("Modern Water" or "Company")

Issue of Shares

Following the announcement yesterday by DeepVerge PLC ("DeepVerge") that the recommended all share offer by DeepVerge for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Modern Water has been declared unconditional in all respects, Modern Water is issuing 32,000,000 Modern Water Shares to Dr Nigel Burton and Gerard Brandon pursuant to the terms of their director's service contracts.

As previously announced, under the terms of Dr Nigel Burton's service contract with Modern Water, he is entitled to receive his salary of GBP30,000 per annum for the two years from 20 February 2020 in Modern Water Shares at an issue price of 0.5 pence per Modern Water Share. Upon a change of control, these amounts fall due to be settled, to the extent not already settled, by the issue of 12,000,000 Modern Water Shares at an issue price of 0.5 pence per Modern Water Share. Similarly Gerard Brandon is entitled to receive his salary of GBP50,000 per annum for the two years from 4 March 2020 in Modern Water Shares at an issue price of 0.5 pence per Modern Water Share. Upon a change of control, these amounts fall due to be settled, to the extent not already settled, by the issue of 20,000,000 Modern Water Shares at an issue price of 0.5 pence per Modern Water Share.

Application will be made for the admission of 32,000,000 new Modern Water Shares to trading on AIM, and it is expected that dealings in the New Shares will commence on or around 13 November 2020. On admission the new Modern Water Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Modern Water Shares currently in issue.

Total Voting Rights

Following the admission of the New Shares as described above, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 556,693,214 Modern Water Shares, each with voting rights. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury.

The above figure of 556,693,214 may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
