(e) This report amends the Form 8-K dated September 6, 2007 filed by Alliant Techsystems Inc. (“ATK”) regarding the amendments to the Alliant Techsystems Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan. Specifically, Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K, the Alliant Techsystems Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan, as Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2005, as Further Adopted on September 6, 2007, has been revised to attach as Appendix A the proper Prior Plan Statement, which was amended and restated March 18, 2003.

On September 6, 2007, the Personnel and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of ATK’s Board of Directors approved amendments to the Alliant Techsystems Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan was amended primarily to comply with the requirements and final regulations promulgated under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, relating to deferred compensation. Among other things, required language was added to clarify provisions regarding termination of employment and retirement, establishment of open enrollment periods, and termination of the Plan; and language was removed to eliminate the Committee’s or ATK’s Chief Executive Officer’s discretionary termination of deferral elections.

This description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference.
