20 May 2019

FirstGroup plc (“FirstGroup” or the “Company”) made an announcement on

Coast Capital.

FirstGroup now announces that, on 17 May 2019, the Company received a
replacement requisition notice from Coast Capital. The new requisition notice
replaces the notice dated 10 May 2019, which was invalid (as a result of it
not being signed by the correct holder of Coast Capital’s shareholding in
the Company).

The Board will be writing to shareholders regarding the requisition notice in
due course.
