                                 PROXY STATEMENT

                             STEEL PARTNERS II, L.P.

                            -------------------------

          PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND MAIL THE ENCLOSED GOLD PROXY CARD TODAY


            Steel  Partners  II, L.P.  ("Steel")  together  with  certain of its
affiliates is the largest  stockholder of Del Global  Technologies  Corp., a New
York  corporation  ("Del Global" or the  "Company").  Steel is writing to you in
connection  with  the  election  of  three  nominees  to Del  Global's  Board of
Directors at the annual  meeting of  stockholders  scheduled to be held at 10:00
A.M.  (local  time),  on Wednesday,  May 14, 2003,  at the Hilton Rye Town,  699
Westchester  Avenue,  Rye Brook,  New York 10573,  including any adjournments or
postponements  thereof and any meeting  which may be called in lieu thereof (the
"Annual  Meeting").  Steel has  nominated  three  directors in opposition to Del
Global's  incumbent  directors,  whose terms  expire at the Annual  Meeting.  As
further  described  herein,  Steel  believes  that the Board of Directors of Del
Global  (the  "Del  Global  Board")  must be held  accountable  for the  serious
concerns that currently surround Del Global,  including poor financial and stock
price  performance,   distracting  government  investigations  and  other  legal
proceedings  and the  deterioration  of investor  confidence in the Company.  As
further described herein,  Steel believes that a more thorough  investigation of
strategic alternatives,  improved corporate governance policies and maximization
of  stockholder  value will be best  achieved  through  the  election of Steel's
nominees.  There can be no guaranty  that the election of Steel's  nominees will
maximize or otherwise enhance stockholder value or improve corporate governance.

            This proxy  statement (the "Proxy  Statement") and the enclosed GOLD
proxy  card are  being  furnished  to  stockholders  of Del  Global  by Steel in
connection with the solicitation of proxies from Del Global's stockholders to be
used at the Annual Meeting to elect Steel's nominees, David W. Wright, Gerald M.
Czarnecki  and Suzanne M. Hopgood  (the  "Nominees"),  to the Del Global  Board.
Steel, Warren G. Lichtenstein, WebFinancial Corporation ("WebFinancial"),  Henry
Partners, L.P. ("Henry Partners"),  Matthew Partners, L.P. ("Matthew Partners"),
Henry Investment Trust, L.P. ("Henry Investment Trust"), Canine Partners, L.L.C.
("Canine Partners"), David W. Wright, Gerald M. Czarnecki and Suzanne M. Hopgood
are  members of a group (the  "Group")  formed in  opposition  to the Del Global
Board  at  the  Annual  Meeting  and  are  deemed  participants  in  this  proxy






solicitation.  See "Participant  Information." This Proxy Statement and the GOLD
proxy card are first being  furnished to Del Global's  stockholders  on or about
April __, 2003.

            Del  Global  has set the record  date for  determining  stockholders
entitled  to notice of and to vote at the Annual  Meeting as March 26, 2003 (the
"Record Date"). The principal executive offices of Del Global are located at One
Commerce Park, Valhalla, New York 10595.  Stockholders of record at the close of
business  on the Record  Date will be  entitled  to vote at the Annual  Meeting.
According to Del Global,  as of the Record Date, there were 10,332,548 shares of
common stock, $.10 par value per share (the "Shares"),  outstanding and entitled
to vote at the Annual Meeting. Steel, along with all of the participants in this
solicitation,  are the  beneficial  owners of an aggregate of 1,942,460  Shares,
which  represents  approximately  18.7%  of the  Shares  outstanding  (based  on
information  publicly  disclosed  by  Del  Global).  The  participants  in  this
solicitation intend to vote such Shares for the election of the Nominees.

THIS  SOLICITATION  IS BEING  MADE BY STEEL  AND NOT ON  BEHALF  OF THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS OR MANAGEMENT  OF DEL GLOBAL.  STEEL IS NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER MATTERS
TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE ANNUAL MEETING OTHER THAN THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY'S
2003  EQUITY  INCENTIVE  PLAN AND THE  RATIFICATION  OF THE  APPOINTMENT  OF THE
COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS.  SHOULD OTHER MATTERS,  WHICH STEEL IS
NOT AWARE OF A REASONABLE TIME BEFORE THIS  SOLICITATION,  BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE
ANNUAL  MEETING,  THE PERSONS  NAMED AS PROXIES IN THE ENCLOSED  GOLD PROXY CARD
WILL VOTE ON SUCH MATTERS IN THEIR DISCRETION.



STEEL  URGES YOU TO SIGN,  DATE AND  RETURN  THE GOLD PROXY CARD IN FAVOR OF THE
ELECTION OF ITS NOMINEES DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SENT A PROXY CARD FURNISHED BY DEL GLOBAL  MANAGEMENT TO THE
DEL GLOBAL BOARD, YOU MAY REVOKE THAT PROXY AND VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF STEEL'S

PROPOSAL NO. I - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS BY HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK


REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION

            We are asking you to support our Nominees so as to:

            O  ELECT  NOMINEES  WHO WILL SUPPORT  ACTIONS THAT WE BELIEVE  WOULD
               IMPROVE THE  FINANCIAL  RESULTS AND  CORPORATE  GOVERNANCE OF THE
               COMPANY;

            O  ELECT NOMINEES WHO WILL PROMOTE  INTEGRITY AND  ACCOUNTABILITY AT
               THE BOARD LEVEL AND FROM MANAGEMENT;

            O  ELECT NOMINEES WHO WILL SUPPORT ACTIONS THAT THE NOMINEES BELIEVE
               WOULD GIVE STOCKHOLDERS THE GREATEST  OPPORTUNITY TO MAXIMIZE THE
               VALUE OF THEIR SHARES; AND


            O  ELECT  INDEPENDENT  DIRECTORS  WHO HAVE NO  AFFILIATION  WITH THE
               CURRENT DEL GLOBAL BOARD AND MANAGEMENT.


            As further described below,  Steel believes that the election of the
Nominees represents the best means for Del Global's stockholders to maximize the
value of their  Shares.  Steel and certain  participants  in this  solicitation,
together, the largest stockholder group of Del Global, have a vested interest in
the maximization of the value of the Shares. Additionally, Steel's Nominees have
extensive experience in private and public investment,  corporate governance and
business  management.  If  elected  to the Board,  the  Nominees  will use their
experience  to oversee the Company  under  current  management  with the goal of
achieving consistent profitability while exploring all available alternatives to
maximize  stockholder  value. There can be no assurance that the election of our
nominees  will  maximize  or  otherwise  enhance  stockholder  value or  improve
corporate governance.

DEL GLOBAL NEEDS TO IMPROVE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

WE BELIEVE THAT THE DEL GLOBAL BOARD MUST BE HELD  ACCOUNTABLE  FOR  FUNDAMENTAL
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE FLAWS AND DEFICIENCIES THAT SURROUND DEL GLOBAL,  INCLUDING
THEIR FAILURE TO HOLD AN ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS IN OVER THREE YEARS.

            We believe that proper corporate governance procedures and practices
and the level of management accountability that the Del Global Board imposes are
highly  relevant  to Del  Global's  financial  performance.  In view of sweeping
legislation enacted by Congress including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the
rules being adopted by the major stock  exchanges  which are  promoting  greater
accountability  to  stockholders,  we  believe  that the  state of Del  Global's
corporate  governance is inadequate.  The Company has sidestepped the most basic
corporate governance practices, as set forth below.

                                      -4-




            o   DEL GLOBAL HAS NOT HELD AN ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS  SINCE
                FEBRUARY  10,  2000.  Remarkably,  for  over  three  years,  the
                incumbent directors have appointed new directors to the Board at
                their sole discretion rather than giving the  stockholders,  the
                true owners of the Company,  the  opportunity  to exercise their
                right to  democratically  install  new  directors  or to vote on
                other business proposals.


            o   DEL GLOBAL  ONLY  RECENTLY  FORMED A  NOMINATING  AND  CORPORATE
                GOVERNANCE  COMMITTEE.  On March 26, 2003,  Steel  nominated the
                Nominees. Unlike many public companies, Del Global did not until
                April 2003 have a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee,
                the customary functions of which is to identify and recommend to
                the board of directors qualified director nominees and to assist
                the board of directors in developing  and  recommending a set of
                effective corporate governance policies and procedures.


            o   DEL  GLOBAL'S  POISON PILL  ENTRENCHES  THE DEL GLOBAL BOARD AND
                MANAGEMENT.  Del Global has a poison pill. We believe the poison
                pill has the  effect of  entrenching  the Del  Global  Board and
                management.   In  our   opinion,   this   lack   of   management
                accountability  to stockholders  adversely  affects  stockholder
                value.


            We believe  that Del Global  stockholders  deserve a higher level of
accountability,   given  Del  Global's  recent  financial  performance.  We  are
therefore committed to seeking corporate governance reforms. In Steel's opinion,
the Company's  failure to hold an annual meeting of  stockholders  in over three
years has had the effect of entrenching incumbent directors and disenfranchising
stockholders.  Moreover,  we  believe  the Del  Global  Board  has been  slow to
implement certain progressive  corporate governance reforms, as evidenced by its
failure to create a Nominating and Corporate  Governance  Committee  until April
2003,  which we believe could have curbed  excessive  director  compensation and
numerous  conflicts among certain directors and executive  officers as described
in greater detail below.


Independence of Directors:
--------------------------

            We  believe  that the Del  Global  Board  should be  comprised  of a
majority of independent  directors who have no affiliation  with the current Del
Global management and the Del Global Board.

            We believe that the Nominees  would be truly  independent  directors
and are committed to representing  the interests of all the  stockholders of Del
Global.  The Nominees and their  affiliates have not entered into any agreements
to provide  professional or other services to Del Global and have no interest in
Del Global except for their interests that may arise from being  stockholders of
Del Global.

                                      -5-





            We believe that for  independent  directors to serve as an effective
check on management,  independent  directors should meet at regularly  scheduled
executive sessions,  without the presence of management.  This facilitates frank
and open discussion  among  independent  directors.  Regular  scheduling of such
meetings would not only promote more effective  communication  among independent
directors,  but would avoid any negative  inference that might be drawn from the
sessions  themselves.  Finally, we believe that Del Global should make prominent
disclosure in its public  filings of a means by which  interested  parties could
communicate with independent directors.

Redemption of Poison Pill:
--------------------------

            If the Nominees  are elected,  they also will use their best efforts
to cause the Del Global Board to terminate Del Global's poison pill by redeeming
all of the outstanding rights under Del Global's poison pill and filing evidence
of such  redemption  with the rights agent.  Historically,  proponents of poison
pills  have  asserted  that they  enable a board of  directors  to respond in an
orderly  fashion to unsolicited  takeover bids by providing  sufficient  time to
carefully  evaluate the  fairness of such a bid. We oppose Del  Global's  poison
pill because we believe that it places such an effective  obstacle to a takeover
bid that it serves to entrench the Del Global Board and  management.  We believe
that Del Global's  poison pill forces a would-be  acquirer to negotiate  its bid
for Del Global  with  management,  instead of making its offer  directly  to the
stockholders  of Del Global.  In our opinion,  the power of the Del Global Board
and  management  to block any bid that does not leave them in control  adversely
affects  stockholder  value.  We further believe that the effect of their poison
pill is to  insulate  management  from the most  fundamental  accountability  to
stockholders  by providing  management and the Del Global Board with a veto over
takeover bids, even when stockholders might favorably view such bids.


            The  Company  adopted a Rights  Agreement  governing  the  Company's
poison pill in  September  2001  pursuant to which it declared a dividend of one
common share  purchase  right for each  outstanding  share of its common  stock.
Under the Rights  Agreement,  each share of the  Company's  common  stock issued
after adoption of the Rights  Agreement will include an associated  right.  Each
right  entitles the  registered  holder to purchase  one share of the  Company's
common  stock  at an  exercise  price  of $25  per  share.  The  rights  are not
exercisable until the earlier of (i) 10 business days after a person or group of
affiliated or associated  persons - referred to as an acquiring  person - (other
than those exempted in the Rights Agreement) has acquired  beneficial  ownership
of 20% or  more of the  Company's  common  stock  then  outstanding,  or (ii) 10
business  days  following  the  commencement  of, or public  announcement  of an
intention to make, a tender offer or exchange  offer the  consummation  of which
would result in the beneficial  ownership by an acquiring  person of 20% or more
of the outstanding  shares of the Company's common stock. The rights will expire
on the earlier of (i) the redemption or exchange of the rights or (ii) the close
of business on  September  17,  2011.  In the event the Company is acquired in a
merger or other business combination,  or 50% or more of its consolidated assets
or earning  power is sold after a person or group  becomes an acquiring  person,
each holder of a right - other than the acquiring  person - will thereafter have
the right to receive,  upon the exercise of the share purchase right at the then
current  exercise price,  that number of shares of common stock of the acquiring
person or its parent  corporation  which at the time of such  transaction  has a
market  value equal to two times the  exercise  price of the right.  At any time
after  any  person  or  group  becomes  an  acquiring  person  and  prior to the
acquisition by the acquiring person of 50% or more of the outstanding  shares of
the  Company's  common  stock,  the Del  Global  Board  may  exchange  the  then
outstanding rights in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of the
Company's  common stock per right. The rights owned by the acquiring person will

                                      -6-





be deemed to be void. In the event the Company makes a public  announcement that
a person or group has become an acquiring person,  each holder of a right, other
than rights beneficially owned by the acquiring person, will thereafter have the
right to purchase  from the Company upon  exercise  that number of shares of the
Company's  common  stock  having a market  value equal to two times the exercise
price for the  right.  At any time on or prior to the close of  business  on the
earlier  of: (i) 10 days  following  an event that  causes a person to become an
acquiring  person  (or a later  date as may be  determined  by action of the Del
Global  Board  and  publicly  announced  by the  Company  prior  to the 10th day
following the  acquiring  person being named such) or (ii) the close of business
on September  17,  2011,  the Del Global Board may redeem all, but not less than
all, of the then outstanding rights at a price of $.01 per right.


DEL GLOBAL'S DISAPPOINTING FINANCIAL RESULTS

DURING THE PAST THREE YEARS, DEL GLOBAL HAS SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT LOSSES.


            Del Global's financial results over the past three years have been a
disappointment to Steel, and it believes, to many other Del Global stockholders.
Del Global has sustained  operating and net losses during each of the past three
completed  fiscal years and the three and six month  periods  ended  February 1,
2003.


            o   According to the  Company's  registration  statement on Form S-1
                filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") on
                February  12,  2003  (the  "Form  S-1"),  the  Company  realized
                operating losses of $14,042,000,  $11,846,000 and $4,999,000 and
                net losses of $12,012,000,  $8,521,000 and $3,638,000 for fiscal
                2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

            o   According to the Company's most recent Form 10-Q for the quarter
                ended February 1, 2003, the Company realized operating losses of
                $976,000  and  $1,715,000  and  net  losses  of  $6,255,000  and
                $6,861,000 for the three and six month periods ended February 1,
                2003, respectively.

            In December  2000,  the Company's  Common Stock was  suspended  from
trading on the Nasdaq National  Market and  subsequently  de-listed  because the
Company failed to timely file its 2000 annual report with the SEC. The Company's
Common Stock  languishes  in the "Pink  Sheets" with little or no daily  trading
volume.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

WE BELIEVE THAT CERTAIN  DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE  OFFICERS ARE CONFLICTED  WHICH
MAY IMPAIR THEIR ABILITY TO EXERCISE INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT.


            We believe that certain directors and executive  officers may not be
able  to  effectively  exercise  their  fiduciary  duties  due to  conflicts  of
interest.  According to public  filings,  current and former  members of the Del
Global Board have made it a practice of engaging themselves,  friends and family
to perform services for the Company and, in some cases,  offering them full-time
employment with the Company.  We question whether these services could have been
obtained by the Company on more favorable terms from independent third parties.


            o   CONFLICTS OF INTEREST  INVOLVING  CEO AND DIRECTOR  SAMUEL PARK.
                According to the Form S-1,  during fiscal 2002, the Company paid
                approximately  $319,000 to a consulting  firm for work primarily
                performed by Edward  Ferris and Damien  Park,  the son of Samuel
                Park.  Between  July 2002 and January  2003,  the  Company  also
                incurred fees of approximately $18,600 per month to a consulting
                firm  of  which  Damien  Park  is   President.   Despite   these
                pre-existing   business  and  family   relationships   with  the
                Company's  CEO and  Director,  Edward  Ferris  was  subsequently
                appointed  Senior Vice President,  Corporate and  Organizational
                Development  of the Company at an annual base salary of $200,000
                and Damien Park  recently  was also given a  full-time  position
                with the Company.

            o   CONFLICTS  OF INTEREST  INVOLVING  FORMER  CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
                ROGER  WINSTON.  According to the Form S-1,  during fiscal 2002,
                the  Company  paid   approximately   $279,000  to  an  executive
                recruiting firm for recruiting services. Dale Winston, the Chief
                Executive  and partial  owner of this  recruiting  firm,  is the
                spouse of Roger Winston, the former Chairman of the Board of the
                Company  and was the  Chairman  during  the  period  when  these
                payments were made.


            o   CONFLICT  OF  INTEREST  INVOLVING  DIRECTOR  DAVID  MICHAEL  WHO
                RECENTLY  RESIGNED FROM THE DEL GLOBAL  BOARD.  According to the
                Form S-1,  during  fiscal 2002,  the Company paid  approximately
                $22,000 in accounting fees to an accounting firm partially owned
                by David  Michael,  a Director of the Company  until April 2003,
                while Mr. Michael was Chairman of the Company's Audit Committee.


VARIOUS  GOVERNMENT  INVESTIGATIONS  AND OTHER LEGAL  PROCEEDINGS  INVOLVING DEL
GLOBAL


THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN OF ITS FORMER  DIRECTORS  HAVE BEEN  TARGETED IN VARIOUS
GOVERNMENT  INVESTIGATIONS  AND OTHER  LEGAL  PROCEEDINGS  THAT WE BELIEVE  HAVE
COLLAPSED INVESTOR CONFIDENCE IN THE COMPANY.


            We believe  that the Del Global Board must be held  accountable  for
the following  government  investigations  and other legal  proceedings  and the
destructive impact they have had on investor confidence in the Company.

                                      -8-





            o   SEC ENFORCEMENT ACTION AGAINST DEL GLOBAL. According to the Form
                S-1, in December  2000,  the Division of  Enforcement of the SEC
                issued  a  Formal  Order  Directing  Private   Investigation  in
                connection  with  violations  relating  to  previously  reported
                accounting  irregularities,  giving  rise to the need to restate
                financial  statements  for  fiscal  1997 to fiscal  1999 and the
                first three  quarters of fiscal 2000.  The Company has indicated
                in the  Form  S-1 that  although  the  Company  has  reached  an
                agreement in principle with the SEC to settle its claims against
                the Company, the proposed settlement may be subject to necessary
                future restatements of historical  financial statements or other
                material adjustments which, in our opinion,  calls into question
                the  effectiveness  of the Company's past and current  financial
                disclosure controls and procedures.

            o   DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE  INVESTIGATION  OF POWER  CONVERSION GROUP
                BUSINESS.  According  to the Form S-1,  in March  2002,  the RFI
                Corporation  subsidiary,  part of the Company's Power Conversion
                Group,  was served with a subpoena by the U.S.  Attorney for the
                Eastern  District of New York in connection with  investigations
                by the U.S.  Department  of  Defense.  Although  the Company has
                disclosed that it has revised the  subsidiary's  quality control
                practices,  the  investigation  is  ongoing  and its  outcome is
                uncertain.  This investigation  commenced approximately one year
                after Samuel Park, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, joined
                the Company.


            o   SEC CONSENT DECREE AND "WELLS NOTICE"  INVOLVING  DAVID MICHAEL.
                According  to the Form S-1,  David  Michael,  a director  of the
                Company  from 1985 until his recent  resignation  in April 2003,
                was the  subject of a consent  decree with the SEC in April 1999
                pursuant to which Mr.  Michael was  enjoined  from  appearing or
                practicing before the SEC as an accountant. In October 2002, Mr.
                Michael  (as  well  as a  former  director  who has  also  since
                resigned)  informed  Del  Global  that he had  received a "Wells
                Notice"  from the SEC  indicating  that  the SEC is  considering
                whether or not to  recommend  the  filing of a civil  proceeding
                against Mr. Michael in connection with the Company's  accounting
                issues.  In connection  with Mr.  Michael's  retirement in April
                2003  from the Del  Global  Board,  Del  Global  entered  into a
                Separation  Agreement  and  General  Release of Claims  with Mr.
                Michael providing for, among other things, the immediate vesting
                of 25,625  stock  options,  an  extension of the term of certain
                stock options and a release.


            o   CLASS ACTION LITIGATION SETTLEMENT. According to the Form S-1, a
                consolidated  class  action  complaint  was  filed  against  the
                Company,  certain of its former  officers and current and former
                directors  in  February  2001  alleging  violations  of  federal
                securities  laws. The  defendants  settled the case resulting in
                the  issuance  to the  plaintiffs  of a $2 million  subordinated
                note,  2.5 million  shares of the Company's  Common  Stock,  and
                warrants to purchase 1 million  shares of the  Company's  Common
                Stock.

                                      -9-




DEL GLOBAL'S COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS SHOULD BE TIED CLOSELY TO PERFORMANCE

WE  BELIEVE  THAT  SAMUEL  PARK  BENEFITS  FROM   EXCESSIVE  CASH  AND  NON-CASH
COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS.

            We believe  that  executive  compensation  should be linked to value
delivered to  stockholders  and that a public  company's  compensation  programs
should be designed to provide a  correlation  between the  financial  success of
management and the  stockholders.  We see no  correlation  between the financial
performance  of Del  Global as  described  above  and  Samuel  Park's  lucrative
compensation arrangement.

            o   Under his  employment  agreement  with the Company,  Samuel Park
                receives  a base  salary  of at least  $350,000  per year and is
                entitled to an annual bonus equal to sixty  percent (60%) of his
                then   current   salary,   subject  to   achieving   unspecified
                performance goals.

            o   According to the Form S-1, it appears  that during  fiscal 2002,
                Mr.  Park  received  the  maximum  bonus   allowable  under  his
                employment  agreement  ($220,500)  even  after the  Company  (i)
                incurred a net loss of over $12  million  for the  fiscal  year,
                (ii) was in  violation  of certain  covenants  of its new credit
                facility  shortly after it was obtained and (iii) the Department
                of Defense  commenced its  investigation  of the RFI Corporation
                subsidiary.

            o   Despite  these  setbacks  suffered by the Company  during fiscal
                2002,  the  Company has  indicated  in the Form S-1 that the Del
                Global  Board  agreed  in  December  2002 to  amend  Mr.  Park's
                employment  agreement to provide for a gross-up payment equal to
                the  total  amount  of all taxes  imposed  on change of  control
                payments.  We believe these  additional  benefits are costly and
                unnecessary.  The Company has indicated in the Form S-1 that the
                large  payments  required  pursuant to the  Company's  change of
                control agreements could unduly burden the Company or serve as a
                barrier to a potential acquiror.

            o   In  addition,  according  to the  Form  S-1,  the  Company  also
                maintains executive apartments for the use of Mr. Park and other
                members of  management  which we believe is excessive  given the
                Company's size and financial performance.

WE BELIEVE THAT THE ELECTION OF STEEL'S NOMINEES REPRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
STOCKHOLDERS TO MAXIMIZE THE VALUE OF THEIR SHARES.


            Steel  has  nominated  three  truly  independent  nominees  who,  if
elected,  will  constitute a majority of the Company's  Board of  Directors.  We
believe that a majority of independent  directors who have no  affiliation  with
the  current  Del Global  Board and  management  will  increase  the  quality of
oversight  by the Del Global  Board,  lessen the  possibility  of  conflicts  of
interest  and  allow  the Del  Global  Board to most  effectively  exercise  its
fiduciary  duties to the  stockholders.  Additionally,  certain fellow investors
have indicated to Steel that they wish to see the Board  comprised of a majority
of  independent  directors who have no  affiliation  with the current Del Global
Board or management.


                                      -10-






            Steel's  Nominees  are  David W.  Wright,  Gerald M.  Czarnecki  and
Suzanne  M.  Hopgood.  Mr.  Wright  is an  experienced  value  investor  with  a
significant investment stake in Del Global.  Entities managed by Mr. Wright have
been stockholders of Del Global since December 2001. Mr. Wright is familiar with
the Company's  history,  management and  operations  through his analysis of the
Company's public filings and communications  with management.  Mr. Czarnecki and
Ms.  Hopgood,  who  were  referred  to Steel by the  President  of the  National
Association  of  Corporate  Directors,   are  seasoned  business  managers  with
substantial  board  leadership  experience  and a strong  knowledge of corporate
governance  trends and policy.  If elected,  the  Nominees  presently  intend to
oversee the Company under its current management, including Samuel Park as Chief
Executive   Officer,   and  do  not  expect  to  seek  acquisitions   until  the
reconstituted  Del Global Board is comfortable  with management and Del Global's
business plan. If elected,  the Nominees  intend to review Del Global's  current
business plan to determine whether it is likely to result in the maximization of
stockholder  value  and  make  recommendations  to  management  accordingly.  In
addition,  if elected,  the Nominees intend to take the following action with an
emphasis on corporate  governance  reform,  subject to their  fiduciary  duties,
including, but not limited to:


            O   AMENDING  THE  COMPANY'S  BYLAWS  TO ALLOW  HOLDERS  OF AT LEAST
                TWENTY-FIVE  PERCENT (25%) OF THE COMPANY'S  OUTSTANDING  COMMON
                STOCK TO CALL SPECIAL  MEETINGS OF  STOCKHOLDERS,  A STOCKHOLDER
                RIGHT THAT THE DEL GLOBAL BOARD  ELIMINATED  IN SEPTEMBER  2001,
                REDUCING THE RIGHTS OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS;

            O   REPEALING THE COMPANY'S POISON PILL;


            O   AMENDING  THE  COMPANY'S  BYLAWS TO  PROVIDE  FOR THE  PERMANENT
                SEPARATION  OF  THE  OFFICES  OF  CHIEF  EXECUTIVE  OFFICER  AND
                CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD;

            O   ADDING OUR NOMINEES, RECOGNIZED CORPORATE GOVERNANCE EXPERTS, TO
                DEL GLOBAL'S  NOMINATING AND CORPORATE  GOVERNANCE  COMMITTEE TO
                ENSURE  THE  ADOPTION  AND  IMPLEMENTATION  OF "BEST  PRACTICES"
                CORPORATE GOVERNANCE;


            O   ACTIVELY SEEKING TO SETTLE ALL PENDING  GOVERNMENTAL ACTIONS AND
                CIVIL PROCEEDINGS;

            O   APPLYING TO RE-LIST  THE  COMPANY'S  COMMON  STOCK ON THE NASDAQ
                NATIONAL  MARKET OR NASDAQ  SMALLCAP  MARKET TO THE  EXTENT  THE
                COMPANY QUALIFIES UNDER NASDAQ'S LISTING REQUIREMENTS; AND

            O   CONSIDERING THE RETENTION OF A NATIONALLY  RECOGNIZED INVESTMENT
                BANKING FIRM TO ASSIST IN THE REVIEW OF STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES.

There can be no assurance that the foregoing  actions will be implemented if our
Nominees  are elected or that the  election  of our  Nominees  will  maximize or
otherwise enhance stockholder value.

                                      -11-






            We wish to provide the stockholders,  the true owners of Del Global,
with the opportunity to elect directors that are unaffiliated  with the existing
Del  Global  Board and  management.  Your vote to elect  the  Nominees  does not
constitute  a vote in favor of our value  enhancing  plans for Del Global.  Your
vote to elect  the  Nominees  will  have the legal  effect  of  replacing  three
incumbent directors of Del Global with our Nominees. If the Nominees are elected
to the Del Global Board,  stockholders  will have an  opportunity to vote on any
value enhancing plan or proposal to the extent required by applicable law.


            Neither we (nor to our  knowledge,  any other  person on our behalf)
has made or undertaken any analysis or reports as to whether  stockholder  value
will be  maximized  as a result of this  solicitation  or obtained  reports from
consultants  or other  outside  parties as to whether  the  proposals  presented
herein would have an effect on stockholder value. There can be no assurance that
stockholder  value will be  maximized  as a result of this  solicitation  or the
election of the Nominees.

served as Chief Executive Officer of Furr's from May 1998 to October 1998 and as
a director from May 1996 to May 2000.  Ms.  Hopgood has extensive  experience in
corporate workouts,  turnarounds and restructuring.  She is the President of the
National Association of Corporate  Directors,  Connecticut Chapter. The business
address of Ms. Hopgood is c/o The Hopgood Group,  LLC, 44 Capitol Avenue,  Suite
103A,  Hartford,  CT  06106.  As  of  the  date  hereof,  Ms.  Hopgood  did  not
beneficially  own any securities of Del Global and has not purchased or sold any
securities of Del Global during the past two years.

            The Nominees will not receive any compensation  from Steel for their
services as directors of Del Global.  Other than as stated herein,  there are no
arrangements  or  understandings  between  Steel and any of the  Nominees or any
other person or persons pursuant to which the nomination  described herein is to
be made,  other  than the  consent by each of the  Nominees  to be named in this
Proxy  Statement  and to serve as a director of Del Global if elected as such at
the Annual  Meeting.  None of the  Nominees  has been  convicted in any criminal
proceedings (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) over the past
ten years.  None of the Nominees is a party  adverse to Del Global or any of its
subsidiaries  or has a  material  interest  adverse  to Del Global or any of its
subsidiaries in any material pending legal proceedings.


            Steel does not expect that the Nominees  will be unable to stand for
election,  but,  in the event that such  persons are unable to serve or for good
cause will not serve,  the Shares  represented  by the enclosed  GOLD proxy card
will be voted for substitute nominees. In addition,  Steel reserves the right to
nominate  substitute persons if Del Global makes or announces any changes to its

                                      -13-





Bylaws or takes or announces any other action that has, or if consummated  would
have,  the  effect of  disqualifying  the  Nominees.  In any such  case,  Shares
represented  by the enclosed  GOLD proxy card will be voted for such  substitute
nominees.  Notwithstanding  Steel's  ability  to  vote  proxies  for  substitute
nominees,  the enclosed GOLD proxy card can only be voted for up to three of the
five directors being elected at the Annual Meeting.  Steel reserves the right to
nominate  additional  persons if Del Global increases the size of the Del Global
Board above its  existing  size.  Additional  nominations  made  pursuant to the
preceding  sentence  are  without  prejudice  to the  position of Steel that any
attempt to  increase  the size of the current Del Global  Board  constitutes  an
unlawful manipulation of Del Global's corporate machinery.


YOU ARE URGED TO VOTE FOR THE  ELECTION  OF THE  NOMINEES ON THE  ENCLOSED  GOLD
PROXY CARD.


PROPOSAL NO. 2 - APPROVAL OF THE 2003 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

            Steel recommends a vote "AGAINST" the proposal  requesting  approval
of the Company's  2003 Equity  Incentive  Plan.  Please see the Company's  Proxy
Statement  for the Annual  Meeting  (the  "Management  Proxy  Statement")  for a
description of this proposal.

            The Company  had as of the end of its last  fiscal year  outstanding
options to  purchase a number of shares of its common  stock  equal to 19.26% of
the number of shares of the Company's common stock  outstanding as of the Record
Date. The  participants  in this  solicitation  believe that until the Company's
financial  performance  improves,  additional options above the amount currently
available  should not be made available for grant. In addition,  the Company has
not  indicated  publicly  whether or not it will  expense the  granting of stock
options.  The  participants  in this  solicitation  intend  to vote all of their
Shares AGAINST the proposal to approve the Company's 2003 Equity Incentive Plan.

YOU ARE URGED TO VOTE AGAINST THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE COMPANY'S  2003 EQUITY
INCENTIVE PLAN ON THE ENCLOSED GOLD PROXY CARD.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 - RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

            Steel has no objection to the  ratification  of the  appointment  of
Deloitte  & Touche  LLP as  independent  public  accountants  for Del Global for
fiscal 2003. Please see the Management Proxy Statement for a description of this
proposal.

                           VOTING AND PROXY PROCEDURES

            Only  stockholders  of record on the Record Date will be entitled to
notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each Share is entitled to one vote.
Stockholders  who sell Shares  before the Record Date (or acquire  them  without
voting rights after the Record Date) may not vote such Shares.  Stockholders  of
record on the Record Date will retain their voting rights in connection with the

                                      -14-





Annual  Meeting even if they sell such Shares  after the Record  Date.  Based on
publicly available  information,  Steel believes that the only outstanding class
of  securities  of Del  Global  entitled  to vote at the  Annual  Meeting is the
Shares.


            Shares  represented  by properly  executed  GOLD proxy cards will be
voted  at the  Annual  Meeting  as  marked  and,  in  the  absence  of  specific
instructions,  will be voted FOR the  election of the Nominees to the Del Global
Board,  AGAINST the proposal to approve the Company's 2003 Equity Incentive Plan
and FOR the  proposal  to ratify  the  appointment  of  Deloitte & Touche LLP as
independent  public  accountants  of Del  Global  for  fiscal  2003,  and in the
discretion  of the persons named as proxies on all other matters as may properly
come before the Annual Meeting.

            We are  asking  you to elect  our  Nominees  in  opposition  to five
incumbent  nominees whose terms expire at the Annual Meeting.  The enclosed GOLD
proxy card may only be voted for our Nominees  and does not confer  voting power
with respect to the remaining directorships.  Accordingly, you will not have the
opportunity to vote for any of Del Global's nominees.  You can only vote for Del
Global's  nominees by signing and returning a proxy card provided by Del Global.
Stockholders  should  refer to the  Management  Proxy  Statement  for the names,
background,   qualifications  and  other  information  concerning  Del  Global's
nominees.  The  participants  in this  solicitation  intend to vote all of their
Shares in favor of the  Nominees  and will not vote their Shares in favor of any
of Del Global's  nominees in order to fill the remaining  directorships.  If the
Del Global Board undertakes to expand the number of directors and Steel does not
nominate  additional  persons  sufficient  to  constitute  a majority of the Del
Global  Board if elected,  we may not hold the  majority of the Del Global Board
and thus we may not be able to  implement  any of the actions  described in this
proxy statement.  The Del Global Board has the discretionary authority to create
and fill vacant  directorships.  Del Global stockholders will be disenfranchised
with regard to at least two directorships if the stockholders  elect to vote for
our Nominees and fail to return the Company's proxy card.


QUORUM

            In order to conduct  any  business at the Annual  Meeting,  a quorum
must be present in person or represented by valid proxies.  A quorum consists of
a majority of the Shares issued and  outstanding  on the Record Date. All Shares
that are voted  "FOR",  "AGAINST"  or "ABSTAIN"  (or  "WITHHOLD"  in the case of
election of directors) on any matter will count for purposes of  establishing  a
quorum and will be treated as Shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting (the
"Votes Present").

VOTES REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL

            Under  New York  law,  the  Company's  state of  incorporation,  for
purposes of  determining  the "Votes Cast" with respect to any matter  presented
for  consideration  at the  Annual  Meeting,  only  those  Votes  Cast  "FOR" or
"AGAINST" are counted.

            Election  of  Directors.  A  plurality  of the total  Votes  Cast by
holders of the Shares is required for the election of directors and the nominees
who receive the most votes will be elected  (assuming  a quorum is  present).  A
vote to "WITHHOLD"  for any nominee for director will be counted for purposes of
determining  the Votes Present,  but will have no other effect on the outcome of

                                      -15-





the vote on the election of directors. A stockholder may cast such votes for the
Nominees  either by so marking the ballot at the  meeting or by specific  voting
instructions  sent with a signed proxy to either Steel in care of Innisfree  M&A
Incorporated  at the address set forth on the back cover of this Proxy Statement
or to Del Global at One  Commerce  Park,  Valhalla,  New York 10595 or any other
address provided by Del Global.

            Other  Proposals.  Other than the  election of  directors,  the vote
required for all other business matters set forth in this Proxy Statement is the
affirmative vote of a majority of the Votes Cast.

ABSTENTIONS

            Abstentions   will  count  as  Votes  Present  for  the  purpose  of
determining  whether a quorum is  present.  Abstentions  will not be  counted as
Votes Cast.  Accordingly,  Steel believes that  abstentions  will have no effect
upon the  outcome  of voting on any of the  business  matters  set forth in this
Proxy Statement.

BROKER NON-VOTES

            Shares  held in  street  name  that are  present  by  proxy  will be
considered  as Votes  Present for  purposes of  determining  whether a quorum is
present.  With regard to certain proposals,  the holder of record of Shares held
in street name is permitted to vote as it determines,  in its discretion, in the
absence of direction from the beneficial holder of the Shares.

            The term "broker non-vote" refers to shares held in street name that
are not voted  with  respect  to a  particular  matter,  generally  because  the
beneficial  owner did not give any  instructions to the broker as to how to vote
such shares and the broker is not permitted under  applicable rules to vote such
shares in its  discretion  because of the subject  matter of the  proposal,  but
whose shares are present on at least one matter. Such shares shall be counted as
Votes Present for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present. Broker
non-votes  will not be counted as Votes Cast with respect to matters as to which
the record  holder has  expressly not voted.  Accordingly,  Steel  believes that
broker  non-votes  will have no effect  upon the outcome of voting on any of the
business matters set forth in this Proxy Statement.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

            Stockholders  of Del  Global may  revoke  their  proxies at any time
prior to exercise by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person (although
attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation
of a proxy) or by delivering a written notice of  revocation.  The delivery of a
subsequently   dated  proxy  which  is  properly  completed  will  constitute  a
revocation of any earlier proxy. The revocation may be delivered either to Steel
in care of Innisfree M&A Incorporated at the address set forth on the back cover
of this Proxy  Statement or to Del Global at One Commerce  Park,  Valhalla,  New
York 10595 or any other address provided by Del Global. Although a revocation is
effective if delivered to Del Global, Steel requests that either the original or
photostatic  copies of all  revocations  be mailed to Steel in care of Innisfree
M&A  Incorporated  at the  address  set  forth on the back  cover of this  Proxy

                                      -16-





Statement so that Steel will be aware of all revocations and can more accurately
determine if and when proxies have been  received  from the holders of record on
the Record Date of a majority of the outstanding Shares. Additionally, Innisfree
M&A  Incorporated  may use this  information  to contact  stockholders  who have
revoked  their  proxies in order to solicit later dated proxies for the election
of the Nominees.

IF YOU WISH TO VOTE FOR THE  ELECTION OF THE  NOMINEES TO THE DEL GLOBAL  BOARD,
PLEASE  SIGN,  DATE AND  RETURN  PROMPTLY  THE  ENCLOSED  GOLD PROXY CARD IN THE
POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE PROVIDED.

                             SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

            The  solicitation  of proxies  pursuant to this Proxy  Statement  is
being made by Steel.  Proxies may be  solicited by mail,  facsimile,  telephone,
telegraph,  in person and by advertisements.  Steel will not solicit proxies via
the Internet.


            Steel  has  entered  into  an  agreement  with   Innisfree   M&A
Incorporated  for  solicitation  and advisory  services in connection  with this
solicitation, for which Innisfree M&A Incorporated will receive a fee not to
exceed $50,000,  together with  reimbursement  for its reasonable  out-of-pocket
expenses,  and will be indemnified  against  certain  liabilities  and expenses,
including  certain  liabilities  under the federal  securities  laws.  Innisfree
M&A Incorporated will solicit proxies from individuals, brokers, banks, bank
nominees and other institutional  holders.  Steel has requested banks, brokerage
houses  and  other   custodians,   nominees  and   fiduciaries  to  forward  all
solicitation  materials  to the  beneficial  owners of the  Shares  they hold of
record.   Steel  will  reimburse  these  record  holders  for  their  reasonable
out-of-pocket  expenses in so doing.  It is anticipated  that Innisfree  M&A
Incorporated  will  employ  approximately  25 persons to  solicit  Del  Global's
stockholders for the Annual Meeting.

            The entire expense of soliciting proxies is being borne by Steel and
each of Henry Partners and Matthew Partners (and their  affiliates)  pursuant to
the terms of the Joint Filing and Solicitation  Agreement (as defined below). If
the  Nominees  are  elected  to the Del  Global  Board,  Steel and each of Henry
Partners  and  Matthew   Partners   (and  their   affiliates)   intend  to  seek
reimbursement  of the  costs  of  this  solicitation  from  Del  Global.  Unless
otherwise  required  by law,  Steel  does not  currently  intend to  submit  the
question of  reimbursement  of the costs of this  solicitation  to a stockholder
vote.  Costs of this  solicitation  of proxies  are  currently  estimated  to be
approximately  $200,000.  Steel and each of Henry Partners and Matthew  Partners
(and their affiliates)  estimate that through the date hereof, their expenses in
connection with this solicitation are approximately $125,000.

                            CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Court of the State of New  York,  County  of New  York,  in order to compel  Del
Global to produce certain  records,  documents and  information  that will allow
Steel to solicit proxies for election of the Nominees at the Annual Meeting.  On

respective  associates  within the past year with any person with respect to any
of Del Global's securities,  including, but not limited to, joint ventures, loan
or option arrangements,  puts or calls, guarantees against loss or guarantees of
profit, division of losses or profits, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

            Except as set forth in this Proxy Statement (including the Schedules
hereto),  neither Steel nor any of the other  participants in this solicitation,
or any of  their  respective  associates,  has  entered  into any  agreement  or
understanding  with any person with respect to (i) any future  employment by Del
Global or its affiliates or (ii) any future  transactions to which Del Global or

will continue to review, on the basis of publicly available information, various
possible  business  strategies  that it might  consider  in the  event  that the
Nominees are elected to the Del Global Board.

                    OTHER MATTERS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION


            Steel is unaware of any other matters to be considered at the Annual
Meeting other than the approval of the Company's 2003 Equity  Incentive Plan and
the  ratification  of  the  appointment  of  the  Company's  independent  public
accountants.  However,  should  other  matters,  which  Steel is not  aware of a
reasonable time before this solicitation,  be brought before the Annual Meeting,
the persons  named as proxies on the enclosed  GOLD proxy card will vote on such
matters in their discretion.


            Steel has  omitted  from this  Proxy  Statement  certain  disclosure
required by  applicable  law that is already  included in the  Management  Proxy
Statement.   This  disclosure   includes,   among  other  things,   biographical
information  on Del  Global's  directors  and  executive  officers,  information
concerning executive compensation, an analysis of cumulative total returns on an
investment in Del Global Shares during the past five years, information on audit
services and fees of Deloitte  &  Touche LLP and  procedures  for nominating
directors  for election to the Del Global  Board and  submitting  proposals  for
inclusion  in  Del  Global's  proxy   statement  at  the  next  annual  meeting.
Stockholders  should refer to the Management  Proxy Statement in order to review
this disclosure.
