      <div style="text-align: left; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;">On August 31, 2023, Methode Electronics, Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) announced that Donald W. Duda, its President and Chief Executive Officer, plans to retire once a successor
        is found. The Company&#8217;s Board of Directors (the &#8220;Board&#8221;) has begun an external search process to identify Mr. Duda&#8217;s successor. The timing of Mr. Duda&#8217;s retirement is subject to the identification of a new chief executive officer and is currently
        expected to be after the completion of the Company&#8217;s fiscal year ending April 27, 2024. Mr. Duda has agreed to offer his resignation as a director as of the appointment of his successor.</div>

      <div style="font-size: 10pt;">&#160;</div>

      <div style="text-align: left; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;">On August 31, 2023, the Company and Mr. Duda executed a Retention, Transition Services and Consulting Agreement (the &#8220;Transition Agreement&#8221;) for the purpose of outlining
        Mr. Duda&#8217;s role in the Company&#8217;s leadership transition following the appointment of his successor and setting his compensation relating to those transition services. The Transition Agreement provides that Mr. Duda will remain in the role of
        President and Chief Executive Officer at the discretion of the Board until a new chief executive officer is hired, at which time he will remain an employee of the Company with such title as may be determined by the Board until the last day of the
        third month following the hiring of his successor (his &#8220;retirement date&#8221;). During that time, he will continue to receive his current base salary and benefits and he will remain eligible for payment of his fiscal 2024 annual bonus award. In no event
        shall his retirement date be later than August 31, 2024.</div>

      <div style="font-size: 10pt;">&#160;</div>

      <div style="text-align: left; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;">Following his retirement date, and subject to the conditions outlined in the Transition Agreement (including his execution of a standard release), Mr. Duda will be
        engaged as a consultant for a period of nine months in order to assist the Company with respect to the transition of his duties and responsibilities. During such time, Mr. Duda will be paid a consulting fee in the amount of $350,000 per month,
        prorated for any partial months of services. Mr. Duda will also be restricted under the Transition Agreement from engaging in certain activities in competition with the Company and its subsidiaries or from soliciting suppliers, vendors, customers
        or employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, for a period ending fifteen months after the end of the consulting period.</div>

      <div style="font-size: 10pt;"><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;"><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-weight: bold;">Chicago, IL &#8211; August 31, 2023 &#8211; Methode Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: MEI)</font><font style="font-size: 10pt;">, a leading global supplier of custom-engineered solutions for user interface, LED lighting system and power distribution applications, announced today that Donald W. Duda, President and Chief Executive Officer, will
          retire from Methode. He will continue to lead the company until a successor has been named and will work with the new CEO through a transition period, which is expected to conclude during fiscal 2025.</font></div>
      <div style="font-size: 10pt;"><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;">Methode's Board of Directors, with the assistance of executive search firm Spencer Stuart, has already begun an external search process to identify Mr. Duda's
        successor. Mr. Duda has agreed to offer his resignation as a director as of the appointment of his successor.</div>
      <div style="font-size: 10pt;"><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;">Mr. Duda has been with Methode since 2000 and has served as CEO for the last 19 years. Under his leadership, Methode grew sales from $359 million in fiscal 2004 to
        $1.2 billion in fiscal 2023. The growth was driven both organically and with successful acquisitions such as Grakon and, most recently, Nordic Lights. During his tenure, the Methode team embarked on a program to improve the company&#8217;s manufacturing
        and global footprint and acquire key technologies &#8211; all with the goal of transforming Methode into a premier design, engineering, and manufacturing enterprise to multinational OEMs and, in recent years, into a key electric vehicle and industrial
        supplier, including LED lighting solutions.</div>
      <div style="font-size: 10pt;"><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;">"Leading Methode has been a tremendous journey, and I am incredibly proud of all that our team has achieved to grow the company," said Mr. Duda. "Having served 19
        years as CEO, it is time for the next successful stage of the Methode journey to begin. The company will continue to flourish given the exceptional team in place and a strategy that is positioned for growth. Methode's brightest days are truly still
        ahead."</div>
      <div style="font-size: 10pt;"><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;">Speaking on behalf of Methode's Board of Directors, Chairman Walter J. Aspatore said: "I would like to thank Don for his outstanding contributions to Methode and wish
        him the very best. Methode is well-positioned to continue on its path of growth and to drive value creation for our shareholders, customers, and employees. The Board is actively executing the process to hire a successor. Until then, Don will
        continue in his current role, providing the strong leadership that he has exhibited over his entire tenure."</div>
      <div style="font-size: 10pt;"><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;">Methode will release its first quarter fiscal 2024 results for the period ended July 29, 2023, on Thursday, September 7, 2023, before the market opens. Following the
        release, the company will conduct a conference call and webcast to review financial and operational highlights led by its President and Chief Executive Officer, Donald W. Duda, and Chief Financial Officer, Ronald L. G. Tsoumas, at 10:00 a.m. CDT.</div>
