Notice of Annual General Meeting ("AGM") - Correction to the Notes to Resolution 4

On 8 April 2019 the Company announced that its 2019 AGM will be held at 3.00pm on Thursday, 23 May 2019 at the offices of Deutsche Bank AG, Winchester House, 1 Great Winchester Street, London, EC2N 2DB and the posting of a circular to shareholders (the "Circular") containing notice of the resolutions to be considered at the AGM (the "Notice").

Resolution 4 as set out in the Notice proposes that Nick Hugh be appointed by shareholder resolution as a Director of the Company, having been appointed by the Board as a Director on 27 February 2018, after the text for the Company's 2018 Annual Report was finalised.

Although biographical details for Nick Hugh have been available on the Company's website since the date of his appointment as a Director (https://www.gocogroup.com/about-goco/our-people/the-board/nick-hugh/), the notes to Resolution 4 did not set out biographical details for Nick Hugh. These details are now set out for shareholders in the appendix to this announcement and should be considered alongside the notes to Resolution 4.

Given this correction does not affect the text of any resolution, no new Notice will be sent out but copies of this announcement will be posted to shareholders and submitted to the National Storage Mechanism, where it will be available for inspection. This announcement will also be made available on the Company's website at www.gocogroup.com/investors/shareholder-centre/agm, together with the Notice.

A copy of this announcement will be available for inspection at the Company's registered office (GoCompare.com Group plc, Imperial House, Imperial Way, Newport, Gwent, NP10 8UH) until the close of the AGM and may also be inspected at the AGM venue from 2:30pm on the date of the meeting and during the meeting.
