The Company confirms that the following documents have today been posted or otherwise made available to the Company's shareholders:

·      Notice of Annual General Meeting ("AGM" or "Meeting"), dated 20 May 2021; and

·      associated Form of Proxy.

In accordance with Listing Rules 14.3.6R and 14.3.7R, copies of each of these documents will today be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at:         
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism

Important information regarding the AGM

The Company's AGM will be held on Thursday 24 June 2021 at 12:30 p.m. on the Company's premises at Icon Plot 1 Main Office, No.9 Sunbank Lane, Altrincham, Cheshire WA15 0AF.

The Company continues to monitor developments relating to the outbreak of Covid-19, including the related public health guidance and legislation issued by the UK Government, and notes that, under the UK Government's roadmap out of lockdown, all legal limits on social contact are hoped to be lifted from 21 June 2021. Accordingly, the Company's Board of Directors would hope that restrictions have been eased to a level that will allow it to welcome shareholders in person to the AGM as it is keen to encourage and maintain engagement with shareholders and provide an opportunity for shareholders to ask questions in person. The Meeting will be operated within applicable social distancing requirements and the Company will be taking the necessary measures to ensure the venue is as safe as possible, cognisant of the relevant safety constraints and in accordance with UK Government guidelines in place at the time.

However, should circumstances change and the Company is required to revise its position, shareholders will be notified of any change to the AGM arrangements by an RIS announcement as early as is possible before the date of the Meeting. Any update or changes to the AGM arrangements will also be posted on the Company's website at https://www.thg.com/investor-relations/.

If, due to any such change in circumstances, the Meeting was to be held as a closed meeting, shareholders and any appointed proxies (other than the Chair of the Meeting) may be unable to attend and vote at the AGM. It is therefore the Board's recommendation that shareholders complete and return the Form of Proxy accompanying the Notice of Meeting and in doing so appoint the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy, ensuring that all votes will be counted if the Meeting is ultimately held as a closed meeting or if attendance at the Meeting is restricted or shareholders are unable to attend in person. Shareholders may also appoint a proxy electronically by no later than 48 hours before the AGM, being 12:30 p.m. on 22 June 2021, and information on how to do so is included within the notes accompanying the Notice of Meeting.

The Company recognises that, in the current climate, some shareholders may prefer not to attend the Meeting in person and has therefore made provision for such shareholders to submit questions in advance of the Meeting: questions should be emailed to AGM@thg.com by no later than 12:30 p.m. on 17 June 2021.
