Publication of Annual Report and Notice of Annual General Meeting

Nichols plc, the diversified soft drinks Group, announces that its Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020 (the "Annual Report") is being posted to shareholders today and is also being made available on the Company's website at www.nicholsplc.co.uk.

The Annual Report contains notice (the "Notice") of the Company's 2021 Annual General Meeting ("AGM"), which will be held on Wednesday 28 April 2021 at 11.00am.

Our preference had been to welcome shareholders in person to our AGM, particularly given the constraints we faced in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, at present under UK Government guidelines, shareholders are unable to attend the AGM in person. We are therefore proposing to hold the AGM with the minimum attendance required to form a quorum.

Although shareholders will not be able to attend the AGM this year, shareholders' views remain important to us. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to encourage all shareholders to exercise their votes by appointing the Chair of the meeting to act as their proxy. The deadline for receipt of proxies is 11.00am on 26 April 2021. Shareholders should refer to the Notice for details on how to vote by proxy.

We would also encourage shareholders to ask questions that they would have raised at the AGM. Questions should be submitted via [e-mail] to be received no later than 11.00am. on 26 April 2021. Answers to questions will be published on our website as soon as practicable following the AGM.

The Board is closely monitoring developments in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related UK Government guidelines and will provide an update by an announcement via a Regulatory Information Service if any further changes are required to the AGM arrangements.
