Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 8, 2026, Everspin Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and Microchip Technology (“Microchip”) entered into a Foundry Services Agreement (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, Microchip will manufacture 8-inch Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (“MRAM”), Tunnel Magnetoresistive (“TMR”) sensor, and Spin-transfer Torque (“STT”) MRAM wafers for the Company at Microchip’s Fab 4 facility located in Gresham, Oregon. The Agreement has an initial term of ten (10) years from the effective date and will automatically renew for additional two (2) year periods unless either party provides at least two (2) years’ prior written notice of its intent not to renew.
Pursuant to the Agreement, subject to certain conditions, including the procurement and installation of tooling and payment of certain costs, Microchip has agreed to support MRAM, TMR and STT-MRAM wafer manufacturing. The Company anticipates that capacity for Toggle and Sensor flows will commence approximately eighteen (18) months from the effective date, and capacity for STT flows will commence approximately thirty (30) months from the effective date. The Company will reimburse Microchip an estimated total of approximately $13.95 million in two phases for costs associated with relocation, installation, deinstallation of tooling, process set-up, project management, and initial qualification. Phase 1 costs total approximately $8.95 million, consisting of approximately $5.45 million for relocation and installation costs and $3.5 million in non-recurring engineering charges. Phase 2 costs total approximately $5.0 million, consisting of approximately $4.0 million for relocation and installation costs and $1.0 million in non-recurring engineering charges. The relocation and installation cost estimates are subject to adjustment based on actual documented expenditures. Each party retains ownership of its pre-existing intellectual property. Foreground intellectual property created under the Agreement that constitutes an improvement to the Company’s product designs is owned by the Company, while foreground intellectual property related to process technology is owned by Microchip. The Company has granted Microchip a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use Everspin technology solely for the purpose of providing goods and services to the Company. Each party has granted the other exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free cross-licenses under foreground intellectual property for their respective fields of use. The Agreement includes minimum purchase commitments that ramp to a maximum of 1,300 wafers per quarter over time. If the Company fails to meet these minimum purchase amounts in any quarter, it must pay Microchip the shortfall in cash within forty-five days after the end of such quarter. During the term of the Agreement and for two (2) years thereafter, Microchip is restricted from manufacturing devices having TMR elements/stacks for the Company’s competitors or disclosing related manufacturing know-how to the Company’s competitors; provided, however, that Microchip may purchase any TMR elements/stacks (including, for example, MRAM and TMR Sensors) from third parties so long as no Company confidential information, Company technology or Company intellectual property is used.
The foregoing summary of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2026 and is incorporated herein by reference.
