Form of Proxy - Annual General Meeting ('AGM') of FBD Holdings plc to be held on 8 May 2025

  • 1. Every holder has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice, who need not be a shareholder as his proxy to exercise all or any of his rights, to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting. If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman, please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided (see reverse). A Shareholder may appoint more than one proxy to attend and vote at the meeting provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares held by that Shareholder. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the box next to the proxy holder's name (see reverse) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If left blank your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement (or if this proxy form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account). Where a poll is taken at the AGM, a Shareholder, present in person or proxy, holding more than one share is not required to cast all their votes in the same way.
  • 2. To appoint more than one proxy, an additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Registrar's helpline on +353 1 447 5101 or you may photocopy the reverse only of this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name (see reverse) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. Please also indicate by ticking the box provided if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.
  • 3. To be effective, the completed Form of Proxy together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is executed, or a notarially certifi ed copy thereof, must be deposited with the Registrar of the Company before the deadline set out above. A Shareholder wishing to appoint a proxy by electronic means may do so on the Registrar's website www.eproxyappointment.com. Details of the requirements are set out above.

  • 5. Pursuant to Section 1105 of the Companies Act, 2014, entitlement to attend and vote at the meeting and the number of votes which may be cast thereat will be determined by reference to the Register of Members of the Company at 6:00 p.m. on the day which is four days before the date of the meeting or if the AGM is adjourned, at 6:00 p.m. on the day which is four days before the date appointed for the adjourned meeting.
