 many votes are needed to elect directors? Members of the GSI Technology Board of Directors are elected by plurality vote. Accordingly, the five persons duly nominated at the annual meeting who receive the highest number of FOR votes will be elected as directors. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS How many votes are needed to approve proposals Nos. 2 and 3? The appointment of BDO USA, P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal No. 2) and approval of the advisory (non-binding) vote regarding fiscal 2025 executive officer compensation (Proposal No. 3) each require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting on such proposal at the annual meeting. How are broker non-votes and abstentions treated? A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker, bank or other nominee holds shares in street name for the beneficial owner but, with respect to a particular proposal, does not have discretionary authority to vote the shares (i.e., it is a “non-routine” matter) and has not received timely voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Broker non-votes and abstentions are counted as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting. Votes withheld and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors (Proposal No. 1). Proposals Nos. 2 and 3 each requires the affirmative vote of a majority of shares represented and voting on such proposal at the annual meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will reduce the number of shares voting on such proposal as well as the number of shares in favor of the proposal and, therefore, will have no impact on the results of voting. Can I revoke my proxy or change my vote? Yes. You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the annual meeting. If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote in any of the following ways: • by signing and returning a proxy card with a later date that is received before the polls close at the annual meeting; • by voting again via the Internet or by telephone before the polls close at the annual meeting; • by voting during the audio webcast of the annual meeting; or • by giving written notice of revocation to the Company’s Corporate Secretary. Please note that attendance at the audio webcast of the annual meeting, in and of itself, will not revoke your proxy. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you
