JUNE 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 June 2025.
Sixth Platform Lot Initial Analysis
On 28 April 2025, the Company announced that imec had successfully completed the manufacturing and processing of the Sixth Platform Lot. This Lot was received at the 4DS facilities in Fremont on 6 May 2025 and electrical testing started the next day.
On 16 June 2025, the Company detailed the results of the Sixth Platform Lot outlining that while electrical testing and characterization of the Sixth Platform Lot is still incomplete and remains ongoing, the initial analysis of the wafers within the entire Lot indicates that the necessary process modifications and optimizations introduced into the Sixth Platform Lot have not yielded the expected electrical testing and characterization results the Company was expecting.
The Company is in the process of completing a root cause analysis using the recently received analytics, which includes physical analytics and chemical analysis to identify the reasons for the unexpected initial analysis in the 20nm Sixth Platform Lot to date.
If this imminent root cause analysis identifies the reasons for the initial unexpected results, announced on 16 June 2025, the Company will meet with its partners at the earliest opportunity to discuss the strategic options going forward.
Placement and Share Purchase Plan
The Company advised results of the General Meeting of Shareholders held 17 April 2025 for the ratification of prior issued shares and options. The resolutions were voted in accordance with the Notice of General Meeting previously advised to the Australian Securities Exchange. Resolutions 1 to 5 were carried via a poll.
Business Development
Executive Chairman Mr David McAuliffe travelled to the Company facilities in June 2025 to review the results of the Sixth Platform Lot analysis.
Mr McAuliffe and 4DS’ technical team have subsequently met with imec representatives to discuss the initial findings of the Sixth Platform Lot, in addition to having a meeting with members of Infineon Technologies LLC.
The Company is in the process of confirming a date for a meeting with HGST to discuss the renewal of the Joint Development Agreement for 2025 / 2026.
Pitt Street Research Semiconductor Conference 2025
On the 7 May 2025 the Company presented at the Pitt Street Research Semiconductor Conference 2025. Attendees included Mr David McAuliffe, and Mr Peter Himes (via video link) who presented the latest on our technology and development to investors and industry peers.
