Result of Annual General Meeting 2020

Tate & Lyle PLC (the 'Company') announces that at its Annual General Meeting ('AGM') held earlier today, all resolutions contained in the Notice of Annual General Meeting 2020 were duly passed.

The Board recognises that the AGM is an opportunity for shareholders to express their views directly to Board members  and, despite the necessary changes to the format of the AGM this year due to Covid-19, the Board was keen to ensure that shareholders had the opportunity for engagement in advance of the AGM. Therefore, shareholders were invited to submit questions in advance of the meeting and an audiocast was made available giving shareholders an opportunity to hear a presentation from our Chairman, Gerry Murphy, and our Chief Executive, Nick Hampton. You can listen to the audiocast from this link or from our website www.tateandlyle.com/investors/agm . The audiocast is available to watch on the above link until Thursday 24 August 2020.
