NOTE 2 - Significant Events and Transactions

On March 28, 2019, the Company implemented a holding company reorganization. The reorganization created a new holding company, BK Technologies Corporation, which became the new parent company of BK Technologies, Inc. The holding company reorganization was intended to create a more efficient corporate structure and increase operational flexibility. The Company did not incur any material operational or financial impacts. The holding company reorganization was effected through a merger transaction among BK Technologies, Inc., BK Technologies Corporation, then a wholly-owned subsidiary of BK Technologies, Inc., and a former direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of BK Technologies Corporation that merged with and into BK Technologies, Inc., with BK Technologies, Inc. surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of BK Technologies Corporation. The merger was a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the Company’s stockholders. No stockholder vote of the Company was required to effect the merger transaction.

As part of the holding company reorganization, stockholders of BK Technologies, Inc. became stockholders of BK Technologies Corporation, on a one-for-one basis, with the same number of shares and same ownership percentage of common stock that they held immediately prior to the holding company reorganization. Following the reorganization, BK Technologies Corporation replaced BK Technologies, Inc. as the publicly traded entity, and shares of BK Technologies Corporation were listed on the NYSE American under the symbol “BKTI,” which is the same symbol as previously used by BK Technologies, Inc. The Company’s common stock was assigned a new CUSIP Number: 05587G 104. The holding company has the same directors and executive officers as its predecessor, BK Technologies, Inc.

In March 2019, BK Technologies, Inc. made a dividend payment of $256 to BK Technologies Corporation as the holding company for the payment of quarterly dividends to stockholders.

Pursuant to the Company’s capital return program, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per share of the Company’s common stock in March 2019 to stockholders of record as of April 1, 2019. These dividends were paid on April 15, 2019.
