Attendance at Annual General Meeting

In view of the Government's current advice in relation to the evolving coronavirus (Covid-19) situation, the Company recommends that shareholders comply with the current Government guidelines and do not attend the AGM in person this year.

Instead, please use this form to appoint the Chairman of the meeting to vote on your behalf at the meeting or alternatively appoint the Chairman of the meeting to be your proxy electronically following the procedure set out in Note 7.

Notwithstanding the Company's recommendation not to attend the AGM, if you do attend the meeting, please bring this card with you as evidence of your right to be admitted.

Dialight plc

Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of Dialight plc (the "Company") to be held at Tower 42, 25 Old Broad Street, London, EC2N 1HQ on Wednesday, 13 May 2020 at 11:30am.

Notes

  1. A member entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is also entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend, speak and vote instead of him at the AGM. A member of the Company may appoint more than one proxy, provided that each proxy is appointed to execute the rights attached to a different share or shares. The proxy need not be a member of the Company but must attend the meeting to represent you.
  2. To appoint a proxy of a member's own choice, other than the Chairman of the meeting, insert the proxy's name on this form of proxy in the space provided. Please note if no name is inserted in the box, the Chairman of the meeting will be deemed to be your proxy. If the appointing shareholder is a corporation this proxy must be under its common seal, if any, and if none, under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised.
  3. To appoint more than one proxy an additional form(s) of proxy may be obtained by contacting the Company's Registrars at the address in note 6 or by telephone in the case of UK shareholders on 0371 384 2030 (overseas shareholders should call +44 (0)121 416 7047). Alternatively, you may photocopy this form. Lines are open Monday to Friday 8:30am to 5:30pm, excluding bank holidays. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name (see below) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. Please also indicate by ticking the box provided if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. In case of joint holders of a share the vote of the senior, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the vote or votes of the other joint holder or holders, and seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the holders stand in the register.

  4. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If left blank your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement (or, if this form of proxy has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account).

  5. To direct your proxy how to vote on the resolutions mark the appropriate box with an "X". To abstain from voting on a resolution, select the relevant "withheld" box. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against a resolution. If no voting indication is given your proxy may exercise their discretion as to whether, and if so how, they vote. The proxy may also vote, or abstain from voting, as he thinks fit on any other business which may properly come before the meeting.
  6. To be effective, the instrument(s) appointing a proxy and (if required by the Directors) a power of attorney or other authority under which it is executed (or a copy of it notarially certified or certified in some other way approved by the directors) must be signed, dated and deposited at the Company's Registrars, Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 6DA, by no later than 11:30am on 11 May 2020 (or, in the event of any adjournment, 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time of the adjourned meeting). Completion and return of the form(s) of proxy will not preclude members from attending and voting in person at the AGM if they wish, at which point your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.

  7. As an alternative to completing this hard-copy proxy form, you can appoint a proxy electronically by means of a website provided by Equiniti, (www.sharevote.co.uk), using your Personal Authentication Reference Number (this is the series of numbers printed under the headings Voting ID, Task ID and Shareholder Reference Number on this form of proxy). CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com). CREST Personal Members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf. For an electronic proxy appointment to be valid, your appointment must be received by Equiniti, or, in the case of a CREST electronic proxy appointment, the issuer's agent (ID 6419), no later than 11:30am on 11 May 2020, (or, in the event of any adjournment, 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time of the adjourned meeting).

  8. Only those shareholders registered in the Register of Members of the Company as at 6:30pm on 11 May 2020 (or, in the event of any adjournment, 6:30pm on the date which is two working days before the time of the adjourned meeting) shall be entitled to attend or vote at the AGM in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to entries in the Register of Members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the AGM.
