AGM Statement

At the 2026 Annual General Meeting of the Group, to be held at 12.00 noon
later today, the Chairman, Robert B Horvath, will make the following
statement:

"Trading in the first five months of the financial year, together with the
current order book and sales pipeline, keeps us on track to meet full-year
market expectations. As outlined in my previous statements, we anticipate
delivering a significantly stronger operating performance in the current
financial year than we did last.

Our focus over the past six months has been on strengthening customer and
stakeholder relationships which is bearing fruit. A few examples of this
include:

·   Combining our established engineering and manufacturing capabilities
with the power converter expertise acquired through the former Martek
business, we have been invited to develop a new electronics and software
solution for one of our European rail customers.

·   The defence market for LPA has historically been accessed through our
value added distribution business but now with our ability to leverage
Group-wide capability we are developing our own products for the defence
market; including integrated product solutions of connectors and power
converters specifically for defence applications.

·   We have also proactively engaged with a broader range of our
shareholders who have significant investments in our shares. We have been
given very positive feedback from them on the changes made and strategy set
out by the Group over the past year; and especially over the successful
refinancing of the business."
