LeCroy Corporation Partners with Bogatin Enterprises

Acquisition of Bogatin Enterprises Enables Combination of Advanced Signal Integrity

Technologies with Training Classes and Publications for Design Engineers

Chestnut Ridge, NY, July 6, 2011- LeCroy Corporation (NASDAQ: LCRY), a leading supplier of oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers and serial data test solutions has acquired Bogatin Enterprises, a leading provider of training and publications that help engineers transform complex signal integrity problems into practical design solutions. Bogatin Enterprises’ methodology is based on identifying the root cause of problems and eliminating them early in the design cycle.

“Dr. Eric Bogatin, president of Bogatin Enterprises, has been setting the standard as a signal integrity expert and distinguished lecturer for more than 20 years, and he will continue to do so in association with LeCroy,” said LeCroy President and Chief Executive Officer Tom Reslewic. “Our acquisition of Bogatin Enterprises will not only advance knowledge in the signal integrity field, but also greatly benefit LeCroy’s customers. The combination of LeCroy’s innovative products and training from Bogatin Enterprises will enable engineers to be more effective and valuable to their design teams. This new partnership also will serve as a channel for direct feedback about real-world challenges that will improve our products and lead to the development of next-generation technology.”

“Our classes accelerate engineers up the learning curve by strengthening engineering intuition,” said Dr. Bogatin. “A key ingredient in our training is leveraging commercially available tools to achieve an acceptable solution faster. LeCroy’s signal integrity measurement and analysis products offer a rich source of practical examples. Our community of students and partners will now be able to see many of the principles, processes and solutions demonstrated with state of the art tools.”
