 Data I/O Announces Closing of $9 Million Investment
   
 Redmond, WA, June 17, 2026 – Data I/O Corporation (NASDAQ: DAIO) (the “Company”), the leading global provider of data provisioning solutions for flash memory, microcontrollers and security ICs, today announced the closing of its previously announced definitive securities purchase agreement with two institutional investors for aggregate gross proceeds of $9 million, before placement agent fees and offering expenses. The financing includes the issuance of common stock and warrants, and a convertible debenture.
  
 Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, the Company issued 869,840 shares of common stock, convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.8 million and warrants to purchase up to 1,080,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $9 million. The warrants have an exercise price of $3.00 per share and will be exercisable for five (5) years following the date of issuance.
  
 The unsecured convertible debentures will be issued in the principal amount of approximately $6.8 million. The convertible debentures will bear interest, payable in cash or in Series B preferred stock at the discretion of the Company, at a rate of 4.0% per annum and will mature on the fifth anniversary of its date of issuance, unless repaid or converted earlier. The principal amount of the convertible debentures will be convertible into Series B preferred stock of the Company. The Series B preferred stock is non-voting and is convertible into the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.50 per share. The convertible debentures will automatically convert into the Company’s Series B preferred stock upon receipt of approval by the Company’s stockholders at an upcoming shareholders meeting (“Stockholder Approval”) pursuant to Nasdaq rules. Certain restrictions on exercise of the warrants will cease following receipt of Stockholder Approval.
  
 Data I/O intends to use the net proceeds from the investments for additional working capital, general corporate purposes and future potential strategic acquisitions to accelerate the growth and technological innovation of The New Data I/O.
  
 Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. is serving as exclusive placement agent for the investments. Benchmark, a StoneX company, is serving as financial advisor to the Company.
