Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws

On February 11, 2009, the Board of Directors of ATS Corporation (the “Company”) approved amendments to Section 2.9 of the Company’s amended and restated bylaws, which also resulted in the deletion of former Section 2.10 of the Company’s bylaws.  Specifically, the amendments were to the advance notice provisions of the bylaws to remove ambiguities and to take into account recent Delaware case law, and will be effective following this year’s annual shareholder meeting, currently scheduled in May 2009.  Such amendments implemented changes in relation to the Company’s advance notice procedures, including the following:

• distinguishing between nominations and other business to be considered at the stockholder meeting;

• requiring the disclosure of all ownership interests, including derivatives, of a stockholder making a proposal or nominating a director candidate;

• requiring that a proponent of business other than nominations describe the business proposed to be conducted at the meeting, any material interest the proponent has in such business and any agreements the proponent may have with other entities in connection with the proposed business;

• further elaborating upon the information required to be provided by a stockholder that proposes to nominate a director candidate to include, in addition to all information required to be disclosed in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements during the past three years and other material arrangements between the stockholder and nominee;

• requiring a completed questionnaire by the proposed nominee, in a form provided by the Company, to be submitted with the stockholder proponent’s notice, that particularly requires candidates to represent that they do not have any undisclosed voting commitments or other arrangements with respect to director actions; and

• clearly distinguishing the advance notice requirements from the requirements under Rule 14a-8 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s proxy rules for companies to include stockholder proposals in the Company’s proxy statement.

Further, the advance notice deadlines in Section 2.9 have been amended.  Pursuant to new Section 2.9(a)(ii), beginning for next year’s 2010 annual meeting, any nominations or other business to be brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder must be presented in a timely notice to the Company’s Secretary and to be considered timely, such notice must generally be delivered to the Secretary no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, subject to limited exceptions if the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary.

The preceding description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amended and restated bylaws of the Company, to become effective following the 2009 annual shareholder meeting, which are filed hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01                      Other Events

On February 17, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing approval by the Board of Directors of a repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase up to the lesser of (i) $3.0 million of common stock or (ii) 2.0 million shares of common stock, in the open market from time to time over a 12-month period.  Purchases under the program may be executed in the Company’s discretion and whether purchases will be made and the number of shares to be repurchased at any time will depend on market conditions at the time and other factors.  The press release containing the announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

(ii)           Without qualification or limitation, for any nominations or any other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(i)(z) of these bylaws, the stockholder must have previously given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such annual meeting; provided further, that if, in such event (i.e., the date of the annual meeting being more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date), the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation.

 (x) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, (I) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, if any, (II) (A) the class or series and number of shares of the Corporation which are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, (B) any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of shares of the Corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares of the Corporation, whether or not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of capital stock of the Corporation or otherwise (a “Derivative Instrument”) directly or indirectly owned beneficially by such stockholder and any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation, (C) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship pursuant to which such stockholder has а right to vote any shares of any security of the Company, (D) any short interest in any security of the Company (for purposes of this bylaw, а person shall be deemed to have а short interest in а security if such person directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any decrease in the value of the subject security), (E) any rights to dividends on the shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by such stockholder that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (F) any proportionate interest in shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by а general or limited partnership in which such stockholder is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner and (G) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that such stockholder is entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, as of the date of such notice, including without limitation any such interests held by members of such stockholder’s immediate family sharing the same household (which information shall be supplemented by such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, not later than 10 days after the record date for the meeting to disclose such ownership as of the record date), and (III) any other information relating to such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and

(y) if the notice relates to any business other than a nomination of a director or directors that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting,  (I) а brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest of such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, in such business and (II) a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder; and

(z) if the stockholder proposes to nominate a person for election or reelection to the Board of Directors, as to each person, if any, whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection to the Board of Directors (I) all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in а contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected) and (II) а description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and their respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the one hand, and each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the other hand, including, without limitation, all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K (or any successor regulation) if the stockholder making the nomination and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made, if any, or any affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith, were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant.

In addition, if the stockholder proposes to nominate a person for election or reelection to the Board of Directors, the notice must, with respect to each nominee for election or reelection to the Board of Directors, include a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 2.9(d) of these bylaws.

The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lасk thereof, of such nominee.  

(iii)           Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.9(a)(ii) of these bylaws to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, а stockholder’s notice required by this bylaw shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(b)           Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Cоrpоration’s notice of meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who (x) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this bylaw and at the time of the special meeting, (y) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (z) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this bylaw as to such nomination. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by Section 2.9(a)(ii) of these bylaws with respect to any nomination (including the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 2.9(d) of these bylaws) shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such special meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such special meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(c)           General.

(i)           Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this bylaw shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this bylaw. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the chair of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this bylaw and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this bylaw, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.

(ii)           For purposes of this bylaw, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(iii)           Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this bylaw, а stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this bylaw; provided, however, that any references in these bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(i)(z) or Section 2.9(b) of these bylaws. Nothing in this bylaw shall be deemed to affect any rights (x) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14а-8 under the Exchange Act or (y) of the holders of any class or series of stock having preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation if and to the extent provided for under law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws.

(d)           Submission of Questionnaire, Representation and Agreement. To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a director of the Corporation, a person must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under this Section 2.9 of these bylaws) to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation а written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made (which questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request) and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request) that such person (i) is not and will not become a party to (x) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (y) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (ii) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed therein, and (iii) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the Corporation, and will comply with all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the Corporation.

MCLEAN, VA – (BUSINESSWIRE) – February 17, 2009, ATS Corporation (“ATSC” or the “Company”) (OTCBB:ATCT), a leading information technology company that delivers innovative technology solutions to government and commercial organizations, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase up to the lesser of $3.0 million or 2.0 million shares of Company common stock, in the open market from time to time over a twelve-month period.  The timing of the share repurchases under the program is at the discretion of the Company and will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions and bank approvals and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.  Common stock acquired through the repurchase program will be held by the Company as treasury shares and may be used for general corporate purposes, including reissuances in connection with acquisitions, employee stock option exercises or other employee stock plans.  The Company currently has approximately 22.5 million shares outstanding, which excludes any shares issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding warrants that expire in October of this year, to purchase approximately 3 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share.

“We believe that the current market value of our shares does not accurately reflect the underlying value of the Company,” said Dr. Edward Bersoff, ATSC President and Chief Executive Officer.  “We will continue to assess means to improve the long term value of the Company for our shareholders,“ Bersoff added.
