AGM Statement

Nanoco Group plc (AIM: NANO), a world leader in the development and manufacture of cadmium-free quantum dots and other nanomaterials, will this morning hold its Annual General Meeting ("AGM").

Anthony Clinch, Nanoco's Chairman, will make the following statement:

"We highlighted in our preliminary results in October that our partnership with the Dow Chemical Company for the mass manufacture of Nanoco quantum dots for the display market is proceeding well. I am pleased to report that since that time we have shipped a substantial amount of sample materials to potential customers. This demand for materials gives us confidence that we are moving closer to the signing of the first commercial order from the display industry.

"I am delighted to announce today that we have just signed a further joint development agreement ("JDA") with Osram, one of the world's largest lighting companies. This JDA, which will run until September 2014, will focus on the optimum solution for combining Nanoco's cadmium-free quantum dots into LEDs for general lighting.

"In the year ahead, we look forward to continued progress in all of our key target markets including display, LED general lighting, solar and bio-imaging."
