Shortly after the H123 period end, Nanoco signed the final agreements to settle the litigation with Samsung on a no fault basis for the alleged infringement of the group’s IP.

After deducting litigation costs, Nanoco will retain c £71.4m net proceeds after costs. The settlement frees management to concentrate on getting the company ready for volume production in anticipation of receiving its first production order later in CY23.
