ALEXANDRIA, Va.-- VSE Corporation (Nasdaq: VSEC) reported today a jury awarded damages of approximately $4.8 million (exclusive of interest to be determined by the Court), against VSE in a civil litigation matter in a verdict rendered on June 30, 2016. As we have previously reported, Heritage Disposal and Storage LLC, filed a lawsuit against VSE in the United States District Court on February 27, 2015. The complaint alleged that VSE had not paid Heritage the full charges for services rendered related to the storage and manipulation of fireworks under a prime contract that VSE maintains with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

“A number of substantive issues remain under the Court’s consideration and no final ruling has been made. Notwithstanding these remaining issues, we intend to avail ourselves of all legal options. While the litigation is pending, we do not intend to comment or respond to inquiries regarding this matter,” said Thomas M. Kiernan, VSE General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. “However, we will continue to make appropriate disclosure as required by law.”
