Pulse Electronics Announces Initiative to Reduce Costs Through Voluntary NYSE Delisting and SEC Deregistration

Pulse (News - Alert) Electronics Corporation ("Pulse Electronics") (NYSE: PULS), a leading provider of electronics components, announced today that it has submitted written notice to the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") of its decision to voluntarily delist its common stock from the NYSE and to deregister its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). After careful consideration, Pulse Electronics' board of directors decided to delist from the NYSE and deregister its common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC (News - Alert)") as it believes that the savings that will benefit the company and its shareholders outweigh the advantages of continuing as a NYSE listed and SEC reporting company. Without the annual accounting and legal costs and administrative burdens associated with SEC reporting obligations and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Pulse Electronics believes it will be able to reduce its costs while still maintaining appropriate financial controls. Pulse Electronics further believes that these changes will provide for greater operational efficiencies that will allow the company to better focus on its business.

The company intends to file a Form 25 with the SEC to voluntarily delist its common stock on or about October 6, 2014. Delisting from the NYSE is expected to become effective 10 days after the filing date of the Form 25. Following delisting and provided that Pulse Electronics continues to meet the applicable legal requirements, it intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC on or about October 16, 2014 to terminate the registration of its common stock under the Exchange Act. Pulse Electronics expects the termination of registration under the Exchange Act will become effective 90 days after the date of the filing of the Form 15 with the SEC. In the event the NYSE or the SEC delays or denies the company's delisting or deregistration, following the effective date of delisting, or the withdrawal of registration under Section 12(b) is delayed by the SEC, the company will file, within 60 days of such delay or denial, any reports and forms with the SEC that would have been required.

After its shares have been delisted from the NYSE, Pulse Electronics expects that its shares may be quoted on the OTC Markets Inc. electronic quotation service if market makers commit to make a market in the companys shares. The OTC Markets is an electronic network through which participating broker-dealers can make markets and enter orders to buy and sell shares of issuers. However, Pulse Electronics can provide no assurance that trading in its common stock will continue on the OTC Markets or otherwise. Moreover, Pulse Electronics common stock may become more illiquid once it is no longer traded on the NYSE, which could negatively impact market prices for the company's stock and make it more difficult for shareholders to sell their shares.
