Notice of General Meeting: Approval of final dividend

Ascential plc (LSE: ASCL.L, "the Company"), the global, business-to-business media company with a focused portfolio of market-leading events and information services brands, has  posted a Notice of General Meeting to shareholders on 25 April 2017.

The Company's annual report and accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2016 included a recommendation by the Directors of a maiden final dividend for the year of 3.2 pence per ordinary share. The Company's Notice of the 2017 Annual General Meeting ("AGM") did not include an ordinary resolution asking shareholders to approve the final dividend.

A General Meeting will therefore be held at 11.15am on Thursday 11 May 2017 (or as soon thereafter as the AGM of the Company convened for 11am on such day concludes) at Coworth Park Hotel, Blacknest Road, Ascot, Berkshire SL5 7SE, to ask shareholders to vote on this ordinary resolution. Full details are included in the Notice of General Meeting which is available to view on the Company's website at https://www.ascential.com/investors/shareholder-information/agm.

A copy of the Notice of General Meeting has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be shortly available for inspection at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM
