Q1 FY2019 Activities Update
Successful funding positions the Company to accelerate to the next stage of productisation; first memory chips packaged
Key highlights for Q1
-
Successfully completed $3 million Placement to facilitate next stage of technology development and announced $1m Share Purchase Plan
-
Packaged first memory chips
-
Discussions continuing with potential strategic partners / collaborations
19 Oct, 2018 – Weebit Nano Ltd (ASX: WBT) is pleased to provide an update for the quarter ending 30 September 2018, along with its Appendix 4C cash flow results.
Capital raise successfully completed and Share Purchase Plan announcement
In late September, Weebit Nano announced it had successfully raised $3 million via a strongly supported share placement to existing investors as well as several new high quality institutional and sophisticated investors. Weebit also announced plans to conduct a non-underwritten Share Purchase Plan to raise a further $1 million during October.
The proceeds received will be used to progress Weebit Nano’s silicon oxide (SiOx) ReRam technology to the next stage of productisation, including scaling down to 28nm, further progressing talks with potential partners, and initiating work with production fabs.
First memory chips packaged
During the quarter, Weebit Nano produced the first packaged units containing memory arrays based on its Silicon Oxide ReRam technology. These have been packaged into devices known as chips, allowing the company to ship its memory technology to partners who can begin testing and evaluating the chips, and collaborating with Weebit Nano to achieve robust technology parameters.
The first memory chips will be delivered to universities to research the use of ReRam technology in neuromorphic computing, which is used in the development of Artificial Intelligence, with additional chips planned to be shipped to future potential partners.
This is an important step in Weebit Nano’s productisation and commercialization effort as it enables further testing and refining of the company’s memory technology.

Looking ahead
Following the successful capital raise, Weebit Nano is now well-funded to progress to the next stage of productisation, and move closer to the transfer of its technology to a production fab. Weebit Nano is also preparing for the move to 28nm which is expected to begin before the end of this calendar year.
In addition, the Company is still working to sign its first co-operation agreement and is continuing discussions with key industry players, with the aim of achieving this by the end of the calendar year.
