Summary of GIGA TRONICS INC

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Unregistered Sale of Equity Securiti

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 19, 2013, Giga-tronics Incorporated (the "Company") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") pursuant to which it agreed to sell 3,424.65 shares of its proposed newly designated Series C Convertible Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock to Alara Capital AVI II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Investor"), an investment vehicle sponsored by Active Value Investors, LLC, for aggregate consideration of $500,000, which is approximately $146.00 per share of Series C Preferred Stock. Each of Active Value Investors, LLC and the Investor has a business address at Parkview Tower, 1150 First Avenue, Suite 600, King of Prussia, PA 19406. The sale was completed on February 25, 2013. Simultaneous with the sale, the Company and the Investor amended an outstanding warrant to purchase common stock and entered into an Investor Rights Agreement, as described in more detail below.

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is initially convertible at the option of the holder into 100 shares of the Company's common stock. The conversion ratio is subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar transactions. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $146.000321. If the Company pays a dividend on its common stock prior to January 1, 2014 or on or after January 1, 2014, it would be required to pay a dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock equal to 110% or 100%, respectively, of the cash dividend that would be payable on the number of shares of common stock into which each share of Series C Preferred Stock is then convertible. The Series C Preferred Stock generally votes together with the common stock and the Company's Series B Convertible Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock on an as-converted to common stock basis, on each matter submitted to the vote or approval of the holders of common stock, and would vote as a separate class with respect to certain actions that adversely affect the rights of the Series C Preferred Stock and on other matters as required by law.

As previously disclosed, in November 2011, the Company, in exchange for approximately $2.2 million in cash, sold to the Investor 9,997 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 848,684 shares of the Company's common stock at the price of $3.30 per share (the "Warrant"). The Warrant became exercisable in full following the approval by the Company's shareholders on February 7, 2012. In the SPA, the Company and the Investor agreed to terminate the Investor's right to acquire 342,465 shares of the 848,684 shares underlying the Warrant. As a result, the Warrant as reissued (the "Amended Warrant") represents the right to acquire 506,219 shares of the Company's common stock at the price of $3.30 per share. The Amended Warrant will expire on August 7, 2014, if and to the extent not exercised earlier.

The Investor beneficially owns approximately 26.9% of the Company's common stock. Because the Amended Warrant decreases the number of shares of common stock that the Investor is entitled to purchase upon exercise the original Warrant by the same number of shares into which the purchased shares of Series C Preferred Stock is initially convertible, the aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock beneficially owned by the Investor did not change as a result of this transaction.

In accordance with the terms of the SPA, the Company and the Investor entered into an Investor Rights Agreement upon the closing of the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock. In the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file certain registration statements for the resale of common stock of the Company that the Investor may acquire upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock.

The foregoing discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of February 19, 2013, and the Certificate of Determination filed as exhibits to the Current Report on Form 8-K previously filed on February 25, 2013, and the Investor Rights Agreement and Amended Warrant filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

On February 26, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the sale of Series C Preferred Stock under the SPA. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 with this report.

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

In connection with the transaction described in Item 1.01, on February 19, 2013, the Company filed with the California Secretary of State a Certificate of Determination for the Series C Preferred Stock, shares of which were first sold on February 25, 2013. Under the Certificate of Determination for the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company's ability to declare or pay dividends or distributions or to repurchase its common or capital stock or other equity securities would be subject to restrictions in the event that the Company fails to declare and pay the required dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock while shares of the Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding. Upon a liquidation or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock would be entitled to a liquidation preference equal to approximately $146.00 per share in preference to the holders of common stock.
