("Sondrel", the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries the "Group")

Delivery of prototypes for three ASIC projects

Sondrel (Holdings) plc (AIM: SND), the fabless semiconductor business providing turnkey services in the design and delivery of 'application specific integrated circuits' ("ASICs") and 'system on chips' ("SoCs") for leading global technology brands, is pleased to provide an update on three of its ASIC projects.

Separate from the Company's announcement on 31 August 2023, which notified delays in the anticipated chip development and production for next generation new engagements for three major ASIC customers, the Company is pleased to provide an update on three existing contracted ASIC projects in progress (the "Projects").

The Projects relate to an edge AI ASIC, a home network ASIC, and a controller ASIC for smartphone cameras and the Company previously announced the successful tapeouts of each of these ASIC design Projects in January 2023, March 2023 and May 2023 respectively.

Prototypes of the silicon for each of the Projects have now been delivered to the customers in line with the Group's roadmap to production and are now progressing through validation and qualification. The Projects all remain on schedule for the release to production.

Graham Curren, Chief Executive Officer of Sondrel, commented:

"The delivery of the prototypes for these Projects demonstrates our ongoing work with customers as each device moves towards production, and to generating recurring production revenues after the initial design revenue.

As previously announced, the combined customer production volume forecasts for these ASIC projects alone now totals US$170m and gives us confidence in our medium-term ambition to reach over GBP100m in revenue. We look forward to updating investors as we make continued progress in the months ahead."
