2026 CHL Notice of AGM

EXPLANATION OF RESOLUTIONS

EXPLANATION OF RESOLUTIONS

Resolutions 1 to 15 (inclusive) are proposed as ordinary resolutions. For each of these to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in favour of the relevant Resolution. Resolutions 16-18 are proposed as special resolutions. For each of these to be passed, at least three quarters of the votes cast must be in favour of the Resolution. "Common Shares" means the Company's common shares of par value US$0.01 each.

An explanation of each of the Resolutions is set out below:

Resolutions 1 and 2 – Annual Report and Accounts and Directors’ Remuneration Report

Resolutions are proposed to receive the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 (Resolution 1) and to approve the Annual Report on Remuneration (Resolution 2), which are contained in the Annual Report and Accounts.

As a company incorporated in Bermuda, the Company is not bound by UK law or regulation in the area of Directors' remuneration to the same extent that it applies to UK incorporated listed companies. However, the Board is committed to providing information on Directors' remuneration to shareholders and complying with UK corporate governance standards and best practices to the extent appropriate.

Resolution 2 seeks shareholders' approval for the Annual Report on Remuneration as set out in the third part of the Directors' Remuneration Report, on pages 81 to 98 of the Annual Report and Accounts. This vote is advisory in nature and the Directors' entitlement to receive remuneration is not conditional upon it. The resolution and vote are a means of providing shareholder feedback to the Board. The Company's auditors, KPMG Audit Limited, have audited those parts of the Directors' Remuneration Report that would be required to be audited if the Company were bound by UK law and their report may be found on page 106 of the Annual Report and Accounts.

Resolutions 3 to 12 – Election and Re-election of Directors

Resolutions 3 to 12 are to approve the election and re-election of the Directors on the Board. In accordance with the Company's Bye-laws and the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code 2024 (the "Code"), all of the Directors of the Company are submitting themselves for election or re-election at the Annual General Meeting except for Elizabeth Murphy who is stepping down with effect from the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.

The Board believes that its members offer an appropriate balance of knowledge and skills. In the Board's view, each Director standing for election or re-election has made an effective commitment to the deliberations of the Board, continues to demonstrate a commitment to their role, and continues to be important for the Company's evolution and long-term sustainable success.

The Board's Nomination Committee, which considers the balance of the Board and the mix of skills, knowledge and experience of its members, has also considered and recommends to the Board the appointment of all of the Directors of the Company standing for election or re-election, as applicable. The Board confirms that the Non-Executive Directors demonstrate effective performance and commitment to the role and have sufficient time to meet their responsibilities.

Further information about the Directors, including their biographies, is set out in Appendix 1 of this Notice document. The Board considers that the Chair was independent upon appointment and considers all the other Non-Executive Directors standing for election or re-election to be independent within the meaning of the Code.

Resolutions 13 and 14 – Auditors

Resolution 13 proposes the re-appointment of KPMG Audit Limited as auditors of the Company until the conclusion of the 2027 AGM. The Company is required to appoint auditors at every general meeting of the Company at which accounts are presented to shareholders. KPMG Audit Limited was initially appointed by the Board in December 2020 and has advised of its willingness to stand for re-appointment. It is typical practice for a company's directors to be authorised to agree how much the auditors should be paid, and Resolution 14 grants this authority to the Directors.

Resolution 15 – Directors’ Authority to Allot Shares

Resolution 15 is proposed, pursuant to the Company's Bye-laws (the "Bye-laws"), to grant the Directors power to allot Relevant Securities, as defined in Bye-law 2.3, up to a maximum nominal amount of US$528,273.14. This represents 52,827,314 Common Shares, which is approximately one-third of the Company's issued share capital excluding Common Shares held by the Company in treasury as at 30

v0.41 - 31 Mar 2026 15:39:12 (BST)


2026 CHL Notice of AGM

EXPLANATION OF RESOLUTIONS

March 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document).

In accordance with The Investment Association's Share Capital Management Guidelines (the "Guidelines"), Resolution 15(b) seeks to grant the Directors authority to allot Relevant Securities in a fully pre-emptive offer in favour of existing shareholders up to an aggregate nominal value of US$528,273.14 (representing 52,827,314 Common Shares). This amount represents approximately one-third of the Company's issued share capital excluding Common Shares held by the Company in treasury as at 30 March 2026, (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document). In accordance with the Guidelines, the Company intends to explain why it has chosen a capital raising structure in reliance on Resolution 15(b) and why it is appropriate for the Company and its shareholders.

The authorities sought under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Resolution will expire at the conclusion of the 2027 AGM or at 6:00 p.m. Bermuda Time on 13 August 2027, whichever is sooner. The Directors have no present intention of exercising either of the authorities under this Resolution, but the Board wishes to ensure that the Company has maximum flexibility in managing the financial resources of the Company.

As at 30 March 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document) 6,758,053 Common Shares were held by the Company in treasury.

Resolutions 16 and 17 Disapplication of Pre-emption Rights (Special Resolutions)

Pursuant to Bye-law 2.4, the Board is seeking shareholders' authorisation for the Directors to allot Equity Securities up to an aggregate nominal value of US$316,963.88 on a non-pre-emptive and unrestricted basis, such amount being, in aggregate, approximately 20 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital excluding Common Shares held by the Company in treasury as at 30 March 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document), excluding follow-on offers (as detailed below).

The Bye-laws require that, unless shareholders resolve otherwise, any Equity Securities allotted for cash must be offered to existing holders of Relevant Shares or Relevant Employee Shares (each as defined in Bye-law 2.4(g)) pro rata to their existing shareholdings. The Bye-laws permit this requirement to be disapplied and the purpose of these Resolutions is to authorise the Board to allot Equity Securities as if such provisions did not apply in certain circumstances, when the Board considers that to do so would be in the best interests of the Company.

The Board notes that the total amount of the pre-emption disapplication for which authority is requested is in line the levels that are included in the revised Statement of Principles published by the UK Pre-Emption Group in 2022 (the "Principles"). The Principles allow UK listed companies to request that shareholders disapply pre-emption for up to 10 per cent. on an unrestricted basis and an additional up to 10 per cent. to fund transactions that the board determines either to be an acquisition or a specified capital investment. The Principles also allow companies to request disapplication of pre-emption rights from their shareholders in order to make follow-on offers (for up to a further 2 per cent.) to existing shareholders that are not allocated shares under any issuances made pursuant to the disapplications referred to above.

Were the Board to exercise this authority, it intends to continue its consultation and dialogue with shareholders and make disclosures in the announcement regarding any Common Share issue and in the subsequent annual report and accounts, each as contemplated in the Principles. The Directors confirm that, in considering the exercise of the authority under Resolutions 16 and 17, they intend to follow the shareholder protections set out in Part 2B of the Principles to the extent reasonably practicable.

Unless otherwise renewed or revoked by the shareholders in general meeting, these authorities will expire at the conclusion of the 2027 AGM or at 6:00 p.m. Bermuda Time on 13 August 2027, whichever is sooner.

Resolution 18 – Purchase of own Shares (Special Resolution)

The Board is seeking shareholders' approval generally and unconditionally to authorise the Directors to make one or more market purchases of the issued Common Shares of the Company up to an aggregate nominal value of US$158,481.94 (representing 15,848,194 Common Shares, such amount being approximately 10 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital (excluding Common Shares held by the Company in treasury) as at 30 March 2026, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice) at a price of not less than the nominal value of the Common Shares (exclusive of expenses payable by the Company).

Pursuant to the Bye-laws, no purchase can be made if the Board determines that it would result in a non-de minimis adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequence to the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any holder of shares or its affiliates.

The Company cannot by law (in respect of the par value of the Common Shares to be purchased) purchase its own Common Shares except out of:

v0.41 - 31 Mar 2026 15:39:12 (BST)


2026 CHL Notice of AGM

EXPLANATION OF RESOLUTIONS

  • the capital paid up thereon; or
  • the funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend payment or distribution; or
  • the proceeds of a fresh issue of Common Shares made for the purposes of the repurchase, and

the premium, if any, payable on the repurchase is provided for out of funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend payment or distribution or out of the Company's share premium account before the repurchase date.

The authority will expire at the conclusion of the 2027 AGM or at 6:00 p.m. Bermuda Time on 13 August 2027, whichever is sooner.

The Company is currently undertaking a share buyback programme, which will terminate on the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. The Directors have no present intention of exercising the authority to purchase the Company's Common Shares proposed at the Annual General Meeting but will keep the matter under review, taking into account the financial resources of the Company, the Company's share price and future funding opportunities. The Directors will exercise this authority only when to do so would be in the best interests of the Company and of its shareholders generally, and could be expected to result in an increase in earnings per Common Share of the Company. Any purchases of Common Shares would be by means of market purchase through the London Stock Exchange.

Any Common Shares the Company buys under this authority may either be cancelled or held in treasury. Treasury shares can be re-sold for cash, cancelled or used for the purposes of the Company's Management Promote Scheme, the Company's 2023 Long Term Incentive Plan or any future approved employee share schemes. No dividends are paid on Common Shares whilst held in treasury and no voting rights attach to treasury shares. The Directors believe that it is desirable for the Company to have this choice as holding the purchased Common Shares as treasury shares would give the Company the ability to re-sell or transfer them in the future and so provide the Company with additional flexibility in the management of its capital base.

As at the date of this document, there are no options to subscribe for Common Shares in the Company.

Appointment of proxies

  1. If you are a member who is entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting, you are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote on your behalf at the Annual General Meeting. A form of proxy, which may be used to make such appointment and to give proxy instructions (the "Form of Proxy"), accompanies this Notice. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to appoint the Chair of the meeting as their proxy to ensure that their vote is counted.

  2. A proxy does not need to be a member of the Company. You may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the Annual General Meeting provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by you. To appoint more than one proxy, (an) additional Form(s) of Proxy may be obtained by contacting Computershare Investor Services (Bermuda) Limited ("Computershare") on +44 370 702 4040 or you may photocopy the Form of Proxy accompanying this Notice. Calls to the helpline number are charged at the standard rate per minute plus network extras. Lines are open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. BST Monday to Friday, excluding UK public holidays. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name, the number of shares in relation to which he or she is authorised to act as your proxy (which, in aggregate, should not exceed the number of shares held by you). Please also indicate by marking 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. If you do not have a Form of Proxy and believe that you should have one, please contact Computershare as set out above.

  3. Shareholders can:

(a) appoint a proxy and give proxy instructions by returning the Form of Proxy by post (see notes 6 and 7 below);

(b) register their proxy appointment electronically (see note 8 below); or

(c) if they hold shares in CREST as Depositary Interests, by utilising the CREST electronic instruction service (see notes 9 to 12 (inclusive) below).

  1. The return of a completed Form of Proxy, other such instrument or any CREST Instruction (as described in note 10 below) will not prevent a shareholder attending the Annual General Meeting and voting in person if he/she wishes to do so.

Appointment of proxies by post

  1. To be valid any Form of Proxy or other instrument appointing a proxy must be received by post at Computershare Investor Services (Bermuda) Limited c/o Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY no later than 2:00 p.m. BST on 11 May 2026.

NOTES TO THE NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Appointment of proxies electronically

  1. Alternatively, shareholders may appoint a proxy electronically by sending completed Forms of Proxy via email to #[email protected] with the originals to follow as soon as possible. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting is strongly encouraged to appoint the Chair of the meeting as their proxy. To be valid, your proxy appointment should reach Computershare no later than 2:00 p.m. BST on 11 May 2026.

CREST – Depositary Interests

  1. Holders of Depositary Interests (the "DI Holders") are invited to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting, but to do so they must contact the Depositary in writing or by email at [email protected] with a letter requesting attendance. The Depositary will then issue the necessary Letter of Representation authorising attendance of an individual. Attendance requests should be submitted no later than 2:00 p.m. BST on 8 May 2026. To submit votes to be counted, DI Holders must either:

(a) submit a CREST Voting Instruction to the Company's agent in accordance with the instructions below; or
(b) complete, sign and return a Form of Instruction to the Depositary.

  1. DI Holders who are CREST members and who wish to issue an instruction through the CREST electronic voting service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual (available from https://my.euroclear.com). CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting services provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

  2. In order for instructions made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Voting Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with the specifications of Euroclear UK & International Limited ("EUI") and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual.

  3. The message, regardless of whether it relates to the voting instruction or to an amendment to the instruction given to the UK Depositary must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID 3RA50) no later than 2:00 p.m. BST on 8 May 2026. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the CREST Voting Instruction by the CREST applications host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the CREST Voting Instruction by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.

  4. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that EUI does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the transmission of CREST Voting Instructions. It is the responsibility of each CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that the CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a CREST Voting Instruction is transmitted by means of the CREST service by any particular time. In this regard, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

  5. DI Holders cannot appoint the Chair as their proxy. DI Holders must instruct the custodian, Computershare Company Nominees Limited (Computershare), via CREST and Computershare and will make arrangements to vote such underlying DI Holder's shares according to the DI Holder's instructions in the manner prescribed by CREST.

  6. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Voting Instruction in the circumstances set out in regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

v0.41 - 31 Mar 2026 15:39:12 (BST)


2026 CHL Notice of AGM

NOTES TO THE NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Appointment of proxies by joint holders

  1. In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).

Terminating your proxy appointment

  1. Shareholders may terminate a proxy instruction but to do so you will need to inform the Company in writing by sending a signed hard copy notice clearly stating your intention to revoke your proxy appointment to Computershare Investor Services (Bermuda) Limited at c/o Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY.

Total voting rights

  1. As at 30 March 2026, the latest practicable date prior to the date of this Notice, the Company's issued share capital consisted of 165,239,997 Common Shares, carrying one vote each. 6,758,053 Common Shares were held in treasury as at 30 March 2026 and, therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company as at 30 March 2026 was 158,481,944.

  2. It is proposed that all votes on the Resolutions at the Annual General Meeting will be taken by way of a poll rather than on a show of hands. The Company considers that a poll is more representative of shareholders' voting intentions because votes are counted according to the number of shares held and all votes tendered are taken into account. The results of the voting will be announced through a Regulatory Information Service and will be published on the Company's website https://conduitreinsurance.com/ as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

Documents on display

  1. Copies of the Non-Executive Directors' letters of appointment are available for inspection by the shareholders (subject to verification) during normal business hours on any weekday (Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays excluded) at Ideation House, 94 Pitts Bay Road, Pembroke, HM08, Bermuda from the date of this Notice until the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting and will be available for inspection at the place of the Annual General Meeting for at least 15 minutes prior to and during the Annual General Meeting.

21. Conduct at the AGM

Unacceptable behaviour will not be tolerated at the AGM and it will be dealt with appropriately by the Chair.
