Item 8.01 Other Events
Alion Science and Technology Corporation (the "Company" or "Alion") disclosed the following information.
The Company has reached a preliminary understanding with the holders of a majority (the "Majority Holders") of the Company's
outstanding 10
1
⁄
4
% Senior Notes due February 1, 2015 (the "Unsecured Notes") regarding possible refinancing transactions involving the
Company's outstanding indebtedness. The Company currently expects the transactions to involve:
•
The replacement of the Company's existing revolving credit facility with a new revolving credit facility;
•
The refinancing of the Company's outstanding 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2014 (the "Senior Secured Notes") with new $350 million senior secured term loan debt and/or new senior secured notes;
•
The exchange of the Unsecured Notes for, at the Unsecured Note holders' option, either (a) new junior secured notes, with a combination of interest payable in cash and in kind, and new warrants or (b) an
amount of cash at a price to be determined below par;
•
The payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Secured Notes and the Unsecured Notes; and
•
The seeking of consents from the holders of the Unsecured Notes to eliminate substantially all of the covenants and events of default in the indenture governing the Unsecured Notes.
Although the Company has a preliminary understanding with the Majority Holders, there can be no assurance that the Company and the Majority
Holders will reach a final agreement, that the Company will enter into definitive agreements, that a sufficient amount of the other holders of the Unsecured Notes will agree to participate in such a transaction, that the Company will be successful
at obtaining a new revolving credit facility or refinancing the Senior Secured Notes or that any transaction will occur on all or any of the terms described above, and, if any transaction does occur, that the terms concluded will be favorable to the
Company's existing investors. The terms described above summarize the preliminary understanding reached by the Company and the Majority Holders, and these terms are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of any definitive
agreements to be entered into by the Company among the Majority Holders.

This Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell any securities or the solicitation of an offer
to exchange any Unsecured Notes or any other security, nor shall there be any sale or exchange of any securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale or exchange would be unlawful prior to the registration or
qualification of any such securities or offer under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction. Any exchange offer for the Unsecured Notes will be made only through a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and related materials. Any new senior secured notes to be offered in any financing transaction have not been, and may not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold absent registration or the
availability of an applicable exemption from registration.
