Annual General Meeting

This year's annual general meeting will be held at the offices of Addleshaw Goddard LLP, Milton Gate, 60 Chiswell Street, London EC1Y 4AG on 31 August 2023 at 11:30 am (the AGM). The formal notice of AGM is set out on pages 3 and 4 of this document and contains the proposed resolutions. Explanatory notes to the business to be considered are set out in Appendix 1 to this document on pages 7 and 8, but I would like to draw your attention to the following matters in particular:

AGM format

As permitted by the articles of association of the Company, the AGM will be held as a hybrid meeting again this year, with shareholders invited to join physically at the location of the AGM venue or virtually via the Investor Meet Company Platform.

In order to ensure that shareholders are able to follow the proceedings of the AGM, the Company will provide access online through the Investor Meet Company platform. However, shareholders will not be able to vote online during the AGM and are therefore urged to submit their votes via proxy as early as possible. Shareholders are also invited to submit questions for the board to consider. Questions can be pre‑submitted in advance of the AGM via the Investor Meet Company Platform up to 9:00 am on 30 August 2023, being the day before the AGM, or via the Investor Meet Company Platform at any time during the AGM itself. The Board will respond to key questions during the AGM.

Shareholders who wish to attend the AGM online should register for the event in advance via the following Investor Meet Company link:

https://www.investormeetcompany.com/carclo-plc/ register‑investor

Shareholders who already follow Carclo plc on the Investor Meet Company Platform will be invited automatically.

Voting at the AGM

Whether or not you propose to attend the AGM physically or virtually, please complete and return the enclosed form of proxy. Alternatively, if you are a member of CREST, you may submit a proxy appointment electronically through the CREST voting service. Further details of how to appoint a proxy are set out in the Notes to the notice of AGM on pages 5 and 6. To be valid, your proxy appointment must be received at the address for delivery specified in the Notes by no later than 11:30 am on 29 August 2023. The appointment of a proxy will not stop you from attending the AGM and voting in person should you so wish.

You are encouraged to appoint the Chair of the meeting as your proxy and give your instructions on how you wish the Chair to vote on the proposed resolutions. All proposed resolutions will be put to a vote on a poll. This will result in a more accurate reflection of the views of shareholders by ensuring that every vote is recognised. On a poll, each shareholder has one vote for every share held.

As mentioned previously, shareholders attending the AGM online via the Investor Meet Company Platform, will not be able to vote online during the AGM and are therefore urged to submit their votes via proxy as early as possible.

Recommendation

The Company's board of directors considers that each of the resolutions set out in the notice of AGM are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommends shareholders to vote in favour of them as the directors intend to do in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings (save in respect of those resolutions in which they are interested).

We welcome you to our AGM this year, whether in person or via the Investor Meet Company Platform.

If you are unable to attend in person, we hope that you will appoint a proxy to exercise your right to vote on the day.

Yours faithfully

Joe Oatley Non-Executive Chair

NOTES:

1. A member who is entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint another person (or two or more persons in respect of different shares held by him or her) as his or her proxy to exercise all or any of his or her rights to attend and to speak and vote at the AGM.
1. The right of a member of the Company to attend and vote at the AGM will be determined by reference to the Company's register of members. A member must be registered on that register as the holder of ordinary shares by the close of business on 29 August 2023 in order to be entitled to attend and vote at the meeting as a member in respect of those shares. Changes to entries on the register of members after such time will be disregarded in determining the rights of the person to attend and vote at the AGM. Reference in this Note to the right to attend the AGM shall as regards attendance at the meeting in person be read subject to any legislation temporarily limiting such right.
1. A form for the appointment of a proxy has been provided to members with this document. To be valid, a hard copy proxy appointment form must be completed in accordance with the instructions that accompany it and then delivered (together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed, or a certified copy of such item) to the Company Registrar, Equiniti, at Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 6DA so as to be received by 11:30 am on 29 August 2023.
1. As an alternative to completing the hard copy proxy form, you can appoint a proxy electronically by visiting www.sharevote.co.uk. You will need your voting ID, Task ID and Shareholder Reference Number. Alternatively, if you have already registered with the Company's Registrars' online portfolio, Shareview, you can submit your proxy form at www.shareview.co.uk using your usual user ID and password. Full instructions are given on both websites. To be a valid proxy appointment, the member's electronic message confirming the details of the appointment completed in accordance with those instructions must be transmitted so as to be received by no later than 11:30 am on 29 August 2023. Members who hold their shares in uncertificated form may also use "the CREST voting service" to appoint a proxy electronically, as explained below.
1. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy through the CREST system may do so by using the procedures described in "the CREST voting service" section of the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed one or more voting service providers, 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 a proxy instruction made using the CREST voting service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (CREST proxy appointment instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with the specifications of CREST's operator, Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited (Euroclear), and must contain all the relevant information required by the CREST Manual. To be valid, the message (regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy) must be transmitted so as to be received by Equiniti (ID RA19), as the Company's "issuer's agent", by 11:30 am on 29 August 2023. After this time any change of instruction to a proxy appointed through the CREST system should be communicated to the appointee through other means.

The time of the message's receipt will be taken to be when (as determined by the timestamp applied by the CREST Applications Host) the issuer's agent is first able to retrieve it by enquiry through the CREST system in the prescribed manner. Euroclear does not make available special procedures in the CREST system for transmitting any particular message. Normal system timings and limitations apply in relation to the input of CREST proxy appointment instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or a CREST sponsored member or has appointed any voting service provider(s), to procure that his or her CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as is necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should take into account the provisions of the CREST Manual concerning timings as well as its section on "Practical limitations of the system". In certain circumstances the Company may, in accordance with the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 or the CREST Manual, treat a CREST proxy appointment instruction as invalid.

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 proximity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 11.30 am on 29 August 2023 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.

Appendix 1

Explanatory notes to the business of the AGM

Resolution 1 – Receipt of the audited accounts and reports

The Companies Act 2006 requires the directors of a public company to lay before the company in general meeting copies of the directors' reports, the independent auditors' report and the audited financial statements of the company in respect of each financial year. In accordance with best practice, the Company proposes an ordinary resolution to receive its audited accounts and reports for the financial year ended 31 March 2023 (the 2023 Annual Report).

Resolution 2 – Approval of the directors' remuneration report

In accordance with the Companies Act 2006, shareholders are invited to approve the directors' remuneration report for the financial year ended 31 March 2023.

The directors' remuneration report is set out on pages 76 to 96 of the 2023 Annual Report. For the purposes of this resolution, the directors' remuneration report does not include the part of the report containing the directors' remuneration policy which is set out on pages 77 to 85 of the 2023 Annual Report. The vote on the directors' remuneration report is advisory only and the directors' entitlement to remuneration is not conditional on it being passed.

The Companies Act 2006 requires the directors' remuneration policy to be put to shareholders for approval annually unless the approved policy remains unchanged, in which case it need only be put to shareholders for approval at least every three years. The directors' remuneration policy was last approved by shareholders at the 2021 AGM. The Company is not proposing any changes to the directors' renumeration policy approved at the AGM in 2021.

Resolutions 3 to 7 – Election and re-election of directors

Resolutions 3 to 7 are to be proposed as ordinary resolutions and relate to the election and re-election of the Company's directors.

In accordance with the Company's articles of association and in line with best practice recommendation of the UK Corporate Governance Code, all the directors will retire from office at the AGM and will stand for election and re-election by the shareholders.

The Chair confirms that, following formal performance evaluation, each of the directors standing for re-election continues to be an effective member of the board, to make a positive contribution and to demonstrate commitment to the role. The board believes that the considerable and wide-ranging experience of the directors will continue to be invaluable to the Company.

It is the board's view that each of the Non-Executive Directors standing for re-election brings considerable management experience and independent perspective to the board's discussions and is considered to be independent of management and free from relationships or other circumstances that could affect, or appear to affect, the exercise of their independent judgment. The board has been refreshed during the course of the year, with the appointments of Frank Doorenbosch as Chief Executive Officer, David Bedford as Chief Financial Officer, Joe Oatley as Non-Executive Chair and Rachel Amey as a Non-Executive Director. Nick Sanders and Phil White stepped down from the board during the course of the year, on 5 November 2022 and 14 November 2022 respectively, and the board thank them for their service.

Biographical notes for each of the directors standing for re‑election, including details of their contribution and how it is and continues to be important to the Company's long-term sustainable success, are included at Appendix 2 on pages 9 to 11 of this document.

Resolutions 8 and 9 – Re-appointment and remuneration of the auditors

The Company is required to appoint or re-appoint auditors at each general meeting at which its audited accounts and reports are presented to shareholders.

The Audit Committee has recommended to the board, and the board now proposes to shareholders at Resolution 8, the re‑appointment of Mazars LLP as auditors at the AGM. The Audit Committee has confirmed to the board that its recommendation is free from third party influence and that no restrictive contractual provisions have been imposed on the Company limiting the choice of auditors. Resolution 9 authorises the Audit Committee to determine the auditors' remuneration.

Resolution 10 – Authority to allot shares

The directors currently have a general authority to allot new shares in the Company and to grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any securities into, shares. This authority is, however, due to expire at the AGM and the board would like to renew it to provide the directors with flexibility to allot new shares and grant rights up until the Company's next annual general meeting, within the limits prescribed by The Investment Association.

If passed, this resolution will authorise the directors to allot (or to grant rights over) new shares in the Company in any circumstances up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount of £1,211,417.

This amount represents approximately 33 per cent. of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 18 July 2023 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document). The Company did not hold any shares in treasury as at that date.

The directors do not have any present intention to exercise this authority, however the board considers it prudent to maintain the flexibility that it provides to enable the directors to respond to any appropriate opportunities that may arise. If passed, this authority will expire at the close of business on 30 September 2024 or, if earlier, at the conclusion of the Company's next annual general meeting.

Appendix 1 continued

Explanatory notes to the business of the AGM

Resolution 11 – Disapplication of pre-emption rights

Resolution 11 is a special resolution which, if passed by shareholders, will enable the directors to allot equity securities (such as ordinary shares) in the Company, or to sell any shares out of treasury, for cash, without first offering those equity securities to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings.

In November 2022, the Pre-Emption Group revised its Statement of Principles on the Disapplication of Pre-emption Rights. The revised Principles make a number of changes designed to improve capital raising processes for publicly traded companies by, among other matters, increasing the "routine" disapplication thresholds and introducing new supplemental disapplication thresholds.

The Principles now provide that a company may seek power to issue, on a non-pre-emptive basis, shares for cash in any one year representing: (i) no more than 10 per cent. (previously 5 per cent.) of the company's issued ordinary share capital for use in any circumstances; and (ii) no more than an additional 10 per cent. (previously 5 per cent.) of the company's issued ordinary share capital provided that such additional power is only used in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment which is announced contemporaneously with the issue, or which has taken place in the preceding 12 month period (previously 6 months) and is disclosed in the announcement of the issue.

The Principles also provide that, in both cases (i) and (ii) outlined above, a company may now seek a further power to issue, on a non‑pre‑emptive basis, shares for cash representing no more than 2 per cent. of the company's issued ordinary share capital for the purposes of making a "follow-on" offer (being an offer of a kind contemplated by the Principles) to certain retail investors and existing shareholders.

The board has carefully considered the increased and supplemental thresholds available under the revised Principles, and has concluded that, for the time being, it continues to be in the best interests of the company and its shareholders to seek a disapplication power similar in both scope and level to that sought by the company in previous years.

Accordingly, if passed by shareholders, this resolution 11 will permit the board to allot ordinary shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis both in connection with a rights issue or similar pre-emptive issue and, otherwise than in connection with any such issue, up to a maximum nominal amount of £183,548. This amount represents approximately five per cent. of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 18 July 2023 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document). This resolution will permit the board to allot ordinary shares for cash, up to the specified level, in any circumstances.

The directors do not have any present intention of exercising this power if granted but believe that it is in the best interests of shareholders to have the flexibility, in those limited circumstances, to allot shares or to sell treasury shares for cash. The board confirms that, in exercising this power, it will follow the shareholder protections and features set out in Part 2B of the Principles.

The Company does not intend to seek at the AGM any additional power to allot equity securities for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis for use in connection with acquisitions and capital investments.

Resolution 12 – Purchase of own shares

This special resolution, if passed, will authorise the Company to make market purchases of its own ordinary shares up until the close of business on 30 September 2024 or, if earlier, the Company's next annual general meeting, subject to specific conditions relating to price and volume.

The maximum number of ordinary shares which may be purchased under this authority is 7,341,919, representing approximately ten per cent. of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 18 July 2023 (being the latest date prior to publication of this document).

The minimum price which could be paid for a share would be its nominal value and the maximum price would be that permitted by the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules or, in case of a tender offer, five per cent. above the average of the middle market quotations for an ordinary share as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which the terms of the tender offer are announced. In each case, the minimum and maximum prices exclude expenses.

The directors have no present intention of exercising this authority if granted, but wish to have the flexibility to do so in the future.

Shares would only be purchased if the directors believed that to do so would result in an improvement in earnings per share and would be in the best interests of shareholders generally. Any purchases would be made through the London Stock Exchange and purchased shares would be cancelled (in which case the number of shares in issue would thereby be reduced) or, alternatively, held in treasury, depending on which course of action is considered by the directors to be in the best interests of the shareholders at that time.

As at 18 July 2023, there were options or rights outstanding to subscribe for 1,633,980 new ordinary shares in the Company.

This represented 2.23 per cent. of the Company's issued ordinary share capital at that date and would represent 2.23 per cent. of the Company's issued ordinary share capital if the authority being sought had been exercised in full at that date.

Resolution 13 – Notice of general meetings

The Companies Act 2006 provides that the Company may call general meetings (other than annual general meetings) on not less than 14 clear days' notice where it has met certain conditions. In order to do so, shareholders must first approve the calling of such meetings on shorter notice. This special resolution seeks such approval. The approval, if given, would be effective until the Company's next annual general meeting.

The shorter notice period would not be used as a matter of routine for general meetings, but only where it is merited by the business of the meeting and is considered to be in the interests of shareholders as a whole. The Company's annual general meetings will continue to be called by notice of at least 21 clear days.
