<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">On March 30, 2015, Pulse Electronics Corporation,
a Pennsylvania corporation (the &ldquo;<U>Company</U>&rdquo;), received a cash loan in the amount of $8.5 million (the &ldquo;<U>Loan</U>&rdquo;)
from OCM PE Holdings, L.P. a Delaware limited partnership (&ldquo;<U>Parent</U>&rdquo;), in exchange for the issuance by the Company
of a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $8.5 million (the &ldquo;<U>Note</U>&rdquo;) to Parent. The Company issued the Note
pursuant to the previously announced Investment Agreement and Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 28, 2015 (the
&ldquo;<U>Merger Agreement</U>&rdquo;) by and among the Company, Parent, and OCM PE Merger Sub, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation
and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Note bears interest at a rate of 10%
per annum and such interest is payable in arrears on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, commencing
on June 30, 2015, and ending on November 20, 2017 (the &ldquo;<U>Maturity Date</U>&rdquo;, and collectively with the other payment
dates, the &ldquo;<U>Interest Payment Dates</U>&rdquo;). Such interest payments may, at the Company&rsquo;s election, be paid in cash or
&ldquo;paid in kind,&rdquo; with the amount of such &ldquo;paid in kind&rdquo; interest being added to the amount of principal outstanding
under the Note on the applicable Interest Payment Date.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Upon the closing of the merger pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, the Parent is to contribute $17.0 million in cash less the principal amount of the Loan to the Company,
and such contribution, together with the Note, shall be converted (the &ldquo;<U>Conversion</U>&rdquo;) for such number of shares
of the Company&rsquo;s common stock, par value $0.125 per share, as shall be determined by dividing the aggregate investment amount of
$17.0 million (together with accrued interest, dividends or other amounts accrued thereon) by $1.50, subject to the terms set forth
in the Merger Agreement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Unless the Conversion has been effected
prior thereto, amounts of principal under the Note are due on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the acceleration of the maturity
of the Note by Parent following the occurrence of an &ldquo;Event of Default&rdquo; as defined therein. The Note is an unsecured
note, and the obligations under the Note are guaranteed by the Company&rsquo;s domestic subsidiaries on an unsecured basis.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Company is permitted to prepay, without
premium or penalty, all or any portion of the entire principal amount outstanding under the Note at any time on one business day&rsquo;s
notice, provided that, prior to the termination of the Merger Agreement (in accordance with its terms), no such prepayment is permitted
without obtaining Parent&rsquo;s prior written consent.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The full principal amount of the Note, together
with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, is automatically due upon the occurrence of certain specified insolvency-related
&ldquo;Events of Default&rdquo; as defined therein. While any Event of Default exists, the Company is to pay interest on the principal
amount of all outstanding obligations under the Note, as well as on any other amount payable thereunder and not paid when due,
at an interest rate per annum equal to 12%.</P>

Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 30, 2015, Pulse Electronics Corporation,
a Pennsylvania corporation (the "
Company
"), received a cash loan in the amount of $8.5 million (the "
Loan
")
from OCM PE Holdings, L.P. a Delaware limited partnership ("
Parent
"), in exchange for the issuance by the Company
of a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $8.5 million (the "
Note
") to Parent. The Company issued the Note
pursuant to the previously announced Investment Agreement and Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 28, 2015 (the
"
Merger Agreement
") by and among the Company, Parent, and OCM PE Merger Sub, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation
and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.
The Note bears interest at a rate of 10%
per annum and such interest is payable in arrears on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, commencing
on June 30, 2015, and ending on November 20, 2017 (the "
Maturity Date
", and collectively with the other payment
dates, the "
Interest Payment Dates
"). Such interest payments may, at the Company's election, be paid in cash or
"paid in kind," with the amount of such "paid in kind" interest being added to the amount of principal outstanding
under the Note on the applicable Interest Payment Date.
Upon the closing of the merger pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, the Parent is to contribute $17.0 million in cash less the principal amount of the Loan to the Company,
and such contribution, together with the Note, shall be converted (the "
Conversion
") for such number of shares
of the Company's common stock, par value $0.125 per share, as shall be determined by dividing the aggregate investment amount of
$17.0 million (together with accrued interest, dividends or other amounts accrued thereon) by $1.50, subject to the terms set forth
in the Merger Agreement.
Unless the Conversion has been effected
prior thereto, amounts of principal under the Note are due on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the acceleration of the maturity
of the Note by Parent following the occurrence of an "Event of Default" as defined therein. The Note is an unsecured
note, and the obligations under the Note are guaranteed by the Company's domestic subsidiaries on an unsecured basis.
The Company is permitted to prepay, without
premium or penalty, all or any portion of the entire principal amount outstanding under the Note at any time on one business day's
notice, provided that, prior to the termination of the Merger Agreement (in accordance with its terms), no such prepayment is permitted
without obtaining Parent's prior written consent.
The full principal amount of the Note, together
with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, is automatically due upon the occurrence of certain specified insolvency-related
"Events of Default" as defined therein. While any Event of Default exists, the Company is to pay interest on the principal
amount of all outstanding obligations under the Note, as well as on any other amount payable thereunder and not paid when due,
at an interest rate per annum equal to 12%.
The foregoing description of the Note does
not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note, which is filed as
Exhibit
4.1
hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Note has been included to provide shareholders
and other investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the
Company. Any representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Note were made only for purposes of the transaction contemplated
thereby, and, as of the specific dates therein, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such transaction, and may be subject
to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between
the parties in connection with the execution and issuance of the Note. The representations and warranties may have been made for
the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the agreement instead of establishing those matters as facts,
and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to the shareholders
and other investors. Shareholders and other investors should not rely on any representations, warranties and covenants in the Note
as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries
or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date
of the Note, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company's public disclosures.
