[DEF 14A] Frequency Electronics, Inc. Definitive Proxy Statement

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Frequency Electronics (FEIM) provides proxy disclosures showing board composition, insider ownership and recent equity awards. The board reports strong experience counts across finance, risk, strategy and public company service, with 4–5 of 5 directors noted in several categories. An insider trading policy is referenced and filed as Exhibit 19 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025. Significant beneficial holders listed include Jonathan Brolin (1,897,813 shares, 19.5%), Wax Asset Management (676,869 shares, 6.9%), Vanguard (513,063 shares, 5.3%) and the Frequency Electronics 401(k) (500,899 shares, 5.1%). Executive and director group ownership totals 2,728,052 shares (28.0%). On July 31, 2024, the company granted PSUs: 50,000 to Dr. McClelland and 40,000 to Mr. Bernstein, vesting equally over four years and tied to consolidated bookings, revenue and operating income. The disclosure states the company has no specific policy on timing of option awards in relation to material nonpublic information. A $1 per share dividend was paid in August 2024.

Positive

• Board experience breadth: multiple directors reported with 4–5 of 5 in finance, risk, strategy and public company experience
• Insider trading policy filed as Exhibit 19 for fiscal year ended April 30, 2025
• Performance-linked PSU grants: 50,000 PSUs to Dr. McClelland and 40,000 PSUs to Mr. Bernstein vesting over four years tied to bookings, revenue and operating income
• Significant insider alignment: executives and directors hold 2,728,052 shares (28.0%)

Negative

• No specific timing policy for awards in relation to disclosure of material nonpublic information
• Concentrated ownership (28.0% by insiders) may raise governance or control considerations for some investors

Insights

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Board composition and insider alignment are clear, but timing-policy gap on awards is a governance weakness.

The proxy shows a relatively concentrated insider ownership position (28.0% held by executives and directors) and several institutional holders above 5%, which aligns management and major shareholders. The board reports multi-disciplinary experience across finance, risk and strategy, which supports oversight. However, the explicit statement that the company has no specific policy on the timing of equity awards relative to material nonpublic information is a governance shortcoming; many peers adopt formal grant-timing policies to avoid perceived opportunistic grants. The insider trading policy is filed as Exhibit 19, but the proxy does not describe further controls or timing safeguards.

Compensation Analyst

TL;DR: PSU grants to CEO and CFO are performance-linked and multi-year, but disclosure omits timing safeguards.

The company granted performance stock units on July 31, 2024 — 50,000 to the CEO and 40,000 to the CFO — with four-year cliff/equal vesting and performance metrics tied to bookings, revenue and operating income, which aligns pay with multi-year operational goals. The proxy includes granular ownership and some compensation figures. The notable omission is any formal policy restricting award timing relative to material disclosures, which may raise stakeholder questions about grant timing practices despite performance-based design.

PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To be held on October 8, 2025

This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Frequency Electronics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”), for use at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at the offices of the Company, 55 Charles Lindbergh Boulevard, Mitchel Field, New York 11553 on the 8th day of October 2025, at 10:00 A.M., Eastern Time, or any adjournment or adjournments thereof. This Proxy Statement, together with the accompanying Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”) and the Proxy Card, are first being mailed to stockholders on or about August 28, 2025. Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 21, 2025 are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting.

The Board may use the services of the Company’s directors, officers and other regular employees to solicit proxies personally or by telephone and may request brokers, fiduciaries, custodians and nominees to send proxies, proxy statements and other materials to their principals and reimburse them for their out-of-pocket expenses in so doing. The Company will bear the cost of soliciting proxies, which it estimates will not exceed $10,000. Each proxy duly executed and returned to the Company is revocable. The procedure a stockholder must follow to revoke his or her proxy depends on how such stockholder holds his or her shares. Registered holders of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Common Stock”), may revoke a previously submitted proxy by submitting another valid later dated proxy or by providing a signed letter of revocation to the Company’s Secretary before the closing of the polls at the Annual Meeting. Only the latest dated validly executed proxy will count. Stockholders also may revoke any previously submitted proxy by attending the Annual Meeting and voting their shares during the Annual Meeting. Note that simply attending the Annual Meeting without taking one of the above actions will not revoke a proxy. In general, stockholders holding shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other third-party custodian may revoke previously submitted voting instructions by submitting to their custodian another valid voting instruction or a signed letter of revocation. Stockholders holding shares in “street name” should contact their custodian for detailed instructions on how to revoke their voting instruction and the applicable deadlines.

Voting Securities and Votes Required

The Board fixed the close of business on August 21, 2025, as the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”). As of the Record Date, the Company had 9,749,271 shares of Common Stock, (excluding 34,999 treasury shares) outstanding. Each share of Common Stock entitles the record holder thereof to one vote on each matter brought before the Annual Meeting. No shares of preferred stock were outstanding as of the Record Date. A majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum. Rights of appraisal or similar rights of dissenters are not available to stockholders of the Company with respect to any matter to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting.

A stockholder who abstains from voting on any or all proposals will be included in the number of stockholders present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Shares held by brokers that are voted on any matter will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. Broker-held shares that are not voted on any matter will not be included in determining whether a quorum is present. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker does not instruct the broker how to vote those shares and the broker does not otherwise have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter. Brokers are not permitted to vote shares without instructions on proposals that are not considered “routine.” Accordingly, brokers are entitled to vote on Proposal Number 2 (the ratification of the independent registered public accounting firm), which is considered a “routine” matter, but brokers are not entitled to vote on Proposal Number 1 (the election of directors), Proposal Number 3 (advisory vote on executive compensation) or Proposal Number 4 (advisory vote on the frequency of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation). In order to avoid a broker non-vote on these proposals, a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker must send voting instructions to that broker.

Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal Number 1 (the election of directors), Proposal Number 3 (the advisory vote on executive compensation), and Proposal Number 4 (advisory vote on the frequency of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation). Because Proposal Number 2 (the ratification of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending April 30, 2026) is a “routine” proposal where brokers have discretionary authority to vote in the absence of instructions, we do not expect any broker non-votes for this proposal.

Stockholder abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal Number 1 (the election of directors). However, Stockholder abstentions will have the effect of a vote “against” Proposal Number 2 (the ratifying of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm), Proposal Number 3 (the advisory vote on executive compensation) and Proposal Number 4 (advisory vote on the frequency of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation).

If you are a stockholder whose shares are registered directly in your name with Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, our transfer agent, and you return a signed Proxy Card without giving specific voting instructions, then the individuals designated as proxyholders on the Proxy Card will vote your shares in accordance with the recommendations of the Board: (i) “FOR” the election of each of the five (5) Board nominees listed herein, (ii) “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026, (iii) “FOR” the approval of the non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers and (iv) for “ONE YEAR” as to the frequency of future advisory executive compensation advisory votes.

Please vote your proxy so your vote can be counted.

It is expected that the following business will be considered at the Annual Meeting and action will be taken thereon.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any director and executive officer.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

No director, executive officer, significant employee or control person of the Company has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K (“Regulation S-K”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) in the past 10 years.

Transactions with Related Persons

Since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, there have been no transactions between the Company and any related persons in which the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of the Company’s total assets at fiscal year end and for the last two completed fiscal years.

Policy Regarding Hedging

Because the hedging of the Company’s securities may weaken the alignment of the interests of our directors and officers from those of our stockholders, we have a policy prohibiting our directors and officers, including our named executive officers, as well as their respective family members, from engaging in any transactions (such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) with respect to the Company’s securities held by them to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of the Company’s securities.

Policy Regarding Insider Trading

The Company has adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale, and other disposition of the Company’s securities by our directors, officers, and employees, and by the Company. The Company believes this policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules, and regulations and listing standards applicable to the Company. A copy of the insider trading policy is filed as Exhibit 19 to the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.

Compensation of Directors:

Directors’ Fees Paid in Cash. Directors who are not officers of the Company receive annual directors’ fees of $50,000 per year. In addition, the chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional annual stipend of $8,000 and the chairman of the Compensation Committee receives an additional annual stipend of $4,000. Company officers do not receive additional compensation for their service on the Board or for attendance at Board meetings or committee meetings.

Directors’ Fees Paid in Stock. Directors who are not officers of the Company also receive annual directors’ fees in the form of Common Stock. On October 31, each eligible director received 6,702 shares of the Company’s Common Stock with an aggregate grant date fair value of $84,579.

The table below reflects director fees paid to directors during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025

Assuming the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by holders of shares of Common Stock is required for the election of directors. The five (5) nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected.

THE BOARD DEEMS PROPOSAL NO. 1 TO BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COMPANY AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS AND RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE COMPANY DIRECTOR NOMINEES NAMED ABOVE.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, has appointed the firm of Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) to be the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026, and recommends to stockholders that they vote for ratification of that appointment.

It is anticipated that a representative of Grant Thornton will be present at the Annual Meeting. Such representative will be given the opportunity to make a statement and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

The following table presents the aggregate fees and expenses paid or accrued by the Company for professional services in fiscal year 2025 and 2024 rendered by Grant Thornton.

Service		2025				2024
Audit Fees (1)		$	534,971			$	515,487
Audit-Related Fees (2)			37,080				36,050
Tax Fees (3)			-				-
All Other Fees (4)			28,036				-
TOTAL		$	600,087			$	551,537

(1) Audit fees consist of professional services rendered for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements, the reviews of the quarterly financial statements, issuance of consents and assistance with and review of documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

(2) Audit-related services includes the annual audit of the Company’s employee benefit plan.

(3) Tax fees consist of fees for services rendered to the Company for tax compliance, tax planning and advice.

(4) The services disclosed under this category for fiscal year 2025 include a comprehensive assessment and study of executive compensation

Pre-Approved Services

The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm based on its detailed description of services expected to be rendered during that fiscal year. The Audit Committee pre-approved all fees associated with the services that Grant Thornton provided in fiscal year 2025. The fees are budgeted and the Audit Committee requires the independent registered public accounting firm to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the fiscal year within each of the four categories of service described below.

Audit Services include audit work performed on the Company’s financial statements, as well as work that generally only the independent auditors can reasonably be expected to provide, including statutory audits, comfort letters, consents and assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC.

Audit-Related Services are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by the independent auditors, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.

Tax Services include all services, except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, performed by the independent auditors’ tax personnel, including tax analysis; assisting with coordination or execution of tax related activities, primarily in the area of corporate development; supporting other tax related regulatory requirements; and tax compliance and reporting.

5

All Other Services are those associated with services not captured in the other categories. Although the Company rarely requests such services from the independent auditors, in fiscal 2025 Grant Thornton assisted with a comprehensive assessment and study of executive compensation at the request of The Board of Directors.

During the fiscal year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval categories. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires specific pre-approval before engaging the independent registered public accounting firm for such additional services.

The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member(s) to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

Vote Required and Board Recommendation

Stockholder ratification of the selection of Grant Thornton as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required by the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) or otherwise. However, the Board is submitting the selection of Grant Thornton to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain Grant Thornton. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the fiscal year if it is determined that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s stockholders. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote is required for the ratification of Grant Thornton as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026.

THE BOARD DEEMS PROPOSAL NO. 2 TO BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COMPANY AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS AND RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL THEREOF.

6

PROPOSAL NO. 3

NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) enables the Company’s stockholders to vote to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s principal executive officer and the other two most highly compensated executive officers (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”) as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with SEC rules.

The Company’s objective is to provide a fair and competitive compensation package to its Named Executive Officers that rewards long-term performance and enhances stockholder value. In order to achieve its goals, the Company is dependent on its ability to attract, retain and motivate individuals who can achieve superior technical, operational and financial results. For an overview of the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, see the “Executive Compensation” section below.

The Company is asking for non-binding approval of the compensation of its Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with SEC rules, which includes the disclosures under the “Executive Compensation” section, the summary compensation table, the related footnotes and the narrative discussion following the summary compensation table. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers and the policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, stockholders are asked to vote “FOR” the following non-binding resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers as described in the “Executive Compensation” section, the summary compensation tables, the related footnotes and the narrative discussion in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.”

While the Company intends to carefully consider the voting results of this proposal, this vote is advisory and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board. Nevertheless, the Board and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of the Company’s stockholders, and to the extent there is any significant vote against the Named Executive Officer compensation as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

The Company currently intends to hold the next non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of its Named Executive Officers at the 2026 Annual Meeting, unless the Board modifies its policy of holding this vote on an annual basis, particularly after considering the results of Proposal No. 4 (Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Holding Future Advisory Votes on Executive Compensation).

Vote Required and Board Recommendation

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote is required for advisory approval of this proposal.

THE BOARD DEEMS PROPOSAL NO. 3 TO BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COMPANY AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS AND RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO THE SEC’S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE RULES.

PROPOSAL NO. 4

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF HOLDING
FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Dodd-Frank Act also enables the Company’s stockholders to vote, on a non-binding advisory basis, on the frequency with which they would prefer to cast a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers.  By voting on this proposal, stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer a non-binding advisory vote on Named Executive Officer compensation once every one, two or three years.  The Company is required at least every six years to hold an advisory vote to determine the frequency of the advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation. The Company held its last vote regarding the frequency of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation in October 2019. In October 2019, 89.9% of the Company’s stockholders supported holding annual advisory votes on executive compensation.

After careful consideration of the frequency alternatives, the Board believes that continuing to conduct a non-binding, advisory vote on executive compensation on an annual basis is appropriate for the Company and its stockholders. Such timing for the advisory vote will ensure our stockholders are engaged in executive officer compensation decisions. Additionally, while the Company’s executive compensation programs are designed to promote a long-term connection between pay and performance, the Board recognizes that awards to the Company’s Named Executive Officers are typically made annually, and improvements to compensation plans are often considered and adopted on an annual basis. Holding an annual advisory vote on executive compensation provides more direct and immediate feedback on the Company’s compensation decisions.  Accordingly, stockholders are asked to vote on the following non-binding resolution, indicating their preference among the choices on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. Stockholders may also abstain from voting.

“RESOLVED, that an advisory vote of the Company’s stockholders to approve on an advisory basis the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers shall be held at an annual meeting of stockholders (i) every year, (ii) every two years, or (iii) every three years.”

While the Company intends to carefully consider the voting results of this proposal, this vote is advisory and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board. Nevertheless, the Board and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of the Company’s stockholders and will consider the vote when determining the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers.

Vote Required and Board Recommendation

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote is required for advisory approval of this proposal.  With respect to this proposal, if none of the frequency alternatives (one year, two years or three years) receives a majority vote, the Company will consider the frequency that receives the highest number of votes by stockholders to be the frequency that has been approved by the Company’s stockholders.  However, because this vote is advisory and not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board, the Board may decide that it is in the best interests of the Company and the stockholders to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option approved by the Company’s stockholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE TO HOLD FUTURE NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTES ON THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS EVERY ONE YEAR (AS OPPOSED TO EVERY TWO YEARS OR EVERY THREE YEARS).

PROPOSALS OF STOCKHOLDERS

In accordance with the rules promulgated by the SEC, any stockholder who wishes to submit a proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, for inclusion in the proxy material to be distributed by the Company in connection with the 2026 Annual Meeting must submit such proposal to the Company no later than April 30, 2026.

In order to nominate a person for election as director or propose any other business other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, notice of a stockholder’s intention to introduce a nomination or other item of business at that meeting must be delivered to the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices no earlier than June 10, 2026, and no later than July 10, 2026, and such stockholders must otherwise comply with the procedures set forth in the Bylaws with respect to such notice. In addition to satisfying the requirements under the Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice to the Company’s Secretary that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act (including a statement that such stockholder intends to solicit the holders of shares representing at least 67% of the voting power of the Company’s shares entitled to vote on the election of directors in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees).The business of the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting shall not include voting on any stockholder nominee or proposal if proper notice as to such nominee or proposal is not properly delivered to the Company in accordance with these deadlines and the Bylaws.

In addition to attendance at Board meetings, the Board encourages, but does not require, all directors to attend annual meetings of the Company’s stockholders. All of the Company’s then serving directors virtually attended the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee consists of the following three independent Directors:  Messrs. Brolin, Lord and Sarachek. Each of these directors is independent in accordance with the independence standards for audit committee membership set forth in Section 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act and the listing standards of NASDAQ, upon which the Company’s Common Stock is listed and trades. The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements. In addition, the Board has determined that Mr. Brolin, chairman of the Audit Committee, satisfies the SEC’s criteria as an “audit committee financial expert.”

The Audit Committee has procedures in place to receive, retain and handle complaints received regarding accounting, internal controls or auditing matters and to allow for the confidential and anonymous submission by anyone of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board by (i) overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company, including the Company’s internal controls, and the audits of the financial statements of the Company, the qualifications and independence of the Company’s independent auditors and the performance of the independent auditors and the Company’s internal audit function, (ii) providing an open avenue of communication among the independent auditors, management and the Board, (iii) reviewing the financial reports and other financial information to be provided by the Company to any governmental body or the public and (iv) preparing a report of the Audit Committee required by the rules and regulations of the SEC to be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement.

The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer recommends to the Compensation Committee base salary, bonus payouts from the short-term incentive pool and long-term incentive grants for the Company’s officers (other than himself or herself) and other eligible employees (see “Executive Compensation” below). For fiscal year 2025, President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. McClelland made recommendations to the Compensation Committee based on input from the Company’s Human Resources Manager using compensation data as described below, as well as qualitative judgments regarding individual performance. The Compensation Committee reviewed and considered Dr. McClelland’s recommendations prior to making its own recommendations to the Board. Dr. McClelland’s was not involved with any aspect of determining his own pay for fiscal year 2025.

In order to assess whether the compensation program that the Company provides to its executive officers is competitive, the Compensation Committee annually reviews a survey prepared by the Company’s management detailing the base salaries, benefits and total compensation amounts awarded to the executive officers of similarly sized public companies (based on market capitalization) in the manufacturing and electronics industry. The Company’s management compiles this survey using publicly available information. The Compensation Committee annually reviews this survey to see how the Company’s compensation program and practices compare to that of its competitors and the companies with which it competes with for executive-level talent. During fiscal year 2025, the Board of Directors engaged Grant Thornton to conduct a comprehensive assessment and study regarding the Company’s executive compensation program.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board believes that it is important to retain flexibility to allocate the responsibilities of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer in a way that it considers to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer are currently held by different persons. The Chairman of the Board is General Lord; whereas, Dr. McClelland serves as President and Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that the current Board structure, including the separation of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

Board Risk Oversight

The Company’s senior management manages the day-to-day risks facing the Company under the oversight and supervision of the Board, which oversees the Company’s risk management strategy, focusing on the adequacy of the Company’s risk management and mitigation processes. The Board’s role in the risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from senior management on areas of material risk, including cybersecurity protections, operational, financial, legal and regulatory risks and strategic and reputational risks. The Board receives these reports to enable it to understand the Company’s risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies. While the entire Board is ultimately responsible for risk oversight at the Company, the Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk in the areas of financial reporting and internal controls. In performing its functions, the Audit Committee has access to management and is able to engage advisors, if deemed necessary. The Board receives regular reports from the Audit Committee regarding its areas of focus.

The Report of the Audit Committee is not to be considered filed with the SEC or incorporated by reference into any other filings which the Company makes with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, nor is this information considered as proxy soliciting material. This portion of this proxy statement is not a part of any of those filings unless otherwise specifically stated in those filings.

The members of the Audit Committee have been appointed by the Board. The Audit Committee is comprised of three non-employee directors, each of whom satisfies the independence standards for audit committee membership set forth in Section 10A(m)(3) of the Exchange Act and the independence requirements of NASDAQ. The Audit Committee is governed by a charter that has been approved and adopted by the Board and which is reviewed and reassessed annually by the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

The Audit Committee reviewed with the independent auditors, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee in accordance with the audit standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”). In addition, management has represented to the Audit Committee that the financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent auditor’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent auditor the independent auditor’s independence.

The Audit Committee discussed with the Company’s independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their audit. The Audit Committee met with the independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examination, their understanding of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting. The Audit Committee held four (4) meetings during fiscal year 2025.

Short-Term Incentive Bonus Programs

The Company maintains short-term incentive bonus programs for certain employees which are based on bookings, revenue, operating income and certain other relevant criteria of the Company or the individual subsidiaries to which the employees are assigned. The Company provides bonus opportunities to certain other employees, including its other Named Executive Officers based on various criteria (see “President and Chief Executive Officer Employment Arrangement,” “Senior Vice President, Business Development Employment Agreement,” and “Chief Financial Officer Employment Arrangement” ). These bonus programs are designed to create incentives for superior performance and to reward certain Company employees for their contributions to the Company’s success. Focused on short-term or annual business results, these bonus programs enable the Company to award designated executives with cash bonuses based on their contributions to the Company. The Board, in its sole discretion, determines the actual amounts paid to the Named Executive Officers pursuant to these bonus programs, if any.

Long-Term Incentives

As part of its comprehensive compensation program, the Company stresses long-term incentives through awards of shares of its Common Stock through the grant of RSUs, PSUs, SARs, stock options and other equity awards through its Stock Award Plan and prior 2005 Stock Award Plan. Grants and awards are aimed at attracting new personnel, recognizing and rewarding current executive officers for special individual accomplishments, and retaining high-performing officers and key employees by linking financial benefit to the performance of the Company (as reflected in the market price of Common Stock) and to continued employment with the Company. Grants of RSUs, PSUs, SARs, stock options and other equity awards are generally determined on an individual-by-individual basis. The factors considered are the individual’s performance and potential for contributing to the Company’s future growth, the number of RSUs, PSUs, SARs, stock options and other equity awards previously granted to the individual and the Company’s financial and operational performance.

16

The Company does not maintain any compensation plans for its executive officers or directors nor for any of its other employees which provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance to occur over a period longer than one fiscal year other than the stock awards granted pursuant to the Company’s Stock Award Plan and prior 2005 Stock Award Plan and the Company’s 401(k) Savings Plan discussed below. The grant date fair market values of the RSU and PSU awards under the Stock Award Plan and prior 2005 Stock Award Plan granted during fiscal year 2025 and 2024 are shown in the Summary Compensation Table above.

Specifically, in fiscal year 2025, the following PSU awards were granted to our Named Executive Officers:

● On July 31, 2024, Dr. McClelland was granted PSUs based upon 50,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and the market value of the Common Stock as of the date of grant. The PSUs vest equally over a four-year period from the date of grant and have performance criteria, based upon consolidated bookings, revenue and operating income. (See “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” below and footnote (7) under “Stock Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” above).

● On July 31, 2024, Mr. Bernstein was granted PSUs based upon 40,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and the market value of the Common Stock as of the date of grant. The PSUs vest equally over a four-year period from the date of grant and have performance criteria, based upon consolidated bookings, revenue and operating income. (See “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” below and footnote (7) under “Stock Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” above).

No RSUs, SARs or stock options were granted during fiscal year 2025 or 2024.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Agreements

The Company has no tax-qualified defined benefit or actuarial retirement plans in effect. It has entered into certain deferred compensation agreements with certain key employees, including its officers, providing for the payment of benefits upon retirement or death or upon the termination of employment not for cause. The Company pays compensation benefits out of its working capital but has also purchased whole or universal life insurance (of which it is the sole beneficiary) on the lives of each of the participants to cover the optional lump sum obligations under the deferred compensation agreements upon the death of the participant. The annual premiums paid during fiscal year 2025 were less than the increase in cash surrender value of the whole and universal life insurance policies.

The deferred compensation for participants in the program is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee. The annual benefit may be increased based upon recent performance, length of service, economic conditions and other factors. The annual benefit to be provided to each of the Named Executive Officers upon his retirement is as follows:

Thomas McClelland, President and Chief Executive Officer		$	85,000
Oleandro Mancini, Senior VP, Business Development		$	85,000
Steven Bernstein, Chief Financial Officer		$	40,000

Such benefits are payable for the remaining life of the individual with a minimum payment over ten years to either the employee or his beneficiaries. Benefits may be paid in a lump sum in the case of a participant’s death, disability or early termination of employment without cause. The change in actuarial value in nonqualified deferred compensation benefits under the deferred compensation agreements for each of the Named Executive Officers is presented in footnote 3 to the Summary Compensation Table above.

Supplemental Separation Benefits

Included in the deferred compensation agreements of certain executive officers and certain key employees are provisions for supplemental separation benefits. Under the agreements, in the event of a change in control or ownership of part or all of the Company which gives rise to discharge of any officer or employee without cause, then such officer or employee will receive supplemental severance pay equal to one and one-half times the employee’s average base salary plus cash bonus from the previous five calendar years prior to the change of control if such discharge occurs in the first year after the change of control. If discharge occurs more than one year but less than two years after the change of control, then the employee will receive two-thirds of the five-year average of base salary and bonus.

Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table

We generally seek to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore do not specifically align our performance criteria with “compensation actually paid” (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) for a particular year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay Versus Performance table.

21

Compensation Actually Paid and TSR

The compensation actually paid to our Principal Executive Officer (and former Principal Executive Officer) and the average amount of compensation actually paid to our non-PEO Named Executive Officers during the periods presented are not directly correlated with TSR. We do utilize several performance criteria to align executive compensation with our performance, but those performance measures, do not include TSR. For example, as described in more detail above in the section “Narrative to Summary Compensation Table – Short-Term Incentive Bonus Program” and “- Long-Term Incentives,” part of the compensation our Named Executive Officers are eligible to receive consists of discretionary annual cash bonuses and long-term equity awards which have performance criteria based upon consolidated bookings, revenue, operating income and certain other metrics designed to provide appropriate incentives to achieve corporate goals and to reward our executives for individual achievement towards these goals. We believe these bonus opportunities and equity awards align our Named Executive Officers’ interests with those of our stockholders by providing a continuing financial incentive to maximize long-term value for our stockholders and by encouraging our Named Executive Officers to continue in our employment for the long-term

Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income (Loss)

From fiscal 2023 to fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, the Company’s net loss reversed from a loss of ($5,501 million) to income of $5,594 million and $12,134 million respectively, however the compensation actually paid for our Principal Executive Officer only increased slightly, as did the average amount of compensation actually paid to our non-PEO Named Executive Officers. Furthermore, these increases were related to the increase in value regarding the outstanding RSU and PSU awards given the Company’s stock price more than doubled from April 2024 to April 2025. Our Named Executive Officers received grants of PSUs in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025. These PSU awards are subject to consolidated Company performance criteria and are intended to incentivize our management (including our Named Executive Officers) to continue improving the Company’s financial performance

Exhibits to the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K are also available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

STOCKHOLDERS SHARING THE SAME ADDRESS

SEC rules permit companies, brokers, banks or other intermediaries to deliver a single copy of a proxy statement and annual report to households at which two or more stockholders reside. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce duplicate mailings and save significant printing and postage costs as well as natural resources. Stockholders sharing an address who have been previously notified by their broker, bank or other intermediary and have consented to householding will receive only one copy of the Company’s Proxy Statement and 2025 Form 10-K.

If you would like to opt out of this practice for future mailings and receive separate proxy statements and annual reports for each stockholder sharing the same address, please contact your broker, bank or other intermediary. You may also obtain a separate Proxy Statement and 2025 Form 10-K without charge by contacting the Company at Frequency Electronics, Inc., 55 Charles Lindbergh Boulevard, Mitchel Field, New York 11553, Attention: Corporate Secretary; (516) 794-4500, extension 2131. We will promptly send additional copies of the Proxy Statement or 2025 Form 10-K. Stockholders sharing an address that are receiving multiple copies of the Proxy Statement and 2025 Form 10-K can request delivery of a single copy of future proxy statements and annual reports by contacting their broker, bank or other intermediary or by contacting the Company as indicated above.

OTHER MATTERS

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the only business which the Board intends to present and knows that others will present at the Annual Meeting is hereinabove set forth. If any other matter or matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying Proxy to vote the Proxy on such matters in accordance with their judgment.
