("Nanoco" or "the Company")

AGM Statement

Nanoco Group plc (LSE: NANO), a world leader in the development and manufacture of cadmium-free quantum dots and other nanomaterials, will hold its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") later this morning at its headquarters in Manchester.

Dr Chris Richards, Nanoco's Chairman, will make the following statement:

"Since we updated the market in mid-November with our preliminary results we have continued to make good progress in the commercialisation of our CFQD® nanoparticle technology. This was underlined by a successful CES in Las Vegas this week, which was attended by industry players, customers and the financial community and generated several leads for both TVs and monitor products.

"We demonstrated a number of TVs and monitors equipped with Nanoco product at CES and we also launched the next generation of NANOCO CFQD® FINE COLOR FILM™. This new film delivers outstanding levels of brightness and colour performance, as the industry progresses on the roadmap to DCI-P3 and BT.2020 standards and away from cadmium-based solutions."

"We are encouraged by the increasing number of Nanoco equipped display products moving through to commercial production with customers in Asia. 

 "With the benefit of a strengthened balance sheet, the progress being made with our go-to-market strategy in Display and the emerging opportunities in other markets, we look forward to the year ahead with confidence."
