Dear Stockholder:

You are cordially invited to attend the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders of BK Technologies Corporation, which we will hold on Thursday, June 20, 2024, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, virtually via webcast from the offices of the Company at 7100 Technology Drive, West Melbourne, Florida 32904.

The annual meeting will be held solely through virtual participation via webcast at https://agm.issuerdirect.com/bkti. Please monitor our annual meeting website at www.bktechnologies.com, under the tab “Investor Relations,” for updated information. As always, we encourage you to vote your shares prior to the annual meeting.

We are pleased to take advantage of Securities and Exchange Commission rules that allow issuers to furnish proxy materials to their stockholders on the Internet. We believe these rules allow us to provide our stockholders with the information they need, while lowering the costs of delivery and reducing the environmental impact of our annual meeting. On or about May 1, 2024, we expect to begin mailing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or E-proxy notice, to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 22, 2024. The E-proxy notice contains instructions for your use of this process, including how to access our proxy statement, proxy card and annual report and how to vote on the Internet. In addition, the E-proxy notice contains instructions on how you may receive a paper copy of the proxy statement, proxy card and annual report or elect to receive your proxy statement, proxy card and annual report over the Internet.

If you are unable to attend the meeting virtually, it is very important that your shares be represented and voted at the annual meeting. You may vote your shares over the Internet as described in the E-proxy notice. Alternatively, if you received a paper copy of the proxy card by mail, please complete, sign, date and promptly return the proxy card in the self-addressed stamped envelope provided. You may also vote by telephone as described in your proxy card. Voting by telephone, over the Internet or by mailing a proxy card will not limit your right to attend the virtual annual meeting and vote your shares during the meeting.

We look forward to participating with you at the meeting.

Sincerely,

/s/ Joshua S. Horowitz

Joshua S. Horowitz

Chairman of the Board of Directors
