Rhea-AI Filing Summary

CACI International Inc completed its previously announced all-cash acquisition of ARKA Group L.P. for $2.6 billion. ARKA contributes electro-optical/infrared and hyperspectral imaging capabilities plus Agentic AI-based software that strengthen CACI’s geospatial intelligence portfolio for critical national security missions.

To support the transaction, CACI entered Amendment No. 1 to its Term Loan B Credit Agreement, adding an $800 million Incremental Term B-2 Loan tranche maturing on March 9, 2033. These floating-rate, asset-backed loans, together with revolving credit facility borrowings and cash on hand, funded the purchase price and related fees and expenses.

Positive

Negative

  • None.

Insights

CACI uses new debt to fund a major strategic space and AI acquisition.

CACI International is buying ARKA Group for $2.6 billion, immediately expanding its presence in national security space programs. ARKA’s EO/IR and hyperspectral sensors and Agentic AI-based software deepen CACI’s geospatial intelligence offerings across multiple military and intelligence customers.

Financing includes an $800 million Incremental Term B-2 Loan maturing in 2033, secured by substantially all domestic assets and sharing customary negative covenants with existing Term Loan B debt. This adds leverage but preserves a consistent covenant framework and aligns with CACI’s strategy to grow software-defined, multi-domain intelligence capabilities.

CACI Completes Acquisition of ARKA Group

Company adds space-based sensors and agentic AI-based software to deliver robust geospatial intelligence

CACI is best positioned as the leading provider of multi-source intelligence to rapidly address evolving national security missions

Reston, Va. -- March 09, 2026 -- CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI) announced today that it has completed its acquisition of ARKA Group L.P. (ARKA) in an all-cash transaction for $2.6 billion. ARKA provides industry-leading electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) and hyperspectral imaging capabilities, and Agentic AI-based software, that deliver robust geospatial intelligence for critical national security missions. With ARKA’s decades-long track record of superior performance, CACI immediately expands its portfolio of national security space programs and strengthens its market position.

“Today, more than 1,100 ARKA employees join us as we continue to expand to the limits of national security,” said John Mengucci, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer. “ARKA purposefully accelerates our space market strategy while adding technologies that strengthen and expand our position in this rapidly growing domain, which is traditionally defined by high technical barriers to entry.”

Consistent with CACI’s merger and acquisition strategy, ARKA enables CACI to deliver a wider range of software-defined technologies and capabilities to rapidly address evolving national security missions. ARKA’s space-based sensors expand CACI’s existing portfolio of sensors across the land, sea, and air domains and ARKA’s geospatial intelligence complements CACI’s strong position providing signals intelligence. Combined with ARKA’s operationally proven Agentic AI-based software, CACI is better positioned to rapidly deliver multi-source intelligence to a broader range of national security customers.

“As the threat environment grows more complex, this acquisition advances our long-term vision to deliver integrated, mission-critical space and ground capabilities that strengthen national security and support the evolving priorities of the Intelligence Community, the U.S. Space Force, and the Department of War,” continued Mengucci.

CACI acquired ARKA from funds managed by Blackstone Tactical Opportunities (Blackstone). Wells Fargo served as CACI's exclusive financial advisor and provided committed financing for the transaction. Gibson Dunn acted as legal advisor for CACI. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Evercore acted as financial advisors for ARKA. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP acted as legal advisor for ARKA.
