Dear Shareholder

REVIEW OF SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS PREFERENCE

We are taking the opportunity to ask you to review the way in which you receive shareholder information (such as the annual report and notice of AGM) from Associated British Foods plc (the 'Company').

The Companies Act 2006 allows us to communicate with shareholders electronically. We are writing to you as you have either previously indicated that you would like to receive shareholder documentation in paper copy form, or you are a new shareholder who has not yet made an election.

Advantages of electronic communications

There are a number of advantages both for you as a shareholder and the Company in using electronic communications:

• faster delivery of communications;
• environmental benefits from reducing the use of paper and energy required for publication and distribution; and
• cost benefits from reduced printing and postal delivery.

To ensure that we can benefit from these advantages, we consult shareholders periodically to check how they wish to continue to receive shareholder documentation from us.

We invite you to choose from the three options overleaf.
