Publication of Circular and Notice of General Meeting

Renewal of share buy-back authority

The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") announces that it is today
publishing a Circular (the "Circular"), which contains a notice of a general
meeting (the "General Meeting"), at which the Board is seeking Shareholders'
approval to renew the Company's buy-back authority in order to support the
continued operation of the Company's buy-back policy. The General Meeting will
be held at 25 Southampton Buildings, London WC2A 1AL, at 9.30 a.m. on
Wednesday, 1 October 2025.

The Board's policy is to buy back the Company's shares if the share price
discount to the NAV per Share exceeds 6 per cent. on an ongoing basis (the
"Buy-Back Policy").  Since the 2025 AGM, and as at the Latest Practicable
Date, the Company has bought back 48,578,185 Ordinary Shares for a total
consideration of £156.0m representing 69.8 per cent. of the Existing
Authority. To avoid a situation arising whereby the Existing Authority is
fully utilised prior to the Company's next annual general meeting, resulting
in the Board being unable to implement the Buy-Back Policy, the Board believes
that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders for the
buy-back authority to be renewed prior to the next annual general meeting.
Accordingly, the Board has convened the General Meeting in order to seek the
authority of Shareholders to renew the Company's authority to make market
purchases of Ordinary Shares.

A copy of the Circular will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and
will shortly be available for inspection
at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism. The Circular and
the Notice of the General Meeting will also be available on the Company's
website at https://www.worldwidewh.com/.

Unless otherwise defined, all definitions used in this announcement will have
the same meaning as described in the Circular.
