WYNNEFIELD SEEKS TO REBUILD TECHPRECISION CREDIBILITY FOR ALL STOCKHOLDERS
WYNNEFIELD HIGHLIGHTS TWO DIRECTOR NOMINEES TO
ADDRESS TECHPRECISION’S DISMAL
STOCKHOLDER RETURNS, RECENT M&A DEBACLES AND LACK OF TRANSPARENCY
Launches Campaign Website at www.rebuildTPCScredibility.com
NEW YORK, July 30, 2024
Wynnefield Partners Small Cap Value, L.P. I and its affiliates (“Wynnefield”), and Robert D. Straus (together, with Wynnefield, the “Group”), who collectively own more shares of TechPrecision Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TPCS) than any other stockholder, collectively owning approximately 7.0% of the Company’s outstanding common stock according to Bloomberg, today launched a campaign website at www.rebuildTPCScredibility.com and issued the following public letter to the Company’s stockholders.
Dear Fellow TechPrecision Stockholders:
We are writing to you as the largest collective stockholders of TechPrecision Corporation (“TechPrecision” or the “Company”), owners of approximately 7.0% of the Company’s outstanding common stock according to Bloomberg. The Company’s upcoming 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”), tentatively scheduled by the Company for October 2, 2024, must be about rebuilding TechPrecision’s credibility and repairing the relationship between the Company and its stockholders.
On July 2, 2024, the Group delivered a letter to the Company notifying it of Wynnefield’s intention to nominate and seek to elect General Victor Eugene “Gene” Renuart, Jr., U.S. Air Force (Ret.) and Robert D. Straus as members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting. The biographies of General Renuart and Mr. Straus are set forth at the end of this letter. To this end, we will soon be mailing to you a proxy statement and a GREEN proxy card where you will have an opportunity to vote on the future of TechPrecision. Please be on the lookout for our proxy materials. In the meantime, you may find additional information at our newly launched campaign website at www.rebuildTPCScredibility.com.
We believe new independent voices are needed on TechPrecision’s Board as we seek better transparency and disciplined business judgement.
| Ø | NEW INDEPENDENT VOICES on the Board to give stockholders the ability to express concerns and objectives, and to effectuate change. |
| Ø | TRANSPARENCY to allow stockholders the opportunity to assess the Company’s investment risks and the Board’s performance. |
| Ø | DISCIPLINED BUSINESS JUDGEMENT to avoid poorly conceived and costly strategies like the recently failed acquisition of Votaw Precision Technologies, Inc. (“Votaw”) and to enhance stockholder value. |
The Group believes the Company and the Board have failed its stockholders, and their decisions have resulted in the Company significantly underperforming the market over the past five years.
| Ø | TechPrecision’s total stockholder returns are unfavorable in absolute and relative terms: |
| Russell | Relative | |||||||||||||||
| Metric | Time Period | TPCS | Micro Index | Performance | ||||||||||||
| Proposed Votaw Acquisition | 11/29/23 to 07/02/24 | -47.1 | % | 13.1 | % | -60.2 | % | |||||||||
| STADCO Acquisition | 08/25/21 to 07/02/24 | -41.5 | % | -19.0 | % | -22.5 | % | |||||||||
| 2024 Performance | 12/29/23 to 07/02/24 | -33.6 | % | -2.0 | % | -31.6 | % | |||||||||
| 1-Year | 07/03/23 to 07/02/24 | -53.2 | % | 4.0 | % | -57.2 | % | |||||||||
| 3-Year | 07/03/21 to 07/02/24 | -31.2 | % | -22.2 | % | -9.0 | % | |||||||||
| 5-Year | 07/03/19 to 07/02/24 | -37.7 | % | 30.1 | % | -67.8 | % | |||||||||
| Ø | M&A Debacles Resulted in Significant Stockholder Dilution. |
| ○ | FAILED Votaw transaction resulted in the Company paying a share-based M&A break-up fee to Doerfer Corporation, Votaw’s parent company. The Company paid M&A advisory fees with borrowings from its revolver, necessitating the Company to then raise additional capital in order to repay such loans. On July 8, 2024, TechPrecision sold shares and warrants at $3.45 per-share. |
| ○ | AGREEING TO PURCHASE Votaw without an assured financing commitment in place violated fundamental M&A practices and basic process tenets. |
| ○ | LAGGING STADCO acquisition is still not fully integrated and remains an underperformer after nearly three years, per Company SEC filings. In August 2021, the STADCO acquisition was funded by an equity capital raise at $4.40 per-share, which is 27.5% higher than the recent raise. |
| Ø | Transparency & Governance. |
| ○ | LACK OF transparency prevents stockholders from reasonably valuing the Company’s investment risks. |
| ○ | FAILURE to timely file SEC reports demonstrates the Board’s poor oversight and management of the Company. |
