\"CACI<\/p>\n

CACI International<\/strong> announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire ARKA Group<\/strong> (ARKA) from funds managed by Blackstone Tactical Opportunities (Blackstone) in an all-cash transaction for $2.6 billion.

\u201cThe acquisition of ARKA represents a significant step forward in our space strategy,\u201d said John Mengucci<\/strong>, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer<\/strong>. \u201cThey bring deep experience and proven performance as a best-in-class provider of national security space and defence capabilities, which has been enhanced by Blackstone\u2019s constructive stewardship of the business during their ownership. With a shared heritage spanning more than sixty years, CACI and ARKA address complex mission requirements and deliver future-ready solutions at the speed and scale required to expand the limits of national security.\u201d<\/p>\n
