   Change of European Home Member State

    

   Renewi  plc  (LSE:   RWI,  Euronext:  RWI),   the  leading   international
   waste-to-product business, announces a change of its Home Member State.

    

   Since 31 January 2020,  the United Kingdom  ceased to be  a member of  the
   European Union.  Following  the end  of  the United  Kingdom's  transition
   period for leaving  the European  Union on  31 December  2020, the  United
   Kingdom can no longer be the Home Member State of Renewi for the  purposes
   of the  EU Transparency  Directive. Renewi  hereby announces  that it  has
   chosen the Netherlands as its Home Member State.

    

   As a result hereof, shareholders of  Renewi owning 3% or more of  Renewi's
   issued capital must report this to  the Dutch Authority for the  Financial
   Markets ("AFM").  This  must  be  reported without  delay  via  Loket  AFM
   ( 1 https://www.loket.afm.nl/). Further notification must be made  without
   delay as soon  as a  substantial shareholding or  short position  reaches,
   exceeds or goes below  a threshold. This may  be the case if  shareholders
   obtain or lose ownership of shares and/or votes, or due to an increase  or
   decrease in the issued capital of Renewi. The thresholds are: 3%, 5%, 10%,
   15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 75% and 95%.

    

   Renewi continues to  be listed on  the Official List  of the UK  Financial
   Conduct Authority  and traded  on  the main  market  of the  London  Stock
   Exchange.  Accordingly,   and  in   addition  to   the  new   notification
   requirements set out  above, shareholders should  continue to comply  with
   disclosure and other  requirements under  the UK  Disclosure Guidance  and
   Transparency Rules, which provides that the relevant thresholds  regarding
   notification of shareholdings to be 3% and each 1% threshold thereafter up
   to 100%.

    

   This announcement  is  intended  as  general  information  only  and  each
   shareholder  should  consult   its  own  adviser   with  respect  to   the
   consequences of the change of the Home Member State of Renewi and/or their
   obligations generally as a shareholder of  a company listed in the UK  and
   in the Netherlands.

    

   As at  the close  of business  on 1  January 2021,  Renewi's issued  share
   capital consisted  of 800,141,536  ordinary shares  of 10  pence each.  No
   shares were held in Treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights
   in Renewi was 800,141,536. This figure may be used by shareholders as  the
   denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they  are
   required to notify their  interest in, or a  change in their interest  in,
   Renewi.

    

   Renewi has registered  the issued  share capital  of 800,141,536  ordinary
   shares of 10 pence each and  total number of voting rights of  800,141,536
   with the AFM  today. It is  noted, however, that  it may take  a few  days
   before the registration is  visible in the  AFM Register and  shareholders
   can notify their interest via Loket AFM.
