29 November 2024

NANOCO GROUP PLC

("Nanoco" or the "Company")

 

Glass Lewis and ISS recommend voting against both resolutions

Nanoco Group plc (LSE: NANO), a world leader in the development and
manufacture of cadmium-free quantum dots and other specific nanomaterials
emanating from its technology platform, notes the voting recommendations
published by Glass Lewis & Co ("Glass Lewis") and Institutional
Shareholder Services ("ISS") in relation to the Group's forthcoming General
Meeting to be held on 13 December 2024.

Both Glass Lewis and ISS recommend that shareholders:

1.   Vote AGAINST the appointment of Rhys Drennan Summerton as a director of
the Company

2.   Vote AGAINST the appointment of Andre Charles Tonkin as a director of
the Company

Christopher Richards, Non-Executive Chairman of Nanoco, commented:

"It is encouraging that both Glass Lewis and ISS have supported the Board's
recommendations to vote against both resolutions at our upcoming general
meeting.

We have been clear that the Board believe that the Resolutions are not aligned
with the interests of all of the Company's Shareholders and would be highly
disruptive to the Board's ability to execute its clear strategy to deliver
value to Shareholders.

Given the composition of Nanoco's shareholder register, it is critical that
all shareholders vote at the upcoming general meeting in order to protect
their future returns. If shareholders have any questions on how to vote their
shares, particularly through nominee accounts, I would personally urge them to
contact us."

About Nanoco Group plc

Nanoco (LSE: NANO) is a nanomaterial production and licensing group,
specialising in the production of its patented cadmium free quantum dots
(CFQD®) and other patented nanomaterials for use in the electronics
industries. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Runcorn, UK, Nanoco continues
to build out a world-class, patent-protected IP portfolio alongside its
existing scaled up production facilities for commercial orders.

Nanomaterials are materials with dimensions typically in the range 1 - 100 nm.
Nanomaterials have a range of useful properties, including optical and
electronic. Quantum dots are a subclass of nanomaterial that have
size-dependent optical and electronic properties. 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 Sensor, Electronics and Display markets.
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 display
applications. Nanoco's HEATWAVE™ quantum dots can be tuned to absorb light
at different wavelengths across the near-infrared spectra, rendering them
useful for applications including cameras and image sensors.

Nanoco is listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, holds the
LSE's Green Economy Mark, and trades under the ticker symbol NANO. For further
