Full text of Jensen Huang's email to employees and NVIDIA board statement

On November 8, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang sent a letter to all employees apologizing for disloyal conduct and expressing support for the independent investigation launched by the board of directors over national security concerns raised by recent reports. In the letter, he said his actions hurt his family, that there is no excuse, asked the public to give his family privacy, and promised to continue devoting himself fully to NVIDIA. The board's statement said that in light of recent reports that Huang became a target of a foreign intelligence operation, the investigation will be overseen by a committee of independent directors with the assistance of outside independent counsel; the board said it has no reason to believe that national security or NVIDIA confidential information has been compromised, but will review all available information. The statement also said the board has confidence in Huang and his leadership team and will provide further updates in due course.
