Consistent with its fiduciary responsibilities, Anaren's Board of Directors has formed a committee of independent directors (the "Independent Committee"), with full authority to consider all strategic alternatives available to Anaren, to review and evaluate this unsolicited offer, in consultation with its financial and legal advisors. The Independent Committee will determine the course of action that it believes to be in the best interests of Anaren's stockholders, and will communicate any such conclusion to Anaren's stockholders. The Independent Committee will be advised by Moelis & Company LLC and Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc., Dorsey & Whitney, LLP and Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC, as its financial and legal advisors.

Anaren advises its stockholders that they are not being asked to take any action, and they need not take any action, at this time, pending review of the non-binding offer by the Independent Committee.
