AGM attendance card
The Annual General Meeting of OSB GROUP PLC will be held at 90 Whitfield Street, Fitzrovia, London W1T 4EZ on Thursday, 9 May 2024 at 11 am.
If you would like to attend the meeting please bring this card with you and present it on arrival.

Shareholder(s) name(s)


Form of Proxy – Explanatory notes:
-
- Every shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the AGM has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice, who need not be a shareholder, as his or her proxy to exercise all or any of his or her rights to attend, speak and vote on his or her behalf at the meeting. If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman, please delete the words 'the Chairman of the meeting OR' and insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided. Those submitting a Form of Proxy are strongly encouraged to appoint the Chairman of the meeting rather than a named person as their proxy. This will ensure that your vote will be counted even if, ultimately, you (or any other proxy you might otherwise appoint) are not able to attend the meeting. 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, the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If left blank, your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement (or if this Form of Proxy has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account). If you wish for a proxy to make any comments on your behalf at the AGM, you will need to appoint someone other than the Chairman of the meeting and give them the relevant instructions directly.
-
- You may appoint more than one proxy provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. To appoint more than one proxy, additional Forms of Proxy may be obtained by contacting the Company's Registrar, Equiniti, on the dedicated shareholder helpline (see note 11 below) or, alternatively, you may photocopy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name, the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. Please also indicate by ticking the box provided if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.
-
- The 'Vote withheld' option is provided to enable you to withhold your vote on any particular resolution. However, it should be noted that a withheld vote is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'For' and 'Against'.
-
- Entitlement to attend and vote at the AGM and the number of votes which may be cast will be determined by reference to the Register of Members of the Company at 6.30 pm on Tuesday, 7 May 2024 or, in the case of an adjourned meeting, at 6.30 pm on the day which is two business days before the date of the adjourned meeting. Changes to entries on the Register of Members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the AGM or any adjourned meeting.
-
- The address details on this Form of Proxy show how your address appears on the Register of Members. If this information is incorrect please contact the Company's Registrar, Equiniti, on the dedicated shareholder helpline (see note 11 below) to request a change of address form or log on to www. shareview.co.uk.
-
- This form must be signed and dated by the shareholder or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing. In the case of a corporation, it may execute this form under its common seal or by signature of an officer, attorney or other person duly authorised to sign it. In the case of joint holdings, any one holder may sign this form. The vote of the senior joint holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders and, for this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior). The completion and return of this Form of Proxy will not preclude a member from attending the AGM and voting in person.
-
- You may return this card in a sealed envelope to Equiniti, Freepost RTHJ-CLLL-KBKU, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing BN99 8LU. A stamp is not required if posting from the UK.
-
- To appoint one or more proxies or to give an instruction to a proxy (whether previously appointed or otherwise) via the CREST system, you should follow the procedures set out in the notes to the Notice of AGM and make the appointment(s) or give the instruction so as to be received at the address and by the time stated in the notes to the Notice of AGM.
-
- It is possible for you to submit your proxy votes online by going to Equiniti's Shareview website, www.shareview.co.uk, and logging in to your Shareview Portfolio. Once you have logged in, simply click 'View' on the 'My Investments' page and then click on the link to vote and follow the on-screen instructions. If you have not yet registered for a Shareview Portfolio, go to www.shareview.co.uk and enter the requested information. It is important that you register for a Shareview Portfolio with enough time to complete the registration and authentication processes.
-
- Unless it has been previously registered with the Company, any power of attorney or other authority under which the appointment of a proxy is executed (or a notarially certified copy or a copy certified in accordance with the Powers of Attorney Act 1971 of that power or authority, or a copy in some other way approved by the Board) must be delivered together with the proxy appointment, howsoever made.
-
- Equiniti's shareholder helpline is available on +44 (0) 371 384 2701. Lines are open between 8.30 am and 5.30 pm Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays in England and Wales).
