Announcement of completion of Capital Reorganisation, admission of Consolidated Shares and Total Voting Rights

Further to the announcement on 4 December 2020 by the Company regarding the results of the General Meeting held earlier that day, the Company announces that the Capital Reorganisation has become effective today.

Admission of the Company's Consolidated Shares to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the Stock Exchange's market for listed securities will take place at 8:00 a.m. today (or as soon as practicable thereafter).

The ISIN for the Consolidated Shares is GB00BN7CG237 and the SEDOL is BN7CG23.

The proportion of the Company's issued ordinary share capital held by each shareholder immediately before and after the Capital Reorganisation will remain unchanged (subject to the treatment of fractional entitlements as set out in the prospectus published by the Company on 18 November 2020 (the "Prospectus")).

Shareholders who held their Ordinary Shares in CREST prior to the Capital Reorganisation will have the Consolidated Shares credited to their CREST accounts as soon as practicable today. Shareholders who held their Ordinary Shares in certificated form will have new share certificates evidencing the Consolidated Shares to which they are entitled posted to them by first-class post at the risk of the Shareholder, which are expected to be dispatched on or around 23 December 2020.

As a result of the Capital Reorganisation, the Group's issued share capital following admission now consists of 114,933,587 Ordinary Shares of £0.10 each. There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury. The total number of voting rights following admission is now 114,933,587 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Ordinary Shares in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

In accordance with the authority given by shareholders at the General Meeting held on 4 December 2020, the Deferred Shares that have been created by the Company in connection with the Capital Reorganisation will be repurchased by the Company and subsequently cancelled. The Company intends to carry out the repurchase and cancellation of the Deferred Shares on 15 December 2020. Such repurchase and cancellation will be carried out in accordance with the rights attached to the Deferred Shares and will be effective as of the same date.

Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Prospectus, which is available on the Company's website (www.astonmartinlagonda.com/investors/October-2020-Placing).
