Qatar Project Update

This year has been a period of necessary and successful integration of Modern Water technologies with those of Microsaic Systems. We are pleased that the reset and investment in our new business model is producing successful results that are starting to come to fruition. Building on current sales and projects we have good and complementary technologies that the Company intends to bring into the wider and large potential market. We believe 2025 will be an exciting and groundbreaking year for the Company. We intend to position ourselves for growth and ensure that we can successfully exploit the wide ranging opportunities available to us.

The Company has agreed with Avanceon, its main contractor partner in Qatar, that supply of the remaining of associated supplies for the Continuous Toxic Measuring equipment will be delivered in December 2024 for final commissioning of the project as planned. Accordingly it has been agreed that the entire first tranche invoice of Eur228k will now be paid by Avanceon to the Company in December 2024. After final commissioning of the project the Company expects to discuss the potential of additional related equipment and supplies with Avanceon for wider application throughout Qatar.

Change of name to Metir plc

The Board is pleased to announce that the resolution to change the Company's name to Metir plc passed its shareholder vote. The Company has applied to Companies House with regards to the name change and, in addition, the Company expects to change its ticker. A further announcement will be made when the timing of the name and ticker change will become formally effective.

All other Company details including the ISIN and SEDOL will remain unchanged. Shareholders are unaffected by the changes and existing share certificates will remain valid and should be retained.
