SCHEDULE 13D
Reference is hereby made to the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 2, 2013, as amended on December 30, 2013, and as amended on December 19, 2014 (the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Frequency Electronics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation” or “Company”).

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
The aggregate purchase price of the 848,855 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is approximately $8,823,304 not including brokerage commissions, which was funded with partnership funds of Privet Fund LP and with assets under separately managed accounts with Privet Fund Management LLC. Privet Fund LP effects purchases of securities primarily through margin accounts maintained for it with prime brokers, which may extend margin credit to it as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules, and the prime brokers’ credit policies.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On June 4, 2015, the Reporting Persons and the Corporation entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”). The following description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Corporation agreed, among other things, to select and appoint a director nominee to the Corporation’s board of directors (the “Board”) from two candidates presented by the Reporting Persons, when and if the Reporting Persons elect to present such candidates to the Board. The Reporting Persons agreed to not propose any matters for shareholder action or any candidates for shareholder election to the Board and to other customary standstill provisions until the earliest of (i) thirty (30) days prior to the last date on which a stockholder may timely submit to the Corporation notice of the Reporting Persons’ intention to nominate a director or propose an item of business at the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders, (ii) termination of the Agreement, or (iii) ten days after notice to the Company that it has materially breached the Agreement, unless such breach has been cured. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Sections 3.2(a)(i)(D), 3.2(a)(ii), 3.2(a)(iii), 3.2(a)(iv) and 3.4 shall survive any termination of the Agreement by the Reporting Persons until the completion of the 2015 Annual Meeting unless a third party arbitrator determines that there has been a material breach of the Agreement by the Company which remained uncured for a specified period of time or if the Company notifies the Reporting Persons that it has waived its right to avail itself of the arbitration procedure to determine whether an alleged material breach by the Company has occurred. The Agreement also contains confidentiality provisions with respect to certain information provided to the Reporting Persons.
