milestones including the move from AIM to the Official List and

the display market.
Tony joined Nanoco's Board as a Non-Executive Director in March
2010 and was appointed Chairman in April 2013.
Chris Richards, who joined Nanoco's Board as a Non-Executive
Director in November 2015, has been appointed Chairman.

effect.
Michael Edelman, Nanoco's Chief Executive Officer, said: "On
behalf of the Board, I would like to express sincere thanks to Tony
Clinch for the major contribution he has made to Nanoco's
development in the past six years, most recently as Chairman. In
this role, he has provided wise counsel on the commercial
transition of the Company in the display market, opening up new
commercial opportunities through a non-exclusive licensing
strategy. We thank Tony for his dedication to Nanoco and wish him
well in his future endeavours.
"I would also like to welcome Chris Richards, a Non-Executive
Director for the past six months, to the role of Chairman. I'm
confident that he will build on the platform that Tony has created,
and guide us in the exploitation of Nanoco's world-leading
technology through multiple channels in the display market and in
our other target markets."
