Dear Shareholder

Introduction

The Annual General Meeting (the "AGM") of MJ Gleeson plc (the "Company") is to be held at the Company's Registered Office at 6 Europa Court, Sheffield Business Park, Sheffield, S9 1XE at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday 3 December 2020. The formal notice of the AGM of the Company (the "Notice") and the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM (the "Resolutions") are set out on pages 6 to 7 of this document. In addition to the ordinary business of an AGM there are a number of items of special business to be transacted at the meeting.

The health and wellbeing of the Company's shareholders, directors, officers and employees are of utmost importance to the Board. The Board has been closely following the developing situation in relation to Covid-19, including guidance from the UK Government and Public Health England on social distancing, and local Covid-19 alert levels. Given the current restrictions, and the health risks arising from holding a meeting in person, the Board has concluded that it is not appropriate for shareholders to attend the AGM in person this year. Instead, the AGM will be a 'closed' meeting and shareholders will not be permitted to attend the meeting in person. Shareholders or their proxies attempting to attend the AGM in person will not be admitted. The Board has agreed that the quorum for the AGM will be satisfied by the attendance of the minimum number of shareholders only, and that only the statutory formal business (consisting of the resolutions set out below) shall be conducted at the AGM.

Shareholders are encouraged to participate in the business of the meeting by exercising their voting rights. Shareholders can vote either by completing and returning the hard copy Proxy Form or completing an electronic Proxy Form (by logging onto www.signalshares. com) as soon as possible, and in any event, so as to be received no later than 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday 1 December 2020. Alternatively, shareholders who hold shares in CREST can appoint a proxy by completing and transmitting a CREST Proxy Instruction to Link Asset Services (CREST Participant ID: RA10) so that it is received no later than 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday 1 December 2020. Given the current restrictions on attendance, shareholders are encouraged to appoint the Chairman as their proxy rather than a named person who will not be permitted to attend the meeting.

The Board also encourages shareholder engagement and invites questions to be submitted in advance of the AGM by emailing them to the Company Secretary at companysecretary@mjgleeson.com by 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday 1 December 2020. The Board wishes to afford shareholders an opportunity to be able to listen to the proceedings of the AGM as the meeting is taking place. During the meeting, the Directors will endeavour to answer the questions received from shareholders in advance. If the Company receives a number of questions on similar topics then these will be grouped together and a single thematic response will be provided. Dial-in details to allow shareholders to listen to proceedings are as follows: 0808 109 0700 (for UK toll-free callers) or +44 (0) 20 3003 2666 (for international callers). Shareholders will need to quote the following password when prompted: "Gleeson AGM". These will also be made available on the Company's website (https://www.mjgleesonplc.com/).

We will continue to monitor the Covid-19 situation and any changes to the AGM arrangements will be communicated to shareholders before the AGM through our website (https://www.mjgleesonplc.com/) and, where appropriate, by RNS announcement.

Dividends

In response to the uncertainty and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, in March 2020 the Board took the decision to cancel the interim dividend of 12.0p per share (equating to a total £6.6m). In September 2020, the Company further announced that the board had taken the decision not to propose a final dividend for the year end 30 June 2020. The Board is committed to resuming dividend payments on a progressive basis as soon as it is prudent to do so.

Board Composition

In the year ended 30 June 2020, James Thomson was appointed as permanent Chief Executive Officer, and Andrew Coppel, CBE, and Fiona Goldsmith were both appointed as Independent Non-Executive Directors. Together, these appointments bring a wide variety of skills and expertise to the Board. However, we recognise that less than half the Board (excluding the Chairman) are considered to be independent and a search for a new Independent Non-Executive Director has been initiated.

Resolutions 1 to 11 will be proposed as ordinary resolutions and resolutions 12 to 15 will be proposed as special resolutions.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF MJ GLEESON PLC CONTINUED

ORDINARY BUSINESS

Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2020

Resolution 1 deals with the receipt and adoption of the annual financial statements of the Company and the reports of the Directors and Independent Auditor for the year ended 30 June 2020.

Re-appointment of Directors

The UK Corporate Governance Code published in July 2018 recommends that all directors stand for re-election on an annual basis. Resolutions 2 to 7 deal with the re-appointment of Dermot Gleeson, Andrew Coppel, Fiona Goldsmith, Christopher Mills, James Thomson and Stefan Allanson all of whom offer themselves for re-appointment. The Board believes that each Director continues to perform his/her role satisfactorily in order to discharge the Board's duties and responsibilities effectively, and to contribute to the long-term sustainable success of the Company. The Board therefore recommends the re-appointment of your Directors.

The following biographical details are given in support of the Board's recommendation to re-elect each of the Directors of the Company:

Dermot Gleeson – Chairman

Appointed to the Board in 1975

Dermot was appointed Chief Executive in 1988 and Chairman in 1994. He relinquished the post of Chief Executive in 1998. Previously employed in the Conservative Party Research Department, the European Commission and Midland Bank International Limited.

Stefan qualified as an accountant in 1994, following which he held senior finance roles at Honda Motor Co Limited, BTP plc, The Skills Market Limited, The Vita Group Limited and Tianhe Chemicals.

Re-appointment and remuneration of the Independent Auditors

Resolutions 8 and 9 deal with the re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Independent Auditor of the Company and the authority for the Directors to determine the Independent Auditors' remuneration.

Directors' remuneration

Resolution 10 seeks shareholders' approval of the Annual Report on Remuneration as set out on pages 67 to 75 of the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2020. The Annual Report on Remuneration provides details of the Directors' remuneration for the year ended 30 June 2020 and sets out the way in which the Company will implement the Directors' Remuneration Policy, which was approved by shareholders at the AGM in 2019, for the year ending 30 June 2021. This is an advisory vote.

SPECIAL BUSINESS

Share capital

Resolution 11, which will be proposed as an ordinary resolution, seeks to confer on the Directors the authority to allot ordinary shares and other shares in the Company or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into shares in the Company ("relevant securities") up to an aggregate nominal amount of £388,371 (representing approximately one-third of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 22 October 2020 being the latest practicable date before publication of this document). This authority will expire fifteen months from the date of the passing of the Resolution or at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting, if earlier, and will revoke the previous authorities to the extent that they have not already been utilised. Your Directors have no present intention of issuing any share capital of the Company, save in respect of employee share schemes, but the passing of the Resolution will enable your Directors to take advantage of any opportunities which may arise. As at 22 October 2020 the Company held none of its own shares as treasury shares.

Disapplication of pre-emption rights

Under section 561 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "2006 Act") all equity securities which a company proposes to issue for cash have to be offered to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings. Your Directors believe that this would be too restrictive to enable the Company to take advantage of opportunities which may arise. Resolution 12 seeks to authorise the Directors to allot equity securities (or sell shares held in treasury) for cash without complying with the statutory pre-emption procedure provided the allotment (or sale) is either (a) in connection with a rights issue, open offer or other pre-emptive issue or sale or (b) is a non-pre-emptive issue or sale for cash which is limited to securities of an aggregate nominal amount of £58,255 which is equivalent to approximately 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 22 October 2020 being the latest practicable date before publication of this document, in line with institutional investor guidelines.

We are also seeking additional approval, set out in Resolution 13, for disapplication of pre-emptive rights on shares issued for cash up to a further nominal amount of £58,255 which is equivalent to approximately 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 22 October 2020, being the latest practicable date before publication of this document. This authority can only be exercised for acquisitions or capital investments that the Directors determine fall within the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles.

Purchase own shares

Resolution 14, if passed, will authorise the Company to make one or more market purchases of its own shares having a maximum aggregate nominal value of £116,511, being equivalent to approximately 10% of the issued share capital as at 22 October 2020, being the latest practicable date before publication of this document. The maximum and minimum prices which may be paid for each ordinary share pursuant to this authority are as specified in Resolution 14. Your Directors have no immediate plans to utilise this proposed authority but consider it desirable for it to be available to provide additional flexibility in the management of the Company's capital resources. The Directors would exercise this authority only if they believed that to do so would be in the interests of the shareholders generally and would be likely to result in an increase in earnings per share ("EPS"). Any EPS targets included in employee share incentive schemes would be adjusted to take account of any buyback. If any shares are purchased pursuant to this authority the Company intends to cancel those shares rather than hold them in treasury.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF MJ GLEESON PLC CONTINUED

Notice of General Meetings

The Companies Act 2006 (as amended) increased the notice period required for general meetings of the Company to at least 21 clear days unless shareholders approve a shorter notice period (which cannot, however, be less than 14 clear days) and provided that certain conditions are met. A condition for the shorter notice period is that the Company offers a facility for shareholders to vote by electronic means. This condition is met if the Company offers a facility allowing shareholders to appoint a proxy by means of a website. The Company provides this facility (please see "Action to be taken" below and the notes to the Notice of the meeting below for the Company's arrangements for electronic proxy appointments). The other condition is that there is an annual resolution of shareholders approving the reduction of the minimum notice period from 21 clear days to 14 clear days. Therefore, in order to continue to be able to call General Meetings on 14 clear days' notice, Resolution 15 seeks such approval. It is intended that the shorter notice would not be used as a matter of routine for such meetings but only where the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be in the interests of shareholders as a whole. The approval will be effective until the Company's next Annual General Meeting, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed. We will continue to hold Annual General Meetings on at least 21 clear days' notice, in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association.

Action to be taken

Accompanying this document is a Proxy Form for use in relation to the AGM. Proxy Forms should be completed and returned in accordance with the instructions printed on them, so that they arrive at the Company's registrars, Link Asset Services, PXS 1, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, BR3 4ZF as soon as possible and in any event not later than 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday 1 December 2020. Electronic proxy appointment is available for this year's AGM. Electronic proxy appointment enables shareholders to lodge their proxy appointment by electronic means via the website provided by the Company's registrars, Link Asset Services, at www.signalshares.com. If you hold shares in CREST you may appoint a proxy by completing and transmitting a CREST Proxy Instruction to Link Asset Services (CREST Participant ID: RA10) so that it is received no later than 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday 1 December 2020.

Please note that all Proxy Forms (in hard copy or electronic form) and CREST Proxy Instructions must be received by the Company's registrars, Link Asset Services, no later than 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday 1 December 2019.

Recommendation

Your Directors consider that each of the proposed Resolutions in the Notice are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, your Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions as they intend to do in relation to their own beneficial holdings, amounting in aggregate to 7,588,601 shares (representing approximately 13.0% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 22 October 2020, being the latest practicable date before publication of this document).

Yours faithfully

Dermot Gleeson

Chairman

• 1. In order for a proxy appointment made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions as described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com/CREST). The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (CREST participant ID: RA10) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified in this notice.

• 1. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s), should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s) to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection CREST members and where applicable their CREST sponsors or voting services provider(s) are referred in particular to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
• 1. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
• 1. To change your proxy instructions simply submit a new proxy appointment using the methods set out above.
