(1) The Reporting Person has no pecuniary interest in any shares of LaBarge, Inc. common stock and therefore is not the beneficial owner of any shares of LaBarge, Inc. common stock for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
(2) By virtue of the voting rights granted to the Reporting Person in that certain Voting Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2011 (the "Voting Agreement"), among the Reporting Person and the LaBarge, Inc. stockholders party thereto, which was entered into in connection with that certain Merger Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2011, by and among the Reporting Person, DLBMS, Inc., a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person, and LaBarge, Inc., the Reporting Person may be deemed for purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act to beneficially own approximately 21.3% of LaBarge, Inc.'s common stock. Neither the filing of this Form 3 nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by the Reporting Person that it is the beneficial owner of any shares of LaBarge, Inc. common stock for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership thereof is expressly disclaimed.
