2 The IoT Challenge Existing OEM s and start ups would benefit from a custom ASIC to prove their application and generate VC or lead customer interest VC s are typically unwilling to lend to develop silicon, they invest in the viable application OEM s are afraid to develop a SoC as this is not their core business, even if it may be significantly cheaper than off-the-shelf multiple chips they buy today 03/05/2016 Presentation Title Page 2

11 Multi Project Wafer Multi Project Wafer shares the cost of masks and wafers among a number of customers The cost can be further reduced when creating a very small batch for test chips (proof of principle for your lead customers) EUROPRACTICE IC Services mini@sic (multiple fabs involved) Sub dividing the MPW even further for academia or start up s Lowering the mask cost to sub 20K! 03/05/2016 Presentation Title Page 11
