This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this “Schedule 13E-3”), is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”), jointly by the following persons (each, a “Filing Person,” and collectively, the “Filing Persons”): (i) C&D Technologies, Inc. (“C&D”), a Delaware corporation and the issuer of the shares that are subject to the Rule 13e-3 transaction; (ii) Angel Holdings LLC (“Acquiror”), a Delaware limited liability company; (iii) Angel Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation; (iv) AG MM, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“AG MM”); (v) AG Capital Recovery Partners VI, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“AG Capital VI”); (vi) AG Capital Recovery Partners VII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“AG Capital VII”);  (vii) AG Eleven Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“AG Eleven”); (viii) AG Garden Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“AG Garden”); (ix) Nutmeg Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Nutmeg”); (x) AG Princess, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“AG Princess”); (xi) AG CNG Funds, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“AG CNG”); (xii) PHS Patriot Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“PHS Patriot”); (xiii) AG Super Fund International Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“AG Super Fund  International”); and (xiv) AG Super Fund, L.P., Delaware limited partnership (“AG Super Fund” and, collectively with AG MM, AG Capital VI, AG Capital VII, AG Eleven, AG Garden, Nutmeg, AG Princess, AG CNG, PHS Patriot and AG Super Fund International, the “Angelo Gordon Entities”).  Concurrently with the filing of this Schedule 13E-3, C&D is filing with the SEC a preliminary Information Statement (the “Preliminary Information Statement”) pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act containing information with respect to the Merger (as defined below) and related matters.

C&D, Acquiror and Merger Sub entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 3, 2011 (the “Merger Agreement”), which provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into C&D (the “Merger”).  Upon completion of the Merger, each share of common stock of C&D issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Shares”), except for Shares (i) held by stockholders who are entitled to demand and who properly demand appraisal for such shares under Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and (ii) owned by C&D as treasury stock or by Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Angelo Gordon Entities or any wholly owned subsidiary of C&D, will be canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive $9.75 in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes.  A copy of the Preliminary Information Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1) and a copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A to the Preliminary Information Statement.

Acting upon the recommendation of a special committee of independent, disinterested directors of C&D, C&D’s board of directors (with Todd Arden, who is a Managing Director at Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P., an affiliate of Acquiror and Merger Sub, taking no part in the vote) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger) are fair to, and in the best interests of, the stockholders of C&D, other than the Angelo Gordon Entities, approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and recommended that C&D’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement.

The adoption of the Merger Agreement by C&D’s stockholders required the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the Shares.  On October 3, 2011, the Angelo Gordon Entities, which on such date collectively owned approximately 65% of the outstanding Shares as of such date, delivered a written consent adopting the Merger Agreement.  As a result, no further action by any C&D stockholder is required to adopt the Merger Agreement and C&D has not and will not be soliciting your vote to adopt the Merger Agreement and does not intend to call a stockholders meeting for purposes of voting on the adoption of the Merger Agreement.  A copy of the written consent is attached as Annex B to the Preliminary Information Statement.
