2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM)

London, UK - 15 April 2020: Spirent Communications plc ("Spirent", the "Company" or the "Group") (LSE: SPT), a leading test, measurement, analytics and assurance technology company today announced the following update to arrangements for its 2020 Annual General Meeting ("AGM").

Spirent's AGM is due to take place on 29 April 2020. In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association and given the Covid-19 situation, in particular the compulsory measures (the Stay at Home Measures) published by the Government on 23 March 2020 prohibiting public gatherings of more than two people, regrettably shareholders will not be able to attend the AGM in person. We will make arrangements to ensure that the legal requirements to hold the meeting can be satisfied and the format of the meeting will be purely functional: the meeting will comprise only the formal votes without any business update.

Shareholders are therefore strongly encouraged to vote on all of the resolutions online or by appointing the Chair of the AGM as a proxy in advance of the meeting (appointing the Chair of the AGM as proxy, rather than another named person, ensures your vote will be counted in the meeting). Please refer to the Notes on pages 6 and 7 of the Notice of AGM for instructions on how to vote online or by proxy. Questions can be raised before the meeting by sending them to plc@spirent.com and they will be responded to in writing. This situation is constantly evolving, and the UK Government may change current restrictions or implement further measures relating to the holding of general meetings during the affected period. If it is necessary to provide shareholders with further information about the AGM, or notify them about any alternative arrangements, we will do so on our website at https://corporate.spirent.com/ and by announcement via a Regulatory Information Service.
