Posting of Annual Report and Accounts and Notice of AGM

Arena Events Group plc (AIM: ARE) (the "Company") announces that its Annual General Meeting of shareholders will be held at 11.30 am on 1 September 2020.

Following changes to company law introduced under the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 on 26 June 2020, and as a result of the UK Government 'stay alert measures' and related guidance on social distancing and public gatherings ("COVID-19 Related Measures"), the Directors have decided that the AGM will be held on a closed basis by electronic or telephonic means. This decision has been taken to protect the health and safety of our colleagues and Shareholders in light of the COVID-19 Related Measures currently in place and recognising the possibility of increased measures being introduced nearer to the date of the AGM. The AGM will be held as a closed meeting that is solely functional in format and shareholders will not be able to attend. A very limited number of persons from the Company will be present to conduct the meeting such that relevant legal requirements can be satisfied.

As shareholders will not be able to attend in person, we strongly encourage voting on all resolutions by completing a proxy appointment form in hard-copy or electronically appointing the chairman of the meeting as your proxy. All valid proxy votes to be exercised by the chairman of the meeting will also be included in any vote taken at the meeting. The results of the votes on the proposed resolutions will be announced, in the normal way, via poll as soon as practicable after the conclusion of the AGM.

Whilst this year's AGM will be solely functional, the Board would like to assure shareholders that the measures adopted this year are temporary in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Shareholders are encouraged to raise any questions on the business of the AGM in advance of the AGM with the Company Secretary at [e-mail] (please include 'ARENA 2020 AGM' in the subject heading). Questions must be received by 5.00pm on 28 August 2020. Any questions received will be replied to by the Board via the Company Secretary either before or after the AGM, unless it is inappropriate or impractical to do so.

The Annual Report and Accounts for the fifteen months ended 31 March 2020, together with its Notice of AGM, have been posted to shareholders today and are also available on the Company's website https://arenagroup.com/.

The Board would like to thank all our shareholders for their understanding and support during this time, and look forward to meeting you in person at future AGMs.
