(February 4, 2010) – Duluth, Georgia – Wegener Corporation (Nasdaq: WGNR), a leading provider of equipment for television, audio and data distribution networks worldwide, today announced that the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held on February 2, 2010. Four items were included on the proxy statement for consideration by stockholders and all were approved.

First, independent directors Stephen J. Lococo and Thomas G. Elliot were reelected as Class III directors of Wegener Corporation to serve for a three-year term.  Second, an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation was approved, which allows the Company to effect a reverse stock split of all the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at an exchange ratio between and including twelve-for-one and twenty-for-one.  Third, the Company’s 2010 Incentive Plan was approved.  Finally, the appointment of BDO Seidman, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2010 was ratified.

Troy Woodbury, Wegener Corporation’s President and CEO remarked, “I am very pleased by the support we have received from shareholders in approving the four recommendations presented for consideration.  We have a lot of hard work to do to turn Wegener Corporation around and increase shareholder value.  Our entire team, employees, management and the board, are very focused on doing so.  Although a reverse stock split has been authorized by the stockholders, no such split will take place unless it is clear to me and the entire board that the future performance of the company will support such a split. Additionally, any options granted under the new incentive plan will be only be authorized by the Compensation Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors. 
 
An audio recording of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders is now available on WEGENER’s website.
