Before completing this Preference Shareholder Form of Proxy, please read the notes provided in the Advisory Vote Circular, General Meeting Circular and the guidance notes overleaf.

There are three options to participate in the Tender Offer and/or the Advisory Vote Meeting and General Meeting via proxy: Option 1, Option 2, and Option 3.

If you do not wish to tender your shares but wish to submit a voting only proxy instruction, you should select Option 2 or Option 3 using this Preference Shareholder Form of Proxy.

If you do not hold your shares in CREST, and you are in a restricted jurisdiction, you have received this Preference Shareholder Form of Proxy to enable to you to attend the Meetings and/or vote on the Resolutions but you are not permitted to participate in the Tender Offer.

• c) Option 3: Appoints a proxy of your choosing to attend the Advisory Vote Meeting and the General Meeting and/or vote on the Advisory Vote Resolution and the Cancellation Resolution in accordance with your instructions (either for, against, or withheld), or appoints the Chair as proxy to attend the Advisory Vote Meeting and the General Meeting but withhold your vote.

If you participate in the Meetings by selecting Option 1 or Option 2, you will be eligible to receive a Voting Fee. You will not be eligible to receive the Voting Fee if you participate in the Meetings by any other means.

• 1. The 'Vote withheld' option is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, a 'Vote withheld' is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'For' or 'Against' a resolution. If you choose voting Option 3B and appoint the Chair as proxy, this will be a 'Vote withheld' for these purposes.
• 1. Entitlement to attend and vote and the number of votes which may be cast at the Advisory Vote Meeting and General Meeting will be determined by reference to General Accident's Register of Members as at 6pm on 11 April 2025.
• 1. You are entitled to appoint one or more proxies of your choice to attend, speak and vote on your behalf at the Advisory Vote Meeting and General Meeting.

Please indicate how you wish your proxy to vote by placing a cross or other mark in the appropriate boxes. Your proxy must vote in the way that you indicate. If you do not give an instruction, and you have appointed a proxy other than the Chair under Option 3B, your proxy may vote or abstain as they wish on any resolution.
