entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire SenSage, Inc. (&ldquo;<U>SenSage</U>&rdquo;).&nbsp;&nbsp;SenSage is a privately

and government customers.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On October 12, 2012, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
KEYW merged with and into SenSage, with SenSage surviving as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of KEYW. The equity holders of
SenSage received $15.0 million in cash and 713,151 shares of KEYW common stock. The equity holders of SenSage may receive up to
$3.0 million of additional cash consideration and up to 594,295 additional shares of KEYW common stock, contingent upon SenSage
meeting certain revenue targets for the second half of 2012. The purchase price is subject to post-closing adjustments, including
working capital and other adjustments, as of the closing date. Each of the parties to the agreement has made customary representations
and warranties and agreed to certain indemnification obligations.</P>
