Aehr Test Systems believes ‘no impact’ to operations due to closure of SVB

Aehr Test Systems (AEHR) provided comments on the news today of the closure by regulators of Silicon Valley Bank, or "SVB," with Gayn Erickson, President and CEO of Aehr Test Systems, commenting: "There’s been a lot of questions related to the closure of SVB today and the exposure of Aehr Test Systems. Aehr Test does have a checking account at SVB with a current balance of under $2.5 million, which is less than 6% of our total of $41.8M in cash and short-term liquid assets. Aehr has over $39.3 million in another financial institution which includes over $9.7 million in cash and $29.6 million in short term US Government backed Treasury Bonds. Aehr has no outstanding balance on its line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank and foresees no need to draw on the line in the near future. Aehr believes that there is no impact to our operations, customers, vendors, or employees. We are taking all appropriate steps to prevent any impact on our operations."
