Notes

Shareholders entitled to attend, speak, and vote at this meeting may appoint one or more proxies to attend and, on a poll, vote in their place. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. If a shareholder appoints more than one proxy to attend this meeting, each proxy must be appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by the shareholder. If a shareholder wishes to appoint more than one proxy, he/she may photocopy the Form of Proxy or (an) additional Form(s) of Proxy may be obtained by visiting the Company's Registrar's, Equiniti, website at www.shareview.co.uk.
Any person to whom this Notice is sent who is a person nominated under section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 to enjoy information rights (a "Nominated Person") may, under an agreement between him/her and the shareholder by whom he/she was nominated (the "Relevant Member"), have a right to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy for the AGM. If a Nominated Person has no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it, he/she may, under any such agreement, have a right to give instructions to the Relevant Member as to the exercise of voting rights. Your main point of contact in terms of your investment in the Company remains the Relevant Member (or, perhaps, your custodian or broker) and you should continue to contact them (and not the Company) regarding any changes or queries relating to your personal details and your interest in the Company (including any administrative matters). The only exception to this is where the Company expressly requests a response from you. The statement of the rights of shareholders in relation to the appointment of proxies in note 1 above does not apply to Nominated Persons. The rights described in that paragraph can only be exercised by shareholders of the Company.
Only those members entered on the register of members of the Company at 6.30pm on 20 April 2026 (or, if the AGM is adjourned, at 6.30pm on the date which is two business days prior to the adjourned meeting, excluding any part of a day which is not a working day), shall be entitled to attend or vote at the aforesaid meeting in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to entries on the register of members after 6.30pm on 20 April 2026 (or, if the AGM is adjourned, at 6.30pm on the date which is two business days prior to the adjourned meeting, excluding any part of a day which is not a working day) shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote (and the number of votes they may cast) at the AGM or adjourned meeting.
A Form of Proxy is enclosed with this Notice. In order to be valid, a Form of Proxy must be returned duly completed (together with the original or a duly certified copy of the power of attorney or other authority, if applicable, under which it is signed) by one of the following methods no later than 3.30pm on 20 April 2026 (or 48 hours preceding the date and time for any adjourned meeting, excluding any part of a day which is not a working day):

Completing and returning the Form of Proxy will not preclude shareholders from attending and voting in person at the AGM should they wish to do so.

If you return paper and electronic proxy instructions, those received last by the Registrar before the latest time for receipt of proxies will take precedence. You are advised to read the website terms and conditions of use carefully.

In particular, you may not use any electronic address provided either in this Notice or in any related documents (including the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 or the Form of Proxy) to communicate with the Company for any purpose other than those expressly stated.

NOTE FOR CREST SHAREHOLDERS: Electronic proxy appointment through CREST

CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the meeting and any adjournment(s) thereof by using the procedures described in the CREST manual. 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.

In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST proxy instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK and Ireland's ("EUI") specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST manual which can be viewed at www.euroclear.com. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or to 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 Company's agent, Equiniti Limited, (CREST Participant ID RA19) by 3.30pm on 20 April 2026 (or 48 hours preceding the date and time for any adjourned meeting, excluding any part of a day which is not a working day). 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 Company's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.

CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that EUI does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST proxy instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member, or has appointed a voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST proxy instruction in the circumstances set out in 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

NOTE FOR INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS: Electronic proxy appointment through Proxymity

If you are an institutional investor you may be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the Registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 3.30pm on 20 April 2026 (or 48 hours preceding the date and time for any adjourned meeting, excluding any part of a day which is not a working day) in order to be considered valid. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's associated terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by them and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy.

Auditors (Resolutions 16 and 17)

The Company is required, at each AGM at which accounts are presented, to appoint auditors to hold office until the next such meeting. EY has indicated its willingness to continue in office and details of the Audit Committee's assessment of EY's effectiveness and independence are included on pages 136 and 137 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2025, available on the Company's website at www.beazley.com. Accordingly, Resolution 16 proposes the re-appointment of EY as the auditors to the Company following the recommendation of the Audit Committee until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting in 2027.

Resolution 17 authorises the Audit Committee to determine EY's remuneration.

Resolutions to approve Beazley plc Share Plans (Resolution 18)

Shareholder approval is also sought for an amendment to the rules of the Beazley plc Long Term Incentive Plan 2022 (the "LTIP"). The amendment is to increase the individual limit (being the maximum value of an award on grant) from a maximum of 300 per cent, to a maximum of 500 per cent, of a participant's base salary. The LTIP will continue to provide that, to the extent any award exceeds this limit, such award shall be scaled back accordingly. All other rules of the LTIP remain unchanged.

Authority of Directors to allot shares (Resolution 19)

Under the Companies Act 2006, the Directors may only allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares if authorised to do so by the shareholders in a general meeting. Accordingly, Resolution 19 seeks to grant an authority under section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 to authorise the Directors to allot shares in the Company or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares in the Company. This resolution will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or, if earlier, 22 July 2027. Upon the passing of this resolution, the Board will have authority (pursuant to paragraph (a) of the resolution) to allot relevant securities up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount of £9,991,831 representing approximately one third of the current issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 3 March 2026, being the latest practicable date before the publication of this Notice. In addition, in accordance with the latest institutional guidelines from the Investment Association ("IA") on the expectations of institutional investors in relation to the authority of Directors to allot shares, upon the passing of this resolution the Board will have authority (pursuant to paragraph (b) of the resolution) to allot an additional number of ordinary shares up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount of £19,983,663 which represents approximately an additional one third of the current issued ordinary share capital as at 3 March 2026 being the latest practicable date before the publication of this Notice. However, the Directors will only be able to allot those shares for the purposes of a pre-emptive offer in which the new shares are offered to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings (with exclusions to deal with fractional entitlements to shares and overseas shareholders to whom the offer cannot be made due to legal and practical problems).

As a result, if this resolution is passed, the Board could allot shares representing up to two-thirds of the current issued ordinary share capital pursuant to a pre-emptive offer.

There is no present intention of exercising this authority except in connection with the Company's employee share schemes. However, it is considered prudent to maintain the flexibility that this authority provides. If they do exercise the authority, the Directors intend to follow emerging best practice as regards its use as recommended by the IA.

As of 3 March 2026, being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice, the Company did not hold any treasury shares.

Disapplication of pre-emption rights (Resolution 20)

Under section 561(1) of the Companies Act 2006, if the Directors wish to exercise the authority under Resolution 19 and allot any shares for cash, or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert securities into, shares, they must offer them in the first instance to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings. In certain circumstances, it may be in the best interests of the Company to allot new shares (or to grant rights over shares) for cash without first offering them to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings. This cannot be done under the Companies Act 2006 unless the shareholders have first waived their pre-emption rights.

Resolution 20, which is to be proposed as a special resolution and which is conditional on Resolution 19 having been passed, asks the shareholders to do this by allowing the Directors to allot shares (including treasury shares) for cash (i) by way of a pre-emptive offer in which the new shares are offered to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings; and (ii) up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount of £1,498,774; which is equivalent to 5 per cent of the nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company on 3 March 2026, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice, without having to first offer them to shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings.

If given, the authority contained in Resolution 20 will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting in 2027 or, if earlier, 22 July 2027. The Directors intend to renew such power at subsequent Annual General Meetings in accordance with current best practice.

The disapplication authority under Resolution 20 is within the guidance set out in the Pre-Emption Group's 2022 Statement of Principles. The Directors have no current plans to allot shares, except in connection with employee share schemes.

Authority for the Company to purchase its own shares (Resolution 21)

This resolution gives the Company the authority to buy back Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. The maximum aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that may be purchased pursuant to this authority will be limited to 59,950,991 Ordinary Shares, which represents approximately 10 per cent of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 3 March 2026, being the latest practicable date before the publication of this Notice. The authority would expire at the conclusion of the 2027 Annual General Meeting or, if earlier, 22 July 2027. The Board intends to seek renewal of this power at subsequent Annual General Meetings in accordance with current best practice.

The minimum price (excluding expenses) that may be paid by the Company for an Ordinary Share is its nominal value and the maximum price which may be paid by the Company for an Ordinary Share is the higher of:

(a) an amount (excluding expenses) equal to 105 per cent of the average of the middle market quotations of an Ordinary Share (as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List) for the five business days immediately preceding the date on which that Ordinary Share is contracted to be purchased; and
(b) an amount (excluding expenses) equal to the higher of (i) the price of the last independent trade of an Ordinary Share; and (ii) the highest current independent bid for an Ordinary Share on the London Stock Exchange at the time the purchase is carried out.

Any buy back of Ordinary Shares would be made on the London Stock Exchange.

The Directors will exercise this power only when, in the light of market conditions prevailing at the time, they believe that the effect of such purchases will be likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its shareholders as a whole. The Directors consider it to be desirable for this general authority to be available to provide flexibility in the management of the Company's capital resources over the next 12 months. In addition, other investment opportunities, appropriate gearing levels and the overall position of the group will also be taken into account when determining whether to exercise this authority.

The Company may hold in treasury any of its own shares that it purchases pursuant to the authority conferred by this resolution. This gives the Company the ability to reissue treasury shares quickly and cost-effectively and provides the Company with greater flexibility in the management of its capital base. It also gives the Company the opportunity to satisfy employee share scheme awards with treasury shares. Accordingly, if the Directors exercise the authority conferred by this resolution, the Company will have the option of holding those shares in treasury, rather than cancelling them. The Directors will have regard to any guidelines published by investor groups in force at the time of any market purchase, holding or resale of treasury shares.

In the financial year ended 31 December 2025, the Company purchased and cancelled 42,728,258 of its own shares. In the period from 1 January 2026 to 3 March 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice), the Company did not purchase any of its own shares.

The total number of options to subscribe for shares outstanding as at 3 March 2026, being the latest practicable date before the publication of this Notice, was 18,316,907. This represents 3.1 per cent of the issued share capital at that date. If the Company was to buy back the maximum number of Ordinary Shares permitted pursuant to this resolution, then the total number of options to subscribe for Ordinary Shares outstanding at 3 March 2026 would represent 3.4 per cent of the reduced share capital.

Notice period for general meetings (Resolution 22)

The Companies Act 2006 sets the notice period for general meetings to 21 clear days unless shareholders approve a shorter period, which cannot be less than 14 clear days. Resolution 22 seeks the approval of shareholders to grant the authority to be able to call general meetings (other than an Annual General Meeting) on not less than 14 clear days' notice. The flexibility offered by Resolution 22 will be used where, taking into account the circumstances, the Directors consider this appropriate in relation to the business to be considered at the meeting and in the interests of the Company and shareholders as a whole. In doing so, the Directors will note the recommendations of the UK Corporate Governance Code.

The Company will meet the requirements for electronic voting under the Companies Act 2006 before calling a general meeting on less than 21 clear days' notice. If given, the approval will be effective until the Company's next Annual General Meeting, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed.

APPENDIX 1

Summary of the Beazley plc Long Term Incentive Plan 2022

The terms of the Beazley plc Long Term Incentive Plan 2022 (the 'Plan') are summarised below.

Operation

The Plan will be administered by the board of directors of the Company or by any duly authorised committee of it (the "Board"). Decisions in relation to any participation in the Plan by the Company's executive directors will always be taken by the Company's Remuneration Committee. Any employee of the Company's group ("Group") is eligible to participate at the Board's discretion.

Grant of Awards

Awards may be granted by the Board as conditional awards of, or nil-cost options over, ordinary shares in the Company ("Shares").

Awards can only be granted in the six weeks following the day on which the Plan is approved by shareholders, the announcement by the Company of its results for any period, any day on which a restriction on the grant of awards is lifted or any day on which the Board determines that exceptional circumstances exist which justify the grant of awards. Awards are not transferable except on death and will not form part of pensionable earnings.

Performance Conditions

Unless the Board determines otherwise, the vesting of awards will be subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions. Awards granted to Executive Directors, other than on recruitment, must always be subject to performance conditions. The period over which any performance condition will be assessed will, unless the Board determines otherwise, be not less than three years. Awards may also be subject to meeting any shareholding requirement imposed by the Board.

Any performance condition may be amended or substituted if one or more events occur which cause the Board to consider that an amended or substituted performance condition would be more appropriate and would not be materially less difficult to satisfy.

Details of the performance conditions applicable to the awards proposed to be granted to the Company's executive directors are set out in the Directors' Remuneration Report set out on pages 144 to 181 of the Company's annual report and accounts.

Individual Limit

Save in respect of a recruitment award, awards will not be granted to a participant under the Plan in respect of any financial year of the Company over Shares with a market value (as determined by the Board) in excess of the applicable limit set out in the Policy.

Overall Limits

In any ten year period, the number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan and any other employee share plan adopted by the Company may not exceed 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company from time to time.

In addition, in any ten year period, the number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan and any other discretionary employee share plan adopted by the Company may not exceed 5% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company from time to time.

Treasury Shares will be treated as newly issued for the purpose of these limits until such time as guidelines published by institutional investor representative bodies determine otherwise.

Vesting, Exercise and Release of Awards

Awards subject to performance conditions will normally vest as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the performance period (or on such later date as the Board determines) to the extent that the performance conditions have been satisfied.

The Board may reduce (including by reducing to nil) the extent to which an award vests, if it considers that the vesting level does not reflect the underlying financial or non-financial performance of the participant or the Group over the vesting period, the vesting level is not appropriate in the context of circumstances that were unexpected or unforeseen when the award was granted, or there exists any other reason why an adjustment is appropriate (the "underpin").

In addition, the Board may determine that a vested award will be subject to an additional “holding period” (a “Holding Period”) during which Shares subject to an award will not be delivered to participants and at the end of which awards will be “released” (i.e. participants will be entitled to receive their Shares under their awards). The release of an award may be subject to the participant complying with any shareholding requirements imposed by the Board. The Board will determine the length of the Holding Period (which will start on the date an award vests), provided that the Holding Period will, for awards granted to the Company’s executive directors, normally end no earlier than the fifth anniversary of the grant date.

Nil-cost options will then normally be exercisable from the point of vesting (or, where relevant, release) until the tenth anniversary of the grant date. At any time before the point at which an award has vested/been released, or a nil-cost option has been exercised, the Board may decide to pay a participant a cash amount equal to the value of the Shares they would have otherwise received.

Dividend Equivalent Payments

The Board may decide to award dividend equivalent payments in respect of the Shares that vest under awards in respect of dividends paid in the period between grant and vesting (or, where relevant, release). Dividend equivalents may be paid in Shares or cash and may assume the reinvestment of the dividends in Shares.

Leavers

Awards will usually lapse on the individual’s cessation of office or employment with the Group except where cessation is as a result of the individual’s death, ill health, injury or disability, where the participant’s employer is no longer a member of the Group, or for any other reason that the Board determines, except where a participant is summarily dismissed (“Good Leavers”).

If a participant dies, an unvested award will, unless the Board determines otherwise, vest and be released at the time of the participant’s death to the extent that the Board determines. The Board will take into account the satisfaction of any performance condition, the underpin and, unless it determines otherwise, the proportion of the period of time between grant and the normal vesting date that has elapsed. A participant’s personal representatives will normally have 12 months from the participant’s death to exercise any vested and released nil-cost options.

Unvested awards held by other Good Leavers will usually continue until the normal vesting date (or where an award is subject to a Holding Period, the end of the Holding Period), unless the Board determines that the award will vest (and be released) as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of cessation. Nil-cost options will normally be exercisable for six months after vesting (or, where relevant, release). The Board will take into account the satisfaction any performance condition, the underpin and, unless it determines otherwise, the proportion of the period of time between grant and the normal besting date that has elapsed.

If a participant ceases to be an officer or employee of the Group during a Holding Period, his award will normally be released at the end of the Holding Period, unless the Board determines that it should be released as soon as reasonably practicable following his cessation of office or employment. However, if a participant is summarily dismissed during a Holding Period, his award will lapse immediately. Nil-cost options will normally be exercisable for six months after release.

If a participant ceases to be an officer or employee of the Group whilst holding a vested nil-cost option which is not (or is no longer) subject to a Holding Period, he will normally have six months from his cessation of office or employment to exercise that nil-cost option, unless he is summarily dismissed, in which case his nil-cost option will lapse immediately.

Malus and Clawback

Where the Board considers that any of the following have occurred it may, at any time prior to vesting, reduce awards (to zero if appropriate) or impose additional conditions on the vesting of awards:

a participant has engaged in conduct justifying summary dismissal;
an exceptional development (as listed below) which has a material adverse impact on the Company or any other member of the Group has taken place; or
forfeiture of all of part of an award is necessary to comply with any law or regulatory requirement.

An exceptional development includes, but is not limited to:

any extreme financial loss which is so material it has a significant impact on the Company’s share price or the share price of any holding company of the Company;
any reputational damage;
a material failure of risk management;
a material restatement in any of the group accounts;
any significant sanction from any government agency or regulatory authority; and
a material corporate failure in any group company or relevant business unit; or
any other circumstances that the Board, in its discretion, considers to be similar in their nature or effect.

In addition, in relation to awards granted to Executive Directors only, where the Board determines that any of the following circumstances applies:

a material misstatement of the consolidated financial results of the Company or any other member of the Group in respect of a financial year in the performance period to which the award related;
gross misconduct on the part of the participant;
an error in assessing a performance condition applicable to some or all of an award or in assessing the information on which some or all of the award was granted or vested;
serious reputational damage to any group company or relevant business unit;
a material corporate failure in any group company or relevant business unit, or
any other circumstances that the Board, in its discretion, considers to be similar in their nature or effect,

then during the period commencing on the grant date (or, where the award is subject to a performance condition, the start of the performance period) and ending on the second anniversary of the vesting date, the Board may:

reduce awards (to zero if appropriate) or impose additional conditions on the awards at any time prior to the vesting or release; and/or
require that the participant must either return some or all of the Shares acquired under an award or make a cash payment to the Company in respect of the Shares delivered on vesting or exercise of an Award.

Where an investigation in the action or conduct of a participant, the Company or any member of the Group has been commenced, the period during which malus and clawback may be applied may be extended by such period as the Board considers appropriate.

Corporate Events

In the event of a change of control of the Company, unvested awards will vest to the extent determined by the Board, taking into account the extent to which any performance condition has been satisfied, the underpin and the proportion of the period of time between grant and the normal vesting date that has elapsed at the date of the relevant event. Awards to the extent vested will then be released.

Alternatively, the Board may permit awards to be exchanged for shares in the acquiring company. If the change of control is an internal reorganisation of the Group or if the Board so decides, participants will be required to exchange their awards (rather than awards vesting/being released as part of the transaction).

If other corporate events occur such as a winding-up of the Company, demerger, delisting, special dividend or other event which, in the opinion of the Board, may affect the current or future value of Shares, the Board may determine that awards will vest taking into account the satisfaction of any performance condition and, unless the Board determines otherwise, the proportion of the period of time between grant and the normal vesting date that has elapsed at the date of the relevant event.

Adjustment of Awards

The Board may adjust the number of Shares under an award or any performance condition applicable to an award in the event of a variation of the Company's share capital or any demerger, delisting, special dividend or other event which, in the opinion of the Board, may affect the current or future value of Shares.

Amendments

The Board may amend the Plan at any time, provided that prior approval of the Company's shareholders will be required for amendments to the advantage of eligible employees or participants relating to eligibility, limits, the basis for determining a participant's entitlement to, and the terms of, the Shares comprised in an award and the impact of any variation of capital.

However, any minor amendment to benefit the administration of the Plan, to take account of legislative changes, or to obtain or maintain favourable tax, exchange control or regulatory treatment may be made by the Board without shareholder approval.

Satisfying Awards and Termination of Plan

Awards may be satisfied using newly issued Shares, Shares held in treasury or Shares purchased in the market. Awards may not be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of its approval by shareholders.
