NANOCO GROUP PLC
("Nanoco" or the "Company")
2021 Annual Report and Notice of Annual General Meeting (AGM)
Pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.3, Nanoco confirms that its Notice of Annual General Meeting, Proxy voting forms and Annual Report and Accounts for the financial year ended 31 July 2021 (the "Documents") have been made available to shareholders. Shareholders opting out of electronic communication will receive paper copies of the Documents while those who have not opted out will receive a paper copy of the Proxy form only.
Copies of the Documents have also been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM. The Documents are also available on the Company's website at www.nanocotechnologies.com and from the Company's registered office at 46 Grafton Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M13 9NT.
The continuing coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic has led to the imposition of restrictions on the way in which we all conduct business and in particular on public gatherings. As a result, the Directors have decided to hold the AGM in person at their head offices, but also facilitate a remote option for those who wish to dial in. Details are included further down. Questions should be submitted in advance of the Meeting as described in the Notice of AGM.
Shareholders will not be able to vote at the Meeting if they attend via the webinar and facility. The Board therefore encourages shareholders to submit Proxy Forms and to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy with their voting instructions.
Shareholders who hold their shares on an electronic trading platform will not receive a hard copy voting form or Proxy Form. Shareholders using such platforms should contact their service provider directly in order to vote their shares.
The Company's Annual General Meeting is being held at 11.00 am on 30 November 2021, and the following link can be used to register for those who do not wish to attend in person: https://webcasting.brrmedia.co.uk/broadcast/617a688fdf7b150b81e95dd7

About Nanoco Group plc
Nanoco (LSE: NANO) harnesses the power of nano-materials. Nano-materials are materials with dimensions typically in the range 1 - 100 nm. Nano-materials have a range of useful properties, including optical and electronic. Quantum dots are a subclass of nano-material that have size-dependent optical and electronic properties. The Group produces quantum dots.
Within the sphere of quantum dots, the Group exploits different characteristics of the quantum dots to target different performance criteria that are attractive to specific markets or end-user applications such as the Display and Electronics markets. One of the interesting properties of quantum dots is photoluminescence: the emission of longer wavelength light upon excitation by light of a shorter wavelength. The colour of light emitted depends on the particle size. Nanoco's CFQD® quantum dots are free of cadmium and other toxic heavy metals, and can be tuned to emit light at different wavelengths across the visible and infrared spectrum, rendering them useful for a wide range of applications including displays, lighting and biological imaging.
Nanoco was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Manchester, UK, with a US subsidiary, Nanoco Inc., in Concord, MA. Nanoco continues to build out a world-class, patent-protected IP portfolio generated both by its own innovation engine, as well as through acquisition.
Nanoco is listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and trades under the ticker symbol NANO. For further information please visit: www.nanocogroup.com.
