| Amendment Description | On March 16, 2023, BK Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) filed, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Report” or “Form 10-K”). This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) updates the Form 10- K, which omitted Part III (Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14) in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which provides that such information may be either incorporated by reference from the registrant’s definitive proxy statement or included in an amendment to Form 10-K, in either case filed with the SEC not later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year. While we intend to file our preliminary proxy statement for our 2023 annual meeting of shareholders shortly, the timing of the filing of a definitive proxy statement will be outside this window for incorporation by reference. Accordingly, this Amendment is being filed to (i) amend Part III (Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14) of the Form 10-K to include the information required by such Items, (ii) delete the reference on the cover of the Form 10-K to the incorporation by reference of portions of our proxy statement into Part III of the Form 10-K, and (iii) file new certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as exhibits to this Amendment under Item 15 of Part IV hereof, pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). | |
