ADMISSION CARD

2018 Annual General Meeting of Britvic plc to be held at 11.00am on

Wednesday, 31 January 2018 at Linklaters LLP, One Silk Street, London EC2Y 8HQ

Attendance at Annual General Meeting

If you attend the Meeting, bring this card with you to show as evidence of your right to be admitted.

Notes:

    1. Only holders of ordinary shares, or their duly appointed representatives, are entitled to attend and vote at the meeting. A member so entitled may appoint (a) proxy(ies), who need not be (a) member(s), to attend, speak and vote on his/her behalf. If you wish to restrict the rights of your proxies, please cross out either the words "speak" or "vote" as you feel appropriate where indicated by an asterisk. 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).
    1. To appoint more than one proxy, (an) additional Form(s) of Proxy may be obtained by contacting the Registrars helpline on 0371 384 2550* (UK caller) or +44 (0)121 415 7019 (non-UK caller) or you may photocopy 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. Any alterations to a Form of Proxy should be initialled by you.
    1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, please insert his/her name and delete 'the Chairman of the Meeting or'.
    1. Please indicate with an 'X' in the boxes provided how you wish your vote to be cast. Unless otherwise instructed, the person appointed a proxy will exercise his/her discretion as to how he/she votes or whether he/she abstains from voting on any particular resolution and on any other business (including amendments to resolutions and any procedural business), which may come before the Meeting.
    1. The 'Withheld' option on the Form of Proxy 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 votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.
    1. If you complete and return the Form of Proxy this will not prevent you from attending in person and voting at the Meeting should you subsequently decide to do so.
    1. If the Form of Proxy is signed by someone else on your behalf, their authority to sign must be returned with the Form of Proxy. A corporation must seal the Form of Proxy or have it signed by an officer or attorney or other person authorised to sign whose capacity should be stated in accordance with Section 44 of the Companies Act 2006.
    1. In the case of joint holders, only one need sign this Form of Proxy, but the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders. For this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Members in respect of the joint holding.
    1. To be valid the Form of Proxy must reach the Company's Registrar, Equiniti, by no later than 11.00am on Monday, 29 January 2018 . Lodgement of a Form of Proxy does not prevent a member from attending the Meeting in person.

10. If you prefer to return the Form of Proxy in an envelope, then please do so using the following address: FREEPOST RTHJ-CLLL-KBKU, Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, BN99 8LU. A stamp is not required if posted in Great Britain, Channel Islands or Northern Ireland.

The Voting ID, Task ID and Shareholder Reference Number shown opposite will be required to complete the procedure.
