Certain recordkeeping, trust, and investment services for the VSE Corporation
Employee ESOP/401(k) Plan will be transferred to Merrill Lynch effective

plan participants of the conversion of these services was provided in a Notice

the conversion, which includes a Blackout Period when participants are
restricted from making specific plan transactions (e.g., investment exchanges,
account distributions, contribution changes, etc.).
The Blackout Period for the plan conversion is scheduled for October 28
through November 21, 2003. Since the plan holds VSE Corporation Common Stock,
par value $.05 per share ("VSE Stock"), directors and executive officers of
VSE Corporation ("VSE") will be restricted from directly or indirectly selling
or otherwise acquiring or transferring any shares of VSE Stock during the
Blackout Period, other than any purchase or sale of VSE Stock through a valid
and pre-existing 10b5-1 plan.
