Exhibit A

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- ---------------------


         MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - April 11, 2000 - Irwin L. Jacobs announced
today that he and investors with whom he was associated have decided to withdraw
the offer dated February 24, 2000 to acquire Sheldahl, Inc. Although he believes
that the company must continue to explore strategic alternatives to maximize
shareholder value, including a possible sale of the micro-products plant in
Longmont, Colorado, efforts to achieve this through an acquisition led by him
would be difficult, if not impossible, because of the possible application of
certain provisions of the Minnesota corporate anti-takeover statute.
