You can appoint another person (a proxy) to attend, speak, and/or vote at the AGM, whether in person, or online through the Lumi website, on your behalf. Regardless of whether or not you intend to attend the AGM in person or online, we strongly encourage you to appoint the Chair of the AGM to act as your proxy to ensure your vote is counted. Details of how to appoint a proxy are set out opposite.

You can find full details of the resolutions to be proposed for approval at the AGM, with explanatory notes, in the Notice of meeting 2023 which is available online at bt.com/agm

Please read the notes overleaf before completing this proxy card.

You can appoint a proxy to attend the AGM, speak, and/or vote, whether in person or online through the Lumi website, on your behalf. Your proxy does not need to be a shareholder and appointing a proxy will not prevent you from attending, speaking and voting at the AGM in person or online. Regardless of whether or not you intend to attend the AGM in person or online, we strongly encourage you to appoint the Chair of the AGM, as opposed to any other person, to act as your proxy to ensure your vote is counted (if, for instance, you or that other person are not able to attend the AGM in person or online).

The Chair of the AGM will be appointed as your proxy unless you delete the words 'Adam Crozier' or failing him the correctly appointed Chair of the AGM' and insert the name and address of your proxy in the box below.

Please submit your proxy appointment and voting instructions online (or by post) to our share registrar, Equiniti, by 2:00pm on Tuesday 11 July 2023.
