("Amiad" or "the Company")

Result of EGM and Appointment of New Non-Executive Director

Amiad Water Systems Ltd. (AIM: AFS), a leading global producer of water treatment and filtration solutions, announces that at the Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") of the Company held earlier today, resolutions 1 to 5, 7 and 8 were duly passed, including the resolution appointing Mr. Derek Zissman as a non-executive director of the Company.

Whilst resolution 6 concerning the approval of a change in the terms of remuneration of Dr. Eli Opper, the Chairman of the Company, so as to include a three month advance notice period was supported by shareholders, due to the requirements of Israeli law, this proposal will only be validly passed if confirmed by a further resolution of shareholders at either the next annual general meeting or (if earlier) an extraordinary general meeting of the Company.

Mr. Zissman, based in the UK, will serve as a statutory external director of the Company, as required under Israeli law, for a period commencing on 3 March 2015 and expiring on 2 March 2018.

Eli Opper, Chairman of Amiad, said: "We are delighted to welcome DerekZissman to the Board of Amiad. The extensive breadth and depth of his experience in the capital markets will be of great benefit to Amiad and we look forward leveraging his expertise. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Michael Rosenberg, who will retire as a director on 2 March 2015, for all his hard work on behalf of Amiad. Michael joined the Board at the time of the Company's IPO in 2005 and has made an outstanding contribution to the Company's development since then."

Mr. Zissman, aged 70 and a Chartered Accountant, has over 45 years' experience in the capital markets in the UK. He joined KPMG UK ("KPMG") in 1971 and was promoted to Partner within five years - a position he held for over 30 years. During his time at KPMG, Mr. Zissman was a founding Partner of the UK's Corporate Finance Group and the Private Equity Group in the UK and US. Following his retirement in March 2008, he has held Directorships at Alchemy Partners, Barclays Wealth & Investment Management and Seymour Pierce. He is a current Director and member of the Audit Committee at a number of companies operating in the IT, leisure transportation and engineering sectors, including AIM-listed The 600 Group PLC.

Other than set out below, there are no other matters required to be disclosed pursuant to paragraph (g) of Schedule Two to the AIM Rules for Companies as regards Mr Zissman's appointment.
