SEPTEMBER 2025 QUARTERLY ACTIVITY REPORT AND APPENDIX 4C

4DS Memory Limited (ASX:4DS) ( 4DS ) (the Company ), is pleased to provide its Quarterly Activity Report and Appendix 4C for the Quarter ended 30 September 2025.

Activities during the Quarter

On 18 August 2025, the Company announced that it had completed a comprehensive root cause analysis of the 20nm Sixth Platform Lot. The Company outlined that it has commenced a review of these findings to jointly assess the most effective strategic and technical development pathways for 2025 and beyond. Also, on the 18 August the renewal of a joint development agreement with Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (HGST), a subsidiary of Western Digital Corporation with 4DS.

On 5 September 2025, following an extensive review of the Sixth Platform Lot results in collaboration with imec and HGST, the Company announced its decision to disengage from collaborations with imec and Infineon Technologies LLC, pending completion of an ongoing strategic review. The Company notes that this decision was made to preserve resources and ensure that future development efforts align with the Company’s commercialisation objectives.

The Company also advised that Chief Technology Officer, Dr Ting Yen, and Chief Strategy Officer, Mr Peter Himes have tendered their resignations. Mr Himes has since departed the Company. Mr Yen has commenced a transition to exit the Company over the next three months from 5 September 2025 but has agreed to consult back to 4DS as we move forward with potential outcomes from the strategic review.

Business Development Activities and Annual General Meeting

As part of the strategic review, the Company has been actively involved in business development activities around Artificial Intelligence to identify opportunities to ensure that the Company is best placed to compete in a market that is rapidly evolving to ensure responsible stewardship of capital and to position the Company in areas where it can deliver sustainable value for its shareholders.

During the Quarter the Company announced the date of the Annual General Meeting (20 November 2025). As part of this process, the Company received nominations for four new directors ahead of the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

Three nominations for Director positions were submitted by FYNAA Pty Ltd and associated parties, representing a combined shareholding of approximately 5% of the Company’s issued capital as evidenced by a recently lodged substantial holding notice.

While 4DS welcomes genuine shareholder participation and values diverse perspectives, the Company has not received any additional information regarding the qualifications, experience, or strategic intentions of the nominated Directors.

The Board notes that a coordinated nomination of multiple director candidates may have the effect of influencing control of the Company. The Board does not imply any improper intent.

Over recent months, 4DS has been actively engaged in its strategic review process. However, the uncertainty created by these recent nomination activities and the potential disruption to Board stability

are having a tangible impact on the Company’s ability to progress its strategic review and its business development activities in Artificial Intelligence.

In light of the above considerations, the Board recommends that shareholders do not support the proposed external director nominations, in order to maintain governance stability and strategic continuity.

The Board considers it important that shareholders remain informed about any coordinated efforts that could alter the composition of the Board and potentially impact strategic continuity.

4DS has issued a formal Notice of Meeting and voting recommendations. To reiterate the Board strongly urges shareholders to vote AGAINST the new director nominations, and is in support of current Non-Executive Director, Mr Howard Digby’s re-election to the B oard.

In the meantime, the Board strongly encourages shareholders to exercise caution when considering any communications or solicitations from third parties relating to these nominations.

We ask shareholders to carefully consider the Company’s progress, governance record and strategic priorities before taking any action that could destabilise the current direction or compromise long-term value creation.

The Board and management remain fully committed to advancing 4DS’s potential opportunities, safeguarding shareholder resources, and acting in the best interests of all shareholders.

Shareholders who have not yet received a copy of the Notice of Meeting , Explanatory Memorandum , or Proxy Form are encouraged to contact the Company’s Investor Relations team or Company Secretary via the details provided below.

Financial Review

As of 30 September 2025, the Company held cash of $9.1 million, compared to $10.2 million at 30 June 2025. Net cash of $971k was used in operating activities during the September quarter, compared to $1.1 million used in the June quarter. No material changes or events have occurred subsequent to 30 September 2025 that would materially affect the Company’s financial position or disclosed activities, other than the ongoing strategic review.

Listing Rule 4.7.C

Payments to related parties of approximately A$129,000 comprise salary and superannuation to the Executive Chairman, and director and advisory fees paid to Non-Executive Directors (including the U.S.-based Non-Executive Director), in accordance with previously disclosed remuneration arrangements.
