Amendment to Official List, Share Consolidation

and Total Voting Rights

Further to the approval by shareholders of the special dividend and associated share consolidation at Spirax‑Sarco Engineering plc's ("Company") AGM on 9th May 2013, the Company's share consolidation will become effective on Monday, 3rd June 2013, conditional upon admission of the new Ordinary shares to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange becoming effective.

The share consolidation will replace every 27 existing Ordinary shares of 25 pence each with 26 new Ordinary shares of 25^25/26 pence each. The Company's new Ordinary shares will be admitted to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and will commence trading on the London Stock Exchange at 8.00 am UK time on Monday, 3rd June 2013.

Prior to the share consolidation becoming effective, the Company's issued share capital was 78,260,499 Ordinary shares of 25 pence each. For the purposes of the Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the Company's issued share capital as at 8.00 am on 3rd June 2013 (the effective time of the share consolidation) will consist of 75,361,962 new Ordinary shares of 25^25/26 pence each.  As at 8.00 am on 3rd June 2013, the Company will hold no shares in treasury. 

The decrease in the issued share capital and total voting rights results from the consolidation of shares. 

The above figure of 75,361,962 total voting rights 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.

The timetable in relation to the special dividend and the share consolidation is as follows:

Record date for entitlement to the special dividend of 100.0p per existing Ordinary share and the share consolidation	5.00 pm on Friday, 31st May 2013
