Appendix 4C and Company Update

4DS Memory Limited (ASX:4DS) ( 4DS or the Company ) is pleased to provide its Quarterly Report for the quarter ended 31 March 2019, along with a Company update.

imec Collaboration

During the quarter, the Company made a number of significant announcements in relation to the progress the Company has been making with its development partner, imec.

In late January 2019, 4DS announced that imec had fabricated functional 300mm wafers on the same multi-million dollar state-of-the-art production equipment used by high volume manufacturers of memory. The wafers were subsequently relocated to 4DS’s facilities in Silicon Valley where they underwent extensive analysis.

On 20 February 2019, 4DS announced that imec had produced 23 testable 300mm wafers, with minor changes in process conditions for each wafer so as to identify the impact of such changes on the desired memory characteristics for Storage Class Memory. 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.

• Endurance analysis has shown that the Company can cycle its Interface Switching ReRAM memory cells into the millions of cycles, a first for the Company; and

• Retention analysis has shown the best retention results the Company has been able to produce outside of its own facilities.

This was a significant achievement for the Company as it was the first time the Company had been able to replicate and improve certain characteristics on the same multi-million dollar state-of-the-art production equipment used by high volume/high density manufacturers of memory.

On 2 April 2019, 4DS announced that imec had 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.

Processing of this next lot of wafers remains on track and results from their analysis will be available in Q2 2019, as previously reported.

In addition, members of 4DS’ management and technical team are planning to be in Belgium during the week beginning 27 May 2019 for meetings with imec.
