Our commitment of returning capital to shareholders remains steadfast."
The Company also announced a change in senior leadership to be effective April 6, 2014 when Stu Shea will depart his position as President and Chief Operating Officer of Leidos. This was a mutual decision reached by Mr. Shea, Mr. Jumper and the Leidos Board of Directors.
