         | Mr. Simon’s recent Board appointment is part of our ongoing commitment to ensure we have a Board with diverse experiences and perspectives to benefit shareholders and provide effective oversight. Mr. Simon brings expertise in automotive data and various high-tech industries.                                                                                                              |
| X The Dissident Group represents change.                                        | The Dissidents have presented no credible plan for the Company’s future. Their reckless spending and strategic missteps during their tenure were dilutive to shareholder value, which current management is working to fix.                                                                                                                                                                      |
| X The Dissident Group is aligned with your interests.                           | Mr. Dussan sold ~50% of his holdings over the past two years while our CEO Matt Fisch increased his reported ownership by ~700%.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| X We are opposed to constructive engagement and diverse perspectives.           | We have constructively engaged with the Dissident Group on the phone, in person, and over email on numerous occasions. The Dissident Group has failed to provide any constructive or actionable plan for AEye’s future. We welcome the views of all our stockholders.                                                                                                                            |
