Chair's letter

Dear shareholder

The Annual General Meeting (the AGM) of Man Group plc (the Company) is to be held at Riverbank House, 2 Swan Lane, London EC4R 3AD on Friday 7 May 2021 at 10.00am.

In light of the UK Government's current guidance as at the date of publication of this document regarding social distancing and the prohibition of public gatherings due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year's AGM will follow a similar format to the 2020 AGM in order to protect the health and well-being of shareholders, colleagues and the wider community. Accordingly, I am encouraging shareholders to join us virtually rather than attending the AGM in person. We will provide a live webcast of the meeting, giving shareholders the opportunity to listen to the AGM presentation and ask questions of the directors. Voting at the AGM will be on a poll, and will reflect all proxy voting instructions duly received in advance of the meeting.

We believe that the AGM is an important opportunity for the Board to engage with you, our shareholders, and your vote is, as always, very important to us. I would urge you to vote on each of the resolutions set out in this Notice by either completing and returning a Form of Proxy or by completing a form online via our Registrar's website (www.sharevote.co.uk), in each case so that it is received no later than 10.00am on 5 May 2021. I encourage you to appoint the Chair of the meeting as your proxy, with voting instructions. Depending on any restrictions on public gatherings or other government measures at the time of the AGM, it may not be possible for other named proxies to attend.

The situation is constantly evolving and the Government may change current restrictions or implement further measures. We will provide information regarding any changes to the AGM arrangements under the 'Shareholder Meetings' section of the investor relations page of our website (www.man.com/investor-relations), and we encourage you to check regularly for updates.

A summary and explanation of the business of the meeting starts on page 3 and the Notice of AGM, which contains the full wording of each resolution, starts on page 9.

Resolution 2 seeks approval to roll forward the existing Directors' Remuneration Policy, as amended to reflect changes in the postemployment shareholding requirement for Executive Directors in alignment with best practice corporate governance and the Investment Association's principles. Full details are set out in the 2020 Directors' Remuneration Report.

Resolution 22 seeks approval of amendments to the Company's Articles of Association, to give the Company greater flexibility to embrace new technology in arranging general meetings, but do not permit the holding of 'virtual only' general meetings. The changes, which are in line with market practice, are explained on page 6.

Business update

Before the AGM proceedings formally start, Luke Ellis, our CEO, will give shareholders a short presentation on the progress of and outlook for the Company's business. This will be followed by the opportunity for shareholders to ask questions about business developments or performance, as well as to discuss any of the resolutions put before the meeting.

Voting

Voting at the AGM will be on a poll, and will reflect all proxy voting instructions duly received in advance of the meeting. This will deliver a fairer representation of shareholder views and is best practice at large company AGMs. Shareholders joining us for the live webcast who wish to vote must register their vote in advance by appointing the Chair of the meeting as proxy, with voting instructions. It will not be possible for shareholders joining by video link or telephone to vote on the day. Further details of the poll procedure are given on page 11.

Voting recommendation

Your directors consider that the resolutions being proposed at the AGM are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of them, as the directors intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings.

15. Reappointment of Deloitte LLP as auditor

The Company's auditor is required to be appointed or reappointed at each general meeting at which year-end accounts are presented to shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, on the recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee, is proposing the reappointment of Deloitte LLP as auditor of the Company to hold office from the conclusion of the AGM until the accounts for the next financial reporting period are presented to shareholders in a general meeting.

16. Authority for the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board to determine the auditor's remuneration

The remuneration of the auditor may be determined by the Board or shareholders in a general meeting. It is proposed in Resolution 16 that shareholders authorise the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board to agree the auditor's remuneration as this Committee is best placed to assess the work involved and decide an appropriate fee.

17. Authority for the Company and its subsidiaries to make political donations and incur political expenditure

It is not the policy of the Company or its subsidiaries to make donations to political parties, other political organisations or independent election candidates and/or to incur political expenditure and the directors have no intention of changing that policy. However, for UK incorporated companies as a result of the wide definitions in the UK Companies Act 2006, expenditure on routine business activities that form part of the normal relationship between the Company and organisations concerned with matters of public policy, law reform and other business matters affecting the Company might be construed as falling within the UK Companies Act 2006 restrictions. It is therefore common for UK incorporated companies to take the type of authority in this resolution as a precautionary measure to ensure no technical breach of the UK Companies Act 2006.

Summary and explanation of Resolutions continued

There is no restriction on donations by a company to political organisations under Jersey Law. However, in line with the practice of UK incorporated companies and as a matter of good governance, the directors will continue to seek this precautionary shareholder approval.

If passed, Resolution 17 would allow the Company and its subsidiaries to make donations to political parties, other political organisations and independent election candidates and to incur political expenditure (as defined in the UK Companies Act 2006) in the period beginning on the date of the passing of Resolution 17 and expiring at the conclusion of the AGM in 2022 or, if earlier, the close of business on 30 June 2022, provided that the combined aggregate value of donations made and political expenditure incurred does not exceed £50,000.

18-20. Directors' authorities to allot shares 18. General authority to allot

Paragraph (a) of Resolution 18 seeks authority for the directors to allot ordinary shares up to a nominal amount of US\$16,617,032. Paragraph (b) of Resolution 18 seeks authority for the directors to allot ordinary shares up to a further nominal amount of US\$16,617,032 provided that these shares are allotted for cash only to existing shareholders pursuant to a rights issue.

The aggregate nominal value of the shares for which authority to allot is sought under Resolution 18 is equivalent to approximately two-thirds (66.67%) of the nominal issued ordinary share capital of the Company, excluding treasury shares, as at 1 March 2021 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice). This authority would remain in force until the AGM in 2022 or, if earlier, the close of business on 30 June 2022.

The authority being sought renews the existing authority given to directors last year and is in line with the Share Capital Management Guidelines issued by the Investment Association (IA). The IA Guidelines state that, in addition to directors' requests for authorisation to allot new shares in an amount up to one-third of a company's existing issued ordinary share capital, excluding treasury shares, (as proposed in paragraph (a) of Resolution 18), the IA will regard as routine any requests to authorise the allotment of shares in an amount up to a further one-third (as proposed in paragraph (b) of Resolution 18), provided that any shares allotted in an amount exceeding one-third are used solely for a rights issue and that the authority is only valid until the next AGM.

The Board has no current plans to make use of the authority sought under Resolution 18, except in relation to the Group's share plans, and is requesting it only to ensure that the Company has the maximum permitted flexibility to manage its capital resources.

As at 1 March 2021 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice), the Company held 87,804,508 treasury shares which represent 6.04% of the total number of ordinary shares in issue, excluding treasury shares, at that date.

19. Authority to allot shares for cash other than on a pro-rata basis to existing shareholders (special resolution)

Resolution 19 seeks to renew the directors' existing authority to allot shares wholly for cash on a non pre-emptive basis, i.e. without first offering them to shareholders pro-rata to their existing shareholdings, in any circumstances up to an aggregate nominal amount of US\$2,492,555 which includes the sale on a non-preemptive basis of any treasury shares for cash. This maximum limit represents approximately 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, excluding treasury shares, as at 1 March 2021 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice). The authority would remain in force until the AGM in 2022 or, if earlier, the close of business on 30 June 2022.

This authority is in line with the IA Guidelines and the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles (the Principles). The Board confirms that it does not intend to issue more than 7.5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, excluding treasury shares, for cash on a non pre-emptive basis in any rolling three-year period (other than in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment as described in the Principles and referenced in Resolution 20) without prior consultation with shareholders.

The Board has no current plans to make use of the authority sought under Resolution 19 and is requesting it only to ensure that it maintains maximum flexibility in managing the Company's capital resources.

20. Authority to allot shares for cash other than on a pro-rata basis to existing shareholders in relation to acquisitions and specified capital investments (special resolution)

Resolution 20 seeks to renew the directors' existing authority to allot shares wholly for cash on a non pre-emptive basis, in addition to any authority granted under Resolution 19, up to an aggregate nominal amount of US\$2,492,555 for the purpose of financing a transaction (or a refinancing within six months of the transaction) which the directors determine to be an acquisition or other capital investment contemplated by the Principles. This maximum limit represents approximately 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, excluding treasury shares, as at 1 March 2021 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice). The authority would remain in force until the AGM in 2022 or, if earlier, the close of business on 30 June 2022.

The Board confirms that, in accordance with the Principles, any shares issued under this authority would only be used in connection with an acquisition or a specified capital investment which is either announced at the same time as the proposed pre-emptive issue or which has taken place in the six-month period preceding the issue and is disclosed in the announcement of the issue.

The maximum nominal value of equity securities which could be allotted if both the authorities under Resolutions 19 and 20 were used would be US\$4,985,109, which represents approximately 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, excluding treasury shares, as at 1 March 2021 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice).

The Principles define a 'specified capital investment' as one or more specific capital investment related uses for the proceeds of an issuance of equity securities in respect of which sufficient information regarding the effect of the transaction on the listed company, the assets the subject of the transaction and (where appropriate) the profits attributable to them is made available to shareholders to enable them to reach an assessment of the potential return.

The Board has no current plans to make use of the authority sought under Resolution 20 and is requesting it only to ensure that it maintains maximum flexibility in managing the Company's capital resources.

21. Authority for the Company to purchase its own shares (special resolution)

Resolution 21 renews an existing share purchase authority which was given to the Company last year. It enables the Company to purchase in the market up to a maximum of 145,399,026 ordinary shares (representing approximately 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, excluding treasury shares, as at 1 March 2021, being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice).

The minimum price which may be paid for any share, exclusive of expenses, is 33/7 US cents (or sterling equivalent) and the maximum price which may be paid for a share, exclusive of expenses, is the higher of:

• (i) an amount equal to 105% of the average of the middle market prices shown in the quotations for the ordinary shares in the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which that ordinary share is purchased; and
• (ii) an amount equal to the higher of the price of the last independent trade of an ordinary share and the highest current independent bid for an ordinary share on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out.

The Board would use the authority sought under Resolution 21 only if it were satisfied that to do so would be in the best interests of shareholders generally and would lead to an increase in the Company's earnings per share. Shares purchased under this authority would be cancelled or held as treasury shares to be sold or cancelled at a later date or used to satisfy awards granted under the Group's share plans as the Board saw fit. If shares were held in treasury, the increase in earnings per share would only be effective until such time as the shares were subsequently sold or used for share awards. If treasury shares were used for share awards, such use would be within the limits on dilution contained in institutional shareholder guidelines. As at 1 March 2021 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice), the Company has 87,804,508 ordinary shares held in treasury. The authority would remain in force until the AGM in 2022 or, if earlier, the close of business on 30 June 2022.

As at 1 March 2021 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice), the total number of ordinary shares that might be issued on the exercise of outstanding options was 40,039,206 which represented approximately 2.75% of the Company's issued share capital, excluding treasury shares, at that date. If the existing authority to purchase the Company's ordinary shares and the authority proposed to be granted under this resolution were exercised in full, these option awards would, assuming no further ordinary shares were issued after that date, represent 3.37% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, excluding treasury shares, as at that date. This percentage would reduce to 3.06% if no purchases were made under the existing authority but the authority proposed to be granted under Resolution 21 was exercised in full.

Information on the Company's share buy back programme, and on its use of the authority to purchase own shares as granted at the AGM in 2020, can be found in Note 20 to the financial statements in the Annual Report.

22. Amendment of Articles of Association (hybrid general meetings) (special resolution)

It is proposed under Resolution 22 to adopt new Articles of Association (the New Articles) in order to update the existing Articles of Association to include provisions enabling the holding of 'combined physical and electronic general meetings'. A 'combined physical and electronic general meeting' (commonly referred to as a 'hybrid meeting') is a general meeting (including an annual general meeting) held at a physical venue with additional facilities for shareholders to attend, speak and vote at the meeting by electronic means.

The New Articles are intended to allow the Company the flexibility to embrace new technology, as appropriate. The New Articles are in line with best practice and do not permit the holding of 'virtual only' general meetings.

A copy of the New Articles and a copy of the existing Articles of Association, marked to show all the changes proposed, are available for inspection as noted on page 8 of this document

23. Authority to convene general meetings on 14 clear days' notice (special resolution)

The Company's Articles of Association provide that the minimum notice period for general meetings is 21 clear days unless the Company:

• (i) has passed a special resolution in general meeting approving the holding of a general meeting on 14 clear days' notice; and
• (ii) offers the facility for all shareholders to vote by electronic means.

The directors wish to retain the flexibility to call general meetings on 14 clear days' notice and Resolution 23 seeks to renew their existing authority to do this. The directors will not use the authority as routine and will ensure that it is used only where the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and it is in the interests of shareholders to do so. The renewed authority would remain in force up to the date of the 2022 AGM. The Company provides electronic proxy voting through CREST and through www.sharevote.co.uk for all shareholder meetings. Annual General Meetings must and will always be held on at least 21 clear days' notice.

The following notes should be read in conjunction with the details set out in the letter from the Chair on the arrangements for attending and asking questions at this year's AGM.

1. Appointment of proxies

A shareholder 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 shareholder may appoint more than one proxy, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to different shares. Such proxy or proxies need not be shareholders of the Company. Unless you have registered to receive shareholder documents via email alert, a Form of Proxy will be sent to you by post. To appoint more than one proxy, please obtain the appropriate number of additional Forms of Proxy from the Company's Registrars, EQ, or, if you have received a paper Form of Proxy, photocopy the Form you have received. Shareholders are encouraged to appoint the Chair of the meeting as their proxy to attend and vote on their behalf given the uncertainties with regard to the admission of shareholders or their representatives to the AGM due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

2. Online proxy voting

Alternatively, a shareholder may register a proxy appointment and give voting instructions online via the EQ website (www.sharevote.co.uk) subject to the terms and conditions shown on the website. To do this you will need your voting ID, task ID and shareholder reference number shown on your Form of Proxy. Shareholders registered with www.shareview.com can log on and appoint a proxy and give voting instructions through that service.

3. Information rights

A person who is not a shareholder, but who has been nominated by a shareholder to enjoy information rights, does not have a right to appoint any proxies. A nominated person may have a right under an agreement with the relevant shareholder to be appointed as a proxy or to have somebody else appointed as a proxy for the meeting. If a nominated person does not have such a right, or has such a right and does not wish to exercise it, they may have a right under an agreement with the relevant shareholder to give instructions as to the exercise of voting rights.
