DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

These Post-Effective Amendments (these “Post-Effective Amendments”) relate to the following Registration Statements on Form S-3 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) of SMTC Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“SMTC”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”):

On April 5, 2021, EMS Silver Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of EMS Silver Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), completed its merger (the “Merger”) with and into the Company, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 3, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, Merger Sub and the Company. The Company was the surviving corporation in the Merger and, as a result, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

As a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, SMTC has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statements. Accordingly, pursuant to the undertaking contained in Part II, Item 9 in the Registration Statements pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company is filing these Post-Effective Amendments to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statements to deregister and remove from registration all of the securities registered under the Registration Statements which remained unissued under the Registration Statements as of the effective time of the Merger. The Registration Statements are hereby amended, as applicable, to reflect the deregistration of all such securities registered on the above-referenced Registration Statements that have not been sold or offered or otherwise remain unissued.  After giving effect to these Post-Effective Amendments, there will be no remaining securities registered by the Company pursuant to the Registration Statements.
