Due a half year trading update. Small JDA announcements overdue - given Dimitry talked about a handful at the FY presentation.

Sept RNS has Milkwood holding 8.04% in shares, just shares with full voting rights. Come the agm and someone - can only be Milkwood - voting against resolutions with a holding of 5.7%. What do you think happened to the other 4 million shares?

Curious to see what Milkwood's holding is currently. Presumably it was their 5.7 % holding voting against agm resolutions. If they had managed to sell 2.3 per cent who knows where they are now and explains the price action.

If your money was on LG were you thinking Apple are getting stiffed? Would make any dialogue between Nano and Apple interesting.

Abstract:

Hide Abstract –

Singly-doped colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are promising spin-photon interfaces for quantum memories and quantum repeaters; they are substrate-free, benefit from large optical cross-sections, and have a composition and structure that be finely-tuned by well-developed synthetic techniques. However, previously single doping of CQDs could not be deterministically achieved, impacting their viability for quantum technology applications. Here we demonstrate their growth from molecular seed clusters incorporating single Mn atoms and characterise their optical and spin properties. These include a photoluminescence quantum yield of up to 72% and a spin-lattice lifetime of 9.4 ms, the longest yet reported for a doped CQD.

One investor holding 5.7 percent, what have milkwood done with their other 2.3 per cent?

I didn't get the time. I recall at the FY presentation Dimitry saying licensing opps was first priority on commercial side because production would have a much longer lead in for income and that they had a 'handful' of JDAs under review. The CTO in response to an Apple using QD question also saying some discussions were ongoing but not in the public domain. Even if its just a new JDA would be good to have some positive news soon.

Guessing CEO and CTO were the ones attending IEDM, names checks for Sony and IMEC

Does it make them any cheaper?

Bit shoddy of Milkwood not to withdraw their motions, not put out their argument in a statement, not to even vote. Time wasters.

Well that was a fun 1 hour 4 minutes. I got the sense that they are genuinely doing both commercial development with Dimitry and the CDX op business sale in parallel and not that one was a smokescreen for the other.

1st priority for new ceo is licensing in display, going to have sales staff abroad, handful of JDAs under discussion. Development of QD inks for sensors was a new one for me.

All very positive, but let's have some results Dimitry. Soon.

All socks do is make their owner look a little deranged

The last linkedin ad by the ops director made me think of Meta subcontracting all of plesseys production for a number of years, it was that sort of invitation.

If anyone has a chance to ask what the current chair is going on about when he says they are not selling the the whole group and what will remain in the group after any sale it would clear a lot of things up.

"The Board has therefore appointed advisers (CDX Advisors LLC ("CDX")) to review the options for the group's trading business and assets (which includes our IP), including a potential sale. To be clear, this is not a proposed sale of the whole Group. Work with CDX has commenced with a view to achieving the best possible financial outcome and to secure the long-term future of the Group's IP and operations. This process will be undertaken at pace and the Group's considerable financial resources mean that the trading business will continue to be supported to grow and not compromise its potential."

On the platform i'm using they use another service to deal with voting, the forms say the board recommends voting FOR the motions. lol
