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          
1.00 pm on Tuesday,           2 June 2026.

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 General Meeting, and as at the Latest Practicable Date, the
Company has bought back 42,169,795 Ordinary Shares for a total consideration
of £150.3m representing 69 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.
