Henry Boot PLC ('the Company') 2019 Annual Report and Financial Statements and Notice of Annual General Meeting

This letter is to notify you that the Company's 2019 Annual Report and Financial Statements, also containing the Notice of Annual General Meeting, has now been published on the Company's website at www.henryboot.co.uk

The Notice of Annual General Meeting will remain on this website until the conclusion of the meeting, and to access the document please click on the 2019 Annual Report link located on the home page. In the interests of the environment, I would ask that you please refrain from printing unless absolutely necessary.

This letter is introducing the proposals contained in the document which should be read before taking a decision. This notification is not a summary of the proposals and should not be regarded as a substitute for reading the document.

The Annual General Meeting will be held at Banner Cross Hall, Ecclesall Road South, Sheffield S11 9PD on Tuesday 30 June 2020 at 12.30pm. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, shareholders will not be permitted to attend the Annual General Meeting in person. Details of how shareholders can access the Board's company update, usually delivered at the AGM, will be detailed on the Company's website in due course. The Board encourages shareholders to monitor the Company's website (www.henryboot.co.uk/investors) and regulatory news services for any updates in relation to the Annual General Meeting that may need to be provided. In the meantime, the Board encourages shareholders to submit their proxy form as early as possible by post or electronically as detailed in the notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting and the proxy form.

Ordinarily, ordinary shareholders are entitled to appoint any person as their proxy to attend and to exercise all or any of their rights to vote and to speak at the Annual General Meeting instead of the shareholder. However, in view of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, the Company is encouraging ordinary shareholders to appoint the Chairman as their proxy (either electronically or by post) with their voting instructions as shareholders or their proxies will not be allowed to attend the Annual General Meeting in person. The deadline for doing this is set out in the notes to the

Notice of Annual General Meeting and the proxy form. In addition, the method of submitting questions to the Board is detailed on the Notice of AGM. The Company is taking these precautionary measures to safeguard its shareholders' and employees' health and make the Annual General Meeting as safe and efficient as possible.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for having consented to receive this report via the Company's website, as this will help the Company in reducing printing and mailing costs and also the impact of such activities on the environment. If in the future you would prefer to receive shareholder communications from the Company via email, instead of by post, please register your email address via the Computershare Investor Services PLC Investor Centre at www.investorcentre.co.uk and follow the instructions provided.
