Dear Stockholder:

Please see the enclosed press release issued by PHAZAR CORP (“ PHAZAR ” or the “ Company ”), announcing the adjournment of the Special Meeting of Stockholders held on July 16, 2013, to allow additional time for stockholders to vote on the proposed Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 13, 2013 (the “ Merger Agreement ”), by and among PHAZAR, QAR Industries, Inc. and Antenna Products Acquisition Corp.  The Special Meeting will reconvene on July 24, 2013, at 4:00 p.m. CDT at the National Depository Office, located at 405 W. Loop 820 South, Suite 100, Fort Worth, Texas.

The Company’s Board of Directors, acting through its independent members, and leading independent proxy advisory firms ISS Proxy Advisory Services and Glass, Lewis & Co., all have recommended that stockholders vote FOR adoption of the Merger Agreement.

While more than two-thirds of your fellow stockholders who have voted so far have voted in favor of the Merger Agreement, the adoption of the Merger Agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, and nearly 700,000 shares remain unvoted. The enclosed press release describes the consequences that are expected to result if the Merger Agreement is not adopted and the merger does not occur.   We need your help to prevent this from happening.

Our records indicate that we have not yet received your vote.  If you have not done so already, please 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

PHAZAR CORP ANNOUNCES ADJOURNMENT OF SPECIAL MEETING OF
STOCKHOLDERS; TO RECONVENE JULY 24, 2013

MINERAL WELLS, Texas (July 16, 2013) PHAZAR CORP (NASDAQ: ANTP) (“ PHAZAR ” or the “ Company ”) announced that at its Special Meeting of Stockholders held today, the Company’s stockholders approved the adjournment of the Special Meeting to allow additional time to solicit proxies for the proposal to adopt 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 ”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into PHAZAR, with PHAZAR surviving the merger as a private company wholly owned by Parent.  The Special Meeting will reconvene on July 24, 2013 at 4:00 p.m., Central Daylight Time, at the same location - the National Depository Office, located at 405 W. Loop 820 South, Suite 100, Fort Worth, Texas.
 
The Board of Directors, acting through its independent members, has recommended that stockholders vote “FOR” adoption of the Merger Agreement.  As previously stated by the Company, 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;
 
-  
PHAZAR’s plan to delist from NASDAQ and deregister from the SEC 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 probability that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they come due and may 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.   The Company currently has insufficient cash to repay the loan and no anticipated source for refinancing.
 
Of the votes that were submitted by proxy prior to today’s meeting, more than two-thirds were cast in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement.  However, the adoption of the Merger Agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of outstanding shares of PHAZAR’s common stock, which includes nearly 700,000 shares that remained unvoted as of the time of today’s meeting.
 
“The strong support for the Merger Agreement that we have received thus far from our stockholders who have voted is very encouraging,” said Gary W. Havener, Chairman of the Board of Directors of PHAZAR. Mr. Havener added: “As we previously announced, leading independent proxy advisory firms ISS Proxy Advisory Services and Glass, Lewis & Co. have both recommended that stockholders vote FOR adoption of the Merger Agreement.  Today’s adjournment will provide stockholders who have not yet participated in this critical process the opportunity to do so, which we urge them to do.”
 
 
 

 
 
Every stockholder’s vote is important, regardless of the number of shares owned.  Please act today !

Stockholders who need assistance in voting their shares or who have questions regarding the special meeting may contact the Company’s proxy solicitor, Georgeson, Inc.   at 1-800-790-6795 or Kathy Kindle at PHAZAR 940-325-3301 ext. 245 .
