In accordance with the passing of the Resolution, Cancellation is expected to become effective at 7.00 a.m. on 15 May 2025 and not 8.00 a.m. as previously notified.
The expected timetable of principal events in relation to the Circular is as follows:
Last day of dealing in Ordinary Shares on AIM | 31 March 2025 |
Time and date of cancellation | 7.00 a.m. on 15 May 2025 |
Secondary Market Trading Facility for Shares commences | 15 May 2025 |
Dealing and settlement arrangements following Cancellation
The Company intends to introduce a Secondary Market Trading Facility for the Ordinary Shares, to help facilitate purchases or sales of Ordinary Shares following Cancellation. This flexibility is so that Shareholders have the option to sell their Ordinary Shares should they wish to do so but do not need to make that decision immediately.
The Secondary Market Trading Facility will be provided by Asset Match, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 579310). Further details of the Secondary Market Trading Facility can be found at www.assetmatch.com. This facility will allow existing Shareholders and new investors to trade Ordinary Shares by matching buyers and sellers through periodic auctions. Investors are encouraged to register on www.assetmatch.com and add Zytronic to their 'Watchlist' to continue to receive Company updates and auction/price information.
Shareholders wishing to trade these securities can do so through their stockbroker. The Asset Match trading facility operates under its own code of practice which governs the behaviour of participants and the running of the periodic auctions. Asset Match operates an open auction system where volumes of bids and offers at different prices are displayed in an order book on its website together with the closing date of the auction. At the end of each auction period, Asset Match passes this information through a non-discretionary algorithm that determines a "market-derived" share price based on supply and demand and allocates transactions accordingly. Bids and offers may be made and withdrawn at any time before the closing date of each auction.
Shareholders will continue to be able to hold their Shares in uncertificated form (in CREST) and should check with their existing stockbroker whether they are willing or able to trade in unquoted shares. Shareholders wishing to trade shares through Asset Match must do so through a stockbroker. A comprehensive list of stockbrokers who have signed up to access the Asset Match platform is available on request from Asset Match.
Full details will be made available to Shareholders on the Company's website at www.zytronic.co.uk and directly by letter or e-mail (where appropriate). Shareholders may contact Asset Match in relation to any queries regarding trading via the secondary market trading facility by emailing [email protected].
The Secondary Market Trading Facility is expected to be available for a period of at least one year after Cancellation. The Directors' current intention is that it will continue beyond that time, but Shareholders should note that it could be withdrawn and therefore inhibit the ability to trade the Shares. Further details will be communicated to the Shareholders at the relevant time.
Shareholders are invited to retain their Ordinary Shares in the Company, but are welcome to participate in the monthly auctions under the Secondary Market Trading Facility operated by Asset Match, which will allow Shareholders to sell down their holdings should they wish to do so.
The Company expects to be admitted to the Secondary Market Trading Facility on 15 May 2025, at which point shareholders will be able to submit buy and sell instructions via their broker. The first auction is expected to close on 20 June 2025, followed by monthly auctions thereafter.

The Company's trading entity Zytronic Displays Limited ("ZDL") is an established developer and manufacturer of a range of internationally award-winning optically transparent interactive touch sensor overlay products for use with electronic displays in industrial, self-service and public access equipment.
ZDL has continually developed process and technological know-how and intellectual property since the late 1990's around two projected capacitance ("PCAP") sensing methodologies; trademarked by it as PCT™ ("Projected Capacitive Technology") and MPCT™ ("Mutual Projected Capacitive Technology"), in respect of which 20 internationally granted patents are held. As part of this the Company has invested in and developed an advanced electronic PCAP controller, the ZXY500, which incorporates a specialist Application Specific Integrated Circuit ("ASIC") specified and owned by Zytronic, and bespoke firmware on the controller processor.
ZDL's PCAP sensing solutions are readily configurable and embedded in a laminate core which offers significant durability, environmental stability, and optical enhancement benefits to meet system-specific design requirements.
The Company is headquartered at Blaydon-upon-Tyne in the United Kingdom. ZDL operates from this site, providing its manufactured products globally through a number of sales channel partners. ZDL differentiates itself from others in the touch eco-system as it offers a complete one-stop solution including processing internally of the form and factor of glass and film substrates, the assembly of the associated touch overlay products, in environmentally controlled cleanrooms to customer's specific requirements and the development of the bespoke firmware, software and electronic hardware which comprise the controller that links the manufactured touch interactive overlays to a customer's integrated systems and product.
