PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

(To Prospectus dated July 10, 2025)

3,730,000 Shares of Common Stock

We are offering 3,730,000 shares (the "Shares") of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock") pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

We have granted the underwriter an option for a period of 30 days to purchase up to 559,500 additional shares of Common Stock from us on the same terms. If the underwriter exercises the option in full, the total proceeds to us, before expenses, will be $3.290 per Share.

Investing in our common stock involves risks. See "Risk Factors" on page S-5 of this prospectus supplement and on page 6 of the accompanying prospectus concerning factors you should consider before investing in our common stock.

We are an "emerging growth company" and a "smaller reporting company" as such terms are defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, are subject to certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol "SHIM." On May 21, 2026, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq was $4.03 per share. As of May 21, 2026, the aggregate market value of our outstanding Common Stock held by non-affiliates was approximately $33.4 million, which was calculated based on 8,278,806 shares of outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates multiplied by a price per share of $4.03, the closing price of our Common Stock on that date. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell the shelf securities in a public primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of the aggregate market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates in any 12-month period immediately prior to the date of any such offering, so long as the aggregate market value of our outstanding Common Stock held by non-affiliates remains below $75 million. During the 12 calendar months prior to and including the date of this prospectus supplement, we have not offered or sold any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus supplement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our Common Stock. You should carefully read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the "Risk Factors" section and the documents incorporated by reference, before making an investment decision.

Business Overview

Shimmick is an industry leader in delivering turnkey infrastructure solutions that strengthen critical markets across water, energy, climate resiliency, and sustainable transportation. With a track record that spans over a century, Shimmick, headquartered in California, unites deep engineering heritage with entrepreneurial spirit to tackle today's most complex infrastructure challenges. We integrate technical excellence with collaborative project delivery methods to provide innovative, technology-driven infrastructure solutions that accelerate economic growth and empower communities nationwide.

We have a long history of successfully completing complex water projects, ranging from the world's largest wastewater recycling and purification system in California to the iconic Hoover Dam. According to Engineering News Record, in 2025, we are nationally ranked as a top fifteen builder of water supply (#12), dams and reservoirs (#8), and water treatment and desalination plants (#11). Our business includes construction operations from Morrison Knudsen and Washington Group International which were consolidated in 2017 by AECOM. In 2021, we were sold by AECOM and became an independent company under new private ownership. In November 2023, we completed our initial public offering (the "IPO") and currently our stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "SHIM".

Recent Developments

On May 8, 2026, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued a notice of termination with respect to the lock chamber contract with Shimmick Construction Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, at the Chickamauga Lock Replacement Project on the Tennessee River in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The Company disputes the basis for the termination and is evaluating all available legal remedies, and intends to appeal the contracting officer's decision. As a result of the notice of termination and previously estimated contract revenue, the Company recognized a reduction of $19 million in revenue and cost of revenue within the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended April 3, 2026. The Company also has various claims in process with respect to this project. The outcome and timing of these claims, as well as the ultimate resolution with respect to the termination of this contract, is uncertain, and could have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Additional Information

Our principal executive offices are located at 530 Technology Drive, Suite 300, Irvine, CA 92618. Our telephone number is (833) 723-2021, and our website is www.shimmick.com.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company

We qualify as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "Jobs Act"). As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

•

being permitted to provide only two years of audited financial statements, in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" disclosure;

•

an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act;

•

reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements;

•

exemptions from the requirements to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation or seek shareholder approval of golden parachute arrangements not previously approved; and

•

an exemption from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act") in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

We expect to take advantage of some or all of the reduced and other requirements that will be available to us as long as we qualify as an emerging growth company. We will, in general, remain an emerging growth company for up to five full fiscal years from the effectiveness of our initial registration statement in November 2023. We will cease to be an emerging growth company and become ineligible to rely on the above exemptions if we:

•

have $1.235 billion or more in annual revenue in a fiscal year;

•

issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt during any three-year period; or

•

become a "large accelerated filer" as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

We are also a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act. We may remain a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company, we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

We have taken advantage of these reduced reporting requirements in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the information incorporated herein by reference. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different from the information you receive from other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies.

RISK FACTORS

Investment in the Shares offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus involves risks. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the risks described below along with the risk factors incorporated by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained in the accompanying prospectus and any applicable free writing prospectus. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the Shares. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also carefully read the section entitled "Forward-Looking Statements" included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Risks Relating to This Offering

We have broad discretion in the use of the proceeds of this offering and may apply the proceeds in ways with which you do not agree.

Our net proceeds from this offering will be used primarily for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of debt, funding capital expenditures, financing working capital needs, funding our operations, or financing potential acquisitions. We may also use a portion of the proceeds for the potential acquisition of businesses although we have no current binding understandings, commitments or agreements to do so. Our management will have broad discretion over the use and investment of these net proceeds and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our Common Stock. Accordingly, you will have to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to our use of these net proceeds, with only limited information concerning management's specific intentions. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether we used the net proceeds from this offering appropriately. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds, if any, from this offering or our existing cash in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

Future sales and issuances of our Common Stock, including by us and significant stockholders, could negatively affect our stock price.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock by our existing stockholders in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the issuance of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our Common Stock.

Sales of substantial amounts of shares of our Common Stock or other securities by these investors or our other stockholders or by us, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of our Common Stock intend to sell their shares, could reduce the trading price of our Common Stock, make it more difficult for you to sell your shares at a price that you desire and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of equity or equity-related securities. In addition, to the extent we raise additional capital by issuing additional shares of our Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, our existing stockholders may experience substantial dilution, while future investors could gain rights superior to existing stockholders, such as liquidation and other preferences.

S-5

Table of Contents

If you purchase Common Stock in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

The public offering price per share in this offering is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share before giving effect to this offering. Accordingly, if you purchase shares in this offering, you will incur immediate substantial dilution of approximately $4.80 per share, representing the difference between the public offering price per share and our adjusted net tangible book value as of April 3, 2026. In addition, the exercise of outstanding stock options may result in further dilution of your investment. See the section entitled "Dilution" below for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you participate in this offering.

You may experience dilution as a result of future issuances of equity securities, which may adversely affect the per share trading price of our Common Stock.

This offering will have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share and funds from operations per share after giving effect to the issuance of our Common Stock and the receipt of the expected net proceeds. The per share trading price of our Common Stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our Common Stock in the market in connection with this offering, or otherwise, or as a result of the perception or expectation that such sales could occur. In addition, we are not prohibited from offering in the future other shares of our Common Stock, preferred stock, convertible or other equity-linked securities which could have a similar dilutive effect.

Risks Relating to the Securities Markets and Ownership of Our Common Stock

The price of our Common Stock is and may continue to be volatile and you may not be able to resell our Common Stock at or above the price you paid.

The market price for shares of our Common Stock is volatile and may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which we cannot control, such as quarterly fluctuations in financial results, the timing and our ability to advance the commercialization of our products and technologies or changes in securities analysts' recommendations could cause the price of our Common Stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, stock markets generally have recently experienced volatility. The price of our Common Stock is likely to experience significant volatility in the future. The price of our Common Stock may decline and the value of any investment in our Common Stock may be reduced regardless of our performance. Further, the daily trading volume of our Common Stock has historically been relatively low. As a result of the historically low volume, our stockholders may be unable to sell significant quantities of common stock in the public trading markets without a significant reduction in the price of shares of our Common Stock. Each of these factors, among others, could harm your investment in our Common Stock and could result in your being unable to resell the shares of our Common Stock that you purchase at a price equal to or above the price you paid.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, the terms of any future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our Common Stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

Because we are relying on the exemptions from corporate governance requirements as a result of being a "controlled company" within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards, you do not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

Our Executive Chairman and entities affiliated with him control a majority of our Common Stock. As a result, we are a controlled company within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards. Under these rules, a

S-6

Table of Contents

company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, a group or another company is a controlled company and may elect not to comply with certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, including (1) the requirement that a majority of the Board of Directors consist of independent directors, (2) the requirement that we have a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities, and (3) the requirement that we have a Compensation Committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities. Accordingly, you do not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. We currently rely on the controlled company exemptions permitted by Nasdaq with respect to the composition of our Compensation Committee, and although each of our Board and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is composed of a majority of independent directors, we may rely on controlled company exemptions permitted by Nasdaq with respect to that committee's composition in the future. In the event that we cease to be a controlled company, we will be required to comply with these provisions within the transition periods specified by Nasdaq listing standards.

As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, our actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward- looking statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares in this offering will be approximately $12.27 million ($14.11 million if the underwriter exercises their option to purchase Option Shares in full), after deducting the underwriter's discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. Pending these uses, the net proceeds may be invested temporarily or applied to repay short-term debt until they are used for their stated purpose.

The amount and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the factors described under "Risk Factors" in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporate by reference herein. Therefore, as of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty the amount of net proceeds to be used for the purposes described above. While we intend to spend the net proceeds of the offering as stated above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be necessary or advisable. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of these proceeds.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock and currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination relating to dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our future earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, future prospects, applicable law and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.

DILUTION

If you purchase our Common Stock in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and the net tangible book value (deficit) per share of our Common Stock after this offering. We calculate net tangible book value (deficit) per share by dividing our net tangible assets (tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding as of April 3, 2026.

Our historical net tangible book value (deficit) at April 3, 2026 was approximately $(63.9) million, or $(1.77) per share. After giving effect to the sale of 3,730,000 Shares at the offering price of $3.50 per share, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) as of April 3, 2026 would have been approximately $(51.7) million or $(1.30) per share of Common Stock. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value (deficit) of $0.47 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value (deficit) of $4.80 per share issued to the purchaser purchasing the Shares in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

2,030,389 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options at a weighted-average price of $1.26 per share;

•

2,414,412 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the vesting and settlement of outstanding restricted stock units; and

•

2,073,033 additional shares of our Common Stock that are reserved for issuance under our 2023 Equity Incentive Plan and 2021 Stock Plan.

To the extent that outstanding options as of April 3, 2026 have been or are exercised, or other shares are issued, investors purchasing shares in this offering could experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the future sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriter are subject to certain conditions precedent such as the receipt by the underwriter of officers' certificates and legal opinions and approval of certain legal matters by its counsel. The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriter will purchase all of the Shares if any of them are purchased. We have agreed to indemnify the underwriter and certain of its controlling persons and affiliates against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to contribute to payments that the underwriter may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

Option to Purchase Additional Shares

We have granted the underwriter an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement, to purchase, from time to time, in whole or in part, up to 559,500 Option Shares at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, less underwriting discounts. If the underwriter exercises this option, the underwriter will be obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase the Option Shares.

Commission and Expenses

The underwriter has advised us that it proposes to offer the Shares to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and to certain dealers, which may include the underwriter, at that price less a concession not in excess of $0.105 per Share. After the initial offering the underwriter may change the offering price and other selling terms.

The following table shows the public offering price, the underwriting discounts and commissions that we are to pay the underwriter and the proceeds, before expenses, to us in connection with this offering.

•

enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise,

•

make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any Lock-Up Securities or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Lock-Up Securities, or

•

publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing for a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus supplement without the prior written consent of Roth.

The restrictions in the immediately preceding paragraph do not apply in certain circumstances, including:

•

as a bona fide gift or gifts,

•

to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of any such person or the immediate family of any such person (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, "immediate family" shall mean any spouse, domestic partner, lineal descendant (including adopted children), father, mother, brother or sister of any such person),

•

pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement,

•

by will or intestate succession to the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or immediate family of any such person upon the death of any such person, or

•

issuances of Common Stock upon the exercise, conversion or settlement of options or restricted stock units disclosed as outstanding in the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement is a part.

Roth may, in its sole discretion and at any time or from time to time before the termination of the 90-day period, release all or any portion of the securities subject to lock-up agreements.

Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions

The underwriter may make a market in the shares of Common Stock as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. However, the underwriter is not obligated to do so, and the underwriter may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice in their sole discretion. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the shares of Common Stock, that you will be able to sell any of the shares of Common Stock held by you at a particular time or that the prices that you receive when you sell will be favorable.

The underwriter has advised us that they, pursuant to Regulation M under the Exchange Act, may engage in short sale transactions, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids

S-14

Table of Contents

in connection with this offering. These activities may have the effect of stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the shares of Common Stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Establishing short sales positions may involve either "covered" short sales or "naked" short sales.

"Covered" short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriter's option to purchase Option Shares in this offering. The underwriter may close out any covered short position by either exercising its option to purchase Option Shares or purchasing our shares of Common Stock in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which it may purchase shares through the option to purchase Option Shares.

"Naked" short sales are sales in excess of the option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock. The underwriter must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our shares of Common Stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.

A stabilizing bid is a bid for the purchase of shares of Common Stock on behalf of the underwriter for the purpose of fixing or maintaining the price of the shares of Common Stock. A syndicate covering transaction is the bid for or the purchase of shares of Common Stock on behalf of the underwriter to reduce a short position incurred by the underwriter in connection with the offering. Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriter's purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our shares of Common Stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our shares of Common Stock. As a result, the price of our shares of Common Stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. A penalty bid is an arrangement permitting the underwriter to reclaim the selling concession otherwise accruing to a syndicate member in connection with the offering if the shares of Common Stock originally sold by such syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction and therefore have not been effectively placed by such syndicate member.

Neither we nor the underwriter make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our shares of Common Stock. The underwriter is not obligated to engage in these activities and, if commenced, may end any of these activities at any time. These transactions may be effected on Nasdaq in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

Electronic Distribution

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus may be made available in electronic format on a website maintained by the underwriter, and the underwriter may distribute this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus electronically.

Conflicts of Interest

The underwriter and certain of its respective affiliates is a full service financial institution engaged in a wide range of activities for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, which may include, among other things, corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, merchant banking, equity and fixed income sales, trading and research, derivatives, foreign exchange, futures, asset management, custody, clearance and securities lending. The underwriter and certain of its affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various investment banking and financial advisory services for us and our affiliates, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

In addition, in the ordinary course of its business, the underwriter and its respective affiliates may, directly or indirectly, hold long or short positions, trade and otherwise conduct such activities in or with respect to debt or

S-15

equity securities and/or bank debt of, and/or derivative products. Such investment and securities activities may involve our securities and instruments. The underwriter and its respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Roth acted as our exclusive sales agent in connection with our at-the-market offering facility established in September 2025 and received compensation in connection therewith. To the extent required by Regulation M, Roth will not engage in any market-making activities involving our Common Stock while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus supplement.

There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results.

If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also carefully read the section entitled "Forward-Looking Statements" included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following describes our common stock and preferred stock and certain terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws. This description is a summary only and is subject to the complete text of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each of which has been publicly filed with the SEC, as well as the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or the DGCL.

General

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes capital stock consisting of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.

As of July 2, 2025, 35,273,091 shares of our common stock are issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock are outstanding.

Common Stock

Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters on which holders are permitted to vote, including the election of directors. There are no cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of shares entitled to vote in an election of directors are able to elect all of the directors standing for election.

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of the common stock will share equally on a per share basis any dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. If we are liquidated, dissolved or wound up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to a ratable share of any distribution to stockholders, after satisfaction of all of our liabilities and of the prior rights of any outstanding class of our preferred stock. Our common stock does not carry any preemptive or other subscription rights to purchase shares of our stock and are not convertible, redeemable or assessable.

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock from time to time in one or more series and to fix the number of shares and terms of each such series. The board may determine the designation and other terms of each series, including, among others:

•

dividend rates,

•

whether dividends will be cumulative or non-cumulative,

•

redemption rights,

•

liquidation rights,

•

sinking fund provisions,

•

conversion or exchange rights, and

•

voting rights.

The issuance of preferred stock, while providing us with flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could reduce the relative voting power of holders of our common stock. It could also affect the likelihood that holders of our common stock will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation.

Anti-takeover Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws include a number of provisions that may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control of our company, including the following:

Authorized Capital. The issuance of shares of capital stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase shares of capital stock, could be used to discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company. For example, if, in the exercise of its fiduciary obligations, our board of directors determined that a takeover proposal was not in the best interest of our stockholders, the board could authorize the issuance of preferred stock or common stock without stockholder approval. The shares could be issued in one or more transactions that might prevent or make the completion of the change of control transaction more difficult or costly by:

•

diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group,

•

creating a substantial voting bloc in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the position of the incumbent board, or

•

effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover.

In this regard, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation grants our board of directors broad power to establish the rights and preferences of the authorized and unissued preferred stock. Our board could establish one or more series of preferred stock that entitle holders to:

•

vote separately as a class on any proposed merger or consolidation,

•

cast a proportionately larger vote together with our common stock on any transaction or for all purposes,

•

elect directors having terms of office or voting rights greater than those of other directors,

•

convert preferred stock into a greater number of shares of our common stock or other securities,

•

demand redemption at a specified price under prescribed circumstances related to a change of control of our company, or

•

exercise other rights designed to impede a takeover.

Alternatively, a change of control transaction deemed by the board to be in the best interest of our stockholders could be facilitated by issuing a series of preferred stock having sufficient voting rights to provide a required percentage vote of the stockholders.

Action by Written Consent. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide that holders of our common stock are not able to act by written consent without a meeting.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations. Our amended and restated bylaws provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at any meeting of stockholders. Our amended and restated bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder's notice. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our meetings of stockholders.

Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws. Certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws that have anti-takeover effects may be amended only by the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of our outstanding shares of voting stock, voting together as a single class. This has the effect of making it more difficult to amend our certificate of incorporation or bylaws to remove or modify these provisions. The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of our outstanding shares of stock is generally able

Table of Contents

to amend other provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the holders of a majority of the voting power present and entitled to vote is generally able to amend other provisions of our amended and restated bylaws.

These provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire of control of us by means of a tender offer, merger, proxy contest or otherwise. Accordingly, these provisions could have the effect of discouraging coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection give us the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us, and that the benefits of this increased protection outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging those proposals, because negotiation of those proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Exclusive Forum

Our amended and restated charter documents provide, subject to limited exceptions, that unless we consent to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction another state or the federal court (as appropriate) located within the State of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any (1) derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (2) action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee or stockholder of ours to us or our stockholders, (3) action asserting a claim against us or any current or former director or officer of ours arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (4) action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the federal securities laws of the United States, including any claims under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. However, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and accordingly, we cannot be certain that a court would enforce such provision. It is possible that a court could find our forum selection provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable and, accordingly, we could be required to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions, incur additional costs or otherwise not receive the benefits that we expect our forum selection provisions to provide.

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in our amended and restated charter documents. Our exclusive forum provision shall not relieve us of our duties to comply with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, and our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with these laws, rules and regulations.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors and certain officers to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors' fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors and officers for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the rights of us and our stockholders, through stockholders' derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of fiduciary

10

Table of Contents

duty as a director, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior. This provision does not limit or eliminate the liability of any officer in any action by or in the right of the Company, including any derivative claims. Further, the exculpation does not apply to any director or officer if the director or officer has breached the duty of loyalty to the corporation and its stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, or derived an improper benefit from his or her actions as a director or officer. In addition, exculpation does not apply to any director in connection with the authorization of illegal dividends, redemptions or stock repurchases.

Our amended and restated bylaws provide that we must generally indemnify, and advance expenses to, our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. We also are expressly authorized to carry directors' and officers' liability insurance providing indemnification for our directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities. We also have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors, which agreements will require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. We believe that these indemnification and advancement provisions, and insurance will be useful to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.

The limitation of liability, indemnification and advancement provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors or officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
