Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for events dated June 19, 2026, that it has agreed to acquire a defense-technology business for $720 million. Under Item 1.01, Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement, the filing states that Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the holding company, entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Ultra Electronics Advanced Tactical Systems, Inc., a Texas corporation. The counterparties named in the agreement are Ultra I&C Holdings Limited as seller and Ultra Electronics Holdings Limited as seller parent, both incorporated in England and Wales.

The 8-K states the purchase price is $720 million, subject to certain adjustments, and that the transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of Booz Allen's fiscal year 2027. The filing reports that the company believes the combination of its liquidity position and financing options provides sufficient funds to complete the transaction, language indicating the deal is contemplated without a stated reliance on a new financing commitment disclosed in the report. The current report carries both Item 1.01 and Item 7.01, Regulation FD Disclosure, the latter attaching the company's press release announcing the agreement as an exhibit.

On the conditions to closing, the filing states the consummation of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. Those include the absence of any order or law preventing the stock purchase, the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and other customary conditions such as the accuracy of representations and warranties and compliance with covenants. The Hart-Scott-Rodino reference is the standard U.S. premerger antitrust review step; its inclusion means the parties have disclosed an antitrust waiting period as a gating item, though the filing does not characterize the likelihood or timing of clearance. The report also describes a covenant to use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct the target's operations in the ordinary course between signing and closing, and a no-solicitation covenant binding the seller, seller parent, and target.

What the press release describes

The press release furnished under Item 7.01 identifies the acquired operation as Ultra's Mission Solutions business and describes it as a defense-technology business specializing in mission-critical software, encryption, and edge-compute products. According to the release, the seller is the Cobham Ultra Group, an Advent portfolio company. The release lists named product lines on both sides of the combination: Booz Allen's stated portfolio includes battle-management, communications, and edge-infrastructure offerings, while the acquired business's core offerings are described as command-and-control, edge-compute, secure data-movement, and encryption products organized in a modular architecture for contested or disconnected environments. Statements characterizing the strategic rationale in the release are attributed to named executives rather than presented as the company's audited results.

The release states that Booz Allen expects revenue from the acquisition to grow at a strong double-digit rate for the next several years with EBITDA margins well above 20%. That projection is a forward-looking statement made by the company in a press release furnished, not filed, under Item 7.01, and it is not an audited financial figure; under the SEC's framework, material furnished under Item 7.01 is generally treated as disclosed rather than incorporated into the company's periodic reports unless the company specifies otherwise. The release reiterates the $720 million figure and the expected closing in the second quarter of Booz Allen's fiscal year 2027, which it identifies as ending September 30, 2026, and states that following closing the acquired business will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Booz Allen.

The release also names the advisers retained for the transaction. It states that Booz Allen retained Jefferies LLC as exclusive financial adviser, PwC as accounting and tax adviser, King & Spalding LLP as legal adviser, and Renaissance Strategic Advisors as strategic industry adviser, and that the seller and Advent retained Baird as exclusive financial adviser, KPMG as accounting and tax adviser, and Latham & Watkins LLP as legal adviser. Adviser rosters of this kind are routine disclosures in deal announcements and do not by themselves convey terms beyond confirming the parties engaged outside transaction support.

How to read the filing

For a reader parsing the 8-K rather than the announcement narrative around it, several facts are stated directly in the report. The agreement is a stock purchase, meaning Booz Allen's subsidiary is acquiring equity interests in the target entity rather than a defined set of assets. The price is $720 million, subject to adjustments the filing references but does not enumerate in the body. The signing date is June 19, 2026, and the expected closing is the second quarter of Booz Allen's fiscal 2027. The deal is conditioned on customary closing conditions, including an antitrust waiting period under Hart-Scott-Rodino, and the company has stated it believes its liquidity and financing options are sufficient to fund the purchase.

Several items remain outside what the current report quantifies. The filing does not disclose the target's standalone revenue or earnings, the specific purchase-price adjustment mechanics, or a termination fee in the passages summarized here; the full stock purchase agreement was filed as an exhibit to the 8-K for readers seeking those terms. The transaction has been agreed but not closed, and the filing's own language conditions consummation on regulatory clearance and the satisfaction of the other stated conditions. What the disclosure establishes is the existence, structure, price, and expected timing of the agreement, with the forward-looking revenue and margin commentary attributable to the company's furnished press release rather than to any reported financial statement.
