DATALEX PLC Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

Dublin, Ireland – 15 January 2021: Datalex plc (the "Company" or the "Group") (Euronext Dublin: DLE), a market leader in digital commerce for travel retail, today announces that an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company will be held at Block U, EastPoint Dublin, D03H704, Ireland on Wednesday, 10 February 2021 at 12.00 noon (the "EGM").

Until now transactions in the shares of the Company have been settled through the CREST system. However, due to the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, it will no longer be possible to use the CREST system. Consequently, Datalex, like all other Irish incorporated and traded PLCs, will have to migrate settlement to another system based within the EU called Euroclear. This is a necessity as there is no meaningful alternative for settlement.

While it will not materially affect the fundamental rights and benefits shareholders have by owning shares, the Euroclear system, which is an intermediated system, is administratively and legally more complicated than the CREST system. For those shareholders who hold their shares in paper outside of CREST, there will be no change to what is owned and how it is held.

The business of the EGM will be to consider and, if thought fit, approve certain resolutions relating to the replacement of CREST with the Euroclear system for the electronic settlement of trading in the Company's ordinary shares.

The circular which includes notice of the EGM (the "Circular") and a Form of Proxy is being posted to shareholders today. The Board strongly urges shareholders to review the contents of the Circular in their entirety, including the documents referred to therein, and consider the Board's recommendation to vote in favour of the Resolutions.

The Circular, the Form of Proxy and copies of the documents referred to in the Circular are available to view on the Company's website, www.datalex.com/investor and will be available for inspection as described in the Circular.
