kimber l in
Has Not Alleged Anv Constructive Fraud Claim Under
M U F C A
Because He Does Not
Allege that ManTech's
Asset Purchase Was Without
Fair Consideration.
M U F C A
provides constructive and actual fraud fraudulent conveyance claims.
Each
of
M U F C A ' s
four constructive fraud claims requires that the conveyance is made without. .
. fair
consideration.
M d .
Code, CommT.
Law Art.,
§§ 15-204, 15-205, 15-206, 15-208.
Kimber l in does not allege anywhere in his Complaint that the asset sale to ManTech
di d
not provide for the payment of
fair
consideration for the purchased assets. Because
Kimber l in
has
failed
to plead, much less plausibly plead, this essential element of a
M U F C A
constructive fraud
claim,
his Count II must be dismissed.
Beyond
the
absence
of any averment that the asset sale lacked
fair
consideration,
Kimber l in
has also completely
failed
to allege other elements of his
M U F C A
claim. He has
not alleged that H B Gary, Inc. (which is not a party to this case) was insolvent at the time of
the sale or was rendered insolvent by the sale. M d. Code,
CommT.
Law
Art.,
§ 15-204. He
has not alleged that H B Gary, Inc. was engaged in business with unreasonably small capital,
M d .
Code, CommT. La w
Art.,
§ 15-205; in fact, Kimber l in alleges the opposite by averring
that Defendant
H B
Gary/Federal shuttered its operations and was no longer engaging in any
business. Complaint at | 49. Nor has he alleged that H B Gary, Inc. intended or believed it
would
incur debts beyond its ability to pay after the closing of the asset sale. M d . Code,
CommT.
Law Art., § 15-206.
Kimber l in
has simply alleged none o f the elements of a
M U F C A constructive fraud claim.
C. Kimberlin's
Actual Fraud Allegations are Not Plausible and Lack the Required
Particularity.
Kimber l in
also
falls
far short of pleading an actual fraud
M U F C A
claim. See Md .
Code, CommT. Law Art ., § 15-207. Although Kimberlin's actual fraud claim is subject to
-
8/20/2019 ECF 57 Redacted
11/57
both the
Twomblyllqbal
plausibility
standard and Fed. R. Ci v. Proc. 9(b)'s particularity
requirement, it meets neither test and must be dismissed.
The sole averments in
Kimberlin's
Complaint regarding the H B
Gary
Defendants'
asset
sale are as
follows:
49. Upon
information and belief, in 2012, Defendant HB Gary/Federal
shuttered its operations in order to
limit
its
liability
regarding the Team Themis
activity. It then intentionally
sold
its
assets
to Defendant Mantech to protect
them
from liability.
Defendant Mantech purchased
these assets
on or about
Apr i l
1, 2012,
with fu l l
laiowledge
that
HB Gary/Federal had been
involved
with
the
illegal
Team Themis activities and
knowingly
structured its purchase
to
l imi t
its purchase to
assets
and to
avoid liabilities
66.
Defendants H B Gary/Federal,
Hoglund
and Mantech conspired to and
did
fraudulently, knowingly and intentionally transfer
assets
belonging to HB
Gary/Federal
in order to
shield
them
from
legal process in this case, and
created a sales agreement to
specifically limit l iabil i ty
of Mantech for the
i l legal
conduct alleged above by
H B
Gary/Federal.
67.
Defendants
H B Gary/Federal
were advised by letter in
March 2011 that
they was
[sic]
facing legal action
with
regard to the
il legal
conduct alleged
above.
Upon
receiving that letter, it
[sic]
initiated action to transfer
assets
to
Defendant Mantech to keep them beyond the reach of
Plaintiff,
a future
creditor,
thereby causing him harm.
Complaint
at f f 49, 66-67. These averments fal l far short of what is required for actual fraud.
There is no allegation of any misrepresentation made or concealment engaged in by any
ofthe
H B Gary
Defendants.
Kimber l in fails
to identify any misleading, deceptive, or false
statement
or action by any of the
H B
Gary
Defendants in connection
with
the
asset
sale, much
less the who, what, when, where, and how of the alleged fraud as Fed. R. Civ . Proc. 9(b)
requires. Murphy, 589
Fed.Appx.
at 652 (internal quotation omitted).

shortly after the asset sale demonstrates the exact opposite by plainly stating the terms of the
transaction:
O n
Apr i l 2, 2012, we completed the acquisition of certain
assets
of
H B G ary ,
Inc.
(HBGary) .
The acquisition was completed through an
asset
purchase
agreement (HBGary Purchase Agreement) dated February 27, 2012, by and
among a subsidiary of
ManTech
International
Corporation, H B G a r y ,
Inc., and
the shareholders of H B G ary .
ManTech
funded the
acquisition with
cash on hand. The
preliminary
purchase
price was $23.8
mil l ion
and may increase or decrease depending on the
finalization
o f the post-closing
working
capital adjustment.
Form
10-Q dated M ay 4, 2012, at pg.
17,
attached as
Exhibit
1.
This
was not a transaction
that took place in the shadows through fraud or deceit; it was a transaction that was ful ly
disclosed
to the government and the general
public.
Nor is
there
any allegation by
Kimberl in
that the H B
Gary
Defendants are related parties, that H B
Gary,
Inc. retained any interest i n the
assets
conveyed, and
obviously there
was
significant
consideration
paid. Kimber l in
must do
more than plead facts merely consistent
with
a fraudulent conveyance, Twombly, 550
U.S.
at 557, but
fails
to do so because nothing
that
he pleads in his
Complaint plausibly
suggests
anything
other than an arms-length transaction between
commercial
parties.
The fact that one purpose of the asset sale may have been to
limit liability
is
insufficient
to allege a fraudulent conveyance. In
Christian v. Minn. Mining Mfg. Co.,
126
F.Supp.2d
951 (D. M d . 2001), this Court rejected a claim
that
3 M engaged in a fraudulent
conveyance when it
sold
its
silicone
implant
division
even though 3M
acloiowledge[d] that
the fear of future lawsuits factored into its decision to divest.
Id.
at 961. The Court in
Christian
also notably ruled
that
the presence in the
asset
purchase agreement of an
indemnification clause limiting the buyer's post-sale
liabil i ty
did not give rise to a fraudulent
- 8 -
-
8/20/2019 ECF 57 Redacted
13/57
conveyance. Id. Christian makes clear that a motivation to avoid future liabil i ty does not
give rise to a fraudulent conveyance.
Kimberlin's allegation that the H B Gary Defendants entered into the asset sale to
protect HB Gary, Inc.'s assets from liabil i ty is nonsensical and implausible. Complaint at f f
49,
66. An y rights that
Kimber l in
may have
would
not be enforced by an in rem proceeding
directly against H B Gary, Inc.'s assets, but would instead be enforced by obtaining an in
personam money judgment against H B
Gary,
Inc. itself. Kimberlin's averment that the HB
Gary
Defendants
sold
the assets, Complaint at f 49, is
telling.
A sale is merely the
exchange of one set of
assets
for a different type of
asset,
money. Because
Kimber l in does
not, and cannot, allege facts demonstrating that the asset sale was for less than
fair
consideration, Kimber l in cannot plausibly allege that the asset sale was a fraudulent
conveyance that hindered
Kimber l in
or any other creditor or potential creditor in any way.
Nor does the fact that ManTech allegedly took actions to limit its liabil i ty, see
Complaint at ff 49, 66, give rise to a fraudulent conveyance. The general rule under
Maryland law is that ManTech as the acquirer of another corporation's assets does not also
acquire the predecessor's debts and liabilities. Academy of IRM v. LVI Environmental
Services, Inc., 344 Md. 434, 451, 687 A.2 d 669, 677 (1997).
Kimber l in would
have this
Court turn the general rule on its head by ruling that a fraudulent conveyance necessarily
occurs when a successor avails itself of the traditional rule that a purchaser of
assets does
not
also purchase liabilities. In the absence of plausible and particularized allegations of fraud,
this is not the law of Maryland. Id.
Kimber l in
does not allege any misrepresentation or concealment and does not allege
well-pleaded facts from
which
the Court
could f i nd
a fraudulent conveyance.
Kimberlin's
- 9 -
-
8/20/2019 ECF 57 Redacted
14/57
averments amount to, at
best,
a claim that the H B Gary Defendants exchanged one set of
assets
(those
formerly used in HB Gary, Inc.'s business) for a more liquid asset of cash.
Again ,
there is no allegation that
H B Gary,
Inc. did not receive
fair
consideration for the sale
of its assets.
6
This did not hinder creditors; i f anything it made H B Gary, Inc. more
susceptible to collection efforts by replacing potentially i l l iquid business
assets
with cash.
Because
Kimber l in fails
to allege, much less allege
with
particularity, any actual fraudulent
representation or concealment and fails to plausibly aver that the asset sale hindered any
creditor,
Kimber l in
has not
stated
a
M U F C A
actual fraud claim.
D.
Hoglund
is Not a Proper Party to
Kimberlin's
Fraudulent Conveyance
Claim.
Even
i f
Kimberlin's
allegations
stated
a plausible fraudulent conveyance claim
with
respect to the asset sale, which they do not, Hoglund in his individual capacity is not a proper
party to that claim.
The only allegation pertinent to Count II regarding Hoglund is that Hoglund conspired
in
the
asset
sale. Complaint at
66. First, Hoglund cannot conspire
with
H B
Gary,
Inc., as
Maryland law is well-settled that an employee cannot conspire with his employer. Marmott
v. Md. Lumber Co., 807 F.2d 1180, 1184 (4th
Cir.
1986).
Further, Kimber l in does not claim that any of
Hoglund's
personal assets were
transferred or that Hoglund received any of the
assets
that were
sold.
Accordingly, there is no
relief that can be obtained against Hoglund on the fraudulent conveyance claim. M U F C A
permits the Court to have the conveyance set aside or levy on or garnish the property
conveyed as
i f
the conveyance was not made.
M d .
Code,
CommT.
Law
Art.,
§ 15-209(a)(l)-
(2). It also permits the Court to restrain the defendant fro m disposing of his property and

Exhibit 1 reflects a substantial preliminary sales price.

-
8/20/2019 ECF 57 Redacted
15/57
appoint a receiver to take charge of the property. M d . Code,
CommT.
Law Art., § 1 5 -
210(b)(l)-(2).
None of those forms of relief are applicable to
Hoglund
because Kimber l in has
not alleged that any of Hoglund's property has been conveyed or that Hoglund received any
of H B Gary, Inc.'s property.
Nor can Kimber l in seek damages from Hoglund for conspiracy (if one was even
possible) relating to any fraudulent conveyance
because
Kimberlin's claims against any ofthe
H B Gary Defendants have not matured through the entry of a judgment in his favor. Van
Royen v. Lacey, 262 Md . 94, 99, 277 A.2 d 13, 15 (1971) ( [A] general creditor, without a
l ien,
has no legal right or interest in the debtor's property and cannot be legally injured by any
action
by way of conspiracy on the part of the debtor and others to dispose of his property in
order to evade payment of his general obligations. ).
Kimberlin's
status as a an alleged
potential creditor lacking a judgment lien is not, . . ., sufficient to maintain a suit for
conspiracy to defraud. Id. at 17.
7
As set forth earlier, Kimber l in has no val id claims against any of the H B Gary Defendants
and is not even a potential creditor.
-

V . Conclusion.
For
the
reasons
set forth above, and in the Incorporated
Motions,
each and every
cause
of action alleged by
Kimber l in
against the HB
Gary
Defendants should be dismissed for
failure
to state a plausible
claim
on
which relief
may be granted and failure to plead fraud
with
particularity.

Introduction
and Overview
ManTech International Corporation (depending on the circumstances, ManTech Company we our ours or us ) is a
leading provider of innovative technologies and solutions for mission-critical national security programs for the intelligence
community; the Departments of Defense,
State,
Homeland Security, Energy and Justice,
including
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI); the space community; and other U.S. federal government customers. Our services include the following solution sets that are
aligned
with the long-term needs of our national security clients: command, control, communications, computers, intelligence,
surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) lifecycle support; cyber security; global logistics support; intelligence/counter-intelligence
support; information technology (IT) modernization and sustainment; systems engineering; test and evaluation; and health IT. We
support major national missions, such as military readiness, terrorist threat detection, information security and border protection. Our
employees
operate primarily in
the United
States,
as wel l as
in
numerous locations internationally.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements
have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the
annual financial
statements,
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States
o f
America,
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
those
rules and regulations. We recommend that you read these unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related
notes
included in our
Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the
fiscal
year ended December 31, 2011, previously filed with the SE C. We believe that the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements
in this Form 10-Q reflect all adjustments that are necessary to fairly present
the financial
position,
results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results o f operations for such
interim
periods are not necessarily indicative
of
the results that can be expected for the fiill year.
3. Acquisitions
Our
acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under the Accounting Standards
Codification
(ASC)
805, Business Combination.
Evolvent Technologies Inc.-On January 6, 2012, we completed the acquisition
of Evolvent
Technologies, Inc. (Evolvent). The
results of
Evolvent's
operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements since that date. The acquisition was
completed through an equity purchase agreement dated January 6, 2012, by and among ManTech, shareholders and warrantholders of
Evolvent, and its
parent,
and Prudent Management,
L L C
in its capacity as the sellers' representative.
Evolvent provides services in clinical IT, clinical business intelligence, imaging cyber security, behavioral health, tele-health,
software development and systems integration. Its systems and processes enable
better
decision-making at the point of care and full
integration
of
medical information across different platforms. At January 6, 2012, Evolvent had 189 employees.
This
acquisition
wi l l
enable ManTech to expand its customer relationships and deliver IT solutions through Evolvent's existing
relationships with the Department of Defense health organizations, the Veterans Administration and the Department of Health and
Human Services.
ManTech funded the acquisition with cash on hand. The preliminary purchase price was $39.0 million and may increase or
decrease depending on the finalization o f post-closing working capital adjustments. The equity purchase agreement did not contain
provisions for contingent consideration. Pursuant to the equity purchase agreement, $8.0 million was placed into an escrow account to
satisfy potential indemnification
liabilities
of
Evolvent.
The escrow period
wi l l
expire 36 months after the purchase closing
date.
At
March 31,
2012, the balance in the escrow account was $8.0 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred $0.2 million of
acquisition
costs. These costs are included
in
general and administrative expense in our income statement.
The preliminary purchase price of $39.0 million was allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities based on their fair value at
the date of acquisition. The
following
information
represents
the preliminary purchase price allocation, as we are still in the process
of
reviewing the
working
capital accounts at the date of acquisition for potential
adjustments
to the purchase price . Total
assets
were
$46.7
million,
including goodwill and intangible assets recognized in connection
with
the acquisition, and total
liabilities
were $8.6
million.
Included in total assets were $3.7 million in acquisition related intangible assets. We recorded goodwill of $34.2
million,
which is not deductible for tax purposes. Recognition of
goodwill
is largely attributed to the highly skilled employees and the value

In
allocating the preliminary purchase price, we consider among other factors, analyses of
historical
performance and
estimates
of
future perfonnance of Evolvent's contracts. The components of other intangible
assets
associated with the acquisition were
customer relationships and backlog valued at $3.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Customer contracts and related
relationships
represent
the underlying relationships and
agreements
with Evolvent's existing customers. Customer relationships and
backlog are amortized over their estimated useful lives
o f
20 years and
1
year, respectively, using the pattern
of
benefits method. The
weighted-average
amortization
period for the intangible
assets
is 18.5 years.
Worldwide Information Network Systems Inc.-On
November 15, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Worldwide
Information Network Systems, Inc.
(WINS).
The results of WENS' operations have been included in our consolidated financial
statements since
that date.
The acquisition was completed through a stock purchase
agreement
dated October 26, 2011, by and among
a
subsidiary
of ManTech
International Corporation,
WINS
and its sole shareholder.
WENS is a provider of IT solutions
with
network engineering and cyber security technical expertise to the Department of
Defense, Department of
State
and other agencies.
WINS'
largest customer is the Defense Intelligence
Agency
(DIA)
through its prime
position
on the Solutions for the Information Technologies Enterprise
(SITE)
Indefinite
Delivery/Indefinite
Quantity contract
vehicle.
At November
15, 2011,
WINS
had 199 employees
of
which
96% held security clearances.
This acquisition,
consistent
with
our long-term strategy,
wi l l
allow
us to broaden our footprint in the high-end defense and
intelligence
markets. The addition of
WINS'
IT
capabilities,
and its prime position on the
D IA
SITE
and other contracts
wi l l enhance
our positioning with important customers and further our growth prospects.
ManTech
funded
the acquisition with cash on hand. The purchase price was $90.4 million. The stock purchase
agreement
did not
contain
provisions for contingent consideration. Pursuant to the stock purchase
agreement,
$9.0
million
was placed into an escrow
account to satisfy potential
indemnification liabilities
of
WESTS.
The escrow period
wi l l
expire
18
months after the purchase closing
date.
A t
March
31,
2012, the balance
in
the escrow
account
was $9.0
million.
During
the three months ended
March
31, 2012, the Company incurred $0.1 million
o f
acquisition costs. These costs are included
in
general and administrative expense
in
our income statement.
The purchase price of $90.4 million was allocated to the underlying
assets
and liabilities based on their
fair
value at the
date
of
acquisition. Total
assets
were $100.5 million,
including goodwill
and intangible
assets
recognized in connection
with
the acquisition,
and total
liabilities
were $10.1
million.
Included in total
assets
were $18.7
million
in acquisition related intangible
assets.
We
recorded
goodwill
of $62.5
million, which
wi l l
be deductible for tax puiposes over
15
years, assuming
adequate
levels o f taxable
income.
Recognition of
goodwill
is largely attributed to the highly
skilled
employees and the value paid for companies supporting
high-end defense, intelligence and homeland security markets.
In allocating the purchase price, we consider among other factors, analyses of
historical
performance and estimates of future
performance of WENS' contracts. The components o f other intangible
assets
associated with the acquisition were customer
relationships and backlog valued at $18.0
million
and $0.7
million,
respectively. Customer contracts and related relationships
represent
the underlying relationships and
agreements
with WENS'
existing customers. Customer relationships and backlog are
amortized
over their estimated useful lives of
20
years and 1 year, respectively, using the pattern of benefits method. The weighted-
average amortization period for the intangible
assets
is 19.3 years.

Earnings
Per
Share
Under
A S C
260, Earnings
per
Share, the two-class method is an
earMngs
allocation formula that determines earnings per
share
for each class o f common stock according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earMngs.
Under that method, basic and diluted earMngs per share data are presented for each class
of
common stock.
In
applying the two-class method, we determined that undistributed earMngs should be allocated equally on a per share basis
between Class A and Class B common stock. Under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of the common stock are
entitled to participate ratably, on a share-for-share basis as
if
al l shares of common stock were of a single class, in such dividends as
may be declared by the Board of Directors. During the firs t
quarter
of 2012, we declared and paid a dividend of $0.21 per
share
on
both classes of common stock.
Basic earnings per
share
has been computed by
dividing
net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Shares issued during the period and shares reacquired during the
period are weighted for the portion
of
the period in wMch the shares were outstanding. Diluted earMngs per
share
has been computed
in
a manner consistent
with
that
of basic earMngs per
share
while
giving
effect to all potentially dilutive common
shares that
were
outstanding during each period.
The weighted average number
of
common
shares
outstanding is computed as follows (in thousands):

Revolving Credit Facility-We
maintain a credit
agreement with
a syndicate of lenders led by Bank of
America, N . A ,
as
administrative
agent.
The credit
agreement
provides for a $500.0
million revolving
credit
facility,
with
a $25.0
million
letter
of
credit
sublimit
and a $30.0 million swing line loan sublimit. The credit
agreement
also contains an accordion
feature
that permits the
Company to
arrange
with the lenders for the
provision
of
up
to $250.0 million in additional commitments. The maturity
date
for the
credit
agreement
is October 12, 2016.
Borrowings under the credit
agreement
are collateralized by substantially
a ll
the
assets of ManTech
and its
Material
Subsidiaries
(as defined
in
the credit
agreement)
and bear interest at one
of
the
following
variable
rates
as selected by the Company at the time of
borrowing:
a
London
Interbank
Offer
Rate
(LIBOR)
based
rate
plus market-rate
spreads
(1.25%
to 2.25% based on the Company's
consolidated
total leverage ratio) or Bank of
America's
base rate
plus market spreads (0.25% to 1.25% based on the Company's
consolidated total leverage ratio).
The
terms
of the credit
agreement
permit prepayment and termination o f the loan commitments at any time, subject to certain
conditions.
The credit
agreement
requires the Company to comply
with
specified
financial
covenants,
including
the maintenance of
certain leverage ratios and a certain
fixed
charge coverage ratio. The credit
agreement
also contains various covenants, including
affirmative
covenants
with
respect to certain reporting requirements and maintaining certain business activities, and negative
covenants
that,
among other things, may
limit
or impose restrictions on our
ability
to incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, make
investments, make acquisitions and undertake certain additional actions. As of
March
31, 2012, we were in compliance
with
our
financial
covenants under the credit
agreement.
We
had no outstanding balance on our credit
facility
at
March
31,
2012 and December
31, 2011.
The maximum additional
available borrowing under the credit
facility
at
March
31, 2012 was $498.9 million. As of
March
31, 2012, we were contingently
liable

Securities Act of 1933, and outside the
United
States to
non-U.S.
persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities A ct o f

A portion of the proceeds was used to pay down the balance on the revolving credit
facility
incurred to pay for the Sensor

Inc. acquisition.
Pursuant to the
terms
of a
registration rights
agreement
entered into in connection
with
the issuance
of
the 7.25% senior unsecured

The 7.25% senior unsecured
notes
mature on
Apri l
