Item 8.01 Other Events
 
On August 23, 2006, with an effective date of September 1, 2006, Joseph C. Hayden, the Executive Vice President-Programs and Contracts of Ionatron, Inc. (the “Company”) and Stephen McCahon, the Company’s Executive Vice President-Technology, each entered into a Sales Plan with a brokerage firm under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such plans allow a corporate insider to gradually diversify holdings of his company’s common stock while minimizing any market effects of such trades by spreading them out over an extended period of time and eliminating any market concern that such trades were made by a person while in possession of material nonpublic information.
 
Mr. Hayden’s 10b5-1 plan provides for the sales of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock per month over a 12 month period up to a maximum of 600,000 shares with minimum sales prices of $5.00 as to 480,000 of the shares and $8.00 as to 120,000 of the shares. Mr. McCahon’s 10b5-1 plan provides for the sales of 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock per month over a ten month period up to a maximum of 600,000 shares with a minimum sales price of $5.00. All sales under the 10b5-1 plans are subject to the terms and conditions thereof.
