COMPANIES ACT 2006 COMPANY LIMITED BY SHARES
of Aviva plc
At the Annual General Meeting of the above-named Company, duly convened and held at Norwich City Football Club, Carrow Road, Norwich, NR1 1JE on Thursday, 4 May 2023, the following resolutions and was duly passed as an ordinary resolution of the Company. The resolution was passed as follows:
Resolution 20: To generally and unconditionally authorise the Directors of the Company in accordance with section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 (the Act) to exercise all the powers of the Company to allot ordinary shares in the Company or grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into ordinary shares in the Company:
up to an aggregate nominal amount of £307 million; and
up to a further aggregate nominal amount of £307 million in connection with an offer by way of a rights issue.
Unless previously renewed, revoked or varied, the authorities conferred by this resolution 20 shall apply in substitution for all existing authorities under section 551 of the Act (save for any authority conferred by resolution 23) until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company after the date on which this resolution is passed or, if earlier, 1 July 2024 but, in each case, so that the Company may make offers and enter into agreements before the authority expires that would, or might, require shares to be allotted or rights to be granted after the authority expires and the Directors of the Company may allot shares or grant such rights under such an offer or agreement as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.
For the purposes of this resolution 20, ‘rights issue’ means an offer to:
ordinary shareholders in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their existing holdings; and
holders of other equity securities as required by the rights of those securities or, subject to such rights, as the Directors of the Company otherwise consider necessary,
to subscribe for further securities by means of the issue of a renounceable letter (or other negotiable document) that may be traded for a period before payment for the securities is due, but subject in both cases to such limits, restrictions or arrangements as the Directors consider necessary or appropriate to deal with treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates, legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory or any other matter.
