### YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT
**We are using the “Full Set Delivery” method of providing proxy materials to all stockholders of record. Because we have elected to utilize the “Full Set Delivery” option, on or about [•], 2025, we expect to electronically deliver or mail to all stockholders copies of this Proxy Statement, our Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and form of WHITE universal proxy card, as well as providing access to those proxy materials on a publicly accessible website. This Proxy Statement, form of WHITE universal proxy card, and the other Annual Meeting materials are available on the internet at [•] using the control number located on your WHITE universal proxy card or in the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. A copy of our 2024 Annual Report and Proxy Statement are also available on the “Investor Relations” section of our principal corporate website at https://www.aeye.ai.
