Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 5, 2018, MAXIMUS Federal Services, Inc. (“MAXIMUS Federal”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MAXIMUS, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) to acquire the citizen engagement centers business (the “Business”) of General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. (the “Seller”), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Company is a guarantor of the obligations of MAXIMUS Federal under the Purchase Agreement. Upon consummation of the acquisition under the Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition”), the Business will be integrated with MAXIMUS Federal’s existing program management business. The Acquisition is anticipated to close in the Company’s first fiscal quarter.

The acquired Business primarily operates citizen engagement centers including: Contact Center Operations for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) which supports CMS in efficiently handling customer inquiries across multiple communications channels from Medicare beneficiaries and Federal Exchange consumers, their families and caregivers, and other individuals or entities that support the agency; and Census Questionnaire Assistance 2020 for the U.S. Census Bureau, which provides operations support and delivers multi-channel, multi-lingual citizen engagement centers for the 2020 Decennial Census.

At the closing of the Acquisition, the Company will pay to the Seller, in consideration for the Business, a cash purchase price of $400 million. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the closing date working capital of the Business and other balance sheet items. The Company will fund the purchase price and the costs and expenses of the Acquisition through cash on hand and funds available for borrowing under its existing credit facility.

Neither the Purchase Agreement nor the completion of the Acquisition is subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders. The completion of the Acquisition is subject to customary conditions, including among others, (i) the representations and warranties made by the parties in the Purchase Agreement being true and correct except, generally, where such failure to be true and correct would not have or would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Business or the Company's ability to consummate the Acquisition or to discharge its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the parties’ compliance, in all material respects, with their respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement, (iii) the expiration or termination of any waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, (iv) the absence of an order or charge of a governmental authority enjoining or prohibiting the Acquisition and (v) the absence of a material adverse effect on the Business.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties. During the period between the date of the Purchase Agreement and the closing of the Acquisition, the Purchase Agreement provides that, among other undertakings, the Seller will conduct the Business in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice.

The Purchase Agreement contains termination rights for both MAXIMUS Federal and the Seller, including that either party may terminate the Agreement if the Acquisition has not closed by February 28, 2019.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this report and incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01. The representations and warranties of the parties in the Purchase Agreement have been made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the Purchase Agreement, and are not intended to be, and should not be, relied upon by shareholders of the Company; should not be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating risk between the parties; in some cases have been qualified by disclosures that were made to the other parties in connection with the negotiation of the Purchase Agreement, which disclosures are not reflected in the Purchase Agreement; may apply standards of materiality in a way that may differ from standards of materiality applied by investors; and were made only as of the date of the Purchase Agreement or as of such

other date or dates as may be specified in the Purchase Agreement, and are subject to developments occurring after those dates.
