November2017

Placement Raises A$21.5 million

• BrainChip raises A$21.5 million in an oversubscribed share placement which was supported by a large number of institutions.

October2017

Shipment of First BrainChip Accelerator

• Significant milestone in neuromorphic computing as the first commercial implementation of a hardware-accelerated spiking neural network (SNN) system.

• Major European automobile manufacturer will evaluate BrainChip Accelerator for use in Advanced Driver Assisted (ADAS) and Autonomous Vehicle (AV) applications.

October 2017

Provision of AI Video Analytics for a Large-Scale Municipal Project in France

• Project has a potential value of more than US$1.2 million. • Deployment encompasses over four thousand cameras across several towns and cities in France. BrainChip’s technology will be used on selected

cameras to protect specific high-value areas, including hospitals, schools, and first-responder sites. • BrainChip Studio’s object search and facial recognition capabilities was initially be deployed in 11 pilot locations during Q4 2017 and Q1 2018, with

broader deployments to follow later in 2018. September 2017

Launch of BrainChipAccelerator

• BrainChip Accelerator increases the speed and accuracy of the object recognition function of BrainChip Studio software by up to six times• Very low-power and can be easily installed within existing video surveillance systems without upgrading power systems or thermal management. • Helps law enforcement and intelligence organisations rapidly identify objects in large amounts of archived or live streaming video.
