Explanatory Note
This
Addition to, and Amendment No. 1 to, Schedule 14A (this
“Amendment”) is being filed to provide a press release
and Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Material on the
internet as well as amend and replace the sample proxy card
included in the Definitive Proxy Statement filed by Data I/O
Corporation (the “Company”) with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on April 4, 2018 (the “Proxy
Statement”). After filing the Proxy Statement, the Company
discovered that, due to COVID-19 related actions, a third-party
supplier had an inability to mail proxy materials to registered
shareholders. As a result, we needed to change our sample proxy
card to revise the online access link.
Please
note that no changes have been made to the body of the Proxy
Statement. We have filed a press release, provided the notice of
internet availability, and provided a revised version of the proxy
card. This Amendment applies to the version of the sample proxy
card originally filed with the Proxy Statement.

Data I/O Corporation Announces Update to Delivery Method for Annual
Meeting Proxy Materials Due to COVID-19 Pandemic
Redmond, WA, Tuesday – April 14, 2020 -- Data I/O
Corporation (NASDAQ: DAIO), the leading global provider of advanced
data and security deployment solutions for flash, flash-memory
based intelligent devices and microcontrollers announced an update
to the delivery method for proxy materials to registered
shareholders relating to the Company’s upcoming 2020 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”).
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the third-party service provider
retained to handle distribution of copies of the Company’s
Annual Meeting proxy materials to registered shareholders is unable
to mail copies of the proxy materials to those shareholders. As a
result, the Company has sent a Notice of Internet Availability to
its registered shareholders entitled to participate in the Annual
Meeting in order to provide those shareholders with notice
sufficiently in advance of the meeting to allow registered
shareholders time to review the proxy materials and exercise their
voting rights. This change will not impact the delivery of
materials to beneficial shareholders who hold their shares in
street name with their broker. The Company’s proxy materials
are available at www.envisionreports.com/daio.
As
announced in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the SEC
on April 4, 2020, the Company is scheduled to hold its Annual
Meeting on Monday, May 18, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time at Data
I/O’s principal offices at 6645 185th Ave NE, Suite 100,
Redmond, Washington 98052. Shareholders of record on March 19, 2020
are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting.
The
Company is not holding a virtual or hybrid Annual Meeting. However,
due to ongoing concerns related to the spread of COVID-19, and in
order to mitigate potential risks to the health and safety of our
shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders, the Company
encourages shareholders to vote on the matters before the meeting
by proxy, and if shareholders wish to listen to the annual meeting
matters and voting results by way of a conference call, the Company
encourages shareholders to use the conference call rather than
attend the meeting in person. There is no other business
presentation planned for the meeting. The conference call
information will be available on the Company’s website at
https://www.dataio.com/Company/Investor-Relations/Annual-Meeting
or contact the corporate Secretary.
