FLOWTECH FLUIDPOWER PLC

RESULT OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Flowtech Fluidpower plc ('the Company') held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) at 10.00 am today at the Company's Registered Office, and as a view-only virtual event via the Investor Meet Company platform (IMC).

All Resolutions, with the exception of Resolution 12 (a special resolution for the disapplication of pre-emption rights), as set out in the Notice of Meeting dated 19 May 2023, were duly passed. The Company also recognises that a large proportion of the votes were cast against Resolution 11 (an ordinary resolution to give authority to allot shares). Although Resolutions 11 and 12 were in line with the Investment Association's share capital management guidelines, the Board takes seriously its responsibilities to maintain a healthy dialogue with shareholders and will engage with them to better understand their views.

The AGM was compliant with legal requirements for the AGM in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association. It had the necessary quorum present and was purely functional and comprised only of the formal votes for each Resolution.

Shareholders were able to submit any questions regarding the business prior to the AGM via the Company website as detailed in the Notice of Meeting dated 19 May 2023. No questions relating to the Resolutions were submitted ahead of the AGM by shareholders via the Company investor website.

The table below shows the proxy position of all Resolutions:
