Forthcoming Annual General Meeting

The Board of BB Healthcare Trust plc has now been advised that, given concerns arising from the Covid-19 pandemic and the recent UK Government advice in relation to measures to manage the pandemic, the venue and facilities for the Annual General Meeting are no longer available.

The Annual General Meeting will still proceed on the notified date and time, 11 a.m. on 23 March 2020, but the Board has determined that it will instead be held at Mermaid House, 2 Puddle Dock, London, EC4V 3DB. All other details of the AGM remain unchanged from those notified on 20 February 2020.

There will be no presentation from the Portfolio Managers and the sole business of the meeting will be to propose the resolutions as set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

BB Healthcare Trust plc considers the well-being of shareholders as a key priority and we are closely observing the Covid-19 situation and given the health risks of attendance (and, indeed, by that time, there may be legal measures in place which mean you may not be able to attend) we strongly recommend that all shareholders on this occasion vote online or submit their proxy forms remotely to ensure their vote counts at the AGM. Votes can be lodged in advance of the AGM through any of the following means:

· online at www.signalshares.com - You will need to log in to your share portal account. If you don't have an account you can register on the share portal using your investor code (shown on your share certificate) and you will be able to vote straightaway;

· postal voting; or 

· via the CREST System if shares are held in CREST. 

Proxies must be received by no later than 11 a.m. on 20 March 2020. 

The meeting will be kept as short and concise as possible. Further, the following measures will be introduced at the meeting venue:

· Increased hygiene measures;

· No serving of coffee or refreshments;

· Minimising participation of Board members and the Portfolio Managers; and

· Limiting the number of external guests.

For further instructions on voting, please see the Notice of Meeting contained in the Annual Report, available on the Company's website: http://www.bbhealthcaretrust.com/en/bb-healthcare-trust/

The Company will continue to update shareholders on material developments in the usual way, via the Regulatory News Service. Any investor relations enquiries or questions related to the Company or the AGM can be emailed to [e-mail]
