AGM Post-Meeting Shareholder Engagement Update

8 December 2025

In accordance with Provision 4 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, Oxford
Nanopore Technologies plc (LSE: ONT) is providing an update to the statements
made on 4 June 2025 in relation to the voting outcome of Resolution 12 at its
2025 Annual General Meeting ("AGM").

Following the AGM, the Company has undertaken an engagement exercise and
invited feedback from its major shareholders to understand why certain
shareholders were unable to support the resolution. The Board is grateful to
those shareholders who engaged with this process.

Feedback received from shareholders has been consistent with the Board's focus
on maximising the long-term potential of Oxford Nanopore. As previously
announced, the Company continues to refine its strategic planning process to
ensure it prioritises and executes on high-priority opportunities that best
leverage the unique capabilities of Oxford Nanopore's technology. This will
enable the Company to focus resources where it can create the greatest
long-term value for stakeholders.

The appointment of Francis Van Parys as Chief Executive Officer brings
extensive experience in scaling life-sciences businesses. Francis will lead
the next phase of the commercial strategy and will work closely with the Board
to deepen and strengthen the broader capability set across the management team
to support the next phase of growth and deliver long-term value for all
stakeholders.
