This Amendment No. 17 to Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 17”) amends the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on September 3, 2014, as amended (the “Schedule 13D” or this “Statement”), with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.60 per share (the “Common Stock”), of BK Technologies Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”). Each of the Reporting Persons (as defined below) ceased to be a beneficial owner of more than five percent of the shares of Common Stock with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Company, and this Amendment No. 17 constitutes an exit filing for all Reporting Persons. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 17 shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 17, the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The total cost for purchasing the Common Stock reported as owned by the Reporting Persons, including brokerage commissions, was approximately as follows: FGHP, $5,023,775 and BKTH, $4,078,523. The source of these funds was working capital.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The Reporting Persons beneficially own in the aggregate 454,416 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 12.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Each percentage ownership of shares of Common Stock set forth in this Statement is based on 3,525,002 shares of Common Stock reported by the Company as outstanding as of March 1, 2024 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2024.

The following transactions were effected by BKTH since the filing of Amendment No. 16 to this Statement: on January 29, 2024, 13,906 shares were sold at a weighted average price of $12.49 per share; on January 30, 2024, 7,053 shares were sold at a weighted average price of $12.29 per share; on March 14, 2024, 7,068 shares were sold at a weighted average price of $12.58 per share; on March 15, 2024, 2,239 shares were sold at a weighted average price of $12.74 per share; on March 18, 2024, 10,000 shares were sold at a weighted average price of $12.83 per share; and on March 20, 2024, 20,686 shares were sold at a weighted average price of $14.43 per share. The Reporting Persons undertake to provide to the Company, any security holder of the Company, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price. These transactions were effected through the open market.

As a result of the transactions described herein, each of the Reporting Persons no longer owns the shares of Common Stock with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Company. Each of Fundamental Global GP LLC and the general partner of FGFH no longer has voting control with respect to any of the shares of Common Stock held by FGHP; and therefore, pursuant to § 240.13d-3(1), is no longer deemed to be a beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock held by FGHP. Pursuant to its filing, this Amendment No. 17 represents the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and constitutes an exit filing for each of the Reporting Persons.

 

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Reporting Persons have entered into an agreement with respect to the joint filing of this Amendment No. 17, which agreement is set forth on the signature page to this Statement.
