1 August 2024

Avon Technologies plc

("Avon" or the "Group")

 

Change of Company Name

The Group today confirms that Avon Protection plc has been renamed Avon
Technologies plc.

As announced at the Group's Capital Markets Day on 8 February 2024 and again
at the Group's Interim Results on 21 May 2024, the Board has chosen to change
the name of the holding company to Avon Technologies plc to improve clarity
and ensure there is no confusion between the Strategic Business Units ("SBUs")
and the wider Group.

This new name recognises Avon's heritage while embracing the next stage of its
development - accelerating growth through innovation in technology.

The two SBU names, Avon Protection and Team Wendy, remain unchanged.

The trading symbol ("AVON") and ISIN/SEDOL codes for the Company's ordinary
shares listed on the London Stock Exchange remain unchanged.

Shareholders should note that their shareholdings will be unaffected by the
change of name. All existing share certificates that are presently in the
hands of investors should be retained as they will remain valid for all
purposes and no new share certificates will be issued.

The Company's Legal Entity Identifier remains: 213800JM1AN62REBWA71
