Exhibits		Description
3(i).1		Second Articles of Amendment to Restated Articles of Incorporation of LOUD Technologies Inc., as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Washington on June 30, 2008
3.1(i).2		Third Articles of Amendment to Restated Articles of Incorporation of LOUD Technologies Inc., as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Washington on June 30, 2008

The Company previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 6, 2008 that Sun Mackie, LLC (“Sun Mackie”) submitted a proposal on November 3, 2008 to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock not currently held by Sun Mackie for a cash purchase price of $1.45 per share. The Company and Sun Mackie have determined that they are unable to complete the proposed going private transaction. Over the past two months the independent Special Committee appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors and the Special Committee’s advisors have worked with Sun Mackie to determine a mutually acceptable transaction structure. The Washington Business Corporation Act limits Sun Mackie’s ability to acquire the Company through a merger due to the application of the “fair price” provisions in the Washington Takeover Act, which would require payment by Sun Mackie of a statutorily determined price well in excess of the common stock’s current value absent compliance with other procedural provisions of the statute. Due to these and other structuring limitations, the Company and Sun Mackie were unable to agree upon a mutually agreeable structure for the proposed transaction that would achieve Sun Mackie’s goal of acquiring all of the Company’s shares not owned by Sun Mackie.
