Approval, on an Advisory Basis, of the Compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers
ManagementBoard: FORApprove, on a non-binding advisory basis, the overall compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as described in the Executive Compensation section and related compensation tables and narrative.
More detail
Proposal 3 asks shareholders to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the overall compensation of Aehr Test Systems’ named executive officers. It is a Dodd-Frank say-on-pay vote and does not target any single executive or isolated compensation element. The resolution covers the compensation philosophy, policies, practices, Summary Compensation Table, and related executive-compensation disclosures in the proxy statement. Management says the program is intended to link pay to shareholder value through performance and equity-based compensation. It also seeks to attract, retain, and motivate executives with competitive compensation while sharing the risks and rewards of the business. The company emphasizes long-term shareholder returns and cost-effective use of compensation resources. Fiscal 2026 compensation included base salaries, discretionary performance bonuses, booking commissions for Alberto Salamone, time-based RSUs, and performance-based RSUs, with some performance awards cancelled after goals were not met. The vote is advisory and therefore does not bind the Company, Board, or Compensation Committee, but those bodies state that they will review and consider the outcome in future compensation decisions. The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR, relying on the program’s stated performance-alignment and retention objectives.

Other Business Properly Presented at the Annual Meeting
ManagementAuthorize the proxy holders to transact any other business that may properly come before the meeting or any postponement or adjournment, although the Company is unaware of additional matters.
More detail
The proxy includes a customary authorization for shareholders to transact any other business properly brought before the annual meeting. The Company states that it knows of no matters other than the three specifically described proposals. If another matter is properly presented, proxy holders Gayn Erickson and Chris P. Siu, or either of them or their substitutes, may vote the represented shares. Their authority extends to any continuation, postponement, or adjournment of the meeting. The filing indicates that they will exercise discretion on such matters in accordance with the Board’s recommendation. This provision is procedural rather than a substantive management initiative. It gives the proxy holders flexibility to address unforeseen but valid meeting business. No separate FOR or AGAINST recommendation is provided because no specific additional matter is known. The provision does not identify a shareholder proponent or a defined requested corporate action.
