CareTech Holdings PLC (AIM: CTH), a pioneering provider of specialist social care and education services to adults and children in the UK, will hold its closed Annual General Meeting ("AGM") at 10:00am today at CareTech's headquarters, Metropolitan House, 3 Darkes Lane, Potters Bar, Hertfordshire EN6 1AG.

At the AGM, Farouq Sheikh, Executive Chairman of CareTech, will confirm that the Group's trading performance to-date for FY 2021 is in-line with the Board's and market's expectations and that the Group has successfully maintained its proactive approach to managing the impact of COVID-19.

The Group's priority has continued to be the safety, health and well-being of its employees and on continuing to deliver a high quality service to those in its care. Following on from previous announcements, all operational sites continue to be open in the current lockdown and, in the absence of routine regulatory inspections, the Group has effectively reinforced the management of quality and care governance functions keeping to its high standards.

CareTech's financial position remains robust with strong cash generation being deployed across a growing pipeline of development opportunities across the Group as well as continuing to de-lever in line with stated targets.

No other new material information will be disclosed.
