Further to the announcements made earlier today and yesterday by McColl's Retail Group plc relating to the Capital Raising, the Company announces that the Prospectus has been published today, having received approval from the Financial Conduct Authority, and is available on the Company's website at www.mccollsplc.co.uk.

The Prospectus includes, inter alia, a notice convening a General Meeting to be held at 11.00 a.m. on Wednesday 1 September 2021 at Ground Floor West, One London Road, Brentwood, Essex, England, CM14 4QW.

Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the announcement made by the Company on 12 August 2021 at 3.50pm titled 'Proposed Firm Placing and Open Offer'.

General Meeting

Based on the current UK Government guidance, the Company expects to be able to welcome Shareholders in person to the General Meeting. However, due to the evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company cannot guarantee that physical attendance will be permitted by law and UK Government guidance. If such law and guidance requires the Company to restrict entry to, or limit the number of attendees at, the General Meeting, an announcement will be released and details will also be published on the Company's website at www.mccollsplc.co.uk. If entry is restricted to General Meeting, it is intended that the General Meeting would be convened in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association and in line with the UK Government guidance.

If the situation arises where Shareholders are advised not to attend, they are strongly encouraged to cast their votes by proxy appointing the Chairman of the meeting as proxy to vote on their behalf.

Availability of the Prospectus

Copies of the Prospectus and the Form of Proxy in relation to the General Meeting, and certain other documents in relation to the Capital Raising, are available for inspection on the Company's website www.mccollsplc.co.uk. Mailing of the Prospectus and Proxy Form will commence today.

Copies of the Prospectus and the Form of Proxy in relation to the General Meeting have also been submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority via the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for viewing shortly at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
