Protect AEye & Your Investment We believe that a vote for AEye’s highly qualified, independent director nominees, Timothy Dunn and Sue Zeifman, is in the best interest of the Company and ALL stockholders. • Strategic Turnaround & Strong Execution : Since 2023, our Board and leadership team have revitalized AEye, accelerated development of and launched Apollo, reduced spend by 75%*, raised $24M, and built the largest customer pipeline in AEye history. • Our Qualified Nominees and Leadership Team : Directors Timothy Dunn & Sue Zeifman bring critical, business - relevant expertise that directly supports AEye’s growth. Our Board and CEO Matt Fisch’s expertise is essential to the Company’s future success a nd ability to execute its core strategy. • Continued Alignment with ALL Stockholders : Our management and Board have increased their AEye stock ownership, demonstrating their continued commitment to providing long - term value to, and aligning themselves with, shareholders , while Dissident Group members have divested from AEye . Additionally, the Board is committed to ongoing refreshment to ensure that it has the skills and expertise to meet AEye’s needs in an evolving industry landscape. By contrast, the Dissident Group’s Nominees have no public board experience , no expertise that matches AEye’s critical needs and no credible plan that they have presented for AEye’s future. Members of the Dissident Group have a weak track record , making or approving business decisions that remain dilutive to shareholder value even today. Don’t derail AEye’s progress — vote WHITE proxy card "FOR" Dunn and Zeifman and "AGAINST" dissident proposals *Based on the Company’s cash use or burn in the first quarter of 2023 at $20.1 million as compared to the cash use or burn in th e fourth quarter of 2024 at $4.6 million. 4
