This Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2011 (as amended and supplemented, the “Schedule TO”) by Coleman Cable, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Coleman”), and Clearwater Acquisition I, Inc., a Florida corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Coleman (the “Purchaser”). This Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Purchaser to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.51 per share (together with the associated stock purchase rights, the “Shares”), of Technology Research Corporation, a Florida corporation (“TRC”), that are not already owned by Coleman, the Purchaser or their affiliates at $7.20 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated April 12, 2011 (as it may be amended or supplemented, the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which were filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii), respectively (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO.

Items 1 through 9 and 11.

Items 1 through 9 and 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

“The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Friday, May 13, 2011 (the end of the day on Friday). The Offer was not extended. The Depositary has advised Coleman that a total of 5,702,446 Shares were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn upon expiration of the Offer (including 49,538 Shares subject to guaranteed delivery procedures). The number of Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn upon expiration of the Offer represents approximately 84.6% of all outstanding Shares. The Purchaser has accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Offer. Prior to the consummation of the Offer, Coleman owned approximately 4.8% of the Shares which, together with the Shares accepted for payment in the Offer, represent approximately 89.4% of the Shares.

On May 16, 2011, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser completed the Merger in accordance with the provisions of Florida law that authorize the completion of the Merger without a vote or meeting of the stockholders of TRC. TRC was the surviving corporation in the Merger and, as a result of the Merger, has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Coleman. In the Merger, each Share (other than Shares owned by Coleman, the Purchaser or any of their subsidiaries) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $7.20 per Share in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes.

Coleman issued a press release on Monday, May 16, 2011, announcing the expiration and results of the Offer and a press release announcing the completion of the Merger. The full text of the press releases are attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(5)(iii) and (a)(5)(iv) and are incorporated herein by reference.”
