Exhibit 99.5

All Xcerra Employees,

I’m excited to announce today that we have signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by an affiliate of Sino IC Capital, one of the largest private equity funds in China, for $10.25 per share in cash. I’m writing you to provide details on what this means for you and the future of the Company.

An affiliate of Sino IC Capital has offered to purchase all outstanding shares of Xcerra and our Board of Directors has accepted their offer. This means that, pending regulatory approval and satisfaction of other conditions to closing, Xcerra will become a private company and its shares will no longer trade on the Nasdaq stock exchange. We anticipate closing by the end of the calendar year.

After considerable due diligence, including a review of strategic alternatives, Xcerra’s Board of Directors agreed to sell the Company to an affiliate of Sino IC Capital because, among other things, the transaction will provide significant benefits to our shareholders, employees, and customers. We will become a stand-alone subsidiary of Sino IC Capital and will continue to be a global company, headquartered in Norwood, Massachusetts and governed by U.S. Law. With greater financial backing, Xcerra can focus on innovation and bringing additional products and solutions to its customers worldwide. Ultimately, we will be a stronger company and will be in a better position to serve the long term needs of our customers.

I appreciate that most of you are curious as to what this means for you. You will be happy to know that in the short term, this ownership change will have no impact on the day-to-day operations of the company. It will be business as usual as we go through this process. It is the same company just a different ownership. Our management team will remain the same and all company operations will continue as planned. There will be no change to our desired culture of Excellence in Communication and Execution. In the longer term, we believe this transaction will have a positive impact on our global business, providing significant growth opportunities for our employees in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

With this exciting announcement, you may receive media inquiries regarding the transaction. It is important that you direct any media inquiries to Rich Yerganian, Vice President of Corporate Communications.

I will be hosting several employee meetings throughout the day and will welcome any questions you may have about the company. Nicole Egan will be sending an email invitation to these meetings shortly. You only need to attend one of them. In addition, we have created an employee frequently asked question (FAQ) page in the Xcerra Library. Here is a link to that page:

Again, it is business as usual both before the deal closes and just as importantly, after the deal closes. This next phase in the history of Xcerra will lead to faster growth resulting in more opportunities for employees and improved overall financial performance in the long term.

I want to thank all of the employees of Xcerra. Without your hard work and Customer First attitude, we would not have been able to reach such a beneficial agreement for the owners of our stock while at the same time setting the company up for accelerated growth moving forward.
