EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 supplements and amends the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed by Mesa Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 20, 2018 (the “Proxy Statement”), in order to correct errors in the Summary Compensation table for our named executive officers included in the Executive Compensation section of the Proxy Statement which was originally set forth on page 15 of the Proxy Statement. Specifically, the “Salary” and “Option Awards” figures originally presented for John J. Sullivan for 2018 contained a typographical error and did not sum to the correctly presented total. All other items of the Proxy Statement are incorporated herein by reference without changes.

Except as specifically discussed in this Explanatory Note, this Amendment No. 1 does not otherwise modify or update any other disclosures presented in the Proxy Statement. In addition, this Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the date of the Proxy Statement or modify or update disclosures that may have been affected by subsequent events.
