_______________________________

1 Although the duty to file reports under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, has been terminated with respect to the Brady Matched 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”), the duty to file reports under Section 13(a) or 15(d) remains with respect to Brady Corporation Class A Nonvoting Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”).
2 The Plan no longer offers Common Stock as an investment option. Therefore, interests in the Plan no longer require registration. Accordingly, this Form 15 is being filed solely to suspend the Plan’s duty to file reports under Section 15(d), including on Form 11-K.




Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Brady Matched 401(k) Plan has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
