FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TechPrecision Announces Retirement of Four Directors, Names Richard McGowan as Chairman

Westminster, MA – April 5, 2017 – TechPrecision Corporation (OTCQB: TPCS) (“TechPrecision” or “the Company”), an industry leading manufacturer of precision, large-scale fabricated and machined metal components and tested systems with customers in the defense, energy and precision industrial sectors, today announced that, effective March 31, 2017, Mr. Leonard M. Anthony, Mr. Phillip A. Dur, Mr. Michael R. Holly and Mr. Robert G. Isaman have each retired from the Board of Directors to become consultants to the company and that Mr. Richard S. McGowan has been appointed Chairman of the Board.

Speaking on behalf of the Board, Mr. McGowan commented, “The reduction in Board size to one more consistent with the size of the company will enable us to better serve the shareholders and company. We thank those who helped restore the company to profitability and welcome their continued assistance in their consulting roles. The Board wants to emphasize to the shareholders that we are dedicated to maximizing shareholder value.”

Former Board Chairman Len Anthony added, “Under the leadership of Alex Shen, and the guidance of the board, TechPrecision has successfully navigated significant challenges, and emerged a strong, stable, and well-positioned company. As a profitable company with an improved balance sheet, TechPrecision has a stable base from which to grow, and this is the ideal time for several long-standing directors to step down, affording the recently added board members an opportunity to facilitate the next phase in the company’s evolution. Additionally, I want to thank the retiring directors for their service and efforts to put TechPrecision back on a sustainable course.”
