Amendment to Official List, Share Consolidation
and Total Voting Rights
Further to the approval by shareholders of the special dividend and associated share consolidation at SpiraxSarco Engineering plc's ("Company") AGM on 11th May 2015, the Company's share consolidation will become effective on Monday, 15th June 2015. 
The share consolidation will replace every 28 existing Ordinary shares of 2525/26 pence each with 27 new Ordinary shares of 2612/13 pence each. The Company's new Ordinary shares will be amended on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and will commence trading on the London Stock Exchange at 8.00 am UK time on Monday, 15th June 2015. 
Prior to the share consolidation becoming effective, the Company's issued share capital was 75,952,744 Ordinary shares of 2525/26 pence each. For the purposes of the Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the Company's issued share capital as at 8.00 am on 15th June 2015 (the effective time of the share consolidation) will consist of 73,240,146 new Ordinary shares of 2612/13 pence each. As at the same date and time, the Company will hold no shares in treasury.
The decrease in the issued share capital and total voting rights results from the consolidation of shares. 
The above figure of 73,240,146 total voting rights may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine (if they are required to notify) their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
