                              INFORMATION STATEMENT
                     FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
                        TO BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 14, 1999

         This  Information  Statement  is  furnished  by  Telos  Corporation,  a
Maryland corporation ("Telos" or the "Company"),  formerly known as C3, Inc., to
the holders of the Company's 12% Cumulative  Exchangeable  Redeemable  Preferred
Stock ("Exchangeable  Preferred Stock") in connection with the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders  ("Annual  Meeting") of the Company to be held in the auditorium at
the Company's  headquarters  located at 19886 Ashburn  Road,  Ashburn,  Virginia
20147 on  September  14,  1999 at 10:00  A.M.,  Eastern  Standard  Time,  or any
adjournment  of it, for the  purposes  set forth in the  accompanying  Notice of
Annual Meeting of Shareholders ("Annual Meeting Notice").

         This   Information   Statement  is  being  mailed  to  holders  of  the
Exchangeable  Preferred  Stock on or about  August 25,  1999  together  with the
Annual  Meeting Notice and the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.


WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY, AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.


Nominations

         Telos has received  nominations  for election as Class D Directors  for
the following persons:

                  Julio E. Heurtematte, Jr.
                  Malcolm M.B. Sterrett


Voting At Meeting

         The record date for  determining the  shareholders  entitled to vote at
the Annual  Meeting is August 20, 1999 ("Record  Date").  As of the Record Date,
there were 3,185,586 shares of Exchangeable  Preferred Stock  outstanding.  Each
share of  Exchangeable  Preferred  Stock is  entitled  to one vote at the Annual
Meeting  on the  election  of Class D  Directors  and may be  voted  for as many
individuals  as  there  are  Class  D  Directors  to  be  elected.   Holders  of
Exchangeable  Preferred  Stock are not entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on
the  election  of any  directors  other  than  Class D  Directors.  There  is no
cumulative voting. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast with a
quorum present. A quorum consists of shareholders representing, either in person
or by  proxy,  a  majority  of the  outstanding  shares  of each  class of stock
entitled  to  vote  at  the  Annual  Meeting.   Abstentions  are  considered  in
determining  the  presence  of a quorum but will not affect the  plurality  vote
required for the election of directors.

         If the  election of the Class D  Directors  is  contested,  under rules
applicable to broker-dealers voting shares beneficially owned by customers,  the
proposal   for  the   election   of  the   nominees   would  be   considered   a
"non-discretionary"  item upon  which  broker-dealers  may not vote on behalf of
their  clients  unless such clients have  furnished  voting  instructions.  As a
result,  there may be broker  non-votes at the Annual Meeting.  However,  broker
non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors by a plurality  vote.
If there is no contest,  the proposal  for the election of the nominees  will be
considered a "discretionary"  item upon which  broker-dealers may vote on behalf
of their clients where the clients have not submitted  voting  instructions.  In
that case, there will be no broker non-votes at the Annual Meeting.


Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

         The  following  table sets forth  information  concerning  the security
ownership  of  management  and  those  persons  believed  by the  Company  to be
beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company's Class A Common Stock, Class B
Common Stock and Exchangeable Preferred Stock at June 30, 1999.

Employment Contracts

          As of December 31, 1998,  the Company was a party to  agreements  with
     certain of its executive  officers.  Mr. Mark W. Hester,  former  Executive
     Vice  President and former Chief  Operating  Officer  resigned in 1999. Mr.
     David S. Aldrich,  Vice President and Chief Operation Officer,  Mr. William
     L. P. Brownley,  Vice President and General Counsel, Mr. Gerald D. Calhoun,
     Vice  President,  Human  Resources and Corporate  Secretary,  Mr. Robert J.
     Marino,  Chief Sales and  Marketing  Officer,  Mr.  Lorenzo  Tellez,  Chief
     Financial  Officer,  Treasurer  and Vice  President,  and Mr. John B. Wood,
     Director,  President and Chief Executive Officer, currently have employment
     agreements  with the  Company.  The  agreements  are for one year terms and
     provide  for a  payment  of two  years'  base  salary  then  in  effect  if
     involuntarily   terminated   or  if  the   agreements   are  not  extended.
     Accordingly,  Messrs. Aldrich,  Brownley,  Calhoun, Marino, Tellez and Wood
     would  receive  annually,  given their  present  salary  levels,  $181,000,
     $171,000,  $169,000, $206,000, $219,000 and $350,000,  respectively,  for a
     two year period.

          In addition to base salary,  the  executives  are eligible for a bonus
     and for the grant of stock options under the agreements.  The amount of the
     bonus is determined by reference to the amount,  if any, of earnings before
     taxes and goodwill  amortization of the Company for the year. Each year the
     Company  renegotiates  these  employment  contracts  as part of the  yearly
     review  process.  Accordingly,  in 1999, the Company  expects to review the
     contracts described above.
