("Amiad" or the "Company")

Related Party Transaction

Amiad (AIM: AFS), a leading global producer of water treatment and filtration solutions, announces that it has selected Rimoni Industries Ltd ("Rimoni"), a previous supplier to the Company, as an additional outsourced supplier of polymer injection services. Rimoni is controlled by FIMI Opportunity Funds ("FIMI"), which is a controlling shareholder of Amiad.

The majority of the Company's polymer injection moulding is performed in-house, with the support from outsourced suppliers varying on demand. As a result of capacity constraints at its regular outsourced supplier, the Company has selected Rimoni as an additional supplier. Rimoni is a large-scale manufacturer that specialises in precise injection moulding for a wide range of industries.

Amiad expects that the total value of services that could be purchased from Rimoni over the course of 2021 is up to US$500,000 (the "Rimoni Purchases"), however this could be exceeded. Rimoni Purchases are made with terms in line with standard market practice and have been at competitive prices compared with the Company's regular supplier.

As FIMI is a substantial shareholder (as defined in the AIM Rules) of the Company, the Rimoni Purchases are classified as related party transactions under the AIM Rules. The independent members of the Board consider, having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, Stifel Nicolaus Europe Limited, that the terms of the Rimoni Purchases are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned. In accordance with Israeli Companies Law, the Rimoni Purchases received the approval of the Audit Committee of the Board and the Board of Amiad, respectively.

To the extent the total value of Rimoni Purchases exceeds the above expected level, a further announcement will be made.
