The Code of Ethics will also be available on the Company’s website at www.bktechnologies.com.

Item 8.01. Other Events.
 
The 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “2020 Annual Meeting”) will be held on Wednesday, June 24, 2020, at 9:00 a.m., local time, at the Company’s corporate offices at 7100 Technology Drive, West Melbourne, Florida 32904.

The Company intends to hold the 2020 Annual Meeting in person. However, the Company is actively monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) and is sensitive to the public health and travel concerns that the Company’s stockholders may have and the protocols that federal, state, and local governments may impose. In the event it is not possible or advisable to hold the 2020 Annual Meeting in person, the Company will announce alternative arrangements for the meeting as promptly as practicable, which may include postponing or adjourning the meeting or holding the meeting solely by means of remote communication. Please monitor the 2020 Annual Meeting website at www.bktechnologies.com, under the “Investor Relations” tab and then under “Corporate Governance” for updated information. If you are planning to attend the 2020 Annual Meeting, please check the website one week prior to the meeting date. As always, the Company encourages its stockholders to vote their shares prior to the 2020 Annual Meeting.
