Share Buyback Programme Update & Notice of Results

Strix Group plc (AIM: KETL), the global leader in the design, manufacture and supply of kettle safety controls and other components and devices involving water heating and temperature control, steam management and water filtration, announces that the Group is pausing the share buyback programme launched on 4 February 2026.

As announced 19 December 2025, following consultation with investors regarding efficiently returning capital to shareholders as a result of the disposal of Billi (the "Disposal"), the Board launched a £10m share buyback programme and subsequently completed a £10m Tender Offer, as announced on the 5 May 2026, successfully returning further capital to shareholders.

At the time of the Disposal, the Board stated that some proceeds would be retained by the Group and used to make investments into strategic growth initiatives. With the successful completion of the Tender Offer and the appointment of Andy Rainforth as the Group's new CEO, the Board believes that a pausing of the share buyback programme is a prudent step as it assesses the Group's strategy going forward. The Group will announce a full capital allocation framework, which will include strategic investment growth opportunities, later in the financial year, as part of a wider strategic update.

Up until 9 July 2026, 8,930,325 ordinary shares have been purchased under the programme for an aggregate consideration of c.£3.7m, at an average price of c.41.2 pence per share.
