BAE Systems - Strategic assessment of US-based, manpower and services businesses of I&S sector

24 April 2015

BAE Systems regularly reviews its business portfolio and operations to remain optimally aligned with key markets and to maximise value for customers and shareholders.

The US-based manpower and services businesses of the Group's US Intelligence and Security (I&S) sector, which span technical, mission and IT support services and predominantly serve the US government, have generated external interest and a number of enquiries. As a result, BAE Systems has engaged external advisors to support a strategic assessment of these businesses.

This assessment does not include the technology/product-focused geospatial intelligence business of I&S, or the Group's cyber security and intelligence business, BAE Systems Applied Intelligence.

There can be no certainty that any transaction will occur.  Any further announcement will be made as appropriate.
