QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT VOTING AT

THE SPECIAL MEETING AND RELATED MATTERS

_________________________________________________________

What is the date, time and place of the Special Meeting?

The Special Meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, at 1:00 p.m., Eastern time. The meeting will be held virtually at the following URL:

www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SHIM2024SM

What is the purpose of the Special Meeting?

At the Special Meeting, stockholders will act upon the matters outlined in the notice of meeting on the cover page of this proxy statement, consisting of

1.
approval of the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Share Issuance Agreement; and
2.
any other matters that properly come before the meeting.

Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

Only our stockholders of record at the close of business on June 4, 2024, the record date for the meeting, are entitled to receive notice of and to participate in the Special Meeting. If you were a stockholder of record on that date, you will be entitled to vote all of the shares you held on that date at the meeting, or any postponement(s) or adjournment(s) of the meeting. As of the record date, there were 30,891,076 shares of Common Stock outstanding, all of which are entitled to be voted at the Special Meeting.

What are the voting rights of the holders of our Common stock?

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter that is submitted to stockholders for approval.

Who can attend the meeting?

All stockholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the meeting, and each may be accompanied by one guest. Please also note that if you hold your shares in “street name” (that is, through a broker or other nominee), you will need to bring a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting your stock ownership as of the record date.

What constitutes a quorum and why is a quorum required?

A quorum is required to transact business at the Special Meeting. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the record date, present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote, will constitute a quorum. Proxies received but marked as abstentions, if any, proxies returned without making any selections, if any, and broker non-votes (described below) will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the meeting for quorum purposes. If we do not have a quorum, we will be forced to reconvene the Special Meeting at a later date.

What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a beneficial owner?

If your shares are registered directly in your name with Shimmick’s transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, you are considered the “stockholder of record” with respect to those shares.

 


 

If your shares are held by a brokerage firm, bank, trustee or nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in street name. Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice”) has been forwarded to you by your nominee who is considered the “stockholder of record” with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your nominee on how to vote your shares by following its instructions for voting.

How do I vote?

To be valid, your vote by Internet, telephone or mail must be received by the deadline specified on the proxy card or voting information form, as applicable. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we urge you to vote and submit your proxy in advance of the meeting.

Detailed instructions for Internet and telephone voting are set forth on the proxy card. Internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate stockholders’ identities, allow stockholders to give their voting instructions and confirm that stockholders’ instructions have been recorded properly. Stockholders voting by Internet or telephone should understand that, while neither we nor Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) charge any fees for voting by Internet or telephone, there may still be costs, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies, for which you are responsible.

What am I being asked to vote on?

At the Special Meeting you will be asked to vote on the following proposal.

 

Proposal

Board

Recommendation

1.
To approve the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Share Issuance Agreement.

We will also consider such other business that properly comes before the Special Meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”).

 

What vote is required to approve each item?

 

Proposal

Stockholder Vote Required for Approval

Effect of Abstentions

Effect of Broker Non-Votes

(1)
Approval of Share Issuance

Majority of votes cast

Against

No effect

The inspector of election for the Special Meeting shall determine the number of shares of Common Stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum and the validity and effect of proxies, and shall count and tabulate ballots and votes and determine the results thereof. Proxies received but marked as abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in the calculation of the number of

 


 

shares considered to be present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. A “broker non-vote” will occur when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on the proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary power with respect to the proposal and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. The proposal described in this Proxy Statement is not related to “routine” matters. As a result, a broker will not be able to vote your shares with respect to the proposal absent your voting instructions.

What if I sign and return my proxy without making any selections?

If you sign and return your proxy without making any selections, your shares will be voted “FOR” the proposal. If other matters properly come before the meeting, Messrs. Steven E. Richards and John P. Carpenter will have the authority to vote on those matters for you at their discretion. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we are not aware of other business to be acted upon at the Special Meeting other than as disclosed in this Proxy Statement

What if I abstain from voting on a proposal?

If you sign and return your proxy marked “ABSTAIN” on any proposal, your shares will not be voted on the proposal and will not be counted as votes cast in the final tally of votes with regard to the proposal. However, your shares will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?

Yes. The giving of a proxy does not eliminate the right to vote in person should any stockholder giving the proxy so desire. Stockholders have an unconditional right to revoke their proxy at any time prior to the exercise of that proxy, by voting in person at the Special Meeting, by filing a written revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date with our Secretary at our headquarters.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

 

If you receive more than one proxy card, it means that you hold shares of Shimmick in more than one account. To ensure that all your shares are voted, sign and return each proxy card.

 

Alternatively, if you vote by telephone or on the Internet, you will need to vote once for each proxy card you receive.

Where can I find voting results of the Special Meeting?

 

We will announce the results for the proposal voted upon at the Special Meeting and publish final detailed voting results in a Form 8-K filed within four business days after the Special Meeting.

 

Who will count and certify the votes?

Representatives of Broadridge and our Corporate Secretary will count the votes and certify the election results.

Who pays for costs relating to the proxy materials and the Special Meeting?

The costs of preparing, assembling and mailing this Proxy Statement, the Notice of Special Meeting and the enclosed proxy card, along with the cost of posting the proxy materials on a website, are to be borne by us. We have engaged Broadridge to assist us in the distribution of proxy materials and to provide voting and tabulation services for the Special Meeting for an estimated cost of $8,000, plus expenses. Our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies personally and by telephone, facsimile and other electronic means. They will receive no compensation in addition to their regular salaries. We may also request banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward copies of the proxy material to their principals and to request authority for the execution of proxies. We may reimburse these persons for their expenses in so doing.

Who should I call with other questions?

If you have additional questions about this Proxy Statement or the meeting or would like additional copies of this Proxy Statement or our annual report, please contact: Shimmick Corporation, 530 Technology Drive, Suite 300, Irvine, CA 92618, Attention: Investor Relations, Telephone: (949) 704-2350.

proposal 1 – Approval of the Issuance of Additional shares of Common Stock Pursuant to the Share Issuance Agreement

_________________________________________________________

 

Background

 

On May 20, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into the Share Issuance Agreement as part of a series of transactions (the “Transactions”) with AECOM, a Delaware corporation, and Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company (“BHSI”). A summary of the Transactions is included below. For more information, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 20, 2024 (the “Form 8-K”).

Share Issuance

In connection with the Mutual Release (as defined below), the Company entered into the Share Issuance Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue an aggregate 7,745,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”). 5,144,622 of the Shares (the “Initial Shares”), which represented approximately 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately prior to the issuance, were issued on the Closing Date. Issuance of the remaining 2,600,378 Shares (the “Additional Shares”) is subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders, pursuant to Nasdaq listing requirements. Subject to stockholder approval of the proposal at this Special Meeting, the Company will approve the issuance of the Additional Shares and will promptly issue the Additional Shares to AECOM. The offer and sale of the Initial Shares were, and the offer and sale of the Additional Shares will be, made in reliance on the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

Revolving Credit Facility

On the Closing Date, the Company, as guarantor, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as borrowers (“Borrowers”), Alter Domus (US) LLC, as agent, and AECOM and BHSI as lenders, entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides borrowing capacity up to $60 million. The obligations under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to one month Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to a 1.00% floor, plus 3.50%. Interest on any outstanding amounts drawn under the Credit Agreement will be payable, in kind or in cash at the election of the Company, on the last day of each month and upon prepayment.

The Credit Agreement replaced the BHSI Financing Agreement (defined below). The Company expects to use the proceeds from the Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement matures on May 20, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”), and the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow amounts under the Credit Agreement until the Maturity Date.

Obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company, and secured by a lien on substantially all assets of the Company and the Borrowers.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for a transaction of this type, including covenants that limit liens, asset sales and investments, in each case subject to negotiated exceptions and baskets. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a maximum leverage ratio covenant that will be tested starting in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. The Credit Agreement also contains representations and warranties and event of default provisions customary for a transaction of this type.

Side Letter

In connection with the Transactions, the Company and AECOM entered into a side letter to the Credit Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Side Letter”). The Side Letter provides, among other things, (i) that the Company establish a special committee of independent directors (the “Special Committee”) to oversee certain matters, including the budget and use of funds under the Credit Agreement, material and non-ordinary course asset sales and other transactions and certain compensation matters (ii) for the appointment of a chief transformation officer, (iii) that the Company and AECOM execute mutual releases and dismissals of certain pending litigation, and (iv) certain agreements relating to AECOM’s registration rights under the Share Issuance Agreement.

Mutual Release

In connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement and Side Letter, on the Closing Date, the Company and AECOM entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release pursuant to which, among other things, the Company and its subsidiaries released AECOM from all claims that have or could have been asserted against the Company and its subsidiaries, including claims or defenses asserted

 


 

or which could have been asserted under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated December 9, 2020, between AECOM, URS Holdings, Inc. and the Company (as successor in interest to SCC Group LLC (the “PSA”). In return, AECOM released the Company and its subsidiaries from certain claims under the PSA, specifically those related to or arising in respect to: (a) the Golden Gate Bridge Project and the Gerald Desmond Bridge Project, under the claim sharing provisions contained in Sections 2.13(a)(i) and (a)(ii) of the PSA, respectively; (b) any Earn-Out Payment arising solely under Section 2.11 of the PSA and (c) the Chickamauga Lock Project arising under the claim sharing provisions of that certain Working Capital Settlement Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2022, by and among SCC Group LLC, AECOM and URS Holdings, Inc.

In connection with the Mutual Release, AECOM shall jointly file, or caused to be filed, a request for dismissal of the AECOM v. SCCI National Holdings, Inc., et al., Delaware Chancery Court C.A. No. 2022-0727-MTZ, in its entirety, with prejudice.

 

Why We Need Stockholder Approval

Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), and as a result, we are subject to Nasdaq’s Listing Rules. We are seeking stockholder approval in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 and to fulfill our obligations under the Share Issuance Agreement.

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of shares in a transaction, other than a public offering (as interpreted under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)), involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the Company of Common Stock, which equals 20% or more of the Common Stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance, at a price less than the lower of: (i) the closing price immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement, or (ii) the average closing price of the Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement for the transaction (the “Minimum Price”).

 

The issuance of Additional Shares is not considered a public offering under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the issuance of Additional Shares is in exchange for the release of claims pursuant to the Share Issuance Agreement and the Mutual Release as described above so the per share consideration is less than the Minimum Price as of the Closing Date and the execution of the Share Issuance Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Additional Shares would result in the issuance of 20% or more of the Common Stock outstanding. Accordingly, in light of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the Share Issuance Agreement provides that the issuance and sale of the Additional Shares is conditioned on the receipt by the Company of the approval of its stockholders as required by Nasdaq (the “Shareholder Approval Condition”). Further, pursuant to the Share Issuance Agreement, the Company agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to satisfy the Shareholder Approval Condition.

 

Consequences of Not Approving this Proposal

The Board is not seeking the approval of our stockholders to authorize our entry into the Share Issuance Agreement. The Share Issuance Agreement has already been executed. Additionally, GOHO, LLC (“GOHO”), the current majority shareholder holding the majority of outstanding voting power, has agreed to vote all of the shares of Common Stock it has a right to vote in favor of the issuance of Additional Shares. As a result, the issuance of the Additional Shares pursuant to the Share Issuance Agreement will pass.

Reasons For Transactions and Potential Effects on Current Stockholders

 

Our Board has determined that the issuance of the Additional Shares pursuant to the Share Issuance Agreement is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders because it believes the additional issuance is fair to the Company and, together with the other Transactions, enhance the Company’s liquidity and deliver on its transformation into a water infrastructure company.

 

The Additional Shares of Common Stock, if issued pursuant to the Share Issuance Agreement, would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of our currently authorized and outstanding Common Stock. The issuance of such Additional Shares will not affect the rights of the holders of our outstanding Common Stock, but such issuances will have a dilutive effect on existing stockholders, including on the voting power and economic rights of the existing stockholders, and may result in a decline in the price of our Common Stock or in greater price volatility. If our stockholders approve the proposal, such Additional Shares, if issued will, together with the already issued Initial Shares, constitute 23.1% (more than 20%) of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, if the issuance of Additional Shares is approved by our stockholders at the Special Meeting, only a portion of the Additional Shares will be released to AECOM such that AECOM’s voting power shall not exceed 20%, with the remainder of the Additional Shares being placed in escrow (the “Escrowed Shares”). Any or all of the Escrowed Shares will be released to AECOM from time to time such that AECOM’s voting power does not exceed 20%, in accordance with the terms of an escrow services agreement, pursuant to which AECOM can only terminate upon the delivery of a written direction to the escrow agent with notice provided at least sixty-one (61) days prior to termination. While the Escrowed Shares are held in escrow, AECOM will not have the ability to transfer or vote the Escrowed Shares.

 

Additional Information

 


 

 

The Share Issuance Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.3 to the Form 8-K and the above summary of the Share Issuance Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the Share Issuance Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.3 to the Form 8-K.


Required Vote

 

The proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of the stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter, voting as a single class. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “Against” on the outcome of the proposal, and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the proposal.

 

 

 

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

 

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Share Issuance Agreement.
