| Amending our certificate of incorporation to eliminate the distinction between the various series of class A preferred stock |
| Approving the material terms of and amendments to our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan |

Watch for Delivery of Your Proxy Statement
All stockholders as of the April 10, 2007, record date will receive proxy materials via email or mail. Active employee stockholders will receive a link to the proxy materials via an email sent to their company registered email address. This email will be titled SAIC Annual Meeting of Stockholders: Access ProxyVote.com and Vote Your Shares. Please do not delete this email as it will contain a link to the proxy materials and the online voting site. All other stockholders will receive the proxy materials through the mail. Your proxy and voting instruction card will be included in these materials.
If you made a prior enrollment for electronic delivery or opted out of electronic delivery as a stockholder of Science Applications International Corporation prior to our reorganization, this election is no longer effective. SAIC, Inc. is a different issuer than Science Applications International Corporation; therefore, stockholders of SAIC, Inc. will need to make new elections for electronic delivery. We have automatically enrolled all active employee stockholders in electronic delivery. However, you may cancel or change this enrollment at any time at https://enroll1.icsdelivery.com/sai/ChangeCancel.aspx?FormId=313. Any cancellation or changes to your electronic enrollment will not be effective for this proxy distribution.
Your Vote Is Important!
It is important that all stockholders cast their vote for the following reasons.
1. | Your vote registers your opinion on the matters before the stockholders at the annual meeting. |
2. | Your vote helps ensure that we have sufficient shares represented in person or by proxy to establish a quorum for the meeting. |
3. | The proposal regarding the annual election of directors must receive at least a two-thirds affirmative vote in order to be implemented. Our Board of Directors is recommending this change to our board structure to better align us with a growing trend in corporate governance which is intended to increase stockholder influence. We have historically had a classified board, that is, directors are each assigned to one of three classes of directors elected for staggered three-year terms. If the proposal for the annual election of directors is approved by stockholders, the separate board classes will be eliminated and all directors will be elected annually for one-year terms beginning with the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. However, in order to implement this proposal, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of common stock and preferred stock, voting together as a class, is required. |

We encourage all stockholders to review the proxy materials and cast their vote on all proposals and nominees presented by the Board. We look forward to receiving your vote and your participation in the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 8, 2007.
If you have any questions, please contact SAIC Investor & Employee Owner Relations 1-800-303-5471, 8 AM 5 PM PT, Monday Friday.
