WGNR Wegener Corp (PK)

Wegener Corporation (OTCQB: WGNR) (the "Company"), a provider of equipment for digital signage, television, audio, and data distribution networks worldwide, today announced that it will be terminating its registration as a public company.

The Company's Board of Directors has unanimously determined that termination of the Company's registration as a public company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is in the Company's best interests. The Board reached its determination after a careful analysis of the benefits of public registration versus the significant on-going costs of registration, particularly for smaller registrants such as the Company. Accordingly, the Company will be filing a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on Monday, November 19, 2012. Upon such filing, the Company's duty to file any reports required under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act with the SEC shall be suspended immediately. Official termination of the Company's registration shall take effect 90 days after such filing, or such shorter period as the SEC may determine.

"We are continuing to pursue all booking opportunities as we seek additional financing for the Company," stated Troy Woodbury, President and CEO of Wegener Corporation. "We believe there are good domestic and international opportunities for Wegener products and services in the radio, broadcast television, business networks, and digital signage markets. Our goals are to focus on business opportunities and keep a tight control on expenses as we move forward as a non-reporting company."
