("Evgen" or the "Company")

Posting of Annual Report and Notice of AGM

Evgen Pharma plc (AIM: EVG), a clinical stage drug development company, announces that its Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021, the Notice of Annual General Meeting ("AGM") and a Form of Proxy will be posted to shareholders later today and will be available to download from the Company website shortly.

The Company will hold its AGM on Tuesday, 13 July 2021 at 2pm at its offices in Alderley Park.

Since laws and the UK Government's guidance regarding the COVID-19 pandemic current on Tuesday 13 July 2021 continue to include the enforcement of social distancing and restrictions on indoor meetings, shareholders will not be permitted to attend the AGM and a closed meeting will be held. Accordingly, the business at the AGM will be curtailed to the formal business section only, with no wider presentations on business performance or question and answer session and any relevant shareholder updates will be made via RNS announcements.

Similarly, proxies other than the Chairman will not be able to attend the Meeting in person or cast the shareholder's vote. Shareholders are therefore strongly encouraged to appoint the Chairman of the AGM as their proxy. Details on how to do this are set out on the Form of Proxy being posted to shareholders today.

Any shareholder wishing to ask questions regarding the business of the AGM is encouraged to submit their questions to the Board by email to evgen@walbrookpr.com at least seven days in advance of the AGM. The Board will consider all questions and, if appropriate, will provide a written response.
