On November 18, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Super Micro Computer, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed BDO USA, P.C. (“BDO”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm. A copy of the press release (the “Press Release”) announcing, among other things, the appointment of BDO is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and the subsequent interim periods through November 18, 2024, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with BDO regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that BDO concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; (ii) any matter that was the subject of a “disagreement” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions; or (iii) any “reportable event” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

As announced in the Press Release, on November 18, 2024, the Company submitted a compliance plan (the “Compliance Plan”) to The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) to support its request for an extension of time to regain compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirements. In the Compliance Plan, the Company indicated that it believes it will be able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 and become current with its periodic filings within the discretionary period available to the Nasdaq staff to grant.
