2025 BUSINESS AND PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

Despite external pressures during the year, including exchange rate volatility, we delivered sales growth, excluding Luxfer Graphic Arts which was sold in July 2025, while maintaining strong profitability and a consistently low operating leverage. We also continued to return meaningful capital to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. Our Graphic Arts business was successfully divested in July 2025, having previously been identified during our enhanced strategic review in late 2023. This has enabled us to streamline our portfolio and concentrate on higher-margin opportunities. We have continued advancing our optimization initiatives which are designed to streamline the footprint, simplify operations, and enhance long-term efficiency within the business. Specific highlights of 2025 included increased demand for our Magtech Solutions’ products, enabling the business to deliver record volume levels and sustained momentum in defense and aerospace in the Elektron businesses. Within Gas Cylinders, the businesses benefited from improved activity in higher-margin specialty industrial applications, which helped offset continued softness in clean energy and variability in healthcare. Overall, 2025 demonstrated our ability to execute, manage the portfolio effectively, and enhance earnings quality and profitability, reinforcing again the strength of our core operations and value-creation strategy.

The Company wishes to highlight the following Board transitions, which occurred in fiscal year 2025:

Stewart Watson was appointed as a Non-Executive Director effective September 1, 2025. Mr. Watson was identified as a potential new Director due largely to his expertise in strategic planning, operational transformation, international business leadership, and mergers and acquisitions execution in the aerospace and defense industry. He also serves as a member of the Luxfer’s Nominating & Governance Committee and the Audit Committee.

2026 PROXY STATEMENT

The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that when a director attains the age of 73, and/or has served on the Board for nine years, the director is expected to offer to resign from the Board. Any resignation would be reviewed by the Nominating and Governance Committee for the consideration of the Board. Consistent with this policy, Richard Hipple tendered a letter offering his resignation upon reaching age 73 and Clive Snowdon tendered a letter offering his resignation as he will have served on the Board for nine years and will have reached the age of 73 by the 2026 AGM.

The Board reviewed both Richard Hipple’s and Clive Snowdon’s resignations, in consideration of the Company’s overall Board composition and succession planning. After consideration, the Board determined not to accept either resignation at this time. In reaching its conclusion, the Board considered, among other factors, their expertise, history with and contributions to the Board, as well as their ongoing participation in initiatives coming out of our strategic review announced in 2023, including the continued evaluation of strategic options to create additional shareholder value.

The Board does not view the retirement age guideline or length of service guideline as a mandatory requirement, but rather as a mechanism to facilitate thoughtful Board refreshment and succession planning on an ongoing basis in accordance with Luxfer’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and in the best interest of the company and its stakeholders.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION HIGHLIGHTS

Our executive compensation program is designed to motivate behaviors that cultivate sustainable growth and shareholder value creation, provide rewards commensurate with individual and Company performance, reward executives for achieving financial and strategic objectives, and provide an appropriate balance between short-term and long-term and fixed and variable or at-risk pay. A substantial portion of our Named Executive Officers’ compensation is variable or at-risk and contingent on performance. In designing our executive compensation program, establishing performance measures, and setting executive compensation packages, we conduct benchmarking analyses, no less frequently than every three years but oftentimes annually, to ensure compensation is competitive with market practices. Total compensation packages, as well as base salary, annual cash incentive opportunities, and target equity awards, are evaluated against compensation levels at our comparative peer group companies. While target incentive opportunities are set by reference to a comparable market rate, our incentive plans provide for payouts to be based upon performance, which can result in payouts above or below target levels. Our compensation programs are designed to provide an appropriate balance of short and long-term compensation, fixed and variable or at-risk pay, and cash and equity-based compensation, as well as reflect our philosophy of providing pay for performance.

____________ (1) Reflects the compensation earned by the Named Executive Officers in 2025, as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table on page 79, except with respect to the annual cash incentive, which reflects the target cash incentive applicable to each Named Executive Officer. Reference to the target cash incentive, rather than the cash incentive earned in 2025, more accurately depicts the intended 2025 executive compensation structure. (2) Calculated as an average of the compensation earned by Stephen Webster, Howard Mead, Jeffrey Moorefield, and Graham Wardlow in 2025, as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table on page 79, except with respect to the annual cash incentive, which reflects the target cash incentive applicable to each Named Executive Officer. Reference to the target cash incentive, rather than the cash incentive earned in 2025, more accurately depicts the intended 2025 executive compensation structure.

The CEO has a larger proportion of their compensation as variable or at-risk as their compensation is heavily weighted towards Company performance. The other named executive officers still have over 40% of their compensation aligned to Company performance. The value of time-based equity awards are dependent on the Company’s share price while the number of performance-based share awards are based on certain EPS growth metrics and relative total shareholder return when compared to the Company’s peer group.

These Executive Compensation Highlights should be read in connection with the executive compensation information included in this Proxy Statement, including the sections entitled “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Executive Compensation Tables” on pages 50 through 85.
