Dear Shareholder,

Time is running short and the Annual Shareholder Meeting is rapidly approaching. You recently received proxy materials relating to the proposals to be voted on at Annual Meeting of Shareholders for Firsthand Technology Value Fund (“the Company”), which will be held at the Hilton San Jose Hotel, 300 Almaden Blvd., San Jose, California, 95110, on Tuesday, May 23, 2017, at 2:00 p.m. (Pacific Time).

Please help us avoid phone calls, costs, and additional mailings by promptly voting your shares.

For the reasons set forth in the proxy materials previously mailed to you, the Board of Directors of the Company believes that Proposals 1 and 2 are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of each of those proposals.
