  On July 25, 2014, Bel Fuse Inc., a New Jersey corporation ("Bel" or the "Company"), completed its acquisition of the Emerson Network Power Connectivity Solutions business from Emerson Electric Co.

Bel paid approximately $98 million in cash, on a cash and debt-free basis.  The Connectivity Solutions business is headquartered in Bannockburn, Illinois, and has manufacturing facilities in North America, the U.K. and China (the China portion of the transaction is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2014). The Agreement was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Bel's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 22, 2014, and is incorporated herein by reference.  A copy of the press release announcing the closing of the acquisition is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.

  The principal portion of the purchase price for the acquisition described in Item 2.01 above was funded pursuant to the senior Credit and Security Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), among Bel, KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, swing line lender and issuing lender, and the other lenders identified therein.  The principal terms of the Credit Agreement were described in Bel's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 24, 2014 and July 7, 2014.
