Dear AEYE, Inc. Shareholder:

Executive Summary

It’s time for a change. Since going public in 2021 AEye has
suffered a drop in market capitalization from $1.3 billion to $13 million, a loss of more than 99%. The Company’s two board nominees
have had over three years to prove they are taking the company in the right direction and have shown the exact opposite. At the same time
the Board and CEO compensation is far above industry standards and isn’t tied to performance.

The Founders Group members are incredibly knowledgeable, passionate,
and well-connected in this industry, and are long time shareholders deeply frustrated with the lack of progress.

We have a plan to take AEye in a new direction, but we need your
help to do it. AEye has crater
