Notice of Meeting Notes:
The following notes explain your general rights as a shareholder and your right to attend and vote at this Meeting or to appoint someone else to vote on your behalf.
- 1) Pursuant to the Company's Articles of Association, a member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the meeting convened by this notice is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to exercise any of his rights to attend, speak and vote at that meeting on his behalf. If you plan to attend the AGM then due to security restrictions at the building you must register in advance by emailing the Company Secretary, [email protected], by no later than 18th September 2025.
- 2) If a member appoints more than one proxy, each proxy must be entitled to exercise the rights attached to different shares. If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment in respect of the same shares, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.
- 3) A proxy may only be appointed using the procedures set out in these notes and the notes to the form of proxy. To validly appoint a proxy, a member must complete, sign and date the enclosed form of proxy and deposit it at the office of the Company's registrars, Neville Registrars, at Neville House, Steelpark Road, Halesowen, West Midlands B62 8HD, by 12.00 p.m. on 18th September 2025 (or, in the event that the meeting is adjourned, not less than 48 hours, excluding non-working days, before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned meeting). Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the form of proxy is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be enclosed with the form of proxy.
- 4) In order to revoke a proxy appointment, a member must sign and date a notice clearly stating his intention to revoke his proxy appointment and deposit it at the office of the Company's registrars, Neville Registrars, at Neville House, Steelpark Road, Halesowen, West Midlands B62 8HD prior to commencement of the meeting. If the revocation is received after the time specified, the original proxy appointment will remain valid unless the member attends the meeting and votes in person.
- 5) Pursuant to the Articles of Association, any corporation which is a member of the Company may authorise one or more persons (who need not be a member of the Company) to attend, speak and vote at the meeting as the representative of that corporation. A certified copy of the board resolution of the corporation appointing the relevant person as the representative of that corporation in connection with the meeting must be deposited at the office of the Company's registrars, Neville Registrars, at Neville House, Steelpark Road, Halesowen, West Midlands B62 8HD prior to the commencement of the meeting. If the revocation is received after the time specified, the original corporate representative appointment will remain valid unless the member attends the meeting and votes in person.
- 6) In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy in respect of the same shares, 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).
- 7) The right to vote at the meeting shall be determined by reference to the register of members of the Company. Pursuant to Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 (as amended), only those persons whose names are entered on the register of members of the Company at 6.00 p.m. on 18th September 2025 (or, in the event of any adjournment, at 6.00 p.m. on the date which is two working days prior to the adjourned meeting) shall be entitled to attend and vote in respect of the number of shares registered in their names at that time. Changes to entries on the register of members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to vote at the meeting.
- 8) CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the meeting and any adjournment(s) thereof 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 voting 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.
- 9) In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made by means of the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International Limited's ("Euroclear") specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the Company's agent (ID 7RA11) by the latest time for proxy appointments set out in paragraph 3 above. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the Company's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
- 10) CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore, apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the 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 his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, 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. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 (as amended).
- 11) Any corporation which is a shareholder can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a shareholder provided that no more than one corporate representative exercises powers in relation to the same shares.
- 12) Any shareholder attending the Meeting has the right to ask questions. The Company must cause to be answered any such question relating to the business being dealt with at the Meeting but no such answer need be given if: (a) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the Meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information; (b) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question; or (c) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the Meeting that the question be answered.
- 13) You may not use any electronic address (within the meaning of Section 333(4) of the Companies Act 2006) provided in either this Notice or any related documents (including the form of proxy) to communicate with the Company for any purposes other than those expressly stated.
- 14) A copy of this Notice, and other information required by Section 311A of the Companies Act 2006, can be found on the Company's website at https://www.ondoplc.com/investors/circulars-documents/ .
- 15) At 14th August 2025, (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice) the issued share capital of the Company consisted of 138,379,292 Ordinary Shares of £0.05 each in the capital of the Company. Each Ordinary share carries one vote. The Company held no shares in treasury, therefore the total voting rights in the Company as at 14th August 2025 were 138,379,292.
EXPLANATION OF BUSINESS
Resolution 1: To receive the annual report and accounts
Company law requires the Directors to present the annual report and accounts of the Company to shareholders in respect of each financial year.
Resolution 2: To approve the remuneration report
The remuneration report is set out on pages 21 to 24 of the annual financial report. It gives details of the Directors' remuneration for the year ended 31 March 2025. The vote is advisory and does not affect the actual remuneration paid to any individual Director.
Resolutions 3 to 7: To re-elect Directors
Under the latest Company's Articles of Association, at each AGM, any directors who were not appointed or re-appointed at one of the preceding two AGMs must retire from office and may offer themselves for re-appointment by the shareholders. All of the Directors proposed for re-election have wide ranging business knowledge, bringing valuable skills and experience and the Board considers that each of the Directors continues to make an effective, valuable contribution and demonstrate commitment to the role. Accordingly, the Board recommends the re-election of each of these Directors.
Resolution 8 and 9: To re-appoint the auditor and authorise the Board to determine their remuneration
The Company is required to appoint an auditor at each general meeting at which accounts are laid before the members, to hold office until the conclusion of the next such meeting. Resolution 8 is for members to re-appoint PKF Littlejohn LLP as auditors of the Company and resolution 9 proposes that shareholders authorise the Board to determine the remuneration of the auditors. In practice, the audit committee will consider the audit fees and recommend them to the Board.
Resolution 10: Directors' authority to allot shares
Resolution 10 authorises the Directors to allot shares in the Company until the conclusion of the next AGM or 30 September 2026, whichever is earlier. The resolution would give the Directors authority to allot ordinary shares, and grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares in the Company, up to an aggregate nominal value of £2,306,090.90. This amount represents one third of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 14th August 2025, the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document.
Resolutions 11 and 12: Disapplication of pre-emption rights
The Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the publication of this document (the 'Pre-Emption Principles') states that a general disapplication of pre-emption rights will likely be supported where a company seeks authority to issue non-pre-emptively for cash shares representing: (i) no more than 10% of its issued share capital on an unrestricted basis (being for any purpose); and (ii) no more than an additional 10% of its issued share capital to be used for an acquisition or a specified capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Pre-Emption Principles. In addition, the Pre-Emption Principles state that, in each case, a company may seek further authority to disapply pre-emption rights for up to 2% of its issued share capital to be used only for the purposes of a follow-on offer of a kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of Section 2B of the Pre-Emption Principles.
Resolution 11 contains a three-part disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights. Other than in connection with a fully pre-emptive offer, the power contained in resolution 11 would be limited to a maximum nominal amount of £830,275.75, which would equate to 16,605,515 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, representing approximately 12% of the Company's issued share capital as at 14th August 2025, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document. Of the £830,272.75, £138,379.29 can only be used for the purposes of making a follow-on offer.
Resolution 12 is a further disapplication of pre-emption rights limited to an additional 10% of issued ordinary share capital to be used for transactions which the Directors determine to be an acquisition or specified capital investment and a further 2% of issued ordinary share capital to be used for making a follow-on offer. This power would be limited to a maximum nominal amount of £830,275.75, which would equate to 16,605,515 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, representing approximately 12% of the Company's issued share capital as at 14th August 2025, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document. Of the £830,272.75, £138,379.29 can only be used for the purposes of making a follow-on offer.
If passed, these authorities will expire at the same time as the authority to allot shares given pursuant to resolution 10.
Resolution 13: Approval for calling of general meetings (other than AGMs) on 14 days' notice
Under company law, the Company is required to give 21 clear days' notice for a general meeting of the Company unless shareholders approve a shorter notice period, which cannot be less than 14 clear days (AGMs must continue to be held on at least 21 clear days' notice).
Resolution 13 proposes a special resolution and seeks shareholder approval to enable the Company to call general meetings, other than AGMs, on at least 14 clear days' notice. The approval will be effective until the Company's next AGM, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed. The flexibility offered by this resolution will be used where, taking into account the circumstances, the Directors consider to be appropriate in relation to the business to be considered at the meeting in question and where it is thought to be to the advantage of shareholders as a whole. In order to be able to call a general meeting on less than 21 clear days' notice, the Company must make a means of electronic voting available to all shareholders for that meeting.
