Information regarding the organisation of the Combined General Meeting of
shareholders to be held on 20 May 2021 and availability of General Meeting
documents

In the context of the COVID-19 outbreak and following the arrangements made by
the French government to slow the spread of the virus (in particular Decree no.
2020-1310 of 29 October 2020 mandating the general measures necessary to deal
with the COVID-19 outbreak as part of the state of health emergency), the
Managing Partner has decided to hold the Company's Combined General Meeting
(ordinary and extraordinary) behind closed doors, without shareholders and
other persons entitled to attend physically present, on Thursday 20 May 2021 at
10:30 a.m. (Paris time), at the Company Webcast Studio: 8, place de l'Opéra -
75009 Paris (France).

This decision has been made in accordance with the conditions set out in the
Ordinance no. 2020-321 of 25 March 2020, extended and amended by Ordinance no.
2020-1497 of 2 December 2020, Decree no. 2020-418 of 10 April 2020, extended
and amended by Decree no. 2020-1614 of 18 December 2020 and Decree no. 2021-255
of 9 March 2021.

As of the date of this press release, administrative measures restricting or
prohibiting travel or collective gatherings prevent physical presence of its
members at the General Meeting, given the number of people usually attending
the General Meeting.

Under these conditions, no admission card may be sent to shareholders who
request it and shareholders are invited to vote prior to the meeting:

*  online via the secure voting platform VOTACCESS;
*  by mail using the voting form; or
*  by proxy using the voting form or electronically.

Shareholders are strongly recommended to favour online voting and email as a
method of communication.

The General Meeting will be broadcast live and in full(1), and a replay will
also be available on the Company's website in the section dedicated to the
General Meeting (www.rothschildandco.com, under the Section "Investor
Relations/Shareholders/General Meeting of Shareholders")

In addition, shareholders are reminded that they may send written questions to
the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions provided for by the
regulations in force, i.e. no later than Tuesday 18 May 2021.

Given the situation and in order to promote the shareholder dialogue, the Group
has decided, as a supplement to the legal framework applicable to written
questions, that shareholders would be able to ask additional questions from
Wednesday 19 May 2021, by email at the following dedicated address:
ag2021.questionslibres@rothschildandco.com(2), stating their surname, first
name and attaching a certificate of account registration (attestation
inscription en compte). The Company will verify the sender's status as a
shareholder.

This address will be available from Wednesday 19 May 2021 until the beginning
of the Question & Answer session of the General Meeting. These questions will
be dealt with, and grouped together, by a moderation team. They will be
answered during the General Meeting on the basis of a selection of topics that
will have received the attention of the shareholders and within the time limit
of the General Meeting(3).

Shareholders are invited to consult regularly the Company's website page
dedicated to the General Meeting in order to have access to all up to date
information on the practical arrangements for the General Meeting held behind
closed doors.

(1) Unless technical reasons make it impossible or seriously disrupt the
    broadcast.
(2) There is no legal framework for questions asked through this channel.
(3) In addition, unlike written questions falling within the scope of Article
    R.225-84 of the French Commercial Code, answers to free questions will not
    be published on the Company's website.
