RESULTS OF 2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING - UPDATE STATEMENT

 

In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, Whitbread PLC is
providing an update on its shareholder engagement following the Annual General
Meeting held on 17 June 2021, at which a significant minority of shareholders
(35.75%) voted against the advisory resolution to approve the Company's
remuneration report.

Since the AGM, we have engaged extensively with our large investors.  As a
result, we believe we have a good understanding of investor sentiment
regarding the votes cast against.  The feedback received has been relayed to
the Remuneration Committee and will be taken into consideration by the
Committee in its future decision making.

We will continue to engage constructively with investors on this topic
throughout the rest of the year.  A final update will be provided in the
2021/22 Remuneration Report.
