Item 8.01 Other Events

Entry into a Letter of Intent

On April 26, 2026, SIM Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”) and American Industrial Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“AIT”, together with the Company, the “Parties”) entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) for the acquisition (“Acquisition”) by the Company of 100% of the outstanding equity and equity equivalents of AIT upon the terms and conditions to be set forth in certain definitive documents, to be negotiated by the Parties (the “Definitive Documents”).

Among other segments, AIT will operate Q1, which is a 33-year leader in telecommunications that has evolved into a fully integrated platform spanning manufacturing, logistics, distribution, and connected device ecosystems. Building on its deep relationships with Tier 1 and Tier 2 carriers, AIT has scaled a robust Third-Party Logistics and Fourth-Party Logistics and e-commerce infrastructure that supports global distribution across the United States, Europe, and Latin America.

The parties intend to negotiate the Definitive Documents that will incorporate the provisions of the LOI as well as other terms and conditions typical for transactions of this nature. During the initial 45-day period from the date of the LOI, the parties have agreed not to solicit or encourage submission of, or participate in discussions or enter into any agreement regarding any other acquisition proposal, which period will automatically renew for one additional 15-day period if the Parties continue to work in good faith towards negotiation of the proposed transaction.

Other than the provisions relating to confidentiality, expenses, exclusivity, waiver against trust, termination, governing law, jurisdiction, waiver of jury trial and miscellaneous, no terms of the LOI are binding until the Definitive Documents are signed by the Parties.

On April 28, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the signing of the LOI. A copy of the press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
