PENNON GROUP PLC

 5 March 2024

Change of Auditor

 

Pennon Group Plc (the 'Company') today announces that it has completed a
formal tender process, overseen by its Audit Committee, for its Group audit
which has carefully evaluated the offering of each participant.

This has resulted in a recommendation from the Audit Committee, which has now
been endorsed by the Board, that a resolution be put to shareholders for
approval at the 2024 Annual General Meeting ('AGM'), appointing
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Group's auditor for the year ending 31 March
2025.

Ernst & Young LLP, who have been the Company's auditor since the year
ended 31 March 2015, will continue in the role until that time, and will
therefore undertake the Group audit for the year ending 31 March 2024. Ernst
& Young LLP will cease to hold office as the Group's auditor at the
conclusion of the Company's 2024 AGM."
