Commenting on the transition, Non-Executive Chairman Kevin Crofton said:
“Blake has provided strong leadership through a period of significant transformation for Adisyn,
including the acquisition of 2D Generation and the Company’s strategic repositioning toward
semiconductor technology. On behalf of the Board, I would like to sincerely thank Blake for his
commitment and leadership. As Adisyn enters its next phase as a semiconductor-focused technology

2D Generation, make him ideally placed to lead the Company forward.”
Mr Kohavi brings deep technical, commercial and operational expertise, having led 2D Generation’s
technology development and industry engagement. His appointment as Managing Director will
support the acceleration of Adisyn’s semiconductor-focused strategy, including technology
development, commercial partnerships and market engagement.

corporate development and stakeholder engagement as Adisyn advances its semiconductor growth
agenda.

semiconductor IP portfolio and to deliver long-term shareholder value.
