Explanatory notes to resolutions

Resolution 1

To receive the accounts and reports

The Chair will present the accounts and reports of the directors for the year ended 31 March 2021 to the AGM. These accounts were sent to shareholders in June 2021.

Resolution 2 Directors' Remuneration Report

The directors' remuneration report is set out in the Annual Report and Accounts 2020/21 on pages 124 to 138.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution to approve the directors' remuneration report, other than the part containing the directors' remuneration policy. Resolution 2 is an advisory resolution and does not affect the future remuneration paid to any director.

The report gives details of the directors' remuneration for the year ended 31 March 2021. The report also includes a statement from the Chair of the Remuneration Committee and details of the remuneration committee's activities. The Company's auditor, Deloitte LLP, has audited those parts of the remuneration report which are required to be audited.

At the annual general meeting held in 2020, the directors' remuneration policy was approved by shareholders. The directors' remuneration policy is not therefore required to be approved at this year's AGM. The policy will be put to shareholders again no later than the Company's AGM in 2023.

Resolution 3 Final dividend

A final dividend of US\$ 0.025 per ordinary share for the year ended 31 March 2021 is recommended for payment by the directors. If the recommended final dividend is approved by shareholders, it will be paid on 23 July 2021 to all ordinary shareholders who were on the register of members at the close of business on 25 June 2021.

Resolutions 4 to 15 Re-election of directors

Resolutions 4 to 15 deal with the election and re-election of the directors. In accordance with the requirements of the UK Corporate Governance Code and the Company's Articles of Association, all of the directors are standing for re-election by the shareholders at this year's AGM, save for Kelly Bayer Rosmarin and Jaideep Paul who are standing for election by the shareholders having been appointed as directors after the Company's AGM held in 2020.

Biographies of each of the directors seeking election and re-election can be found on pages 13 to 16 of this document together with the reasons why their contributions are, and continue to be, important to be Company's long-term sustainable success. The Board has confirmed, following a performance evaluation, that all directors standing for election and re-election continue to perform effectively and demonstrate commitment to their roles.

Resolutions 6 to 11 (inclusive) relate to the re-election of Andrew Green CBE, Awuneba Ajumogobia, Douglas Baillie, John Danilovich, Annika Poutiainen and Ravi Rajagopal who are the directors that the Board has determined are independent directors for the purposes of the UK Corporate Governance Code. Under the Listing Rules, because Bharti Airtel Limited and Airtel Africa Mauritius Limited (an indirect subsidiary of Bharti Airtel Limited) are controlling shareholders of the Company (that is a person or group of people acting together who exercise or control more than 30% of the voting rights of the Company), the election or re-election of any independent director by shareholders must be approved by a majority vote of both:

(1)the shareholders of the Company; and

(2)the independent shareholders of the Company (that is the shareholders of the Company entitled to vote on the election of directors who are not controlling shareholders of the Company).

Resolutions 6 to 11 (inclusive) are therefore being proposed as ordinary resolutions which all shareholders may vote on, but in addition, the Company will separately count the number of votes cast by independent shareholders in favour of the resolution (as a proportion of the total votes of independent shareholders cast on the resolution) to determine whether the second threshold referred to in (2) above has been met. The Company will announce the results of the resolutions on this basis as well as announcing the results of the ordinary resolutions of all shareholders.

Under the Listing Rules, if a resolution to re-elect an independent director is not approved by a majority vote of both the shareholders as a whole and the independent shareholders of the Company at the AGM, a further resolution may be put forward to be approved by the shareholders as a whole at a meeting which must be held more than 90 days after but within 120 days of the first vote. Accordingly, if any of Resolutions 6 to 11 (inclusive) is not approved by a majority vote of the Company's independent shareholders at the AGM, the relevant director(s) will be treated as having been re-elected only for the

period from the date of the AGM until the earlier of (i) the close of any general meeting of the Company, convened for a date more than 90 days after the AGM but within 120 days of the AGM, to propose a further resolution to re-elect him, (ii) the date which is 120 days after the AGM and (iii) the date of any announcement by the Board that it does not intend to hold a second vote. In the event that the director's re-election is approved by a majority vote of all shareholders at a second meeting, the director will then be re-elected until the next AGM.

If any of Resolutions 6 to 11 (inclusive) is not approved by the shareholders of the Company as a whole at the AGM but is approved by the independent shareholders, the relevant director(s) may be re-appointed by the Board as a director from the date of the AGM until the earlier of (i) the close of any general meeting of the Company, convened for a date more than 90 days after the AGM but within 120 days of the AGM, to propose a further resolution to re-elect him, (ii) the date which is 120 days after the AGM and (iii) the date of any announcement by the Board that it does not intend to hold a second vote.

The Company is also required to provide details of (i) any previous or existing relationship, transaction or arrangement between an independent director and the Company, its directors, any controlling shareholder or any associate of a controlling shareholder, (ii) why the Company considers the proposed independent director will be an effective director, (iii) how the Company has determined that the proposed director is an independent director, and (iv) the process by which the Company has selected each independent director. These details are provided for the independent directors as part of their respective biographies as set out below and on pages 13 to 16. The Company has received confirmation from each of the independent directors that there is no existing or previous relationship, transaction or arrangement that the independent directors have or have had with the Company, its directors, any controlling shareholder or any associate of a controlling shareholder

Independence

Each independent director's independence was determined by reference to the relevant provisions of the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code. The Board also considers that each of the independent directors is independent in character and judgement and that there are no relationships or circumstances which are likely to affect, or could appear to affect, their judgement.

Selection

For each current independent director's selection, the selection process involved, amongst other things, a detailed brief of the desired candidate profile against objective criteria, a process of interviews and assessments being carried out.

Resolutions 16 and 17 Appointment of auditor and auditor's remuneration

Resolution 16 relates to the reappointment of Deloitte LLP as the Company's auditor to hold office until the next AGM of the Company.

Resolution 17 authorises the Audit Committee of the Board to set their remuneration.

Resolution 18 Political donations

Resolution 18 deals with political donations. Under the Companies Act 2006, political donations to any political parties, independent election candidates or political organisations or the incurring of political expenditure are prohibited unless authorised by shareholders in advance. What constitutes a political donation, a political party, a political organisation, or political expenditure is not easy to decide, as the legislation is capable of wide interpretation. Sponsorship, subscriptions, payment of expenses and support for bodies representing the business community in policy review or reform, may fall within this.

Therefore, notwithstanding that the Company has not made a political donation in the past and has no intention either now or in the future of making any political donation or incurring any political expenditure in respect of any political party, political organisation or independent election candidate, the Board has decided to put forward Resolution 18. This will allow the Company to continue to support the community and put forward its views to wider business and Government entities without running the risk of being in inadvertent breach of the Companies Act 2006.

The authority is subject to a maximum amount of £25,000 and will cover the period from the date Resolution 18 is passed until the end of the next AGM of the Company or, if earlier, on 14 September 2022. As permitted under the Companies Act 2006, Resolution 18 also covers any political donations made, or political expenditure incurred, by any subsidiaries of the Company.

Resolution 19 Allotment of share capital

Resolution 19 deals with the directors' authority to allot shares.

© 2020 Friend Studio Ltd File name: Airtel_Africa_NoM_210602 Modification Date: 2 June 2021 11:31 am

The Board considers it appropriate that directors be granted authority to allot shares in the capital of the Company up to a maximum nominal amount of US\$ 626,358,584 representing one-third of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 3 June 2021 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document). The power will last until the end of the next AGM of the Company or, if earlier, on 14 September 2022. The Investment Association (IA) guidelines on directors' authority to allot shares state that IA members will regard as routine resolutions seeking authority to allot shares representing up to one-third of the Company's issued share capital.

The directors have no present intention of allotting new ordinary shares. However, the directors consider it appropriate to maintain the flexibility that this authority provides.

As at the date of this letter the Company does not hold any shares in the capital of the Company in Treasury.

Resolution 20 Disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights

Resolution 20 will give the directors authority to allot ordinary shares in the capital of the Company pursuant to the authority granted under Resolution 19 above for cash without complying with the pre-emption rights in the Companies Act 2006 in certain circumstances.

This disapplication authority is in line with institutional shareholder guidance, and in particular with the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles (the Pre-Emption Principles) which allow the authority for an issue of shares for cash otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer to include an authority over five per cent. of a company's issued share capital for use on an unrestricted basis.

Resolution 20 will permit the directors to allot:

• (a) equity securities for cash and sell treasury shares up to a nominal amount of US\$ 626,358,584, representing one-third of the Company's issued share capital as at 3 June 2021 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document) on an offer to existing shareholders on a pre-emptive basis (that is including a rights issue or an open offer), and
• (b) equity securities for cash and sell treasury shares up to a maximum nominal value of US\$ 93,953,787.60, representing approximately 5% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 3 June 2021 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document) otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders.

The Board considers that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders generally that the Company have the flexibility conferred by Resolution 20 to conduct a pre-emptive offering without complying with the strict requirements of the statutory pre-emption provisions and to finance business opportunities quickly and efficiently when they arise.

The Board confirms that, in accordance with the Pre-Emption Principles, it does not intend to issue shares for cash representing more than 7.5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital in any rolling three-year period to those who are not existing shareholders without prior consultation with shareholders.

As noted in relation to Resolution 19 above, the directors have no current intention of issuing ordinary shares.

The authority contained in Resolution 20 will expire upon the expiry of the authority to allot shares conferred in Resolution 19 (that is at the end of the next AGM of the Company or, if earlier, on 14 September 2022).

Resolution 21 Length of notice of meeting

Resolution 21 is a resolution to allow the Company to hold general meetings (other than AGMs) on 14 days' notice.

The minimum notice period for general meetings of listed companies is 21 days, but companies may reduce this period to 14 days (other than for AGMs) provided that two conditions are met. The first condition is that the Company offers a facility for shareholders to vote by electronic means. This condition is met if the Company offers a facility, accessible to all shareholders, to appoint a proxy by means of a website. The second condition is that there is an annual resolution of shareholders approving the reduction of the minimum notice period from 21 days to 14 days.

The Board is therefore proposing Resolution 21 as a special resolution to approve 14 days as the minimum period of notice for all general meetings of the Company other than AGMs. The approval will be effective until the end of the next AGM of the Company, when it is intended that the approval be renewed. The Board will consider on a case-by-case basis whether the use of the flexibility offered by the shorter notice period is merited, taking into account the circumstances, including whether the business of the general meeting is time-sensitive and whether it is thought to be to the advantage of shareholders as a whole.

• 1. In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will

The rights to appoint a proxy cannot be exercised by a Nominated Person: they can only be exercised by the member. However, a Nominated Person may have a right under an agreement between him and the member by whom he was nominated to be appointed as a proxy for the meeting or to have someone else so appointed. If a Nominated Person does not have such a right or does not wish to exercise it, he may have a right under such an agreement to give instructions to the member as to the exercise of voting rights..

CREST

1. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by utilising the procedures described in the CREST Manual on the Euroclear website (www.euroclear.com/ CREST).

In order for a proxy appointment made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK and Ireland Limited's (EUI) specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST manual. 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 number: 3RA50) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified in the notice of 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 Applications host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner

prescribed by CREST. 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.
