Statement Re AGM and Change of Venue

Arden Partners plc

("Arden" or the "Company")

Statement re Annual General Meeting ("AGM") and change of venue

Arden (AIM: ARDN) would like to inform shareholders of a change of venue for its AGM which is scheduled for 12.30pm on Wednesday 25 March 2020.

At present we expect our AGM to take place, however the venue is being changed. The AGM will now be held at Arden's Birmingham office - 5 George Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham B15 3DU.

In view of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, the AGM will be kept as concise and efficient as possible and we will minimise social interactions with additional hygiene requirements in force at the meeting and venue. In addition, we intend to limit the attendance of Company employees and Board directors.

The Company is now encouraging shareholders to vote electronically rather than attend the meeting in person. In order to reduce the risk of infection, the meeting will end immediately following the business of the AGM and there will be no corporate presentation, Q&A or refreshments. The Company is taking these precautionary measures to safeguard its shareholders' and employees' health and make the AGM as safe and efficient as possible.

Instructions on voting are attached to the Notice of Meeting already sent out to shareholders and which can be found on the Company's website.

The Company will continue to update shareholders on material corporate and business developments in the usual way, via the Regulatory News System (RNS).
