additional shares of the Registrant&rsquo;s common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share (the &ldquo;Common Stock&rdquo;), reserved
for issuance under the Registrant&rsquo;s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the &ldquo;2021 EIP&rdquo;), as a result of the annual
increase under the 2021 EIP; and (ii) 63,099 additional shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Registrant&rsquo;s
2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the &ldquo;2022 ESPP&rdquo;), as a result of the annual increase under the 2022 ESPP.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.45in">On December 27, 2023, the Registrant effected a 1-for-30
reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the &ldquo;Reverse Stock Split&rdquo;), such that thirty (30)
shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock were combined into one (1) share of Common Stock. The par value of the Common Stock did
not change and no fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. The total number of shares reserved under
the 2021 EIP and 2022 ESPP were automatically adjusted by the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split. All applicable share amounts referenced
in this Registration Statement reflect the Reverse Stock Split.</P>

of the Registrant (the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;) may determine (the &ldquo;2021 EIP Evergreen Provision&rdquo;). Pursuant to the 2021 EIP Evergreen
Provision, the Board, through its Compensation Committee, has determined that the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance
under the 2021 EIP shall be increased by 189,299 shares for fiscal year 2024, effective January 1, 2024. The additional shares available

Corporation Law (&ldquo;DGCL&rdquo;) provides that a corporation&rsquo;s certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating
or limiting the personal liability of a director or an officer to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director or an officer, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or
an officer (i) for any breach of the director&rsquo;s or officer&rsquo;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174
of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit, and provided further
that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of an officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation. The
Registrant&rsquo;s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended by the Certificate of Amendment filed with the
State of Delaware on May 9, 2023 (the &ldquo;Amended Charter&rdquo;), provides that no director or officer of the Registrant shall be
personally liable to it or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or an officer, notwithstanding
any provision of law imposing such liability, except to the extent that the DGCL prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability
of directors or officers, as applicable, for breaches of fiduciary duty.</P>

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8,
AEye, Inc. (the "Registrant") is filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8 (this "Registration
Statement") with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") to register (i) 189,299
additional shares of the Registrant's common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), reserved
for issuance under the Registrant's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2021 EIP"), as a result of the annual
increase under the 2021 EIP; and (ii) 63,099 additional shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Registrant's
2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2022 ESPP"), as a result of the annual increase under the 2022 ESPP.
On December 27, 2023, the Registrant effected a 1-for-30
reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"), such that thirty (30)
shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock were combined into one (1) share of Common Stock. The par value of the Common Stock did
not change and no fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. The total number of shares reserved under
the 2021 EIP and 2022 ESPP were automatically adjusted by the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split. All applicable share amounts referenced
in this Registration Statement reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
The number of shares of Common Stock available
for issuance under the 2021 EIP is subject to an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year during the period specified therein
equal to (other than the first annual increase) the lesser of (i) three percent (3%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
as of the conclusion of the Registrant's immediately preceding fiscal year or (ii) such amount, if any, as the board of directors
of the Registrant (the "Board") may determine (the "2021 EIP Evergreen Provision"). Pursuant to the 2021 EIP Evergreen
Provision, the Board, through its Compensation Committee, has determined that the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance
under the 2021 EIP shall be increased by 189,299 shares for fiscal year 2024, effective January 1, 2024. The additional shares available
for issuance under the 2021 EIP are of the same class as other securities relating to the 2021 EIP for which the Registrant has filed
registration statements with the Commission on Form S-8 (Registration Nos. 333-272570, 333-270731, 333-265064 and 333-260601) filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on June 9, 2023, March 22, 2023, May 19, 2022 and October 29, 2021.
The number of shares of Common Stock available for
issuance under the 2022 ESPP is subject to an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year during the period specified therein
equal to the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding calculated on a fully-diluted
basis on the immediately preceding December 31 or (ii) such lesser number of shares as the administrator of the 2022 ESPP shall approve
(the "2022 ESPP Evergreen Provision"). Pursuant to the 2022 ESPP Evergreen Provision, the Compensation Committee of the Board,
as the 2022 ESPP administrator, has approved an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2022
ESPP by 63,099 shares for fiscal year 2024, effective January 1, 2024. The additional shares available for issuance under the 2022 ESPP
are of the same class as other securities relating to the 2022 ESPP for which the Registrant has filed registration statements with the
Commission on Form S-8 (Registration Nos. 333-270731 and 333-265064) on March 22, 2023 and May 19, 2022.
The contents of the Registrant's Registration
Statements on Form S-8 (File Nos. 333-272570, 333-270731, 333-265064 and 333-260601) filed with the Commission on June 9, 2023, March
22, 2023, May 19, 2022 and October 29, 2021 relating to the 2021 EIP and the 2022 ESPP are incorporated by reference into this Registration
Statement, except to the extent supplemented, amended or superseded by the information set forth herein.

Registrant's annual report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Annual Report"), filed with

(b)       All

All documents subsequently filed by the
Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement which indicates that all of the shares of Common Stock offered have been sold or which deregisters all of such
shares then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from
the date of the filing of such documents, except as to any portion of any future annual or quarterly report to stockholders or document
that is not deemed filed under such provisions.
For purposes of this Registration Statement,
any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed,
except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law ("DGCL") provides that a corporation's certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating
or limiting the personal liability of a director or an officer to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director or an officer, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or
an officer (i) for any breach of the director's or officer's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174
of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit, and provided further
that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of an officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation. The
Registrant's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended by the Certificate of Amendment filed with the
State of Delaware on May 9, 2023 (the "Amended Charter"), provides that no director or officer of the Registrant shall be
personally liable to it or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or an officer, notwithstanding
any provision of law imposing such liability, except to the extent that the DGCL prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability
of directors or officers, as applicable, for breaches of fiduciary duty.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that
a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or a person serving at the request
of the corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in related capacities against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection
with an action, suit or proceeding to which he was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, ending or completed
action, suit or proceeding by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall
be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless
and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but
in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the
Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
The Amended Charter and the Amended and Restated
Bylaws of the Registrant provide that the Registrant will indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the Registrant), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or
officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the Registrant's request as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to
an employee benefit plan (all such persons being referred to as an "Indemnitee"), whether the basis of such proceeding is
alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director,
officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees,
judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection
with such proceeding. Expenses must be advanced to an Indemnitee under certain circumstances.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification
agreements with each of its directors and officers. These indemnification agreements may require the Registrant, among other things, to
indemnify its directors and officers for some expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred
by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of his or her service as one of the Registrant's directors or officers,
or any of its subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the Registrant's request.
The Registrant maintains a general liability
insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of the Registrant's corporation arising out of claims
based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
1.
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)       To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)       To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) of this section
do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in reports filed with
or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.
2.       That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
3.       To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
(b)       The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of
an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c)       Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the
Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on
Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in
the City of Dublin, State of California on the 18th day of June, 2024.
