FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                                MOLEX COMPLETES
                       ACQUISITION OF WOODHEAD INDUSTRIES

         Lisle, IL, August 10, 2006 -- Molex Incorporated (Nasdaq: MOLX and
MOLXA) announced today that it has completed the final step in the previously
reported acquisition of Woodhead Industries, Inc. through the merger of a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Molex with Woodhead. As a result of the merger,
Woodhead is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Molex. The merger followed the
recently-completed tender offer by Molex.

         At the time of the merger, Molex owned over 90% of the outstanding
shares of common stock of Woodhead Industries, Inc. In the merger, each share
of Woodhead's outstanding common stock was cancelled and (except for shares
held by Molex, its subsidiaries or stockholders properly exercising statutory
appraisal rights under Delaware law) converted into the right to receive $19.25
per share (the price paid in the tender offer), net to the seller in cash,
without interest and less any required withholding taxes.

         Woodhead's common stock has ceased to be traded on the Nasdaq Global
Select Market. Information will be mailed to former Woodhead stockholders who
did not tender their shares into the offer explaining the steps to be taken to
obtain the merger consideration or exercise statutory appraisal rights under
Delaware law.
