In the case of a member who is an individual the revocation notice must be under the hand of the appointer or of their attorney duly authorised in writing or in the case of a member which is a company, the revocation notice must be executed under its common seal or under the hand of an officer of the company or an attorney duly authorised. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the revocation notice is signed (or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the revocation notice.

• 1.

However, a Nominated Person may have a right under an agreement between the Nominated Person and the member by whom they were nominated to be appointed, or to have someone else appointed, as a proxy for the meeting. If a Nominated Person has no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it, they may have a right under such an agreement to give instructions to the member as to the exercise of voting rights at the meeting.
• 1. Nominated Persons are reminded that their main point of contact in terms of their investment in the Company remains the member who nominated the Nominated Person to enjoy information rights (or, perhaps the custodian or broker who administers the investment on their behalf). Nominated Persons should continue to contact that member, custodian or broker (and not the Company) regarding any changes or queries relating to the Nominated Person's personal details and interest in the Company (including any administrative matter). The only exception to this is where the Company expressly requests a response from a Nominated Person.
• 1. Only those members registered on the register of members of the Company at 6.00 p.m. on 21 May 2024 (the "Specified Time") (or, if the meeting is adjourned, 48 hours (excluding any part of a day that is a Saturday, Sunday or UK public holiday) before the time of the adjourned meeting) shall be entitled to vote at the meeting in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time.

• 1. CREST members who wish to appoint the Chairman as proxy 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. 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.
• 1. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using 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 specifications and must contain the information required for such instruction, as described in the CREST Manual (available via http://www.euroclear.com/CREST). 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 issuer's agent (ID 3RA50) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified in Note 2 above. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the time stamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the issuer'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.

• 1. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear UK & International Limited 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/ her 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 (www.euroclear.com/CREST).
• 1. 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).
• 1. If you are an institutional investor you may be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 1.00 p.m. on 21 May 2024 in order to be considered valid.

Accordingly, Resolution 4 proposes the reappointment of PwC as auditor to the Company and Resolution 5 authorises the Audit and Risk Committee, on behalf of the Board, to determine their remuneration.

Re-election of Directors (Resolutions 6 – 10)

Each of the Directors were appointed on 4 September 2021. Each of the Directors will resign and stand for re-election pursuant to the Articles in order to give Shareholders the opportunity to vote on their continued appointment.

Biographical details of all the Directors standing for re-election appear on pages 48 and 49 of the Annual Report and Accounts.

An internal evaluation of the Board, its Committees, and individual Directors was conducted during Q4 2023 in the form of performance appraisals, questionnaires and discussions to determine effectiveness and performance in various areas, as well as the Directors' continued independence and tenure. This process was facilitated by the Company Secretary and the results of this review are reported in the Annual Report.

An external review of the Board and its Committees will next be conducted in 2024 in line with Corporate Governance requirements.

The Chairman confirms that the performance of each of the Directors standing for re-election continues to be effective and they continue to make a valuable contribution and demonstrate commitment to their respective roles. The Board is satisfied that each non-executive Director offering themselves for election remains of independent character and judgment and that there are no relationships or circumstances which are likely to affect or could appear to affect, their judgement. The Board, therefore, believes that each of the Directors should be re-elected.

Authority to allot ordinary shares (Resolution 11)

The Directors may only allot shares, or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares in the capital of the Company with the prior authorisation of the Shareholders under section 551 of CA 2006. Resolution 11(a)(i) seeks authority for the Directors to allot shares, and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of US\$3,731,930, which is approximately one-third of the Company's current issued ordinary share capital as at 22 April 2024, being the latest practicable date before the publication of this Notice.

In addition, Resolution 11(a)(ii) seeks authority for the Directors to allot shares, and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares, up to an aggregate nominal amount of US\$7,463,861 in connection with a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders by way of a rights issue (with exclusions to deal with fractional entitlements to shares and overseas shareholders to whom the rights issue cannot be made due to legal and practical problems).

This authority will expire immediately following the AGM in 2025 or at close of business on 30 June 2025, whichever is the earlier.

As at 22 April 2024, being the latest practicable date before the publication of this Notice, the Company held no equity securities in treasury.

The Directors have no present intention of exercising this authority but consider it prudent to maintain the flexibility that this authority provides.

Disapplication of pre-emption rights (Resolutions 12 and 13)

If the Directors wish to exercise the authority under Resolution 11 and allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert securities into, shares, or sell treasury shares for cash, CA 2006 requires that unless Shareholders have given specific authority for the waiver of their statutory pre- emption rights, the new shares must be offered first to existing Shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings. In certain circumstances, it may be in the best interests of the Company to allot new shares (or to grant rights over shares) for cash or to sell treasury shares for cash without first offering them to existing Shareholders in proportion to their holdings. In addition, there may be occasions when the Directors need the flexibility to finance business opportunities by allotting shares without a pre-emptive offer to existing Shareholders, and this can be done if the Shareholders have first given a limited waiver of their pre-emption rights.

Resolutions 12 and 13 ask Shareholders to grant this limited waiver. The Resolutions will be proposed as special resolutions.

Resolution 12 contains a three-part waiver. The first is limited to the allotment of shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of US\$1,119,579 (which includes the sale on a non-pre-emptive basis of any shares held in treasury), which represents approximately 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 22 April 2024 (the latest practicable date before the publication of this notice). The second is limited to the allotment of shares for cash in connection with a rights issue to allow the Directors to make appropriate exclusions and other arrangements to resolve legal or practical problems which, for

example, might arise in relation to overseas Shareholders. The third part applies to the allotment of shares for cash for the purposes of a follow-on offer when an allotment of shares has been made under the first waiver. It is limited to the allotment of shares having an aggregate nominal value of up to 20% of the nominal value of any shares allotted under the first waiver. The follow-on offer must be determined by the Directors to be of a kind contemplated by the Pre-Emption Group's 2022 Statement of Principles.

The waiver granted by Resolution 13 is in addition to the waiver granted by Resolution 12 and itself has two parts. The first part is limited to the allotment of shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of US\$1,119,579 (which includes the sale on a non-pre-emptive basis of any shares held in treasury), which represents a further 10% (approximately) of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 22 April 2024 (the latest practicable date before the publication of this notice). This further waiver may only be used for an allotment of shares for cash for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the waiver is used within twelve months of the original transaction) a transaction which the directors determine to be an acquisition or other capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Pre-emption Group's 2022 Statement of Principles. The second part of the waiver applies to the allotment of shares for cash for the purposes of a follow-on offer when an allotment of shares has been made under the first part of the waiver. It is limited to the allotment of shares having an aggregate nominal value of up to 20% of the nominal value of any shares allotted under the first part of the waiver. The follow-on offer must be determined by the directors to be of a kind contemplated by the Pre-Emption Group's 2022 Statement of Principles.

If given, the authority will expire at the conclusion of the next AGM in 2025 or on 30 June 2025, whichever is earlier.

As at 22 April 2024, being the latest practicable date before the publication of this Notice, the Company held no equity securities in treasury.

In accordance with the Listing Rules, any non-pre-emptive issue of shares will be priced at or above the then prevailing net asset value per share unless prior shareholder approval is obtained. The Directors have no present intention of exercising this authority but consider it prudent to maintain the flexibility that this authority provides.

Authority for the Company to purchase its own shares (Resolution 14)

This resolution proposes to renew the general buyback authority granted at last year's AGM which expires on the date of the AGM. The resolution is to authorise the Company to buy back up to 108,170,816 ordinary shares and is separate to Resolution 15 below, which seeks an additional authority in respect of the Tender Offer. The authority will expire at the conclusion of the 2025 AGM following the resolution being passed or 30 June 2025, whichever is earlier. The Board intends to seek renewal of this authority at subsequent AGMs in accordance with current best practice.

The resolution specifies the maximum number of ordinary shares which may be purchased (representing 10 per cent. of the Company's issued ordinary share capital immediately following the completion of the Tender Offer, assuming that the Tender Offer completes and 37,870,955 ordinary shares are purchased in the Tender Offer, which is the maximum number of ordinary shares that the Company is seeking authority to purchase pursuant to Resolution 15 below) and the maximum and minimum prices at which they may be bought, exclusive of expenses.

Any purchases of ordinary shares would be by means of market purchases through the London Stock Exchange.

The authority will be exercised only if the Directors believe that to do so would result in an increase in earnings per share and would be likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its Shareholders as a whole.

Under CA 2006, the Company is allowed to hold its own shares in treasury following a buy back, instead of having to cancel them. This gives the Company the ability to re-issue treasury shares quickly and cost-effectively (including pursuant to the authority under Resolution 11 above) and provides the Company with additional flexibility in the management of its capital base. Such shares may be resold for cash but all rights attaching to them, including voting rights and any right to receive dividends are suspended whilst they are held in treasury. If the Board exercises the authority conferred by Resolution 14, the Company will have the option of either holding in treasury or of cancelling any of its own shares purchased pursuant to this authority and will decide at the time of purchase which option to pursue.

Authority for the Company to purchase its own shares in connection with the Tender Offer (Resolution 15)

This resolution proposes to grant the Company specific authority to buy back ordinary shares in connection with the Tender Offer, by which the Company proposes to invite certain qualifying Shareholders to tender ordinary shares for purchase by Merrill Lynch International (from whom the Company, in turn, expects to purchase an equivalent number ordinary shares) on the terms and conditions set out in the Circular accompanying this Notice.

The resolution would authorise the Company to buy back up to 37,870,955 ordinary shares and is separate to Resolution 14 above, which seeks a general buyback authority. The authority will expire on 31 July 2024. The Board does not intend to seek renewal of this authority at subsequent AGMs.

The resolution specifies the maximum number of ordinary shares which may be purchased (representing 3.4 per cent. of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 22 April 2024) and the maximum and minimum prices at which they may be bought, exclusive of expenses. As the Tender Offer is proposed to be undertaken at a fixed price, the maximum and minimum price are the same.

Any purchases of ordinary shares would be by means of market purchases through the London Stock Exchange.

The authority will be exercised only if the Directors believe that to do so would result in an increase in earnings per share and would be likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its Shareholders as a whole.

Notice period for General Meetings other than AGMs (Resolution 16)

This resolution is to allow the Company to hold general meetings (other than an annual general meeting) on 14 clear days' notice. The notice period required by the Companies Act 2006 for general meetings of the Company is 21 clear days unless: (i) Shareholders approve a shorter notice period, which cannot however be less than 14 clear days; and (ii) the Company offers the facility for all Shareholders to vote by electronic means. Annual general meetings must always be held on at least 21 clear days' notice. It is intended that the flexibility offered by this resolution will only be used where merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be in the interests of Shareholders as a whole. The approval will be effective until the Company's next AGM, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed.

Note from the Board:

You will find enclosed a Form of Proxy for use at the AGM. Please complete, sign and return the enclosed form as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions printed thereon, whether or not you intend to be present at the AGM.
