 clear plan and vision for AEye. Our CEO and Chairman, Mr. Fisch, whose deep technical and commercial experience sets him apart in the market, is the right leader to drive our strategy and business forward.As Mr. Dussan said himself when Mr. Fisch joined the Company and before Mr. Dussan was terminated, “the productization experience
Mr. Fisch brings to AEye will be key in taking the Company to the next level.”

Based on his deep technical and product experience, Mr. Fisch is uniquely
qualified to right the ship, continue to execute on our strategy, and deliver results. In addition to successfully bringing dozens of
category-defining products to market in the semiconductor space during his time at Intel, Mr. Fisch’s diversified experience at
HARMAN, Gentherm, Verifone, and North American Bankcard position him to guide AEye through this critical execution phase. Mr. Fisch’s
technical and product perspective at Verifone ultimately proved critical to Verifone’s strategic sale for $4 billion, and in that
role, Mr. Fisch was chosen to stay on to see through the transition and continue his focus on product excellence.

⁘ The Company remains committed to transparency; the Dissident Group has no desire to constructively engage with our Board and management.

Our Company’s CEO, Mr. Fisch, and General Counsel, Mr. Hughes, have
taken time away from their significant responsibilities to the Company to meet with Mr. Wuller on multiple occasions and respond to his
unprofessional and unproductive messages. Our Board and management have not ignored the Dissident Group or any other stockholder. Rather,
we listened to what they had to say and sought opportunities to work constructively and transparently with individuals interested in the
success of AEye. Mr. Wuller has shown a refusal to accept the Board’s informed and deliberated decision-making as such decision-making
was not aligned with his outdated and ill-informed perspectives. The Board did not find his repeated efforts to message the Company to
be substantive and such actions only resulted in distractions to our management and Board from critical business matters. Notwithstanding, we remain committed to welcoming feedback from all of our stockholders and believe that it is in our stockholders’ best interest to engage in productive conversations about the success of the Company.

⁘ The Board and management team are more optimistic than ever about the Company’s long-term outlook and strategic direction.Our customer funnel is stronger than ever,
