Super Micro Computer announced on August 21 that its independent board-led internal investigation into an alleged scheme to divert Nvidia AI chip servers to China has concluded. The probe determined no current senior management members were aware of the diversion, and no evidence was found that the company directly sold export-controlled products to known restricted parties or destinations. The company terminated employees in sales, technical support, and business development for failing to follow policies and strengthened its export compliance mechanisms under the oversight of its General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer. Shares rose as much as 5.9% to $36.98 per share following the news. Co-founder Wally Liaw, who resigned from the board after being indicted, and two others pleaded not guilty in the ongoing U.S. Department of Justice case, with the trial set for March 2027. Parallel government actions, including Taiwanese detentions and a New York grand jury subpoena, continue.
