Yes it certainly moves around D/C but on a down trend recently.

Just added some more Stan.

Be careful D/C as it's Ex- divi tonight (so usually down on the Thur.) and the trend is down as I say.

Being sensible Stan. News could fall anytime :-))

Decent rise so far today.

Very nice 2517GEORGE. :-))

Not back in yet dc, btw George will do

Thanks GEORGE. Perhaps see if the rise continues first. :-))

@timkempster on advfn you have stated that @versarien has employed civil servants to perform sales,do you do any research at all or is it easier to just make things up. @MattWal79512221 &@PeterJVRS have nothing to do with sales other than assisting team in international things

I see Neil is watching the bulletin boards. :-))

Because you are trying to discredit the company and it’s employees in order to drive the SP down but the industry now knows who you are and your intentions.

None of them have anything to do with sales because there aren't any. Ricketts should be minded of the company rather than reading bulletin boards. As to Kerr, Head of Commercial, does he have friends n the Corleone family? The whole media circus is pathetic.

Don't address me cannot see what you have put.

IT - thoroughly agree with you, and along the lines of what i have been saying about NR for many a month
nevertheless, i am a happy holder and expect to stay that way

Buying interest appearing.

China Update
RNS
RNS Number : 2682G
Versarien PLC
05 November 2018

Versarien plc
("Versarien" or the "Company")
China Update
Versarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering group, is pleased to provide an update on the Company's activities in the People's Republic of China and specifically in Shandong Province.
Jinan Manufacturing LOI
As announced by the Company on 15 January 2018, Versarien entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") with the Shandong Institute of Industrial Technology Fund, Jinan Qing Na Material Technology Co Ltd and Jinan Innovation Zone Administrative Committee with the view to establishing the "China-UK Jinan Graphene Industrial Park" in the Jinan Innovation Zone, Shandong Province, China.
Detailed discussions with the various parties in Jinan are progressing and detailed consideration is being given as to how a Jinan facility would fit with the Company's overall China strategy. As previously reported, the Company has also established a wholly owned Hong Kong company which will be used as the platform for joint ventures in other Asian countries.
Framework Agreement with Qingdao MBC
Versarien is pleased to announce that on 4 November 2018 it signed a Framework Agreement with the Qingdao Municipal Bureau of Commerce ("Qingdao MBC") in Shandong Province, China, covering cooperation between the parties in the fields of graphene research, development and industrialisation, including the potential establishment of a graphene focussed operation in Qingdao for Versarien.
Qingdao, is a major city in Shandong Province, China, with a population of over nine million people. It is one of the major areas of graphite production in China and is developing as a Chinese centre of excellence for graphene, with an already established graphene industry innovation demonstration base.
The Framework Agreement with Qingdao MBC, which is not legally binding, covers the intended areas of cooperation between Versarien and the Qingdao MBC, which include:

· The parties intend to engage in mutually beneficial cooperation in the field of graphene development, research and industrialisation;
· Versarien will use Qingdao as one of the Company's principle places of business in China to develop the Company's Chinese market;
· Qingdao MBC will assist Versarien with establishing partnerships and business relationships with Chinese enterprises, including providing assistance in identifying any appropriate strategic investors; and
· Qingdao MBC will assist Versarien with the establishment of a China-based operating company in the form of a "Sino-foreign cooperative enterprise" or "Sino-foreign joint venture" (the "Venture"), which may include Qingdao MBC making capital contributions to the Venture.

Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: "We are making significant progress in developing our relationships in China, both with government bodies and industry. Our discussions in Jinan regarding establishing the "China-UK Jinan Graphene Industrial Park" continue to make good progress and I am pleased that we have signed another agreement in Shandong Province to progress our Chinese plans.
"As I stated in our annual results published in July 2018, the announcement of the LOI in Jian led to significant interest from other parties in China and resulted in possible links with another 23 cities or companies in China, a number which has since grown. We are conscious that we need to establish formal relationships with the most appropriate parties and in doing so we should seek to protect, as far as possible, the Company's IP as well as conclude the best deal for Versarien and its shareholders.
"I am delighted by the support we are receiving from the Chinese Government at all levels, together with the UK Department for International Trade and I look forward to making further announcements as our relationships in China progress and we enter into further agreements."

Versarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering group, is pleased to announce that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Tunghsu Optoelectronic Technology Ltd. ("Tunghsu Optoelectronic"), covering cooperation between the parties, particularly focused on graphene industrialisation.
Tunghsu Optoelectronic is one of the world's leading suppliers of optoelectronic display materials. It is currently the largest LCD glass substrate manufacturer in China and the fourth largest LCD glass substrate manufacturer in the world. In addition, Tunghsu Optoelectronic is engaged in other areas, including the manufacturing of new energy vehicles, the industrialisation and applications of graphene, as well as high-end equipment manufacturing. It is listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and is part of the wider Tunghsu Group, which has over 200 wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries, including three listed companies; Tunghsu Optoelectronic, Tunghsu Sky and Tungshu Challenge.
The MOU with Tunghsu Optoelectronic covers the intended areas of cooperation between the parties, which include:

· Jointly developing graphene-related projects including their operation and execution, industrialisation and promotion, leading to sales in China and global markets and exploring more widely products utilising graphene;

· Together with governmental agencies, academic institutions, and other relevant organisations, to set up a "Graphene Industry Research Institute" in China, to fund, accelerate and invest in the productisation and commercialisation of graphene application projects;

· To jointly establish a "Graphene Industry Fund" to promote and support the operation and execution of graphene industrialisation projects;

· To discuss mutual strategic investments for graphene-based projects, the forms of which will be agreed in future discussions. It is envisaged that Tunghsu will provide financial support as well as strategic support and in return Versarien will provide the required intellectual property to enable the industrialisation of graphene-based projects; and

· Focus technical collaboration on projects closely related to both parties' current areas of activity, such as high quality graphene manufacturing, photoelectric display materials, new energy vehicles, energy storage technologies, LED lighting systems, graphene thermal management materials, and flexible batteries.

The MOU is not exclusive and will allow Versarien to enter into further agreements with parties in China.

Lipeng Wang, Chairman and CEO of Tunghsu Optoelectronic, commented: "Versarien is a leading company and operator in the graphene field in the UK.

As one of the pioneers of China's graphene industry, Tunghsu Optoelectronic has strong industrial influence and execution ability in China and in Asia more widely. We look forward to working with them to progress the commercialisation of our graphene products.
"The relationship with Tunghsu Optoelectronic is complimentary to the others we have already entered into in China and those that are under discussion. We look forward to providing updates as the relationship progresses and announcing further agreements with both industrial and governmental parties in China."
