You are receiving a proxy statement and proxy card from us because you own ordinary shares of Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited. This proxy statement describes issues on which we would like you, as a shareholder, to vote. It also gives you information on these issues so that you can make an informed decision.

When you sign the proxy card, you appoint T.C. Leung and Jerry Wong as your representatives at the meeting. T.C. Leung and Jerry Wong will vote your shares, as you have instructed them in the proxy card, at the meeting. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the annual meeting. Even if you plan to attend the meeting, it is a good idea to complete, sign and return your proxy card in advance of the meeting just in case your plans change.

If you have signed and returned the proxy card and certain issues come up for a vote at the meeting that is not identified on the proxy card, T.C. Leung and Jerry Wong will vote your shares, under your proxy, in accordance with their best judgment.

A:	You are being asked to vote on the election of seven members to the Company’s Board of Directors and a proposal to adjourn the annual meeting under certain circumstances in the discretion of the Company’s management. We have described all of these matters more fully below in this proxy statement.

You may vote either by mail or in person at the annual meeting. To vote by mail, complete and sign the enclosed proxy card and mail it in the enclosed, prepaid addressed envelope. If you mark your proxy card to indicate how you want your shares voted on each proposal, your shares will be voted as you instruct.

If you want to vote in person, please come to the meeting. We will be passing out written ballots to anyone who wants to vote at the meeting. Please note, however, that if your shares are held in the name of your broker (or in what is usually referred to as “street name”), you will need to arrange to obtain a proxy card from your broker in order to vote in person at the meeting.

We provide each brokerage firm listed in our records as an owner of our ordinary shares with a sufficient number of copies of this proxy statement and annual report so that the brokerage firm can forward copies to the actual owners of the shares. If you received this proxy statement from your broker, your broker should have provided you with instructions for giving your broker directions as to how to vote your shares. It will then be your broker’s responsibility to vote your shares for you in the manner you direct.

We encourage you to provide directions to your broker as to how you want he or she to vote your shares on each of the matters to be brought before the annual meeting. You should do this by very carefully following the instructions your broker gives you concerning your broker’s procedures. This ensures that your shares will be voted at the meeting.

If you hold your shares in your own name, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the meeting. You may do this by:

- signing another proxy with a later date and returning that proxy to the Company,

- sending notice to the Company that you are revoking your proxy, or voting in person at the annual meeting.

You should send any later dated proxy or notice of revocation to: Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited, c/o Euro Tech (Far East) Ltd., Unit D, 18/F Gee Chang Hong Centre, 65 Wong Chuk Hong Road, Hong Kong SAR, China, Attention: Jerry Wong, Secretary.

If you hold your shares in the name of your broker, you will need to contact your broker to revoke your proxy.

A majority of the shares that were outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date must be present in person or by proxy at the meeting in order to hold the meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum.

Shares are counted as present at the meeting if the shareholder either:

- is present and votes in person at the meeting,

- or has properly submitted a signed proxy form or other proxy.

Abstentions will be counted as present at the meeting. If a brokerage firm indicates that it does not have authority to vote any of the shares held in its name on a particular proposal, then those shares will not be considered “entitled to vote” and will not be counted as present for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum for consideration of that proposal.

A:	You may vote “for,” “withhold authority” to vote for all director nominees as a group, or to vote for all director nominees except those you specify, as to the election of directors. You may vote “for,” “against,” or “abstain” on the proposal to adjourn the annual meeting.

A:	For each director nominee to be elected to the Board of Directors, each director nominee must receive the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes of the shares entitled to vote, were voted and did not withhold authority.

We will announce preliminary voting results at the meeting. We will file a Report on Form 6-K to announce the results. We will file that report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and you can get a copy by contacting the SEC or through the SEC’s EDGAR system on its home page at www.sec.gov.

The Company will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to solicitations by mail, officers, directors, or employees of the Company or its subsidiaries may solicit proxies in person or by telephone. These persons will not receive any special or additional compensation for soliciting proxies. The Company also reimburses brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to shareholders.

At the annual meeting, seven directors will be elected to serve until the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until each of their respective successors has been duly elected and qualified as provided in the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Unless otherwise indicated on the proxy, votes pursuant to the accompanying proxy will be cast for the election of the nominees on the proxy, provided that, if any of the nominees named below shall become unavailable to serve as a director prior to the meeting have previously been represented by valid proxies shall be voted for the election of such other person as the Board may recommend in his or her place, or the number of directors to be elected shall be decreased. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve.

T.C. Leung, Jerry Wong, Alex Sham, Y.K. Liang, Fu Ming Chen, Janet Cheang and David YL Leung have been nominated for election to the Board of Directors and each has consented to serve as such, if elected. All of the nominees who have been nominated for election as a director commencing at the conclusion of the annual meeting, except for Ms. Janet Cheang, have previously been elected as a director. In order to be elected, each such nominee must receive the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes of the shares entitled to vote thereon and were voted and not withholding authority.

In the event that the number of shares present, in a person or by proxy, at the annual meeting is insufficient to constitute a quorum or to approve any of the matters identified in the notice of meeting for the annual meeting, the Board of Directors may decide to adjourn the annual meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. If the annual meeting is adjourned, no further notice of the time and place of the adjourned meeting is required to be given to the Company’s shareholders other than an announcement of such time and place at the annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than 30 days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, written notice of the place, date, and time of the adjourned meeting will be given.

If the annual meeting is postponed or adjourned, at any subsequent reconvening of the annual meeting, all proxies will be voted in the same manner as such proxies would have been voted at the original convening of the annual meeting (except for any proxies which have theretofore effectively been revoked or withdrawn). In the event that proxies are voted to adjourn the annual meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy form will not vote the shares represented by such proxies for or against any proposal introduced by management at any adjournment of the meeting, other than the proposals identified in the notice of meeting included with this proxy statement, without first re-soliciting proxies to vote on such proposals.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “for” the proposal to adjourn the meeting. The affirmative vote of a simple majority of the vote of the shares entitled to vote, were voted and did not abstain is required to approve this proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted as entitled to vote and thus not count for purposes of determining whether or not a quorum is present on this matter. So long as a quorum is present, broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. All proxies will be voted “for” approval of this proposal unless a shareholder specifies to the contrary on such shareholder’s proxy.

In order to allow the Company’s management to vote proxies received by the Company at the time of the annual meeting in favor of such an adjournment under the circumstances described above, the Company has submitted the question of adjournment as a separate matter for the consideration of vote of the shareholders.

Any shareholder proposals intended to be considered for presentation at the 2021 annual meeting and for inclusion in the 2021 proxy statement must be made in writing and received by the Corporate Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices by March 30, 2022. The Company will consider only proposals it deems lawful and reasonable. Shareholders are urged to review all applicable laws, rules and, if questions arise, consult their own legal counsel before submitted a proposal to the Company.

Recommendations by shareholders for directors to be nominated at the 2021 annual meeting must be made in writing, with sufficient biographical and other relevant information such that an informed judgment as to the proposed nominee’s qualifications can be made and be accompanied by a notarized written consent to be named in the Proxy Statement, if nominated, and to serve as a director, if elected, executed by the proposed nominee. Recommendations received in proper order by the Corporate Secretary at the Company’s principal executive office at least four months prior to the 2021 annual meeting will be referred to, and considered by, the Company’s Board of Directors. No shareholder recommendations were received before the 2021 annual meeting.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries, and a company that the Company owns a 20% interest in, are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F which are being delivered to you with this Proxy Statement.
