About this update from Melrose Industries Plc

Melrose Industries PLC (the "Company" or "Melrose Industries PLC")   1.   Results of Annual General Meeting   Melrose Industries PLC's shareholders today approved each of the resolutions put to the 2025 Annual General Meeting with the exception of Resolution 2 concerning the approval of the Directors' Remuneration Report, which was not passed.   While the Board is pleased that all other resolutions passed with large majorities, we are disappointed that Resolution 2 (an advisory vote) was not passed. The Company, and in particular the Board, takes this feedback very seriously and will continue to engage with shareholders and consider the feedback received. This will inform the Company's future approach to remuneration. We will publish an update on our engagement and any actions taken in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code within six months of the 2025 Annual General Meeting.   The tables below set out the results of the poll on all 18 resolutions that were put to a shareholder vote, with each shareholder present in person or by proxy being entitled to one vote per share held.   Ordinary Resolutions Resolutions Votes 'For'* % of Votes Cast 'For' Votes 'Against' % of Votes Cast 'Against' Total Issued Share Capital Voted Total % of Issued Share Capital Voted** Votes Withheld*** 1.   To receive the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 1,096,566,260 99.89 1,204,729 0.11 1,097,770,989 86.09% 6,232,918 2.   To approve the Directors' Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2024 317,489,188 34.37 606,304,819 65.63 923,794,007 72.44% 180,209,900 3.   To declare a final dividend of 4.0 pence per ordinary share for the year ended 31 December 2024 1,103,262,742 99.95 532,625 0.05 1,103,795,367 86.56% 208,540 4.   To re-elect Peter Dilnot as a Director of the Company 1,102,702,883 99.91 1,027,313 0.09 1,103,730,196 86.55% 273,711   5.   To re-elect Matthew Gregory as a Director of the Company 1,089,500,482 98.71 14,229,714 1.29 1,103,730,196 86.55% 273,711 6.   To re-elect David Lis as a Director of the Company 982,589,542 89.02 121,138,821 10.98 1,103,728,363 86.55% 275,543 7.   To re-elect Charlotte Twyning as a Director of the Company 1,043,093,404 94.51 60,636,565 5.49 1,103,729,969 86.55% 273,937 8.   To re-elect Heather Lawrence as a Director of the Company 1,097,647,473 99.45 6,081,332 0.55 1,103,728,805 86.55% 275,101 9.   To re-elect Gillian Elcock as a Director of the Company 1,067,186,794 96.69 36,542,440 3.31 1,103,729,234 86.55% 274,672 10.  To elect Chris Grigg as a Director of the Company 1,090,077,484 98.76 13,646,903 1.24 1,103,724,387 86.55% 279,529 11.  To elect Ian Barkshire as a Director of the Company 1,101,401,403 99.79 2,323,781 0.21 1,103,725,184 86.55% 278,723 12.  To re-appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditor of the Company 1,103,662,954 99.99 96,949 0.01 1,103,759,903 86.56% 244,004 13.  To authorise the Audit Committee to determine the auditor's remuneration 1,103,695,436 99.99 73,501 0.01 1,103,768,937 86.56% 234,970 14.  To renew the authority given to Directors to allot shares 1,067,463,594 97.28 29,895,453 2.72 1,097,359,047 86.05% 6,644,860     Special Resolutions Resolutions Votes 'For'* % of Votes Cast 'For' Votes 'Against' % of Votes Cast 'Against' Total Issued Share Capital Voted Total % of Issued Share Capital Voted**   Votes Withheld*** 15.  To give the Directors authority to allot equity securities without application of pre-emption rights 1,094,871,300 99.20 8,884,318 0.80 1,103,755,618 86.56% 248,288 16.  To give the Directors authority to allot equity securities used only for the purpose of financing a transaction which the Directors determine to be an acquisition or other capital investment 1,093,790,987 99.10 9,982,990 0.90 1,103,773,977 86.56% 229,929 17.  To authorise a market purchase of shares 1,081,426,455 98.19 19,928,049 1.81 1,101,354,504 86.37% 2,649,402 18.  To approve the calling of a general meeting other than an Annual General Meeting on no less than 14 days' notice 1,075,021,773 97.39 28,753,733 2.61 1,103,775,506 86.56% 228,401   As at 6:30pm (BST) on 28 April 2025 there were 1,275,197,565 Ordinary Shares of £0.001 in Melrose Industries PLC in issue (excluding treasury shares). *           Includes discretionary votes **          Excludes treasury shares ***        A vote 'Withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'For' or 'Against' a resolution. 2.   Resolutions submitted to National Storage Mechanism The Company has today submitted to the National Storage Mechanism copies of resolutions passed at the Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 30 April 2025 concerning items other than ordinary business.  These documents will shortly be available for inspection at: Melrose Industries PLC 11th Floor The Colmore Building 20 Colmore Circus Queensway Birmingham, B4 6AT   Enquiries: Investor Relations: Chris Dyett:                                                                             +44 (0) 7974 974 690, [email protected] Media: Andy Porter / Brunswick :                             +44 (0) 207 404 5959, [email protected]
