Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM")

The Company has published a Notice of EGM which is being sent to shareholders today.

The Company's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2016, which was published on 5 April 2017, included a recommendation by the Directors to pay a final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2016 of 1.38 US cents per Ordinary Share, subject to shareholders' approval at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") on 11 May 2017. The Company's Notice of AGM did not include the requisite ordinary resolution seeking shareholders' approval to the final dividend.

An EGM will therefore be held at 9am on Monday, 15 May 2017 at the offices of Linklaters LLP, One Silk Street, London EC2Y 8HQ for shareholders to vote on this ordinary resolution. If approved, the final dividend will be paid, as previously announced, on 17 May 2017.

Full details are included in the Notice of EGM which is available to view on the Company's website at: http://www.hocplc.com/en/investors/shareholder_information/agm__egm_information

Copies of the Notice of EGM and the Form of Proxy have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be shortly available for inspection at www.Hemscott.com/nsm.do
