Delay in the publication of Audited Financial Statements

The Board of Robinson plc (the "Company") advises its shareholders that there will be a small delay in the publication of the Company's audited financial results for the year ended 31 December 2019 ("Audited Results"). The Company has been advised by its auditors Mazars LLP ("Mazars") that, following guidance today from the financial authorities and given the developments and prevailing circumstances surrounding COVID-19, the audit process in relation to the Board's going concern assessment and associated disclosures will now require more time to complete.

In light of the above, while the Company had intended to announce its Audited Results on 27 March 2020, the Company will now defer the publication of its Audited Results for a short period of time.

The Company emphasises that the delay arises from preparing the additional disclosures required in relation to Covid-19 and the audit work Mazars is required to perform on these and not as a result of concerns relating to 2019 results.
