Super Micro Computer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this underwriting agreement (this “Agreement”), to issue and sell to the several underwriters listed in Schedule A hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you are acting as representatives (the “Representatives”), an aggregate of 75,000,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/20th interest in a share of its 7.00% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, with an initial liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (“Preferred Stock”) (such depositary shares, the “Firm Shares”) and, at the option of the Underwriters, up to 11,250,000 additional depositary shares, each representing a 1/20th interest in a share of Preferred Stock, solely to cover over-allotments, if any (such additional depositary shares, the “Option Shares”). In this Agreement, the Firm Shares and the Option Shares that the Underwriters elect to purchase pursuant to Section 2 hereof are collectively referred to as the “Shares.”

The Preferred Stock will be convertible into a variable number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) (such shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock is convertible, together with any shares of Common Stock delivered in payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock, the “Underlying Shares”). The terms of the Preferred Stock will be set forth in a certificate of designations (the “Certificate of Designations”) to be filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

The Shares will be issued pursuant to a deposit agreement (the “Deposit Agreement”), to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below), among the Company, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. and Computershare Inc., acting as joint depositary (the “Depositary”), and holders from time to time of the Shares. Each Share will initially represent the right to receive a 1/20th interest in a share of the Preferred Stock pursuant to the Deposit Agreement. The Preferred Stock, when issued, will be deposited against delivery of depositary receipts (the “Depositary Receipts”), which will evidence the Shares and will be issued by the Depositary under the Deposit Agreement.


Substantially concurrently with the offering of the Shares contemplated hereby, the Company will, among other things, issue and sell up to 45,454,545 shares of its Common Stock pursuant to a separate underwriting agreement and separate prospectus supplement, subject to customary closing conditions (the “Concurrent Offering”). The Company also plans to enter into an equity distribution agreement with respect to “at-the-market” offerings of up to $1,250,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “ATM Program”). The offering of the Shares is not contingent upon the completion of the Concurrent Offering or entry into the ATM Program, neither the Concurrent Offering nor the entry into the ATM Program is contingent upon the completion of the offering of the Shares, and the sales in the Concurrent Offering and under the ATM Program will be made pursuant to separate prospectus supplements to the Registration Statement (as defined in this Agreement) and not pursuant to any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus.

The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the several Underwriters concerning the purchase and sale of the Shares, as follows:

1. Registration Statement. A registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-296641), including a prospectus, covering the Shares has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”). Such registration statement, including the prospectus included therein (the “Base Prospectus”), and all documents filed as part thereof or incorporated by reference therein including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C under the Securities Act to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness, and at each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the Securities Act, are hereinafter collectively called the “Registration Statement.” The Base Prospectus, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated June 10, 2026 specifically relating to the Shares in the form first filed under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet the requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act), and all documents filed as part thereof or incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, are hereinafter collectively called the “Prospectus,” and the preliminary form of the Prospectus is hereinafter called the “Preliminary Prospectus.” If the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”), then any reference herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include such Rule 462 Registration Statement. For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act and “Pricing Disclosure Package” means the Preliminary Prospectus dated June 10, 2026, together with each free writing prospectus, if any, identified in Schedule B hereto. “Applicable Time” means 7:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date of this Agreement. Any reference to “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after such date under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.

2. Purchase of the Shares. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell the Firm Shares to the several Underwriters, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective number of Firm Shares set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule A hereto at a price per share of $49.125 (the “Purchase Price”). In addition, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell the Option Shares to the several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement, and the Underwriters shall have the option to purchase, severally and not jointly, from the Company the Option Shares at the Purchase Price less an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared by the Company and payable on the Firm Shares but not payable


on the Option Shares. If any Option Shares are to be purchased, the number of Option Shares to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be the number of Option Shares which bears the same ratio to the aggregate number of Option Shares being purchased as the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule A hereto (or such number increased as set forth in Section 11 hereof) bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares being purchased from the Company by the several Underwriters, subject, however, to such adjustments to eliminate any fractional Shares as you, in your sole discretion, shall make. The Underwriters may exercise the option to purchase Option Shares at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, solely to cover over-allotments, if any, on or before the thirtieth day following the date of the Prospectus, by written notice from the Representatives to the Company. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Option Shares as to which the option is being exercised and the date and time when the Option Shares are to be delivered and paid for, which may be the same date and time as the Closing Date (as defined below) but shall not be earlier than the Closing Date nor later than the tenth full business day after the date of such notice (unless such time and date are postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 hereof). Any such notice shall be given at least two business days prior to the date and time of delivery specified therein, except to the extent that the date on which the Option Shares are to be delivered is the same date and time as the Closing Date, in which case such notice may be delivered one business day prior to the date and time of delivery specified therein.

3. Offering by the Underwriters. The Company understands that the Underwriters intend to make a public offering of the Shares as soon after the effectiveness of this Agreement as in the judgment of the Underwriters is advisable, and initially to offer the Shares on the terms set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters may offer and sell Shares to or through any affiliate of a Underwriter and that any such affiliate may offer and sell Shares purchased by it to or through any Underwriter.

  (i)

For a period of 60 days after the date of the Prospectus, the Company will not (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or submit to, or file with, the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, or publicly disclose the intention to undertake any of the foregoing, or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock or any such other securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, other than the Shares to be sold hereunder, the Preferred Stock in respect thereof and any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of, or issued and paid as a dividend on, the Preferred Stock.

  (j)

The Company will prepare a final term sheet relating to the offering of the Shares, containing only information that describes the final terms of the offering of the Shares in a form consented to by the Underwriters, and to file such final term sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) under the Securities Act following the date the final terms have been established for the offering of the Shares.

 

  (k)

The Company will advise the Underwriters promptly, and confirm such advice in writing, (i) when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective prior to the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be; (ii) when any supplement to the Prospectus or any amendment to the Prospectus or any free writing prospectus has been filed prior to the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be; (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or the receipt of any comments from the Commission relating to the Registration Statement or any other request by the Commission for any additional information relating to the offering of the Shares prior to the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be; (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act; (v) of the occurrence of any event during the period that a prospectus is required to be delivered as a result of which the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or any free writing prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or any such free writing prospectus is delivered to an underwriter, not misleading; and (vi) of the receipt by the Company of any notice with respect to any suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offer and sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or suspending any such qualification of the Shares and, if any such order is issued, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

 

  (l)

The Company will qualify the Shares for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions as you may reasonably designate in consultation with the Company and maintain such qualifications in effect for a period of not less than a year from the date of the Prospectus; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. The Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each jurisdiction in which the Shares have been qualified as above provided. The Company will also supply you with such information as is necessary for the determination of the legality of the Shares for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as you may request.

 

  (m)

The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts in cooperation with you to permit the Shares offered and sold in transactions by you to be eligible for clearance and settlement through DTC.

 

  (n)

The Company will apply the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Shares in the manner specified in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds.”


  (o)

The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to list, subject to notice of issuance, the Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and to effect and maintain the listing of a number of Underlying Shares equal to the Maximum Number of Underlying Shares on Nasdaq.

 

  (p)

Prior to the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, the Company will deposit the relevant number of shares of Preferred Stock with the Depositary in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement and otherwise comply with this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement so that the relevant Shares will be issued by the Depositary against receipt of such shares of Preferred Stock and delivered to the Underwriters against payment therefor at such Closing Date or such Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, with any transfer or similar taxes payable in connection with the deposit and the issuance and delivery of Shares duly paid by the Company. The Company will reserve and keep available at all times for issuance, free of pre-emptive or similar rights, a number of Underlying Shares equal to the Maximum Number of Underlying Shares (for the avoidance of doubt, such Underlying Shares may be Common Stock previously issued and held by the Company as treasury stock). Between the date hereof and the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, the Company will not do or authorize any act or thing that would result in the adjustment of the “fixed conversion rates” (as defined in the Pricing Disclosure Package) of the Preferred Stock.

 

  (q)

The Company authorizes the Underwriters to make such public disclosure of information relating to stabilization of the Shares as is required by applicable law and regulation.

7. Covenants of the Underwriters.

 

  (a)

Each Underwriter severally covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.

 

  (b)

Each Underwriter that is not a U.S. registered broker-dealer, represents that if it sells Shares in the United States it will do so through one or more U.S. registered broker-dealers as permitted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority regulations.

 

  (c)

Each Underwriter hereby agrees that it will not offer, sell or deliver any of the Shares in any jurisdiction outside the United States except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable laws thereof, and that it will take at its own expense whatever action is required to permit its resale of the Shares in such jurisdictions. Each Underwriter understands that no action has been taken to permit a public offering in any jurisdiction outside the United States where action would be required for such purpose. Each Underwriter agrees not to cause any advertisement of the Shares to be published in any newspaper or periodical or posted in any public place and not to issue any circular relating to the Shares, except in any such case with the prior express written consent of the Company and the Representatives acting on behalf of the Underwriters.

8. Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the several Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Firm Shares on the Closing Date or the Option Shares on the Additional Closing Date will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company herein, to the accuracy of the statements of Company officers made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions precedent:

9. Indemnification.

 

  (a)

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or


  alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, any road show as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “road show”) or any Pricing Disclosure Package (including any Pricing Disclosure Package that has subsequently been amended), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in paragraph (c) below.

 

  (b)

[Reserved]

 

  (c)

Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to, any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, any road show or any Pricing Disclosure Package (including any Pricing Disclosure Package that has subsequently been amended), it being understood and agreed upon that the only such information furnished by the Underwriters consists of the following information in the Prospectus under the caption “Underwriting”: the concession and reallowance figures appearing in the sixth paragraph and the information contained in the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth paragraph relating to stabilization by the Underwriters.

 

  (d)

If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 9. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Person and it shall notify the Indemnifying Person of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Person similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Person (who shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person), and, after notice from the Indemnifying Person to such Indemnified Person of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect


  to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.

 

  (e)

If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) or (c) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Shares and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company , on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

  (f)

The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to paragraph (e) above were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (e) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (e) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (e) and (f), in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Shares exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to paragraphs (e) and (f) are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.


  (g)

The remedies provided for in this Section 9 paragraphs (a) through (f) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

10. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above.

11. Default of Underwriters. If, on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase the Shares that it has agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate principal amount of the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase is 10% or less of the aggregate number Shares to be purchased by all Underwriters on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriters may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Shares by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which such default or defaults occur is more than the above percentage and arrangements reasonably satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Shares by other persons are not made within seventy-two hours after such default, this Agreement or, with respect to any Additional Closing Date, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase Shares on the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 15. In the event that any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligation to purchase Shares hereunder, the Company may, by prompt written notice to the non-defaulting Underwriters, postpone the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, for a period of not more than seven full business days in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents, and the Company will promptly file any amendments to the Registration Statement or supplements to the Applicable Time Prospectus or the Prospectus which may thereby be made necessary. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for a Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

12. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated (or in the event of any Option Shares to be purchased on an Additional Closing Date, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase such Option Shares may be terminated) in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by any of the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement clearance services in the United States; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.


13. Payment of Expenses.

PRICING TERM SHEET

June 10, 2026

Super Micro Computer, Inc.

Concurrent Offerings of

45,454,545 Shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per Share (the “Common Stock”)

(the “Common Stock Offering”)

and

75,000,000 Depositary Shares (the “Depositary Shares”)

Each Representing a 1/20th Interest in a Share of

7.00% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock

(the “Depositary Shares Offering”)

The information in this pricing term sheet relates only to the Common Stock Offering and the Depositary Shares Offering and should be read together with (i) the preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 10, 2026 relating to the Common Stock Offering (the “Common Stock Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), including the documents incorporated by reference therein, (ii) the preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 10, 2026 relating to the Depositary Shares Offering (the “Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), including the documents incorporated by reference therein and (iii) the related base prospectus dated June 9, 2026, each filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Registration No. 333-296641. Neither the Common Stock Offering nor the Depositary Shares Offering is contingent on the successful completion of the other offering. Terms not defined in this pricing term sheet have the meanings given to such terms in the Common Stock Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, as applicable. All references to dollar amounts are references to U.S. dollars.


Issuer    Super Micro Computer, Inc.

Ticker / Exchange for Common Stock

   SMCI / The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”).
Pricing Date    June 10, 2026.
Trade Date    June 11, 2026 (“T”).

Expected Settlement Date for the Common Stock Offering

   June 12, 2026 (T+1).

Expected Settlement Date for the Depositary Shares Offering

   June 15, 2026 (T+2), which is the second business day following the trade date for the Depositary Shares (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+2”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Depositary Shares prior to the business day preceding the expected settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Depositary Shares initially will settle T+2, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Depositary Shares who wish to trade the Depositary Shares prior to the business day preceding the expected settlement date should consult their own advisors.
Use of Proceeds    The Issuer expects the net proceeds from (i) the Common Stock Offering to be approximately $1.22 billion (or approximately $1.40 billion if the underwriters of the Common Stock Offering exercise in full their option to purchase additional common stock) and (ii) the Depositary Shares Offering to be approximately $3.68 billion (or approximately $4.23 billion if the underwriters of the Depositary Shares Offering exercise in full their over-allotment option to purchase additional Depositary Shares), in each case, after deducting the applicable underwriting discounts and the Issuer’s estimated offering expenses totaling approximately $2.58 million. The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the Common Stock Offering and the Depositary Shares Offering to fund the purchase of components to satisfy the approximately $39 billion of orders that the Issuer has received in recent weeks for its advanced AI servers, including its Data Center Building Block Solutions, from more than 20 customers, that the Issuer plans to fulfill in


   future quarters. The Issuer may also use a portion of the net proceeds from Common Stock Offering and the Depositary Shares Offering for other general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of debt, additions to working capital and capital expenditures.. See “Use of Proceeds” in each of the Common Stock Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
   The closing of the Common Stock Offering and the closing of the Depositary Shares Offering are not contingent upon each other.

   Depositary Shares Offering

Depositary Shares Offered

   75,000,000 Depositary Shares, each of which represents a 1/20th interest in a share of the Issuer’s 7.00% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock”). At settlement of the Depositary Shares Offering, the Issuer will issue 3,750,000 shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

Over-allotment Option for Underwriters to Purchase Additional Depositary Shares

   11,250,000 additional Depositary Shares (corresponding to 562,500 additional shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock), solely to cover over-allotments.

Public Offering Price of the Depositary Shares

   $50.00 per Depositary Share.
Dividends    7.00% of the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock per annum. Dividends will accumulate from the Settlement Date for the Depositary Shares Offering, whether or not in any dividend period or periods there have been funds legally available for the payment of such dividends and, to the extent that the Issuer is legally permitted to pay dividends and its board of directors, or an authorized committee thereof, declares a dividend payable with respect to the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, the Issuer will pay such dividends in cash or, subject to certain limitations, by delivery of shares of Common Stock or through any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Issuer’s board of directors in its sole discretion, on each Dividend Payment Date; provided that any unpaid dividends will continue to accumulate.
   The expected dividend payable on the first Dividend Payment Date is approximately $14.78 per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (equivalent to approximately $0.74 per Depositary Share). Each subsequent dividend is expected to be $17.50 per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (equivalent to $0.875 per Depositary Share).


Dividend Record Dates    The February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 immediately preceding the relevant Dividend Payment Date.

Dividend Payment Dates

   March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on, and including, September 1, 2026 and ending on, and including, June 1, 2029.

Mandatory Conversion Date

   The second business day immediately following the last trading day of the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day immediately preceding June 1, 2029.

Initial Price

   Equal to $1,000, divided by the Maximum Conversion Rate, rounded to the nearest $0.0001, which initially is $27.4997.

Threshold Appreciation Price

   Equal to $1,000, divided by the Minimum Conversion Rate, rounded to the nearest $0.0001, which initially is $32.9989 and represents a premium of approximately 20.0% over the Initial Price.

Floor Price

   $9.625 (approximately 35.0% of the Initial Price), subject to adjustment as described in the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.

Conversion Rate per Share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock

   The conversion rate for each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will not be more than 36.3640 shares of Common Stock and not less than 30.3040 shares of Common Stock (respectively, the “Maximum Conversion Rate” and “Minimum Conversion Rate”), depending on the applicable market value (as defined in the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) of the Common Stock, as described below and subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. Correspondingly, the conversion rate per Depositary Share will be not more than 1.8182 shares of Common Stock and not less than 1.5152 shares of Common Stock.
   The following table illustrates the conversion rate per share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments described in the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, based on the applicable market value of the Common Stock:


    

Applicable market value of our

Common Stock

      

Conversion Rate per Share of

Mandatory Convertible Preferred

Stock

             
   Greater than the threshold appreciation price   ®    30.3040 shares of common stock
             
   Equal to or less than the threshold appreciation price but greater than or equal to the initial price   ®    Between 30.3040 and 36.3640 shares of common stock, determined by dividing $1,000 by the applicable market value
             
   Less than the initial price   ®    36.3640 shares of common stock

 

   The following table illustrates the conversion rate per Depositary Share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments described in the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, based on the applicable market value of the Common Stock:

 

    

Applicable market value of our

Common Stock

      

Conversion Rate per Depositary

Share

             
   Greater than the threshold appreciation price   ®    1.5152 shares of common stock
             
   Equal to or less than the threshold appreciation price but greater than or equal to the initial price   ®    Between 1.5152 and 1.8182 shares of common stock, determined by dividing $50 by the applicable market value
             
   Less than the initial price   ®    1.8182 shares of common stock

 

Optional Conversion    Other than during a fundamental change conversion period (as defined in the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), at any time prior to June 1, 2029, a holder of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock may elect to convert such holder’s shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at the Minimum Conversion Rate of 30.3040 shares of Common Stock per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (equivalent to 1.5152 shares of Common Stock per Depositary Share), subject to adjustment as described in the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement. Because each Depositary Share represents a 1/20th fractional interest in a share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, a holder of Depositary Shares may convert its Depositary Shares only in lots of 20 Depositary Shares.


Fundamental Change    If a fundamental change (as defined in the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) occurs on or prior to June 1, 2029, holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will have the right to convert their shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the fundamental change conversion rate (as defined in the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) during the period beginning on, and including, the effective date (as defined in the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) of such fundamental change and ending on, and including, the earlier of (a) the date that is 20 calendar days after such effective date (or, if later, the date that is 20 calendar days after holders receive notice of such fundamental change) and (b) June 1, 2029. For the avoidance of doubt, the period described in the immediately preceding sentence may not end on a date that is later than June 1, 2029.
   The following table sets forth the fundamental change conversion rate per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock based on the effective date of the fundamental change and the stock price (as defined in the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) in the fundamental change:

The exact stock price and effective date may not be set forth on the table, in which case:

 

   

if the stock price is between two stock prices on the table or the effective date is between two effective dates on the table, the fundamental change conversion rate per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the fundamental change conversion rates per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock set forth for the higher and lower stock prices and the earlier and later effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day or 366-day year, as applicable;

 

   

if the stock price is in excess of $70.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices in the column headings of the table above as described in the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), then the fundamental change conversion rate per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be the Minimum Conversion Rate; and

 

   

if the stock price is less than $11.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices in the column headings of the table above as described in the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), then the fundamental change conversion rate per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be the Maximum Conversion Rate.


The following table sets forth the fundamental change conversion rate per Depositary Share based on the effective date of the fundamental change and the stock price in the fundamental change:

The exact stock price and effective date may not be set forth on the table, in which case:

 

   

if the stock price is between two stock prices on the table or the effective date is between two effective dates on the table, the fundamental change conversion rate per Depositary Share will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the fundamental change conversion rates per Depositary Share set forth for the higher and lower stock prices and the earlier and later effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day or 366-day year, as applicable;

 

   

if the stock price is in excess of $70.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices in the column headings of the table above as described in the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), then the fundamental change conversion rate per Depositary Share will be the Minimum Conversion Rate, divided by 20; and

 

   

if the stock price is less than $11.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices in the column headings of the table above as described in the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), then the fundamental change conversion rate per Depositary Share will be the Maximum Conversion Rate, divided by 20.

Because each Depositary Share represents a 1/20th fractional interest in a share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, a holder of Depositary Shares may convert its Depositary Shares upon the occurrence of a fundamental change only in lots of 20 Depositary Shares.

 

Discount Rate for Purposes of Fundamental Change Dividend

  

Make-Whole Amount

   The discount rate for purposes of determining the fundamental change dividend make-whole amount (as defined in the Depositary Shares Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) is 8.90% per annum.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing precludes the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transactions or arrangements (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) designed or intended, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale or disposition or transfer (whether by the undersigned or any other person) of any economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of any Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described herein, are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Letter Agreement.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Letter Agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives of the undersigned.

The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees that, although the Representatives may be required or choose to provide certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures to you in connection with each Offering, the Representatives and the other Purchasers are not making a recommendation to you to enter into this Letter Agreement, participate in such Offering, or sell any securities at the price determined in such Offering, and nothing set forth in such disclosures is intended to suggest that the Representatives or any other Underwriter is making such a recommendation.

The undersigned understands that, if an Underwriting Agreement does not become effective by June 30, 2026, or if such Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of any securities to be sold thereunder, the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this Letter Agreement with respect to such Offering; provided, however that if either Underwriting Agreement has become effective by June 30, 2026 and any securities are sold and delivered pursuant to such Underwriting Agreement (any such Offering, a “Completed Offering”), then the undersigned shall continue to be bound by the terms of this Letter Agreement with respect to such Completed Offering. The undersigned understands that the Representatives on behalf of the respective Underwriters are entering into each Underwriting Agreement and proceeding with each Offering in reliance upon this Letter Agreement.


This Letter Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
