As previously reported, effective November 27, 2012, David M.

In connection with these matters, the Registrant and Mr. Young have since entered into a Mutual General Release, effective December 25, 2012, setting forth the final financial terms of Mr. Young's severance, and providing for a mutual release.  Pursuant thereto, on or before December 28, 2012, Mr. Young will be paid 1.65 times his base salary, or $499,125, and the sum of $102,424, as the prorated amount of any Value Share incentive compensation due for the current fiscal year.  Payments will be made less applicable withholding.  Among other things, the Mutual General Release also confirms receipt by Mr. Young of 30,563 shares of common stock distributable to him in respect of previously earned Performance Shares, and confirms the benefits available to him under COBRA.  The obligations of Mr. Young under the Severance and Restrictive Covenant Agreement survive, including the 2-year covenant not to compete set forth in Section 4 thereof.
 
The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Mutual General Release and the Severance and Restrictive Covenant Agreement.  A copy of the Mutual General Release is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Information presented in this Current Report on Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements and certain assumptions upon which such forward-looking statements are in part based. Numerous important factors, including those factors identified in the TESSCO Technologies Incorporated Annual Report on Form 10-K and other of the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the fact that the assumptions set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K could prove incorrect, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements.
