---

On January 21, 2026, Super Micro Computer, Inc. Taiwan (the "Borrower"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Super Micro Computer, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a facilities agreement (the "Credit Agreement") by and among the Borrower, as the borrower, the various financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders, CTBC Bank Co., Ltd., Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Taipei Branch and E.Sun Commercial Bank, Ltd. as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners, and CTBC Bank Co., Ltd. as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent").

The Credit Agreement is governed by the laws of Taiwan, and disputes arising out of or in connection with the Credit Agreement are subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Taiwan (the Taiwan Taipei District Court being the court of first instance); the lenders may also take proceedings in any other courts with jurisdiction.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

*The Facilities* 

The Credit Agreement provides for two revolving credit facilities in an initial aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000 ("Facility A1") and $360,000,000 ("Facility A2" and together with Facility A1, the "Facilities"). The Credit Agreement also provides an option for the Borrower to increase the aggregate principal amount of the total commitments under the Facilities, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and provided that the total commitments do not exceed $2,000,000,000 following any such increase.

The proceeds of the Facilities can be applied by the Borrower to the procurement of certain components and/or raw materials. Each utilization request must be for an amount which does not exceed the lesser of the purchase price of the relevant components and/or raw materials listed in the relevant invoice, which invoice must be provided to the lenders, with an issue date no earlier than 100 days prior to the utilization date, or 80% of the amount stated in the relevant purchase order, which purchase order must be provided to the lenders no later than 90 days prior to the utilization date.

The Borrower may request loans under the Facilities at any time until and including the date falling one month prior to the maturity date.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from this Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes, including to fund working capital for growth and business expansion.

*Credit support*

The Company has agreed to guarantee the Facilities and to subordinate all obligations owed to it by the Borrower to the Company's guarantee of the Facilities, pursuant to the terms of a guaranty agreement governed by the laws of the State of New York entered into by the Company on January 21, 2026. The Facilities are secured by (x) a second ranking lien over the Borrower's Bade District Facility located in Taoyuan City, Taiwan, (y) a continuing security interest in all receivables of the Borrower and all proceeds thereof and (z) a continuing security interest in all funds which are placed on term deposit in certain bank accounts held by the Borrower in a maximum pledged amount of $2,400,000,000.

*Pricing*

Each Facility A1 Loan which is denominated in USD will accrue interest at a per annum rate on the basis of (x) TAIFX3 for the applicable interest period (subject to a zero floor) *plus* (y) a margin rate of 1.0%. Each Facility A2 Loan which is denominated in USD will accrue interest at a per annum rate on the basis of (x) Term SOFR for the applicable interest period (subject to a zero floor) *plus* (y) a margin rate of 1.2%. Any Facility A1 and Facility A2 loan which is denominated in NTD will accrue interest at a per annum rate on the basis of (x) TAIBOR (subject to a zero floor) *plus* (y) a margin rate of 1.0%; provided, that, the interest rate applicable to any loan denominated in NTD will never be less than 1.7%.

The Company will pay a commitment fee for any unused and available commitments under the Facilities on each day of the availability period that the daily average utilization amount of the Facilities is less than 50% of the total commitments. The commitment fee accrues in arrears at a rate of 0.15% per annum and is payable on a quarterly basis. A 0.10% fee will be payable by the Borrower to the lenders if the maturity of the Facilities is extended. The Borrower will also pay customary fees to the Finance Parties in connection with the arrangement and administration of the Facilities.

Each prepayment of a loan under the Facilities on a date other than the last day of the interest period applicable thereto and any cancellation of commitments under the Facilities will be subject to a fee of 0.15% of the relevant prepaid amount and/or cancelled amount. The

------

Borrower is responsible for the payment of any stamp tax or gross business receipts tax levied in respect of the Facilities and any loans made thereunder.

*Other terms*

The Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants which are applicable to the Borrower and/or the Company, including, among others, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness by the Borrower, the making of certain guarantees and loans by the Borrower and the Company, the disposition of assets by the Borrower and the Company, the granting of liens by the Borrower and the Company, the making of certain investments by the Borrower, and the making of restricted payments by the Borrower and the Company while an event of default under the Credit Agreement is continuing.

The Credit Agreement also includes events of default, including, but not limited to, (i) a cross-default of financial indebtedness owed by any group member, (ii) certain audit qualifications by the auditors to the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and/or the Company, (iii) the introduction of or change in any currency control regulations applicable to any group member which the lenders reasonably believe has or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect, (iv) nationalization of any material part of the assets of any group member which lenders reasonably believe may result in a material adverse effect, (v) the occurrence of any event, act or circumstance or change in the financial condition, operations or shareholding or management structure of the Borrower which is or is reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect and (vi) the de-listing of or cessation of admission to trading on Nasdaq of the Company's stock or the suspension of trading of the Company's stock on Nasdaq for a period exceeding 10 consecutive trading days, unless the suspension is due to a technical or administrative reason or in connection with any transactions or arrangements which are not materially adverse to the interests of the group.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may terminate their commitments and declare all outstanding amounts under the Facilities immediately due and payable. At any time that there is an unpaid amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the Borrower will pay interest on overdue amounts of all loans, reimbursement obligations, interest or fees owing under the Credit Agreement at a rate of 2.00% per annum, plus, in the case of loans, the interest rate that would otherwise be applicable to such loans; all interest (including default interest) accruing on unpaid amounts which remains outstanding for more than one year following written notice by the lender will be compounded with the unpaid amount.

*Maturity* 

The Facilities mature on the first anniversary of the date of initial utilization under the Facilities, which date, to the extent no utilization is made within the six (6) month period immediately following the signing date of the Credit Agreement, will be deemed to be the first day following the completion of such six month period. The Credit Agreement permits the maturity of the Facilities to be extended on no more than two occasions, in each case by an additional year.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The record date for the determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof is February 17, 2026.

In order to be considered timely, such proposals must be received by the Company's Secretary, David Weigand, no later than February 5, 2026. Any proposal submitted after the above deadline will not be considered timely and will be excluded from the Company's proxy materials. Proposals of stockholders must also comply with rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>SEC</u>") regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in proxy materials and the Company may omit from its proxy materials any proposal that does not comply with the SEC's rules.

Additionally, in accordance with the advance notice provisions set forth in the Company's Bylaws, in order for a stockholder proposal to be submitted outside of Exchange Act Rule 14a-8 or a director nomination submitted by a stockholder to be considered timely, it must be received by the Company's Secretary no later than February 5, 2026, which is the tenth day following the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

All stockholder proposals intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials for the Annual Meeting must comply with applicable Delaware law, the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, and the procedures set forth in the Company's Bylaws.

(b) Upon receipt by the Agent of the Extension Notice delivered by the Borrower in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the Agent shall promptly inform each Lender accordingly. Each Lender may, at its sole discretion, decide whether to grant such extension in respect of such Lender's Commitment and reply to the Agent of its decision. Upon the Lender's consent, the final repayment date of such Lender's Commitment in the Facilities shall be extended from the Original Final Repayment Date to the relevant Extended Final Repayment Date.

(2%) per annum higher than the rate which would have been payable if the Unpaid Sum had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the Unpaid Sum for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 9.3 shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Agent. (b) If any Unpaid Sum consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan: (i) the first Interest Period for that Unpaid Sum shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and (ii) the rate of interest applying to the Unpaid Sum during that first Interest Period shall be two per cent. per annum higher than the rate which would have applied if the Unpaid Sum had not become due. (c) If any interest or default interest remains unpaid for more than one year and

(b) The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of each Funding Rate relating to a Loan. 9.5 GBRT and Stamp Tax on Interest (a) GBRT and Stamp Tax payable with respect to any payment of interest under this Agreement shall be borne and paid by the Borrower together with such payment of interest. (b) For the purpose of this sub-clause, "GBRT" means gross business receipts tax, a form of business tax imposed pursuant to the Value-added and Non-value- added Business Tax Act (including all impositions thereunder whether or not in fact payable to a Governmental Agency or may or is required to be applied to other lawful purposes by the person required to collect the Tax, such as the creation of loan loss reserves) and any like Taxes payable in Taiwan that shall replace GBRT.

(b) In this Agreement "Market Disruption Event" means at or prior to 5:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately following the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in the relevant Loan exceed fifty per cent. (50%) of that Loan) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits from whatever source it may reasonably select would be in excess of the applicable Benchmark Rate. (c) In this Agreement "Unavailability of Benchmark Rate" means that at or about 11:00 a.m. on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the applicable Benchmark Rate is not available to determine the applicable interest rate for the Interest Period.

(d) If paragraph (a) of this Clause 11.2 applies but any Lender does not supply its cost of funds by the time specified in paragraph (a) above the rate of interest shall be calculated on the basis of the cost of funds of the remaining Lenders. 11.3 Break Costs (a) The Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by the Borrower on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum. (b) Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue. 12.

(c) An Existing Lender which retains the right to the Accrued Amounts pursuant to this Clause 24.12 but which does not have a Commitment shall be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote of Lenders under the Finance Documents. 25.
