(TSXV: NTS) (OTCQX: NTSFF) (“Nanotech” or the “Company”), a leader in the development of secure and memorable nano-optic security features used in the government and banknote and brand protection markets, announces it will host its annual general meeting (the “Meeting”) in a virtual-only format in response to the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic.

The Board of Directors has made the decision to not hold an in-person meeting as previously communicated in the Notice of Meeting dated February 28, 2020 sent to shareholders and filed on the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Currently, Nanotech intends to resume holding in-person shareholders’ meetings in subsequent years.

In order to streamline the virtual meeting process, the Company strongly encourages shareholders to vote in advance of the meeting using the Form of Proxy or Voting Instruction Form mailed to them with the meeting materials. Comprehensive information with respect to how registered and beneficial shareholders may vote in advance of the meeting is available in Nanotech’s Management Information Circular, also filed on SEDAR. Please note, meeting materials previously distributed to shareholders will not be updated to reflect the change to a virtual format.

The deadline to vote your proxy in advance of the meeting is Monday, April 6, 2020 at 11:00 am Pacific Daylight Time.

The webcast and teleconference will allow shareholders to listen to the proceedings, ask questions, submit votes in writing through the webcast or verbally through the teleconference, and otherwise participate in the Meeting in real-time. Details for shareholders interested in attending the virtual meeting are below. Participants should login or and/or dial in approximately 10 minutes prior to the start time.
