("Hunting" or the "Company")

Appointment of non-executive Director

Hunting PLC (LSE:HTG), the international energy services group, today announces the appointment of Stuart Brightman as a new independent, non-executive Director of the Company, with immediate effect.

Mr Brightman is a leading energy services executive having spent the majority of his career at TETRA Technologies Inc. ("TETRA"), Dresser Inc. and Cameron Iron Works.

During his time at TETRA, Mr Brightman held the position of Chief Operating Officer between 2005 and 2009, prior to his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, a position he held between 2009 and 2019, before his retirement from the business. As Chief Executive Officer, Mr Brightman repositioned TETRA's businesses to focus on higher return technologies and products, which included organic and acquisitive growth of its three core operating segments.

Mr Brightman began his career with Arthur Young & Co., a predecessor firm of Ernst & Young (EY).

Mr Brightman's appointment comes at a key time for Hunting, as the Company believes the global energy industry is at the start of a strong period of growth as energy security, oil and gas reserves depletion, low carbon energy transition and economic stability all form part of the dynamics of this important sector.

Mr Brightman joins the Board of Hunting with immediate effect, and will automatically retire and offer himself for re-appointment by shareholders at the Company's 2023 Annual General Meeting to be held on Wednesday 19 April 2023. Further, Mr Brightman will join all of the Board's Committees with immediate effect.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.13, Mr Brightman is also a non-executive Director of NexTier Oilfield Solutions Inc.
