Shareholders are urged to register their proxy votes electronically via the Group's Registrar's website. If shareholders prefer to return a hard copy Form of Proxy, they should do so in accordance with the instructions on the Form, which will be distributed with the Notice of AGM. Shareholders are encouraged to appoint the chair of the meeting as their proxy to ensure that their vote is counted and to complete a proxy appointment as soon as possible, and in any event by 11.00 a.m. on 15 June 2021.

About RBG Holdings plc

RBG Holdings plc is a professional services group, which includes one of the UK's pioneering law firms, Rosenblatt Limited ("RBL"), which is a leader in dispute resolution.

RBL provides a range of legal services to its diversified client base, which includes companies, banks, entrepreneurs, and individuals. Complementing this is RBL's increasingly international footprint, advising on complex cross-jurisdictional matters. RBL's practice areas include banking & finance, competition & regulatory, corporate, dispute resolution, employment, financial crime, financial services, insolvency & financial restructuring, IP/technology/media, real estate, serious & general crime, tax resolution and white-collar crime.  In April 2021, the Group announced the acquisition of the business of specialist international law firm Memery Crystal LLP (conditional on completion) ("Memery Crystal"). RBL and Memery Crystal will retain their own brand identities and separate offices, and together will form the Group's Legal Services Division.

The Group also provides litigation finance in selected cases through a separate arm, LionFish Litigation Finance (UK) Limited ("LionFish").  LionFish finances litigation matters being run by other solicitors in return for a significant return on the outcome of those cases. As such, the Group has two types of litigation assets - RBL's own client matters, and litigation matters run by third-party solicitors. LionFish is positioned to be a unique, alternative provider to the traditional litigation funders.

The Group also owns Convex Capital Limited ("Convex Capital"), a specialist sell-side corporate finance boutique based in Manchester. Convex Capital is entirely focussed on helping companies, particularly owner-managed and entrepreneurial businesses, realise their value through sales to large corporates. Convex Capital identifies and proactively targets firms that it believes represent attractive acquisition opportunities.
