Dear Mr. Morris:

We have reviewed the Comment Letter with Del Global Technologies Corp. (the “Company”) and provide the following supplemental response on its behalf. Unless otherwise indicated, the page references below are to the marked version of the enclosed paper copy of Amendment No. 5 to Form S-1 (“Amendment No. 5”) filed on the date hereof. Capitalized terms used herein and not separately defined have the meanings given to them in Amendment No. 5. Our responses are numbered to correspond to your comments.

bullets on page 16. Make similar revisions on page 24, in Exhibit 99.1 and elsewhere as appropriate.

Response: The Company has amended the prospectus and Exhibit 99.1 to clarify that shareholders must make the representation set forth in the bullet point on page 24 beginning with “by purchasing shares of common…” or that, in the alternative, shareholders must follow the procedures described in the following three bullets. Please see pages 16 and 24 of the prospectus and Exhibit 99.1.

 

3. Refer to the fifth bullet on page 16. Please include an affirmative statement in this risk factor that the company will honor the exercise of rights in this offering by Steel Partners, a 30% shareholder, in an amount that does not endanger the company’s NOLs against future taxable income.

You may not receive all of the shares…, page 16

 

4. We note your revised disclosure under this heading. However, we note that exhibits 99.3, 99.4 and 99.5 state that in the event rights holders seeking to oversubscribe would endanger the availability of your NOLs, those rights holders seeking to oversubscribe will generally be proportionally reduced. Please revise to clarify the meaning of this language and reconcile, as appropriate, with your disclosure in the prospectus.

Response: The Company has revised its disclosure in Exhibits 99.3, 99.4 and 99.5 and on pages 2 and 17 of the prospectus to clarify the process by which shares are distributed among shareholders who have exercised their oversubscription rights.

Please revise to disclose the information contained in the second paragraph of your response to prior comment 2 regarding the process that you will use to determine the ownership threshold that shareholders will not be permitted to exceed.
