FDM Group (Holdings) plc (the "Company") Annual General Meeting 2019 – Form of Proxy

Notes on the Form of Proxy

    1. You are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend and to speak and vote on your behalf at the meeting. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
    1. You 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 you. The following options are available:

(a) To appoint the Chairman as your sole proxy in respect of all your shares, simply fill in any voting instructions in the appropriate box and sign and date the Form of Proxy.

(b) To appoint a person other than the Chairman as your sole proxy in respect of all your shares, delete the words "the Chairman of the meeting" and insert the name and address of your proxy in the spaces provided. Then fill in any voting instructions in the appropriate box and sign and date the Form of Proxy.

(c) To appoint more than one proxy, you may copy or print multiple copies of this form. Please indicate the proxy holder's name and the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy (which, in aggregate, should not exceed the number of shares held by you). Please also indicate by marking "X" in the box provided if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. If you wish to appoint the Chairman as one of your multiple proxies, simply write "the Chairman of the Meeting". All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.

If you sign this Form of Proxy and return it with no name inserted in the box, the Chairman of the meeting will be deemed to be your proxy.

    1. Unless otherwise indicated the proxy will vote as he/she thinks fit or, at his/her discretion, abstain from voting.
    1. In case of joint shareholders, where more than one of the joint shareholders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment by the most senior holder will be accepted.

Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).

    1. A corporation must execute the Form of Proxy under either its common seal or the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney. A corporation may appoint more than one corporate representative. Any power of attorney or other authority under which this proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the Form of Proxy.
    1. The "Vote Withheld" option is to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. Such a vote is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the votes "For" and "Against" a resolution.
    1. Shares held in uncertified form (i.e. in CREST) may be voted through the CREST Proxy Voting Service in accordance with the procedures set out in the CREST Manual and in the Notice of AGM. Shareholders wishing to vote online should visit www.signalshares.com and follow the instructions.
    1. Completion and return of the Form of Proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the Meeting if you subsequently decide to do so.
    1. If you need help with voting by proxy or completing this Form of Proxy, please contact our Registrars, Link Asset Services, on 0871 664 0391 from the UK (calls cost 12p per minute plus network extras) or +44 371 664 0391 from outside the UK (calls chargeable at the applicable international rate) or email Link at [email protected]
