Annual Report and Accounts and Notice of Annual General Meeting

Annual Report and Accounts

ITV released its Preliminary Announcement of annual results for the year ended 31 December 2020 on 9 March 2021. Further to the Preliminary Announcement, the Company can confirm that the 2020 Report and Accounts and Notice of 2021 Annual General Meeting (AGM) is now being made available to shareholders. The Report and Accounts is available on the Company's website at www.itvplc.com with the Notice of AGM and Form of Proxy at www.itvplc.com/investors/shareholder-information/AGM .

All of the material required to be communicated to the media in unedited full text through a Regulatory Information Service under DTR 6.3.5 was in the Preliminary Announcement issued on 9 March 2021 (other than the Directors' Responsibility statement, which is set out in the Appendix). This material is not a substitute for reading the 2020 Report and Accounts in full.

AGM

The Company's 2021 AGM will be held at 11.00 a.m. on Thursday 29 April 2021 at 200 Grays Inn Road, London WC1X 8XZ.

Because of current UK government restrictions on public gatherings due to the COVID-19 pandemic, shareholders will not be permitted to attend the AGM in person. If any shareholder does travel to attend the meeting, they will be denied access based on the prevailing circumstances. This is to ensure the safety of both our employees and shareholders.

The government's measures to help contain the spread of COVID-19 are of course subject to change and it may subsequently become possible to welcome a number of shareholders to the AGM. We will continue to monitor government guidance and any changes to the AGM arrangements as a result of new guidance, including welcoming shareholders to attend if this becomes possible within safety constraints, will be communicated as early as possible before the AGM by a notification on the Company's website and, where appropriate, by regulatory announcement.

As shareholders will not be able to attend in person, they are encouraged to vote in advance by appointing the Chairman as their proxy via www.myitvshares.com or by one of the other methods set out in the Notice of AGM and on the Company's website.

Shareholders are invited to watch the AGM via a live stream webinar and encouraged to submit questions in advance of the meeting. There will also be the opportunity to raise questions electronically during the meeting . Details of how shareholders can register and submit questions both in advance of and during the meeting are

posted on the Company's website:   www.itvplc.com/investors/shareholder-information/AGM .
