&#147;<U>BCL</U>&#148;) provide that a business corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation,
such indemnification is limited to expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses that the court deems proper. </P>

shareholders of Mine Safety Appliances Company, predecessor of the Company, at their Annual Meeting held on April&nbsp;24, 1987. Pursuant to its reorganization into a holding company organizational structure in 2014, the Registrant&#146;s Articles
of Incorporation are identical to those of its predecessor. Article 14th provides that, to the fullest extent allowed by the BCL, no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable for monetary damages as such for any action taken, or any
failure to take any action, as a director. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">3. <I>Indemnification Bylaw.</I> Section&nbsp;7.01 of the Registrant&#146;s
Bylaws (the &#147;<U>Indemnification Bylaw</U>&#148;) was adopted by the shareholders of Mine Safety Appliances Company, predecessor of the Company, at their Annual Meeting held on April&nbsp;24, 1987. Pursuant to its reorganization into a holding
company organizational structure in 2014, the Company&#146;s Bylaws are identical to those of its predecessor. Under the Indemnification Bylaw, except as prohibited by law, every director and officer of the Registrant is entitled as of right to be
indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any actual or threatened claim or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, whether brought by or in the right of the
Registrant or otherwise, in which the director or officer may be involved in any manner, by reason of his or her being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant or by reason of the fact that he or she is or was serving at the request of
the Registrant as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or other representative of another corporation or other entity. In an action brought by a director or officer against the Registrant, the director or officer is only entitled to
indemnification for expenses in certain circumstances. Each director and officer is also entitled as of right to have his or her expenses in defending an action paid in advance by the Registrant prior to final disposition of the action, subject to
any obligation which may be imposed to reimburse the Registrant in certain events. The Indemnification Bylaw establishes a procedure whereby a director or officer may bring an action against the Registrant if a written claim for indemnification or
advancement of expenses is not paid by the Registrant in full within thirty days after the claim has been presented. The director or officer is also entitled to advancement of expenses in this proceeding. The only defense to an action to recover a
claim for indemnification is that the indemnitee&#146;s conduct was such that under Pennsylvania law the Registrant is prohibited from indemnifying the indemnitee. The only defense to an action to recover payment of expenses in advance is failure by
the indemnitee to make an undertaking to reimburse the Registrant if such an undertaking is required. In addition, Section&nbsp;7.02 of the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws, like Article 14th of the Registrant&#146;s Articles of Incorporation, provides
that, to the fullest extent allowed by the BCL, no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable for monetary damages as such for any action taken, or any failure to take any action, as a director. </P>

its directors and officers with respect to liability which they may incur in connection with their serving as such, which liability could include liability under the Securities Act of 1933. Under the insurance, the Registrant is entitled to
reimbursement for amounts as to which the directors and officers are indemnified under the Indemnification Bylaw. The insurance may also provide certain additional coverage for the directors and officers against certain liability even though such
liability is not subject to indemnification under the Indemnification Bylaw. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">5. <I>Indemnification Agreements.</I> At
their Annual Meeting held on April&nbsp;24, 1987, the shareholders of Mine Safety Appliances Company, predecessor of the Company, also approved a proposed form of Indemnification Agreement to be entered into between the Registrant and each of its
present and future directors and such other officers, employees and agents of the Registrant and its subsidiaries as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The form of agreement provides essentially the same rights to indemnification against liabilities and expenses as are provided
in the Indemnification Bylaw. In addition, the form of agreement requires the Registrant to either maintain the liability insurance coverage currently in effect for the benefit of the contractee or to hold the contractee harmless to the full extent
of such coverage. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Further, the form of agreement provides that if the full indemnification claimed by the contractee may
not be paid by the Registrant because prohibited by law and the Registrant is jointly liable with the contractee as to the matter for which indemnification was sought (or would be so liable if the Registrant were joined in such matter), the
contractee has a right to contribution from the Registrant for the amount of any expenses and liabilities incurred by the contractee as to such matter based on the relative benefits received by the Registrant and the contractee from the transaction
from which the liability arose and the relative fault of the Registrant (including the Registrant&#146;s other directors, officers, employees or agents) and the contractee in connection with the events which resulted in such expenses or liability,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Under the form of agreement, a contractee is entitled to the
rights to indemnification for expenses and liability, advancement of expenses and contribution provided by the agreement notwithstanding any amendment or repeal of the Indemnification Bylaw. In addition, although a change in law restricting
indemnification rights would automatically restrict the indemnification rights provided under the Indemnification Bylaw, the form of agreement provides that a change in law restricting indemnification rights will not affect the rights of a
contractee under the agreement unless the law so requires. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Item&#8201;7. Exemption From Registration Claimed. </B></P>

offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in

under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P>

1.
Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law.
Sections 1741 and 1742 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (the
"
BCL
") provide that a business corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation,
such indemnification is limited to expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses that the court deems proper.
BCL Section 1744 provides that, unless ordered by a court, any indemnification referred to above shall be made by the
corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct. Such determination shall be made:
(1)
by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the
proceeding; or
(2)
if such a quorum is not obtainable, or if obtainable and a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested
directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
(3)
by the shareholders.
Notwithstanding the above, BCL Section 1743 provides that to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a
business corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
BCL Section 1745 provides that expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer, director, employee or agent of a business corporation in defending any proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
3
BCL Section 1746 provides that the indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the foregoing provisions is not exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, and
that indemnification may be granted under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise for any action taken or any failure to take any action whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the
person under any other provision of law and whether or not the indemnified liability arises or arose from any action by or in the right of the corporation, provided, however, that no indemnification may be made in any case where the act or failure
to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.
BCL Section 1747 permits a Pennsylvania business corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person
who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against any liability asserted
against such person and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the provisions described above.
2.
Articles of Incorporation.
Article 14th of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation was adopted by the
shareholders of Mine Safety Appliances Company, predecessor of the Company, at their Annual Meeting held on April 24, 1987. Pursuant to its reorganization into a holding company organizational structure in 2014, the Registrant's Articles
of Incorporation are identical to those of its predecessor. Article 14th provides that, to the fullest extent allowed by the BCL, no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable for monetary damages as such for any action taken, or any
failure to take any action, as a director.
3.
Indemnification Bylaw.
Section 7.01 of the Registrant's
Bylaws (the "
Indemnification Bylaw
") was adopted by the shareholders of Mine Safety Appliances Company, predecessor of the Company, at their Annual Meeting held on April 24, 1987. Pursuant to its reorganization into a holding
company organizational structure in 2014, the Company's Bylaws are identical to those of its predecessor. Under the Indemnification Bylaw, except as prohibited by law, every director and officer of the Registrant is entitled as of right to be
indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any actual or threatened claim or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, whether brought by or in the right of the
Registrant or otherwise, in which the director or officer may be involved in any manner, by reason of his or her being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant or by reason of the fact that he or she is or was serving at the request of
the Registrant as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or other representative of another corporation or other entity. In an action brought by a director or officer against the Registrant, the director or officer is only entitled to
indemnification for expenses in certain circumstances. Each director and officer is also entitled as of right to have his or her expenses in defending an action paid in advance by the Registrant prior to final disposition of the action, subject to
any obligation which may be imposed to reimburse the Registrant in certain events. The Indemnification Bylaw establishes a procedure whereby a director or officer may bring an action against the Registrant if a written claim for indemnification or
advancement of expenses is not paid by the Registrant in full within thirty days after the claim has been presented. The director or officer is also entitled to advancement of expenses in this proceeding. The only defense to an action to recover a
claim for indemnification is that the indemnitee's conduct was such that under Pennsylvania law the Registrant is prohibited from indemnifying the indemnitee. The only defense to an action to recover payment of expenses in advance is failure by
the indemnitee to make an undertaking to reimburse the Registrant if such an undertaking is required. In addition, Section 7.02 of the Registrant's Bylaws, like Article 14th of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, provides
that, to the fullest extent allowed by the BCL, no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable for monetary damages as such for any action taken, or any failure to take any action, as a director.
4
Any amendment or repeal of the Indemnification Bylaw will operate
prospectively only and will not affect any action taken, or failure to act, by a director or officer prior to the adoption of such amendment or repeal.
4.
Director and Officer Liability Insurance.
The Registrant maintains director and officer liability insurance covering
its directors and officers with respect to liability which they may incur in connection with their serving as such, which liability could include liability under the Securities Act of 1933. Under the insurance, the Registrant is entitled to
reimbursement for amounts as to which the directors and officers are indemnified under the Indemnification Bylaw. The insurance may also provide certain additional coverage for the directors and officers against certain liability even though such
liability is not subject to indemnification under the Indemnification Bylaw.
5.
Indemnification Agreements.
At
their Annual Meeting held on April 24, 1987, the shareholders of Mine Safety Appliances Company, predecessor of the Company, also approved a proposed form of Indemnification Agreement to be entered into between the Registrant and each of its
present and future directors and such other officers, employees and agents of the Registrant and its subsidiaries as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors.
The form of agreement provides essentially the same rights to indemnification against liabilities and expenses as are provided
in the Indemnification Bylaw. In addition, the form of agreement requires the Registrant to either maintain the liability insurance coverage currently in effect for the benefit of the contractee or to hold the contractee harmless to the full extent
of such coverage.
Further, the form of agreement provides that if the full indemnification claimed by the contractee may
not be paid by the Registrant because prohibited by law and the Registrant is jointly liable with the contractee as to the matter for which indemnification was sought (or would be so liable if the Registrant were joined in such matter), the
contractee has a right to contribution from the Registrant for the amount of any expenses and liabilities incurred by the contractee as to such matter based on the relative benefits received by the Registrant and the contractee from the transaction
from which the liability arose and the relative fault of the Registrant (including the Registrant's other directors, officers, employees or agents) and the contractee in connection with the events which resulted in such expenses or liability,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
Under the form of agreement, a contractee is entitled to the
rights to indemnification for expenses and liability, advancement of expenses and contribution provided by the agreement notwithstanding any amendment or repeal of the Indemnification Bylaw. In addition, although a change in law restricting
indemnification rights would automatically restrict the indemnification rights provided under the Indemnification Bylaw, the form of agreement provides that a change in law restricting indemnification rights will not affect the rights of a
contractee under the agreement unless the law so requires.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
i. To include any
prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
ii. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement.
iii. To include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
Provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on
Form S-8 and
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
