Proposal to Appoint Liquidators to nanosynth group plc

Further to its announcement on 6 April 2023, regarding the Company's financial position, the board of nanosynth ("Board") has pursued the potential funding options available to it and determined that these are unlikely to come to fruition within the required timeframe. Accordingly, after taking independent advice, the directors of the Company have concluded that the only available course of action in order to protect creditors is to commence the insolvent liquidation of the Company via an insolvency process called a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation. Accordingly, ReSolve Advisory Limited has been engaged to undertake the necessary support in this process.

The Board has resolved that a general meeting of the Members of the Company be convened ("General Meeting"), to be held on a hybrid basis via an online platform and in person at FinnCap, 1 Bartholomew Cl, London  EC1A 7BL on a date and time to be advised in line with the Company's articles of association.  The purpose of the General Meeting is to consider, and if thought fit, pass the following resolutions, number 1 as a Special resolution and number 2, as an Ordinary resolution:

Resolutions                                                                                                                                                        

1.    "That the Company be wound up voluntarily"; and

2.    "That Simon Jagger and Cameron Gunn of ReSolve Advisory Limited, 22 York Buildings, London WC2N 6JU, be appointed as Joint Liquidators of the Company and that they be authorised to act either jointly or separately".

A circular convening this general meeting will be published in the coming days.

The Company has requested that trading in the shares of the Company on AIM be suspended until further notice and in due course, the admission of the Company's ordinary shares to trading on AIM is expected to be cancelled.  As a result of the insolvency of the Company it is unlikely that there will be any residual value to distribute to shareholders.

Upon the appointment of liquidators, the Company's nominated adviser will step down with immediate effect. In accordance with AIM Rule 1, if within one month of that day the Company has failed to appoint a replacement nominated adviser, which given the circumstances is unlikely, the admission of its securities to trading on AIM will be cancelled. 

All enquiries relating to the liquidation process should now be made directly to ReSolve Advisory Limited.
