MOU with Tunghsu Optoelectronic Technology
RNS
RNS Number : 5503G
Versarien PLC
07 November 2018

Versarien plc
("Versarien" or the "Company")
MOU with Tunghsu Optoelectronic Technology Ltd
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. China has a huge market potential for graphene industrialisation and commercialisation. As the leading enterprise in the graphene field in China, we are very pleased to work with Versarien to promote valuable collaboration and innovation, and ultimately achieve mutual sucess."

Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: "We are delighted to have entered into a formal collaboration with Tunghsu Optoelectronic. 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."

Taking them to watch the Arse? should of gone to a proper football club like you know who D/C 😎

They would fall asleep in two minutes Stan and perhaps walk out in less than ten minutes watching Burnley. VRS are out to impress, hence watching a first class team opposed to a going no where , third class team. :-))

Thank you to the posters below -

Well, I've finally got a reply from HMG:

"I can confirm we have two individuals seconded to Versarien and a third person seconded to Rolls Royce UK.
We are unable to provide you with the individual's name due to an absolute exemption under Section 40(2) of the Act."

So, there we have it. The government think that RR with tens of thousands of employees and billions of pounds of exports justifies the secondment of someone from the DTI. What does that say about the secondment of two senior figures to Versarien? That one fact alone is massive. I repeat MASSIVE!

Graphene Enhanced Aircraft Interior Parts
Versarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering group, is pleased to announce that it has received an order for the supply of Versarien's graphene nano platelets to a design and manufacturing company for use in fire retardant aircraft interior parts for a major global airline.

The order is for an initial 1 kg of the Company's graphene nano platelets and it is antipated that further orders will be received to fulfil the end-customers contract. The specific aircraft interior parts have gained the necessary certification from a USA-based, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified, fire testing laboratory.

Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: "We are very pleased to have received this order for our graphene nano platelets for an application that is in a new area for Versarien. This order demonstrates further industrial traction for using graphene in various applications. We look forward to working with this customer and with others to develop commercial products in the aircraft interior sector that could be enhanced by the use of graphene."

A lot of ABS Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is used is aircraft, which is fire retardant and flame resistant and heat. May be being mixed, which also reduces weight.
It is the plastic that you see round the windows etc. So the product has been cleared for aviation.

or get eaten by the rabbits and die

Cheer up. lol

He's not called Cynic for nothing is he D/C 😅

:-))

small acorns into mighty oak trees grow - in 100+ years! :-)

If this takes off, airlines, manufactures will be all over this. The fuel saving could be pretty substantial.

Versarien head honcho and major shareholder Neill Ricketts open’s the interview by showcasing the commercial opportunity in the Aim-listed graphene business. During the face to face with IG TV Jeremy Naylor, the CEO peruses the companies mission statement before highlighting the recent MOU signed with their Chinese partner.
Ricketts doesn’t pull any punches as he explained the companies model, patents, and scope in which Versarien offers potential, as shares trade strongly in the market. The CEO breaks down the number of associated partners which helps shorten the development curve, as the companies most senior director quickly reminds the audience, ” it’s exciting times in the graphene space ” VRS is not alone in this arena with partners complimenting the business, yet there are other less successful operations down the value chain.

Posted on another bb this evening by serratia - in response to critics arguing that VRS is overvalued when compared to its peers:


17 Nov '18 - 20:58 - 48686 of 48687

Someone kindly posted in one of those boxes in the header a few companies to compare.

Elcora M.Cap £5.9m but the auditor says they aren't a going concern so nothing to look at there.

XG Sciences built a large plant and can't make the sales to fill it. Now in a difficult financial position. By the look of their last fundraising they seem to value themselves at around £50m. Large losses.

Nanoxplore M.Cap £66.5m Sales £4.6m, wages £3.7m loss £2.6m

Talga M.Cap £56m, no sales ,loss £5.6m These guys make VRS look very under valued.

First Graphene M.Cap £37m no sales £4m loss. Directors pay themselves so much the share holders vote heavily against their pay. Look to be working more in their own interests than the share holders. VRS only worth 5* this company that has no sales.

VRS looks undervalued against this peer group.
