Qualstar Corporation (NASDAQ: QBAK), a manufacturer of data security and archive storage solutions and high efficiency power supplies, is holding its 2014 Annual Shareholder’s Meeting (the “Meeting”) at the Company’s Corporate Headquarters located at 3990-B, Heritage Oak Court, Simi Valley, California on Friday, June 27th, 2014 at 10:00 A.M. (PDT). Qualstar reminds shareholders to fill out the proxy cards that accompany the Amended Proxy Statement, dated June 11, 2014, that include three proposals: (1) election of five directors; (2) shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation; and (3) ratification of the appointment of independent auditors. Copies of the Amended Proxy Statement are available on the Company’s website: www.Qualstar.com. If you have any questions or require any assistance with voting your shares, please contact the Company’s proxy solicitor AST Phoenix Advisors at 6201 15th Avenue, 3rd Floor, Brooklyn, New York 11219 or by telephone at (877) 283-0320. The final results of the shareholder voting are subject to verification by the independent election inspectors and will be filed in a Form 8-K and available on the Company’s website following the Meeting.

As a follow up to Qualstar’s prior announcement that it no longer qualifies for listing on the NASDAQ Global Market, Qualstar has determined that it will transfer its listing to the NASDAQ Capital Market. We believe a listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market will maintain our visibility and shareholder liquidity on a national market. Qualstar believes it meets all the requirements to qualify for the NASDAQ Capital Market.
