2023 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

September 22, 2023

PROXY STATEMENT

GENERAL

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are furnished to stockholders of SigmaTron International, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Company’s Board of Directors for use at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or any adjournment or postponement thereof (sometimes referred to herein as the “Meeting”) to be held at the offices of the Company, located at 2201 Landmeier Road, Elk Grove Village, Illinois, 60007, at 10:00 a.m. local time, on Friday, September 22, 2023, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. This Proxy Statement, the form of proxy card included herewith, and the Company’s Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, are being mailed to stockholders on or about August 24, 2023.

Stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 25, 2023, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. On such date, there were outstanding 6,091,288 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Meeting. In deciding all matters presented to the stockholders for a vote at the Meeting, each holder of common stock shall be entitled to one vote, in person or by proxy, for each outstanding share of common stock held on the record date.

If you are a stockholder of record (that is, if you hold your shares in certificate form or if your shares are registered in your name on the books of the Company’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, as of the close of business on July 25, 2023), and attend the Meeting in person, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person. However, if you hold your shares in “street name” (not registered in your name): (a) you must return your voting instructions to your broker or nominee so that the holder of record can be instructed how to vote those shares; or (b) if you wish to attend the Meeting and vote in person, you must obtain and bring to the Meeting a proxy signed by the record holder giving you the right to vote the shares on their behalf. (You may not use the voting instruction form provided by your broker or nominee to vote in person at the Meeting.)

The stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 25, 2023 and present in person or by proxy at the Meeting will be tabulated by the election inspector appointed for the Meeting, who will also determine whether or not a quorum is present. The election inspector will treat abstentions as shares that are present and entitled to vote. Abstentions will have the same effect as negative votes on (i) the proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to remove the creditor compromise provision set forth in Article NINTH of the current Certificate of Incorporation and referred to on this Proxy Statement as the “Creditor Compromise Amendment” and (ii) the proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to add officer exculpation to Article SEVENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation and referred to in this Proxy Statement as the “Exculpation Amendment.” Abstentions will have no effect on (i) the proposal to elect two Class III directors, (ii) the proposal to ratify the selection of the auditor, (iii) the proposal related to the advisory approval on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers (as that term is defined in the section titled “Summary Compensation Table”), and (iv) the proposal related to the advisory approval regarding the recommendation to select a frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. For holders of shares held in street name, if the beneficial owner does not provide voting instructions as to “non-routine matters” (such as, as relevant to the Meeting, the election of directors, amendments of the Company’s certificate of incorporation and the advisory votes on executive compensation and the frequency of that rate), then the broker is not permitted to vote on behalf of the beneficial owner on that matter (“Broker Non-Votes”). If there is at least one “routine” matter (such as, as relevant to the Meeting, ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent auditors), Broker Non-Votes will be deemed to be present for purposes of determining whether a

1

quorum is present at the Meeting. Broker Non-Votes will have the same effect as negative votes on (i) the proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to remove the creditor compromise provision set forth in Article NINTH of the current Certificate of Incorporation and referred to on this Proxy Statement as the “Creditor Compromise Amendment” and (ii) the proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to add officer exculpation to Article SEVENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation and referred to in this Proxy Statement as the “Exculpation Amendment.” Broker Non-Votes will have no effect on (i) the proposal to elect two Class III directors, (ii) the proposal to ratify the selection of the auditor, (iii) the proposal related to the advisory approval on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers (as that term is defined in the section titled “Summary Compensation Table”), and (iv) the proposal related to the advisory approval regarding the recommendation to select a frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.

Properly executed proxy cards will be voted in the manner directed by the relevant stockholders of record. If no direction is indicated on a proxy card, the shares represented by such proxy card will be voted (i) FOR the election of each nominee named under the caption “Election of two Class III Directors” as set forth therein as a Director of the Company, (ii) FOR the approval and adoption of the Creditor Compromise Amendment, (iii) FOR the approval and adoption of the Exculpation Amendment, (iv) FOR the ratification of the selection of BDO USA, LLP as the Company’s registered public accountants, (v) FOR the advisory vote on the approval of the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers and (vi) FOR a three-year frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation. If a quorum is present at the Meeting, the two Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. The approval and adoption of each of the Creditor Compromise Amendment and the Exculpation Amendment require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding on the record date. The ratification of each of the selection of auditors and the non-binding, advisory vote on the proposal related to the vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers requires an affirmative vote by a majority of the votes cast by shareholders present at the Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting. The non-binding, advisory recommendation of the stockholders regarding the frequency of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation requires an affirmative majority of votes cast by stockholders present at the Meeting and entitled to vote; however, if none of the options receives a majority vote, then the Company will consider that the stockholders have recommended the option (1, 2 or 3 years) that receives the greatest number of votes cast. Any other matters submitted for stockholder approval at the Meeting will be decided by a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders constituting a quorum at the Meeting unless such matter is one for which an express provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Nasdaq rules requires a different vote, in which case such different vote will decide the matter. Any proxy may be revoked by the stockholder at any time prior to the voting thereof by notice in writing to the Secretary of the Company, either prior to the Meeting (at the above address) or at the Meeting if the stockholder attends in person. A later dated proxy will revoke a prior dated proxy.

All expenses incurred in the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. In addition to the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited on behalf of the Company by Directors, Officers, and Employees of the Company by telephone, e-mail, or telecopy. The Company will reimburse brokers and others holding common stock as nominees for their expenses in sending proxy material to the beneficial owners of such common stock and obtaining their proxies.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Stockholders Meeting to be held on September 22, 2023.

The Proxy Statement and Annual Report are available at http://www.sigmatronintl.com

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors knows of no other matters which will be presented for consideration at the Meeting. If other proper matters are presented at the Meeting, however, the proxy holders will vote in their discretion on such matters.

The information contained in this Proxy Statement relating to the occupations and security holdings of Directors and Officers of the Company and their transactions with the Company is based upon information received from each individual as of July 25, 2023.

1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Company’s Board of Directors consists of six directors being: (1) Gary R. Fairhead; (2) Linda K. Frauendorfer; (3) Bruce J. Mantia; (4) Paul J. Plante; (5) Thomas W. Rieck; and (6) Dilip S. Vyas. Pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is divided into three classes of Directors, each serving overlapping three-year terms. The term of the Class III Directors (Messrs. Fairhead and Vyas) expires in 2023. The term of Class I Directors (Ms. Frauendorfer and Messrs. Rieck and Mantia) expires in 2024; the term of the Class II Director (Mr. Plante) expires in 2025. The second Class II directorship was occupied by Barry R. Horek until the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, at which time he decided not to seek re-election and resigned, leaving one vacancy in Class II. All Directors of each class will hold their positions until the annual meeting of stockholders in the year indicated above, at which time the term of the Directors in such class expires, or until their respective successors are elected and qualified, subject in all cases to any such Director’s earlier death, resignation, or removal.

The Board of Directors has determined that each of the Directors of the Company, with the exception of Mr. Fairhead and Ms. Frauendorfer, are independent under the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) listing standards and the rules of the SEC.

Nominees for Election as Class III Directors at the Meeting

If a quorum is present at the Meeting, two Class III Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders constituting a quorum at the Meeting, each to serve until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until such Director’s successor shall be elected and qualified, subject to such Director’s earlier death, resignation, or removal. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes will have no effect on the vote. Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if the authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of each of the two nominees named below. The stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of Directors. The following persons have been nominated for election at the Meeting as Class III Directors:

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote in favor of the two nominees named above.

The Board of Directors knows of no reason why either of the foregoing two nominees will be unavailable or will decline to serve, but, in the event of any such unavailability, the proxy holders will vote any proxy card in favor of such substitute nominee as the Board of Directors may recommend. The enclosed proxy card cannot be voted for more than two persons.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our Board of Directors determined that each of Messrs. Mantia, Plante, Rieck and Vyas are independent under the rules of Nasdaq. Accordingly, our Board of Directors currently has a majority of independent Directors under the rules of Nasdaq. Our Board of Directors has determined that our independent Directors shall have regularly scheduled meetings at which only the independent Directors are present. Generally, the independent Directors meet separately at each regularly scheduled Board meeting.

Director Committees

In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder, the Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating Committee. Each Committee operates pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee Charter, Compensation Committee Charter and the Nominating Committee Charter are available on the Company’s website at www.sigmatronintl.com by clicking on “Investors”. The Company believes that the composition of these committees meets the criteria for independence under, and the functioning of these committees complies with, the applicable requirements of the current listing standards of Nasdaq and the applicable SEC rules and regulations.

The functions of the Audit Committee are to: (1) select and evaluate the performance of the independent accountants; (2) review the audits of the financial statements of the Company and the scope of the audit; (3) review with the independent accountants the corporate accounting and financial reporting practices and policies and recommend to whom reports should be submitted within the Company; (4) review with the independent accountants their final report; (5) review with the internal and independent accountants overall accounting and financial controls; (6) be available to the independent accountants and management for consultation purposes; and (7) oversee the Company’s compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Audit Committee is currently comprised of three members: Messrs. Rieck (Chairman), Mantia and Plante. The Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee is independent under the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq and that Mr. Rieck qualifies as an Audit Committee financial expert as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act.

The functions of the Compensation Committee are to: (1) review and recommend to the Board of Directors annual salaries and bonuses for all Executive Officers of the Company; (2) review and recommend to the Board of Directors compensation for the Directors; (3) review and recommend to the Board of Directors the terms and conditions of compensation policies, plans and benefit programs or changes thereto that relate to Executive Officers and Directors, excluding such plans that are available generally to all salaried employees; and (4) oversee the design and administration of the Company’s equity compensation and incentive plans. While the Chief Executive Officer of the Company may make recommendations regarding such salaries, compensation and terms and conditions of employment, the Compensation Committee reviews any such recommendations independently and is responsible for making final recommendations to the full Board of Directors. Messrs. Mantia (Chairman), Plante, and Vyas are members of the Compensation Committee. The Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of the Compensation Committee is independent under the listing standards of Nasdaq. The Compensation Committee has authority to select and hire outside consultants and shall have full access to the Human Resources Department or other Company employees to assist in the evaluation of Executive Officer compensation and may approve the fees and other retention terms of any consultants hired by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may also obtain advice and assistance from legal, accounting or other advisors selected by the Compensation Committee.

The functions of the Nominating Committee are to: (1) review and recommend to the Board of Directors the composition of the Board of Directors and a slate of nominees for each election of members to the Board of Directors; (2) review and recommend changes to the number, classification and term of Directors; (3) identify and recommend to the Board of Directors candidates to fill appointments to Board committees; (4) develop, assess and make recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning appropriate corporate governance policies; (5) identify and recommend to the Board of Directors candidates to fill a vacancy in the offices of Chief

7

Executive Officer or President; (6) review nominations by stockholders in accordance with the nomination process and to establish the procedures by which stockholder candidates will be considered; and (7) oversee the conduct of annual reviews of Directors. The members of the Nominating Committee are Messrs. Vyas (Chairman), Mantia and Rieck. The Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of the Nominating Committee is independent under Nasdaq listing standards.

The Nominating Committee begins the process of identifying Director candidates by evaluating the current composition of the Board, the Company’s operating requirements, and the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. To fill a vacancy, the Nominating Committee would use its network of contacts to compile a list of potential candidates, but may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The Nominating Committee conducts all appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates after considering the function and needs of the Board. In the case of incumbent Directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Nominating Committee reviews such Directors’ overall service during their term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance, and any other relationships, transactions or circumstances that might impair such Directors’ independence or future service. The Nominating Committee meets to discuss and consider each candidate’s qualifications and then selects those it considers to be appropriate nominees by majority vote for recommendation to the Board. To date, the Nominating Committee has not paid a fee to any third party to assist in the process of identifying or evaluating Director candidates.

In evaluating and determining whether to recommend a person as a candidate for election as a Director, the Nominating Committee’s criteria reflects the requirements of the Nasdaq rules with respect to independence as well as the following factors: the needs of the Company with respect to the particular talents and experience of its Directors; personal and professional integrity of the candidate; the level of education and/or business experience of the candidate; broad-based business acumen of the candidate; the candidate’s level of understanding of the Company’s business and the electronic manufacturing services industry; the candidate’s abilities for strategic thinking and willingness to share ideas; and the Board of Directors’ need for diversity of experiences, expertise and background. The Nominating Committee will use these criteria to evaluate all potential nominees.

The Company does not have a diversity policy with respect to its Directors. However, in considering whether to recommend any Director nominee, including candidates recommended by stockholders, the Nominating Committee will consider the factors above, including the candidate’s diversity of experiences, expertise, ethnicity, gender, and background. The Nominating Committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria, and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees. The Company believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of the Directors, considered as a group, should provide a significant mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow the Board of Directors to fulfill its responsibilities.

The Nominating Committee will consider proposed nominees whose names are submitted to it by stockholders. The Nominating Committee has not adopted a formal process for that purpose because it believes that the Nominating Committee’s process for considering stockholder nominees has been and remains adequate. Historically, stockholders have not proposed any nominees. The Nominating Committee intends to review periodically whether a formal process should be adopted, including whether all stockholder nominations comply with the notice provisions of the Company’s by-laws, which are described in the section titled “Miscellaneous.”

Board Diversity

Each of the categories listed in the below table has the meaning as it is used in Nasdaq Rule 5605(f).

Board Diversity Matrix

Of our six current directors, two (33.33%) identify as having at least one diversity characteristic (i.e. female, non-binary, LGBTQ+ or race or ethnicity other than white).

Board Meetings

The Board of Directors held 21 meetings either in person or by telephone conference during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023. The Compensation Committee held 7 meetings in person or by telephone conference and the Audit Committee held 7 meetings in person or by telephone conference or action by unanimous written consent during the fiscal year 2023. The Nominating Committee held 2 meetings in person or by telephone conference during the fiscal year 2023. All Directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and each of the committees of which they were members. In fact, all Directors attended at least 90% of the meetings of the Board and each of the committees of which they were members. The Company has a policy of encouraging all Directors to attend in person the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. All Directors attended the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, either in person or telephonically.

Board Observer

In connection with the merger that resulted in Wagz, Inc. (“Wagz”) becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as of December 31, 2021, the Company and Terry B. Anderton entered into a letter agreement granting Mr. Anderton rights as a non-voting observer to the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Anderton occupied that position until March 31, 2023, when, in connection with the Company’s sale of the majority of its interest in Wagz, the Company and Mr. Anderton terminated the letter agreement.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The Company believes that the service of Gary R. Fairhead as both Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. Mr. Fairhead possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the opportunities and challenges facing the Company and is thus best positioned to develop agendas that ensure that the Board’s time and attention are focused on the most critical matters. The Board believes his role as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer promotes consistent leadership, engenders accountability, and enhances the Company’s ability to communicate its message and strategy clearly

9

and consistently to its stockholders, employees, and customers. The Company believes the Board’s administration of its risk oversight function to date has had a positive effect on the Board’s leadership structure.

Consistent with the Company’s corporate governance guidelines and because Mr. Fairhead is the Chairman of the Board as well as Chief Executive Officer, the Board has designated one of its members to serve as a Lead Independent Director (“Lead Independent Director”). Dilip S. Vyas was appointed Lead Independent Director by all the Directors in September 2011, and he continues to serve in that role. Mr. Vyas’ responsibilities include the following roles:

The Company believes that it maintains strong corporate governance processes intended to ensure that its independent Directors will continue to effectively monitor management and provide leadership on key issues such as strategy, risk, and integrity. The Board has primary responsibility for the oversight of risks to the Company and has assigned to its committees the oversight of risks applicable to their particular area. Each committee of the Board is comprised solely of independent Directors. Consequently, independent Directors oversee such critical matters as the integrity of financial statements; the compensation of Executive Officers, including the Chief Executive Officer; financial commitments for capital projects; the selection and evaluation of Directors and Executive Officers; and the development and implementation of corporate governance programs. Each Board committee and the independent Directors as a group routinely have independent sessions without management present.

Management, the Company’s Corporate Counsel, and the Board of Directors discuss risks, both during and outside of Board meetings. These discussions identify Company risks, which are prioritized and assigned to the appropriate Board committee or the full Board for oversight. Internal control and financial risks are overseen by the Audit Committee; compensation risks are overseen by the Compensation Committee; Chief Executive Officer succession planning is overseen by the Nominating Committee and reviewed by the independent Directors; compliance risks are typically referred to the full Board; and matters arising under the Company’s Code of Conduct or Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Management are handled by Corporate Counsel. Management regularly reports on each risk to the relevant committee or the Board, and material risks identified by a relevant committee are then presented to the full Board. The Company’s risk management program as a whole is reviewed annually at a meeting of the Board. The Board typically sets aside a portion of its regular quarterly meetings to review in depth with management different areas of risk management on a rotating basis; topics in the past fiscal year included the component marketplace, cyber security, and insurance. Additional review or reporting on Company risks is conducted as needed or as requested by the Board or one of its committees. Coordination of management’s review of these risks is performed by the Company’s Corporate Counsel.

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors

Stockholders can contact the Board of Directors or any of the individual Directors by contacting: Miriam Leskovar Burkland, Corporate Counsel, Howard & Howard Attorneys PLLC, by regular mail at 200 South Michigan Avenue, Suite 1100, Chicago, IL 60604. Inquiries will be reviewed, sorted, and summarized by the Corporate Counsel before they will be forwarded to the Board of Directors or to an individual Director.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

The Company paid non-employee Directors $5,250 per month. The Chairmen of the Audit and Compensation Committees were paid an additional $450 and $175 per month, respectively. The Lead Independent Director received an additional $180 per month. In accordance with Company policy, directors who are also employees of the Company do not receive the remuneration described in this paragraph. In addition, non-employee Directors are awarded restricted stock pursuant to the 2021 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan (the “Director Plan”).

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION TABLE

It is the Company’s policy to compensate only non-employee Directors.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Management (the “Code”). The Code applies to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and other employees of the Company performing similar senior financial management functions. The Code is available on the “Investors” page on the Company’s website at www.sigmatronintl.com. The Company intends to post any amendments to or waivers under the Code to its website. It also will comply with applicable law by issuing a Report on Form 8-K if a waiver is granted under the Code. Upon written request, the Company will provide a copy of the Code free of charge. Requests should be directed to the Company at 2201 Landmeier Road, Elk Grove Village, Illinois 60007, Attention: James J. Reiman, Secretary.

SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE

The individuals listed in the following table are referred to as our “Named Executive Officers” throughout this Proxy Statement. The following table sets forth a summary of all compensation paid by the Company for its fiscal years ended April 30, 2023, and 2022 to the Company’s Named Executive Officers:

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Employee Bonus Plan

On September 16, 2022 the Board of Directors adopted the SigmaTron International, Inc. Employee Bonus Plan for Fiscal Year 2023 (“Employee Plan”) applicable to all U.S. payroll non-union employees of the Company (“Employee Participants”), all full-time employees of the Company with a corporate position of vice president or higher (“Officers”) and all employees designated by the Company as an executive officer pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Executive Officers”).

The stated purpose of the Employee Plan is to align stockholder, employee, and officer objectives, to motivate employees of the Company and to increase stockholder value. The Employee Plan is administered and interpreted by the Board and, in its entirety, is subject to amendment, suspension or termination by the Board.

Pursuant to the Employee Plan, a Bonus Pool, calculated as a percentage of Pre-Tax Income (as defined in the Employee Plan) pursuant to the scale set forth in the Employee Plan, was created. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer submitted to the Compensation Committee a recommendation (i) of target objectives for each Executive Officer and (ii) for a specified percentage or dollar allocation of the Bonus Pool for each Executive Officer and Officer, individually, and all of the Employee Participants, in the aggregate. The Compensation Committee reviewed such submissions for recommendation to the Board. Awards to Executive Officers under

13

the Employee Plan were based, in part, on the Executive Officer achieving the Executive Officer’s specified target objectives and, in any event, were subject to the sole discretion of the Board. Awards to Employee Participants under the Employee Plan were contingent upon the Company being in compliance with all of the Company’s covenants under its credit facilities or having obtained a waiver thereof, at the end of the Company’s 2023 fiscal year.

The Named Executive Officers earned $417,000 in bonuses pursuant to the Employee Plan.

Termination of Employment and Change in Control Plan

The Company adopted an Amended and Restated Change in Control Severance Payment Plan on March 11, 2014 (the “CIC Plan”), which covers Named Executive Officers and certain other Officers of the Company (each a “CIC Participant”). Under the terms of the CIC Plan, each CIC Participant is entitled to the payment of severance pay in the event such CIC Participant’s employment with the Company is involuntarily terminated within twenty-four months of a “change in control” of the Company, as defined in the CIC Plan. The amount of severance pay to which a CIC Participant may be entitled under the CIC Plan is a function of the CIC Participant’s average income paid by the Company to such CIC Participant for five calendar years ending immediately prior to the change in control.

In general, for purposes of the CIC Plan, a change in control will be deemed to have occurred when (a) the acquisition by an entity, person or group of beneficial ownership, as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of more than 20% in the aggregate of the outstanding capital stock of the Company entitled to vote for the election of directors, (b) as a result of, or in connection with, any cash tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination, sale of assets or contested election, or any combination of the foregoing transactions, the persons who are directors of the Company before the transaction shall cease to constitute a majority of the board or the board of directors of any successor to the Company, (c) the Company becomes a party to a merger, consolidation or share exchange in which either (i) the Company will not be the surviving company or (ii) the Company will be the surviving company and any outstanding shares of common stock of the Company will be converted into shares of any other company (other than a reincorporation or the establishment of a holding company involving no change of ownership of the Company) or other securities or cash or other property (excluding payments made solely for fractional shares), (d) more than 50% of the assets and business of the Company are sold, transferred or assigned to, or otherwise acquired by, any other unrelated entity or entities, or (e) all or substantially all of the assets and business of a CIC Participant’s operation are sold, transferred or assigned to, or otherwise acquired by, any other unrelated entity or entities (“Change in Control”). In general, a CIC Participant’s employment will be deemed to have been involuntarily terminated under the CIC Plan in the event of such employee’s termination by the Company for a reason other than (w) for cause (as defined in the Plan), (x) death, (y) disability, or (z) that employee’s voluntary retirement or resignation except on account of the reasons set forth in the CIC Plan (which in general would result in a constructive discharge).

The CIC Plan provides for automatic reduction of the amounts to be paid out under the CIC Plan in the event such amounts would constitute “parachute payments” under the Internal Revenue Code. Disputes concerning the CIC Plan and benefits under the CIC Plan are subject to arbitration.

The amounts below shown for Compensation Actually Paid have been calculated in accordance with SEC rules, do not represent the value of cash and equity awards received by our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs during the years and differ from compensation actually earned, realized or received by the individuals.

The calculation of Compensation Actually Paid begins with the information provided in the Summary Compensation Table for the individual (see page 14) and is adjusted as required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, as noted in the footnotes below.

2. PROPOSAL TO APPROVE AND ADOPT THE CREDITOR COMPROMISE AMENDMENT

Overview

The second proposal on the agenda for the Meeting is approval and adoption of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to remove the text of Article NINTH from the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and replace such text with “Intentionally Omitted” (the “Creditor Compromise Amendment”). Article NINTH is known as a “creditor compromise” provision. That provision currently reads as follows:

“Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware, may, on the application in a summary way of the Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of the Corporation as consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, and also on the Corporation.”

This creditor compromise provision has been in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation since 1993.

Section 102(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware permits a Delaware corporation such as the Company to include in its certificate of incorporation a compromise with creditors provision like the one contained in Article NINTH of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. Such a compromise with creditors provision permits a compromise or arrangement proposed between the Delaware corporation and its creditors or any class of creditors or between the Delaware corporation and its stockholders or any class of its stockholders to be presented to a Delaware state court having equitable jurisdiction (such as the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware) by, among others, the corporation or any creditor or stockholder of the corporation, in order for such court to order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, or the stockholders or class of stockholders, as applicable, to consider such compromise or arrangement and, if approved by such creditors or stockholders, as applicable, and sanctioned by such court, be binding on the corporation such creditors or such stockholders, as applicable.

Proposed Action and Reasons

At the Meeting, we are asking our stockholders to approve and adopt the Creditor Compromise Amendment. In light of the remedies that have become available to creditors and debtors under federal bankruptcy laws over the last 25 years, a creditor compromise provision of the certificate of incorporation is not considered as effective a tool to obtain relief as other laws. Article NINTH of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation has never been used by, nor is it expected to be useful to, the Company. Further, and notwithstanding that the proposal to remove Article NINTH at the 2022 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders did not receive sufficient votes to pass, the lender that extended a subordinated term loan to the Company has asked that the Company’s directors approve the removal of Article NINTH, recommend to the stockholders that the stockholders approve the removal of Article NINTH, and include the removal of Article NINTH in the Company’s proxy materials for the Meeting. For these reasons, the Board of Directors believes that it is in the Company’s best interests to approve and adopt the Creditor Compromise Amendment.

On June 29, 2023, our Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve and adopt the Creditor Compromise Amendment and recommend to the stockholders that they approve and adopt the Creditor

19

Compromise Amendment. Under Delaware corporate law, we are required to obtain approval from our stockholders to amend the Certificate of Incorporation.

Accordingly, we are asking our stockholders to vote on the following resolutions:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve and adopt an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to delete the text of Article NINTH and insert the following in lieu thereof:

“Intentionally Omitted.”

RESOLVED, FURTHER, that the Company’s Board of Directors may abandon the aforesaid amendment before or after stockholder approval thereof, without further action by the stockholders, at any time prior to the effectiveness of the aforesaid amendment.”

If approved and adopted by our stockholders, unless abandoned by the Board of Directors, the Creditor Compromise Amendment would become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the Meeting by the Company’s filing a Certificate of Amendment setting forth the Creditor Compromise Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State.

Board Recommendation and Required Stockholder Vote

The Board of Directors believes approval and adoption of the Creditor Compromise Amendment is in the Company’s best interests and in the best interests of our stockholders and recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to approve and adopt the Creditor Compromise Amendment.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock as of the record date is required for the approval and adoption of the Creditor Compromise Amendment. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes will have the same effect as votes against the Creditor Compromise Amendment.

3. PROPOSAL TO APPROVE AND ADOPT THE EXCULPATION AMENDMENT

Overview

The third proposal on the agenda for the Meeting is approval and adoption of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to remove the text of Article SEVENTH to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and replace it with the following text in order to provide exculpation to certain officers of the Company (in addition to directors as currently provided in Article SEVENTH) from personal liability to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Exculpation Amendment”):

“A director or officer of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, as applicable, except to the extent that such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any amendment, modification, repeal or elimination of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of the Corporation thereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification, repeal or elimination.”

Proposed Action and Reasons

Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware was amended effective August 1, 2022 to permit the certificate of incorporation of a Delaware corporation like the Company to include a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of certain officers for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty similar to that already permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for directors, except that such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of such officers in any action by or in the right of the corporation (e.g., derivative actions). In addition, Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended effective August 1, 2022, does not permit such a provision of a Delaware corporation’s certificate of incorporation to eliminate or limit the liability of directors or officers for (i) breaches of their duties of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or (iii) any transaction from which he or she derived an improper personal benefit. Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware also does not permit such a provision to eliminate or limit the liability of directors for willful or negligent violations of Section 160 (governing repurchases and redemptions of a Delaware corporation’s shares) or Section 170 (governing dividends) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

The Board of Directors believes it is necessary to provide protection to certain officers to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware in order to attract and retain top talent. The Board of Directors concluded that limiting the scope of officer personal liability strikes an appropriate balance between stockholders’ interest in accountability and their interest in the Company being able to attract and retain quality officers to work on its behalf. Therefore, the Board of Directors determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to approve and adopt the Exculpation Amendment to provide such exculpation to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

On June 29, 2023, our Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve and adopt the Exculpation Amendment and recommend to the stockholders that they approve and adopt the Exculpation Amendment. Under Delaware corporate law, we are required to obtain approval from our stockholders to amend the Certificate of Incorporation.

21

Accordingly, we are asking our stockholders to vote on the following resolutions:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve and adopt an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to delete the text of Article SEVENTH in its entirety and insert the following in lieu thereof:

“A director or officer of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, as applicable, except to the extent that such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any amendment, modification, repeal or elimination of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of the Corporation thereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification, repeal or elimination.”

RESOLVED, FURTHER, that the Company’s Board of Directors may abandon the aforesaid amendment before or after stockholder approval thereof, without further action by the stockholders at any time prior to the effectiveness of the aforesaid amendment.”

If approved by our stockholders, unless abandoned by the Board of Directors, the Exculpation Amendment would become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the Meeting by the Company’s filing a Certificate of Amendment setting forth the Exculpation Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State.

Board Recommendation and Required Stockholder Vote

The Board of Directors believes the Exculpation Amendment is in the Company’s best interests and in the best interests of our stockholders and recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to adopt the Exculpation Amendment.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock on the record date is required for the approval and adoption of the Exculpation Amendment. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes will have the same effect as votes against the Exculpation Amendment.

4. PROPOSAL TO RATIFY SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT

REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The fourth proposal on the agenda for the Meeting is stockholder ratification of appointment of the firm of BDO USA, LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the current fiscal year. Representatives of that firm are expected to be present at the Meeting, have the opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. BDO USA, LLP was appointed by the Audit Committee as the independent registered public accountants for fiscal year 2024.

The ratification of the selection of auditors requires an affirmative vote by a majority of the votes cast by stockholders present at the Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes will have no effect on this proposal.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote in favor of ratification of the selection of BDO USA, LLP as the Company’s registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2024.

AUDIT FEES AND AUDIT RELATED FEES

During fiscal years 2023 and 2022, the Company retained BDO USA, LLP as its auditor to provide services as defined below. The following amounts were charged by BDO USA, LLP for services provided in fiscal years 2023 and 2022.

Fees for audit services billed in 2023 and 2022 consisted of the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements and reviews of quarterly financial statements.

There were no other fees charged by BDO USA, LLP in fiscal years 2023 and 2022.

As described in the Audit Committee Charter, it is the Audit Committee’s policy and procedure to review, consider, and ultimately pre-approve, where appropriate, all audit and non-audit engagement services to be performed by the registered public accountants. The Audit Committee pre-approved all of the services associated with the fees described above.

23

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and discussed with the independent public accounting firm (the “Auditors”) the matters to be discussed with the Audit Committee under the rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”). The Audit Committee has received disclosures and the letter from the Auditors required by the PCAOB regarding the Auditor’s communication with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee has discussed the Auditor’s independence with the Auditors. Based on the review and discussions referred to herein, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This report is submitted by the members of the Committee.

5. ADVISORY VOTE ON APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

(“SAY-ON-PAY PROPOSAL”)

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the fifth proposal on the agenda for the Meeting is stockholder approval, on an advisory, non-binding basis, of the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers (“Say-on-Pay Proposal”). This Say-on-Pay Proposal gives stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the Company’s compensation of its Named Executive Officers disclosed in the executive compensation tables and Executive Compensation Section of this Proxy Statement. This stockholder vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of the Named Executive Officers. The timing of future stockholder votes on compensation for the Company’s Named Executive Officers will be determined by the Board of Directors but will occur no less frequently than every three years.

The Company’s compensation programs for Executive Officers are designed to attract, motivate, and retain talented executives who are critical to the success of the Company. The Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to the Board of Directors compensation paid or awarded to the Company’s Executive Officers. The Company is requesting its stockholders to indicate their support for compensation of its Named Executive Officers by approving the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of SigmaTron International, Inc. approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, in the executive compensation tables and related narrative discussion set forth in the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting Proxy Statement.”

Assuming that a quorum is present, the non-binding, advisory resolution requires an affirmative vote by a majority of the votes cast by stockholders present at the Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes will have no effect on this proposal.

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board of Directors and may not be construed as overruling a decision or creating or implying any change to the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors. However, the Board of Directors values the opinions of the Company’s stockholders and will consider the outcome of the vote when reviewing and recommending future executive compensation arrangements.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote “For” the resolution approving the Company’s compensation of its Named Executive Officers.

6. ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF HOLDING AN ADVISORY

VOTE ON THE SAY-ON-PAY PROPOSAL

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the sixth proposal on the agenda for the Meeting is stockholder recommendation, on an advisory, non-binding basis, regarding the frequency of holding stockholder advisory votes on the Say-on-Pay Proposal. In particular, the stockholders are being asked to vote on whether a Say-on-Pay Proposal advisory vote of stockholders should occur every year, every two years, or every three years or to abstain. The Board of Directors will seek this vote in future years no less frequently than once every six calendar years.

As a result of the advisory vote of the stockholders at the 2022 Annual Stockholders Meeting, the Board of Directors decided to hold at the Meeting, an advisory stockholder vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers. The Board of Directors believes that an advisory stockholder vote every three years on the Say-on-Pay Proposal would be most appropriate for the Company. This would give Company’s stockholders sufficient opportunity to react to emerging trends in executive compensation. In addition, a triennial vote would provide the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors the time to thoughtfully evaluate stockholder reactions and implement any necessary changes to the executive compensation program and

26

compensation decisions. The Company is requesting its stockholders to provide an advisory vote on the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of SigmaTron International, Inc. advise the Company to include a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, every:

Assuming that a quorum is present, the non-binding, advisory recommendation of the stockholders for the frequency of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation will be that choice which receives a majority of votes cast by stockholders present at the Meeting and entitled to vote; however, if none of the options receives a majority vote, then the Company will consider that the stockholders have recommended the option (1, 2 or 3 years) that receives the greatest number of votes cast. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes will have no effect on this proposal.

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board of Directors and may not be construed as overruling a decision by or creating or implying any change to the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors. However, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors value stockholder opinions and will consider the voting results when determining the frequency of future advisory stockholder votes on executive compensation.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that stockholders select “three years” on the proposal recommending the frequency of advisory stockholder votes on executive compensation.
