ATK Launch Systems Group Cleared to Immediately Resume Normal Contract Processes and Procedures

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alliant Techsystems (NYSE: ATK) has received clearance from the U.S. Air Force for its Launch Systems group to immediately resume normal contracting processes and procedures. The clearance vacates an action by the Air Force that temporarily placed the group on the Excluded Parties List (EPL). The company has been working closely with senior Air Force officials to resolve the issue. The temporary listing on the EPL had no material effect on the company's business operations and did not result in the loss of any contracts.

ATK is an advanced weapon and space systems company with annual revenues in excess of $4.1 billion that employs approximately 17,000 people in 21 states. News and information can be found on the Internet at http://www.atk.com/.
