ing to corporate governance practices that meet applicable U.S. corporate governance standards.  Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that serve as a flexible framework within which our Board and its committees operate.  These guidelines cover a number of areas including the size and composition of the Board, Board membership criteria and director qualifications, director responsibilities, Board agenda, meetings of independent directors, committee responsibilities and assignments, Board member access to management and independent advisors, director communications with third parties, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, evaluation of senior management, and management succession planning.

The full text of our Corporate Governance Guidelines may be viewed on the “Investors Relations” section of our principal corporate website at www.aeye.ai.

BOARD SELF-ASSESSMENT

The Board anticipates that it will conduct, and that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will oversee, an annual self-evaluation to determine whether our Board is functioning effectively.  Our Board will periodically consider the mix of skills and experience that directors bring to the Board to assess whether the Board has the necessary tools to perform its oversight function effectively.

In addition, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Audit Committee, and Compensation Committee each plan to conduct their own annual self-assessment, which includes an assessment of the adequacy of their performance as compared to their respective charters.

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS OF INDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBERS

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that our non-employee directors meet in executive session at least four times per year, with no members of management or non-independent directors present.

COMMUNICATING WITH OUR DIRECTORS

Our Board welcomes communications from the Company’s stockholders, and it is the policy of the Company to facilitate communication from stockholders.  Our Board generally believes it is in the Company’s best interests that designated members of management speak on behalf of the Company.  Stockholders and other interested parties wishing to communicate with our Board or with an individual Board member concerning the Company may do so by writing to our Board or to a particular Board member, by mailing such correspondence to AEye, Inc., c/o Corporate Secretary, 4670 Willow Road, Suite 125, Pleasanton, CA 94588.

Please indicate on the envelope or in the email whether the communication is from a stockholder or other interested party.  Our Board has instructed the Corporate Secretary and other relevant members of management to examine incoming communications and forward such communication to our Board or the individual Board members, as appropriate, if such communications are deemed relevant to the Board
