ASX/Media Announcement (ASX: DGI)
25[th] March, 2010
Appointment to the Board of Digislide Americas
Digislide Holdings Limited and Digislide Americas Corp (“Digislide”, “DGI” or the “Company”) are pleased to announce the appointment to the Companies’ Boards of retired Australian Senator, Grant Chapman. He has taken up Directorship on the Digislide Holdings Limited Board and has also been appointed Chairman of the Board of Digislide Americas Corp.
Grant Chapman is taking up his appointment to the Board of Digislide Americas in the same week as the company makes its initial presentation to Silicon Valley investors (see note re Presentation to US Investors following).
Grant Chapman has brought to successful conclusion a number of projects during a distinguished business and parliamentary career.
With a background in marketing management and business consulting, from 1987 he was elected on four successive occasions as a Senator for South Australia in the Australian Senate, before retiring in June 2008. From 1975 to 1983 he was the Federal Member for Kingston in the Australian House of Representatives
Throughout his time in Federal Parliament, Grant Chapman was involved in numerous committees. Most notably, during the life of the Howard Government, he chaired the Joint Statutory Parliamentary Committee on Corporations and Financial Services from 1996 to 2007, working closely with the then Federal Treasurer, Hon. Peter Costello, in reforming Australia’s corporations law and the regulation of financial services. For the same period, he also chaired the Federal Government Industry, Resources and Small Business Committee and from 1995 to 1997, two Senate Select Committees on the resources/energy sector. He was recognised as one of the Parliament’s experts on financial and taxation issues, together with industry and resources policy. In this context, he had high level engagement with new technology/start-up companies and the Government’s support for research and development.
In 2001, Grant Chapman was appointed by the United Nations to its “Panel of Eminent Persons to Combat Desertification,” reinforcing his strong interest in green technologies and enhancing the outstanding links he has developed with international business and political leaders as the leader of a number of key Australian overseas delegations and as the Australian Government representative on the Inter-Parliamentary Union (world body of parliaments) Council from 2002 to 2005. In 2003, the President of Chile bestowed on him the highest honour awarded foreigners, the Grand Cross, Orden Bernardo O’Higgins, for his contribution to international relations. This

international experience has given Grant Chapman strong links with business and political leaders in Chile, Argentina, China, Thailand, Taiwan, USA, UK and the European Community.
A keen sportsman, former SACA Grade cricketer and Amateur League Australian Rules footballer, Grant Chapman was a founder of the Australian Council for Inter-Parliamentary Sport and a participant in international parliamentary cricket, rugby, tennis and golf competitions. Since 2009, he has been a participant in the Australian Sports Advocacy Group and periodic consultant to Sports Hydrant, an innovative, interactive sports information and marketing website.
Since early 2009, he has been founding Chairman of MyATM Pty Ltd, which has engaged successfully new investors in automatic teller machine/multi-function kiosk ownership and operation, while also undertaking key business consulting assignments, continuing to manage a family investment portfolio comprising farming and grazing properties, equities and residential real estate and serving voluntarily on several not-for profit boards.
Recently, he was appointed founding Chairman of Greenlink Energy Ltd, a cleantech incubator company with current interests in solar energy manufacturing and marketing and which is undertaking an IPO to expand its cleantech portfolio.
He holds an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree from Adelaide University, where he also undertook post-graduate business management studies.
Ms Luceille Outhred, Digislide’s CEO, said “[former] Senator Chapman has been a strong supporter of Digislide and other early stage technology companies in South Australia. He will add considerable strength to the Boards of both Companies. The relationships he has formed in international sports will be beneficial as we commercialise the Digismart Swap™ products. Likewise, his focus on clean energy technologies is right in line with our recent $1.2M SAIIF grant, which has been provided to expand our “Opto-electronic and Clean Energy Research and Development facility” in South Australia.

Our parent company has done the hard yards. They ’ ve carried the investment into Research and Development, Product Design and Early Stage Commercialisation. They are now moving towards profitability.
Digislide Americas can now capitalise on the earlier development investment – with 3 new products now entering our markets, and 3 new exciting products coming out this year, Digislide Americas has a suite of products it can offer to distributors and retail channels.
Digislide has more innovative products up its sleeve, which we will also have access to.
– 3M and Optomo are two key competitors but they, like others are simply producing generic projectors, Digislide is not only addressing major verticals such as gamers, but has also designed niche products for key target markets such as Wii, XBox and Playstation devotees.
Digislide Americas has a suite of products on offer, targeted at specific needs of each user.
Microvision, ExPlay and Light Blue Optics have and are, spending significantly more in bringing their technologies to market, and have massive deficits to fill before investors can expect a return.
Digislide Americas has no such deficits
What Advantages does Digislide have?
-
Granted patents
-
All major technical issues solved
-
No moving parts and no micro mirrors – thus more than robust, we are ruggedized
-
Fewer components and less labour - resulting in lower manufacturing costs
-
Licensing patents and technologies … not just selling products
We seek to align ourselves with the key influencers in North American markets, and to capture a significant share of all markets through The Americas ’ Region

Digislide Holdings Limited, the parent company, is an Australian Securities Exchange listed company. Australia has the most stable economy in the world, as the most recent Global Financial Crisis has shown … Australia can outride any economic storm.
With a well regulated, but free economy, a politically and geologically stable landscape, and being positioned close to the massive markets of Asia with a burgeoning middle class, Australia is a safe place.
Digislide Holdings has issued approx 47M shares.
The top 20 shareholders own 40% of these.
Approximately 40% of the shareholders are considered to be “ founders ” or “ related parties ” and as such are unable to sell any of their stock until 24 months after listing.
So this is a very stable shareholder base.
Revenue Forecast
Conservative Estimates (US only) 2010: $5M 2011: $15M 2012: $25M 2013: $35M Reach profitability: Qtr 3 /Yr 2010
==> picture [127 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Our Conservative estimates of Sales Revenues from products in US markets only reflect that we reach profitability by third quarter this year, with $5M in sales
Again, using a very conservative approach, and basing revenues on PRODUCTS only in US we anticipate Sales Revenues of $15M in 2011, $25M in 2010 and $35M in 2013.
Add to that the potential for embedding Digislide ’ s optical engines in existing products and the markets of Canada, Central and South America, and a continuous stream of growing revenues will flow into the company over the next decade.
