Bel Fuse Reports SynQor Verdict

JERSEY CITY, New Jersey, December 22, 2010 -- Bel Fuse Inc. (NASDAQ:BELFA and NASDAQ:BELFB) today announced that the jury has reached its verdict in SynQor v. Artesyn Technologies, Inc., et al. In 2007, SynQor filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging that eleven defendants, including Bel Fuse, infringed its patents covering certain power products. SynQor asserted 10 claims in 5 patents at trial, but withdrew its willfulness claims and its request for treble damages prior to trial.

The jury found that certain products of the defendants directly and/or indirectly infringe the SynQor patents. The Bel products accused of infringing the SynQor patents involve unregulated bus converters.  The jury awarded damages of approximately $8.1 million against Bel.

The patents were issued in the United States in 2006-2009. Bel is currently evaluating the impact of the verdict, but does not believe that the impact will be material to its overall business. Bel is also evaluating its grounds for appeal.
