Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 12, 2012, Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation (the "Company") and stockholders affiliated with The Carlyle Group (the "Carlyle Stockholders") who are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated as of November 8, 2010 (the "Stockholders Agreement"), entered into and effected an amendment to the Stockholders Agreement (the "Amendment").

The Amendment revises Section 1.01(a) of the Stockholders Agreement by increasing the maximum size of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company from nine to twelve and makes certain revisions to the number of directors that may be designated for nomination by the Carlyle Stockholders and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, respectively.

In addition to the increase of the maximum size of the Board from nine to twelve, the amended provisions of Section 1.01(a) generally provide that three directors, who may be full-time employees of the Carlyle Stockholders, or their affiliates, shall be designated for nomination by the Carlyle Stockholders; provided, however, that the Carlyle Stockholders may, in their sole discretion, (i) choose on any occasion to designate fewer than three directors for nomination or (ii) relinquish the right to designate for nomination one or more directors. In addition, two directors, who shall be full-time employees of Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., shall be designated for nomination for election by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company; provided, however, that at any time when the Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall not have been a full-time employee of Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. for at least five years, such two directors shall instead be designated for nomination by the executive stockholders party to the Stockholders Agreement (the "Executive Stockholders") holding a majority of the voting shares held by all Executive Stockholders, and provided, further, that (1) the number of directors that may be designated for nomination pursuant to this provision on any occasion may be reduced by certain senior executives designated by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the "Leadership Team") with the approval of the Executive Stockholders holding a majority of the voting shares held by all Executive Stockholders and (2) the Leadership Team with the approval of the Executive Stockholders holding a majority of the voting shares held by all the Executive Stockholders may cause to be relinquished the right to designate for nomination one or more directors under this provision.

The foregoing summary of the terms of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On June 12, 2012, the Board increased the size of the Board from nine to ten members and appointed Joan Lordi C.
