Exhibit (a)(21)
Payment Mechanics for Shares held at Solium
As you are aware, you own Argon ST shares and hold at least some of them in your Solium account. The shares you hold in your Solium account you acquired through one of two ways: 1) purchases under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan since June 2009 and/or 2) vesting in Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Units since June 2009.
You should have received a tender package for the shares in your Solium account. If you choose to tender those shares, once the tender is complete, the proceeds from the tender will be distributed to you. If you choose not to tender those shares, then upon the completion of the merger, the proceeds from the merger will be distributed to you. You have 3 alternatives as to how you will receive your tender or merger proceeds.
                 
                Time it takes to
Option Number   Name of Option   Fee   Description   Receive Proceeds
1
  Wire to Bank Account   $20 domestic / $40
international
  Money will be deposited directly to any financial account you choose (i.e. savings, checking, broker account, etc.)   Approximately 5 business days after the close of the tender (or merger if you do not tender your shares)
 
               
2
  ACH   $5   Money will be deposited directly to your checking account (MUST BE A US CHECKING ACCOUNT)   Approximately 5 business days after the close of the tender (or merger if you do not tender your shares)
 
               
3
  Check   $10   The check will be mailed to your address of record with Argon ST.   Approximately 5 business days after the close of the tender (or merger if you do not tender your shares)
If you do not have bank information set up with Solium, you will receive your tender or merger proceeds by check. Otherwise, Solium will distribute your tender or merger proceeds via ACH or wire transfer, based on the information you have set up for your Solium account. If you have both ACH and wire transfer information set up, your proceeds will be distributed via ACH.
If you wish to receive your proceeds via wire transfer or ACH, you must log in to your Solium account by no later than midnight on Wednesday, August 4th and enter your banking information. To enter your banking information please following the following steps:
  1)   Go to www.solium.com
