`
`Margaret "Peggy" Hines PhD, a quantum dot specialist with an impressive track

`played a key role in the development of core/shell quantum dots. She has also
`gained considerable commercial experience at nanotechnology companies including
`Solexant Corporation and Evident Technologies, Inc.
`
`Dr Hines will be based in the USA and will support The Dow Chemical Company's roll
`out of Nanoco's cadmium-free quantum dots to the global display industry as well as
`providing technical assistance to Nanoco's customer base. Dow signed an exclusive,
`global licensing deal with Nanoco in January 2013 for the manufacture, marketing
`and sale of Nanoco's cadmium-free quantum dots into the display industry.
`
`Jin-Ho Park PhD, an advanced materials specialist with years of experience in R&D
`and product development at Samsung Electronics, has been appointed Vice
`President Business Development, Korea. Dr Park, a South Korean national, gained his
`PhD at Imperial College, London, and carried out post-doctoral research at the
`University of Manchester. Prior to joining Nanoco, he was a principal engineer at
`Samsung, working in the company's semiconductor R&D centre in South Korea.
`
`Dr Park, who will be based in South Korea, will work closely with Nanoco's key
`Korean customers and potential customers.
`
`Michael Edelman, Nanoco's CEO, commented: "I'm delighted to welcome Peggy and
`Jin-Ho to Nanoco. They both have excellent commercial and research experience
`and I look forward to their contribution to the successful roll-out of Nanoco's
`cadmium-free quantum dot technology."
