Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Senior Management Compensation

Effective March 8, 2005, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of ManTech International Corporation, Inc. (the “Company”) approved 2004 bonus payments to the presidents of the Company’s principal operating subsidiaries and divisions. These subsidiary and division presidents are executive officers of the Company. The bonus payments were made pursuant to certain 2004 Incentive Compensation Plans for each of the Company’s executive officers that were approved by the Committee last year (collectively, the “2004 Plans”). The amounts of the 2004 bonus payments have been determined based upon the achievement of certain performance goals contained in the 2004 Plans. The performance goals generally include the Company’s financial performance for 2004 (as measured by earnings and revenue); the 2004 financial performance of the individual business units for which the subsidiary and division president is responsible (as measured by earnings and revenue), if applicable; and certain other individual goals that vary depending on the particular executive officer. The amount of the 2004 bonus payments for Mr. Joseph R. Fox, Mr. Eugene C. Renzi and Mr. Kurt J. Snapper, subsidiary and division presidents who are also named executive officers of the Company, were $314,723, $615,091 and $88,646, respectively.

The Committee also determined that George J. Pedersen, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Robert A. Coleman, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, and Ronald R. Spoehel, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, were entitled to bonus payments under their respective 2004 Plans. However, Messrs. Pedersen, Coleman and Spoehel informed the Committee that, due to the senior management team’s desire to align a portion of their compensation with the interests of the Company’s stockholders, they wished to forgo their 2004 bonus payments, and they requested that the Company make no bonus payments to them relating to 2004 performance, in light of the performance of the Company’s MSM subsidiary during 2004 and the resulting impact of such performance on the Company’s stockholders during 2004. The Committee agreed to this request and determined that, although earned pursuant to the terms of their respective 2004 Plans, no bonuses would in fact be paid to Messrs. Pedersen, Coleman or Spoehel for 2004 performance.
