Notice of Change of Location and Time of Day of Annual General Meeting

To Be Held May 5, 2020

We are providing this notice to shareholders of Pentair plc regarding our Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. As previously announced, the meeting will be held on May 5, 2020; however, we are changing the location and time of day of the meeting, including the location for participation by shareholders in Ireland and certain voting deadlines, as set forth below. We have determined to make these changes in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and to support the health of our shareholders, employees and communities. In light of these public health concerns, we urge shareholders to consider carefully whether to attend the meeting in person. As always, and especially in the current circumstances, we encourage shareholders to vote your shares by proxy in advance of the meeting to ensure that your shares are represented at the meeting.

Updated Annual General Meeting Information

Date (unchanged): May 5, 2020

Location: Pentair plc’s White Bear Lake Manufacturing Facility, 1350 Hammond Road, White Bear Lake, MN 55110 USA

Deadlines for voting by proxy and changing or revoking a proxy: As a result of the change in time of day of the meeting, we are also changing the deadlines for voting by proxy and changing or revoking a proxy. Please see the “Updated Questions and Answers About the Annual General Meeting and Voting” on the reverse side of this notice for the updated deadlines.

In addition to the updates described above, we advise shareholders that we intend to follow an abbreviated meeting format. Among other things, we intend to keep the meeting as brief as possible, we expect only a limited number of representatives of Pentair to attend the meeting, we will not provide any refreshments, and we will follow social distancing. We expect that one or more representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP will be present or available by audio link at the Annual General Meeting.

We have updated three questions and answers included in our proxy statement to reflect the foregoing updates – see “Updated Questions and Answers About the Annual General Meeting and Voting” on the reverse side of this notice.

Additional Information

As described in the proxy statement that was previously distributed, only shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 6, 2020 are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual General Meeting. Additional information about the meeting, including information about the agenda items for the meeting and how to vote by proxy, are included in the proxy statement.

We will consider any proxy received to constitute a proxy for use at the meeting held in accordance with the updated location and time of day listed above. Information about how you can change your vote or revoke your proxy is included in the “Updated Questions and Answers About the Annual General Meeting and Voting” on the reverse side of this notice.

In the event that a further change of venue arises due to public health recommendations regarding containment of COVID-19, which may include the closure of or restrictions on access to the meeting venue, we will communicate this to shareholders by an announcement, which will be published on the Investor Relations page of our website at www.pentair.com/investor-relations. We advise shareholders to monitor the Investor Relations page regularly, as circumstances may change at short notice and we recommend that shareholders keep up-to-date with relevant health authority guidance regarding travel, self-isolation and health and safety precautions.

May I change or revoke my proxy?

If you are a shareholder of record and have already voted, you may change or revoke your proxy before it is exercised at the Annual General Meeting in the following ways:

► By voting by Internet or telephone at a date later than your previous vote but prior to the voting deadline (which is 8:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time on May 3, 2020);

► By mailing a proxy card that is properly signed and dated later than your previous vote and that is received by us prior to the voting deadline (which is 8:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time on May 3, 2020); or

► By attending the Annual General Meeting and voting in person, although attendance at the Annual General Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy.

If you are a beneficial owner, you must contact the record holder of your shares to revoke a previously authorized proxy or voting instructions.
