Item 4. Undertakings
(a) Undertaking with Respect to Indemnification.
The registrant, Meridian Trust Company, National Association, hereby undertakes that insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Depositary pursuant to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, the articles of association or bylaws of the Depositary, or any agreement, arrangement, or understanding between the Depositary and any other party, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(b) Undertaking with Respect to Effectiveness.
The registrant hereby undertakes to file a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement. In addition, the registrant undertakes to file such post-effective amendments as may be necessary to reflect any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. The registrant further undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Undertaking to File Reports.
The Depositary hereby undertakes to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on an ongoing basis, copies of all notices, reports, and communications (or summaries thereof) that are sent by the Company to holders of the deposited Ordinary Shares or that are made generally available to holders of the deposited Ordinary Shares, to the extent that such materials are provided to the Depositary by the Company. The Depositary further undertakes to furnish to the SEC any information that the SEC may request from time to time with respect to the depositary arrangements established pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, including information relating to the number of ADSs outstanding, the identity of the Custodian, and the fees and charges collected by the Depositary.
(d) Additional Undertaking Regarding Form F-1 Incorporation.
The Depositary hereby undertakes that the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (Registration No. 333-\\\\\\\\) filed by Halcyon Semiconductor Aktiengesellschaft for the registration under the Securities Act of the Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs and the offering of the ADSs is incorporated herein by reference to the extent described herein and as permitted by General Instruction II of Form F-6.

This Power of Attorney is filed as Exhibit (g)(1) to this Registration Statement.
EXHIBIT (a)
DEPOSIT AGREEMENT
Note: The full Deposit Agreement is a separate document and is filed as Exhibit (a) to this Registration Statement. The following is a brief description of the Deposit Agreement to be attached hereto.
The Deposit Agreement, dated as of \\\\\\\\, 2026, is entered into among the following parties:
Issuer: Halcyon Semiconductor Aktiengesellschaft, a stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, registered in the Commercial Register (Handelsregister) of the Local Court (Amtsgericht) of Munich under HRB 217458, with its registered office at Maximilianstraße 72, 80539 Munich, Federal Republic of Germany (the "Company");
Depositary: Meridian Trust Company, National Association, a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States, with its principal offices at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286 (the "Depositary"); and
Holders: All holders and beneficial owners from time to time of American Depositary Shares issued under the Deposit Agreement.
Governing Law. The Deposit Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
ADS Ratio. Each American Depositary Share represents two (2) Ordinary Shares (Stammaktien), no par value, of the Company. The ADS ratio is subject to adjustment as provided in the Deposit Agreement.
Deposited Securities. The deposited securities consist of Ordinary Shares of Halcyon Semiconductor AG deposited with the Custodian in the Federal Republic of Germany on behalf of the Depositary. The Custodian holds the deposited Ordinary Shares in book-entry form through the facilities of Ashgrove Enterprises Banking AG, the German central securities depository.
Summary of Key Terms. The following is a summary of the key terms of the Deposit Agreement:
Deposit and Withdrawal Mechanics. The Deposit Agreement sets forth the procedures pursuant to which Ordinary Shares may be deposited with the Custodian and ADSs issued in respect thereof, and the procedures pursuant to which ADSs may be surrendered for cancellation and the underlying Ordinary Shares withdrawn from the depositary facility. Deposits may be made by delivering Ordinary Shares to the account of the Custodian at Ashgrove Enterprises Banking AG, together with such documents and instruments as the Depositary may require. Withdrawals may be effected by surrendering ADSs to the Depositary, together with written instructions for the delivery of the underlying Ordinary Shares and payment of any applicable fees and charges.
Issuance and Cancellation of ADSs. The Depositary will issue ADSs upon the deposit of Ordinary Shares with the Custodian, and will cancel ADSs upon the surrender thereof and the withdrawal of the underlying Ordinary Shares, in each case subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement and the payment of all applicable fees and charges.
Dividend and Distribution Provisions. The Depositary will distribute to ADS Holders any cash dividends or other cash distributions received by the Depositary or the Custodian in respect of the deposited Ordinary Shares, net of any applicable fees, charges, and taxes. Cash distributions received in euros (EUR) will be converted by the Depositary into United States dollars (USD) at the applicable exchange rate. For illustrative purposes, as of January 10, 2026, the EUR/USD exchange rate was approximately 1.078. The actual exchange rate applied to any distribution will be determined by the Depositary at the time of conversion and may differ from the illustrative rate. In the event that the Depositary determines that any distribution in property (other than cash or Ordinary Shares) cannot reasonably be made proportionately among ADS Holders, the Depositary may adopt any method it deems equitable and practicable for making such distribution.
German Withholding Tax. Dividends paid on the Ordinary Shares are generally subject to German withholding tax at a statutory rate of 26.375% (consisting of 25% capital gains tax (Kapitalertragsteuer) plus 5.5% solidarity surcharge (Solidaritätszuschlag) thereon). United States holders of ADSs may be eligible to claim a reduced withholding tax rate of 15% on dividends under Article 10 of the Convention between the United States of America and the Federal Republic of Germany for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income and Capital and to Certain Other Taxes (the "US-Germany Tax Treaty"), subject to the filing of applicable certification forms and compliance with refund procedures established by the German Federal Central Tax Office (Bundeszentralamt für Steuern). The Deposit Agreement contains provisions relating to the Company's and the Depositary's obligations with respect to German withholding tax, including the Depositary's obligation to cooperate with ADS Holders in connection with claims for reduced withholding or refunds of excess withholding under the US-Germany Tax Treaty.
Voting Instruction Procedures. Upon receipt from the Company of notice of any general meeting of shareholders (Hauptversammlung) or any solicitation of consents or proxies of holders of Ordinary Shares, the Depositary will, if requested by the Company and at the Company's expense, distribute to ADS Holders the notice of such meeting (or a summary thereof) together with voting instruction materials. The Depositary will endeavor, insofar as practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the deposited Ordinary Shares in accordance with the voting instructions received from ADS Holders, subject to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Company's articles of association (Satzung). ADS Holders who do not provide timely voting instructions to the Depositary will not have their Ordinary Shares voted, unless the Deposit Agreement provides for a discretionary proxy to the Depositary under certain circumstances, as described therein.
Pre-emptive Rights Treatment. In the event that the Company offers or causes to be offered pre-emptive rights (Bezugsrechte) to holders of Ordinary Shares in connection with a capital increase or other issuance of securities, the Depositary will, if practicable and if permitted by applicable law, distribute to ADS Holders evidence of the right to subscribe for additional ADSs or, at the direction of the Company, sell such rights and distribute the net proceeds to ADS Holders. If the Depositary determines that it is not lawful or not practicable to make such rights available to ADS Holders, the Depositary may, in its discretion, sell or otherwise dispose of such rights and distribute the net proceeds, if any, to ADS Holders.
Liability Limitations of Depositary. The Deposit Agreement limits the liability of the Depositary and its agents in certain circumstances, including, without limitation, acts or omissions of the Depositary or its agents that are not the result of negligence or bad faith, delays or inabilities to perform obligations due to the condition of the securities markets in the United States or abroad, changes in law or regulation, acts of government, war, terrorism, or other events beyond the Depositary's reasonable control. The Deposit Agreement also provides that the Depositary shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any custodian, clearing agency, or securities depository, except to the extent that such acts or omissions are the result of the Depositary's negligence in appointing or monitoring such party.
Fee Schedule. The Deposit Agreement provides for the fees and charges summarized above under Item 2 ("Fees and Charges"), including the annual depositary service fee of $0.05 per ADS per annum, issuance fees, cancellation fees, distribution fees, and reimbursable charges. The full fee schedule is set forth in Schedule A to the Deposit Agreement and is filed as Exhibit (a)(2) to this Registration Statement.
Amendment and Termination. The Company and the Depositary may amend the Deposit Agreement and the form of ADR at any time and from time to time, without the consent of ADS Holders, for any reason. If an amendment imposes or increases any fee or charge (other than taxes and other governmental charges, registration fees, cable, telex, or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs, or other such expenses), or otherwise prejudices a substantial existing right of ADS Holders, it will not become effective as to outstanding ADSs until 30 days after notice thereof has been given to ADS Holders. The Depositary may terminate the Deposit Agreement at any time by giving at least 90 days' prior written notice to the Company, and the Company may terminate the Deposit Agreement at any time by giving at least 90 days' prior written notice to the Depositary.
Reporting and Disclosure Obligations. The Depositary undertakes to make available to ADS Holders all reports, notices, and other communications received from the Company that are made generally available to holders of the Ordinary Shares. The Depositary will also comply with all applicable SEC filing obligations, including the filing of annual reports on Form F-6 amendments and any other reports required by the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
