EOS DEFENCE SYSTEMS EXECUTES ORDER

Canberra, 21 June 2017

Electro Optic Systems Holdings Ltd (ASX: EOS) confirmed today that it has executed a $170 million contract to supply weapons systems to Orbital ATK. The contract was foreshadowed in announcements from 3 March 2017.

The contract, deliverable from 2017 to 2020, relates to EOS’ new R-400S-Mk2 weapon system product, released to the market early in 2017. Prior to market launch, EOS developed a variant of the system to extract optimum performance from weapons produced by Orbital ATK for US, NATO, Commonwealth and other forces.

EOS announced on 27 March 2017 that the Orbital ATK contract value would be in the range AU$150-170 million, deliverable from 2017-2020.

EOS advised on 11 May 2017 that contract execution was delayed in order to determine whether production could be expanded to meet additional demands. Orbital ATK then increased its temporary purchase order with EOS to US$14 million to ensure that the initial contract moved forward while the companies jointly assessed new orders. The US$14 million of temporary purchase orders issued by Orbital ATK to initiate this program now lapse in favour of the main contract.

EOS and Orbital ATK have now executed the initial contract, first disclosed on 3 March 2017.

EOS has now secured access to sufficient resources and supplies to expand its order intake for 2017 well beyond this initial AU$170 million contract. EOS now expects to exceed AU$500 million in 2017 orders for its new R-400S-Mk2 weapon system.
