SigmaTron International Faces Nasdaq Compliance Challenge
SigmaTron International, Inc. has received a notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market regarding its compliance with the requirements for continued listing. The notice stated that SigmaTron is currently not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because it filed its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2024, late. However, this communication does not have an immediate impact on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Details of the Notification
Previously, the Company submitted a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25, which indicated a delay in filing its Form 10-K. This delay is due to the need for additional time to complete year-end closing procedures associated with ongoing negotiations with its lenders regarding amendments to its credit agreements. These negotiations involve J.P. Morgan Chase Bank and TCW Asset Management Company.
Timeline for Compliance
Nasdaq has provided SigmaTron with a 60-calendar-day period to submit a compliance plan. This plan, which is due by a specific date, will detail the Company’s strategy for regaining compliance with the listing requirements. If the plan is approved, Nasdaq may allow an extension of up to 180 calendar days for the Company to meet the necessary regulatory standards.
Current Operations
SigmaTron is diligently working to finalize its Form 10-K to ensure it meets all regulatory requirements. Based in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, SigmaTron primarily focuses on electronic manufacturing services (EMS). The Company offers a variety of components and services, including printed circuit board assemblies and fully assembled electronic products.

Potential Impact of External Factors
External factors, including inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, and disruptions in the global supply chain, can significantly impact SigmaTron's operations.
