Updated Supply Arrangements

Sondrel (AIM: SND), a leading provider of ultra-complex chips for leading global technology brands, announces further to its announcement of 27 February 2024 that it has now concluded negotiations with a supplier (the "Supplier") in respect of existing and future supply arrangements under an addendum to an existing supply contract ("Addendum").

Under the Addendum, contract minimum utilisation levels have been reduced to bring them in line with the Company's current license usage rates until 2025 and are expected to increase thereafter in line with usage over the life of the contract as Sondrel scales. Payments will be made quarterly according to utilisation and licence bundles drawn down. Historical license fee liabilities currently owed by the Company to the Supplier are to be paid in equal monthly instalments of US$0.2m up to April 2027 and total cash payments to the Supplier are expected to not exceed US$1.9 million in 2024.
