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,

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

Exhibit 99.1

SIM Acquisition

Corp. I Announces Letter of Intent with AIT for deSPAC Business Combination

NEW YORK, April 28, 2026 - SIM Acquisition

Corp. I (Nasdaq: SIMA) (“SIM”) today announced the execution of a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with American

Industrial Technologies, Inc. (“AIT”), a Nevada corporation, for a proposed deSPAC business combination.

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. For more information about AIT, visit www.weareAIT.com

“After more than three decades in telecom, we’re

proud to be at the center of bringing manufacturing back to the United States while simultaneously expanding our footprint across Europe

and Latin America,” said John Chiorando, CEO and Founder of AIT. “Our next chapter is about developing new verticals around

drones and secure, encrypted devices built for law enforcement, government, and enterprise agencies. We believe that partnering with

SIM will help AIT accelerate its move into these new channels.”

Anthony Hayes, Chairman of SIM stated, “We

believe AIT’s evolution into a fully integrated provider of hardware, logistics, and secure connectivity solutions creates a unique

value proposition in today’s market. Their established carrier relationships, combined with new investments in U.S.-based production

and advanced technologies, position the business at the intersection of several critical industry shifts. We are pleased to take this

important step towards a potential business combination.”

Non-Binding Letter of Intent

The LOI is non-binding and subject to the execution

of definitive agreements, completion of due diligence, required approvals, and customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance

that a transaction will be completed.

Exclusivity

The parties have agreed to an initial 45-day

exclusivity period to undertake due diligence and negotiate a definitive Business Combination Agreement.

formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination

These factors include, but are

as of the date thereof, and the parties assume no obligation to update or revise these statements unless otherwise required by law.

This press release

is not a solicitation of a proxy, consent, or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential business combination

and will not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange any securities, nor will there be any sale

of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification

under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. In connection with the proposed transaction, SIM intends to file a registration statement
