Results of Annual General Meeting

Porvair plc, the specialist filtration, laboratory and environmental
technology group, announces that its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held at
11.00am on 14 April 2026 at the offices of Peel Hunt LLP, 100 Liverpool
Street, London, EC2M 2AT, was successfully concluded.

The results of the poll show that all ordinary resolutions proposed at the AGM
were duly passed. Special resolutions 13 to 16 were not passed, and
accordingly, the authorities and matters contemplated by those resolutions
will not be implemented.

In addition, the Board notes that while resolutions 8 and 12 were passed with
the requisite majority, each of these resolutions received less than 80% of
the votes in favour. Porvair will continue an open and transparent dialogue
with those shareholders who voted against resolutions 8 and 12 to 16 to
understand their specific concerns. In accordance with the UK Corporate
Governance Code, the Company will publish a further statement detailing the
outcome of its shareholder engagement in relation to these resolutions,
including any actions taken as a result, within six months of the AGM. It will
also publish a final summary, together with any further steps, in its next
Annual Report & Accounts.

An analysis of the voting will also be available in the AGM section of the
Porvair website.
