4ds - the problem with technology stocks, and a proposal., page-60

It was relayed by a roadshow attendee. DM had said something along the lines that IMEC wont put their name to much or say much about 4ds because they are conservative and dont want to show favour (when compared with all the other companies they help).

Seems odd given:

1. Earlier info given by DM claiming imec are rolling out the red carpet for us, giving us their best people, more fab time, etc etc. Thats clear favouritism. Unless of course we are paying for all this and DM maybe embelishing to try help a dead SP?

2. Imec published and co authored many pieces about tech they are helping develop.

Both of these fly in the face of what DM suggests about them not wanting to play favourites.
