Park Electrochemical Corp. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) entered into a five-year revolving credit facility agreement with PNC Bank,
National Association. The credit facility agreement provides for loans of up to $52 million to the Company and letters of credit
up to $2 million for the account of the Company and, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, an interest rate on
the outstanding loan balance of LIBOR plus 1.15%. Other interest rate options are available to the Company under the credit agreement.
The Company intends to use substantially all of the funds borrowed under this credit facility to finance the payment of the special
dividend described in Item 8.01 of this Report.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Company expects
that this dividend will not be treated as a taxable dividend for Federal income tax purposes. As explained in the Company&rsquo;s
December 18, 2012 announcement of its regular cash dividend payable February 4, 2013 to holders of record on January 4, 2013, the
Company&rsquo;s cash dividends are treated as taxable dividends to the extent of the Company&rsquo;s current or accumulated earnings
and profits in the United States (computed using U.S. Federal income tax principles), with any amount in excess of such current
or accumulated earnings and profits treated as a non-taxable return of capital, to the extent of the shareholder&rsquo;s adjusted
tax basis in the holder&rsquo;s shares, and with any amount in excess of such current or accumulated earnings and profits and the
holder&rsquo;s adjusted tax basis treated as a capital gain. Distributions treated as returns of capital generally reduce the basis
in the shares on which the distributions were made, unless the basis is lower than the amount of the distributions in which case
the amount by which the distributions exceed the basis is capital gain. As a result, this special dividend will be treated as a
long-term capital gain for shareholders with zero-basis stock (including zero-basis founders&rsquo; stock), and such shareholders
will not be able to treat this dividend as a non-taxable return of capital for Federal income tax purposes.</P>

Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 30, 2013,
Park Electrochemical Corp. (the "Company") entered into a five-year revolving credit facility agreement with PNC Bank,
National Association. The credit facility agreement provides for loans of up to $52 million to the Company and letters of credit
up to $2 million for the account of the Company and, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, an interest rate on
the outstanding loan balance of LIBOR plus 1.15%. Other interest rate options are available to the Company under the credit agreement.
The Company intends to use substantially all of the funds borrowed under this credit facility to finance the payment of the special
dividend described in Item 8.01 of this Report.
The Company issued
a news release on January 31, 2013 announcing the revolving credit agreement and the special cash dividend described in Item 8.01
of this Report.
Item 8.01.
Other Events.
On January 31, 2013,
the Board of Directors of the Company declared a special cash dividend of $2.50 per share payable February 26, 2013 to shareholders
of record at the close of business on February 12, 2013.
The Company intends
to use substantially all of the funds borrowed under the credit facility described in Item 1.01 of this Report to finance the payment
of the special dividend.
The Company expects
that this dividend will not be treated as a taxable dividend for Federal income tax purposes. As explained in the Company's
December 18, 2012 announcement of its regular cash dividend payable February 4, 2013 to holders of record on January 4, 2013, the
Company's cash dividends are treated as taxable dividends to the extent of the Company's current or accumulated earnings
and profits in the United States (computed using U.S. Federal income tax principles), with any amount in excess of such current
or accumulated earnings and profits treated as a non-taxable return of capital, to the extent of the shareholder's adjusted
tax basis in the holder's shares, and with any amount in excess of such current or accumulated earnings and profits and the
holder's adjusted tax basis treated as a capital gain. Distributions treated as returns of capital generally reduce the basis
in the shares on which the distributions were made, unless the basis is lower than the amount of the distributions in which case
the amount by which the distributions exceed the basis is capital gain. As a result, this special dividend will be treated as a
long-term capital gain for shareholders with zero-basis stock (including zero-basis founders' stock), and such shareholders
will not be able to treat this dividend as a non-taxable return of capital for Federal income tax purposes.
The Company issued
a news release on January 31, 2013 announcing the special cash dividend and the revolving credit agreement described in Item 1.01
of this Report.
