The deal is expected to close by the fiscal quarter ending Feb. 1, 2019, according to the announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SAIC has a market valuation of $3.8 billion and will be the second-largest government services contractor, behind Leidos. It will comprise more than 23,000 employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe highly complementary portfolios, combined with our similar cultures, operating models and histories, make this transaction a compelling combination that enhances the value proposition for our customers, employees and shareholders,\u201d SAIC CEO Tony Moraco said in a released statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The merger is just the latest of several in the market, including the April $9.7 billion deal buyout by General Dynamics Information Technology of CSRA Inc, itself a combination of former competitors Computer Sciences Corporation\u2019s North American public sector business and SRA International. Last year, CSC merged another sector of its business with Hewlett Packard\u2019s Enterprise Services arm (formerly EDS) to form DXC Technologies. In June DXC spun off its U.S. public sector services and merged that with Vencore Holdings and KeyPoint Government Solutions to create Perspecta Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Engility in 2014 acquired Chantilly-based, privately held defense contractor TASC in a deal worth just over $1 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Engility shareholders will receive $40.44 in SAIC stock for each of their shares, an 11.5 percent premium to Engility\u2019s closing price of $36.24 on Sept. 7, according to the announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reuters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-engility-hldg-m-a-sale-exclusive\/exclusive-u-s-government-contractor-engility-explores-sale-sources-idUSKBN1K136O\">reported<\/a> in July that Engility
