AGM business

In addition to the standard AGM business transacted every year, this year's meeting includes a resolution (Resolution 2) seeking to approve the new Directors' Remuneration policy (the Policy), incorporating two changes:

• Policy change: remove the \$1.1m cap on CEO salary.
• Implementation change: merge the strategic/personal and ESG metric weightings in the executive directors' annual cash bonus (currently 15% each) resulting in a 30% weighting.

Full details are set out in the 2024 Directors' Remuneration report.

Further, our standard authorities to allot shares and to disapply pre-emption rights have been updated this year to take account of updates to guidelines issued by the Investment Association and the Pre-emption Group. Further information is on page 5.

A summary and explanation of the business of the meeting is set out on pages 3 to 6 and the Notice of AGM, which contains the full wording of each resolution, is set out on pages 9 to 11.

3. Approval of the Directors' Remuneration report for the year ended 31 December 2024

Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval of the Directors' Remuneration report which is set out on pages 98 to 122 of the Annual Report. The report provides details of the remuneration arrangements for and payments and awards made to the directors in respect of the year ended 31 December 2024. These are in accordance with the Directors' Remuneration Policy approved by shareholders at the 2022 AGM, a summary of which is included on page 103 of the Annual Report.

5–14. Retirement and reappointment of directors

In accordance with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code, all of the directors listed below will retire from office at this year's AGM and will submit themselves for reappointment under Resolutions 5-14.

Brief biographies and details of the directors' expertise and contribution, which the Board considers to be important to the Company's long-term sustainable success, are given below.

It is proposed in Resolution 16 that shareholders authorise the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board to agree the auditor's remuneration, in line with best practice and as this Committee is best placed to assess the work involved and decide an appropriate fee.

Summary and explanation of Resolutions continued

17. Authority for the Company and its subsidiaries to make political donations and incur political expenditure

It is not the policy of the Company or its subsidiaries to make donations to political parties, other political organisations or independent election candidates and/or to incur political expenditure and the directors have no intention of changing that policy. However, for UK incorporated companies, as a result of the wide definitions in the UK Companies Act 2006 (the Act), expenditure on routine business activities that form part of the normal relationship between the Company and organisations concerned with matters of public policy, law reform and other business matters affecting the Company might be construed as falling within the Act restrictions. It is therefore common for UK incorporated companies to take the type of authority in this resolution as a precautionary measure to ensure no technical breach of the Act.

There is no restriction on donations by a company to political organisations under Jersey Law. However, in line with the practice of UK incorporated companies and as a matter of good governance, the directors will continue to seek this precautionary shareholder approval.

If passed, Resolution 17 would allow the Company and its subsidiaries to make donations to political parties, other political organisations and independent election candidates and to incur political expenditure (as defined in the Act) in the period beginning on the date of the passing of Resolution 17 and expiring at the conclusion of the AGM in 2026 or, if earlier, the close of business on 30 June 2026, provided that the combined aggregate value of donations made and political expenditure incurred does not exceed £50,000.

18-20. Directors' authorities to allot shares 18. General authority to allot

Paragraph (a) of Resolution 18 seeks authority for the directors to allot ordinary shares up to a nominal amount of US\$13,599,679. Paragraph (b) of Resolution 18 seeks authority for the directors to allot ordinary shares up to a further nominal amount of US\$13,599,679 provided that these shares are allotted for cash only to existing shareholders pursuant to a rights issue or other pre-emptive offer.

The aggregate nominal value of the shares for which authority to allot is sought under Resolution 18 is equivalent to approximately two-thirds (66.67%) of the nominal issued ordinary share capital of the Company, excluding treasury shares, as at 26 February 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice). This authority would remain in force until the AGM in 2026 or, if earlier, the close of business on 30 June 2026.

The authority being sought renews and updates the existing authority given to directors last year and is in line with the Share Capital Management Guidelines issued by the Investment Association in February 2023 (the IA and the IA Guidelines). The IA Guidelines state that, in addition to directors' requests for authorisation to allot new shares in an amount up to one-third of a company's existing issued ordinary share capital, excluding treasury shares, (as proposed in paragraph (a) of Resolution 18), the IA will regard as routine any requests to authorise the allotment of shares in an amount up to a further one-third (as proposed in paragraph (b) of Resolution 18), provided that any shares allotted in an amount exceeding one-third are used solely for a fully pre-emptive offer and that the authority is only valid until the next AGM.

The Board has no current plans to make use of the authority sought under Resolution 18, except in relation to the Group's share plans, and is requesting it only to ensure that the Company has the maximum permitted flexibility to manage its capital resources.

As at 26 February 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice), the Company held 83,977,551 treasury shares which represent 7.1% of the total number of ordinary shares in issue, excluding treasury shares, at that date.

19. Authority to allot shares for cash other than on a pro-rata basis to existing shareholders (special resolution)

Resolution 19 seeks to renew and update the directors' existing authority to allot shares wholly for cash on a non pre-emptive basis, i.e. without first offering them to shareholders pro-rata to their existing shareholdings, in line with the IA Guidelines and the revised Statement of Principles published by the Pre-Emption Group in November 2022 (the Statement of Principles).

If approved, this resolution, which is consistent with the Pre-Emption Group's template resolution, will authorise the directors, in accordance with the Statement of Principles, to issue shares in connection with a rights issue or other pre-emptive offer (paragraph (a) of the resolution) and otherwise to issue shares and/or sell treasury shares for cash for general corporate purposes (under paragraph (b) of the resolution), up to a maximum nominal amount of US\$4,079,904 (representing approximately 10% of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) as at 26 February 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice)).

The authority would remain in force until the AGM in 2026 or, if earlier, the close of business on 30 June 2026.

The Board has no current plans to issue shares, except in relation to the Group's share plans. However, the directors confirm that, should they exercise this authority, they intend to follow best practice as regards its use, including following the shareholder protections in Part 2B of the Statement of Principles.

20. Authority to allot shares for cash other than on a pro-rata basis to existing shareholders in relation to acquisitions and specified capital investments (special resolution)

Resolution 20 requests further shareholder approval, by way of a separate special resolution in line with the best practice guidance issued by the Pre-Emption Group, for the directors to allot equity securities and/or sell treasury shares for cash without first being required to offer such securities to existing shareholders. The proposed resolution, which is consistent with the Pre-Emption Group's template resolution and reflects the Statement of Principles, will expire on 30 June 2026 or at the conclusion of the AGM in 2026, whichever is the earlier.

The authority granted by this resolution, if passed, will be limited to the allotment of equity securities and the sale of treasury shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of US\$4,079,904 (representing approximately 10% of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) as at 26 February 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice)), to be used only in connection with an acquisition or other capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles, and which is announced contemporaneously with the allotment, or has taken place in the preceding 12-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the allotment.

The Board has no current plans to use this authority. However, the directors confirm that, should they exercise this authority, they intend to follow best practice as regards its use, including following the shareholder protections in Part 2B of the Statement of Principles.

Summary and explanation of Resolutions continued

21. Authority for the Company to purchase its own shares (special resolution)

Resolution 21 renews an existing share purchase authority which was given to the Company last year. It enables the Company to purchase in the market up to a maximum of 118,997,191 ordinary shares (representing approximately 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, excluding treasury shares, as at 26 February 2025, being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice).

The minimum price which may be paid for any share, exclusive of expenses, is 33/7 US cents (or sterling equivalent) and the maximum price which may be paid for a share, exclusive of expenses, is the higher of:

• (i) an amount equal to 105% of the average of the middle market prices shown in the quotations for the ordinary shares in the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which that ordinary share is purchased; and
• (ii) an amount equal to the higher of the price of the last independent trade of an ordinary share and the highest current independent bid for an ordinary share on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out.

The Board would use the authority sought under Resolution 21 only if it were satisfied that to do so would be in the best interests of shareholders generally and would lead to an increase in the Company's earnings per share. Shares purchased under this authority would be cancelled or held as treasury shares to be sold or cancelled at a later date or used to satisfy awards granted under the Group's share plans as the Board saw fit. If shares were held in treasury, the increase in earnings per share would only be effective until such time as the shares were subsequently sold or used for share awards. If treasury shares were used for share awards, such use would be within the limits on dilution contained in institutional shareholder guidelines. As at 26 February 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice), the Company has 83,977,551 ordinary shares held in treasury. The authority would remain in force until the AGM in 2026 or, if earlier, the close of business on 30 June 2026.

As at 26 February 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice), the total number of ordinary shares that might be issued on the exercise of outstanding options was 28,375,435 which represented approximately 2.38% of the Company's issued share capital, excluding treasury shares, at that date. If the existing authority to purchase the Company's ordinary shares and the authority proposed to be granted under this resolution were exercised in full, these option awards would, assuming no further ordinary shares were issued after that date, represent 2.95% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, excluding treasury shares, as at that date. This percentage would reduce to 2.65% if no further purchases were made under the existing authority but the authority proposed to be granted under Resolution 21 was exercised in full.

Information on the Company's use of the authority to purchase own shares as granted at the AGM in 2024, can be found in Note 20 to the financial statements in the Annual Report.

22. Authority to convene general meetings on 14 clear days' notice (special resolution)

The Company's Articles of Association provide that the minimum notice period for general meetings is 21 clear days unless the Company:

• (i) has passed a special resolution in general meeting approving the holding of a general meeting on 14 clear days' notice; and
• (ii) offers the facility for all shareholders to vote by electronic means.

The directors wish to retain the flexibility to call general meetings on 14 clear days' notice and Resolution 22 seeks to renew their existing authority to do this. The directors will not use the authority as routine and will ensure that it is used only where the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and it is in the interests of shareholders to do so. The renewed authority would remain in force up to the date of the 2026 AGM. The Company provides electronic proxy voting through CREST, Proxymity and through www.shareview.co.uk for all shareholder meetings. Annual General Meetings must and will always be held on at least 21 clear days' notice.

Notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting

The following notes should be read in conjunction with the details set out in the letter from the Chair on the arrangements for attending and asking questions at this year's AGM.

1. Appointment of proxies

A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to different shares. Such proxy or proxies need not be shareholders of the Company. Unless you have registered to receive shareholder documents via email alert, a Form of Proxy will be sent to you by post. To appoint more than one proxy, please obtain the appropriate number of additional Forms of Proxy from the Company's Registrars, EQ, or, if you have received a paper Form of Proxy, photocopy the Form you have received. Appointing a proxy will not prevent you from attending the meeting and voting in person if you so wish.

2. Online proxy voting

As an alternative to returning a paper Form of Proxy, a shareholder may register a proxy appointment and give voting instructions online via the EQ website (www.shareview.co.uk) subject to the terms and conditions shown on the website.

Shareholders already registered with www.shareview. co.uk can log on and appoint a proxy and give voting instructions.

3. Information rights

A person who is not a shareholder, but who has been nominated by a shareholder to enjoy information rights, does not have a right to appoint any proxies. A nominated person may have a right under an agreement with the relevant shareholder to be appointed as a proxy or to have somebody else appointed as a proxy for the meeting. If a nominated person does not have such a right, or has such a right and does not wish to exercise it, they may have a right under an agreement with the relevant shareholder to give instructions as to the exercise of voting rights. Nominated persons are requested to contact the registered holder of their shares (and not the Company) on matters relating to their investments in the Company.

4. Record date for voting

Pursuant to Article 40 of the Companies (Uncertified Securities) (Jersey) Order 1999 and the Company's Articles of Association, the Company specifies that only those shareholders on the shareholder register as at 6.30pm on 7 May 2025 or, if the AGM is adjourned, at 6.30pm on the day two days prior to the adjourned meeting (excluding any day that is not a working day), shall be entitled to attend or vote at the AGM in respect of the number of ordinary shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to the register after 6.30pm on the relevant date shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting or any adjourned meeting.

5. Return date for proxies

To be effective, the Form of Proxy, duly signed, or your online proxy appointment must be sent to the Company's Registrars, EQ, and received no later than 10.00am on 7 May 2025. If you prefer, you may return the Form in an envelope to FREEPOST RTHJ-CLLL-KBKU, Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 8LU.

You are requested to inform EQ in writing of any termination of the authority of a proxy.

6. CREST and Proxymity proxy voting

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 which can be viewed 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. CREST messages must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the Company's agent, EQ, ID RA19, no later than 10.00am on 7 May 2025.
