HALMA PLC - EXECUTIVE BOARD CHANGES

Appointment of Sector Chief Executives

Halma plc, the global group of life-saving technology companies focused on
growing a safer, cleaner, healthier future for everyone, every day, today
announces a change in its Sector Chief Executive leadership.

Constance Baroudel, Environmental & Analysis Sector Chief Executive, will
leave Halma at the end of August 2026 to become Chief Executive of Spectris
Ltd. Ensuring an orderly transition, she will be succeeded by Steve Brown,
currently Healthcare Sector Chief Executive, from 1 September 2026.

As part of this succession, Bill Stoval, currently a Healthcare Sector
Divisional Chief Executive, will be promoted to Healthcare Sector Chief
Executive, and become a member of our Executive Board.

Constance Baroudel, Environmental & Analysis Sector Chief Executive said:
"After eight incredibly fulfilling years at Halma, this is the right moment
for me to take on a new leadership challenge. Halma has played a defining role
in my career development, giving me the opportunity to grow across a range of
leadership roles and to work alongside outstanding companies and colleagues,
whom I would like to thank for their dedication and companionship. I am
immensely proud of what we have achieved together and remain fully committed
to ensuring a smooth and effective handover over the coming months."

Marc Ronchetti, Group Chief Executive, said: "Constance has made an
exceptional contribution to Halma in her eight years with the Group and we are
grateful for her dedication and impact. I would like to thank her for her
partnership and support, and wish her all the best in her new role at
Spectris.

I am delighted to appoint Steve and Bill as Sector Chief Executives for
Environmental & Analysis and Healthcare, respectively. These changes
clearly demonstrate the strength of Halma's succession planning and the depth
of leadership talent within the Group.

Steve brings a strong leadership track record and deep experience of Halma's
Sustainable Growth Model and culture. He has a proven ability to build close
partnerships with our companies across all three sectors, including as a
Divisional Chief Executive in the Environmental & Analysis Sector.

Bill's promotion reflects his outstanding leadership within our Healthcare
Sector over the last seven years. He has delivered sustainable growth through
close collaboration with our companies' leadership teams and through
value-accretive acquisitions. His understanding of Halma's purpose-led culture
and organisational model make him exceptionally well placed to lead the sector
through its next phase of growth."
