Other Events.
 
On June 8, 2012, SMTC Corporation (the “Company”) closed the purchase of certain manufacturing assets from Alco Electronics Ltd. (“Alco”) and entered into a facility lease for its plant located in Dongguan, China. The Company had previously operated this facility under a manufacturing relationship with Alco and will now assume full control over its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary, SMTC Electronics (Dongguan) Company Limited, a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise registered in the People’s Republic of China.
 
The Company has determined that this transaction does not constitute a “significant amount” which would require disclosures under Item 2.01 of the Form 8-K, but has furnished this information that it has deemed of importance to security holders.
