Update on arrangements for Future Annual General Meeting

Future today provides an update on arrangements for shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Wednesday 10 February 2021.

The Board has been closely monitoring the evolving COVID-19 situation. The safety and security of our workforce and shareholders is paramount. Therefore, in compliance with the 'Stay at Home Measures' passed into law in England and Wales on 6 January 2021, the AGM, which will be held at Future's London office, 1-10 Praed Mews, London, W2 1QY at 3.30 p.m. (London time) on Wednesday 10 February 2021, will now take place as a closed meeting. Future will facilitate the minimum quorum of two shareholders required to conduct the AGM's business and any other shareholder will be unable to attend in person.

Shareholders should appoint the 'Chair of the meeting' to act as their proxy as any other named person will not be permitted to attend the AGM. Further details on the appointment of a proxy are included in the notice convening the AGM set out at the end of the Notice of Meeting previously circulated to shareholders.

The Board is keen to maintain engagement with shareholders and so the following arrangements with respect to the AGM have been made:

· The Company will be providing a webcast facility that will enable shareholders to follow the proceedings of the AGM remotely and to ask questions. All shareholders are encouraged to use this facility and to follow the proceedings of the AGM in real time if they wish to do so. Details of how to join the webcast are being sent to shareholders directly.

· Shareholders can also submit any specific questions on the business of the AGM and the resolutions ahead of the AGM by email to [e-mail] (marked for the attention of the Company Secretary). Any questions must be received by 3.30 p.m. (London time) on 8 February 2021. The Board will aim to respond to these questions during the AGM but if not, questions received and answers to such questions will be made available on Future's website as soon as possible after the meeting.
