This Amendment No. 2 (this "Amendment No. 2") amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 previously filed by SigmaTron International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SigmaTron") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on June 26, 2025 (as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 14D-9 on July 14, 2025 and as may be further amended and supplemented from time to time, the "Schedule 14D-9"), relating to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Transom Axis MergerSub, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser") and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Transom Axis AcquireCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Parent"), with the SEC on June 26, 2025 (together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the "Schedule TO"). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), of SigmaTron in exchange for $3.02 per Share, payable in cash without interest and subject to reduction for any applicable withholding of taxes, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 26, 2025 and the related Letter of Transmittal (as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the Letter of Transmittal together with the Offer to Purchase constitute the "Offer").

Except to the extent specifically provided in this Amendment No. 2, the information set forth in the Schedule 14D-9 remains unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 14D-9. This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to reflect certain updates as set forth below.

**Item 8.** **Additional Information.**<br>

Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding, immediately after the heading *"Regulatory Approvals,"* the following new subsection:

#### "Final Results of the Offer and Completion of the Merger

The Offer and withdrawal rights expired one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 24, 2025 (such date and time, the "Expiration Time") and were not extended. Purchaser was advised by Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, which is the depositary and paying agent for the Offer, that, as of the Expiration Time, a total of 4,401,189 Shares had been validly tendered into and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, which Shares represented approximately 71.9% of the aggregate number of Shares then outstanding. Accordingly, the number of Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer satisfied the Minimum Condition. Purchaser has irrevocably accepted for payment, and has stated it will promptly pay for, all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

As a result of its acceptance of the Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer and in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL, Purchaser owns a number of Shares that is greater than the percentage of Shares that would be required to adopt the Merger Agreement by a vote of the stockholders of SigmaTron. Pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL, subject to the satisfaction of the remaining conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Parent, Purchaser and SigmaTron intend to consummate the Merger, as promptly as practicable and without a meeting of stockholders of SigmaTron. At the Effective Time, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Shares owned by SigmaTron (as treasury stock or otherwise) immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) Shares directly owned by Parent or Purchaser, and any Share that is owned by any wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (other than Purchaser), in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time, (iii) Shares irrevocably accepted by Purchaser for purchase in the Offer and (iv) Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by holders who have not tendered their Shares and are entitled to and have properly exercised appraisal rights with respect to such Shares in accordance with, and who have complied with, Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to any such Shares held by any such holder) will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Consideration from Purchaser, without interest and less any required tax withholding.

Following the consummation of the Merger, the Shares will be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market and Parent intends to take the steps to terminate the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act and suspend SigmaTron's reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.

------

A joint press release, dated July 25, 2025, issued by SigmaTron and Parent announcing the expiration and results of the Offer and the expected consummation of the Merger is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(E) to this Schedule 14D-9 and incorporated herein by reference."

#### Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this press release are "forward-looking statements." Words such as "continue," "anticipate," "will," "expect," "believe," "plan," and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of SigmaTron. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to SigmaTron's or Transom's future financial performance, business prospects and strategy, and expectations with respect to the tender offer and the merger, including the timing thereof and SigmaTron's and Transom's ability to successfully complete such transaction and realize the anticipated benefits. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including, among others, the risks and uncertainties inherent in the tender offer and the merger, including, among other things, (i) the possibility that competing offers will be made, (ii) the ability to obtain requisite regulatory approvals, (iii) the ability to satisfy the conditions to the closing of the tender offer and the merger, (iv) the expected timing of the merger, (v) the possibility that the merger will not be completed, (vi) difficulties or unanticipated expenses in connection with integrating the parties' operations, products and employees and the possibility that anticipated synergies and other anticipated benefits of the transaction will not be realized in the amounts expected, within the expected timeframe or at all, (vii) the effect of the announcement of the tender offer and the merger on SigmaTron's and Transom's business relationships (including, without limitations, partners and customers), (viii) the risk that SigmaTron's stock price may fluctuate during the pendency of the transaction, (ix) the diversion of SigmaTron's or Transom's respective management's time and attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities, (x) the response of competitors and other market participants to the transaction, (xi) potential litigation relating to the transaction, (xii) uncertainty as to timing of completion of the transaction and the ability of each party to consummate the transaction, (xiii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement, (xiv) the expected tax treatment of the transaction, (xv) the impact of global macroeconomic conditions and supply chain challenges on SigmaTron's business and (xvi) other circumstances beyond SigmaTron's and Transom's control. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Certain of these and other risks and uncertainties are discussed in SigmaTron's and Transom's filings with the SEC, including the Schedule TO (including the offer to purchase, letter of transmittal and related documents) Transom and its acquisition subsidiary have filed and may in the future file with the SEC, the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 that SigmaTron have filed and may in the future file with the SEC, and SigmaTron's most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings with the SEC.
