Result of General Meeting

Plexus Holdings PLC, the AIM quoted oil and gas engineering services business and owner of the proprietary POS-GRIP® friction-grip method of wellhead engineering, is pleased to announce that the resolution put to shareholders (the "Resolution") at the General Meeting of the Company held earlier today was passed unanimously on a show of hands without a poll of votes being demanded.

Following the passing of the Resolution, the Company will proceed with the proposed acquisition of 4,950,495 Ordinary Shares (the "Buyback Shares") beneficially held by LLC Gusar (OOO Gusar) Ltd ("Gusar"), by way of an off-market buyback at an aggregate price of £2,500,000 representing a price of 50.5 pence per Ordinary Share (the "Buyback").

As previously notified, following completion of the conditions in the Buyback Agreement, settlement of the Buyback is expected to occur within two business days.  Once settlement has occurred and the Buyback Shares have been transferred to the CREST account of the Company, the wellhead systems and associated equipment will be shipped to Gusar pursuant to the terms of the Equipment Supply Agreement.  The Company will provide shareholders with an update on progress with these matters in due course.

Further details of, inter alia, the background to and reasons for the Buyback are set out in the notification made by the Company on 14 January 2019, and in the circular which was posted to shareholders shortly thereafter. The circular is available on the Company's website at www.plexusplc.com.  Terms defined in the circular have the same meanings in this announcement.

NOTES:

AIM-traded oil and gas engineering services company Plexus (AIM: POS) is an IP-led company that has developed a range of products and applications based on its patent-protected POS-GRIP friction-grip technology.  Having proved the superior qualities of POS-GRIP within the jack-up wellhead exploration market through the sale of this business to FMC Technologies Limited ("FMCT"), a subsidiary of TechnipFMC (Paris:FTI, NYSE:FTI), in early 2018, the Company is now focused on establishing its technology and equipment in other markets including surface production, subsea and de-commissioning. 

Its suite of new products and applications includes: the Python™ Subsea Wellhead (a new standard for subsea wellheads - supported by BG, Royal Dutch Shell, Wintershall, Maersk, Total, Tullow Oil, eni, Senergy, and Oil States Industries Inc); the POS-SET™ Connector for the growing de-commissioning and abandonment market; HP/HT dual marine barrier risers which provide an efficient, safe and cost effective solution for use on jack-up rigs; an innovative HP/HT Tie-Back connector product; and a new Well Tree product.  Importantly, the Company has a Collaboration Agreement with TFMC, which provides a platform to seek to further develop and commercialise these and other applications utilising POS-GRIP technology.
