Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to Suspend Production

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars announced that production at the company’s
Goodwood-based manufacturing plant will be suspended from Monday, March 23, for
two weeks. In order to further secure the health and welfare of the employees of the
company this suspension will be followed by an already-planned two-week Easter
maintenance shutdown.

The day-to-day operations of the company will be assured by non-production
employees who will remain at work at the company’s head office on the Goodwood
Estate in West Sussex or who will work from home on a rotational basis. Social
distancing measures have been introduced throughout the company.

This unprecedented action has been taken following the introduction of additional
measures by the UK Government to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic.

Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said, "This
action has not been taken lightly, but the health and well-being of our exceptional
workforce is first and foremost in our minds. We are a tight-knit community at the
Home of RollsRoyce and I have no doubt that our resilience will shine through during
this extraordinary time.” He continued, “As a deeply customer-focused company we
are aware that this decision to pause our production will possibly cause some
discomfort or inconvenience to a few of our esteemed patrons, for which we apologize
while seeking their understanding at this difficult time."
