                              FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


           DEL GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES CHANGES SHAREHOLDER MEETING DATE TO
                                  MAY 29, 2003


VALHALLA, NY, April 24, 2003 - Del Global Technologies (DGTC) ("Del") announced
today that it has changed the date of its Annual Meeting of Shareholders to May
29, 2003. The Company also set April 25, 2003 as the new record date to
determine shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting.

When the meeting date was originally established, the Company had not
contemplated a contested election. Steel Partners II, L.P. ("Steel Partners")
has filed a preliminary proxy statement and announced its intention to commence
a proxy contest. Del said it has changed the meeting date to May 29, 2003 to
give its shareholders adequate time to fully consider the issues raised in this
contest, as well as the merits of the Company's financial and operating
turnaround and its business plan to enhance shareholder value.

Del Global Technologies Corp. is primarily engaged in the design, manufacture
and marketing of cost-effective medical imaging and diagnostic systems
consisting of stationary and portable x-ray systems, radiographic/fluoroscopic
systems, dental imaging systems and proprietary high-voltage power conversion
subsystems for medical and other critical industrial applications. Industrial
applications for which Del supplies power subsystems include airport explosives
detection, analytical instrumentation, semiconductor capital equipment and
energy exploration.

Del Global filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a preliminary proxy
statement relating to the solicitation of proxies with respect to the Del Global
2003 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Del Global will file with the Commission,
and will furnish to its shareholders, a definitive proxy statement and may file
other proxy solicitation materials. Investors and security holders are urged to
read the proxy statement and any other proxy solicitation materials (when they
become available) because they will contain important information.

Investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of the preliminary proxy
statement and the definitive proxy statement (when it is available) and other
documents filed by Del Global with the Commission at the Commission's website at
