REPORTS NEW BANKING RELATIONSHIP
ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Illinois, January 11, 2010 — SigmaTron International, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGMA), an electronic manufacturing services company, today reported a new banking relationship.
Gary R. Fairhead, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am pleased to report that SigmaTron International, Inc. closed its new financing arrangement with the Wells Fargo HSBC Trade Bank, NA (Wells Fargo) on Friday, January 8, 2010. As disclosed in our press release dated December 14, 2009, the Company had conducted a strategic review of our financing arrangements and based on proposals from five prospective banks as well as our bank at that time, Bank of America. We concluded that the best proposal was from Wells Fargo because it best fit our current and future requirements. In particular, we believe that our new arrangement will better support future growth at our offshore operations in Mexico and China. We also believe that Wells Fargo’s extensive international organization will be of significant value to the Company going forward. We are pleased to have put this credit facility in place in fairly short order and expect to have a long and fruitful relationship with Wells Fargo going forward.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank Bank of America for their cooperation and professionalism during this transition. We enjoyed our long relationship with LaSalle Bank, now Bank of America, and want to acknowledge their past support of the Company.”
