Annual General Meeting 2020 - Change of Venue

Porvair plc ("Porvair", "the Group" or "the Company"), the specialist filtration and environmental technologies group, discloses the text of a Notice sent to its shareholders from the Company Secretary in relation to the AGM to be held on 21 April 2020.

"I wrote to you on 11 March 2020 with the Notice of Porvair plc's Annual General Meeting.  In view of the evolving Covid-19 situation the Board of Directors (the "Board") has decided to change the venue for the meeting. The new venue will be the offices of Porvair plc, 7 Regis Place, King's Lynn, PE30 2JN. All other details of the meeting remain unchanged including the time of 11.00 am on 21 April 2020.

The Board encourages shareholders to submit their proxies as early as possible, using the form sent on 11 March 2020. In the exceptional current circumstances, the Board considers the health of the Company's shareholders and its employees to be of paramount importance and asks shareholders not to attend the meeting in person.

The Annual General Meeting is an important event in the Company's corporate calendar. It provides the Board with an opportunity to engage with shareholders. The Company is not authorised under its articles to hold virtual or hybrid shareholder meetings but, to facilitate shareholder communication, the Annual General Meeting will be broadcast by conference call and the Board will provide an opportunity to listen to shareholders' views and answer questions on the call. Shareholders wishing to join the conference call should send an email to Chris Tyler at [email protected] by 6pm on 19 April 2020 to obtain the call in details. However, please be aware that attendance to the conference call will not constitute attendance at the meeting and so shareholders who attend the call and who wish to vote should submit their proxies in accordance with the timetable set out in the Notice of Meeting.

We appreciate that this is an unusual situation but we hope that you will understand our need to amend the arrangements."
