Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On March 14, 2006, Alliant Techsystems Inc. (the Company) announced the pricing terms of its previously announced cash tender offer and related consent solicitation (the Offer) with respect to its 8-1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the Notes). In addition, the Company announced that as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 14, 2006, which was the deadline for holders to tender their notes in order to receive the consent payment in connection with the Offer, it had received tenders and consents from holders of $397.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, representing approximately 99.3% of the outstanding Notes.
The amount tendered represents a sufficient number of consents required to approve certain amendments to the indenture governing the Notes. The amendments to the indenture will eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default contained in the indenture governing the Notes. The supplemental indenture incorporating the amendments, as described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated March 1, 2006, has been executed by the Company and the indenture trustee, and the amendments to the indenture will become effective upon acceptance by the Company of the Notes tendered for purchase.
A copy of the press release announcing the same is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
