Dear Fellow GRC International Shareholder:
Please read this before you decide how to vote.
There are only a few days left to re-elect Gary L. Denman and Joseph R. Wright,
Jr. to GRC's Board of Directors. We firmly believe that, under their leadership,
GRC has successfully turned the corner and is on the right path for sustained,
continued growth, profitability, and increased shareholder value.
In 1997, the year that Joe became Chairman, GRC's revenue was $117 million and
net "income" was a $17 million loss. Revenue for the year just ended was $164
million and net income was $9 million. In short, Joe and Gary fully turned this
company around. In a true team effort, Joe and Gary played key roles, along with
the new management team Gary recruited, and the high quality staff that has been
GRC's traditional hallmark.
Under Joe's and Gary's leadership, GRC focused on a growth and profit strategy
to significantly increase shareholder value - the results show it's working!
o GRC has been profitable every quarter since Joe's election as Chairman in
March 1997.
o GRC produced its best performance of the decade in fiscal 1999, Gary's
first year as CEO.
o GRC has produced double digit year-to-year revenue growth for the past
seven quarters.
o Debt-to-total capital improved from 68% at June 30, 1997 to 22% at
September 30, 1999.
o Since the beginning of fiscal 1998, pre-tax profits have grown 145%.
The Compensation Argument. Joe Wright's and Gary Denman's compensation are under
attack by Mr. Frank Cilluffo, who has nominated an alternative slate of Board
members. A major part of Joe's and Gary's compensation plans consists of
incentives tied directly to GRC's performance. The plans were put in place as a
mechanism to attract recognized leaders such as Joe and Gary who were deemed
necessary to bring about the turnaround of the company so urgently needed. We
find it incredible that Mr. Cilluffo is now attacking these compensation plans,
which were approved by Cilluffo Associates' representatives on GRC's Board.
The compensation plan worked. Joe and Gary are doing an excellent job; GRC's
performance has been outstanding. Under Joe and Gary, GRC is fully upholding its
commitment to shareholders.
Mr. Cilluffo's attack on Joe Wright regarding the performance of a start-up
company totally unrelated to GRC is telling. Joe has been doing a great job at
GRC, so there is no valid criticism for Mr. Cilluffo to level at him related to
GRC.
Cilluffo's Plan? The Cilluffo Associates Proxy includes the following statement:
"Cilluffo Associates does not have a specific current plan or proposal to
enhance the return on sales and operating margins and otherwise to enhance
stockholder value."
The statement speaks volumes. It is consistent with Mr. Cilluffo's comments and
recommendations at Board meetings. It is also consistent with his response to
repeated attempts to encourage him to express his point of view or resolve the
issues that apparently have led him to his current position. GRC has repeatedly
attempted to resolve any issues Mr. Cilluffo has, but has been rebuffed every
time. Now Mr. Cilluffo has forced a costly proxy battle on shareholders.
Vote for Joe and Gary. The GRC Management Team is increasing shareholder value.
The price of GRC stock has doubled since Joe Wright became Chairman. The
strategy put in place by Joe Wright and Gary Denman is succeeding. We urge you
to vote for Joe and Gary. There is no legitimate reason to change now.
Sincerely,
The Board of Directors
GRC International, Inc.
