Explanatory Notes:

• 1. Every holder has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice, who need not be a shareholder, as his proxy to exercise all or any of his rights, to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting. If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman, please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided (see reverse). 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 (see reverse) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If returned without an indication as to how the proxy shall vote on any particular matter, the proxy will exercise his discretion as to whether, and if so how, he votes (or if this proxy form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the proxy will exercise his discretion as to whether, and if so how, he votes).To appoint more than one proxy, an additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Registrar's helpline on 0370 707 1443 or you may photocopy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name (see reverse) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. 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.
• 2. The 'Vote Withheld' option overleaf is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, it should be noted that a 'Vote Withheld' is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.

This personalised form is not transferable between different: (i) account holders; or (ii) uniquely designated accounts. The Company and Computershare Investor Services PLC accept no liability for any instruction that does not comply with these conditions.

3. Pursuant to Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001, entitlement to attend and vote at the meeting and the number of votes which may be cast thereat will be determined by reference to the Register of Members of the Company at close of business on the day which is two days before the day of the meeting. Changes to entries on the Register of Members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.

Dear Shareholder,

The notice of meeting for the Company's Annual General Meeting, which is being held on 3 February 2022 at 11.30am, is included in the FY 2021 Annual Report on page 174. At the time of posting the notice, it is uncertain what regulations or public health guidance might be in place at the time of the AGM. The Board understands that many of the most regular attendees of our AGMs in past years, even if their health and the then current regulations permit, might not want to travel into central London to attend AGMs so we have again arranged for the meeting to be webcast.

In light of the current uncertainty, we do strongly encourage shareholders to submit a proxy vote in advance of the AGM and to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy, rather than a named person who, if circumstances change, may not be able to attend the meeting. Further details on the appointment of a proxy are included in the notice convening the AGM set out at the end of the Annual Report. The deadline for receipt of electronic proxy appoints is 1 February 2022 by 11.30 a.m. (London time).

The Company will be providing a webcast facility that will enable shareholders to follow the proceedings of the AGM remotely at the link below:

https://webcasting.brrmedia.co.uk/broadcast/61a900dad3bc8f738533a4f9

There will be an opportunity to ask questions after the presentation. You will need your SRN and PIN number (shown below) to log in. Please note that the PIN number is different to that on your Form of Proxy.

Shareholders can also submit any specific questions on the business of the AGM and the resolutions ahead of the AGM by email to CoSec@futurenet.com (marked for the attention of the Company Secretary). Any questions must be received by 11.30 a.m. (London time) on 1 February 2022. The Future Board will aim to respond to these questions during the AGM but if not, questions received and answers to such questions will be made available on Future's website as soon as possible after the meeting.
