Notice of 2021 Annual General Meeting

Bakkavor announces that it has today published its 2021 Notice of Annual General Meeting ("AGM" or "Meeting") on the Company's website at www.bakkavor.com

The 2021 Notice of AGM and Form of Proxy will be posted to shareholders on 20 April 2021, or otherwise made available to shareholders, as required under DTR 6.3.5R(3).

As required under Listing Rule 9.6.1, a copy of the 2021 Notice of AGM and Form of Proxy will be submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority's National Storage Mechanism (NSM) and will shortly become available for inspection at  https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism

Our preference had been to welcome shareholders in person to our 2021 AGM, particularly given the constraints we faced in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In view of the UK Government's roadmap to lifting the COVID-19 restrictions and the prevention of indoor mixing between different households to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, we are proposing to hold the AGM at the Company's Head Office with the minimum attendance required to form a quorum. Shareholders are urged not to attend the meeting in person but can be represented by the Chair of the meeting acting as their proxy.

To encourage engagement with the Board, shareholders will be provided with an opportunity to submit questions in advance of the Meeting. Any specific questions on the business of the AGM and resolutions can be submitted ahead of the Meeting by email to company.secretariat@bakkavor.com to be received no later than 10.00am on Wednesday 12 May 2021. We will endeavour to respond to all questions received and publish these questions and answers on our website by 5.00pm on Friday 14 May 2021. For any questions received after the deadline we will endeavour to answer these prior to or after the AGM via our website.

The voting results of all resolutions to be proposed at the Meeting will also be announced to the market following the AGM in the usual way.

Given the constantly evolving nature of the situation, we will notify shareholders of any changes to the arrangements for the 2021 AGM as early as is possible before the date of the Meeting. Such updates will be included on our website at www.bakkavor.com and announced via a Regulatory News Service, such announcements are also available on our website.
