Notice of Annual General Meeting
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.1, Pearson plc has today
submitted to the National Storage Mechanism a copy of the Notice of
Annual General Meeting ("AGM") to be held on 30 April 2021 and
associated Form of Proxy.
The documents are available on Pearson's website at

Important notice re COVID-19
Legislation and government guidance relating to COVID-19
currently prohibits public gatherings and restricts non-essential
travel. Taking into account the UK Government's roadmap for easing
COVID-19-related restrictions, it is likely that by 30 April 2021
public gatherings will still be prohibited and travel will be
required to be minimised. As a result of these restrictions, at the
time of writing, shareholders will not be permitted to attend this
meeting in person, beyond the number of shareholders legally
required to constitute a quorum, which will be satisfied by the
attendance of a minimum number of director shareholders and/or
employee shareholders.
Should legislation and government guidance in respect of travel
and public gatherings change significantly before the date of the
AGM, any updates to the plans for the AGM will be posted on our
website and published to the market via a Regulatory Information
Service.
Appointing a Proxy
In order to ensure their votes are counted, shareholders are
strongly advised to appoint the Chair of the meeting as their proxy
and to register their proxy appointment electronically by visiting
the registrar's website at www.sharevote.co.uk or, if they already
have a portfolio registered with Equiniti, by logging onto
www.shareview.co.uk . If shareholders prefer to return a hard copy
Form of Proxy, they should do so in accordance with the
instructions on the Form, which was distributed with the Notice of
AGM. Where necessary, shareholders should contact the registered
shareholder (the custodian or broker) who looks after their
investments in the Company on their behalf in order to vote their
shares. All proxy instructions must be received by 12:00 noon on
Wednesday, 28 April 2021. Any person other than the Chair of the
meeting who is appointed as a proxy will not be able to attend the
AGM.
Pre-AGM Shareholder Event
The Board understands that, beyond voting on the formal business
of the meeting, the AGM also serves as a forum for shareholders to
raise questions and comments to the Board. Whilst we do not expect
to have the opportunity to meet with shareholders in person at our
AGM this year, we have made alternative arrangements for engagement
with shareholders. For further details please see the Notice of
AGM.
