<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;"><b>Lakewood, Colorado</b><b>, </b>May 15, 2020<b> &#8211;</b> Mesa Laboratories, Inc.

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">Ms. Hall&#8217;s election fills the open position created by the retirement of Robert Dwyer, a position he held for 14 years. In addition, Shannon has been appointed to the Nominating and Governance Committee.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="background-color:#FFFFFF;font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&#8220;I would like to welcome Shannon to Mesa&#8217;s Board and thank Robert for his years of dedication to the Company,&#8221; said John Sullivan, Chairman of the Board. &#8220;We are furthering our goal of increasing our Board&#8217;s engagement in strategic decision-making by bringing on new members with highly relevant market experience in high growth environments. Shannon is a perfect fit, bringing many years of involvement and knowledge in biopharmaceutical research and development with a strong balance of technical and customer insight. Her guidance in the years ahead will be instrumental in helping Mesa execute its strategic growth plans.&#8221;</p>

<p style="background-color:#FFFFFF;font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="background-color:#FFFFFF;font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">Shannon joins the Board after a 25 year career at Bio-Rad Laboratories where she held multiple positions of increasing responsibility in Product Management, Marketing, and General Management. Most recently, she led Bio-Rad&#8217;s $750M Life Sciences Group which provided tools for biopharmaceutical research, development, and production segments. Currently, she is active in medical device and bioproduction startups as a member of Life Science Angels and co-founder of Pow.bio, an early stage company in the industrial synthetic biology sector.</p>
