Reaches Preliminary Agreement to Settle Securities Class Action July 26, 2001 VALHALLA, N.Y. -- Del Global Technologies Corp. (DGTC) announced today that it has reached an agreement in principle to settle the consolidated securities class action lawsuits pending against Del and other named defendants in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Under the agreement, which must be approved by the Court, Del will contribute to the settlement $2 million in the form of a subordinated note due in five years with interest at 6% per annum, 2.5 million shares of Del common stock and warrants to purchase 1 million shares of Del's common stock exercisable at $2.00 per share, expiring six (6) years from the date of execution. The warrants will be callable by Del at $0.25 per warrant once Del's common stock trades at $4 per share if not exercised. The plaintiffs will also receive a $2 million cash payment to which Del will not contribute. The class action was initiated following the discovery in November 2000 of accounting irregularities at Del. "We are pleased to eliminate the uncertainty of the class action lawsuits," said Samuel E. Park, Del's President. "This settlement effectively brings closure to this most unfortunate event. The preliminary agreement entails no cash contribution from the Company today, and effectively quantifies and caps the Company's exposure from this litigation." The timing and manner of distribution of the settlement to members of the class will be subject to a plan of distribution to be developed by plaintiffs' counsel subject to approval by the Court. Lead plaintiffs' counsel is Schoengold & Sporn, P.C., 19 Fulton Street, New York, NY 10038-2100, (212) 964-0046.

For all purposes of this Agreement, the Consumer Price Index is hereby defined as the index for the New York City Metropolitan Area, now known as the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (revised) -- U.S. City average, and selected areas (1982 - 84 = 100), all times. If the Consumer Price Index shall be discontinued or altered, then any successor Consumer Price Index of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, or successor agency thereof, for the New York City Metropolitan Area, shall be used, and if there is no such successor Consumer Price Index, the Corporation and Executive shall agree upon a substitute index or formula. The Salary shall be payable bi-weekly less such deductions as shall be required to be withheld by applicable law and regulations. 4.2. Bonus. In addition to his annual Salary the Executive shall receive a bonus ("Bonus") during each year of employment during the term of this Agreement. Executive's Bonus for each year shall be determined in accordance with the goals set by the Board of Directors. The Board shall set target performance goals and if Executive attains 100% of the target performance goals, Executive's Bonus shall be sixty (60%) percent of the Salary. If the Executive exceeds the target performance goals, the Board may increase the Bonus pursuant to Section 4.6 of this Agreement, and if Executive fails to attain 100% of the target performance goals, the Board shall adjust the Bonus appropriately. The Bonus shall be payable within thirty (30) days after the Board of Director's determination ("Determination Date"). 4.3. Deferred Compensation Account. (a) Election to Defer Portion of Bonus. The Executive shall be entitled to elect to reduce any percentage or dollar amount of the Bonus otherwise payable pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof and to have such elected amount credited and deposited in Executive's "Deferred Compensation Account" (as defined in this Section) by delivering a written election notice (the "Deferral Notice") to the Corporation (which may be changed each year for a later year) of such amount to be deferred; provided, however, any written election notice shall be effective for the next succeeding year only if the notice shall be delivered to the Corporation prior to the first day of the year to which the deferral of a portion of the Bonus relates. The Corporation shall deposit the election amount hereunder into Executive's Deferred Compensation Account on the Determination Date. Any amount which may be deferred by Executive pursuant to this provision shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 4.3. (b) Establishment of Account. If the Executive elects to defer any portion of the Bonus pursuant to a Deferral Notice as provided in Section 4.3(a), the Corporation shall establish a "Deferred Compensation Account" for the benefit of Executive. The Corporation shall deposit the Executive's deferred compensation in the Deferred Compensation Account, which shall be in the form of a money market account, certificate of deposit or similar instrument, stocks, whether common, preferred or otherwise, bonds and other securities or mutual funds or private investment partnerships (collectively, "Investment Funds"), pursuant to the Deferral Notice and as directed by the Executive. The Executive's exercise of, or failure to exercise, his rights under this Section 4.3 for any year, shall not affect the Employee's right to exercise his rights with respect to any other year. (c) Interest, Dividends and other Accumulations or Losses. To the extent the Corporation invests funds in Investment Funds as provided in Section 4.3(b), then all interest, dividends, gains and other additions or returns thereon shall be credited and all losses thereon shall be debited, to the Executive's Deferred Compensation Account. In the event a separate Investment Fund is not maintained for the accrued amount in the Deferred Compensation Account, then interest shall be credited at a rate equal to the prime rate, from time to time at the end of each quarter, to such extent. (d) Payments in Certain Events. Except as provided in Section 5.2, the amount of the Deferred Compensation Account shall be paid to the Executive upon his reaching the earlier of age of sixty-five (65) or the Corporation's normal retirement age, if any. Upon such event, the then entire value of the Deferred Compensation Account shall be paid to the Executive. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.3(d), the Corporation shall pay Executive the entire Deferred Compensation Account upon the termination of his employment hereunder pursuant to the terms of Section 5.2 of this Agreement, or upon a Change of Control as defined in Section 9.2 of this Agreement. (e) Character of Deferred Compensation Account. It is the intention of the parties that the Deferred Compensation Account shall constitute an unfunded arrangement for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and all rights created pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Deferred Compensation Account shall be an unsecured contractual right of Executive, his estate and his beneficiaries against the Corporation. Executive acknowledges that any assets the Corporation invests in a separate fund is intended to provide the Corporation with a source of funds to assist it in meeting its liabilities under this Agreement and that the assets in the separate funds are subject to the claims of the Corporation's general creditors under Federal and State law in the event of insolvency. 4.4.

Discretionary Payments. Nothing herein shall preclude the Corporation from paying Executive such bonus or bonuses or other compensation, as the Board of Directors, in their discretion, may authorize from time to time. 4.7. Life Insurance. During the term of this Agreement, the Corporation shall pAy premiums and maintain a life insurance policy on the life of the Executive in the amount equal to three (3) times the Salary of Executive hereunder, less any benefits payable pursuant to the group insurance referred to in Section 4.5 above. Benefits under such policy shall be payable to the Executive's estate or beneficiary designated by him. Executive shall cooperate in obtaining such policy, including submitting to a physical examination if required by the issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not be obligated to continue to maintain the policy in the event the Executive is uninsurable or can only be insured with the payment of a special premium or upon the termination of Executive's employment for any reason. Section 5. Termination. 5.1. Salary and Bonus Payments. This Agreement shall terminate upon the death, Total Disability, as hereinafter defined, or termination of employment of the Executive For Cause, as defined in Section 5.4 hereof, or because Executive leaves his employment hereunder.

This Agreement shall not terminate in the event the Corporation terminates Executive's employment and such termination is not For Cause. If the Corporation terminates Executive's employment other than For Cause, Executive shall be entitled to the Salary and Bonus each year during the term of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 5.2. Deferred Compensation Amounts after Death, Total Disability or Termination. Upon the death, Total Disability, or termination of Executive For Cause or if Executive leaves his employment hereunder, the Corporation shall pay Executive, or in the event of his death, his designee or his estate within sixty (60) days after such termination, an amount equal to the amount accumulated in the Deferred Compensation Account plus all accrued interest, dividends and gains thereon as of the date of the death, Total Disability, or termination of employment. 5.3.

Payment During Disability. In the event the Executive is unable to perform his duties hereunder by reason of a disability, which disability does not constitute Total Disability, the Corporation shall continue to pay the Executive his Salary during the continuance of such disability; provided, however, that in the event the Executive shall, within twelve (12) months after his disability, recover sufficiently to return to work for a period of sixty (60) consecutive working days, he shall be fully reinstated. Any relapse which thereafter occurs shall be deemed to be a subsequent disability. Section 7. Vacations. The Executive shall be entitled to a vacation of five (5) weeks per year, during which period his Salary shall be paid in full.

In the event that any payments or provisions for the payment of salary, benefits, perquisites and rights to Executive made as a result of a Change in Control as defined in this Section 8 shall, together with any other payment received by Executive, be considered to be an "excess parachute payment" under Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code, this Agreement shall be construed so that the amount received by Executive that is described as a "parachute payment" under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code shall equal the greater of (i) the amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement (determined, solely for purposes of the comparison clause (ii), hereof, by netting out any excise tax that may be due under Section 4999 of the Code) or (ii) the maximum amount that could be paid to Executive so that no such amount, along with all other "parachute payments" made to Executive by the Corporation, will be deemed to constitute an "excess parachute payment" as defined under Code Section 280G(b)(1). The payment of the above amount shall be made as soon as practicable after the Change of Control is effective, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the effective date of the Change of Control.

Exception This Section 10 shall not be construed to prevent Executive from owning, directly and indirectly, in the aggregate, an amount not exceeding five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding voting securities of any class of any corporation whose voting capital stock is traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market. 10.4.

In the event that any restriction in this Agreement is more restrictive than permitted by law in the jurisdiction in which the Corporation seeks enforcement thereof, such restriction shall be limited to the extent permitted by law. 11.2.
