Explanation of Responses:

1. On October 18, 2019, the reporting person was granted Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") with performance-based vesting requirements. One third of the target number of RSUs subject to the award are eligible to vest in each of the three years beginning in fiscal 2020 based on certain earnings per share targets, revenue targets and relative total stockholder return conditions. This transaction reflects the vesting and payment of 15,913 RSUs subject to the award on August 31, 2020 with respect to the performance conditions that were satisfied for fiscal 2020.

2. In accordance with the terms of the applicable RSU award agreement, 5,503 shares of Lantronix, Inc. common stock were withheld at vesting to cover required tax withholding.

This transaction reflects the vesting and payment of 2,812 RSUs subject to the award on September 1, 2020.

4. In accordance with the terms of the applicable RSU award agreement, 973 shares of Lantronix, Inc. common stock were withheld at vesting to cover required tax withholding.
