Posting of Annual Report and Notice of Annual General Meeting

 

Directa Plus (AIM: DCTA), a leading producer and supplier of graphene-based
products for use in consumer and industrial markets, announces that the
Company's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021,
together with the notice (the "Notice") of the Company's annual general
meeting ("AGM") have been posted to shareholders and will be available shortly
on the Company's website.

 

The AGM will be held on Friday, 17 June 2022 at 10.30 a.m. at 11-12 St.
James's Square, London, SW1Y 4LB.

 

The Notice sets out the resolutions to be considered and, if appropriate,
passed at the AGM. In line with the requirements of the Company's Articles of
Association, the resolutions include proposals for the re-election of at least
one-third of the Board of Directors, notwithstanding that those individuals
may already have been re-elected within a three-year period. At the
forthcoming AGM, the Directors nominated for re-election will be Sir Peter
Middleton (Chairman) and Giulio Cesareo (CEO).

 

However, Shareholders should note that Sir Peter has indicated his intention
to step down as Chairman of Directa Plus and from the Board of Directors prior
to the next AGM, and as soon as a process to identify and appoint a suitable
successor has been completed. The Board of Directors is also committed to a
broader process to review and refresh the constitution of the Board, in
particular to bring additional diversity and expertise to the Company. This
process will be overseen by Neil Warner, the Senior Independent Non-Executive
Director of the Company, and further updates will follow in due course.

About Directa Plus

Directa Plus (www.directa-plus.com) is one of the largest producers and
suppliers of graphene-based products for use in consumer and industrial
markets. The Company's graphene manufacturing capability uses proprietary
patented technology based on a plasma super expansion process. Starting from
natural graphite, each step of Directa Plus' production process - expansion,
exfoliation and drying - creates graphene-based materials and hybrid graphene
materials ready for a variety of uses and available in various forms such as
powder, liquid and paste.

 

This proprietary production process uses a physical process, rather than a
chemical process, to process graphite into pristine graphene nanoplatelets,
which enables Directa Plus to offer a sustainable, non-toxic product, without
unwanted by-products. Directa Plus' products are made of hybrid graphene
materials and graphene nano-platelets. The products (marketed as G+®) have
multiple applications due to its properties. These G+® products can be
categorised into various families, with different products being suitable for
specific practical applications.
