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, December 19, 2014, and June 15, 2015 (as amended, the "Schedule 13D") filed by Privet Fund LP ("Privet") and Privet Fund Management LLC (collectively, "Privet") and Ryan Levenson ("Levenson" and collectively with Privet, the "Prior 13D Filers") with respect to the Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock") of Frequency Electronics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 4 amends the Schedule 13D to add James Henderson, General Lance Lord and Ben Rosenzweig (collectively, the "Additional 13D Filers" and together with the Prior 13D Filers, the "Reporting Persons") as joint filers and to supplement the Schedule 13D as follows:
Item 2.  Identity and Background.
Item 2 is hereby amended to add the following:
The name, residence or business address, present principal occupation or employment, and address of any organization in which such employment is conducted is set forth below for each of the Additional Filers.

Present Principal Occupation/Employment

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following: 
On July 5, 2016, Privet delivered a letter to the Company's CEO, copying the Board of Directors (the "Board"), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference (the "Nomination Letter").  In the letter Privet expresses its belief that the Company is deeply undervalued and that significant opportunities exist to create value for the benefit of all shareholders based on actions within the control of management and the Board.  Privet questioned the independence and succession plan of the Board, whose members currently have an average tenure at the Company of 27 years and a median age of 80. Privet also expressed its belief that a reconstituted Board is required to drive shareholder value creation.
