Dear Norman:

We want to give you notice that we are declining to stand for reelection to the Board of Directors at the upcoming Annual Meeting due to disagreements with the management of the company regarding executive personnel and corporate governance matters.

We have enjoyed our time as members of the Board of Directors and wish Bio-Rad continued success in the future.

Regards,
