Banca del Gottardo has represented to us that it has purchased our common stock

it possesses neither investment nor voting power with respect to these

International, L.P., Harpel Partners, L.P., Harpel Select Growth, L.P., Montrose
Investments Ltd. and Strong River Investments after this offering have been
registered for offer and sale by these selling shareholders in a Registration
Statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 333-83521.

        Except as set forth below, none of the selling shareholders has held any
positions or office or had any other material relationship with us or any of our
affiliates within the past three years:



        -      On February 2, 2000, Castle Creek Technology Partners LLC filed a
               Schedule 13 G/A, indicating that it had beneficial ownership of
               1,552,744 shares, or 6.2%, of our outstanding common stock. ON
               MARCH 20, 2000, CASTLE CREEK TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS LLC FILED AN

               OR MORE OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK.



        In recognition of the fact that the selling shareholders may wish to be
legally permitted to sell their shares when they deem appropriate, we have
agreed with the selling shareholders to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"), under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), a
registration statement on Form S-3, of which this prospectus forms a part, with
respect to the resale of the shares, and have agreed to prepare and file such
amendments and supplements to the registration statement as may be necessary to
keep the registration statement effective until the shares are no longer
required to be registered for sale by the selling shareholders.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION



        CRAY is registering the shares covered by this prospectus for the
selling shareholders. As used in this prospectus, "selling shareholders"
includes the pledgees, donees, transferees or others who may later hold the
selling shareholders' interest. CRAY will pay the costs and fees of registering
the shares, but the selling shareholders will pay any brokerage commissions,
discounts or other expenses relating to the sale of the shares. CRAY and the
selling shareholders each have agreed to indemnify the other against certain
liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, that relate
to statements or omissions in the registration statement of which this
prospectus forms a part.



        The selling shareholders may sell the shares in the over-the-counter
market or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices
related to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. In addition, the
selling shareholders may sell some or all of their shares through:

        -       a block trade in which a broker-dealer may resell a portion of
                the block, as principal, in order to facilitate the transaction;

        -       purchases by a broker-dealer, as principal, and resale by the
                broker-dealer for its account;



        -       TRANSACTIONS DIRECTLY WITH A MARKET MAKER;

        -       IN PRIVATELY REGISTERED TRANSACTIONS NOT INVOLVING A BROKER; OR



        -       ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a
                broker solicits purchases.

        When selling the shares, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging
transactions. For example, the selling shareholders may:

        -       enter into transactions involving short sales of the shares by
                broker-dealers;

        -       sell shares short themselves and redeliver such shares to close
                out their short positions;


                                       -8-

<PAGE>   11



        -      enter into option or other types of transactions that require the
               selling shareholder to deliver shares to a broker-dealer, who
               will then resell or transfer the shares under this prospectus; or

        -      loan or pledge the shares to a broker-dealer, who may sell the
               loaned shares or, in the event of default, sell the pledged
               shares.



        WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT AN AFFILIATE OF CASTLE CREEK TECHNOLOGY
PARTNERS LLC HAS A SHORT POSITION IN OUR COMMON STOCK. CASTLE CREEK TECHNOLOGY
PARTNERS LLC HAS CONFIRMED TO US THAT NONE OF THE SHARES COVERED BY THE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT OF WHICH THIS PROSPECTUS FORMS A PART WILL BE USED TO
COVER ANY PORTION OF THIS SHORT POSITION.

        REGULATION M UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 PROVIDES THAT
DURING THE PERIOD THAT ANY PERSON IS ENGAGED IN THE DISTRIBUTION, AS SO DEFINED
IN REGULATION M, OF OUR COMMON STOCK, SUCH PERSON GENERALLY MAY NOT PURCHASE
SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK. THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS ARE SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE
PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
REGULATION M, WHICH PROVISIONS MAY LIMIT THE TIMING OF PURCHASES AND SALES OF
SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK BY THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS. THE FOREGOING MAY AFFECT
THE MARKETABILITY OF OUR COMMON STOCK.



        The selling shareholders may negotiate and pay broker-dealers
commissions, discounts or concessions for their services. Broker-dealers engaged
by the selling shareholders may allow other broker-dealers to participate in
resales. However, the selling shareholders and any broker-dealers involved in
the sale or resale of the shares may qualify as "underwriters" within the
meaning of the Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. In addition, the
broker-dealers' commissions, discounts or concessions may qualify as
underwriters' compensation under the Securities Act. If the selling shareholders
qualify as "underwriters," they will be subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of Section 5(b)(2) of the Securities Act.



        EACH SELLING SHAREHOLDER THAT IS IDENTIFIED ON THE SELLING SHAREHOLDER
TABLE BEGINNING ON PAGE 4 AS A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR AS AN AFFILIATE OF A
REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER (I) PURCHASED THE SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK INCLUDED
IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OF WHICH THIS PROSPECTUS FORMS A PART IN THE
ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS AND (II) AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, HAD NO AGREEMENTS
OR UNDERSTANDINGS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, WITH ANY PERSON TO DISTRIBUTE THE
SECURITIES.



        In addition to selling their shares under this prospectus, the selling
shareholders may:


                                       -9-

<PAGE>   12



        -      agree to indemnify any broker-dealer or agent against certain
               liabilities related to the selling of the shares, including
               liabilities arising under the Securities Act;

        -      transfer their shares in other ways not involving market makers
               or established trading markets, including directly by gift,
               distribution, or other transfer; or

        -      sell their shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act rather
               than under this prospectus, if the transaction meets the
               requirements of Rule 144.

        Upon notification by a selling shareholder that any material arrangement
has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of the shares through a
block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution
or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this
prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act,
disclosing the material terms of the transaction. In addition, we will file a
supplement to this prospectus if a selling shareholder notifies us that a donee
or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares.

        The balance sheets of CRAY, INC., FORMERLY KNOWN AS Tera Computer
Company, as of December 31, 1998 AND 1999 and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1999, incorporated by reference into this
prospectus, have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors, as
stated in their report with respect thereto, which report includes an
explanatory paragraph concerning our ability to continue as a going-concern, and
has been incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon the report of such
firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.



                   LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION



        Our Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that, to the fullest
extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act, our directors will
not be liable for monetary damages to CRAY or its shareholders, excluding,
however, liability for acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct or
knowing violations of law, illegal distributions or transactions from which the
director receives benefits to which the director is not legally entitled. Our
Restated Bylaws provide that CRAY will indemnify its directors and, by action of
the Board of Directors, may indemnify its officers, employees and other agents
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, except for any legal
proceeding that is initiated by such directors, officers, employees or agents
without authorization of the Board of Directors.

<PAGE>   13





        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of CRAY
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that,
in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 15.    Indemnification of Officers and Directors.


        Article XII of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation and
Section 11 of the Company's Restated Bylaws require indemnification of
directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company to the fullest extent
permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act (the "Act"). Sections
23B.08.500 through 23B.08.600 of the Act authorize a court to award, or a
corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnification to directors and
officers on terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain
circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

        Section 23B.08.320 of the Act authorizes a corporation to limit a
director's liability to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages
for acts or omissions as a director, except in certain circumstances involving
intentional misconduct, self-dealing or illegal corporate loans or
distributions, or any transaction from which the director personally receives


                                      II-1

<PAGE>   16
a benefit in money, property or services to which the director is not legally
entitled. Article XI of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation
contains provisions implementing, to the fullest extent permitted by Washington
law, such limitations on a director's liability to the Company and its
shareholders.

Item 17.    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 of 1933;

                      (ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
                             arising after the effective date of this
                             Registration Statement (or the most recent
                             post-effective amendment thereof) that,
                             individually or in the aggregate, represent a
                             fundamental change in the information set forth in
                             this Registration Statement; and

                      (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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
                      (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be
                      included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
                      is contained in periodic 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 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; and

                                      II-3
<PAGE>   18

               (3)    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
                      amendment any of the securities being registered that
                      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 of 1933,
                each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
                Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
                1934 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.
