They were share acquisitions in lieu of salary for NEDs so off market issuance of shares…they then actually sold shares to cover tax.
Nanoco (LSE: NANO), a world leader in the development and manufacture of cadmium-free quantum dots and other specific nanomaterials emanating from our technology platform, confirms that it has issued 935,778 ordinary shares to satisfy the deferral of director fees of existing and former non-executive directors, as stated in the trading update RNS issued on 19th August 2025. In aggregate, 160,021 of these have been sold to satisfy income tax and national insurance requirements, with the remaining 775,757 being retained by the current and former non-executive directors. The number of shares the directors were entitled to was calculated at each month end of the deferral period.
Those no longer on the board would not have to declare sales…those that are would.
Dr Pickett announced he had sold down his holding to below 3% so as no longer a director and below that threshold we cannot know what he has done with the balance of his holding.
