Item 5.02 
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b)          On May 15, 2013, Robert U. Roberts retired from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Anaren, Inc. (the “Company”), in accordance with the Company’s mandatory retirement policy for directors.  Mr. Robert’s retirement is not the result of any disagreement with the Company.

(e)          The Company entered into Amendment # 8 to Carl W. Gerst, Jr. Employment Agreement with Carl W. Gerst, Jr. (the “Gerst Amendment”), the Company’s cofounder, Chief Technical Officer and Vice Chairman of the Board, providing for Mr. Gerst’s continued employment through June 30, 2014.  Paragraph 6(a) of the Employment Agreement is also modified by Amendment #8 to provide for the elimination of a “modified single trigger” provision so that prospectively, Change-of-Control benefits provided for in the Employment Agreement are triggered only by a qualifying termination of Mr. Gerst’s employment initiated by the successor Employer.  Mr. Gerst’s base salary will continue at $187,500.  All other terms of the original Employment Agreement, as previously amended, that are in effect at the time of this amendment remained unchanged.

The foregoing description of the Gerst Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Gerst Amendment, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
