This is a supplement, dated March 31, 2022, to the proxy statement, dated March 4, 2022, for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Mayville Engineering Company, Inc. (the “Company”). This supplement updates the proxy statement for certain developments that occurred after the date of the proxy statement.

On March 31, 2022, the Company announced that Robert D. Kamphuis, the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, will retire as of September 30, 2022, and that the Company will be retaining the services of a nationally recognized executive search firm to conduct a nationwide search for a new Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Kamphuis is one of the two nominees for election as a director at the Annual Meeting and will remain a nominee, but, if elected as a director at the Annual Meeting, he will retire as a director as of September 30, 2022, when he retires from the Company.

In connection with his retirement announcement, the Company and Mr. Kamphuis entered into a Retirement Transition Agreement (the “Retirement Agreement”) and an Agreement on Confidentiality, Assignment of Intellectual Property, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). The Retirement Agreement provides for Mr. Kamphuis’s continued employment until September 30, 2022 (the “Retirement Date”) and that the Board of Directors of the Company may accelerate the Retirement Date in its discretion, provided that, even if the Retirement Date is accelerated, the Company will continue to honor the terms and conditions of the Retirement Agreement. The Retirement Agreement also provides that Mr. Kamphuis will continue to receive his current base salary through September 30, 2022 and will be eligible to receive a pro-rated bonus for 2022 based on actual performance; his then-unvested equity-based awards will be forfeited as of the Retirement Date; his then-vested stock options will remain outstanding and will expire on the 10th anniversary of the grant date of such options to the extent not exercised prior to such 10th anniversary, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement; and the Company will repurchase Mr. Kamphuis’s residence for his original purchase price upon request at any time prior to March 15, 2023. Under the Confidentiality Agreement, Mr. Kamphuis will be subject to customary confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation obligations and will agree to customary provisions regarding assignment of intellectual property.

Other than the foregoing, the proxy statement is unchanged from the one mailed to shareholders on or about March 4, 2022 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2022.
