SAIC said Tuesday the waiting period ended Monday, Oct. 22, with respect to the transaction, which is still subject to other customary closing conditions.
SAIC agreed to buy Engility in September through an all-stock transaction valued at $2.5B in a move to expand its presence in space and intelligence sectors.
The Reston, Va.-based information technology services contractor will assume Engilitys $900M debt under the deal and expects the transaction to conclude by Feb. 1, 2019.
