CACI International proposed buying rival defense technology firm CSRA for $44 per share in cash and stock, or some $7.2 billion in total, the company said on March 18.

CACI is offering CSRA shareholders $15 per share in cash and roughly $29 per share in stock, or an exchange ratio of 0.184 CACI share for every CSRA share.

The offer is around 8 percent higher than the all-cash offer of $6.8 billion from defense firm General Dynamics that CSRA agreed to last month.

CACI said it could cut $165 million of costs a year if its offer succeeds.
