Quixant plc
("Quixant" or the "Group")
AGM Statement
The Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of Quixant (AIM:QXT), a leading provider of innovative, highly engineered technology products principally for the global gaming and broadcast industries, will be held today at 11:00am at the Group's offices at The Galleria, Station Road, Crawley, RH10 1WW.
At the AGM, Quixant Chairman, Michael Peagram, will make the following statement on current trading:
"We have continued to see healthy demand for our products across the business consistent with that communicated in the announcement of our financial results for FY2020 on 14 April 2021. Order intake remains strong, providing us with further improved order coverage for our internal full year budget. The global shortage of semiconductors is impacting many industries, including our own, and remains a risk we are continuing to manage.
"This is my last AGM as Chairman of Quixant as I retire after nine years of service. I am leaving Quixant in a strong position after successfully weathering a year when our key market was heavily disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the global gaming market seeing a restoration in demand and new opportunities in the near term, Quixant is in a stronger position than ever to resume its record of profitable growth. I am confident my Board colleague, Francis Small, who is taking over as Chairman from today, will help steer the Group to continued success."
Shareholders unable to attend the AGM should join by conference call on +44 20 3443 9854; Conference ID 541 260 050 by 10:45am at the latest to enable Quixant to confirm their identity.
