Letter from Jones, NVIDIA's Newly Appointed Chair of the Board, to All NVIDIA Employees

Following Jensen Huang's departure, NVIDIA's new Board Chair Harvey Jones sent an email to employees on Thursday. Below is the full text of the letter: Dear NVIDIA Employees, I am writing to share an important leadership change. Jensen Huang has resigned from his roles as Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors. The Board has asked Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress to serve as Interim Chief Executive Officer while we initiate a search for a permanent successor, encompassing both internal and external candidates. I will serve as the company's first Board Chair. Colette has served as CFO for more than 13 years and has been one of the key architects of NVIDIA's growth and capital strategy. She has a deep understanding of our business and the markets in which we operate. The Board has full confidence that Colette will deliver on our commitments to shareholders, customers, partners, and every employee. Jensen Huang's contributions to NVIDIA are profound. NVIDIA is one of the most influential technology companies in the world. We pioneered accelerated computing, defined the modern GPU, and built the platform that powers artificial intelligence. The Board takes seriously its responsibility as steward of this great company. The company's strength stems from our employees, our leadership team, our technology, and our partner ecosystem. I am confident that under Colette's leadership, and with the full support of the Board, we will continue to drive business growth and lead the industry forward. Thank you for your focus, professionalism, and commitment to NVIDIA. Harvey Jones Chair of the NVIDIA Board of Directors
