Annual General Meeting

Notes to the notice of Annual General Meeting

Shareholders' attention is drawn to the Chair's Statement on page 8 concerning arrangements for the AGM in light of the UK Government's "stay at home" and "stay alert" measures.

A form of proxy is enclosed with this notice. A Shareholder entitled to attend, speak and vote is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of their rights to attend, speak and vote at the Meeting. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company. If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman of the Meeting, please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided on the enclosed form of proxy.

In the case of joint holders such persons shall not have the right to vote individually in respect of an ordinary share but shall elect one person to represent them and vote in person or by proxy in their name. In default of such an election, the vote of the person first named in the register of members of the Company tendering a vote will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders. 2

You may appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different ordinary shares. You may not appoint more than one proxy to exercise rights attached to any one ordinary share. To appoint more than one proxy you may photocopy the enclosed form of proxy. Please indicate the proxy holder's name and the number of ordinary shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy (which, in aggregate, should not exceed the number of ordinary shares held by you). Please also indicate if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions given by you. All hard copy forms of proxy must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope. 3

The form of proxy should be completed and sent, together with the power of attorney or authority (if any) under which it is signed, or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority, so as to reach Computershare Investor Services (Guernsey) Limited, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY no later than 10.30am on Friday, 26 June 2020. 4

Completing and returning a form of proxy will not prevent a member from attending the Meeting in person. If you have appointed a proxy and attend the Meeting in person your proxy appointment will remain valid and you may not vote at the Meeting unless you have provided a hard copy notice to revoke the proxy to Computershare Investor Services (Guernsey) Limited, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY not later than 10.30am on Friday, 26 June 2020. 5

To have the right to attend, speak and vote at the Meeting (and also for the purposes of calculating how many votes a member may cast on a poll) a member must first have his or her name entered on the register of members not later than 10.30am on Friday, 26 June 2020. Changes to entries in the register after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any member to attend, speak and vote at such Meeting. 6

The Directors' letters of appointment will be available for inspection for fifteen minutes prior to the Meeting and during the Meeting itself. 7

By attending the Meeting a holder of ordinary shares expressly agrees they are requesting and willing to receive any communications made at the Meeting. 8

If you submit more than one valid form of proxy, the form of proxy received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence. If the Company is unable to determine which form of proxy was last validly received, none of them shall be treated as valid in respect of the same. 9

A quorum consisting of one or more Shareholders present in person, or by proxy, and holding five percent or more of the voting rights is required for the Meeting. If, within half an hour after the time appointed for the Meeting, a quorum is not present the Meeting shall be adjourned for seven days at the same time and place or to such other day and at such other time and place as the Board may determine and no notice of adjournment need be given at any such adjourned meeting. Those Shareholders present in person or by proxy shall constitute the quorum at any such adjourned meeting. 10

The resolutions to be proposed at the Meeting will be proposed as ordinary and special resolutions which, to be passed, must receive the support of a majority (in the case of the ordinary resolutions) and not less than seventy five percent (in the case of the special resolutions) of the total number of votes cast for, or against, the ordinary and special resolutions respectively. 11

As at 15 May 2020, the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document, the Company had 406,865,419 ordinary shares in issue with a total of 406,865,419 voting rights. 12

Any person holding 3% of the total voting rights in the Company who appoints a person other than the Chairman as his proxy will need to ensure that both he and such third party complies with their respective disclosure obligations under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. 13
