A Letter From CEO Charles Liang

Dear Valued Stakeholders,

I am reaching out about the indictment unsealed by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. The charges address the conduct of three individuals associated with Supermicro related to alleged export-control violations.

Supermicro is NOT named as a defendant in the indictment.

I am deeply saddened and shocked that actions of these individuals were placed above our mission and our responsibility to national security. It appears that Supermicro has been a victim of the elaborate schemes orchestrated by these individuals, which deceived both federal authorities and our internal compliance team.

We have taken action against all identified employees and those parties no longer have any relationship with Supermicro. Mr. Wally Liaw has also resigned from the Company's board of directors. The conduct alleged in the indictment is a contravention of Supermicro's policies and compliance controls. We maintain a robust compliance program and are committed to full adherence to all applicable U.S. export and re-export control laws and regulations. We continue to support and fully cooperate with the government investigation. We are currently implementing even more rigorous oversight to further enhance our export control system and ensure that our technology is handled with the highest level of ethical and legal scrutiny. In addition, we have promoted Deanna Luna to be our new acting Chief Compliance Officer.

This has no impact on our business operations. Our focus remains on delivering high-performance and reliable solutions, driving first-to-market innovation and supporting our customers' infrastructure needs with the quality and service they depend on from Supermicro. The formal statements we issued regarding this matter are available on our website. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to your typical company contact.

As always, thank you for your strong partnership and support.

Sincerely,

Charles Liang
Founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer
