      Joins the Russell 2000&#174; Index</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 28, 2012--Sypris Solutions, Inc.
      (Nasdaq/NM: SYPR) today announced that it has been added to the Russell
      2000&#174; Index effective June 22, 2012 as a result of the annual
      reconstitution of Russell&#8217;s family of indexes. Inclusion in the Russell
      2000 Index is determined by total market capitalization.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;We are pleased to be added to the Russell 2000 Index, which reflects
      our positive momentum,&#8221; said President and Chief Executive Officer,
      Jeffrey T. Gill. &#8220;We believe our inclusion in the Russell 2000 will help
      increase visibility with investors and institutions that rely on the
      Russell indexes as part of their investment strategy, providing us with
      the opportunity to expand our shareholder base.&quot;
    </p>
    <p>
      Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional
      investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active
      investment strategies. In the institutional marketplace, an
      industry-leading $3.9 trillion in assets currently are benchmarked to
      them. Russell calculates more than 80,000 benchmarks daily covering
      approximately 98 percent of the investable market globally, 83 countries
      and more than 10,000 securities. These investment tools originated from
      Russell&#8217;s multi-manager investment business in the early 1980s when the
      company saw the need for a more objective, market-driven set of
      benchmarks in order to evaluate outside investment managers.

      <i><b>Each &#8220;forward-looking statement&#8221; herein is subject to serious
      risks and should not be relied upon, as detailed in our most recent Form
      10-K and Form 10-Q and subsequent SEC filings.</b> Briefly, we currently
      believe that such risks also include: declining revenues in our
      aerospace and defense business lines as we transition from legacy
      products and services into new market segments and technologies;
      dependence on, recruitment or retention of key employees; reliance on
      major customers or suppliers, especially in the automotive or aerospace
      and defense electronics sectors; U.S. government spending on products
      and services that our Electronics Group provides, including the timing
      of budgetary decisions; our ability to develop new products and programs
      within the Electronics Group; cyber security threats and disruptions;
      potential impairments, non-recoverability or write-offs of goodwill,
      assets or deferred costs, including capitalized pre-contract costs
      related to the development of a replacement for certain aerospace and
      defense products; potential liabilities associated with discontinued
      operations, including post-closing indemnifications or claims related to
      business or asset dispositions; our inability to successfully launch or
      sustain new or next generation programs or product features, especially
      in accordance with budgets or committed delivery schedules; the costs of
      compliance with our auditing, regulatory or contractual obligations;
      regulatory actions or sanctions (in each case including FCPA, OSHA and
      Federal Acquisition Regulations, among others); inventory valuation
      risks including obsolescence, shrinkage, theft, overstocking or
      underbilling; pension valuation, health care or other benefit costs;
      labor relations; strikes; union negotiations; changes in licenses,
      security clearances, or other legal rights to operate, manage our work
      force or import and export as needed; breakdowns, relocations or major
      repairs of machinery and equipment; changes or delays in government or
      other customer budgets, funding or programs; potential weaknesses in
      internal controls over financial reporting and enterprise risk
      management; the cost, efficiency and yield of our operations and capital
      investments, including working capital, production schedules, cycle
      times, scrap rates, injuries, wages, overtime costs, freight or
      expediting costs; disputes or litigation, involving customer, supplier,
      lessor, landlord, creditor, stockholder, product liability or
      environmental claims; the costs and supply of debt, equity capital, or
      insurance; fees, costs or other dilutive effects of refinancing,
      compliance with covenants; cost and availability of raw materials such
      as steel, component parts, natural gas or utilities; volatility of our
      customers&#8217; forecasts, financial conditions, market shares, product
      requirements or scheduling demands; adverse impacts of new technologies
      or other competitive pressures which increase our costs or erode our
      margins; failure to adequately insure or to identify environmental or
      other insurable risks; revised contract prices or estimates of major
      contract costs; risks of foreign operations; currency exchange rates;
      war, terrorism, or political uncertainty; unanticipated or uninsured
      disasters, losses or business risks; inaccurate data about markets,
      customers or business conditions; or unknown risks and uncertainties.</i>
