Premier Foods plc ('Premier Foods' or the 'Company')

Annual General Meeting 2020

Result of AGM

Premier Foods announces that at the Company's AGM held today, all of the resolutions proposed were passed with the required majorities by way of a poll. At the Meeting the Chairman gave the following update on trading:

" Regarding current trading, July was a particularly strong month exhibiting a similar sales pattern to that of Q1. We continue to expect this to be a transitionary quarter, with trading normalising as consumers gradually return to eating out of the home. Our recently upgraded expectations for FY20/21 remain unchanged."

The poll results are set out below and will also be available on the Company's website later today: www.premierfoods.co.uk
