Notes

1. Your proxy

Every shareholder has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice, who need not be a shareholder, as his/her proxy to exercise all or any of his/her rights to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the Meeting.

Members can appoint a proxy by completing and returning a hard copy proxy form. A hard copy proxy form has been provided with this notice of meeting. Such forms should be completed and returned to the company's Registrars, Equiniti, at Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 6DA so as to be received by no later than 9:00am on Tuesday 5 May 2026. Alternatively, a member may appoint a proxy online by following the instructions for the electronic appointment of a proxy at www.shareview.co.uk. To be a valid proxy appointment, the member's electronic message confirming the details of the appointment completed in accordance with those instructions must be transmitted so as to be received by the same time. Appointing a proxy will not prevent a member from attending in person and voting at the AGM.

If your 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 proxy form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account). To appoint more than one proxy, additional proxy forms may be obtained by contacting the company's registrars, Equiniti, on +44 (0)371 384 2417 or you may photocopy this form. Lines are open from 8.30am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday. Please indicate 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. Please also indicate by ticking the box provided if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given.

2. The resolutions

You can show how you want your proxy to vote on each of the resolutions. Full details of the resolutions together with explanatory notes are set out in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting. The 'Vote withheld' option on the proxy form is provided to enable you to withhold your vote on any particular resolution. However, it should be noted that a withheld vote 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.

3. Your signature

You must sign and date the proxy form. If it is signed by someone else on your behalf, the power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed (or a copy of the authority certified notarially) must be returned together with the proxy form.

In the case of a corporation, the proxy must be executed under its common seal or signed by a duly authorised officer. In the case of joint shareholders, the signature of any one holder will be sufficient but the names of the joint shareholders must be stated. The vote of the senior joint holder who tenders a vote shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders. Seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the holders stand in the register of members in respect of the joint holding.

4. Return of proxy form

Please detach and return the proxy form to the company's registrars, Equiniti, at the address below. If you do not want to return the proxy form without it being in an envelope, please return it in an envelope to:
