On January 26, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of GTSI Corp. (the “Company” or “GTSI”) appointed Sterling Phillips, GTSI’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and President, to serve as a director on the Board for the remainder of the one year term of Scott W. Friedlander, who voluntarily resigned from GTSI on October 26, 2010 leaving a vacancy on the Board. Mr. Friedlander had been elected by the stockholders at the annual meeting on April 21, 2010, as a Class 2 Director, to serve on the Board for a term of one year or until his successor is duly elected and qualified, subject to his earlier resignation or removal. Mr. Phillips was not named, nor expected to be named, to any committees of the Board as of the date of this disclosure.

Mr. Phillips accepted his appointment as CEO and President by the Board on November 23, 2010, and took such offices on December 1, 2010, filling a position left open since the resignation of Mr. Friedlander. Prior to assuming his current role with GTSI, Mr. Phillips, age 64, had been a venture partner at FirstMark Capital LLC, formerly Pequot Venture. Prior to that, Mr. Phillips served for six years as Chairman and CEO of Analex Corporation, a publicly traded federal professional services firm that was acquired in 2007 by QinetiQ North America. Before serving as Analex’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, he was senior vice president of Federal Data Corporation, which is now a part of Northrop Grumman. Mr. Phillips holds a BS in psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
