This Current Report on Form 8-K is not an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell securities of the Technology Research Corporation (“TRC”). The planned tender offer by Coleman Cable, Inc. (the “Company”) for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of TRC has not been commenced. On commencement of the tender offer, the Company will mail to TRC shareholders an offer to purchase and related materials and TRC will mail to its shareholders a solicitation/recommendation statement with respect to the tender offer. The Company will file its offer to purchase with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Schedule TO, and TRC will file its solicitation/recommendation statement with the SEC on Schedule 14D-9. TRC shareholders are urged to read these materials carefully when they become available, since they will contain important information, including terms and conditions of the offer. TRC’s shareholders may obtain a free copy of these materials (when they become available) and other documents filed the Company and TRC with the SEC at the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. These materials also may be obtained (when they become available) for free by contacting the information agent for the tender offer.
