Kratos Announces Results of Tender Offer for
 
7.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2019
 
SAN DIEGO, CA, September 22, 2015 — Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTOS), a leading National Security Solutions provider, announced today the results of its previously announced cash tender offer for up to $175 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (CUSIP No. 50077BAL2) (“Notes”) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated August 24, 2015 and related Letter of Transmittal. The tender offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 21, 2015 (the “Offer Expiration Date”).
 
As of the Offer Expiration Date, $618,647,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes had been validly tendered, of which $175 million aggregate principal amount was accepted by Kratos for purchase (after applying a proration factor of approximately 28.3207% and the proration procedures described in the Offer to Purchase). Kratos will pay total consideration for the tendered Notes at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date on which the tendered Notes are paid, which is expected to be September 22, 2015. Kratos will fund the payment for tendered and accepted Notes with a portion of the net proceeds resulting from the sale of the U.S. and U.K. operations of Kratos’ Electronic Products Division. Notes not tendered in the tender offer will remain outstanding.
 
Kratos retained SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. to act as dealer manager and D.F. King & Co. to act as tender agent and information agent for the tender offer.
