Explanatory Notes to the Resolutions

Ordinary resolutions

These resolutions require more than 50% of votes cast to be cast in favour in order to be passed.

Special resolutions

These resolutions require at least 75% of votes cast to be cast in favour in order to be passed.

Ordinary business

Resolution 1 – To receive the Accounts for the year ended 31 July 2025, together with the reports of the Directors and Auditors thereon

Under section 437 of the Companies Act 2006, the Directors must present the reports of the Directors and the Accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 July 2025 to the shareholders at the meeting. This is an ordinary resolution and the Board asks that the shareholders receive the Annual Report and Accounts.

Resolution 2 – To approve the Remuneration Report

This is an ordinary resolution, which is advisory only and seeks shareholder approval to the Remuneration Report, shown on pages 124 to 149 of the Annual Report and Accounts.

Resolution 3 – To approve the Remuneration Policy

This is an ordinary resolution and seeks shareholder approval of the Remuneration Policy. After the policy takes effect, the Company will not be able to make a remuneration payment to a current or future Director or a payment for loss of office to a current or past Director unless that payment is consistent with the approved policy or has been approved by a resolution of the shareholders of the Company. A Directors' Remuneration Policy will be put to shareholders again no later than the AGM in 2028.

Resolution 4 – To declare a final dividend of 49.0p per ordinary share for the year ended 31 July 2025

Pursuant to the Board's recommendation, this is an ordinary resolution to declare a final dividend of 49.0p per ordinary share for the year ended 31 July 2025.

Resolutions 5 to 13 – To approve the election and re-election of Directors of the Company

The Existing Articles of Association of the Company require one third of the Directors to retire and submit themselves for re-election. The Board has, however, adopted the provision in the UK Corporate Governance Code whereby all of the Directors are subject to annual re-election. Therefore, all of the Directors will retire and offer themselves for re-election or election as appropriate. These are ordinary resolutions for the shareholders to approve their re-election or election.

The Nomination Committee is content that each non-executive director proposed for re-election or election is independent for the purposes of the UK Corporate Governance Code and there are no relationships or circumstances likely to affect their character or judgement. Biographical details of each of the Directors can be found on pages 88 to 90 of the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 July 2025.

Following formal rigorous evaluation of all of the Directors, the Chair, acting on behalf of the Board, is satisfied as to the effectiveness and commitment of all of the Directors. Further details of the review of Board and Director effectiveness and the Board's review of the independence of the Non-Executive Directors can be found on pages 103 to 107 of the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 July 2025. All Directors are recommended by the Board for re-election or election as applicable.

Resolution 14 – To re-appoint EY as the auditor of the Company

In accordance with section 489 of the Companies Act 2006, the auditors of a company must be appointed or re-appointed before the end of each general meeting at which accounts are laid. This is an ordinary resolution which on the recommendation of the Audit Committee proposes the re-appointment of the Company's existing auditors, EY, until the conclusion of the next general meeting of the Company at which the accounts are laid.

Resolution 15 – To authorise the Audit Committee on behalf of the Board to agree the remuneration of the auditors

This is an ordinary resolution seeking shareholder consent to authorise the Audit Committee on behalf of the Board to agree the remuneration of the auditors.

Special Business

Six resolutions will be proposed as special business. The effect of these resolutions is as follows:

Resolution 16 – Authority to directors to allot shares

This is an ordinary resolution seeking shareholder approval to authorise the Directors to allot ordinary shares up to an aggregate nominal value of £9,916,188 which is equivalent to approximately two-thirds of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, as at 10 October 2025 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice), of which half (being ordinary shares up to a nominal value of £4,958,094), representing approximately one-third of the Company's issued share capital, as at 10 October 2025 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice), may only be allotted in connection with a rights issue or other pre-emptive offer. Such authority, if granted, will expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company (or, if earlier, at the close of business on 29 March 2027). This is in line with the Investment Association's Share Capital Management Guidelines issued in February 2023. As at 10 October 2025 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice), the Company held no shares as treasury shares. At present, the Directors only intend to use this authority to satisfy the exercise of awards under the Company's share schemes. The Directors wish to obtain the necessary authority from shareholders so that allotments can be made (if required and if suitable market conditions arise) at short notice and without the need to convene a general meeting of the Company which would be both costly and time consuming.

Resolutions 17 and 18 – Disapplication of pre-emption rights

These are special resolutions, in substitution for the authority granted to the Directors by shareholders on 12 December 2024, which expire at the conclusion of the forthcoming AGM, that shareholders empower the Directors to allot ordinary shares (or sell any ordinary shares which are held in treasury) for cash without first offering them pro-rata to existing shareholders, as would otherwise be required by section 561 of the Companies Act 2006.

The power set out in Resolution 17 would be limited to (a) rights issues or other pre-emptive offers and (b) (otherwise than in connection with a rights issue or other pre-emptive offer), allotments or sales up to an aggregate nominal value of £1,487,428, being approximately 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 10 October 2025 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice), and (c) allotments or sales up to an additional aggregate nominal amount equal to 20% of any allotments or sales made under (b) (so a maximum of 2%), such power to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer of a kind contemplated by Section 2B of the Pre-emption Group's Statement of Principles published in November 2022 (the 'Preemption Principles').

Resolution 18 is intended to give the Company flexibility to make non-pre-emptive issues of ordinary shares in connection with acquisitions and specified capital investments as contemplated by Pre-emption Principles. The power under Resolution 18 is in addition to that proposed by Resolution 17 and would be limited to: (a) allotments or sales of up to a further aggregate nominal value of £1,487,428, being approximately 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 10 October 2025 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice); and (b) allotments or sales up to an additional aggregate nominal amount equal to 20% of any allotments or sales made under (a) (so a maximum of 2%), such power to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer of a kind contemplated by Section 2B of the Pre-emption Principles.

These disapplication authorities are in line with institutional shareholder guidance and in particular with the Pre-emption Principles. The Directors therefore confirm, in accordance with the Pre-emption Principles, that to the extent of the authority in Resolution 17, it intends that it will follow the shareholder protections in paragraph 1 of Part 2B of the Pre-Emption Principles and, where relevant, follow the expected features of a follow-on offer as set out in paragraph 3 of Part 2B of the Pre-emption Principles.

The renewed authorities will expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company (or, if earlier at the close of business on 29 March 2027).

The Directors have no present intention of exercising the authority in Resolution 17 or in Resolution 18, but consider it prudent to obtain the flexibility that this authority provides.

Resolution 19 – Company's purchase of its own shares

The Company announced an on-market share buyback programme on 14 October 2025. The Company's authority to purchase its own ordinary shares, given at the last AGM, expires at the conclusion of the forthcoming AGM. The Directors propose, as a special resolution, that it should be renewed for a further year to expire on the date of the next AGM (or, if earlier, at the close of business on 29 March 2027). The Directors will review opportunities to use this authority in light of stock market conditions and trading opportunities during the year.

The Directors will only make purchases (which will reduce the number of shares in issue) after paying due attention to the effect on the financing of the Group, its assets and earnings per share for the remaining shareholders. Any shares purchased under this authority may be cancelled (in which case the number of shares in issue will be reduced accordingly) or may be held in treasury.

As at 10 October 2025 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice), there were options outstanding over 1,325,961 ordinary shares, representing 1.11% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital. This includes 591,476 (0.50%) outstanding LTIP awards which can be satisfied from existing shares held in trust rather than by the issue of new shares.

If the authority given by this resolution were to be fully used, these would represent 1.24% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital. As at 10 October 2025 there are no warrants outstanding. Details of any substantial shareholders holding more than 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital are included in the 'Major interests in shares' table on page 152 of the Annual Report.

Resolution 20 – Length of notice of meeting

Shareholder approval for the holding of general meetings of the Company, other than an AGM, on 14 days' notice, given at the last AGM, expires at the conclusion of the forthcoming AGM. The Directors propose, as a special resolution, that it should be renewed for a further year to expire on the date of next year's AGM. There is no current intention to use this authority and the Company will only consider using this authority where it is considered that this would be for the benefit of shareholders as a whole.

Resolution 21 – Articles of Association

The Company proposes adopting the New Articles, in place of the Existing Articles, with effect from the conclusion of the AGM. The changes being introduced in the New Articles are summarised in Appendix 1 of this document and are primarily to increase the Company's flexibility in respect of certain matters, remove duplication and ensure compliance with the Act and reflect developments in market practice since the Existing Articles were last amended.

A copy of the New Articles will be available for inspection on the Company's website at www.bellwayplc.co.uk/investor-centre/ shareholder-information and at the Company's registered office, Woolsington House, Woolsington, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE13 8BF on any weekday (Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays excepted) during normal business hours from the date of this Notice until the close of the AGM. Copies will be made available at the place specified for the AGM for 15 minutes prior to and during the AGM. A copy of the New Articles will also be available on the FCA National Storage Mechanism from the date this Notice is sent out to Shareholders.

Recommendation

Your Board consider each of the resolutions set out in the Notice of AGM to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole, and accordingly they recommend voting in favour of the resolutions as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings in the Company.

Appendix 1

Summary of the principal proposed changes to Existing Articles

The Company's existing Articles of Association were last amended on 11 December 2020 (the 'Existing Articles'). It is proposed in Resolution 21 of the Notice of Annual General Meeting (the "Notice") to adopt the New Articles. In adopting the New Articles, the opportunity has been taken to update the Existing Articles to increase the Company's flexibility in respect of certain matters, remove duplication and ensure compliance with the Act and reflect developments in market practice since the Existing Articles were last amended. The substantive changes being proposed in the New Articles are summarised below. Other changes, which are of a minor, technical or clarifying nature have not been summarised.

A copy of the New Articles are available for inspection, as set out in the explanatory note in respect of Resolution 21 in the Notice.

Save as for otherwise stated, all clause references below relate to clause references in the New Articles.

Share capital

Article 3 of the Existing Articles has been removed, as it relates to Preference Shares which are no longer in existence.

Change of Name (Article 4)

Article 4 is a new article which allows the Board to change the name of the Company.

Share certificates (Articles 14 – 17)

Article 14 requires that share certificates be delivered to shareholders in line with the timing under the Act (two months, as opposed to two weeks as in the Existing Articles). Article 17 is a new article specifying that the Company will not be responsible for any share certificate lost or delayed during delivery.

Calls (Articles 21–27)

If there is a late payment on a call, the maximum interest rate that can be charged has been updated from 15% per annum in the Existing Articles, to the Bank of England base rate plus five percentage points in the New Articles.

Forfeiture (Articles 28–34)

Under the New Articles, notice on forfeiture must specify a date by which payment must be made, which cannot be less than 14 days from the notice (as compared with 7 days under the Existing Articles). If the forfeited shares are sold, Article 32 provides that the Company can receive the consideration from the sale of the shares.

Untraced shareholders (Article 40)

Article 40 has been updated to align with current market practice on contacting untraced shareholders.

Proceedings at general meetings (Articles 51–58)

The time required to wait for a quorum at a general meeting has been reduced from 15 minutes to five minutes (with discretion for the Chair to decide to wait for up to one hour).

Article 56 now provides for a specific entitlement for Directors to attend and speak at a general meeting.

Article 57 allows the Chair to adjourn a meeting, without consent of the meeting, in certain circumstances where it cannot be properly held including situations where members cannot be conveniently accommodated or the conduct of those present prevents the orderly holding of the meeting.

In general, these provisions have also been streamlined for ease of understanding.

Voting (Articles 61–69)

Article 68 is a new article which provides that shareholders who have unpaid sums on their shares will not be able to vote in respect of those shares.

Class meetings (Article 75)

Article 75 is a new article which makes it possible to convene separate class meetings otherwise than for the purposes of varying class rights.

Appointment, retirement and removal of directors (Articles 76–87)

Article 76 increases the maximum number of Directors from 9 to 12.

Article 80 provides for the annual retirement of Directors (previously, it was one third every year) to bring the New Articles in line with the Company's actual practice and the Corporate Governance Code.

Article 85(iv) updates the grounds on which a Director can be removed from office and brings them into line with market practice, allowing the board to determine that a Director's office is vacated on grounds of mental or physical ill-health.

Fees, remuneration, expenses and pensions (Articles 88–91)

Article 88 increases the aggregate fees per annum that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors from £500,000 under the Existing Articles to £750,000 under the New Articles.

Directors may not delegate

Article 124 of the Existing Articles has been removed, as it unnecessarily provided that Directors could not delegate certain powers, except to a duly appointed committee.

Service of notices, documents and other information (Article 130)

Article 130(D) allows the Company to cease sending notices or documents to a shareholder if on two consecutive occasions notices or documents were returned undelivered.

Duplication of the Act

A number of articles in the Existing Articles have been removed or simplified because they were duplicative of requirements under the Act.
