Dear Stockholder:

Please see the enclosed press release that PHAZAR CORP (“ PHAZAR ” or the “ Company ”) issued on July 8, 2013, announcing that leading independent proxy advisory firms ISS Proxy Advisory Services and Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC have both recommended that PHAZAR stockholders vote “ FOR ” adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 13, 2013 (the “ Merger Agreeme nt”), by and among PHAZAR, QAR Industries, Inc. and Antenna Products Acquisition Corp.  The Merger Agreement is being submitted to a vote at a special meeting of PHAZAR stockholders to be held on July 16, 2013.  As stated in the Company’s proxy materials previously sent to you, the Board of Directors of the Company, acting through its independent members, also recommends that you vote “ FOR ” adoption of the Merger Agreement.

Our records indicate that we have not yet received your vote. Please note that because the Merger Agreement must be adopted by the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (and not just shares actually voted), the effect of not voting is the same as voting against adoption of the Merger Agreement. With the special meeting date of July 16, 2013 fast approaching, we urge you to give this matter your immediate attention and take a few moments to vote your shares today , either by telephone or Internet. Instructions for telephone and Internet voting are contained in the enclosed voting instruction form.

If you have any questions or need any assistance voting your shares, please call Georgeson, Inc., the Company’s proxy solicitor, toll-free at 1-800-790-6795.   Thank you for your prompt attention to this very important matter.

Very Truly Yours,


/s/ Gary W. Havener
Gary W. Havener
Chairman of the Board

  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE          NASDAQ: ANTP
 
 

Leading Independent Proxy Advisory Firms ISS and Glass, Lewis & Co.
Recommend Vote “FOR” PHAZAR CORP Merger

MINERAL WELLS, Texas (July 8, 2013) PHAZAR CORP (NASDAQ: ANTP) (“ PHAZAR ” or the “ Company ”) today announced that leading independent proxy advisory firms ISS Proxy Advisory Services and Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC have both recommended that PHAZAR stockholders vote “FOR” adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”), dated March 13, 2013, by and among PHAZAR, QAR Industries, Inc. (“ Parent ”) and Antenna Products Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“ Merger Sub ”).  The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into PHAZAR, with PHAZAR surviving the merger as a private company wholly owned by Parent.  The Merger Agreement is being submitted to a vote at a special meeting of PHAZAR stockholders to be held on July 16, 2013.

Gary W. Havener, Chairman of the Board of Directors of PHAZAR, stated: “We are pleased by the recommendations of these two firms, which we believe further validate the position of our independent directors that the merger is in the best interests of PHAZAR and its unaffiliated stockholders.”

Neither of these recommendations was solicited by PHAZAR, Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective affiliates and no fees were paid to these firms by PHAZAR, Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective affiliates.

As previously stated by the Company in its proxy materials, the ramifications of failing to adopt the Merger Agreement and complete the merger include:
 
-
Stockholders losing the certainty provided by the Merger Agreement of receiving a fixed amount of cash consideration for their shares of $1.25 per share;
   
-
The likely de-registration of PHAZAR as a public company and the de-listing of its stock from NASDAQ in order to reduce operating costs, which the Company expects would have a significant and adverse effect on the liquidity of its stock; and
   
-
The possibility, if its operating losses continue, that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they come due and be forced to file for bankruptcy.  These obligations include the $500,000 loan from Parent secured by the Company’s real estate assets, which will become due and payable on July 31, 2013.  It is unlikely that the Company will have sufficient cash to repay the loan when it comes due.
 
 
CONSUMMATION OF THE MERGER REQUIRES ADOPTION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT BY THE HOLDERS OF A MAJORITY OF ALL OUTSTANDING SHARES OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK (AND NOT JUST SHARES ACTUALLY VOTED).  THEREFORE, A NON-VOTE IS THE SAME AS A VOTE AGAINST THE MERGER AGREEMENT.  ALL STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, ISS AND GLASS LEWIS AND VOTE “FOR” ADOPTION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

PHAZAR encourages all stockholders who have not done so already to vote their shares today by calling Georgeson Inc., PHAZAR’s proxy solicitor, toll free at 1-800-790-6795. Stockholders can also vote via the internet by following the instructions on their proxy card.   Each stockholder’s vote is important, regardless of the number of shares owned. PHAZAR’s Board of Directors, acting through its independent members, recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” adoption of the Merger Agreement.
