Notice of AGM

National World plc

("National World," or the "Company")

Annual General Meeting

National World, (LSE: NWOR.L) will hold its Annual General Meeting, ("AGM") on 30 June 2020 at 11.00 am.

The Notice of AGM, together with Proxy Form, has been posted to shareholders today. The AGM documents will also be on the Company's website: https://www.nationalworld.com/investors/reports-presentations-and-publications/year/2020.

Shareholders should note that arrangements for this year's AGM differ from the usual public company in-person format.

The Company expects significant Covid-19-related personal movement restrictions to still be in force at the time of its AGM and is therefore utilising provisions in its Articles of Association, and certain associated discretionary powers for the orderly conduct of meetings, to facilitate the holding of the meeting on an electronic platform.

Accordingly, this year's AGM will be an electronic meeting only. All voting at the resolutions at the AGM will be conducted on a poll which means that shareholders should submit their proxy, (by post, email or online voting) as soon as possible. We ask that all questions which shareholders wish to raise be submitted to ir@nationalworld.com in advance.

The platform the Company will be using enables shareholders to submit a separate poll card as they "exit" the electronic meeting but, to ease administration, we request that proxies be lodged in advance wherever possible.

Full details of the operation and arrangements for the AGM are set out in the Notice of AGM.

The Company is also taking the opportunity to adopt new Articles of Association to permit semi-virtual or hybrid meetings as the Board believes this may be a way to facilitate and enhance shareholder engagement at future meetings.
