Result of General Meeting

On 28 November 2017, Treatt, the manufacturer and supplier of innovative ingredient solutions for the flavour, fragrance, beverage and consumer products industries, announced the conditional placing of 5,265,500 new Placing Shares to raise approximately GBP21.6 million (before expenses). The Placing was subject to, inter alia, the approval by Shareholders of the Resolution at the General Meeting.

The Company is pleased to announce that at the General Meeting held earlier today, the Resolution was duly passed.

The proxy votes received in relation to the Resolution were as follows:

 
 Resolutions    Votes For    Votes Against   Votes at      Votes Withheld 
                                              Chairman's 
                                              Discretion 
-------------  -----------  --------------  ------------  --------------- 
 Resolution 
  1             25,782,729   82,649          302,910       10,377 
-------------  -----------  --------------  ------------  --------------- 
 

A copy of Resolution 1 will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.

The Placing remains conditional upon, inter alia, Admission becoming effective.

Application has been made for the 5,265,500 Placing Shares to be admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities. It is expected that Admission will become effective on 19 December 2017 and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence on that date.

The Placing Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other and with all other Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on the Ordinary Shares after Admission, including the final dividend of 3.35 pence per Ordinary Share declared by the Board of Treatt on 28 November 2017 in respect of the financial year ended 30 September 2017, subject to its approval by shareholders at the Company's annual general meeting on 26 January 2018.

Upon Admission, the Group's ordinary share capital as enlarged by the Placing will comprise 58,170,670 Ordinary Shares with one voting right per share. The number of shares held in the Company's Employee Benefit Trust and Treatt SIP Trustees Limited, under which voting rights are waived, is 645,383. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in Treatt upon Admission will be 57,525,287. This figure may be used by shareholders following Admission as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of Treatt under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook.

This announcement should be read in conjunction with the full text of the circular published by Treatt plc on 28 November 2017 (the "Circular"). A copy of the Circular is available for inspection on Treatt's website at: www.treatt.com.

Capitalised terms used in this announcement have the same meanings given to them in the Circular.
