Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ Global Select Market: CWCO), a leading designer, builder and operator of advanced water supply and treatment plants, announced today that its 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) scheduled for and convened on May 28, 2024 has been partially adjourned for the purpose of soliciting additional votes with respect to Proposal 1, the proposal to vote on the election of eight director nominees, as set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 18, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”).

A quorum was present at the Annual Meeting, and Proposal 2 (the advisory vote on executive compensation) and Proposal 3 (the ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024), set forth in the Proxy Statement, received the requisite votes for approval.

The Annual Meeting will be reconvened solely with respect to Proposal 1 on June 24, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. Cayman Islands time (10:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time) and will be held at the office of Aquilex, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), 5810 Coral Ridge Drive, Suite 220, Coral Springs, FL 33076.

The record date for determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the reconvened Annual Meeting remains the close of business on March 28, 2024. Any proxies previously submitted by such holders with respect to Proposal 1 will continue to be counted.

Shareholders as of the close of business on March 28, 2024, the record date for the Annual Meeting, are encouraged to vote “FOR ALL” directors as soon as possible. Shareholders who previously voted to “withhold” their vote on Proposal 1 may change that vote simply by voting again TODAY. Only your latest-dated vote will count!
