Insights

Proxy focuses on board composition, committee roles, and standard governance controls.

The filing lists five director nominees including long-tenured directors and the CEO, with committee memberships for Audit, Compensation, and Nominating & Governance. The proxy highlights the board’s role in candidate evaluation, succession planning, and governance principle oversight, which are central to board accountability.

The document also discloses an insider hedging prohibition that bars short sales and option/derivative transactions, indicating a governance stance to limit executive risk-taking with company stock.

Executive compensation disclosure and option activity are material for shareholders evaluating pay alignment.

The proxy includes the summary compensation discussion, the Pay versus Performance adjustment note, and specific option figures: 100,000 options outstanding as of March 31, 2025 (25,000 each for four directors) and that CEO Alexander Shen cashlessly exercised options on August 6, 2025. These items directly inform the advisory compensation vote (Proposal 3).

The filing notes the CFO transition (resignation effective August 20, 2024), which is relevant to continuity in financial reporting and compensation administration.

The agenda for the Annual Meeting is to:

 

1.            Elect five directors: Andrew A. Levy, General Victor E. Renuart Jr. (Ret.), Walter M. Schenker, Alexander Shen and Robert D. Straus;

 

2.            Consider and ratify the selection of CBIZ CPAs P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026;

5.            Transact any other business properly brought before the meeting.

 

Who Can Vote

 

You can vote at the Annual Meeting if you are a holder of Common Stock as of the record date. The record date is the close of business on October 1, 2025. You will have one vote for each share of Common Stock you hold. As of October 1, 2025, there were 9,952,950 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

 

How to Vote

 

For Shares Held Directly in the Name of the Stockholder

 

If you hold your shares in registered form and not through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you may vote your shares in one of four ways:

 

Electronically at the meeting. If you attend the virtual Annual Meeting, you may vote electronically at the Annual Meeting. To attend, you must go to the meeting website at https://www.cstproxy.com/techprecision/2025 and enter the 12- or 16-digit control number found on your Internet Notice, proxy card or voting instruction form. Please note you will only be able to attend, participate and vote in the Meeting using this website.

 

By Mail. If you requested a printed copy of the proxy materials be mailed to you and choose to vote by mail, complete the proxy card enclosed with the printed materials, date and sign it, and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you sign your proxy card and return it without marking any voting instructions, your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting for all the director nominees and in favor of each of Proposals 2 and 3 listed above under “ – Agenda Items”;

 

By Mobile voting using a smartphone or tablet. If you choose to vote by mobile device, scan the QR Barcode imprinted on the Internet Notice or proxy card using either a smartphone or tablet, and you will be taken directly to the internet voting site; or

 

By Internet. If you choose to vote electronically over the Internet, visit proxyvote.com and following the instructions on your Internet Notice or proxy card.

 

For Shares Held Through a Bank, Brokerage Firm or Other Nominee

 

If you hold your shares through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you will receive instructions from that bank, brokerage firm or other nominee on how to vote. You must follow these instructions in order for your shares to be voted.

Use of Proxies

 

A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote your shares on your behalf at the Annual Meeting. The person you designate is called a proxy. When you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document also is called a proxy or proxy card. The proxy card accompanying the printed copy of this Proxy Statement is solicited by the Company’s board of directors for the Annual Meeting. By signing and returning it, you will be designating Alexander Shen and Phillip Podgorski as proxies to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting based on your direction. You also may designate your proxies and direct your votes by mobile device or over the Internet as described above.

 

Unless you tell us to vote differently when submitting your vote by mobile device, electronically over the Internet or, if you requested a printed copy of the proxy materials be mailed to you, in your proxy card, we will vote shares represented by signed and returned proxies: (i) FOR all of the nominees for director listed in this proxy statement; (ii) FOR the ratification of our selection of CBIZ CPAs P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026; and (iii) FOR the approval of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (as defined in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission), in an advisory vote. We do not now know of any other matters to come before the Annual Meeting. If they do, proxy holders will vote shares represented by proxies according to their best judgment.

 

Broker Non-Votes

 

A broker non-vote occurs when banks, brokerage firms or other nominees holding shares on behalf of a stockholder do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner by a specified date before the Annual Meeting and do not have discretionary authority to vote those undirected shares on specified matters under applicable rules. We believe that banks, brokerage firms and other nominees have this discretionary authority with respect to the ratification of our selection of the independent registered public accountants (Proposal No. 2), but do not have such discretionary authority with respect to the election of directors (Proposal No. 1) or approval of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (Proposal No. 3). If you are the beneficial owner of shares of our Common Stock that are held of record by a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee and do not provide such holder with voting instructions on matters with respect to which it does not have discretionary authority, there will be a broker non-vote with respect to your shares on each such matter.

 

Revoking a Proxy or Changing Your Vote

 

For Shares Held Directly in the Name of the Stockholder

 

If you hold your shares in registered form and not through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised. You can revoke a proxy by:

 

Submitting a later-dated proxy by mail, on a mobile device or over the Internet;

 

Sending a written notice to our corporate secretary. You must send any written notice of a revocation of a proxy so as to be delivered before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting to:

 

TechPrecision Corporation
1 Bella Drive
Westminster, MA 01473
Attention: Corporate Secretary

 

or

 

Attending the Annual Meeting and voting virtually by visiting the Annual Meeting website at https://www.cstproxy.com/techprecision/2025. Your virtual attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself revoke your proxy. You also must vote your shares at the Annual Meeting to effectively revoke your previously delivered proxy.

For Shares Held Through a Bank, Brokerage Firm or Other Nominee

 

If you hold your shares through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you may change your vote at any time by:

 

Submitting a later-dated voting instruction form by mail to your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee;

 

Submitting a later-dated mobile or Internet vote in accordance with instructions set forth on the voting instruction form provided to you by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee; or

 

Attending the Annual Meeting and voting virtually by visiting the meeting website at https://www.cstproxy.com/techprecision/2025 and entering the 12- or 16-digit control number found on the Internet Notice or voting instruction form sent to you by your bank, broker or other holder of record. Your virtual attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself revoke your voting instructions to your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee. You also must vote your shares at the Annual Meeting to effectively revoke your previously delivered voting instructions.

 

Quorum Requirement

 

We need a quorum of stockholders to hold a valid Annual Meeting. A quorum will be present if the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting either attend the Annual Meeting virtually or are represented by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered to be represented for purposes of determining a quorum.

 

Vote Required for Action

 

Because this is an uncontested election, a majority of the votes cast is required for the election of the directors to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. This means that a director nominee will be elected if he or she received more “FOR” than “AGAINST” votes. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect. Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, in the event that a director nominee receives more “AGAINST” than “FOR” votes, he or she shall tender his or her resignation to the Board, which shall decide within 90 days following the date of the certification of election results whether it shall accept or reject his or her resignation. You are not permitted to cumulate your votes for purposes of electing directors. Brokerage firms do not have authority to vote customers’ non-voted shares held by the firms in street name for the election of the directors. As a result, any shares not voted by a customer will be treated as a broker non-vote and have no effect on the results of this vote.

 

Approval of the ratification of the appointment of CBIZ CPAs P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, either virtually or by proxy, assuming a quorum is present. Abstentions will not be counted as votes for or against this proposal and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. Because this proposal is considered a routine matter, discretionary votes by brokers will be counted.

 

Approval of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, on an advisory basis, will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, either virtually or by proxy, assuming a quorum is present. The vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers is advisory, and therefore not binding on us or our board of directors. Our board of directors values the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns and evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes for or against this proposal and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

 

Recommendation of our Board of Directors

 

As to the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, our board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote:

 

FOR the election of each of the nominees named in Proposal No. 1 to our board of directors;

 

3

 

 

FOR Proposal No. 2, the ratification of the selection of CBIZ CPAs P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026; and

Renuart Jr. (Ret.), Walter M. Schenker, Alexander Shen and Robert D. Straus, all of whom are incumbents who were previously elected by our stockholders at our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Biographical information about the nominees is provided below under “Corporate Governance – Directors/Nominees.”

 

Each nominee has consented to being named in the proxy statement and we expect each nominee to be able to serve if elected. If any nominee is unable to serve, proxies will be voted in favor of the remainder of those nominees and for such substitute nominee as may be selected by our board of directors. The term of office of each person elected as a director will continue for one year, until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier resignation, removal or death. The nominees receiving more “FOR” votes than “AGAINST” votes shall be elected as directors.

 

Our board of directors recommends a vote “FOR” the election of Andrew A. Levy, General Victor E. Renuart Jr. (Ret.), Walter M. Schenker, Alexander Shen and Robert D. Straus to our board of directors.

Information About Our Board of Directors

 

Meetings

 

During fiscal 2025, our board of directors held eleven meetings, the Audit Committee held four meetings, the Compensation Committee held three meetings and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held two meetings. Each incumbent director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the board of directors and the committees on which he served during fiscal 2025. While we encourage all members of our board of directors to attend annual meetings of stockholders, there is no formal policy as to their attendance. Each of our directors attended the annual meeting of stockholders in 2024 by teleconference.

 

Independence

 

We evaluate the independence of our directors in accordance with the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”), the national securities exchange on which our common stock trades, and the regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Nasdaq’s rules require that a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the board of directors. Under Nasdaq rules, we are required to have a board of directors comprised of a majority of independent directors. Accordingly, after review of all relevant transactions and relationships between each director, or any of his family members, and us, our senior management and our independent registered public accounting firm, our board of directors has determined that the following directors, which comprise a majority of the members of our board of directors, are independent directors within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards: Andrew A. Levy, Victor E. Renuart Jr. (Ret.), Walter M. Schenker and Robert D. Straus.

 

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

 

General Victor E. Renuart Jr. (Ret.) currently serves as the Chair of our board of directors and has served as the Chair of our board of directors since December 2024. The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the board of directors believes that the Company and our stockholders are best served by having the role of Chair of our board of directors and Chief Executive Officer positions separate. We believe that having these roles separated better facilitates the independent functioning of the board of directors, while allowing our management to more closely focus on our business operations.

 

The Audit Committee of the board of directors takes an active risk oversight role by meeting with our senior management team on a regular basis and reviewing and approving key risk policies and risk tolerances. The Audit Committee is responsible for ensuring that we have in place a process for identifying, prioritizing, managing and monitoring our critical risks. Furthermore, our board of directors, with input from the Audit Committee, regularly evaluates our management infrastructure, including personnel competencies and technologies and communications, to ensure that key risks are being properly evaluated and managed.

 

Committees

 

Our board of directors has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee.

Audit Committee

 

The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Schenker (Chair), Mr. Levy and Mr. Renuart. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Schenker, who is the Chair of the Audit Committee, is an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Schenker, Levy and Renuart each satisfy the independence standards for the Audit Committee established by the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq.

 

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to oversee the quality and integrity of our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audit of our financial statements. The Audit Committee is responsible for selecting, compensating, overseeing and terminating our independent registered public accounting firm.

Employment Agreements

 

As of March 31, 2025, we had employment agreements with each of our Named Executive Officers.

 

Alexander Shen Employment Agreement

 

We executed an employment agreement with Mr. Shen on November 17, 2014 (the “CEO Employment Agreement”) to engage Mr. Shen for the position of Chief Executive Officer. The terms of the CEO Employment Agreement provide that Mr. Shen will report directly to our board of directors and others at the direction of the board at such time and in such detail as the board shall reasonably require and his duties and responsibilities shall consist of such powers, duties and responsibilities as are customary for the office of Chief Executive Officer of a company similar in size and stature to the Company.

 

Pursuant to the CEO Employment Agreement, Mr. Shen receives an annual base salary of $350,000, increased by the board of directors from $275,000, which may be increased from time to time by the board of directors, and was awarded a one-time grant of options to purchase 250,000 shares of our Common Stock, which vested in three equal amounts on the date of grant and each of the subsequent two anniversaries of the date of grant. The exercise price of the options is equal to the closing market price as of the grant date. Mr. Shen is also eligible for an annual cash performance bonus based upon our financial performance as determined by our board of directors and targeted at up to 75% of Mr. Shen’s annual base salary, which target was increased by the board of directors, from 60%. Mr. Shen is entitled to participate fully in our employee benefit plans and programs and is entitled to four weeks of vacation per year. Mr. Shen will also be reimbursed for reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties and responsibilities as Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of the CEO Employment Agreement, and in connection with his relocation to Westminster, Massachusetts, Mr. Shen was also entitled to assistance with temporary living arrangements and a relocation allowance of $35,000 at the time of his relocation.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the CEO Employment Agreement and subject to Mr. Shen’s execution of a release of claims in favor of the Company, in the event we terminate Mr. Shen’s employment without “cause” (as defined below) or Mr. Shen resigns his employment for “good reason” (as defined below) at any time during the six-month period following a change in control, he will be entitled to receive continuation of his base salary for twelve months following termination of his employment, payable under the Company’s normal payroll practices. We may terminate the CEO Employment Agreement for cause upon seven days written notice, during which period Mr. Shen may contest his termination before our board of directors.

 

In general, “cause” is defined as: (i) Mr. Shen’s refusal to perform material duties and responsibilities or follow legal and reasonable directive of the board of directors, (ii) the willful misappropriation of Company funds or property, (iii) any willful or intentional act which he should have reasonably anticipated would reasonably be expected to materially damage the Company’s reputation, business and/or relationships, (iv) excessive use of alcohol or use of illegal drugs, or (v) any material breach of the CEO Employment Agreement. Mr. Shen is also subject to a covenant not to compete with us for a period of 12 months following termination of the CEO Employment Agreement. In general, “good reason” is defined as: (A) a material adverse change in the duties, responsibilities or effective authority associated with his position, or (B) a material reduction by the Company of Mr. Shen’s base salary, each after Mr. Shen has given the Company written notice and the Company has failed to cure such act within 30 days following receipt of such notice.

 

In addition to the compensation and severance arrangements described above, the CEO Employment Agreement contains customary provisions (i) prohibiting Mr. Shen from divulging to third parties or using confidential information or trade secrets of the Company; (ii) confirming that all intellectual work products generated by Mr. Shen during the term of his employment with the Company are the sole property of the Company; and (iii) prohibiting Mr. Shen from competing against the Company, including by soliciting the Company’s employees or its current or prospective clients, until the one year anniversary of the termination of his employment.

Barbara Lilley Employment Agreement

 

On July 17, 2023, we entered into an Employment Agreement with Barbara M. Lilley (the “Lilley Employment Agreement”), which became effective as of July 14, 2023, (the “Effective Date) and governed Ms. Lilley’s employment as our Chief Financial Officer. The Lilley Employment Agreement was terminated on September 19, 2024 after Ms. Lilley stepped down as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Lilley’s tenure as Interim CFO was not covered by the Lilley Employment Agreement or pursuant to any other agreement with the Company. Pursuant to the Lilley Employment Agreement, Ms. Lilley: (i) received an annual base salary of $200,000, (ii) received an award of restricted stock of 15,000 shares of our Common Stock pursuant to the TechPrecision Corporation 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2016 Plan”), at fair market value measured on the grant date which provided that the Employee remains employed by the Company from the Effective Date through the applicable vesting dates, 5,000 of the Restricted Shares shall vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the Effective Date; provided that in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) while the Employee is employed by the Company, all outstanding, unvested Restricted Shares shall become fully vested on the effective date of such Change in Control, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Restricted Shares will vest following the end of the Employee’s employment with the Company.

 

If the CFO’s employment with the Company ceased for any reason, then the Company’s obligation to the Employee would be limited solely to the payment of accrued and unpaid base salary, and PTO, through the date of such cessation of employment, subject to appropriate offsets (as permitted by applicable law) for debts or money due to the Company, including without limitation personal loans to the Employee and travel advances. All compensation and benefits would cease at the time of such cessation of employment and, except as otherwise provided by COBRA, the Company would have no further liability or obligation by reason of such termination. The foregoing would not be construed to limit the Executive’s right to payment or reimbursement for claims incurred prior to the date of such termination under any insurance contract funding an employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement of the Company in accordance with the terms of such insurance contract.

 

The CFO’s obligations shall cease to be in effect in the event that the Company terminates the Employee’s employment with the Company for a reason other than Cause. For purposes of this clause, “Cause” shall mean: (i) the Employee’s failure or refusal to perform Employee’s material duties and responsibilities or Employee’s repeated failure or refusal to follow lawful and reasonable directives of the Board or the CEO; (ii) the willful misappropriation by Employee of the funds, business opportunities, or property of the Company or its affiliates; (iii) the commission by the Employee of any willful or intentional act, which Employee should reasonably have anticipated would reasonably be expected to have the effect of injuring the reputation, business or business relationships of the Company or its affiliates; (iv) use of alcohol to excess or illegal drugs, continuing after written warning from the Board; or (v) any breach by the Employee of any written agreement with the Company.

 

In addition to the compensation and severance arrangements described above, the Lilley Employment Agreement contained customary provisions (i) prohibiting Ms. Lilley from divulging to third parties or using confidential information or trade secrets of the Company; (ii) confirming that all intellectual work products generated by Ms. Lilley during the term of her employment with the Company are the sole property of the Company; and (iii) prohibiting Ms. Lilley from competing against the Company, including by soliciting the Company’s employees or its current or prospective clients, until the one year anniversary of the termination of her employment.

Phillip Podgorski Employment Agreement

 

On March 31, 2025, the Company announced the appointment of Phillip E. Podgorski to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective April 9, 2025.

 

Mr. Podgorski, 59, was the Chief Financial Officer for the RTX Technology Research Center, or “RTRC”, a division of RTX Corporation, or “RTX”, a public aerospace and defense company, since 2013. While at RTX, he was responsible for all GAAP, SEC and government accounting and reporting related aspects for the RTRC. Mr. Podgorski was also responsible for strategic and scenario planning in collaboration with other stakeholders at RTX, including long-range plans and annual operating budgets. Mr. Podgorksi has an MBA and Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from Western New England University.

 

Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Podgorski will: (i) receive an annual base salary of $265,000, which shall be increased by $10,000 annually on each of the first two anniversaries of the Transition Date; (ii) receive a relocation bonus of $50,000 payable upon Mr. Podgorski relocating to a reasonable commuting distance from the Company’s headquarters, provided that such relocation is completed within six months of the Transition Date and he remains employed with the Company through the six months following the Transition Date, (iii) receive a guaranteed bonus of $60,000 subject to certain conditions of employment set forth in the Employment Agreement, and (iv) receive a grant in the amount of $180,000 of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the Transition Date) pursuant to the TechPrecision Corporation 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, which shall vest in equal amounts annually for three years following the Transition Date. Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Podgorski also will be eligible to participate in Company benefits provided to other senior executives as well as benefits available to Company employees generally.

 

In addition to the compensation arrangements described above, the Employment Agreement contains customary provisions (i) prohibiting Mr. Podgorski from using or divulging to third parties confidential information or trade secrets of the Company; (ii) confirming that all intellectual work products generated by Mr. Podgorski during the term of his employment with the Company are the sole property of the Company; and (iii) prohibiting Mr. Podgorski from competing against the Company, including by soliciting the Company’s employees or its current or prospective clients, until the one-year anniversary of the termination of his employment. The Employment Agreement has an indefinite term and each of Mr. Podgorski and the Company may terminate the Employment Agreement upon the giving of written notice.

 

2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan

 

The purposes of the 2016 Plan are to: (a) enable the Company and its affiliated companies to recruit and retain highly qualified employees, directors and consultants; (b) provide those employees, directors and consultants with an incentive for productivity; and (c) provide those employees, directors and consultants with an opportunity to share in the growth and value of the Company.

 

17

 

 

Employees, directors, consultants and other individuals who provide services to the Company or its affiliates are eligible to be granted awards under the 2016 Plan; provided, however, that only employees of the Company or any parent company or subsidiary of the Company are eligible to be granted incentive stock options. As of October 1, 2025, 86 employees and four non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the 2016 Plan, and there were outstanding options granted under the 2016 Plan to purchase 300,000 shares of our Common Stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $2.113. This amount included options to purchase 250,000 shares of our Common Stock issued to our chief executive officer. As of October 2, 2025, the closing price of our Common Stock was $5.23 per share.

 

Additional Retirement Benefits

 

During fiscal 2025, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer each participated in our qualified 401(k) plan that provides participants the opportunity to defer taxation on a portion of their income, up to limits set forth in the Internal Revenue Code and receive a matching Company contribution.

 

Compensation Policies and Practices and Risk Management

 

One of the responsibilities of our board of directors, in its role in setting executive compensation and overseeing our various compensation programs, is to ensure that our compensation programs are structured so as to discourage inappropriate risk-taking. We believe that our existing compensation practices and policies for all employees, including executive officers, mitigate against this risk by, among other things, providing a meaningful portion of total compensation in the form of equity incentives. These equity incentives are awarded with either staggered or cliff vesting over several years, so as to promote long-term rather than short-term financial performance and to encourage employees to focus on sustained stock price appreciation. In addition, our existing compensation policies attempt to discourage employees from taking excessive risks to achieve individual performance objectives such as annual cash incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation which are based upon balanced company-wide, business unit and individual performance and base salaries structured so as to be consistent with an employee’s responsibilities and general market practices. The board of directors, as a whole, is responsible for monitoring our existing compensation practices and policies and investigating applicable enhancements to align our existing practices and policies with avoidance or elimination of risk and the enhancement of long-term stockholder value.

The following table shows the past four fiscal years’ total compensation for our named executive officers as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table, the “compensation actually paid” to our named executive officers (as determined under SEC rules described in greater detail below), our total shareholder return (“TSR”), and our net income.

(1)The PEO for each year presented was Alexander Shen.

 

(2)The only non-PEO NEO for 2022 and 2023 was Thomas Sammons. In 2024, Thomas Sammons and Bobbie Lilley were each a non-PEO NEO. In 2025, Bobbie Lilley and Richard Roomberg were our non-PEO NEOs.

 

(3)SEC rules require certain adjustments be made to the Summary Compensation Table totals to determine “compensation actually paid” as reported in the Pay versus Performance Table. “Compensation actually paid” does not necessarily represent cash and/or equity value transferred to the applicable named executive officer without restriction, but rather is a valuation calculated under applicable SEC rules. In general, “compensation actually paid” is calculated as summary compensation table total compensation adjusted to (a) include the fair market value of equity awards as of the end of the fiscal year or, if earlier, the vesting date (rather than the grant date) and factor in dividends and interest accrued with respect to such awards. The following table details applicable adjustments.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

 

Related Party Transaction Policy

 

All transactions with related parties that may present actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest are subject to approval by the Audit Committee, under the terms of the Audit Committee’s charter. As part of its review of related party transactions, the Audit Committee generally seeks to obtain evidence regarding whether the terms of the related party transaction are market-based. The Audit Committee relies on such information, in addition to other transaction-specific factors, in its review and approval of related party transactions.

 

Related Person Transactions

 

We are not aware of any transactions, since April 1, 2022, or any proposed transactions, in which the Company was a party, where the amount involved exceeded $120,000 and in which a director, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our Common Stock, any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons or any other “related person” (as defined under the rules of the SEC), had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Proposal Two-Ratification of the Selection of CBIZ CPAs P.C. as Our
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the Fiscal Year ending
March 31, 2026

 

The Audit Committee has selected CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.

 

The Audit Committee has recommended that the stockholders vote for ratification of the appointment of CBIZ as our independent registered public accounting firm. A representative of CBIZ is expected to attend the Annual Meeting via teleconference and will have the opportunity to make a statement and/or respond to appropriate questions from stockholders present at the Annual Meeting.

 

Neither our by-laws nor other governing documents or laws require stockholder ratification of the appointment of CBIZ as our independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Audit Committee is submitting the appointment of CBIZ to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain CBIZ. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of our stockholders.

 

The affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, either virtually or by proxy will be required to ratify the appointment of CBIZ.

 

Our board of directors recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the selection of CBIZ CPAs P.C. as
our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.

Audit Committee Report

 

The Audit Committee Report that follows shall not be deemed to “soliciting material” or “filed” with the SEC and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing made by us under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, notwithstanding any general statement contained in any such filing incorporating this Proxy Statement by reference, except to the extent we incorporate such Report by specific reference.

 

In fulfilling its responsibilities with respect to the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025, the Audit Committee took the following actions:

 

Reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and CBIZ;

 

Discussed with CBIZ the matters required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board concerning the conduct of the audit; and

 

Received the written disclosures and the letter from CBIZ regarding its communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, as required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and has discussed with CBIZ the firm’s independence.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of our financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles and internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations, including the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. CBIZ was responsible for performing an independent audit of our financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. CBIZ had full access to the Audit Committee to discuss any matters they deem appropriate.

 

In reliance upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to our board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025.

These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. The independent registered public accounting firm and our management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date.

Proposal THREE — Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of
Our Named Executive Officers

 

We are asking our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, including the section titled “Executive Compensation,” and any related material as required pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act’). This proposal, commonly known as a “Say-On-Pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our Named Executive Officer compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our Named Executive Officers and the compensation philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement.

 

In a non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of the say-on-pay proposal held at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, we recommended, and our stockholders voted in favor of, an annual say-on-pay vote. In light of this result and other factors considered by the board of directors, the board of directors determined that we would hold advisory say-on-pay votes on an annual basis until the next required advisory vote on such frequency. A new advisory vote on the frequency of the say-on-pay vote is required every 6 years, and the next such advisory vote will be held at the 2028 annual meeting.

 

This vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company or our board of directors. Our board of directors values the opinions of the stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the Named Executive Officer compensation as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns and the board of directors will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

 

We believe that the policies and procedures articulated in the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement are effective in achieving the Company’s goals and that the executive compensation reported in this Proxy Statement was appropriate and aligned with fiscal 2025 results. Before voting, we encourage our stockholders to read the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement for additional details about our executive compensation programs and Named Executive Officer compensation in fiscal 2025. We are asking stockholders to indicate their support for our Named Executive Officer compensation as described in this Proxy Statement.

 

Our board of directors recommends a vote “FOR” the resolution approving
the compensation of our named executive officers, as follows:

 

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers,
as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables
and narrative discussion, is hereby approved.

 

25

 

 

Other Matters

 

Other Business to be Conducted at the Annual Meeting

 

We know of no other matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote the shares they represent according to their best judgment.

 

Stockholder Proposals for the 2026 Annual Meeting

 

Stockholders may nominate director candidates and make proposals to be considered at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”). In accordance with our by-laws, any stockholder nominations of one or more candidates for election as directors at the 2025 Annual Meeting or any other proposal for consideration at the 2026 Annual Meeting must be received by us at the address set forth below, together with certain information specified in our by-laws, not less than 60 days (August 29, 2026) nor more than 90 days (July 30, 2026) prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, such nomination or proposal must be received by the Company no later than the later of 70 days prior to the date of such annual meeting and the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was made.

 

In addition to being able to present proposals for consideration at the 2026 Annual Meeting, stockholders may also be able to have their proposals included in our proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2026 Annual Meeting. In order to have a stockholder proposal included in the proxy statement and form of proxy, the proposal must be delivered to us at the address set forth below not later than June 5, 2026, and the stockholder must otherwise comply with the applicable requirements of the SEC and our by-laws. If the stockholder complies with these requirements for inclusion of a proposal in our proxy statement and form of proxy, the stockholder need not comply with the notice requirements described in the preceding paragraph.

 

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our by-laws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act no later than August 29, 2026.

 

A copy of the full text of the provisions of our by-laws discussed above may be obtained by writing to our corporate secretary and all notices and nominations referred to above must be sent to our corporate offices at the following address: TechPrecision Corporation, 1 Bella Drive, Westminster, MA 01473, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

 

Expenses Relating to this Proxy Solicitation

 

We will pay all expenses relating to this proxy solicitation. In addition to this solicitation by mail, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies in person or by telephone, facsimile or electronic transmission without extra compensation for that activity. We also expect to reimburse banks, brokers and other persons for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in forwarding proxy material to beneficial owners of our stock and obtaining the proxies of those owners. We regularly retain the services of Hayden IR to assist with our investor relations and other stockholder communications issues. Hayden IR may assist in the solicitation of proxies but has not, as of the date of this Proxy Statement, been engaged as a proxy solicitor that will receive any additional compensation for these services.

 

Householding

 

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as banks and brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements for two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single set of proxy materials, including the Internet Notice, addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for TechPrecision.

Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may follow the practice of sending only one copy of TechPrecision’s proxy materials to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders.

If you want to receive separate copies of the Proxy Statement in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy for your household, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee record holder, or you may contact us at the address and phone number above.

We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. These SEC filings are also available to the public from commercial document retrieval services and at the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov or at www.techprecision.com.
