Astronics Corporation (Nasdaq: ATRO), a leading provider of advanced technologies for global aerospace, defense, and other mission critical industries, announced today that it has filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The filing of the shelf registration statement is intended to provide the Company with greater financial flexibility to access the capital markets in the future through the sale of securities if it becomes advantageous for the Company and its shareholders.

The shelf registration statement on Form S-3 has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. The securities to be registered on the Form S-3 may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the Form S-3 registration statement becomes effective. If and when the shelf registration is declared effective, it will permit the Company to offer and sell, from time to time in one or more offerings, up to $150 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants to purchase any of these securities, rights to purchase common stock, preferred stock or debt securities, stock purchase contracts, units or any combination of such securities. Any offering of securities under the registration statement will be made only by means of a prospectus supplement related to such offering and the accompanying prospectus included in the shelf registration. Astronics currently expects that the net proceeds of any such future offerings of securities pursuant to the shelf registration statement would be used for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, organic strategic initiatives and reducing debt as well as general working capital needs.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
