Annual General Meeting - Update on Format

Dublin, London, 27 August 2020: Applegreen plc will hold it's Annual General Meeting ("AGM"), as previously announced, at 11.00am on 1 September 2020 at the Company's Head Office, Block 17, Joyce Way, Park West, Dublin 12. The Board regrets that it will not be possible for shareholders to attend the AGM due to the extension of the Irish Government's COVID-19 restrictions in relation to public gatherings as announced on 18th August 2020.

The Board considers the health, safety and wellbeing of shareholders and colleagues to be a priority and will implement the Government restrictions and the measures advised by the HSE to minimise the spread of COVID-19 in relation to the holding of the upcoming AGM.

The 2020 AGM will be held under extremely constrained circumstances in order to comply with the extended Government restrictions and the current HSE guidance, and as a consequence:

· The AGM will be held as a closed meeting;

· The AGM will be conducted as quickly and efficiently as possible and in a functional format;

· The AGM will proceed with the minimum quorum required;

· In the interests of the health, safety and wellbeing of Applegreen's shareholders and employees, other shareholders will not be admitted to the meeting; and

· All resolutions at the AGM will be decided on a poll and the results of the poll will be published on the Company's website, www.applegreenstores.com, after the meeting.

The Board is strongly encouraging all shareholders to:

· submit a proxy in advance of the meeting to ensure that their vote will be counted; and

· appoint the chair of the meeting as their proxy rather than a named person who will not be permitted to attend the meeting in person.

Shareholders can, as previously advised, appoint a proxy by returning their Proxy Form to the to the registrar of the Company, Link Registrars Limited at Level 2, Block C, Maynooth Business Campus, Maynooth, Co Kildare, W23 F854, Ireland (if delivered by hand) or PO Box 1110, Maynooth, Co Kildare, Ireland (if delivered by post), or alternatively, the form can be returned to the Company Secretary at the Company's Registered Office at Block 17, Joyce Way, Park West, Dublin 12, to arrive no later than 11 am on Sunday, 30 August 2020.
