</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">This Amendment No.&nbsp;4 amends the Rule&nbsp;13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule&nbsp;13E-3 initially filed
on October&nbsp;1, 2010 and amended by Amendment No.&nbsp;1 filed on November&nbsp;4, 2010, Amendment No.&nbsp;2 filed
on December&nbsp;3, 2010 and Amendment No.&nbsp;3 filed on December&nbsp;16, 2010 (as amended, the &#147;Transaction
Statement&#148;), and is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) by Bell
Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;) in connection with a proposed transaction
to deregister its shares of common stock under the federal securities laws. This Amendment No.&nbsp;4
is being filed pursuant to Rule&nbsp;13e-3(d)(3) as a final amendment to the Transaction Statement
solely to report the results of the Rule&nbsp;13e-3 transaction described below. Except as set forth in
this Amendment No.&nbsp;4, all information in this Transaction Statement remains unchanged.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">On December&nbsp;16, 2010, the Company filed with the SEC a definitive proxy statement on Schedule&nbsp;14A,
pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;),
relating to the solicitation of proxies of shareholders to approve the reincorporation of Bell
Industries, Inc., a California corporation (&#147;Bell California&#148;), from California to Delaware by
means of a merger with and into the Company, a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary (the
&#147;reincorporation&#148;) and to approve a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the &#147;reverse stock split&#148;). The
reincorporation and the reverse stock split were approved and adopted by the shareholders of Bell
California at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on January&nbsp;28, 2011.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The reincorporation was effected pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
March&nbsp;17, 2011 (the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;). A Certificate of Merger was filed with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware and the Secretary of State of the State of California on that same
date. On the effective date of the reincorporation, the issued and outstanding shares of common
stock, without par value, of Bell California automatically converted into shares of the common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company on a one-for-one basis, and the Company succeeded
to all the assets, liabilities and business of Bell California. The reincorporation did not result
in any change in the business, management, location of the principal executive offices, assets or
liabilities of Bell California. As a result of the reincorporation, the Company became the
successor corporation to Bell California under the Exchange Act, with respect to its common stock
and will succeed to Bell California&#146;s reporting obligations thereunder.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">In addition, on March&nbsp;21, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of
Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the reverse stock
split. As a result of the reverse stock split, shareholders owning fewer than 20 shares prior to
the reverse stock split and holders of fractional shares that otherwise have resulted from the
reverse stock split are entitled to a cash payment in an amount equal to $1.85 per share of common
stock (on a pre-reverse stock split basis) or $37.00 (on a post-reverse stock split basis) held
immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split. Such shareholders no longer have
an ownership interest in the Company.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Based on the information available to the Company as of the date hereof, the reverse stock split
reduced the number of record holders of common stock of the Company to less than 300. The Company
will file a Certification of Notice of Termination of Registration on Form&nbsp;15 with the SEC to
terminate registration of its common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to suspend
its periodic reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. Upon the filing of the Form&nbsp;15, the
Company&#146;s obligations to file periodic reports with the SEC, including annual reports on Form 10-K
and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, will be suspended.
