Dear Cutera Colleagues,

We are reaching out as members of the Special Committee of Cutera’s Board of Directors. We know there has been a lot of noise over the last few weeks and recognize the emotion this is causing many of our colleagues. We are focused on finding the right path forward as quickly as practicable so that we can all move beyond this matter.

Since Sheila Hopkins stepped into the Interim CEO role on April 12, she has kept us apprised of her observations and interactions. It is clear from her engagement that each and every one of you believes in this company and our mission. We are fortunate to have a world-class, talented team in all of you.

We remain very optimistic about our future and our ability to meet the shifting demands of our customers while positioning Cutera for continued success in a large and fast-growing market. With your continued support and commitment, we are confident that we are positioned to realize the many opportunities ahead.

Together, we share a passion for improving the lives of patients and serving our customers. Thank you for remaining focused, dedicated and committed to Cutera during this transitional time. We deeply appreciate all you do.

It is important that the Company speaks with one voice, consistent with our policy. Should you receive any inquiries from external parties on this matter, do not engage with them, and please refer them to Greg Barker at gbarker@cutera.com so they can be routed to the proper respondent or addressed directly.

Sincerely,

The Special Committee of Cutera’s Board of Directors

Janet D. Widmann
