The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. Renewi plc ("Renewi" or the "Company") Annual Report and Accounts 2021, Notice of Annual General Meeting and Timetable for Proposed Share Capital Consolidation Following the release of its final results for the year ended 31 March 2021 on 27 May 2021, Renewi announces that it has today published its Annual Report and Accounts 2021. Copies of the Annual Report and Notice of Annual General Meeting are available to view at www.renewiplc.com/agm2021 and will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism. Hard copies of these documents have also been posted to those shareholders who have elected to continue to receive paper communications. The Renewi 2021 Sustainability Review has also been published on the website at www.renewiplc.com. Following the publication of the notice of Annual General Meeting, Renewi also announces that its Annual General Meeting will be held at 11am on Thursday 15 July 2021 at its Milton Keynes offices in the UK. However, due to remaining uncertainty concerning any ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit their votes by proxy and to appoint the Chair of the AGM as their proxy. We will continue to review our AGM arrangements in light of the latest Government regulations and guidance, and any changes will be communicated to shareholders before the meeting on www.renewiplc.com. Shareholders are invited to ask questions of the Board. These should be sent to: [e-mail]. When submitting your question, please include your Shareholder Reference Number ('SRN') which can be found on your Form of Proxy or Share Certificate. The Board will also seek to respond to all questions and anticipates publishing questions and responses on the Company's website at: www.renewiplc.com/agm2021. Responses to similar questions will be grouped. Responses to questions received by 5.00 p.m. on Monday 5 July 2021 are expected to be published by no later than 11.00 a.m. on Monday 12 July 2021, which will provide shareholders with the opportunity to read the responses before submitting their proxy votes. Share Consolidation As announced on 27 May 2021, the Board is seeking shareholder approval at the AGM for a consolidation of the Company's share capital on the basis of 1 new ordinary share with a nominal value of £1.00 each for every 10 existing ordinary shares of 10 pence each held at the record time (the "Share Consolidation"). The Share Consolidation is expected to address investor feedback and remove index inclusion restrictions, which together enable a more consistent valuation of the Company. The Share Consolidation will reduce the total number of ordinary shares in issue and is expected to result in a share price and nominal value that the Board believes is more appropriate for a company of the Company's size. As all ordinary shareholdings in the Company will be consolidated, shareholders' percentage holdings in the issued share capital of the Company will (save in respect of fractional entitlements) remain unchanged. As further explained in the Notice of Meeting, fractional entitlements arising from the Share Consolidation will be aggregated and sold in the market. The net proceeds of such sale (after deduction of expenses of the sale) will be distributed in due proportion among the relevant shareholders, except that any individual entitlements of £5.00 or less will be retained by the Company and donated to charity. It is intended to split any donation between "Young Minds" and "Wijzijnmind/mindyoung", both being charities championing the wellbeing and mental health of young people in the UK and the Netherlands respectively. The International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) of the New Ordinary Shares will be GB00BNR4T868. Further information on the Share Consolidation is set out in the Notice of Meeting available at: www.renewiplc.com/agm2021.
