Dear Shareholder,

The return of a completed proxy form will not prevent you attending the AGM and voting in person if you wish to do so.
Our search for a new independent Chair and an independent Non -executive Director commenced in 2024. However, the recruitment process and future skill needs of the Board have been influenced by Sir David McMurtry's death, as covered in more detail in the 2025 Annual Report. Richard McMurtry, one of David's sons, joined our Board as a Non -executive Director in July 2024. In July 2025, Renishaw's co -founder John Deer stepped down as Deputy Chair, although he remains a Non -executive Director. We were pleased to announce the appointment of John's granddaughter, Camille Deer, as a Non executive Director, with effect from 1 September 2025, subject to shareholder approval.
As I explain in more detail in the Annual Report 2025 Chair's Statement, after a career of over 46 years with Renishaw plc, Allen Roberts has agreed with the Board that he will step down from his position as Group Finance Director and will not stand for re -election at this AGM on 26 November 2025. A process has commenced to recruit a Chief Financial Officer.
In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, each of the Directors will retire at this year's AGM and the continuing Directors will stand for re -election or, in the case of Camille Deer, election by shareholders. Following this year's internal Board performance review, the Board considers that all Directors continue to make an effective and valuable contribution and demonstrate commitment to their respective roles. In addition, the Board is satisfied that each of the Independent Non -executive Directors remains independent in character and judgement and that there are no relationships or circumstances likely to affect their character or judgement. Further details on the skills, experience and contribution of each of the Directors standing for election or re -election (as the case may be) can be found in the biographies on pages 6 and 7.
You are asked to consider and, if thought fit, pass the resolutions set out in the notice on page 3 of this document. All of these resolutions will be proposed as ordinary resolutions, save for Resolution 15 which will be proposed as a special resolution.
For an ordinary resolution to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution. For a special resolution to be passed, at least three-quarters of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution. In relation to Resolutions 6 and 8 to 10 inclusive, which relate to the re-election of the Independent Directors, these resolutions are put to a dual vote such that a count of the votes is taken of 1) the shareholders as a whole and 2) the shareholders excluding the controlling shareholder or shareholders and their associates, as explained in the Explanatory notes.
Your Board considers each of the proposed resolutions to be in the best interests of the Company and shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, your Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the resolutions, as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings.
The results of the voting will be announced via a Regulatory Information Service and published on our website www.renishaw.com/investor as soon as practicable following the conclusion of the AGM.
Yours faithfully,
17 September 2025
Notice is hereby given that the 52nd Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held at its offices at New Mills, Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire GL12 8JR on Wednesday, 26 November 2025 at 10:00am.
Resolutions 1 to 14 inclusive will be proposed as ordinary resolutions. For each of these resolutions to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution. Resolution 15 will be proposed as a special resolution. For this resolution to be passed, at least three-quarters of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution.
That the Company be and is hereby unconditionally authorised for the purposes of Section 701 of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act) to make one or more market purchases (within the meaning of section 693(4) of the 2006 Act) of ordinary shares of 20p each in the capital of the Company (ordinary shares), on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine, provided that:
Group General Counsel & Company Secretary
17 September 2025
Registered office: New Mills, Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire GL12 8JR
Registered in England and Wales under number: 01106260
The Directors are required to present the reports of the Directors and the auditor, and the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2025 (the Annual Report) to the shareholders at the AGM.
Listed companies are required to prepare a Directors' Remuneration Report and present it to shareholders for approval at the AGM on an annual basis. The Directors' Remuneration Report is set out on pages 89 to 101 of the Annual Report. Resolution 2 is an advisory vote and does not affect the future remuneration paid to any Director.
At the AGM in 2023, the Directors' Remuneration Policy was approved by shareholders. The Directors' Remuneration Policy is not therefore required to be approved by shareholders at the AGM this year. The Policy will be put to shareholders again no later than the Company's AGM in 2026.
The Directors recommend that a final dividend of 61.3p per share be paid to each shareholder on the Register of Members as at the close of business on 31 October 2025. Subject to approval by shareholders, the payment date for the final dividend will be 5 December 2025.
In accordance with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code, all current Directors at the date of the AGM will retire at the AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election or, in the case of any Director who was first appointed to the Board since the last AGM, election to office. The Board (supported by the Nomination Committee) has confirmed, following a performance review, that all Directors standing for election or re-election continue to perform effectively and demonstrate commitment to their roles. Sir David Grant is standing for re-election in order to fulfil his role as Interim Non-executive Chair pending the conclusion of our search for a permanent Chair and was considered independent on appointment. Biographies of each of the Directors seeking election or re-election (as the case may be) and the reasons why their specific contributions are, and continue to be, important to the Company's long-term sustainable success, are set out on pages 6 to 7.
The UK Listing Rules require companies that have a controlling shareholder or shareholders (that is, they exercise or control in concert more than 30% of the voting rights of the Company) to put the election or re-election of independent directors to a dual vote of: (i) the shareholders as a whole; and (ii) the independent shareholders, being any person entitled to vote on the election of directors who is not a controlling shareholder of the Company. The Company considers that it has controlling shareholders by virtue of the estate of the late Sir David McMurtry having an interest in the Company (36.23% shareholding) and by virtue of John Deer (Non-executive Deputy Chair) and his wife (together 16.59% shareholders) having a voting agreement in place with the late Sir David McMurtry.
The Independent Directors for the purposes of the UK Listing Rules are each of Catherine Glickman, Juliette Stacey, Stephen Wilson and Dame Karen Holford, who are the Directors that the Board has determined are Independent Directors for the purposes of the UK Corporate Governance Code. Resolutions 6 and 8 to 10 (inclusive) are therefore being proposed as ordinary resolutions which all shareholders may vote on, but in addition the Company will separately count the number of votes cast by independent shareholders in favour of the resolution (as a proportion of the total votes of independent shareholders cast on the resolution) to determine whether the threshold referred to in (ii) above has been met. The Company will announce the results of the resolutions on this basis as well as announcing the results of the ordinary resolutions of all shareholders.
Under the UK Listing Rules, if a resolution to elect or re-elect an independent director is not approved by a majority vote of both the shareholders as a whole and the independent shareholders of the Company at the AGM, a further resolution may be put forward to be approved by the shareholders as a whole at a meeting which must be held more than 90 days after but within 120 days of the first vote. Accordingly, if any of Resolutions 6 and 8 to 10 (inclusive) are not approved by a majority vote of the Company's independent shareholders at the AGM, the relevant director(s) will be treated as having been elected or re-elected (as the case may be) only for the period from the date of the AGM until the earlier of: (i) the close of any general meeting of the Company, convened for a date more than 90 days after the AGM but within 120 days of the AGM, to propose a further resolution to elect or re-elect him or her; (ii) the date which is 120 days after the AGM; and (iii) the date of any announcement by the Board that it does not intend to hold a second vote. In the event that the director's election or re-election is approved by a majority vote of all shareholders at a second meeting, the director will then be elected or re-elected until the next AGM.
The Company is required by the UK Listing Rules to provide details of:
The Company confirms the following to meet these requirements:
There are no existing or previous relationships, transactions or arrangements between each Independent Director and the Company, any of its Directors, any controlling shareholder of the Company or any associate of such a controlling shareholder.
Each of the Independent Directors continues to be effective, to contribute to the performance of the Board and to demonstrate commitment to his or her role. In addition to the Board/Committee meetings and AGM, they attend and contribute to executive management events and Capital Markets Days, and each of them provides additional support to the Board and the Company on a specific area of interest related to his or her skills and experience, which for Catherine Glickman is HR matters, for Juliette Stacey is finance, for Stephen Wilson is the software sector, global business and investor relations, and for Dame Karen Holford is engineering and research and development.
The Board has determined that each Independent Director is independent by considering the various relationships referred to above and obtaining confirmation from the Company's senior management and the relevant Independent Director that the relevant Independent Director was not involved in any decisions relating to the dealings referred to or any other dealing between the Independent Director or any organisation with which he or she is connected and the Company, any of its directors, any controlling shareholder of the Company or any associates of such a controlling shareholder.
In relation to the selection process for the Independent Directors, Catherine Glickman, Juliette Stacey, Stephen Wilson and Dame Karen Holford were selected as a result of a recruitment process supported by an executive search consultancy to a specification determined by the Board.
The Company is required to appoint an auditor at each general meeting at which the Company's annual accounts and reports are laid, to hold office until the end of the next such meeting. It is proposed that Ernst & Young LLP be reappointed as the Company's auditor from the conclusion of the AGM until the conclusion of the next general meeting of the Company at which the Company's annual accounts and reports are laid. Further details in relation to the auditor are set out in the Audit Committee Report on pages 83 to 88 of the Annual Report.
This resolution seeks authority for the Audit Committee of the Board to decide the auditor's remuneration.
This resolution renews the previous authority granted on 27 November 2024, which expires on the date of the forthcoming AGM. The resolution authorises the Company to make market purchases of its own ordinary shares. The authority limits the number of shares that could be purchased to a maximum of 7,278,854 representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company on 16 September 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice of Meeting) and sets minimum and maximum prices.
The Directors have no present intention of exercising the authority to purchase the Company's ordinary shares but will keep the matter under review, taking into account market conditions, the cash reserves of the Company, the Company's share price, appropriate gearing levels, other investment opportunities and the overall financial position of the Company. The authority will be exercised only if to do so would be likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its shareholders as a whole.
Any purchases of ordinary shares would most likely be by means of market purchases through the London Stock Exchange. The authority will only be valid until the conclusion of the Company's next AGM or, if earlier, 31 December 2026.
Listed companies purchasing their own shares are allowed to hold them in treasury, as an alternative to cancelling them. Shares held in treasury may subsequently be cancelled, sold for cash or used to satisfy share awards under share plans. Once held in treasury, the Company is not entitled to exercise any rights, including the right to attend and vote at meetings in respect of the shares. Further, no dividend or other distribution of the Company's assets may be made to the Company in respect of the treasury shares.
Any shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the authority conferred by Resolution 15 will either be cancelled and the number of shares reduced accordingly or, if the Directors think fit, they may be held as treasury shares. As at 16 September 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice of Meeting), the Company held no ordinary shares in treasury and there were no outstanding warrants or options to subscribe for ordinary shares in the capital of the Company.

We are aware some of our shareholders have received unsolicited calls or correspondence, offering to buy or sell their shares for a price in excess of the current market price. The callers can be very persuasive and extremely persistent and often have professional websites and telephone numbers to support their activities. These callers will sometimes imply a connection to Renishaw and provide incorrect or misleading information. Please be aware this is likely to be a scam – the safest thing to do is hang up.
You are advised to be wary of unsolicited advice or offers to buy shares. See www.fca.org.uk/consumers/protect-yourself-scams for further advice.
Find out more or report suspected fraud to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) on their consumer helpline 0800 111 6768 (overseas callers dial +44 207 066 1000) or using the share fraud reporting form available at www.fca.org.uk/consumers/ report-scam.
If you have already paid money to share fraudsters contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 (overseas callers dial +44 300 123 2040) or their online fraud reporting tool at www.actionfraud.police.uk/reporting-fraud-and-cyber-crime.
