AGM Update

As previously announced, Crest Nicholson's 2020 Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held at 10.30 a.m. on Tuesday 24 March 2020 at Brooklands Hotel, Brooklands Drive, Weybridge, Surrey KT13 0SL.

The Company continues to closely monitor the evolving situation in respect of COVID-19 and its forthcoming AGM. The health and welfare of the Company's shareholders, as well as its employees and customers, is our number one priority.

At present we expect our AGM to take place as planned. However, it will be kept as concise and efficient as possible and we will minimise social interactions with additional hygiene requirements in force at the meeting and venue. In addition, we intend to limit the attendance of Company employees and Board directors.

Shareholders attending the AGM will still be able to ask questions and participate in the main meeting. In the event a shareholder is unable to question a preferred director, the Company will arrange appropriate dialogue after the meeting.

Given the recent Government guidance to not travel unless it is essential we strongly encourage shareholders to consider whether they can participate in the AGM by submitting any questions in advance and voting via proxy rather than attending in person. As such, any specific questions on the business of the AGM and resolutions can be submitted ahead of meeting by e-mail to [e-mail] (marked for the attention of the Company Secretariat). We will publish these questions and answers on our website after the meeting.

Shareholders are also encouraged to submit their votes by proxy regardless of whether they expect to attend in person, and to do so no later than 10.30 a.m. on Friday 20 March 2020. Details of how to appoint a proxy are set out in the notice of AGM. Shareholders are reminded of their right to appoint the Chairman of the AGM, or any other person, as their proxy to attend the meeting and vote on their behalf.

In the event that our AGM arrangements have to change, the Company will issue a further communication via a regulatory new service.

Our Company Secretariat remain available to shareholders in the first instance for any questions related to the AGM via [e-mail] or by telephone [phone].
