DECEMBER 2025 QUARTERLY ACTIVITY REPORT AND APPENDIX 4C
4DS Memory Limited (ASX:4DS) ("4DS" or "the Company") is pleased to provide its Quarterly Activities Report and Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 31 December 2025. This report consolidates and summarises market announcements released during October, November and December 2025 and is intended to be read alongside those releases.
Corporate Activities and Strategic Review
During the quarter, the Company continued its formal strategic review, which was initiated in September 2025. The review remains focused on stabilising the business, preserving capital and assessing a range of potential value-accretive pathways.
The Board and its advisers have continued to evaluate opportunities both within and adjacent to the Company’s existing technology base, including opportunities aligned with the AI-enablement ecosystem , where demand for faster, denser and more energy-efficient computing architectures continues to accelerate. The review has encompassed potential internal development pathways as well as selective external opportunities that may enhance the Company’s long-term strategic positioning as an AI-enabler.
As announced on 10 December 2025, the strategic review remains active. The Company has engaged in preliminary and confidential discussions with parties operating in fields aligned with 4DS’s technology profile. These discussions are exploratory in nature, and no agreements, proposals or commitments have been entered into at this stage. The Board emphasises that any potential outcomes remain subject to further assessment, regulatory considerations and, where required, shareholder approval.
Cost Management and Governance Actions
As part of the strategic review and the Board’s ongoing focus on prudent capital management, the Company announced a material reduction in Board and executive remuneration effective 1 November 2025. These measures included:
-
Reduction of all Non-Executive Director fees to $0.
-
A 50% reduction in consulting fees payable to Dr Guido Arnout; and
-
A 50% reduction in the Executive Chairman’s base salary.
These actions were implemented to conserve cash while the strategic review progresses and to demonstrate alignment between the Board, management and shareholders.
Annual General Meeting
The Company held its Annual General Meeting on 20 November 2025. All shareholder-nominated director resolutions were not carried, and the re-election of existing Non-Executive Director Mr Howard Digby was approved. The outcome of the meeting provides continuity and governance stability while the strategic review and associated commercial evaluations continue.

No material changes or events have occurred subsequent to 31 December 2025 that would materially affect the Company’s financial position or disclosed activities.
Listing Rule 4.7.C
Payments to related parties of approximately A$69,000 comprise salary and superannuation to the Executive Chairman, Non-Executive Director fees and advisory fees in accordance with previously disclosed remuneration arrangements effective from 1 November 2025.
Continuous Disclosure
The Company continues to be in full compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rule 3.1. The Board will update the market promptly upon conclusion of the strategic review or the emergence of any material outcomes.
