Further re: Working capital update and funding discussions

For immediate release

10 July 2019

Further to the Board's announcement of 7 June 2019, Modern Water, the owner of world-leading technologies for water and wastewater treatment and for water quality monitoring, announces a further update in relation to its funding discussions and working capital position.

The Board is continuing to manage its working capital carefully with the business being funded using extended credit lines alongside increased eorts to convert debtors to cash. Whilst this may be sustainable in the short term, it is important that significant additional funding is secured in the near term in order to provide a sustainable basis on which to continue to operate the Group.

The Company continues to explore various options to raise additional capital for the Company and remains in discussions with potential funding parties. It is possible that none of the options being explored by the Board may come to fruition on an acceptable or timely basis or at all, but the Board believes these options to be viable and a further update will be made as appropriate.

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014.
