AGM Statement

Hydro International plc (AIM: HYD), a leading provider of environmentally sustainable and innovative products for the control and treatment of water, will be holding its Annual General Meeting today at 12 noon at the Group's headquarters located at Shearwater House, Clevedon Hall Estate, Victoria Road, Clevedon, BS21 7RD. At the meeting, the Board will make the following update.

The trading environment, particularly in the UK construction sector, has remained challenging through the first quarter of 2013 and the Group's outlook, therefore, remains broadly unchanged from the view expressed in the 2012 Annual Report.

Looking forward, the Group is committed to investing in a broad range of improvements and initiatives that are expected to generate new and sustainable growth opportunities in the medium to long-term. In this regard, the Group was delighted to recently announce the appointment of Michael Jennings as Chief Executive Officer. Michael will take up his role on 22 July 2013, and his arrival signals a major strengthening of the Group's management talent.

The Group will release interim results for the six months' ending 30 June 2013 on Tuesday 3 September 2013.
