Breakthrough Launch Agreement with a Top Ten Global Washing Machine Brand

 

The Board of Xeros Technology Group plc (AIM:XSG), the creator of technologies
that reduce the impact of clothing on the planet, is delighted to announce
that it has signed a breakthrough launch agreement with a global leading
washing machine manufacturer.

 

 ·   Development and Product Launch Agreement ("Launch Agreement") signed with one
     of the world's largest, branded washing machine manufacturers

 ·   A global leader selling around seven million domestic washing machines per
     year, operating predominantly across North and Latin America

 ·   A paid-for, time-bound process with defined milestones and deliverables,
     anticipated to complete in around 12-18 months

 ·   The intended outcome of the Launch Agreement is the mass production of
     domestic washing machines using Xeros' laundry care technology

 ·   The Group anticipates similar paid for agreements will follow, as it currently
     has three further global washing machine manufacturers in technical
     verification

 

The Group is thrilled that it has signed a significant Launch Agreement with
one of the world's largest, branded washing machine manufacturers to develop a
domestic washing machine under the manufacturer's global brand using Xeros'
Laundry Care technology and Product Certification Mark*.

 

The manufacturer, which cannot be named due to commercial sensitivity, is a
global leader, and top ten brand, selling around seven million domestic
washing machines per year, operating predominantly across North and Latin
America. The intended outcome of the Launch Agreement is the mass production
of domestic washing machines using Xeros' Laundry Care technology (XDrum and
XOrbs) under the manufacturer's brand, with the inclusion of Xeros, as a
sub-brand, by way of its Product Certification Mark.

 

The Launch Agreement will follow a paid-for, time-bound process with defined
milestones and deliverables, and is anticipated to complete in around 12-18
months. Post completion, revenue will come from a royalty payment for each
Product Certification Mark used, and from the sale of XOrbs.

 

The Group anticipates similar paid for agreements will follow, with three
further global washing machine manufacturers currently in technical
verification.

 

Commenting on the Launch Agreement, Neil Austin CEO said:

 

"The Agreement to develop a Laundry Care machine with a top ten global brand
is a game changer for the Group and on a personal level the key moment I have
been working towards since joining the business. We are absolutely thrilled to
be working with them and believe this is the strongest evidence yet for the
global adoption of Xeros' Care Technology."

 

 

 *  The Product Certification Mark has been developed by Xeros and is intended to
    be applied to all licensed technology going forward. It is a holographic badge
    with Xeros' logo and a QR Code linking to a technology information webpage. It
    is applied to each unit at the point of manufacture, and signals that Xeros'
    patented innovative technology has been used. In addition, it provides a clear
    trigger point for Royalty payment, rather than at point of sale.

About Xeros

 

Xeros Technology plc has developed patented and proven, industry-leading
technologies which reduce the environmental impact of how industries make and
care for clothes.

 

The traditional wet processing methods used in industrial and domestic laundry
and garment manufacturing consume billions of litres of fresh water and large
amounts of energy and chemicals, as well as damaging and weakening clothing
fibres and creating rising levels of environmental pollution. It is estimated
that washing machines contribute 35% of the 171 trillion microplastic
particles in the ocean.

 

A range of actors, including consumers, the media NGOs and regulators are
exerting pressure on these industries, with legislative action beginning to be
taken.

 

Xeros' three main technologies, Microfibre Filter, Laundry Care, and Garment
Finishing, facilitate garment manufacturers, industrial laundries, domestic
washing machine manufacturers and consumers, to reduce their environmental
impact, whilst also significantly improving efficiency in the process.

 

Xeros' model is to generate revenue from licensing its technologies,
generating royalties and the sale of consumables. Currently there are eight
agreements in place. The addressable markets in Microfibre Filter, Laundry
Care, and Garment Finishing are estimated to be valued at £350m p.a., £3bn
p.a. and £132m p.a. respectively.
