Explanatory Notes:

• 1. Whilst Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted as at the date of this Notice of AGM and it is currently anticipated that shareholders will be permitted to attend and vote in person at the AGM, the Covid-19 situation is constantly evolving and the UK Government may introduce new restrictions or implement further measures relating to the holding of shareholder meetings which may mean this is no longer possible. Therefore, shareholders are encouraged to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy for the AGM. If any other person is appointed as proxy and Covid-19 restrictions are introduced which affect the holding of the meeting, that proxy may not be permitted to attend the AGM. Any changes to the arrangements for the AGM will be communicated to shareholders prior to the meeting, including through the dedicated webpage for the 2022 AGM, at (www.delarue.com/investors/agminformation-2022) and by announcement through a regulatory information service.
• 2. Every holder has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice, who need not be a shareholder, as their proxy to exercise all or any of their rights, to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting. If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman, please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided (see reverse). If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the box next to the proxy holder's name (see reverse) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If returned without an indication as to how the proxy shall vote on any particular matter, the proxy will exercise their discretion as to whether, and if so how, they vote (or if this proxy form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the proxy will exercise their discretion as to whether, and if so how, they vote).
• 3. To appoint more than one proxy, an additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Registrar's helpline on 0370 703 6375 or you may photocopy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name (see reverse) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy.
