<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>St. Louis, Missouri &#150; January&nbsp;5, 2015 &#150;</B> Belden Inc. (NYSE: BDC), a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission critical

with Belden&#146;s application expertise across Enterprise, Industrial and Broadcast markets will position Belden as a leader in helping customers deploy and secure the &#145;Internet of Things&#146;,&#148; said John Stroup, President and CEO of
Belden. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The acquisition of Tripwire will be immediately accretive to adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share with an estimated
impact of approximately $0.65 in 2015. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of this successful outcome, the company increases its guided range for 2015 adjusted revenues from
$2.40 - $2.45 billion to $2.565 - $2.615 billion and adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share from $4.70 - $5.00 to $5.35 - $5.65. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A
more detailed discussion of the financial impact will occur on Belden&#146;s regularly scheduled fourth quarter 2014 earnings conference call on Thursday, February&nbsp;5, 2015. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Adjusted results
are non-GAAP measures that reflect certain adjustments the Company makes to provide insight into operating results. These results exclude certain items including purchase accounting effects related to acquisitions, revenue and cost of sales
deferrals, severance and other restructuring costs, gains (losses) recognized on the disposal of tangible assets, amortization of intangible assets, gains (losses) on debt extinguishment, and other costs. A GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation is

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain statements in this release and the attachments may constitute &#147;forward-looking statements.&#148; Such statements relate to a variety of matters,
including: the operations of the businesses of Belden and Tripwire as a combined entity; the expected benefits of the integration of the two companies; the combined company&#146;s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions; and other statements
that are not historical fact (such as future revenues, costs and expenses, operating income, earnings per share, margins, cash flows, dividends, and capital expenditures). </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These statements are made on the basis of the current beliefs, expectations and assumptions of the management of
Belden regarding future events and are subject to significant risks and uncertainty. Investors are cautioned not to place reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Belden undertakes no obligation

expressed or implied. Such differences may result from a variety of factors, including: the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; the loss of senior management or key employees of Belden or Tripwire; the possibility of
disruption from the merger making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships; any actions taken by either of the companies, including restructuring or strategic initiatives (including capital investments or asset
acquisitions or dispositions); developments beyond the combined company&#146;s control, including: changes in domestic or global economic conditions, competitive conditions and consumer preferences; natural disasters; international, political or
military developments; and technological developments. Additional factors that may cause results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements are set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Belden for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2013 filed with the SEC on February&nbsp;27, 2014, under the heading &#147;Item 1A&#151;Risk Factors,&#148; and in subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K and other filings made with the SEC by Belden. </P>
