On February 21, 2013, Brady Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its fiscal 2013 second quarter financial results. A copy of the press release is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

On February 20, 2013, the Board of Directors of Brady Corporation approved a reorganization of the Company into three global product-based business platforms effective May 1, 2013, and a restructuring action to reduce approximately 5-7% of the Company's global workforce. Upon completion of the reorganization, the platforms will be Identification Solutions, Workplace Safety and Die Cut, with Matthew O. Williamson, Scott Hoffman and Stephen Millar, respectively, slated to lead these businesses. Mr. Williamson is currently Vice President of the Company and President--Brady Americas, Mr. Hoffman is currently Vice President--Corporate and Business Development of the Company and Mr. Millar is currently Vice President of the Company and President--Brady Asia Pacific. The Company is implementing the reorganization and restructuring actions to further enhance its coordinated global business strategies for each business platform, to improve efficiency of operations, to promote greater customer focus and to reduce operating expenses. The Company will begin segment reporting in the three business platforms in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013.

In connection with the restructuring action, the Company expects to incur pre-tax cash charges of approximately $15-$18 million, primarily related to employee severance/termination benefits, substantially all of which will result in cash expenditures. The Company expects to recognize most of these charges in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2013 and complete most of the restructuring by the end of fiscal year 2013. Upon completion of the restructuring action, the Company expects to realize annualized savings of approximately $25-$30 million from the restructuring.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company in connection with the reorganization and restructuring action is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

On February 20, 2013, Peter C. Sephton, who serves as Vice President of the Company and President--Brady EMEA, notified the Company of his intent to resign these positions effective April 30, 2013. Mr. Sephton will remain employed with the Company for the period after his resignation of these positions through July 31, 2013 in order to assist the Company in its reorganization to three global product-based business platforms, at which time Mr. Sephton will retire. The Company anticipates entering into a written agreement with Mr. Sephton by the end of the current fiscal quarter in connection with his resignation and retirement that would provide for payment of his current salary and benefits through his retirement on July 31, a severance payment of GBP 340,000, including a portion of that sum as consideration for a non-compete covenant and up to GBP 5,000 for reimbursement of legal fees. Mr. Sephton's resignation and retirement was described in a press release issued by the Company in connection with the reorganization and restructuring action disclosed in Item 2.05 hereto which is furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Upon completion of the reorganization described in Item 2.05 above, the following executive officer changes will be implemented:
