Guidance notes on completing the Preference Shareholder Form of Proxy

• 1. Vote by post you can appoint a proxy and register your voting instructions by returning your completed Form of Proxy to Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6AH. A pre‑paid envelope, which will not require a stamp if posted in the UK, has been provided for your convenience.
• 1. Vote via Proxymity Voting you can appoint a proxy via the Proxymity platform. The time of receipt will be taken to be the time from which Computershare is able to retrieve the message. Full details on how to appoint a proxy via Proxymity can be found in the Advisory Vote Circular and the General Meeting Circular.
• 1. Whether you register your proxy appointment by post or Proxymity Voting, your proxy appointment must be received no later than 10am on 11 April 2025.
• 1. The 'Vote withheld' option is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, a 'Vote withheld' is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'For' or 'Against' a resolution. If you choose Option 3B and appoint the Chair as proxy, this will be a 'Vote withheld' for these purposes.
• 1. Entitlement to attend and vote and the number of votes which may be cast at the Advisory Vote Meeting and General Meeting will be determined by reference to General Accident's Register of Members as at 6pm on 11 April 2025.
• 1. You are entitled to appoint one or more proxies of your choice to attend, speak and vote on your behalf at the Advisory Vote Meeting and General Meeting. If you have chosen Option 3A and wish to appoint a proxy other than the Chair, please note that your proxy does not need to be a shareholder but must attend the Advisory Vote Meeting or General Meeting in person or electronically. Please indicate how you wish your proxy to vote by placing a cross or other mark in the appropriate boxes. Your proxy must vote in the way that you indicate. If you do not give an instruction, and you have appointed a proxy other than the Chair under Option 3A, your proxy may vote or abstain as they wish on any resolution. Your proxy may also vote as they wish on any other business which may properly come before the Advisory Vote Meeting or General Meeting, including any motion to amend a resolution or to adjourn the relevant meeting. If you have chosen Option 3B and have appointed the Chair as proxy, your vote will be withheld.
• 1. You may appoint more than one proxy, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. To do this you may obtain additional Preference Shareholder Forms of Proxy from Computershare, using the contact details provided on the Advisory Vote Meeting and General Meeting Attendance Card, or you may copy this form. If you hold more than one

Preference Share and you would like to choose different options for your Preference Shares, please populate the relevant box on the Preference Shareholder Form of Proxy (and, if relevant, on the Tender Form) to specify the number of shares you wish to vote on for each option (though please note it is not possible to select different options in respect of the same Preference Share(s)). If left blank, your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement (or, if this Preference Shareholder Form of Proxy has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement of that designated account). Please also indicate, by ticking the box on the front of the Preference Shareholder Form of Proxy, if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. Please sign all Preference Shareholder Forms of Proxy and return them together in the same enclosed pre-paid envelope.

• 1. The return of a completed Preference Shareholder Form of Proxy will not prevent you from attending the Advisory Vote Meeting or General Meeting physically at the Events @ No 6 or electronically, and voting at the meeting. However, if you attend the Advisory Vote Meeting or General Meeting in person or electronically, or make other arrangements to be represented or vote at the Advisory Vote Meeting or General Meeting other than by way of the relevant tender instructions (Option 1) or by appointing the Chair as your proxy to vote under a voting only instruction (Option 2), you will not be entitled to the Voting Fee, irrespective of whether you vote in favour of the Advisory Vote Resolution or the Cancellation Resolution. Please refer to the Advisory Vote Circular for full details on entitlement to the Voting Fee.
• 1. Please ensure that you sign the Preference Shareholder Form of Proxy and initial any alterations. If someone other than you signs the Preference Shareholder Form of Proxy, it must be returned with either a letter of authority, power of attorney or a certified copy of the power of attorney authorising them to sign on your behalf. If the shareholder is a corporation, the Preference Shareholder Form of Proxy must be signed either under seal or under the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney of that company, stating their capacity. If the shareholding is held jointly, the signature of any one holder is sufficient.
• 1. If your shareholding is held jointly, the instruction of the shareholder whose name appears first on General Accident's Register of Members will be accepted to the exclusion of any votes from the other joint holders.
• 1. If the address printed on the Advisory Vote Meeting and General Meeting Attendance Card is incorrect, please contact Computershare using the contact details provided.
