• Power Management is a large and growing market

• Silicon has reached performance limits

• EPC has developed proprietary enhancement-mode GaN technology (eGaN®) that allows EPC’s FETs to broadly replace power MOSFETs

• Manufacturing platform is inherently cost effective, and will quickly be less expensive to produce per area than silicon
