RESULTS OF GENERAL MEETING

COMPLETION OF PLACING TO RAISE £10 MILLION

Modern Water plc (LSE: MWG) is pleased to announce that in connection with the Placing announced by the Company on 12 February 2013, the resolutions put to shareholders at today's General Meeting were duly passed.

Following the passing of the resolutions at the General Meeting, 20,000,000 new Ordinary Shares have been allotted to existing and new investors, conditional upon the admission of such Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM. It is expected that settlement will occur, admission to trading on AIM will become effective and dealings will commence in respect of 1,580,050 new Ordinary Shares at 8am on 1 March 2013. It is then expected that settlement will occur, admission to trading on AIM will become effective and dealings will commence in respect of 18,419,950 new Ordinary Shares at 8am on 4 March 2013.

Following admission of the 20,000,000 new Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM, the total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights in issue will be 79,505,256 and this figure 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.

Upon admission, the new Ordinary Shares will be issued, credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company.

Neil McDougall, Executive Chairman of Modern Water, commented:

"The Placing marks exciting progress for Modern Water and we are delighted by the support shown by existing and new shareholders, demonstrated by the oversubscription of the Placing. This is an encouraging vote of confidence in Modern Water. We intend to use the funds to invest further to accelerate the growth in our Membrane Processes division and also to expand the Monitoring division. In particular, we will focus on our core target markets of China and the Middle East."
