ASX RELEASE

2 April 2019

IMEC COLLABORATION UPDATE

4DS Memory Limited (ASX:4DS) ( 4DS or the Company ) is pleased to provide an update on its collaboration with imec, its development partner.

As announced by the Company on 20 February 2019, 4DS and imec successfully undertook analysis of 23 testable 300mm wafers, including wafer “D17”. Wafer D17 demonstrated the best characteristics with respect to endurance and retention – two core characteristics for Storage Class Memory on which the testing and analysis was focussed.

4DS Memory is pleased to advise that imec has today commenced the processing of the next lot of 300mm wafers, being variations of wafer D17. The speed with which 4DS and imec have been able to determine the process conditions for this next lot of wafers, and commence their manufacture, is due to the invaluable data obtained from previous iterations.

The results from the analysis of this next lot of wafers will be available in Q2 2019, as previously reported.

ENDS
