DECEMBER 2024 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 31 December 2024.

Technical Update for the December Quarter

4DS made significant progress with the development of the Fifth and Sixth Platform Lots during the December quarter. The Fifth Platform Lot with 60nm memory cells was shipped from imec to 4DS’s facilities in Fremont, USA on 10 October 2024 and analysis was undertaken.

The Fifth Platform Lot sought to optimise and repeat the unique characteristics of the results seen in the Fourth Platform Lot as announced on 23 August 2023, and optimise the construction process of memory cell arrays to derisk the manufacturing of the first 4DS 20nm memory cell array incorporated in the Sixth Platform Lot.

On the 15 January 2025 the Company informed shareholders that it had successfully completed characterization and testing of the Fifth Platform Lot with key areas of optimisation identified and shared with the imec engineering team working on the Sixth Platform Lot 20nm memory cell array.

The key process learnings from the Fifth Platform Lot that are necessary for scaling of the memory cell array from 60nm cells to 20nm cells (9 times smaller in area) and that are now in the process of being implemented to the Sixth Platform Lot are:

• Memory cell array patterning and etching: new process tuning modifications for the construction of 20nm cells.

• Memory stack adjustment: the advanced memory stacks which are necessary for the construction of 20nm cells have shown functionality and which de-risks the Sixth Platform Lot with similar memory cell stack constructions.

• • Memory array process integration: the best options of the post-patterning backend processes of the advanced memory cells were selected and implemented to the Sixth Platform Lot.

These new learnings and optimizations from the Fifth Platform Lot are critically important for the successful processing of 4DS’s first 20nm memory cell array in the Sixth Platform Lot, expected to be manufactured and analysed in 1H 2025. If the Company is successful in scaling from a 60nm memory cell to 20nm memory cell array, then the Sixth Platform Lot will position 4DS’ area-based Interface Switching ReRAM technology as a potential generational memory.

4DS continues its relationship with imec for manufacture of the Sixth Platform Lot and will maintain the relationship going forward, including all future activities associated with the new customised memory platform.

Infineon Design Agreement

On 17 December 2024 Infineon technologies LLC (“Infineon”) (a USA based subsidiary of Infineon Technologies AG) and 4DS entered into a Design Agreement whereby Infineon will assign resources to design a custom ReRAM memory test chip for 4DS, based on 4DS requirements.

The initial scope of work under the Design Agreement will be over 15 months for a total of US$4.5 million payable by 4DS with an upfront payment of US$1.5 million and the balance payable monthly at varying monthly amounts. Either party may terminate the Design Agreement under standard terms and conditions in any termination clause and upon termination only Infineon resources completed to the point of termination are payable by 4DS.

To further advance the Company technology, to the path of commercialisation, 4DS needs a customised memory Platform vehicle which is specifically designed for its unique area-based Interface Switching ReRAM characteristics. The megabit Platform used for other Platform Lots was designed to characterise a wide range of emerging memory technologies and has been useful to develop and characterise 4DS’s technology during 2023 and 2024, however 4DS has also uncovered some shortfalls of using this universal memory Platform vehicle and recognised that working on a customised memory Platform jointly designed by 4DS/Infineon is best path for successful outcomes going forward.

Investor Relations/Marketing

In the December quarter, Chief Strategic Officer Mr Peter Himes attended in person and presented at Semiconductor Australia 2024 in Sydney. The inaugural event brought together Australia’s deep-tech entrepreneurs, industry experts, innovation policy makers and investor community to explore opportunities and chart the roadmap to secure Australia’s semiconductor future.

Executive Chairman Mr David McAuliffe travelled to the USA in the second half of October 2024 for various internal strategy meetings some of which led to securing the Infineon Design Agreement.

Capital Raising - Post 31 December 2024

On 17 January 2025, 4DS announced it had received binding commitments from institutional and high net worth investors for a placement of $6 million ( Placement ). The Placement attracted strong interest in excess of the shares available to allocate, and will be followed by a share purchase plan ( SPP ) of $2 million.

The Placement comprises the issue of approximately 166.7 million ordinary shares in 4DS ( New Shares ), at an issue price of $0.036 per New Share, representing a discount of 12.2% to the closing price as at 14 January 2025 and 24.4% to the 15 day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”).

Each issued share under the Placement will have a 1:1 attaching unlisted option with an exercise price of $0.036 and an expiry of 28 February 2028.

The New Shares and Placement Options will be issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.

Bell Potter acted as sole lead manager for the Placement. In addition to a 6% capital raising fee, 4DS will issue Bell Potter 12 million advisor options on same terms as the Placement Options ( Broker Options ).

A SPP will be conducted and eligible shareholders on the Company’s share register as at 5pm AEST on 16 January 2025 ( Record Date ) with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand can apply.

Eligible shareholders can acquire up to $30,000 of New Shares and the offer will seek to raise $2 million at $0.036 per share, being the same price as the Placement.

Each issued share under the SPP will also have a 1:1 attaching unlisted option with an exercise price of $0.036, expiring on 28 February 2028.

The Company will use funds raised for working capital requirements under the design and services agreement with Infineon, ongoing investment in development with imec, general working capital and offer costs.

Financial Review

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders was held on 28 November 2024. The resolutions were voted in accordance with the Notice of Annual General Meeting previously advised to the ASX. Resolutions 1-8 were carried on a poll, with Resolution 7 (Approval of 7.1A Mandate) and Resolution 8 (Replacement of Constitution) being carried by a sufficient majority as special resolutions.

As of 31 December 2024, the Company held cash of $4.625 million, compared to $6.312 million at 30 September 2024. Net cash of $1.647 million was used in operating activities during the December quarter, which included a contractual payment to imec, compared to $1.538 million used in the September quarter.
