Explanatory Note:  SMTC Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”) to amend Item 5.07 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 23, 2012 (the “Original Form 8-K”).  The Original Form 8-K reported, among other things, the results of the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 17, 2012 and, in doing so, reported that the Company’s stockholders had approved Proposal 5, to amend the Company’s By-laws and Certificate of Incorporation.  As a result of an inadvertent clerical error recently discovered by the Company, the Company has concluded that portions of Proposal 5 relating to amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation were not approved by the requisite vote of the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting.
 
The proposal to remove consideration of “the social, legal and economic effects upon employees, suppliers, customers and others having similar relationships with the Corporation, and the communities in which the Corporation conducts its business” in reviewing change of control transactions did not receive sufficient votes for approval, but in view of the support this proposal received (94% of the votes cast for the proposal) the board of directors has determined that in reviewing change of control transactions it will not consider “the social, legal and economic effects upon employees, suppliers, customers and others having similar relationships with the Corporation, and the communities in which the Corporation conducts its business” as part of its analysis of potential transactions.
