Notice of Electronic Communications

 

Franchise Brands plc, an international multi-brand franchise business,
announces that it is writing to all registered shareholders today regarding
its intention to adopt electronic communication methods for future shareholder
documents. The Company's articles of association, which were adopted in July
2016, allow the Company to use electronic communication with shareholders.

 

A letter setting out the communication options available to shareholders is
being sent to shareholders on the register as at 20 January 2023. Shareholders
wishing to continue to receive shareholder documents in hard copy form will
need to notify the Company's registrar, SLC Registrars, by no later than 20
February 2023, by completing the instructions within the letter.

 

Shareholders who do not return the response form by the designated date will
be deemed to have consented to receiving shareholder documents by means of
Franchise Brands' website at www.franchisebrands.co.uk and will no longer
receive documents in hard copy form except for letters to notify them when a
new document becomes available on the Company's website.

 

Further details are set out in the letter, which will shortly be available on
the Company's website.

 

The Company believes that reducing the number of communications sent by post
will not only result in cost savings but will also reduce the environmental
impact of printing and distributing documents.
