On January 15, 2008, the Board of Directors of Methode Electronics, Inc. (the “Company”), upon recommendation from the Company’s Nominating and Governance Committee, voted to elect Walter J. Aspatore as a director of the Company, effective February 1, 2008. Mr. Aspatore was elected to fill the vacancy resulting from the previously announced resignation of George S.

Mr. Aspatore will be eligible to participate in all non-management director compensation packages and plans available to the Company’s other independent directors at the commencement of his term on February 1, 2008.
Mr. Aspatore currently serves as Chairman and Co-Founder of Amherst Partners, LLC, where he specializes in advising companies on mergers and acquisitions, financings, business valuations, turnarounds, and provides other advisory services for companies engaged primarily in manufacturing, distribution and service-related industries. Prior to co-founding Amherst Partners in 1994, Mr. Aspatore served in various officer positions at diversified manufacturing and technology businesses, including Cross and Trecker Corporation, the Warner and Swasey Company, Bendix Corporation and TRW Corporation.
