UPDATE ON PUBLICATION OF FY21 RESULTS

Further to the announcement on 9 December 2021, the Group has been advised by Deloitte that it requires additional time to complete the audit of the Group's results for the year ended 3 July 2021 (FY21 results). The Group continues to work closely with Deloitte to ensure that the FY21 results are published as soon as possible. Publication is now expected to be before the end of February 2022.

Accordingly, trading in Go-Ahead's shares and corporate bond will remain suspended. The Group intends to request restoration of trading in both its shares and bonds with effect from publication of its FY21 results.
