Update on AGM arrangements

RWS Holdings plc ("RWS" or the "Company"), a world leading provider of technology-enabled language, content management and intellectual property support services, confirms that its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held as a hybrid meeting at 11.30 a.m. on 23 February 2022 but now at the Company's offices at New Globe House, Vanwall Business Park, Vanwall Road, Berkshire, Maidenhead, SL6 4UB (which reflects a change in the principal location of the meeting) and via a virtual meeting facility as set out in the Notice of AGM dated 24 January 2022.

Given the continued uncertainty relating to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the recent changes in the UK government's guidelines, the Company has determined to continue to hold its AGM as a hybrid meeting and to minimise physical attendance and, therefore, Shareholders (and their proxies) are strongly encouraged only to attend the AGM via the virtual meeting facility and not physically to attend the AGM.

As stated in the Notice of AGM, the Company will provide facilities for Shareholders (and their proxies) who wish to attend the AGM via a virtual meeting facility however Shareholders will not be able to vote at the Annual General Meeting via this facility. Accordingly, the Company is asking Shareholders to vote by submitting their proxy in advance of the AGM and to appoint the Chairman as their proxy with their voting instructions.  All details of these arrangements are as stated in the Notice of AGM.

A copy of the Notice of AGM, Annual Report and Accounts are available on the Company's website:  www.rws.com.
