In the lead up to the AGM, the Company will continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 virus in Ireland.

RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 6 OF THE NOTICE OF AGM ARE PROPOSED AS ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS.

Resolution 1: Annual Report and Financial Statements

Resolution 1 is asking members to receive and consider the Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019, together with the reports of the Directors and the Auditors and a review of the affairs of the Company.

Dalata Hotel Group plc Annual General Meeting

Resolution 4: Re-appointment of Directors

Resolution 4 deals with the re-appointment of Directors. The Company's constitution requires that at least one third of Directors shall retire by rotation at the Company's AGM each year. However, in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, each of the current Directors will retire from office at the end of the AGM and will offer themselves for re-appointment. Biographies of each of the Directors who are offering themselves for re-appointment at the AGM together with a description of their skills, expertise and experience are set out on pages 58 to 59 of the 2019 Annual Report. The contribution that each of the Directors brings to the Board and the long term success of the Company is also described in detail in the Annual Report. The re-appointment of each Director will be considered separately. The Board regularly reviews the performance of Directors and is satisfied that all Directors proposed for re-appointment continue to perform effectively and to demonstrate commitment to their respective roles.

Resolution 5: Remuneration of the Auditors

Resolution 5 is asking members to authorise the Directors to determine the remuneration of the Company's Auditors.

Resolution 6: Authority to allot shares

Resolution 6 seeks to renew the authority of the Directors to allot shares. The Investment Association generally supports resolutions seeking authority to allot up to 66.66% of a company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) of which any allotment in excess of 33.33% of the issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) is applied to allot shares pursuant to a rights issue.

Accordingly, Resolution 6 proposes to authorise the Directors to allot shares up to an aggregate nominal value of €1,238,023 (representing approximately 66.66% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) as at 5p.m. on 24 March 2020) of which any allotment in excess of €619,011 (representing 33.33% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) as at 24 March 2020, shall be applied to allot shares pursuant to a rights issue.

The Directors have no current intention of exercising this authority. If adopted, this authority will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or at midnight on the date which is 15 months after the passing of the resolution (whichever is earlier) unless previously varied, revoked or renewed. This resolution is a common one at annual general meetings of companies listed on the main markets of Euronext Dublin and/or the London Stock Exchange and is in line with institutional shareholder guidance.

Resolutions 7 to 11 of the Notice of AGM are proposed as special resolutions.

Resolutions 7 and 8: Disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights in certain circumstances

The Companies Act 2014 sets out pre-emption rights for members where new equity securities (essentially ordinary shares in the case of the Company) are to be allotted for cash. The Companies Act 2014 also provides for these pre-emption rights to be modified or disapplied. The London based Pre-Emption Group has issued guidelines for such modifications or disapplications. These guidelines were revised in March 2015 and May 2016 and resolutions 7 and 8 are in terms consistent with these guidelines.

Accordingly, Resolution 7 is asking members to renew the Directors' authority to disapply the strict statutory pre-emption provisions in certain circumstances, being: (i) rights issues, open offers or other pre-emptive offers and subject thereto by way of placing or otherwise of any shares not taken up in such issue or offer; and/or (ii) for allotments (other than by way of pre-emptive offers) up to an aggregate nominal value of €92,861 which represents 5% of the total nominal value of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 24 March 2020; and/or (iii) the allotment of equity securities pursuant to the Company's employee share scheme for the time being in force.

Furthermore, Resolution 8 is asking members to authorise the Directors to disapply the strict statutory pre-emption provisions in additional circumstances, being for allotments (other than by way of pre-emptive offers) up to an additional aggregate nominal value of €92,861 which represents a further 5% of the total nominal value of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 24 March 2020 in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment. As per the Pre-emption Principles (as defined below), an acquisition or specified capital investment means one that is announced contemporaneously with the issue of share capital, or that has taken place in the preceding six month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the issue.

In accordance with the Pre-emption Group's Statement of Principles (the Pre-emption Principles), the Board confirms that it does not currently intend to issue equity securities for cash representing in any rolling three year period more than 7.5% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares and excluding any issues of securities pursuant to: Resolution 7 (a) and (c); and/or (ii) any specific disapplication of pre-emption rights; and/or (iii) Resolution 8) to those who are not existing members.

If adopted, these two authorities will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or at midnight on the date which is 15 months after the passing of the resolution (whichever is earlier) unless previously varied, revoked or renewed. These resolutions are common at annual general meetings of companies on the main markets of Euronext Dublin and/or the London Stock Exchange and are in line with institutional shareholder guidance and in particular with the Pre-emption Principles.

Dalata Hotel Group plc Annual General Meeting

Resolution 9: Authorisation of market purchases of the Company's shares

Resolution 9 is asking members to give the Company (and any of its subsidiaries) the authority to make market purchases and overseas market purchases of its issued shares provided that the maximum number of shares authorised to be acquired shall not exceed 10% of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) as at the date of passing of this Resolution 9. If adopted, this authority will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or at midnight on the date which is 15 months after the passing of the resolution (whichever is earlier) unless previously varied, revoked or renewed.

While the Directors do not have any current intention to exercise this power, this authority and flexibility is being sought as it is common practice for companies on the main markets of Euronext Dublin and/or the London Stock Exchange. Furthermore, such purchases would be made only at price levels which the Directors considered to be in the best interests of the members generally, after taking into account the Company's overall financial position.

In addition, the authority being sought from members will provide that the minimum price (excluding expenses) which may be paid for such shares shall be an amount not less than the nominal value of the shares and the maximum price will be the higher of:

(a) 5% above the average of the closing prices of the Company's ordinary shares taken from the main market of Euronext Dublin and/or the London Stock Exchange (as the case may be depending on where the purchase is carried out), in each case for the five business days prior to the day the purchase is made (the "Market Purchase Appropriate Price"), or if on any such business day there shall be no dealing of ordinary shares on the trading venue(s) where the purchase is carried out or a closing price is not otherwise available, the Market Purchase Appropriate Price shall be determined by such other method as the Directors shall determine, in their sole discretion, to be fair and reasonable; and

(b) the amount stipulated by Article 3(2) of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016 / 1052 relating to such regulatory technical standards for the conditions applicable to buy-backs and stabilisation (being the value of such an ordinary share calculated on the basis of the higher of the price quoted for: (i) the last independent trade; and (ii) the highest current independent purchase bid for any number of such ordinary shares on the trading venue(s) where the purchase pursuant to the authority conferred by Resolution 9 will be carried out).

Resolution 10: Authorisation for the re-allotment of treasury shares

Resolution 10 is asking members to give the Company the authority to re-allot treasury shares pursuant to Section 1078 of the Companies Act 2014 and the re-allotment price range at which treasury shares may be re-allotted is as follows:

(a) the maximum price at which a treasury share may be re-allotted off-market shall be an amount equal to 120% of the Treasury Share Appropriate Price (as defined below); and

(b) the minimum price at which a treasury share may be re-allotted off-market shall be the nominal value of the share where such share is required to satisfy an obligation under an employee share scheme or in all other cases shall be an amount equal to 95% of the Treasury Share Appropriate Price (provided always that no treasury share shall be re-allotted at a price lower than its nominal value).

If adopted, this authority will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or at midnight on the date which is 15 months after the passing of the resolution (whichever is earlier), unless previously varied, revoked or renewed. (For the purpose of the resolution, "Treasury Share Appropriate Price" means the lower of the average of the closing prices of the Company's ordinary shares taken from the main market of Euronext Dublin and the average of the closing prices of the Company's ordinary shares taken from the main market of the London Stock Exchange in each case for the five business days (in Dublin and in London, respectively, as the case may be) prior to the day the re-allotment is made, or if on any business day there shall be no dealing of ordinary shares on the trading venue or a closing price is not otherwise available, the Treasury Share Appropriate Price shall be determined by such other method as the Directors shall determine, in their sole discretion, to be fair and reasonable).

Resolution 11: Notice of General Meetings

Resolution 11 allows the Directors to call a general meeting (other than the annual general meeting or a meeting for the passing of a special resolution) on 14 clear days' notice where the purpose of the meeting is solely to consider one or more ordinary resolutions. Section 1102 of the Companies Act 2014 provides that on an annual basis a company may pass a resolution such as this Resolution 11 to preserve its flexibility to call certain extraordinary general meetings, where appropriate, using the shorter notice period (14 clear days). The Company confirms that it will only use the shorter notice period where it is in the interests of the members to do so and where the flexibility is merited by the purpose of the meeting. If passed, this authority will be effective until the next annual general meeting of the Company, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed. This Resolution is a common one at annual general meetings of Irish companies on the on the main markets of Euronext Dublin and/or the London Stock Exchange.

Recommendation

Your Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote in favour of each of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

Yours faithfully,

John Hennessy
Non-executive Chair

Only those members registered in the register of members of the Company at 6 p.m. on Monday, 27 April 2020 or if the AGM is adjourned, at 6 p.m. on the day that falls 48 hours before the time appointed for the adjourned meeting, shall be entitled to attend, speak, ask questions and vote at the AGM, or if relevant, any adjournment thereof. Changes in the register after that time will be disregarded in determining the right of any person to attend and/or vote at the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

2. The Company will take all appropriate safety measures as the Directors may in their absolute discretion determine from time to time, and in any individual case, to be necessary or desirable at, during or prior to the AGM to ensure the safety of any attendees and others involved with it. Such measures may include, without limitation, the restriction of the number of attendees, and health and/or compliance related checks and requirements.

Appointment of Proxy

1. A member entitled to attend, speak, ask questions and vote at a general meeting of the Company is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend, speak, ask questions and vote on his or her or its behalf at the AGM and may appoint more than one proxy to attend on the same occasion in respect of shares held in different securities accounts. A member acting as an intermediary on behalf of one or more clients may grant a proxy to each of its clients or their nominees and such intermediary may cast votes attaching to some of the shares differently from other shares held by it. The appointment of a proxy will not preclude a member from attending, speaking, asking questions and voting at the meeting should the member subsequently wish to do so. A proxy shall be bound by the constitution of the Company. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. If you wish to appoint more than one proxy please contact the Registrars of the Company, Computershare Investor Services (Ireland) Limited, by emailing clientservices@computershare.ie.

2. For those who intend to appoint a proxy other than the chair of the AGM, we would ask that, as a contingency measure, you would additionally appoint the chair of the AGM as an alternative in the event the initially intended proxy is unable to attend for any reason (and does not appoint a substitute).

3. A form of proxy is enclosed with the Notice of AGM ("Form of Proxy"). To be effective, the Form of Proxy duly completed and executed, together with any original power of attorney or other authority under which it is executed, or a copy of such authority certified notarially or by a solicitor practising in the Republic of Ireland, must be deposited with the Registrars of the Company, by post (or by hand) to Computershare Investor Services (Ireland) Limited, 3100 Lake Drive, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, D24 AK82, Ireland so as to be received no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the AGM or adjourned AGM or (in the case of a poll taken otherwise than at or on the same day as the AGM or adjourned AGM) at least 48 hours before the taking of the poll at which it is to be used. Any alteration to the Form of Proxy must be initialled by the person who signs it.

4. Alternatively, subject to the constitution of the Company, and provided it is received not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the AGM or adjourned AGM or (in the case of a poll taken otherwise than at or on the same day as the AGM or adjourned AGM) at least 48 hours before the taking of the poll at which it is to be used, the appointment of a proxy may:

(a) be submitted by fax to +353 (1) 447 5572, provided it is received in legible form; or be submitted electronically, subject to the terms and conditions of electronic voting, by accessing the Registrar's website, www.eproxyappointment.com. You will require your Control Number, Shareholder Reference Number (SRN) and PIN number as printed on your Form of Proxy. Full details of the procedures, including voting instructions are given on the website; or

(b) be submitted through CREST in the case of CREST members, CREST sponsored members or CREST members who have appointed voting service providers. Transmission of CREST Proxy instructions must be done and authenticated in accordance with Euroclear specifications as set out in the CREST Manual and received by the Registrar under (ID 3RA50).

1. In the case of a body corporate member, the Form of Proxymust be either executed under its common seal, signed on its behalf by a duly authorised officer or attorney, or submitted electronically in accordance with note 6. A proxy (including a substitute proxy) shall be entitled at his or her discretion and without notice to the member to (i) nominate and appoint any person to be a substitute proxy for him or her for any of the purposes contemplated by the Form of Proxy with liberty to revoke any such appointment at his or her discretion and/or (ii) replace such substitute proxy with any other person at his or her discretion (each of the foregoing being, a Substitute Proxy). A proxy shall provide any Substitute Proxy with a copy (electronic or otherwise) of the Form of Proxy. A Substitute Proxy shall be bound by, and shall be entitled to act in all respects in accordance with, the terms of the Form of Proxy. All references to 'proxy' shall be deemed to include persons who are Substitute Proxies for the time being. Members should indicate how the wish their proxy to vote by marking the appropriate box. A member may direct their proxy to vote "For", "Against", or to "Abstain". If no such specific instructions are given, the proxy will vote the member's vote at his/her discretion. A vote cast as abstain is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "for" or "against" the resolution.

2. On any other business which may properly come before the AGM, or any adjournment thereof (whether procedural or substantive in nature, including without limitation any motion to amend a resolution or adjourn the meeting), not specified in the Notice of AGM, the proxy will act at his/her discretion in voting on such matters.

Voting rights and the total number of issued shares

1. Members have several ways of casting their vote:
   (a) by attending the AGM in person;
   (b) by appointing a proxy to vote on your behalf; or
   (c) by appointing a proxy via the CREST system if you hold your shares in CREST.

2. In the case of joint holders the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other registered holders and 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.

3. The total number of issued ordinary shares on the date of this Notice of AGM is 185,722,014. Each ordinary share carries one vote. On a vote on a show of hands, every member present in person and every proxy has one vote (but no individual shall have more than one vote). On a poll every member shall have one vote for every share carrying rights of which he is the holder.

4. Where a poll is taken at the AGM any member present in person or by proxy, holding more than one share is not obliged to cast all his/her/its votes in the same way.

5. Ordinary resolutions are required to be passed by a simple majority of members voting in person or by proxy. Special resolutions are required to be passed by a majority of not less than 75% of votes cast by those who vote either in person or in proxy.

2. Under Section 1107 of the Companies Act 2014, the Company must answer any question which a member may ask relating to the business being dealt with at the AGM unless:

   (b) the answer has already been given on a website in a question and answer format; or

1. Pursuant to Section 1104 of the Companies Act 2014, a member or a group of members holding 3% of the issued share capital, representing at least 3% of the total voting rights of all members who have a right to vote at the AGM, have a right to put an item on the agenda for the AGM and/or table a draft resolution for inclusion in the agenda of the AGM subject to any contrary provisions in company law which impose other conditions on the right of members to put items on the agenda for or to propose resolutions at the AGM.

A requested item or draft resolution must not be such as would be incapable of being passed or otherwise be ineffective or redundant (whether by reason of inconsistency with any enactment or the Company's constitution, or on account of the substantive nature of other resolutions on the agenda of the AGM, or otherwise). Any requested item or draft resolution must not be defamatory of any person.

Subject to the Companies Act 2014 and any provision of the Company's constitution, where a resolution is proposed as a special resolution, no amendment to the resolution (other than an amendment to correct a patent error) may be considered at the general meeting. Subject to the Companies Act 2014 and any provision of the Company's constitution, where a resolution is proposed as an ordinary resolution, no amendment to the resolution (other than an amendment to correct a patent error) may be considered or voted upon unless either at least forty-eight hours prior to the time appointed for holding the general meeting or adjourned meeting at which the ordinary resolution is to be approved, notice in writing of the terms of the amendment and intention to move same has been lodged with the Company Secretary (at the Company's Registered Office), or the Chairman in his absolute discretion decides that it may be considered or voted upon.
