<div align='center'>PROPOSAL 5

APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS</div>

In accordance with the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, also known as the Dodd-Frank Act, and the related rules enacted by the SEC, the Company is submitting an advisory “say-on-pay” resolution for shareholder consideration. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation or any specific named executive officer, but rather the overall compensation of all of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement.

As described in the Executive Compensation section of this Proxy Statement, the Company believes that its executive compensation program is designed to support the Company’s long-term success by achieving the following objectives:

| 1. | reward executive officers for performance and link executive compensation to the creation of shareholder value through the use of performance and equity-based compensation; |
| 2. | attract, retain and motivate highly qualified executive officers by compensating them at a level that is competitive with other companies in similar industries;             |
| 3. | share the risks and rewards of the Company’s business with the Company’s executive officers; and                                                                             |
| 4. | maximize long-term shareholder returns by utilizing compensation funds in a cost-effective manner.                                                                           |

The Company urges shareholders to read the section of this Proxy Statement captioned “Executive Compensation,” as well as the “Summary Compensation Table” and the related compensation tables and narrative that follow it. This information provides detailed information regarding the Company’s executive compensation program, policy and processes, as well as the compensation of named executive officers. The program balances medium-term and long-term compensation elements to achieve the defined objectives and link executive compensation with shareholder value.

This vote is advisory and, therefore, will not be binding upon the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board. Although this resolution is non-binding, the Compensation Committee and the Board value the opinions that shareholders express in their vote and will review and consider the outcome of the vote when making future executive compensation decisions.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders of Aehr Test Systems, or the Company, approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers described in the Executive Compensation section, the Summary Compensation Table, and the related compensation tables and narrative in the Proxy Statement for the Company
