Explanation of Responses:

Id	Content
F1	Adjusted to reflect a ten-for-one forward split of the Issuer's common stock effective after market close on September 30, 2024.
F2	These transactions reflect Mr. Liang's exercise of a stock option granted in 2015 which expires soon. No shares were sold into (or otherwise entered) the public market, and Mr. Liang did not receive any cash proceeds from this transaction. Instead, the Company withheld shares to pay the exercise price and minimum withholding taxes required by law. All withheld shares were retained by the Company. Of the 1,667,500 shares subject to the option, Mr. Liang retained 739,470 shares after a total of 928,030 shares were withheld.
F3	This option was previously reported as covering 10x fewer shares at a 10x greater exercise price, but was equitably adjusted in connection with the ten-for-one forward split.
F4	This stock option is fully vested and exercisable.
F5	Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of SMCI common stock.
F6	Subject to the Reporting Person's spouse's continued service to the Issuer, the restricted stock units vest 100% on October 30, 2025. Vested units are settled in shares of SMCI common stock.
