nVent Electric plc (“we”, “us”, or “our”) intends to hold its first Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on May 10, 2019, at a time and location to be specified in our proxy statement related to the Annual Meeting.

Under the proxy rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we have set March 11, 2019 as the deadline for submitting a shareholder proposal for inclusion in our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8. Any such proposal must meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14a-8, and be received by our Corporate Secretary no later than March 11, 2019 for such proposal to be eligible for inclusion in our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting.

Eligible shareholders may under certain circumstances be able to nominate and include in our proxy materials a specified number of candidates for election as directors under the proxy access provisions of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles”). Among other requirements in the Articles, to nominate a director under the proxy access provisions of the Articles, a shareholder must give written notice to our Corporate Secretary that complies with the Articles no later than March 11, 2019. If the notice is received after that date, then the notice will be considered untimely and we will not be required to include the nominees in our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting.

Among other requirements in the Articles, to present business or nominate a director at an Annual Meeting, a shareholder must give written notice that complies with the Articles to our Corporate Secretary no later than March 11, 2019. If the notice is received after that date, then the notice will be considered untimely and we will not be required to present such proposal or nomination at the Annual Meeting.
