This power:
• (a) expires (unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting) at the end of the next annual general meeting of the Company after the date on which this resolution is passed (or, if earlier, at the close of business on 21 June 2020), but the Company may make an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after expiry of this power and the directors may allot equity securities in pursuance of that offer or agreement as if this power had not expired; and

This power applies in relation to a sale of shares which is an allotment of equity securities by virtue of section 560(3) of the Act as if in the first paragraph of this resolution the words "pursuant to the authority conferred by resolution 14 in the notice of the meeting" were omitted.

• 1. That, subject to the passing of resolution 14 in the notice of the meeting and in addition to any power given to them pursuant to resolution 15 in the notice of the meeting, the directors be generally empowered pursuant to section 570 and section 573 of the Act to allot equity securities (as defined in the Act) for cash, pursuant to the authority conferred by resolution 14 in the notice of the meeting as if section 561(1) of the Act did not apply to the allotment. This power:
• (a) expires (unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting) at the end of the next annual general meeting of the Company after the date on which this resolution is passed (or, if earlier, at the close of business on 21 June 2020), but the Company may make an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after expiry of this power and the directors may allot equity securities in pursuance of that offer or agreement as if this power had not expired; and
• (b) in the case of the authority granted under resolution 14(a)(i) (A) shall be limited to the allotment of equity securities for cash up to an aggregate nominal amount of £140,003 and provided that the allotment is for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the power is used within six months of the original transaction) a transaction which the directors determine to be an acquisition or other capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-emption Group prior to the date of the notice of the meeting.

This power applies in relation to a sale of shares which is an allotment of equity securities by virtue of section 560(3) of the Act as if in the first paragraph of this resolution the words "pursuant to the authority conferred by resolution 14 in the notice of the meeting" were omitted.

• 1. That the Company be and is hereby generally and unconditionally authorised for the purposes of section 701 of the Act to make market purchases (within the meaning of section 693(4) of the Act) of any of its ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Shares") on such terms and in such manner as the directors may from time to time determine, and where such Shares are held as treasury shares, the Company may use them for the purposes of its employee share schemes, provided that:
• (a) the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be purchased is 28,000,692;
• (b) the minimum price (exclusive of expenses) which may be paid for a Share is the nominal value thereof;
• (c) the maximum price (exclusive of expenses) which may be paid for a Share is the higher of:
  • (i) an amount equal to 105 per cent of the average of the middle market quotations for a Share as derived from the Daily Official List of the London Stock Exchange plc for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which such Share is contracted to be purchased; and
  • (ii) an amount equal to the higher of the price of the last independent trade of a Share and the highest current independent bid for a Share on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out,

and (unless previously renewed, revoked or varied), this authority shall expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company after the passing of this resolution or on 21 June 2020 (whichever is the earlier), save that the Company may make a contract to purchase Shares which would or might be executed wholly or partly after the expiry of this authority, and may make purchases of Shares pursuant to it as if this authority had not expired.

All previous unutilised authorities to make market purchases of Shares are revoked, except in relation to the purchase of Shares under a contract or contracts concluded before the date of this resolution and where such purchase has not yet been executed.

1. That the Company be and is hereby generally and unconditionally authorised, from the date of the passing of this resolution and expiring at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company, to hold general meetings (other than Annual General Meetings) on not less than fourteen clear days' notice.

Notes on resolutions

Resolutions 1 to 14 are proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution. Resolutions 15 to 18 are proposed as special resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, at least three quarters of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution.

Resolution 1

The directors are required to present to the meeting the audited accounts and the reports of the directors and the auditor for the financial year ended 31 October 2018.

The annual report and accounts can be accessed on the Company's website (www.chemring.co.uk) or shareholders may obtain a copy by contacting the Company Secretary at the Company's registered office during usual business hours.

Resolutions 2 and 3

In accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act"), the directors' remuneration report in the 2018 annual report and accounts contains:

• ^J a statement by Andrew Davies, the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee;
• ^J the directors' remuneration policy in relation to future payments to current and former directors; and
• ^J the annual implementation report on directors' remuneration, which details payments made to directors during the year ended 31 October 2018.

The directors' remuneration policy is subject to a binding vote by shareholders at least every three years. The policy is set out on pages 68 to 75 of the directors' remuneration report in the 2018 annual report and accounts, and an explanation of the changes from the policy approved by shareholders at the 2016 Annual General Meeting is set out on page 66. Shareholders will have a binding vote on this resolution. If resolution 2 is passed, the policy will become binding immediately after the Annual General Meeting on 21 March 2019. Thereafter, the Company will not be able to make any remuneration payment to a current or prospective director or a payment for loss of office to a current or past director, unless that payment is consistent with the policy or has been approved by a resolution of shareholders.

If the directors' remuneration policy is approved and remains unchanged, it will be valid for up to three years without new shareholder approval unless the annual implementation report on directors' remuneration (excluding the remuneration policy) is not approved by shareholders when put to an ordinary resolution prior to the expiry of the three-year period. If the policy is not approved for any reason, the Company will, if and to the extent permitted by the Act, continue to make payments to directors in accordance with the existing policy and will seek shareholder approval for a further revised policy as soon as is practicable.

Resolution 3 is the ordinary resolution to approve the annual implementation report on directors' remuneration, other than the part containing the directors' remuneration policy. This resolution is an advisory vote and does not affect the future remuneration paid to any director.

Resolution 4

Shareholders must approve the final dividend payable for each ordinary share held. The final dividend declared cannot exceed the amount recommended by the directors. If approved, the dividend will be paid on 18 April 2019 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 5 April 2019.

KPMG was selected as the Group's new external auditor following completion of a tender process undertaken by the Audit Committee. KPMG's appointment as external auditor is unanimously recommended by the Audit Committee.

Resolution 14

The directors of the Company may only allot shares if authorised to do so by the shareholders in general meeting. This resolution, if passed, will grant new authority under section 551 of the Act and will give the directors flexibility to act in the best interests of shareholders, when opportunities arise, by issuing new ordinary shares. Paragraph (A) of the resolution authorises the directors to allot ordinary shares, and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares, up to an aggregate nominal amount of £933,356, which represents approximately one third of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company (exclusive of treasury shares) as at 5 February 2019 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice). Paragraph (B) of the resolution authorises the directors to allot, including the shares referred to in paragraph (A) of the resolution, further of the Company's shares, and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares, up to an aggregate nominal amount of £1,866,712 in connection with a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders by way of a rights issue (with exclusions to deal with fractional entitlements to shares and overseas shareholders to whom the rights issue cannot be made due to legal and practical problems). This limit is in line with the latest guidelines issued by the Investment Association.

The directors have no present intention of exercising this authority except for the purpose of allotting shares under the terms of the Company's employee share schemes. The authority will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting or on 21 June 2020 (whichever is the earlier).

The Company holds 1,788,710 ordinary shares in treasury as at 5 February 2019. This amount represents 0.64 per cent of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (exclusive of treasury shares) as at that date.

Resolutions 15 and 16

If the directors wish to allot shares, or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert securities into, shares, or sell treasury shares for cash (other than pursuant to an employee share scheme), they must first offer them to existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings. There may be occasions when the directors need the flexibility to finance business opportunities by allotting shares without a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders, and this can be done if the shareholders have first given a limited waiver of their pre-emption rights.

Resolution 15 and resolution 16 ask shareholders to grant this limited waiver. The resolutions will be proposed as special resolutions.

Resolution 15 contains a two-part waiver. The first is limited to the allotment of shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of £140,003 (which includes the sale on a non-pre-emptive basis of any shares held in treasury), which represents approximately 5 per cent of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company (exclusive of treasury shares) as at 5 February 2019 (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. The second is limited to the allotment of shares for cash in connection with a rights issue, to allow the directors to make appropriate exclusions and other arrangements to resolve legal or practical problems which, for example, might arise in relation to overseas shareholders.

The waiver granted by resolution 16 is in addition to the waiver granted by resolution 15. It is limited to the allotment of shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of £140,003 (which includes the sale on a non-pre-emptive basis of any shares held in treasury), which represents approximately 5 per cent of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company (exclusive of treasury shares) as at 5 February 2019 (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. This further waiver may only be used for an allotment of shares for cash for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the waiver is used within six months of the original transaction) a transaction which the directors determine to be an acquisition or other capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Pre-emption Group's March 2015 Statement of Principles.

The authority will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting or on 21 June 2020 (whichever is the earlier). It is the directors' intention to review this authority every year. There are no present plans to exercise this authority.

Resolution 17

If passed, this resolution will give the Company authority to purchase its own shares in the market up to a limit of 10 per cent of the Company's issued ordinary share capital. The maximum and minimum prices are stated in the resolution. The directors believe that it is advantageous for the Company to have this flexibility to make market purchases of its own shares. In the event that shares are purchased, they will either be cancelled (and the number of shares in issue will be reduced accordingly) or retained as treasury shares, as an alternative to cancelling them.

Shares repurchased as treasury shares will be held with a view to possible resale at a future date, rather than having to cancel them. This gives the Company the ability to reissue treasury shares quickly and cost effectively, and provides the Company with additional flexibility in the management of its capital base. Any issues of treasury shares for the purposes of the Company's employee share schemes will be made within the 10 per cent anti-dilution limit set by the Investment Association.

The directors have no present intention of making such purchases and will only exercise this authority if they are satisfied that a purchase can be expected to result in an increase in earnings per share and will be in the interests of shareholders generally. The authority will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting or on 21 June 2020 (whichever is the earlier).

As at 5 February 2019, there were options over 1,784,452 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company which represents 0.64 per cent of the issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) at that date. If the authority to purchase ordinary shares was exercised in full, these options would represent 0.71 per cent of the issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares).

Resolution 18

The Act provides that general meetings of a company may be held on not less than fourteen clear days' notice in writing. However, the Shareholder Rights Directive (Directive 2007/36/EC), which came into force on 1 August 2009, made it a requirement for a company whose shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange (among other markets) to seek approval each year from its shareholders if any general meeting is to be held on less than twenty one days' notice in writing. Resolution 18 seeks such approval. It will only be effective until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting, when the Company may propose a similar resolution. It is intended that the shorter notice period would not be used as a matter of routine for such meetings but only where the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be in the interests of shareholders as a whole.

Shareholder notes

• 1. A shareholder entitled to attend, speak and vote at the meeting is entitled to appoint one or more proxies (who need not be shareholders in the Company) to attend, speak and vote instead of him/her. A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the meeting, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attaching to a different share or shares held by him/her. A separate proxy form should be used for each proxy appointment. If you intend appointing additional proxies, please contact Computershare Investor Services PLC on +44(0)370 889 3289 to obtain (an) additional proxy form(s). Alternatively, you may photocopy the enclosed form. A shareholder appointing more than one proxy should indicate the number of shares for which each proxy is authorised to act on his/her holding. Failure to specify the number of shares to which each proxy form relates or specifying a number which, when taken together with the number of shares set out in the other proxy appointments, is in excess of the number of shares held by the shareholder may result in the proxy appointment being invalid.
• 1. The appointment of a proxy will not preclude a shareholder from attending and voting in person at the meeting. A proxy form accompanies this notice and in order to be valid should be completed and returned to the Company's registrars: Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY by not later than 11.00am on 19 March 2019. Alternatively, you may register your vote electronically by accessing the registrars' website at www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy. In order to be valid, electronic votes must also be registered not later than 11.00am on 19 March 2019 or not later than two business days before the time appointed for any adjourned meeting.
• 1. Shareholders who are users of the CREST system (including CREST Personal Members) may appoint one or more proxies or give an instruction to a proxy by having an appropriate CREST message transmitted. To appoint a proxy or to give an instruction to a proxy (whether previously appointed or otherwise) via the CREST system, the CREST message must be received by the Company's agent (ID number 3RA50) not later than 11.00am on 19 March 2019 or not later than two business days before the time appointed for any adjourned meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp generated by the CREST system) from which the Company's agent is able to retrieve the message. CREST Personal Members or other CREST sponsored members should contact their CREST sponsor for assistance with appointing proxies via CREST. For further information on CREST procedures, limitations and systems timings, please refer to the CREST Manual. The Company may treat as invalid a proxy appointment sent by CREST in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
• 1. Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers, provided that if two or more representatives purport to vote in respect of the same shares (i) if they purport to exercise the power in the same way as each other, the power is treated as exercised that way; and (ii) in other cases, the power is treated as not exercised.
• 1. A 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 who he/she was nominated, have the right to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy for the Annual General Meeting. 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 shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights.
• 1. The statements of the rights of shareholders in relation to the appointment of proxies in this notice do not apply to Nominated Persons. The rights described in these paragraphs can only be exercised by registered shareholders.
• 1. Under section 319A of the Companies Act 2006 any member attending the meeting has the right to ask questions. The Company must answer any such question relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting but no such answer need be given if (a) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information; (b) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question; or (c) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered.
• 1. Only persons entered in the register of members of the Company at 6.00pm on 19 March 2019 or, in the event that the meeting is adjourned, 6.00pm on the date which is two business days prior to the reconvened meeting, shall be entitled to attend or vote at the meeting.
