Printed copies of these documents together with the Form of Proxy for use in connection with the 2020 Annual General Meeting have been posted to shareholders who have requested hard copies. Copies of the Annual Report and Accounts and the 2020 AGM Notice are also available electronically on the Investor Relations section of the IP Group website at www.ipgroupplc.com/investor-relations.

The 2020 Annual General Meeting will be held at 11.00am on 18 June 2020 at the Company's offices at The Walbrook Building, 25 Walbrook, London, EC4N 8AF.

The evolving COVID-19 situation and the related Government guidelines have clearly impacted the ability of shareholders to attend the Company's AGM. It is the Company's intention to hold the AGM with the minimum quorum of shareholders present to conduct the business of the meeting (being two director-shareholders). Whilst the current guidance remains in place, no other shareholders will be permitted to physically attend the meeting. Any shareholder who attempts to attend the meeting in person will be refused entry.

Instead of attending the AGM, the Company requests that shareholders submit their votes by proxy either electronically or by post.

The Company will keep the AGM arrangements under review and will announce any further updates as appropriate.
