Highlights from the Business and Technology Update

Outlined its plan to intersect with the 400G transceiver market by completing prototypes of 400G optical engines for its strategic networking customer;

Confirmed that the developments for 400G would enable the Company to leverage its cost advantage in the price-competitive 100G transceiver and the 5G wireless telecommunications markets;

Announced several technical achievements incorporated into its Optical Interposer platform, including a 50G-capable PIN detector and an industry-first, integrateable at wafer-scale, demux filter for 400G FR4 applications;

Described the supply chain and manufacturing efficiencies of its newly adopted “fab-light” strategy which will enable the Company to focus on design, development and sales of Optical Interposer solutions;

Outlined its product roadmap and business outlook, with completion of the platform building blocks for 400G optical engines by the end of 2019, demonstration of an integrated 400G transmit and receive optical engine assembled at wafer-scale during the first half of 2020, and moving into assembled product qualification in the second half of 2020;

Summarized the steps for achieving an industry-leading position in chip-scale integrated photonics, based on:

° Disruptive, IP protected Optical Interposer platform design and components;

° Intersection with large, high growth markets in datacom and telecom;
