Directors

Resolutions 3 & 4

Since the annual general meeting held on 7 September 2023, Octavia Morley and Steve Johnson have been appointed by the Board as directors. As required by the Articles of Association of the Company, Octavia Morley and Steve Johnson will stand for election by shareholders for the first time.

In reviewing the recommendation of the Nominations Committee concerning their election, the Board concluded that Octavia Morley and Steve Johnson will make an effective and valuable contribution to the Board. The Board unanimously recommends their elections.

Biography – Octavia Morley

Octavia Morley joined the Board as a non-executive director and a member of the Company's Remuneration, ESG and Nominations Committees on 1 April 2024. On 25 April 2024, Octavia was appointed as Senior Independent Director and the Chair of the Remuneration Committee.

Octavia is an experienced executive and non-executive board director. She has held various senior operational and strategic roles across all areas of retail at companies including Asda Stores Limited, Laura Ashley Holdings plc and Woolworths plc. Octavia was Chief Executive Officer, and then Chair, at LighterLife UK Limited. She was also Managing Director of Crew Clothing Co Limited and Chief Executive at OKA Direct Limited.

Octavia is currently Chair of Banner Group Limited, a privately owned company. She is also Senior Independent Director and Remuneration Committee Chair of Crest Nicholson Holdings plc and of Marston's PLC and a Non-Executive Director at Ascensos Limited. She formerly held non-executive director roles at Card Factory plc and John Menzies PLC.

Biography – Steve Johnson

Steve Johnson joined the Board as a non-executive director and member of the Company's Audit Committee on 1 June 2024.

Steve brings to the Board a strong track record of retail leadership and his extensive experience from a number of large online retail and financial services businesses.

Steve has been CEO of N Brown Group Plc ('N Brown') since February 2019 and Interim Executive Chair since May 2024. He joined N Brown in February 2016, was appointed as CEO of the Finance Services Operating Board in November 2017 and then as Interim CEO in September 2018. His previous roles include Financial Services Marketing and Product Director for Shop Direct Group Limited and various senior executive roles at Sainsbury's and Halifax.

Resolutions 5 to 11

Notwithstanding the specific rotational retirement provisions in the Company's Articles of Association, the Board has determined that, in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, all members of the Board will retire from office at the AGM, and each shall stand for re-election.

The biographies of all the directors standing for re-election are set out on pages 76 and 77 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2023/24.

Gerry Murphy has been a director for over nine years. The Nominations Committee considers the criteria set out in the Code when considering independence, including that exceeding a nine-year tenure can potentially impact independence. However, the Nominations Committee and Board considered the Code, director performance as well as contributions made during Board deliberations during the year. The Board concluded that Gerry Murphy is independent in character and judgement and provides effective challenge to the Board.

Following the Board evaluation process conducted during the year, the Board, supported by the Nominations Committee, considers that each of the directors proposed for re-election has demonstrated commitment to the role and continue to make an effective and valuable contribution that is important to the Company's long-term sustainable success. The Board is content that each non-executive director seeking re-election is independent in character and there are no relationships or circumstances likely to affect their character or judgement.

Auditor reappointment and remuneration Resolution 12

The Act requires the directors of a public company to appoint an auditor at each general meeting at which accounts are presented, to hold office until the conclusion of the next such meeting.

The Audit Committee has recommended to the Board, and the Board now proposes to shareholders, the reappointment of the Company's existing auditor. The reasons for the Audit Committee's recommendation are outlined on page 102 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2023/24.

Resolution 13

The Act requires that the auditor's remuneration be fixed by the Company's shareholders or in such a manner as they determine. This resolution proposes that the directors be authorised to determine the remuneration of the auditor. The Audit Committee will consider and approve the audit fees on behalf of the Board.

Political donations

Resolution 14

Part 14 of the Act requires companies to obtain shareholders' authority for donations to registered political parties and other political organisations totalling more than £5,000 in any 12-month period, and for any political expenditure, subject to limited exceptions. The definitions of political donations and political expenditure are very wide and extend to bodies such as those concerned with policy review, law reform and the representation of the business community. It could include special interest groups, such as those involved with the environment, which the Company and its subsidiaries might wish to support, even though these activities are not designed to support, or influence support for, a particular party.

It remains the policy of the Company not to make political donations nor incur political expenditure as those expressions are normally understood. The directors consider, however, that it is in the best interests of shareholders for the Company to participate in public debate and opinion-forming on matters which affect its business. To avoid inadvertent infringement of the Act, the directors are seeking shareholders' authority for the Company and its subsidiaries to make political donations and to incur political expenditure on a precautionary basis, up to the amount specified in the resolution.

No political expenditure was incurred during the period ended 27 April 2024 as confirmed on page 79 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2023/24. The authority set out in this resolution will expire at the close of business on 26 October 2025 or, if earlier, at the conclusion of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2025. It is envisaged that renewal will be sought at the 2025 and subsequent annual general meetings.

Allotment of shares

Resolution 15

The purpose of this resolution is to renew the directors' general authority to allot new shares in the Company and to grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any securities into, shares. If passed, this resolution will give the directors authority to allot unissued share capital in any circumstances up to a maximum aggregate nominal value of £377,832 being a sum equal to approximately one-third of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 26 June 2024*, being within the limits prescribed by The Investment Association.

The authority sought under this resolution will expire at the close of business on 26 October 2025 or, if earlier, at the conclusion of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2025.

There are no present plans to allot new shares in the Company, other than in connection with employee share schemes. However, the directors consider it desirable to maintain the flexibility that this authority provides to respond to market developments and to enable allotments to take place to finance business opportunities as they arise. As at 26 June 2024*, no ordinary shares were held by the Company as treasury shares.

Disapplication of pre-emption rights Resolution 16

If the directors allot new shares or other equity securities, or sell treasury shares, for cash (other than in connection with an employee share scheme), company law requires that these shares or securities are offered first to shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings (known as pre-emption rights).

The Act permits the disapplication of pre-emption rights by a special resolution of the Company. The purpose of Resolution 16 is to empower the directors to allot new shares pursuant to the authority given by Resolution 15, or to sell treasury shares, for cash free from statutory pre-emption rights in certain limited situations. The power sought replicates the power granted at last year's annual general meeting and which is due to expire at the AGM.

Sub-paragraph (a) of Resolution 16 seeks shareholder approval to allow the directors to conduct a pre-emptive offer or rights issue without the need to comply with the strict requirements of the statutory pre-emption provisions. This will enable the Board to make arrangements it deems appropriate to deal with certain legal, regulatory or practical difficulties.

For example, in a pre-emptive rights issue, there may be difficulties in relation to fractional entitlements or the issue of new shares to certain shareholders, particularly those residing in certain overseas jurisdictions.

Sub-paragraph (b) of Resolution 16 seeks shareholder approval to allow the directors to allot shares for cash (otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer or rights issue) up to a maximum aggregate nominal value of £56,675 which represents approximately 5% of the nominal amount of the issued ordinary share capital as at 26 June 2024* without the shares first being offered to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings.

The 5% maximum limit is in line with the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles. Additionally, in accordance with those Principles, the directors do not intend to issue for cash, on a nonpre-emptive basis, more than 7.5% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company over a rolling three-year period without prior consultation with shareholders.

The directors do not intend to seek a separate disapplication power over an additional 5% of the share capital for specific use in connection with acquisitions or capital investments as permitted by the Pre-Emption Group.

Explanatory notes continued

Authority to purchase own shares Resolution 17

The Act permits a company to purchase its own shares provided that the purchase has been authorised by the company in general meeting. This resolution renews the authority granted at last year's annual general meeting and grants the Company authority to purchase its own shares up to a maximum amount of 113,349,465 until the close of business on 26 October 2025 or, if earlier, at the conclusion of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2025. In line with institutional investor guidelines, the maximum number of shares that can be repurchased under this resolution represents 10% of the ordinary shares in issue as at 26 June 2024*.

The Company will comply with the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules and relevant investor guidelines in force at the time the Company undertakes any purchase of its own shares. The Listing Rules in force at the date of this document specify that the maximum price for each share is the higher of: (i) 5% above the average market value of the Company's equity shares for the five business days prior to the day the purchase is made; and (ii) the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent purchase bid on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out. The minimum price for a share shall be its nominal value.

As at 26 June 2024* there were outstanding options (granted under all share option schemes operated by the Company) to subscribe for 116,842,337 new ordinary shares in the Company. This represented 10.31% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital at that date. If this authority to repurchase were exercised in full, such options would represent approximately 11.45% of the issued share capital at such date.

The directors have no present intention of exercising this authority but wish to have the flexibility to do so in future. The directors only propose to make share purchases where the expected effect would be to increase earnings per share and, having reviewed the overall financial position of the Company, if such purchases were considered to be in the best interests of the shareholders generally. Furthermore, any director with a conflict of interest in respect of a particular exercise of the Company's power to purchase its own shares will not be involved in the decision to so exercise such power. Any purchases would be made through the London Stock Exchange and purchased shares would be cancelled (in which case the number of shares in issue would thereby be reduced) or, alternatively, held in treasury, depending on which course of action is considered by the directors to be in the best interests of the shareholders at that time.

Notice of general meetings Resolution 18

The Act requires the notice period for a general meeting of listed companies to be 21 clear days unless the shareholders of the Company approve a shorter notice period, which cannot be less than 14 clear days. However, for annual general meetings, the requirement remains as 21 clear days.

Where a company wishes to take advantage of this 14 clear days' notice period for a general meeting (other than an annual general meeting), it must: (i) offer a facility for members to vote by electronic means; and (ii) pass an annual resolution of members approving the reduction of the minimum notice period from 21 to 14 clear days. Resolution 18 seeks such approval.

If passed, this authority will remain in effect until the date of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2025. The shorter notice period will not be used as a matter of routine, but only where the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be to the advantage of the shareholders as a whole.

General notes

Entitlement to attend and vote

To be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM (and for the purpose of the determination by the Company of the votes shareholders may cast), shareholders must be registered on the register of members of the Company as at 6.30pm on Tuesday 3 September 2024 or, in the event of any adjournment, in the register of members at 6.30pm on the date two business days before the date of any adjourned meeting. Changes to entries on the register of members after the relevant deadline shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any persons to vote at the meeting.

Joint shareholders

All joint shareholders may attend and speak at the AGM. However, only the vote of the most senior joint shareholder who votes (in person or by proxy) may be counted by the Company. The most senior joint shareholder of a share shall be determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders stand in the register of members (the first name being the most senior).

Voting

Voting on each of the resolutions to be put to the meeting will be conducted by way of a poll. This means each shareholder can exercise one vote for each share held.

Shareholders are requested to vote on the resolutions in advance of the AGM and submit any questions to the Board by email to cosec@currys.co.uk in advance of the meeting.

The Company has included a vote 'Withheld' option to allow shareholders to withhold their vote on any resolution. Shareholders should be aware that a vote withheld is not a vote in law.

Voting results will be published on the Company's website at www.currysplc.com following the conclusion of the AGM.

Shareholders can vote:

• in person at the AGM
• online
• by post

Shareholders have the right to ask questions at the meeting. The Company must cause to be answered any question relating to the business being dealt with at the AGM but 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 a website in the form of an answer to a question; or (iii) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or good order of the AGM that the question be answered.

Shareholders are encouraged to submit any questions they may have in advance by email to cosec@currys.co.uk by 11.00am on Tuesday 3 September 2024.

Shareholders are requested to bring their Voting Instruction Card with them on the day.

Voting online

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.

To register for 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.

Voting by post

Shareholders that are unable to vote online can contact Equiniti and request a Form of Proxy to be sent to them by post.

Shareholders should indicate, by inserting an 'X' in black or blue ink in the appropriate box on the form of proxy, how they wish their vote to be cast on each resolution.

A shareholder wishing to appoint a proxy can use the form to appoint either a named person or the Chair of the meeting. If a shareholder signs and returns the form of proxy with no name inserted in the space provided, the Chair of the meeting will be deemed to be their proxy.

To be valid, the hard copy Form of Proxy, together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed, or a duly certified or office copy thereof, must be received by post or (during normal business hours only) by hand at the offices of the Company's registrars, Equiniti, not later than 11.00am on Tuesday 3 September 2024, or if the meeting is adjourned, no later than 2 business days before the time fixed for the adjourned meeting.

Appointment of Proxies

A shareholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to vote on their behalf. Shareholders can appoint the Chair of the meeting. A proxy does not need to be a member of the Company. A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the meeting, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that member. A member can appoint a proxy by:

• submitting a proxy appointment online at www.shareview.co.uk before 11.00am on Tuesday 3 September 2024. 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.
• submitting (if the member is a CREST member) a proxy appointment electronically by using the CREST voting service as described below before 11.00am on Tuesday 3 September 2024;
• 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 11.00am on Tuesday 3 September 2024 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; or
• requesting a hard copy Form of Proxy from Equiniti and returning the completed form to Equiniti before 11.00am on Tuesday 3 September 2024.

For assistance in appointing a proxy, members can contact Equiniti.

Where a shareholder appoints as their proxy someone other than the Chair of the meeting, they are responsible for ensuring that their proxy is aware of their voting intentions.

If a shareholder does not indicate how their proxy is to vote, they will be deemed to have authorised their proxy to vote or to withhold their vote as the appointed proxy thinks fit. Their proxy will also be entitled to vote at their discretion on any other resolution properly put to the AGM.

General notes continued

If a proxy is being appointed for less than the shareholder's full voting entitlement, the shareholder should indicate the number of shares over which the person is authorised to act as their proxy. If left blank, the proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of the shareholder's full entitlement.

A shareholder wishing to change their proxy instructions should submit a new, valid proxy appointment to Equiniti. Any changes to proxy instructions received after 11.00am on Tuesday 3 September 2024 will be disregarded. If a shareholder submits more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before 11.00am on Tuesday 3 September 2024 will take precedence.

A shareholder wishing to revoke their proxy appointment should notify Equiniti no later than 11.00am on Tuesday 3 September 2024. Any revocation notice received after this time will not have effect.

Electronic communications

Shareholders may not use any electronic address provided in either this Notice of AGM or any related documents to communicate with the Company for any purpose other than those expressly stated. Shareholders may not use any telephone number set out in this document for the purpose of lodging instructions for the 2024 AGM. The Company's website may not be used to send documents or instructions that relate to the 2024 AGM.

Appointment of proxies through CREST

CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST manual (available at www.euroclear.com). CREST personal members or other CREST-sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a 'CREST Proxy Instruction') must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's ('Euroclear') specifications, and must contain the information required for such instruction, as described in the CREST manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is 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 Company's agent (CREST participant ID RA19) no later than 11.00am on Tuesday 3 September 2024, or if the meeting is adjourned, no later than 2 business days before the time fixed for the adjourned meeting. 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 Application Host) from which the Company'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 proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.

CREST members 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 message. Normal system timings and limitations will, therefore, apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions.
