Section 8 – Other Events

 

Item 8.01 Other Events

As previously reported in various public filings, the Company is a party to a litigation filed in the Circuit Court of Baltimore City, Maryland, Costa Brava Partnership III, L.P., et. al. v. Telos Corporation, et. al.

On January 7, 2008, the Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss all shareholder derivative claims with prejudice, Count VI (Breach of Fiduciary Duty by Directors) and Count VII (Breach of Fiduciary Duty by Officers) of the Complaint, filed by Costa Brava Partnership III, L.P. and Wynnefield Partners Small Cap Value, L.P. (“Plaintiffs”). As a result of such dismissal with prejudice, all of the individual current and former directors and officers of the Company who were named as defendants in the litigation were dismissed from the case. As previously reported, Count I (Recovery of Fraudulent Conveyance), Count II (Preliminary and Permanent Injunction) and Count V (Shareholder Oppression) of the Second Amended Complaint were dismissed on March 30, 2006. Count III (Appointment of Receiver) and Count IV (Petition for Dissolution of Corporation) are presently scheduled for trial on April 28, 2008.

Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of this litigation, the Company and its directors and officers strenuously deny Plaintiffs’ claims, and will vigorously defend the matter, and will continue to oppose the relief sought.
