Arrangements for the Annual General Meeting

30 April 2020

M Winkworth Plc

("Winkworth" or the "Company")

Arrangements for the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in the light of the COVID-19 outbreak

The Company is required by law to hold an AGM and is still working on the basis that it's AGM will be held on 12 May 2020 at 10.30 a.m. at its registered office as scheduled. However, as COVID-19 continues to have an impact and there is no certainty about whether the lockdown will still be in force on that day, the Board has decided that the AGM should be held 'behind closed doors'.

Attendance at shareholder meetings is not deemed "essential" for work purposes, and is only required to constitute a quorum, being two shareholders. Therefore, under The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020, which are now in force, as gatherings of more than two people are prohibited, except in very limited circumstances, the Board has arranged for the AGM to be held 'behind closed doors', attended by two shareholders (who are also directors) in person to ensure that the meeting is quorate.  These shareholders will observe all appropriate measures including social distancing.

On that basis, the Company request that other shareholders do not attend in person as they will not be allowed to join the meeting. Shareholders are encouraged to submit their votes by proxy following the instructions set out in the notes to the AGM Notice. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to appoint "The Chairman of the Meeting" as their proxy.

If the lockdown is lifted by 12 May 2020, and on the basis that there are no other applicable restrictions in place, then the AGM will be made open to all shareholders. If this happens and you have submitted a proxy, you may still attend the meeting.

Please check the status of the meeting on the Company's website: www.winkworthplc.com/annual-reports-results.  Alongside "2020 AGM Update" it will state whether the meeting is open or closed to shareholders.

Should you have any questions of the board to be raised at the AGM, then please email them to the Company Secretary at the following address [email protected] by no later than 5.00 p.m. on 8 May 2020.

A Q&A reflecting the questions received and responses provided will be made available on the Company's website at www.winkworthplc.com as soon as practicable following the AGM.

It will be a shame for the directors to miss the opportunity to talk to shareholders in person, but the Board believes these changes are in the best interest of all shareholders.
