Commencement of share buyback programme

7 April 2025

As announced at the Company's preliminary full year results on 11 March 2025, Rotork plc ('Rotork' or the 'Company') remains a highly cash generative business with considerable financial flexibility. Consistent with our stated capital allocation policy, the Board has decided to return cash to shareholders while retaining a strong balance sheet. As a result, Rotork is commencing a share buyback programme (the 'Programme') to repurchase ordinary shares of 0.5 pence each in the capital of the Company ('Ordinary Shares'). The aggregate purchase price of all Ordinary Shares acquired under the Programme will be no more than £50 million (excluding stamp duty and expenses). Any Ordinary Shares purchased by the Company will be cancelled. Our financial flexibility enables us to pursue strategic investments and we remain active in looking for suitable opportunities, consistent with our Growth+ strategy.

The first tranche of the Programme will be carried out through an irrevocable non-discretionary agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities plc ('JPM'), pursuant to which JPM shall purchase Ordinary Shares as riskless principal (and not as agent of Rotork) for the subsequent sale on to, and purchase by, Rotork. The first tranche of the Programme will run from 7 April 2025 and end no later than 30 May 2025. The aggregate purchase price of all Ordinary Shares acquired under the first tranche of the Programme will be no greater than £10 million (excluding stamp duty and expenses). Any purchases under the Programme will take place in accordance with (and subject to the limits prescribed by) the Company's general authority to repurchase Ordinary Shares granted at the Company's 2024 Annual General Meeting (the '2024 Authority') and any subsequent authority granted at the Company's next Annual General Meeting on 2 May 2025. The maximum number of Ordinary Shares that the Company remains authorised to purchase under the 2024 Authority is 73,741,892 Ordinary Shares. JPM will make its trading decisions in relation to the Ordinary Shares independently of, and uninfluenced by, the Company.

Any purchase of Ordinary Shares under the first tranche of the Programme will be carried out on the London Stock Exchange and CBOE Europe Limited, in accordance with pre-set parameters and in accordance with (and subject to limits prescribed by) the Company's general authority to repurchase Ordinary Shares granted by its shareholders at its 2024 Annual General Meeting (or, if applicable, its 2025 Annual General Meeting), Chapter 9 of the UK Financial Conduct Authority's UK Listing Rules, Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 (as incorporated into UK domestic law by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018) and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (as incorporated into UK domestic law by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018). Rotork will announce any market repurchases of Ordinary Shares no later than 7.30 a.m. on the business day following the calendar day on which the repurchase occurred.
