EXPLANATORY NOTE

On June 26, 2024, Daktronics, Inc. (the “Company”) filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 27, 2024 (the “Original Form 10-K”). This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) is being filed solely to replace the consent of Deloitte & Touche LLP (the “Consent”) previously filed as Exhibit 23.1, Consent of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, to the Original Form 10-K. The Company possessed a correct, manually signed copy of the Consent when the Original Form 10-K was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), but due to an administrative error, an incorrect version of the Consent was inadvertently included in the Original Form 10-K.

This Amendment includes Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Form 10-K that includes: (i) the corrected Consent; and (ii) as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), new certifications by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) or 15d-14(a) of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Section 302 Certifications”). As no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 or 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the Section 302 Certifications have been omitted. Certifications pursuant to Section 1350 of Chapter 63 of Title 18 of the United States Code (18 U.S.C. § 1350) are not included herewith as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment.

This Amendment does not modify, amend, or update any of the financial statements or other information contained in the Original Form 10-K. Except for the foregoing amended information, the information disclosed in this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing date of the Original Form 10-K. Therefore, this Amendment should be read together with other documents that the Company has filed with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-K. Information in such reports and documents updates and supersedes certain information contained in the Original Form 10-K.
