· Notice of 2021 Annual General Meeting (the "Notice of AGM")
· Form of Proxy

Arrangements for the AGM in light of COVID-19
Following the disruption to our 2020 AGM, our hope had been to welcome shareholders in person to our 2021 AGM. However, as at the date of this announcement and as set out in the roadmap out of lockdown announced by the UK Government on 22 February 2021, our expectation is that there will still be limitations on our ability to host the AGM with shareholders in attendance in person. As a result of the Government Measures, shareholders may not be permitted to attend the AGM in person if they wish to do so or, if attendance at the AGM is permissible at the relevant time it is likely to be restricted in terms of numbers. If shareholders are not permitted to attend the AGM because of Government Measures, the AGM will be limited to the minimum number required to form a quorum (which will be facilitated by the Company). Further details are provided in the Notice of AGM.
Accordingly, given the uncertainty, we strongly encourage shareholders not to attend in person and to vote by proxy as soon as possible and, in any event, by no later than 10:00 am (British Summer Time) on 18 May 2021. We are keen to hear shareholders views, and to answer questions on the business of the AGM and shareholders may submit questions to the Board prior to the AGM by emailing the Company Secretary at capinfo@capreg.com with the subject line "2021 AGM". The voting results of all resolutions put before the AGM will be announced to the market following the Meeting.
If Government Measures at the time of the AGM permit attendance in person by shareholders, any shareholders who wish to attend are strongly encouraged to advise the Company at least 48 hours in advance of the AGM by emailing the Company Secretary at capinfo@capreg.com. Any such confirmation however shall not provide a guarantee that admittance to the AGM will be permitted where to do so would be in breach of Government Measures and/or where there is the need to protect the health and safety of all attendees.
The Company will continue to update shareholders on arrangements for the AGM through a Regulatory Information Service and the Company's website at www.capreg.com/investor-info/2021-agm/ particularly as regards any relaxation of the Government Measures. Shareholders are advised to check the Company's website regularly for updates.
