Item 2.04. Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

(a) Under the terms of the indenture governing Alliant Techsystems Inc.’s (“ATK”) 2.75% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes, $280 million aggregate principal amount, that mature on February 15, 2024 (the “2.75% Convertible Notes”), the holders of the 2.75% Convertible Notes are entitled to convert their notes if, during any fiscal quarter, the last reported sale price of ATK’s common stock is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price, or $103.30, for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter. This condition was satisfied on June 13, 2008. The conversion rate is 12.5843 shares of ATK common stock per $1,000 principal amount of these notes (a conversion price of $79.46). Accordingly, the 2.75% Convertible Notes are now convertible at any time at the option of the holder from June 30, 2008 through September 28, 2008, and will remain convertible so long as ATK’s stock price continues to meet the 130%-of-conversion-price condition, as described above. The indenture requires ATK to satisfy 100% of the principal amount of these notes solely in cash, with any amounts above the principal amount to be satisfied in cash, common stock, or a combination of cash and common stock, at the sole election of ATK.

Under the terms of the indenture governing ATK’s 3.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes, $200 million aggregate principal amount, that mature on August 15, 2024 (the “3.00% Convertible Notes”), the holders of the 3.00% Convertible Notes are entitled to convert their notes if, during any fiscal quarter, the last reported sale price of ATK’s common stock is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price, or $103.68, for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter. This condition was satisfied on June 17, 2008. The conversion rate is 12.5392 shares of ATK common stock per $1,000 principal amount of these notes (a conversion price of $79.75). Accordingly, the 3.00% Convertible Notes are now convertible at any time at the option of the holder from June 30, 2008 through September 28, 2008, and will remain convertible so long as ATK’s stock price continues to meet the 130%-of-conversion-price condition, as described above. The indenture requires ATK to satisfy 100% of the principal amount of these notes solely in cash, with any amounts above the principal amount to be satisfied in cash, common stock, or a combination of cash and common stock, at the sole election of ATK.

As a result of the 2.75% Convertible Notes and 3.00% Convertible Notes becoming convertible, $480 million of long-term debt will be reclassified to current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet for the quarter ending June 29, 2008. These Notes had been convertible during the third and fourth quarters of ATK’s fiscal 2008, but not during the first quarter of its fiscal 2009. To date, no securities have been presented for conversion.

ATK’s principal sources of liquidity continue to be cash generated by operations and borrowings under its credit facilities. Based on ATK’s current financial condition, management believes that cash generated from operating activities, combined with the availability of funding, if needed, under its revolving credit facilities, as well as through future sources of funding, including accessing debt and equity markets, will be adequate to fund its current and long-term debt obligations, make capital expenditures, and fund future growth at ATK over the next 12 months.

Certain statements made and information contained in this report constitute forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although ATK believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. Forward-looking information is subject to certain risks, trends, and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Among these factors are: delays in NASA’s human-rated launch programs; changes in governmental spending, budgetary policies and product sourcing strategies; the company’s competitive environment; risks inherent in the development and manufacture of advanced technology; increases in commodity costs, energy prices, and production costs; the terms and timing of awards and contracts; program performance; program terminations; changes in cost estimates related to relocation of facilities; the outcome of contingencies, including litigation and environmental remediation; actual pension asset returns and assumptions regarding future returns, discount rates and service costs; the availability of capital market financing; changes in tax rules or pronouncements; economic conditions; and the company’s capital deployment strategy, including debt repayment, share repurchases, pension funding, mergers and acquisitions and any integration thereof. ATK undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. For further information on factors that could impact ATK, and statements contained herein, please refer to ATK’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
