BY ORDER OF THE BOARD

GRAHAM COPE

Company Secretary

Registered in England and Wales No. 2877315 Registered Office: Redrow House St. David's Park Flintshire CH5 3RX

NOTES

    1. A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the AGM may appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of their rights to attend, speak and/or vote on their behalf at the AGM instead of them. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company. A Shareholder may appoint more than one proxy, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that Shareholder.
    1. A Form of Proxy is enclosed which, if required, should be completed in accordance with the instructions set out therein and returned, or lodged using the CREST Proxy Voting Service in accordance with note 15 below, so as to reach the Company's Registrars, Computershare Investor Services PLC at The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY, not later than 48 hours before the time of the AGM or any adjourned meeting. Completion of a Form of Proxy will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the AGM in person if they so wish.
    1. Only those Shareholders on the register of members at 6.00pm on 8 November 2023 (or if the AGM is adjourned 48 hours before the time fixed for the meeting) are entitled to attend and vote at the AGM in respect of the number of shares registered in their respective names at that time. Changes to entries on the register of members after that time will be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting. In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to vote (including voting by proxy), the only vote which will count is the vote of the person whose name is listed before the other voters on the register for the share.
    1. The right to appoint a proxy does not apply to persons whose shares are held on their behalf by another person and who have been nominated to receive communications from the Company in accordance with Section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 ("nominated persons"). Nominated persons may have a right under an agreement with the Shareholder who holds the shares on their behalf to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy. Alternatively, if nominated persons do not have such a right, or do not wish to exercise it, they may have a right under such an agreement to give instructions to the person holding the shares as to the exercise of voting rights.
    1. Any corporation which is a Shareholder can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a Shareholder provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares.
    1. The total number of issued Ordinary Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date was 330,770,245, carrying one vote each on a poll. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company held no shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of votes exercisable as at the Latest Practicable Date was 330,770,245. Each of the resolutions to be put to the meeting will be voted on by way of a poll and not by a show of hands. A poll reflects the number of voting rights exercisable by each member and so the Board considers it a more democratic method of voting.
    1. Shareholders should note that, under Section 527 of the Companies Act 2006, Shareholders meeting the threshold requirements set out in that section have the right to require the Company to publish on a website a statement setting out any matter relating to: (i) the audit of the Company's accounts (including the Auditor's report and the conduct of the audit) that are to be laid before the AGM; or (ii) any circumstance connected with an auditor of the Company ceasing to hold office since the previous meeting at which annual accounts and reports were laid in accordance with Section 437 of the Companies Act 2006. The Company may not require the Shareholders requesting any such website publication to pay its expenses in complying with Sections 527 or 528 (requirements as to website availability) of the Companies Act 2006. Where the Company is required to place a statement on a website under Section 527 of the Companies Act 2006, it must forward the statement to the Company's Auditors not later than the time when it makes the statement available on the website. The business which may be dealt with at the AGM for the relevant financial year includes any statement that the Company has been required under Section 527 of the Companies Act 2006 to publish on a website.
    1. Shareholders may not use any electronic address provided in either this notice of meeting or any related documents (including the enclosed Form of Proxy) to communicate with the Company for any purposes other than those expressly stated.
    1. Any Shareholder attending the AGM has the right to ask questions. If a Shareholder is unable to attend the meeting in person but would like to ask a question to the Board relating to the formal business of the meeting, please write to the Non-Executive Chairman at Redrow House, St. David's Park, Ewloe, Flintshire, CH5 3RX or email the Company Secretary at [email protected] so that any questions are received no later than 10:00 a.m. on Friday 3 November 2023. Please ensure that you include your name and shareholder reference number on your question submission. The Company shall answer any such question relating to the business being dealt with at the AGM but, in line with the treatment of questions asked in person, no such answer need be given if:
  • (i) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the AGM or involve the disclosure of confidential information;
  • (ii) the answer has already been given on the Company's website in the form of an answer to a question; or
  • (iii) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the AGM that the question be answered.

The Company will publish responses to questions on https://investors. redrowplc.co.uk/shareholder-information/agm, where appropriate, on Friday 10 November 2023.

    1. A copy of this notice and other information required by Section 311A of the Companies Act 2006 can be found at redrowplc.co.uk.
    1. If you are in any doubt as to what action you should take, you are recommended to immediately seek your own personal financial advice from your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other independent financial adviser duly authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.
    1. If you have sold or otherwise transferred all of your Ordinary Shares, please forward this document, together with the accompanying Form of Proxy, as soon as possible to the purchaser or transferee or to the stockbroker, bank manager, or other agent through whom the sale or transfer was affected for onward transmission to the purchaser or transferee.
    1. The following documents are available for inspection during normal business hours at the registered office of the Company on any weekday (public holidays excluded):
  • a. a copy of the annual report and accounts of the Company for the 53 weeks ended 3 July 2022 and the year ended 2 July 2023;
  • b. the Articles of Association and Memorandum of the Company;
  • c. the letters of appointment and service contracts of the Executive Directors and the Independent Non-Executive Directors; and
  • d. this document.

These documents will also be available at the place of the meeting from 9.30 a.m. on Friday 10 November 2023 until the end of the meeting.

    1. CREST Shareholders who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the meeting (and any adjournment of the meeting) by following the procedures described in the CREST (available by logging in at euroclear.com). CREST Personal Shareholders or other CREST sponsored Shareholders (and those CREST Shareholders who have appointed a voting service provider) should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider, who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
    1. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (available via euroclear.com/CREST). The message (regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy) must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID 3RA50) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified in note 2 above. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to a proxy appointed through CREST should be communicated to them by other means.
    1. CREST Shareholders (and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers) should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST Shareholder concerned to take (or, if the CREST Shareholder is a CREST personal Shareholder or sponsored Shareholder or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that their CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST Shareholders (and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers) are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
    1. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
    1. If you are an institutional investor you may be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the Registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 10:00 a.m. on 8 November 2023 in order to be considered valid. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's associated terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by them and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy.
    1. If you have any questions about the AGM or need any special assistance in respect of the AGM, please contact the Company Secretary at the registered office or telephone 01244 520044 during normal business hours.
    1. The Company's Registrars, Computershare may process personal data of attendees at the AGM. Your personal data includes all data provided by you, or on your behalf, which relates to you as a Shareholder, including your name, contact details and the votes you cast. Computershare may process such personal data in accordance with its privacy policy which is available online at computershare.com/uk/ privacy-policy.

PART III EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE RESOLUTIONS

The following pages explain the proposed resolutions.

Resolutions 1 to 12 are proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution.

Resolutions 13 to 16 are proposed as special resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, at least three-quarters of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution.

RESOLUTION 1 - DIRECTORS' REPORT, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE AUDITOR'S REPORT

For each financial year the Directors must lay the Company's accounts, the Directors' report and the Auditor's report before members at a General Meeting. Resolution 1 therefore asks Shareholders to receive and adopt these accounts and reports.

RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL OF FINAL DIVIDEND

The Board has proposed a 2023 final dividend of 20p per share which will be paid on 16 November 2023 to Shareholders on the register on 22 September 2023, subject to Shareholder approval at the AGM. Resolution 2 therefore asks Shareholders to approve the payment of the final dividend.

RESOLUTIONS 3 TO 8 – RE -APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS

The Company's Articles of Association provide that any Director appointed to the Board since the last AGM is required to retire at the first AGM after the appointment. Geeta Nanda was appointed to the Board on 1 May 2023 and will retire at the AGM and stand for election by Shareholders for the first time since her appointment. The biographical details of Geeta Nanda are set out on page 135 of the Annual Report.

In accordance with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the "Code"), all other Directors will retire and offer themselves for re-election at the meeting. The Board has satisfied itself that all Directors continue to perform satisfactorily. For full biographies of all Directors and further details in relation to their re-election, please see pages 134 and 135 of the Annual Report.

The Company's Nomination Committee considers the appointment and replacement of Directors subject to the rules set out in the Company's Articles of Association and in accordance with the Nomination Committee's Terms of Reference. When an appointment is considered appropriate, the Nomination Committee will evaluate the balance of skills, knowledge, and experience of the Board and, in light of this evaluation, prepare a description of the role and capabilities required for a particular appointment. Details of the process followed in appointing the Directors can be found within the Nomination Committee report set out on pages 156 to 161 of the Annual Report.

The Board believes the wide variety of skills and experiences of the Directors (covering a range of areas, including operational, finance, property, housing, sustainability, climate change and customer service) brings a valuable breadth and depth to the Board's deliberations. In addition, following the formal Board performance evaluation process carried out during the year and having considered the performance and contribution of each of the Directors the Board considers each of the Directors seeking reappointment to be highly effective and committed. Accordingly, the Board considers their individual contributions, as outlined on pages 134 and 135 of the Annual Report, to be important to the Company's long-term sustainable success and considers their reappointment to be in the best interests of the Company.

In considering the independence of each Independent Non-Executive Director, the Board has taken into consideration the guidance provided by the Code. The Board considers the Independent Non-Executive Directors seeking re-election, being Richard Akers, Nicky Dulieu, Oliver Tant and Geeta Nanda, to be independent in accordance with Provision 10 of the Code as they:

  • i. have not been employed by the Company or group;
  • ii. have no material business relationship with the Company;
  • iii. do not participate in the Company's employee share plans or pension scheme;
  • iv. have not received additional remuneration beyond the director's fee displayed on page 182 of the Annual Report;
  • v. have no close family ties with any of the Company's Directors, PDMRs or advisers;
  • vi. have no significant links with other Directors through involvement in other companies;
  • vii. do not represent a significant Shareholder; and
  • viii. have not served on the Board for more than 9 years from the date of their first appointment.

The Board considers that each of the Independent Non-Executive Directors proposed for re-election continues to bring independent challenge, oversight, and advice to the Company.

The Board confirms that all Directors standing for reappointment continue to be effective and demonstrate the appropriate commitment to their roles.

RESOLUTIONS 9 AND 10 – APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS AND AUDITOR'S REMUNER ATION

The Company is required to appoint Auditors at every general meeting at which the accounts are presented to Shareholders. Following the conclusion of the tender process led by the Audit Committee, the Company announced on 9 November 2018 that the Board had approved the proposed appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company's external auditor for the financial year commencing 1 July 2019. The appointment was subsequently approved by Shareholders at the 2019 AGM and KPMG LLP have been re-appointed as the Company's external auditor by Shareholders each year since.

Resolution 9, which is recommended by the Audit Committee, proposes the re-appointment of KPMG LLP who are willing to seek re-appointment this year.

Resolution 10 authorises the Directors to determine the Auditor's fees. If this resolution is passed, the Audit Committee will approve the fees for recommendation to the Board.

RESOLUTION 11 – DIRECTORS' REMUNER ATION REPORT

This resolution deals with the remuneration of the Directors and seeks approval for the remuneration paid to the Directors during the year under review. The Company is required to ask Shareholders to approve the Directors' remuneration report (other than the remuneration policy). The remuneration report is set out on pages 166 to 191 of the Annual Report. Resolution 11 is an advisory vote.

RESOLUTION 12 – AUTHORITY TO ALLOT SHARES

Shareholders are being invited to renew the authority given to Directors in previous years to allot new shares.

If passed, the authority in paragraph (i) of Resolution 12 would renew this authority by authorising the Directors to allot shares and grant rights to subscribe for or convert other securities into shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of £11,575,800 (which is equivalent to approximately 33.33% of the Issued Share Capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date).

The authority in paragraph (ii) of Resolution 12 will allow the Directors to allot shares and grant rights to subscribe for or convert other securities into shares up to a further nominal amount of £11,575,800 (which is equivalent to approximately 33.33% of the Issued Share Capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date) only in connection with a rights issue.

The Directors are aware of the latest Share Capital Management Guidelines published by the Investment Association in February 2023, which update the previous guidance to allow this authority to incorporate all fully pre-emptive offers, not just fully pre-emptive rights issues. The Directors have decided that they will propose limiting the relevant limb of the allotment authority to rights issues in line with best practice but intend to keep emerging market practice under review.

The Company does not, as of the Latest Practicable Date, hold any shares in treasury.

The authority will expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company or, if earlier, at the close of business on 31 December 2024.

The Directors will exercise the authority to allot new shares or undertake a rights issue only when satisfied that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to do so. There are no present plans to undertake a rights issue or to allot new shares. The Directors consider it desirable to have the maximum flexibility permitted by the Investment Association guidance to respond to market developments and to enable allotments to take place to finance business opportunities as they arise.

RESOLUTIONS 13 AND 14 – GENER AL AND ADDITIONAL AUTHORITY TO DISAPPLY PRE-EMPTION RIGHTS

The Directors may only allot shares and other equity securities, or sell treasury shares, for cash (other than in connection with an employee share scheme) to persons who are not already Shareholders in the Company if authorised to do so by the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company.

The purpose of paragraphs (i)(a) and (ii) of Resolution 13 is to authorise the Directors to allot new shares and other equity securities, or sell treasury shares, for cash on a pre-emptive basis. The resolution also enables the Directors to modify the strict requirements for a preemptive offer or pre-emptive rights issue in circumstances where they consider it necessary or expedient.

In addition, there may be circumstances when the Directors consider it in the best interests of the Company to allot a limited number of Ordinary Shares or other equity securities, or sell treasury shares, for cash on a non-preemptive basis. The Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles, as updated in March 2015, supports the annual disapplication of pre-emption rights in respect of allotments of shares and other equity securities and sales of treasury shares for cash representing no more than 5% of the Issued Share Capital of the Company, without restriction as to the use of proceeds of those allotments.

Accordingly, the purpose of paragraph (i)(b) of Resolution 13 is to authorise the Directors to allot new shares and other equity securities pursuant to the authority given in Resolution 12, or sell treasury shares, for cash up to an aggregate nominal amount of £1,736,543, equivalent to approximately 5% of the Issued Share Capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, without the

PART III EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE RESOLUTIONS CONTINUED

shares first being offered to existing Shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings. The Company does not, as of the Latest Practicable Date, hold any shares in treasury.

The Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles also supports the annual disapplication of pre-emption rights in respect of allotments of shares and other equity securities and sales of treasury shares for cash representing no more than an additional 5% of the Issued Share Capital of the Company, to be used only in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment. The Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles defines "specified capital investment" as meaning one or more specific capital investment related uses for the proceeds of an issue of equity securities, in respect of which sufficient information regarding the effect of the transaction on the 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.

Accordingly, and in line with the template resolutions published by the Pre-Emption Group in May 2016, the purpose of Resolution 14 is to authorise the Directors to allot new shares and other equity securities pursuant to the authority given in Resolution 12, or sell treasury shares, for cash up to a further aggregate nominal amount of £1,736,543, equivalent to approximately 5% of the Issued Share Capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, only in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment which is announced contemporaneously with the allotment, or which has taken place in the preceding six-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the allotment. If the authority given in Resolution 14 is used, the Company will publish details of the placing in its next annual report and accounts.

In respect of the power under Resolution 13, the Board intends to adhere to the provisions in the Pre-emption Group's Statement of Principles regarding cumulative usage of authorities where the Principles provide that usage more than an amount equal to 7.5% of the Issued Share Capital of the Company within a rolling three-year period should not take place other than with prior consultation with Shareholders.

Resolution 14 is intended to give the Company flexibility to make non-pre-emptive issues of Ordinary Shares in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment which is announced contemporaneously with the allotment, or which has taken place in the preceding six-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the allotment as contemplated by the Pre-emption Group's Statement of Principles.

The Board has no current intention of exercising the authorities in Resolutions 13 and 14 but considers such authorities to be appropriate in order to allow the Company flexibility to finance business opportunities or to conduct a

pre-emptive offer or rights issue without the need to comply with the strict requirements of the statutory pre-emption provisions.

The authority will expire on whichever is the earlier of the conclusion of the next AGM or at the close of business on 31 December 2024.

RESOLUTION 15 – AUTHORIT Y TO PURCHASE OWN SHARES

The Directors are seeking authority to make market purchases of Ordinary Shares. The proposed authority would be limited by the terms of Resolution 15 to the purchases of 33,077,024 Ordinary Shares with an aggregate nominal value of £3,473,087.52, which is equivalent to approximately 10% of the Issued Share Capital of the Company at the Latest Practicable Date.

Authority was also given to the Company at the 2022 AGM to make market purchases of the Company's Ordinary Shares up to an aggregate nominal value of £3,593,814.64, which was equivalent to approximately 10% of the Issued Share Capital of the Company.

In line with the authority limits, the Company announced on 14 July 2022 that it had commenced a share buyback programme to purchase ordinary shares of 10.5p each in the Company for up to a maximum consideration of £100m.

The primary purpose of the buyback programme was to reduce the capital of the Company. The share buyback programme completed on 9 January 2023 and resulted in the Company repurchasing 21,420,175 ordinary shares of 10.5p each in the Company, of which 12,852,106 were cancelled and 8,568,069 transferred to treasury. The average price paid per share was £4.70. On 16 May 2023, all 8,568,069 shares held in treasury were cancelled, leaving no shares held in treasury.

While the Directors have no present intention of exercising the authority to make market purchases, this resolution provides the flexibility to allow them to do so in the future. The Directors would exercise this authority only if they felt it would be in the best economic interests of the Company, and of its Shareholders generally, to do so and could be expected to result in an increase in the earnings per share of the Company. Other investment opportunities, appropriate gearing levels and the overall financial position of the Company will be taken into account before deciding upon the course of action.

Details of any Ordinary Shares purchased pursuant to the proposed authority set out in Resolution 15 would be notified to the London Stock Exchange by 7.30 a.m. on the business day following the purchase and to the Registrar of Companies within 28 days. Details would also be included in the Company's annual report and accounts in respect of the financial period in which any such purchases take place. The authority set out in Resolution 15 will expire on

the earlier of the end of the next AGM or 31 December 2024, and Resolution 15 specifies the maximum and minimum prices at which the Ordinary Shares may be bought.

Ordinary Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to this authority may be held in treasury or may be cancelled. The Company currently has no Ordinary Shares in treasury. The minimum price, exclusive of expenses, which may be paid for an Ordinary Share is its nominal value. The maximum price, exclusive of expenses, which may be paid for an Ordinary Share is the highest of (i) an amount equal to 5% above the average market value for an Ordinary Share for the five business days immediately preceding the date of the purchase and (ii) the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on the trading venues where the purchase is carried out at the relevant time.

At the Latest Practicable Date, there were options outstanding over 7,178,172 Ordinary Shares, representing 2.17% of the Issued Share Capital of the Company. If the authority given by Resolution 15 were to be fully used, these options would represent 2.41% of the Issued Share Capital of the Company. There are no warrants outstanding.

RESOLUTION 16 – CALLING OF A GENER AL MEETING OTHER THAN AN AGM

Under the Companies Act 2006 the notice period required for general meetings of the Company is 21 clear days unless Shareholders approve a shorter notice period, which cannot, however, be less than 14 clear days. AGMs of the Company will continue to be held on at least 21 clear days' notice.

Resolution 16 seeks such approval. The approval will be effective until the Company's next AGM, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed. The shorter notice period will not be used routinely, but only where flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be to the advantage of Shareholders as a whole.
