ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To Be Held July 12, 2002


PROXY STATEMENT


       This Proxy Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of Science Applications International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by its Board of Directors for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held in the Grand Ballroom of the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines Hotel, 10950 North Torrey Pines Road, San Diego, California, on Friday, July 12, 2002, at 10:00 A.M. (local time), and at any and all adjournments, postponements or continuations thereof. At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders of the Company are being asked to consider and vote upon:

        1.     The election of five Class III Directors, each for a term of three years; and
 
        2.     Such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournments, postponements or continuations thereof.

      This Proxy Statement and the enclosed form of proxy are first being mailed to the stockholders of the Company on or about June 7, 2002.

VOTING RIGHTS AND SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

Shares Eligible to Vote

      Only stockholders of record of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Class A common stock”), and/or Class B common stock, par value $.05 per share (the “Class B common stock”), as of the close of business on May 15, 2002 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, the Company had 198,149,199 shares of Class A common stock and 263,892 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. The Company has no other class of capital stock outstanding. The Class A common stock and the Class B common stock are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Stock.”

Quorum Requirements

      The presence, either in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the total voting power of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date is necessary to constitute a quorum and to conduct business at the Annual Meeting. Although abstentions may be specified on all proposals (other than the election of Directors), abstentions will only be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will not be voted.


Table of Contents

Votes

      Each holder of Class A common stock will be entitled to one vote per share and each holder of Class B common stock will be entitled to 20 votes per share, in person or by proxy, for each share of Common Stock held in such stockholder’s name as of the Record Date on any matter submitted to a vote of stockholders at the Annual Meeting. However, in the election of Directors, all shares are entitled to be voted cumulatively. Accordingly, in voting for Directors: (i) each share of Class A common stock is entitled to as many votes as there are Directors to be elected, (ii) each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 20 times as many votes as there are Directors to be elected and (iii) each stockholder may cast all of such votes for a single nominee or distribute them among any two or more nominees as such stockholder chooses. Unless otherwise directed, shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted at the discretion of the proxy holders so as to elect the maximum number of the Board of Directors’ nominees that may be elected by cumulative voting.

Voting of Shares Held by the Retirement Plans and Stock Plans

      On the Record Date, Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (the “Trustee”), as trustee of the Employee Stock Retirement Plan (“ESRP”), Cash or Deferred Arrangement (“CODA”) and Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (“Profit Sharing Plan”) of the Company, the Telcordia Technologies 401(k) Savings Plan of Telcordia Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Telcordia Plan”), and the AMSEC Employees 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan of AMSEC LLC, a joint venture in which the Company owns 55% (the “AMSEC Plan”) (collectively, the “Retirement Plans”), held 85,052,409 shares of Class A common stock and 23,148 shares of Class B common stock. Each participant in the Retirement Plans has the right to instruct the Trustee on a confidential basis how to vote his or her proportionate interests in all allocated shares of Common Stock held in the Retirement Plans. The Trustee will vote all allocated shares held in the Retirement Plans as to which no voting instructions are received, together with all unallocated shares held in the Retirement Plans, in the same proportion, on a plan-by-plan basis, as the allocated shares for which voting instructions have been received. The Trustee’s duties with respect to voting the Common Stock in the Retirement Plans are governed by the fiduciary provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The fiduciary provisions of ERISA may require, in certain limited circumstances, that the Trustee override the votes of participants with respect to the Common Stock held by the Trustee and to determine, in the Trustee’s best judgment, how to vote the shares.

      On the Record Date, Wachovia Bank, N.A. (“Wachovia”), as trustee of the Company’s Stock Compensation Plan, Management Stock Compensation Plan and Key Executive Stock Deferral Plan (collectively, the “Stock Plans”), held 4,978,131 shares of Class A common stock. Under the terms of the Stock Plans, Wachovia has the power to vote the shares of Class A common stock held by Wachovia in the Stock Plans. Wachovia will vote all such shares of Class A common stock in the same proportion that the other stockholders of the Company vote their shares of Common Stock.

Voting by Proxy

      Shares of Common Stock represented by properly executed proxies received in time for voting at the Annual Meeting will, unless such proxies have previously been revoked, be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated thereon. In the absence of specific instructions, the shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted FOR the election of Directors so as to elect the maximum number of the Board of Directors’ nominees that may be elected by cumulative voting. No business other than that set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting is expected to come before the Annual Meeting; however, should any other matter requiring a vote of stockholders properly come before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the proxy holders to vote such shares in accordance with their best judgment on such matter. For information with respect to advance notice requirements applicable to stockholders who wish to propose any matter for consideration at the next Annual Meeting, see “Stockholder Proposals for the 2003 Annual Meeting.”

Table of Contents

      Execution of the enclosed proxy will not prevent a stockholder from attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the exercise thereof by delivering in a timely manner a written revocation or a new proxy bearing a later date to the Secretary of the Company, 10260 Campus Point Drive, San Diego, California 92121, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, however, in and of itself constitute a revocation of a proxy.

Proxy Solicitation

      This solicitation of proxies is made by the Company and the cost thereof will be borne by the Company, including the charges and expenses of persons holding shares in their name as nominee for forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of such shares. In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited by officers, Directors and employees of the Company in person, by telephone or by email. Such individuals will not be additionally compensated for such solicitation but may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such solicitation.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

      The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for a “classified” Board of Directors consisting of three classes which shall be as equal in number as possible. The number of authorized Directors is currently fixed at 18 Directors. Following the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors intends to reduce the size of the Board to 17 Directors, with six Directors in Class I and II and five Directors in Class III.

      At the Annual Meeting, five Class III Directors are to be elected to serve three-year terms ending in 2005 or until their successors are elected and qualified or their earlier retirement, death, resignation or removal or disqualification from service as a Director pursuant to any current or future provision of the Bylaws. Currently, A.K. Jones, S.D. Rockwood, R.C. Smith, Jr. and J.P. Walkush serve as Class III Directors. All such Class III Directors, with the exception of R.C. Smith, Jr., will be standing for reelection. In addition, D.H. Foley and R. Snyderman have been nominated for election as Class III Directors. The five nominees who receive the most votes will be elected as Class III Directors. It is intended that, unless otherwise indicated, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote FOR the election of Directors so as to elect the maximum number of the Board of Directors’ nominees that may be elected by cumulative voting. To the best knowledge of the Board of Directors, all of the nominees are, and will be, able and willing to serve. In the event that any of the five nominees listed below should become unable to stand for election at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders intend to vote for such other person, if any, as may be designated by the Board of Directors, in the place and stead of any nominee unable to serve. Alternatively, the Board of Directors may elect, pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Company’s Bylaws, to fix the authorized number of Directors at a lower number so as to give the Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors additional time to evaluate candidates.

      Set forth below is a brief biography of each nominee for election as a Class III Director and of all other members of the Board of Directors who will continue in office:

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

      Since its inception, the Company has been an employee-owned corporation based upon the philosophy that “those who contribute to the Company should own it, and ownership should be commensurate with that contribution and performance as much as feasible.” The Company’s compensation policies, plans and programs seek to implement this employee ownership philosophy by closely aligning the financial interest of the Company’s employees, including executive officers, with the financial interest of its stockholders.

      As members of the Compensation Committee, it is our responsibility to approve the salaries paid to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and all executive officers named pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which includes the four other most highly paid executive officers of the Company (“Executive Officers”), and to recommend to the Bonus Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors the amount of grants to be made to the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Officers under the Company’s Bonus Compensation Plan. These determinations are made in light of individual, corporate and business unit performance, the performance of our competitors and other similar businesses and relevant market compensation data. To assist the Compensation Committee in carrying out these responsibilities, Towers Perrin, an internationally recognized executive compensation consulting firm, was retained by the Compensation Committee to review the compensation paid to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the four other highest paid executive officers of the Company during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 and to provide a competitive assessment of the various components of such compensation.

      The compensation policy of the Company, which is endorsed by the Compensation Committee, is that a substantial portion of the total compensation of executive officers be related to and contingent upon their individual contribution and performance, the performance of business units under their management and the performance of the Company as a whole. In this way, the Company seeks to encourage continuing focus on increasing the Company’s revenue, profitability and stockholder value, while at the same time motivating its executive officers to perform to the fullest extent of their abilities.

      The Company has continued to set the annual base salaries of its executive officers at or below competitive levels and continues to cause a significant portion of an executive officer’s compensation to consist of annual and longer-term incentive compensation which are variable and closely tied to corporate, business unit and individual performance. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002, the executive officers’ incentive

11


Table of Contents

compensation was an average of approximately 58% of the executive officers’ total compensation (salary and bonus). As a result, much of an executive officer’s total compensation was “at risk” and dependent on performance during the prior fiscal year.

      An executive officer’s incentive compensation may consist of cash, fully vested stock, vesting stock, options, stock units or a combination of these components. Generally, an annual bonus is given after the end of the fiscal year based on individual, corporate and business unit performance for such fiscal year and an executive officer’s respective responsibilities, strategic and operational goals and levels of historic and anticipated performance. By awarding bonuses of vesting stock and vesting stock options, the Company seeks to encourage individuals to remain with the Company and continue to focus on the long-term technical and financial performance of the Company and on increasing stockholder value. Further, the exercise price of all stock options granted is equal to the Formula Price of the Class A common stock on the date of grant. Therefore, such options only have value to the extent that the Formula Price of the Company’s Class A common stock increases during the term of the stock option. The Company’s general philosophy is to encourage employees to have significant stockholdings in the Company so that they have sufficient economic incentive to maximize the Company’s long-term performance and stock value.

      In evaluating the performance and establishing the incentive compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s other executive officers, the Compensation Committee recognized that the Company continued to increase its revenue and profitability during the past fiscal year. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002 (“Fiscal Year 2002”), the Company’s revenues increased to $6.1 billion, a 3% increase from the revenues for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2001 (“Fiscal Year 2001”) of $5.9 billion. The Company’s net non-operating income for Fiscal Year 2002 was $18.9 million, compared to net income of $2.1 billion in Fiscal Year 2001. The Company’s net income for both Fiscal Years 2002 and 2001 included pre-tax operating net gains from sales of business units and pre-tax net losses and gains on transactions involving the Company’s marketable securities and other investments. Excluding these items, the Compensation Committee noted the Company’s operating income increased by 11.2% and its net income increased by 1% in Fiscal Year 2002 from Fiscal Year 2001.

      Finally, although the performance of the equity markets during the past year was flat to negative, the performance of the Company’s Class A common stock continued to increase and exceeded the performance of both the broad market index of Standard and Poor’s Composite 500 Stock Index and the Company’s peer group index of the Goldman Sachs Technology Services Index. The Company’s Class A common stock realized an annual return of 6.9% for the one-year period ended January 31, 2002, significantly exceeding the annual return of both the Standard and Poor’s Composite 500 Stock Index and the Goldman Sachs Technology Services Index of -16.1% and 0.2%, respectively, during the same period. The Compensation Committee also noted that over the past five and ten years, the Class A common stock realized annualized returns of 38.4% and 28.0%, respectively.

      During the past fiscal year, Dr. Beyster was paid a base salary of $900,0001, which represented a 9% increase over his base salary for the prior year. Despite this salary increase, Towers Perrin has concluded that Dr. Beyster’s base salary is at approximately the 50th percentile in its compensation survey data base for chief executive officers for general industry, high technology, aerospace/defense and communications companies.

      Dr. Beyster was paid a cash bonus of $1,000,000 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. Considering the Company’s successful performance during the past fiscal year, the fact that the Company’s Class A common stock outperformed both the broad market index and the Company’s peer group index and the continued diversification of the Company’s business base, the Compensation Committee believes that Dr. Beyster’s cash bonus was well warranted.

      Towers Perrin has also advised the Compensation Committee that Dr. Beyster’s total compensation (base salary and bonus) paid for the last fiscal year fell below the 25th percentile in its compensation survey data


      1The variance between this amount and Dr. Beyster’s base salary reported in the Summary Compensation Table is attributable to payment for his unused comprehensive leave.

base of chief executive officers for general industry, high technology, aerospace/defense and communications companies. The Compensation Committee would like to emphasize that Dr. Beyster’s below market compensation level is not a reflection of the Compensation Committee’s opinion of Dr. Beyster’s ability or his relative value. It is, however, a reflection of Dr. Beyster’s personal reluctance to accept compensation anywhere near the median compensation levels provided to the chief executive officers of the comparable companies surveyed by Towers Perrin.

      Towers Perrin has reviewed the compensation for each of the other four highest paid executive officers of the Company during its last fiscal year and has reported to the Compensation Committee that, based on industry survey data collected by Towers Perrin, the compensation of these executive officers was within an acceptable range of competitive market levels for individuals with comparable duties and responsibilities.

      Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, generally limits the deductibility of certain compensation in excess of $1 million paid in any one year to the chief executive officer and the other four highest paid executive officers. In order to maintain maximum tax deductibility of executive compensation, the Company obtained stockholder approval of the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan and the amendment and restatement of the 1984 Bonus Compensation Plan. The Compensation Committee will continue to monitor compensation programs in light of Section 162(m); however, the Compensation Committee considers it important to retain the flexibility to design compensation programs that are in the best long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders.

      The Compensation Committee believes that the compensation policies, plans and programs the Company has implemented, and which the Compensation Committee endorses, have encouraged management’s focus on the long-term financial performance of the Company and have contributed to achieving the Company’s technical and financial success.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

      Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) thereunder require the Company’s Directors and executive officers to file reports of their ownership and changes in ownership of Class A common stock with the Commission. Personnel of the Company generally prepare and file these reports on the basis of information obtained from each Director and officer and pursuant to a Power of Attorney. Based on such information, the Company believes that all reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act to be filed by its Directors and executive officers during the last fiscal year were filed on time, except that two reports covering three transactions for Dr. Glancy were filed late as a result of an administrative error by the Company.
