New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of Swiss stocks, typically moving 8.0% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (8.0% average weekly change). Minor Risk Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (€46m net loss in 3 years). New Risk • Apr 13

ams-OSRAM AG Unveils Ultra-Efficient Microled Array for Ai Optical Interconnects and Advances to Product Development ams-OSRAM AG advanced its proven EVIYOS microLED technology to next-gen slow-and-wide AI optical interconnects, demonstrating ultra-low-power at high speed and moving toward product development. The new microLED array prototype leverages a proprietary epitaxy stack and delivers: Cut-off frequency >1 GHz, Energy consumption below 2 pJ/bit, Massively parallel, short-reach optical IO paths. These characteristics directly address the interconnect bottleneck emerging in modern AI compute architectures, where data movement increasingly dominates system power budgets. ams OSRAM microLED leadership is rooted in EVIYOS TM, the world’s first high-volume automotive micro-emitter array. Delivering 25,600 individually addressable pixels, each approximately half the width of a human hair, combined with a CMOS driver chip in a compact package. This unique microLED - CMOS integration – a textbook example of Digital Photonics – was recognized with the German Future Prize as “Digital Light” established the company’s industrial-scale capabilities and has since demonstrated exceptional robustness in series production vehicles. The same core technology now forms the basis for optical IO components targeting AI servers and rack-level communication. For optical interconnects, the fabrication process is similar to that used for automotive matrix emitters, with one key difference: while EVIYOS TM uses monolithic arrays, data-center applications use singulated microLEDs. These emitters are diced from the wafer and mounted on a substrate, so each device couples to its own fiber-optic channel in a multi-channel fiber optics cable. The substrate can then be assembled onto a target CMOS wafer for system integration. Due to their extremely small footprint, microLED based transceivers can achieve very high bandwidth density. Individual emitters support per lane data rates of =3.0 Gbit/s at energy levels below 2 pJ/bit over a full 10 meter link, while meeting industry bit-error-rate specifications below 10?¹5. Replacing a single ultra-high-speed line with hundreds of parallel channels in a slow-and-wide architecture offers multiple advantages for AI infrastructure: Reliability – microLED based optical interconnect systems can include redundant channels, enabling graceful degradation and rapid replacement of faulty emitters. Efficiency – in a slow-and-wide architecture, power consumption is significantly reduced versus ultra-high-frequency laser transmitters typically used in internet backbone applications. Lower power also reduces heat, providing valuable thermal headroom for data-center operators. Simplicity – microLED-based interconnects are inherently parallel. They eliminate the complex and costly serialization/deserialization steps required by fast-and-narrow architectures. With the successful adaptation of its EVIYOS TM base technology to the needs of data-communication markets, ams OSRAM is now transitioning rapidly into the product-development phase — fully aligned with the Digital Photonics strategy announced on 05 February 2026.

Ams OSram Announces New High-Resolution dToF Sensor Seeks the difference The TMF8829 direct Time-of-Flight (dToF) sensor significantly increases resolution -- from the previously common 8x8 zones to 48x32 -- and it is designed to detect subtle spatial differences and distinguish closely spaced or slightly varied objects. The new sensor from ams OSRAM can tell whether an espresso cup or a travel mug is placed under a coffee machine, ensuring the right amount is distributed every time. This kind of precision is critical for a broad spectrum of applications: from logistics robots that distinguish between nearly identical packages, to camera systems that maintain focus on moving objects in dynamic video scenes. With dToF technology, the sensor emits light pulses in the invisible infrared range. These pulses reflect from objects in the sensor's field of view and return to the sensor, which calculates the distance based on the time it takes for the light to travel -- similar to how the delay of an echo reveals distance: the longer it takes, the farther away the object. Multi-zone sensors enhance this by capturing reflected light from multiple viewing angles (zones), like a network of echo points. This enables the creation of detailed 3D depth maps. The TMF8829 divides its field of view into up to 1,536 zones -- a significant improvement over the 64 zones in standard 8x8 sensors. This higher resolution enables finer spatial detail. For example, it supports peoplecount and presence detection in smart lighting systems, object detection and collision avoidance in robotic applications, and intelligent occupancy monitoring in building automation. The detailed depth data also provides a foundation for machine learning models that interpret complex environments and enable intelligent interaction with surroundings. Measuring just 5.7 x 2.9 x 1.5 mm-- thinner than a cent coin and more compact than typical sensors with lower resolution -- the TMF8829 delivers high resolution in a format ideal for space-constrained devices. Because it operates without a camera, it supports privacy-sensitive applications. When paired with a camera, the sensor enables hybrid vision systems like RGB Depth Fusion, combining depth and color data for AR applications such as virtual object placement. Classified as a Class 1 eye-safe device, the TMF8829 uses a dual VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) light source to measure distances up to 11 meters with 0.25 mm precision -- sensitive enough to detect subtle movements like a finger swipe. With its 48x32 zones, the sensor covers an 80deg field of view, delivering depth information across a scene comparable to that of a wide-angle lens. On-chip processing reduces latency and simplifies integration. Instead of relying on a single signal, the sensor builds a profile of returning light pulses to identify the most accurate distance point -- ensuring stable performance even with smudged cover glass. Full histogram output supports AI systems in extracting hidden patterns or additional information from the raw signal. The consistent commitment of ams OSRAM to innovation ensures that the company remains at the forefront of technological advancements. This is highlighted by the company's strong IP portfolio comprising more than 1000 patent rights and other IP rights in the field of VCSEL and 3D sensing technologies. Reported Earnings • Aug 02

Imprinted Data Matrix Code on ams OSRAM LEDs Now Enables Automotive Manufacturers to Streamline Their Production ams OSRAM has introduced a product innovation that helps manufacturers of automotive lighting modules and systems to increase their production throughput and efficiency while achieving very high consistency in optical quality and performance. The innovation, referred to as DMC (Data Matrix Code), is based on a unique, machine-readable code printed on top of each LED package. DMC is already available for some members of the OSIRE® family of automotive LEDs. The code on the package links to individual data for each LED production unit: color coordinates, luminous intensity and forward voltage at two currents. This two-current setting gives manufacturers the widest range of dimming options for day and night modes, while meeting the automotive industry’s strict requirements for color point stability. LED+: Greater accuracy through unique data adds precious value to LEDs: With the introduction of DMC, ams OSRAM increases the value of its automotive LEDs as conclusive data effectively support digitalized and automated factory processes. DMC is now available in three automotive LEDs: The OSIRE® E5515 is an RGB ‘sidelooker’ LED designed for modern ambient lighting in the vehicle interior. Supplied in a white low-profile, surface-mount package, the OSIRE® E5515 is ideally suited for coupling into thin light guides. In addition, the housing material´s temperature stability has been optimized for improved compatibility with processes based on IMSE® (In-Mold Structural Electronics). The OSIRE® E5515 is available under the part number KRTB AELPS2.32. The OSIRE® E3323 is an RGB top surface-emitting LED for ambient lighting applications in the vehicle interior. With dimensions as small as 3.3 mm x 2.3 mm x 0.7 mm, the OSIRE® E3323 is the smallest of its kind in the OSIRE® family – for even more flexible designs than is currently possible with a delta or inline RGB chip configuration. The OSIRE® E3323 products can be ordered under the part numbers KRTB DWLM31.32 and KRTB DWLM32.32. The DMC will be imprinted on every manufactured LED and manufacturers are free to choose whether to use the data or not. This value-adding feature is likely to be rolled out to other OSIRE® family members in the future. Major Estimate Revision • Mar 06

ams OSram Launches Sidelooker, Low-Power LED ams OSRAM launched a series of sidelooker, low-power LEDs that simplify design, are easier to implement and enables the creation of a homogeneous appearance in extended light bars and other automotive rear lighting applications. an automobile rear combination lamp (RCL) requires a complex and deep optical assembly consisting of diffusers and light guides to spread the bright points of light from conventional toplooker LEDs without producing visible dark and bright spots. By replacing toplooker LEDs with the SYNIOS®? P1515 sidelookers, automotive manufacturers can achieve a smooth, homogeneous appearance across the width of the vehicle. With the same number of LEDs as in a toplooker-based arrangement, an RCL or turn indicator can be produced with a far thinner and simpler optical assembly. This opens up new potential to create dramatic and distinctive shapes in new RCL designs. Alternatively, a homogeneous appearance can be achieved with the same depth of optical stack as for toplooker LEDs, but with substantially fewer LEDs and LED drivers. With this option, the lamp manufacturer benefits from a reduced bill-of-materials cost and a simpler circuit configuration. The AEC-Q102 qualified SYNIOS®? P 1515 LEDs produce a side-emission output with uniform 360deg light intensity all round the device. Light is also emitted from the top of the LED, but at lower intensity than from the sides, to ensure that applications such as extended rear light bars can be easily realized with no bright or dark spots. The side-emission pattern of the SYNIOS®?P1515 LEDs is enabled by proprietary ams OSRAM optical packaging technology. ams OSRAM optical packaging Technology. ams OSRAM sidelooker LEDs are already widely used in the backlighting for high-performance automotive displays. The SYNIOS®? P1415 family is available for sampling in red (621 nm), super-red (633 nm) and yellow (587 nm) now. Production volumes are available now. Major Estimate Revision • Jan 18

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 277% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (18% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (277% increase in shares outstanding). Major Estimate Revision • Dec 13

ams-OSRAM AG Releases New Multi-Led Package ams OSRAM released a new multi-LED package which offers more than 40% higher radiant intensity than the previous generation product, resulting in higher accuracy PPG (photoplethysmography) measurements in smart watches, wristbands and other wearable devices. The SFH 7018 features a highly reflective QFN (Quad Flat No Leads) package for significantly increased light output. In addition, an improved two-cavity design separates the green LED from the red LED and infrared (IR) LED: the spacing and optical isolation ensure that the light sources are optimally placed relative to their photodiodes and reduce interference between the green light (for heart rate measurements) and the red light and IR source (for blood oxygen saturation, or SpO2, measurements). Furthermore, the green chip does not cause the red and IR chips to fluoresce due to cross-excitation from the shorter wavelength. The optimized form factor of the surface-mount QFN package - just 0.6 mm high - makes it easy to integrate the module into any type of wearable device. Despite its compact size, the SFH 7018 provides dual driving capability with optimized forward voltage headroom and reduced overall power consumption. The SFH 7018's improvement in radiant intensity is dramatic: the red and IR LEDs are more than 40% brighter than in the existing SFH 7016, and the green LED in the SFH 7018A version of the product is 80% lighter, while in the SFH 7018B version, the green LED is more than twice as bright. The brightness of the SFH 7018 at each of the red, green and IR wavelengths also greatly exceeds that of today's best-performing competing product. Since all vital signs monitoring devices face the challenge to detect little modulations of already small light signals, the result of scattering and absorption in tissue (depending on various factors), the amount of lightitted by the LEDs strongly affects system performance. When more light is modulated by the blood flow and subsequently reaches the photodiode, signal quality improves, yielding higher accuracy and better repeatability of measurements. The SFH 7018 enables this superior performance by emitting more light into the body. The SFH 7018 is available in two versions: SFH 7018A is optimized for low forward voltage at high currents, allowing for operation without a costly voltage booster. SFH 7018B is optimized for maximum radiant intensity. Both variants are in volume production now. Anuncio • Nov 24
ams OSRAM Releases RGB Versions of High-Power OSTAR Projection Compact LEDs for Machine Vision and Stage Lighting ams OSRAM adds Red, True Green and Blue colors to its OSTAR Projection Compact family of low-profile, ultra-high brightness LEDs, to enable manufacturers of machine vision systems or stage lighting fixtures to create more powerful and slimmer products. ams OSRAM already offered a White option in this package specification, that time known as OSLON Boost. The new LEDs are ideal for premium high-power lighting products because of their high current density and very high brightness. Featuring a new rectangular ams OSRAM 2 mm2 chip, these LEDs produce very high luminous output – the True Green version is the brightest 520 nm product in its class (1000 lm at 6 A). The OSTAR Projection Compact LEDs can be packed very closely together in high-power luminaire designs because of their excellent thermal dissipation and small, flat package. The thermal resistance is just 1.4 K/W, while the 4040 package has dimensions of 4.0 mm x 4.0 mm x 0.75 mm. The LEDs’ low profile enables lighting equipment and vision system manufacturers to reduce the size of their products without compromising brightness and performance. Compared to competing products with a domed primary lens, the flat package of the OSTAR Projection Compact LEDs makes them very easy to couple into optics, giving considerable flexibility to optimize the optical performance of the products for individual applications. All the OSTAR Projection Compact LEDs share the same footprint, enabling easy exchanging of colors in variants of a single board design. Winfried Schwedler, Marketing Manager of ams OSRAM, said: ‘The excellent current-carrying capability, low thermal resistance and low profile of the OSRAM OSTAR Projection Compact LEDs means that machine vision products and stage lighting equipment can produce an impressively powerful output in any color. These LEDs can also offer high value in projectors and in architectural lighting units such as wall washers. Key features of the OSTAR Projection Compact family are: KR CULPM1.23 - Red - 650 lm at 6 A; KT CULPM1.13 - True Green - 1000 lm at 6 A'' B CULPM1.14 - Blue - 7200 mW at 8 A and KW CULPM1.TG - White - 1700 lm at 10 A.
