As of September 30, 2008, the Company had 33.4 million shares of common stock outstanding. Repurchases will be made under the programme using the company's own cash resources. The plan does not obligate the company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Merrill Lynch will act as agents for the company's stock repurchase programme.

"This plan underscores our steadfast belief in the fundamental health and strength of Supermicro", stated Charles Liang, chief executive officer, Super Micro Computer Inc. "We are confident that the current economic conditions present opportunities as much as challenges." We believe that our flexible server building blocks solutions, our focus on internal R&D and our emphasis on highly energy efficient and cost-effective products position us to respond to increasing demands of customers in a difficult economy. We have operated our business at a profit from inception and believe that we have the flexibility in our operating and manufacturing structure to rapidly adjust and adapt as required in light of how economic conditions develop.
