COVID-19 Update re: Results of Noteholder Consent Request

As previously announced on 7 May 2020, Marston's Issuer PLC (the "Issuer") formally asked the holders of its Secured Class A Notes (the "Noteholders") for a limited number of technical waivers and amendments (the "Proposals"), as a consequence of the enforced temporary closure of its pubs by the UK Government as a result of the COVID--19 pandemic measures.

The Group is pleased to confirm that the Noteholders which were present, or represented, at the meeting held 99.55 per cent of the total amount outstanding of the Secured Class A Notes and 96.12% voted in favour of the Extraordinary Resolution regarding the Proposals, thereby giving their consent to the technical waivers and amendments requested by the Issuer.
