Result of General Meeting
Modern Water Plc (AIM: MWG), the pioneering and innovative technology company specialising in membrane water treatment solutions and advanced monitoring products, announces that at its General Meeting held earlier today, all Resolutions were duly passed.
Application has been made to London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares, the Placing Fee Shares and the Retainer Fee Shares ("New Ordinary Shares") to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is anticipated that trading in the New Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on or around 17 February 2020. The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the Existing Ordinary Shares.
Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 502,693,214 Ordinary Shares with voting rights. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury.

At the General Meeting, Simon Humphrey, confirmed that:
"The Board is optimistic about the Company's prospects, and with the anticipated growth made possible by the placing proceeds as well as cost reductions, expects the Company to be cash break even in due course."
