ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 15 (UPI) -- CACI International Inc. has acquired Six3 Systems from private equity firm GTCR, expanding its cyber and intelligence solutions portfolio.
Six3 Systems, which supports the U.S. national security community in areas such as cyber and signals intelligence, was purchased for $820 million, subject to working capital, CACI said.
"CACI's acquisition of Six3 Systems Inc. is compelling on many levels," said Ken Asbury, CACI president and chief executive officer.

The transaction is expected to be at least 5 percent accretive to CACI's GAAP earnings per share in calendar year 2014 and at least 10 percent accretive to diluted adjusted earnings per share, CACI said.
