2020 Annual Report and Notice of Annual General Meeting (AGM)

Pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.3, Nanoco confirms that its Notice of Annual General Meeting, Proxy voting forms and Annual Report and Accounts for the financial year ended 31 July 2020 (the "Documents") have been made available to shareholders. Shareholders opting out of electronic communication will receive paper copies of the Documents while those who have not opted out will receive a paper copy of the Proxy form only.

Copies of the Documents have also been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM. The Documents are also available on the Company's website at www.nanocotechnologies.com and from the Company's registered office at 46 Grafton Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M13 9NT.

The continuing coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic has led to the imposition of severe restrictions on the way in which we all conduct business and in particular on public gatherings. As a result, the Directors have decided to facilitate holding the AGM remotely, while still endeavouring to create a forum for the conduct of the formal business set out in the Notice of AGM and providing an opportunity for shareholders to raise questions of the Directors.

The Company therefore wishes to notify its shareholders that physical attendance in person at the AGM will not be possible. The Company will offer shareholders the option to participate in the Meeting remotely via a Zoom webinar and conference call facility. The webinar and conference facility will be used to respond to questions and for the formal business as set out in the Notice of AGM to be conducted. Questions should be submitted in advance of the Meeting as described in the Notice of AGM.

Shareholders will not be able to vote at the Meeting if they attend via the webinar and facility. The Board therefore encourages shareholders to submit Proxy Forms and to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy with their voting instructions.

Shareholders who hold their shares on an electronic trading platform will not receive a hard copy voting form or Proxy Form. Shareholders using such platforms should contact their service provider directly in order to vote their shares.

The Company's Annual General Meeting is being held at 11.00 am on 3 December 2020 via the webinar and conference call facility. To register to attend the meeting, please use the following link: https://enginegroup.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_4ZvHyQaaT-q5raQqp8Ygsw

About Nanoco Group plc

Nanoco (LSE: NANO) harnesses the power of nano-materials. Nano-materials are materials with dimensions typically in the range 1 - 100 nm. Nano-materials have a range of useful properties, including optical and electronic. Quantum dots are a subclass of nano-material that have size-dependent optical and electronic properties. The Group produces quantum dots.

�

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 Display and Electronics markets. One of the interesting properties of quantum dots is photoluminescence: the emission of longer wavelength light upon excitation by light of a shorter wavelength. The colour of light emitted depends on the particle size. 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 applications including displays, lighting and biological imaging.

Nanoco was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Manchester, UK, with a US subsidiary, Nanoco Inc., in Concord, MA. Nanoco continues to build out a world-class, patent-protected IP portfolio generated both by its own innovation engine, as well as through acquisition.

Nanoco is listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and trades under the ticker symbol NANO. For further information please visit: www.nanocogroup.com.
