Annual Report and Accounts 2020 and Notice of 2021 Annual General Meeting

The Com pany announces today that its 2020 Annual Report and Accounts and notice of Annual General Meeting ("Notice of AGM") for the Company's 2021 Annual General Meeting ("AGM") are now available to view on the Company's website at www.justgroupplc.co.uk , following the release of its preliminary results for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 on 16 March 2021.

Printed copies of the 2020 Annual Report and Accounts, together with the 2021 Notice of AGM and a form of proxy, will be posted today to those shareholders who have requested it.

The AGM will be held at 10:00am on Tuesday 11 May 2021 at Enterprise House, Bancroft Road, Reigate, Surrey, RH2 7RP.

Impact of coronavirus ("COVID-19") on our AGM

As set out in the Notice of AGM, shareholders will not be permitted to attend the AGM in person. Due to the current UK Government restrictions on public gatherings to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, and mindful of public health concerns, shareholders will not be permitted to attend the meeting in person and will be refused entry. In order to comply with relevant legal requirements, the meeting will be convened with the minimum necessary quorum. The Board is disappointed that it has been necessary to make this decision but the safety of our shareholders, as well as our colleagues, is of paramount importance.

We are closely monitoring the evolving COVID-19 situation. If circumstances should change materially before the date of the meeting, we may adapt our proposed arrangements in accordance with UK Government guidelines. Shareholders should monitor our website and our regulatory announcements for any updates in relation to the meeting.

Joining the AGM via a web based portal

In order to facilitate the best possible engagement with shareholders, given the circumstances, we intend to broadcast the AGM via a web based portal and so there will be an opportunity for shareholders to see and hear a presentation on the performance of the Group in 2020 and ask questions during the meeting.

If shareholders would like to join the meeting in this way, please email ShareholderServices@wearejust.co.uk by 10:00am on Friday 7 May 2021. You will receive an acknowledgement of your request and joining instructions shortly before the meeting.

Voting arrangements

Shareholders are encouraged to cast their vote by proxy as early as possible. Shareholders should appoint the Chair of the meeting (and not any named individual who will not be permitted to attend the meeting) to act as their proxy, otherwise the votes will be incapable of being cast. Proxy voting closes at 10:00am on Friday 7 May 2021 and you must place your proxy vote before then in order for your vote to be counted. Details on how to submit a proxy are set out in the Notice of AGM.

The web based portal will not include a voting facility so shareholders are encouraged to vote in advance by appointing the Chair of the meeting as their proxy.

Questions for the Board

If shareholders would like to ask the Board a question, they can do so in the following ways: a) by sending, in advance of the meeting, your question to ShareholderServices@wearejust.co.uk and, where appropriate, responses will be given at the meeting and published at https://www.justgroupplc.co.uk/investors/shareholder-information/agm by 18 May 2021 ; or b) if attending the meeting via the web based portal, they will be able to ask questions during the meeting.

National Storage Mechanism

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.1, copies of the 2020 Annual Report and Accounts, Notice of AGM and form of proxy have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
