文件已经出了,30天后生效
NVIDIA也不是抗议,只是向美国证券交易委员会阐述出口新规的影响。
以下是NVIDIA向美国证券交易委员会提交的文件全文(机翻,不保证准确)
项目 8.01 其他事件
2023 年 10 月 17 日,美国政府 (USG) 宣布提交临时最终规则“实施额外出口管制:某些先进计算项目;超级计算机和半导体最终用途;更新和更正”(“临时最终规则”),并在《联邦公报》上公布。
暂行最终规则修订了 ECCN 3A090 和 4A090,并对出口到中国以及 D1、D4 和 D5 国家组(包括但不限于沙特阿拉伯、阿拉伯联合酋长国和越南,但不包括以色列)的出口施加了额外的许可要求。公司的集成电路超过某些性能阈值(包括但不限于 A100、A800、H100、H800、L40、L40S 和 RTX 4090)。任何包含一个或多个所涵盖集成电路(包括但不限于 NVIDIA DGX 和 HGX 系统)的系统也受到新许可要求的涵盖。许可要求包括未来 NVIDIA 集成电路、主板或分类为 ECCN 3A090 或 4A090 的系统(达到一定的总处理性能和/或性能密度的产品)。
许可要求适用于向总部位于 D5 国家组(包括中国)的一方或其最终母公司出口分类为 ECCN 3A090 或 4A090 的产品。
许可要求可能会影响公司及时完成产品开发、支持涵盖产品的现有客户或向受影响地区以外的涵盖产品的客户提供服务的能力,并可能要求公司将某些业务从一个或多个已确定的国家。
如果客户需要新许可要求涵盖的产品,公司可能会为客户寻求许可,但不保证 USG 会授予任何例外或许可,也不保证 USG 会及时根据请求采取行动方式。
公司 2024 财年第三季度于 2023 年 10 月 29 日结束。临时最终规则在发布后 30 天后生效。鉴于全球对我们产品的需求强劲,我们预计额外的限制不会对我们的财务业绩产生短期有意义的影响。
表 8-K 当前报告中的某些陈述,包括有关新许可要求对公司及时完成产品开发或支持涵盖产品的现有客户或向外部客户提供涵盖产品的能力的可能影响的陈述受影响的地区;由于新的许可要求,公司可能将某些业务转移出一个或多个已确定的国家;公司打算寻求向客户销售符合新许可要求的产品的许可;新许可要求对公司财务业绩的近期影响属于前瞻性陈述,存在可能导致结果与预期存在重大差异的风险和不确定性。可能导致实际结果出现重大差异的重要因素包括: 全球经济状况;我们依赖第三方来制造、组装、包装和测试我们的产品;技术发展和竞争的影响;开发新产品和技术或增强我们现有的产品和技术;我们的产品或我们合作伙伴的产品的市场接受度;设计、制造或软件缺陷;消费者偏好或需求的变化;行业标准和接口的变化;当我们的产品或技术集成到系统中时,其性能会出现意外损失;以及 NVIDIA 向美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 提交的最新报告中不时详细说明的其他因素,包括但不限于 10-K 表中的年度报告和 10-Q 表中的季度报告。向 SEC 提交的报告副本发布在该公司的网站上,并且可以从 NVIDIA 免费获取。这些前瞻性陈述并非对未来业绩的保证,仅代表截至本协议发布之日的情况,并且除非法律要求,NVIDIA 不承担任何更新这些前瞻性陈述以反映未来事件或情况的义务。

Item 8.01 Other Events
On October 17, 2023, the U.S. Government, or USG, announced that it submitted the Interim Final Rule, “Implementation of Additional Export Controls: Certain Advanced Computing Items; Supercomputer and Semiconductor End Use; Updates and Corrections” (the “Interim Final Rule”) for publication in the Federal Register.
The Interim Final Rule amends ECCN 3A090 and 4A090 and imposes additional licensing requirements for exports to China and Country Groups D1, D4, and D5 (including but not limited to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam, but excluding Israel) of the Company’s integrated circuits exceeding certain performance thresholds (including but not limited to the A100, A800, H100, H800, L40, L40S, and RTX 4090). Any system that incorporates one or more of the covered integrated circuits (including but not limited to NVIDIA DGX and HGX systems) is also covered by the new licensing requirement. The licensing requirement includes future NVIDIA integrated circuits, boards, or systems classified with ECCN 3A090 or 4A090, achieving certain total processing performance and/or performance density.
The licensing requirement applies to the export of products classified ECCN 3A090 or 4A090 to a party headquartered in, or with an ultimate parent headquartered in, Country Group D5, including China.
The licensing requirement may impact the Company's ability to complete development of products in a timely manner, support existing customers of covered products, or supply customers of covered products outside the impacted regions, and may require the Company to transition certain operations out of one or more of the identified countries.
To the extent that a customer requires products covered by the new licensing requirements, the Company may seek a license for the customer but has no assurance that the USG will grant any exceptions or licenses, or that the USG will act on the request in a timely manner.
The Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2024 ends on October 29, 2023. The Interim Final Rule is effective thirty days after its publication. Given the strength of demand for our products worldwide, we do not anticipate that the additional restrictions will have a near-term meaningful impact on our financial results.
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K including statements regarding the possible impact of the new licensing requirements on the Company’s ability to complete development of products in a timely manner or support existing customers of covered products, or supply customers of covered products outside the impacted regions; the possibility of the Company transitioning certain operations out of one or more of the identified countries as a result of the new licensing requirements; the Company’s intent to seek licenses for sales to customers of products subject to the new licensing requirements; and the near-term impact of the new licensing requirements on the Company’s financial results are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause results to be materially different than expectations. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: global economic conditions; our reliance on third parties to manufacture, assemble, package and test our products; the impact of technological development and competition; development of new products and technologies or enhancements to our existing product and technologies; market acceptance of our products or our partners’ products; design, manufacturing or software defects; changes in consumer preferences or demands; changes in industry standards and interfaces; unexpected loss of performance of our products or technologies when integrated into systems; as well as other factors detailed from time to time in the most recent reports NVIDIA files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including, but not limited to, its annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Copies of reports filed with the SEC are posted on the company’s website and are available from NVIDIA without charge. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and speak only as of the date hereof, and, except as required by law, NVIDIA disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances.
