(the "Company" or "Foxtons")

Post 2022 AGM Shareholder Engagement - Update Statement

The Company is providing an update on engagement with shareholders following the Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") on 15 June 2022.  While all resolutions at the AGM were passed, there were significant minority votes cast against resolutions 6, 8 and 10, pertaining to the re-election of three of the Group's independent non-executive directors.

In accordance with its commitment at the AGM, the Board has engaged with shareholders to better understand their views. Certain of these shareholders were dissatisfied with Foxtons' management and the decisions previously taken by the Board in 2021.

With a new Chair, CEO and wider management team now complete and in place, Alan Giles and Sheena Mackay have decided they will not stand for re-election at the 2023 AGM. The Company is undertaking a process to find successors for the two roles and a further update will be provided in due course.

Nigel Rich, Chairman of Foxtons, said: "I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Board to thank Alan and Sheena for their significant support and contribution as non-executive directors since I joined the business and wish them well with their new endeavours."
