The Board of Dyesol has made its decision based on strong investor interest from the USA, particularly after recently reporting progress of the DyeTec Solar joint venture. The company also notes that ADR pro- grammes have been shown to increase liquidity for ASX listed companies.

The number of per- sonnel working on the project will be increased from 30 to 50 and activity at the PV Accelerator Centre will be scaled up. The £11m project, whose initial development phase is due to be completed in June 2011, set out to develop the world’s first continuously manufactured dye sensitised photovoltaic product on steel for building applications. Over this period the partners have been supported by a £5m technology grant from the Welsh Assembly Government. http://www.dyesol.com
