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, June 15, 2015, and July 5, 2016 (as amended, the “ Schedule 13D ”) filed by Privet Fund LP and Privet Fund Management LLC (collectively, “ Privet ”), Ryan Levenson (“ Levenson ”), James Henderson (“ Henderson ”), General Lance Lord (“ Lord ”) and Ben Rosenzweig (“ Rosenzweig ” and collectively with Privet, Levenson, Henderson and Lord, the “ Reporting Persons ”) 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. The Reporting Persons hereby amend and supplement the Schedule 13D as follows:

ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a group pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b) as a result of entering into a Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement as previously described and filed as an exhibit to the Schedule 13D. If the Reporting Persons are deemed to have formed a group, the Reporting Persons could be deemed to beneficially own the shares collectively held by the group, which would be an aggregate 1,005,461 shares or 11.5% of the Common Stock of the Company; however, each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by other members of the group except as expressly set forth herein.

The aggregate purchase price of the 1,005,461 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is approximately $10,430,997.74, not including brokerage commissions, which was funded with partnership funds of Privet Fund LP and with assets under separately managed accounts with Privet Fund Management LLC. Privet Fund LP effects purchases of securities primarily through margin accounts maintained for it with prime brokers, which may extend margin credit to it as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and the prime brokers’ credit policies.

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(a) As of the date of this filing, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 1,005,461 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 11.5% of the outstanding Common Stock ( calculated based on information included in the Form 10-Q filed by the Corporation for the calendar quarter ended January 31, 2016, which reported that 8,729,682 shares of Common Stock were outstanding as of March 11, 2016).
