Item 5. Other Events.
Admiral Paul David Miller, chairman and chief executive officer of ATK (Alliant Techsystems Inc.) has established a plan to trade specific amounts of ATK stock in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in order to diversify to properly prepare for retirement on 1 January 2004. Under the plan, Admiral Miller will exercise approximately 200,000 stock options and sell the underlying shares. The shares will be sold with a predetermined price threshold. Sales under the plan will be effected in a systematic manner with a goal of minimal market impact.
Admiral Miller also intends to transfer to other investment arrangements shares of phantom stock in the Company’s Management Deferred Compensation Plan and share units in the 401(k) Plan aggregating approximately 10,500 shares.
Following this diversification, Admiral Miller will continue to hold approximately 460,000 stock options, 53,000 unrestricted shares and 22,500 shares still subject to restrictions under the Company’s 1990 Equity Incentive Plan.
