Aegis, Mission Essential Personnel Changes Name

June 9, 2008

COLUMBUS, Ohio , June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Aegis MEP has formally changed its name to Mission Essential Personnel, effective immediately.

Chad Monnin , Mission Essential Personnel Chief Executive Officer said, "Although we are only eliminating Aegis from the name, the change has a much larger impact. When we launched the company in 2004, security was one of the four primary business units, and as such, we chose "Aegis" as a name due to the Greek origins of protection and guidance."

"As our company has grown, our service offerings have expanded to include training, language services, business consulting for emerging markets, intelligence, information services, specialized staffing and expeditionary support," said Greg Miller , Chief Operating Officer.

"Today, our core business is about highly skilled people, program management and operational support within the United States and abroad. Our goal is to be the global leader in specialized operational support, and changing the name to reflect this is critical to the mission of providing certainty to all customers," concluded Monnin.

Mission Essential Personnel recently moved to expanded offices at 4343 Easton Commons , Columbus, Ohio . There will be no change in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR), DUNS, IRS or other company data.
