Premier Foods plc Annual General Meeting 2020 Wednesday 12 August 2020 at 11.00 am

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

In light of the UK Government's current guidance on public gatherings, and the new regulations set out in Schedule 14 of the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act, the board has concluded that shareholders cannot be permitted to attend the Annual General Meeting in person this year.

The Annual General Meeting will be held by electronic means and will be kept as concise and efficient as possible with the minimum necessary quorum of two shareholders in order to conduct the business of the meeting. The format of the meeting will be purely functional to comply with relevant legal requirements.

Instead of attending this year's Annual General Meeting, shareholders are asked to exercise their votes by submitting their proxy electronically or by post as soon as possible, and these must be received by no later than 11.00 am on Monday 10 August 2020.

Shareholders who wish to appoint a proxy are recommended to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy. As a result of the current Government restrictions, if a shareholder appoints someone else as their proxy, that proxy will not be able to attend the meeting in order to cast the shareholder's vote.
