PART II

NOTES TO THE RESOLUTIONS

RESOLUTION 1 – 2025 ANNUAL REPORT

This resolution deals with the delivery by the Directors to shareholders of the annual accounts and reports of the Company, including the reports of the Directors and auditor for the year ended 31 December 2025.

RESOLUTION 2 – DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION REPORT

In accordance with section 439 of the Companies Act 2006, the Board seeks shareholder approval for the Directors’ Remuneration Report, set out on pages 84 to 103 of the 2025 Annual Report.

The vote on resolution 2 is only advisory, therefore the Directors’ entitlement to remuneration is not conditional on the resolution being passed.

RESOLUTION 3 – DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION POLICY

The Company is required to seek shareholder approval for the Remuneration Policy annually, unless the approved policy remains unchanged, in which case the Company will propose a similar resolution at least once every three years. The current Remuneration Policy was approved by shareholders at the AGM in 2023. Resolution 3 is proposed to approve the revised Directors’ Remuneration Policy contained in the Directors’ Remuneration Report set out on pages 96 to 99 of the 2025 Annual Report. The vote on resolution 3 is a binding vote and, if passed, will mean that the Directors can only make remuneration payments in accordance with the approved policy.

RESOLUTION 4 – FINAL DIVIDEND

Shareholders are asked to approve the final dividend in respect of the year ended 31 December 2025, which cannot be more than the amount that the Directors recommend. If resolution 4 is passed, the proposed final dividend of 6.59p per ordinary share will be paid on 22 May 2026 to ordinary shareholders who are on the register of members at close of business on 24 April 2026.

RESOLUTIONS 5 AND 6 – APPOINTMENT AND REMUNERATION OF THE AUDITOR

The auditor of the Company must be re-appointed by shareholders at each general meeting at which the accounts are presented. Ernst & Young LLP has expressed a willingness to continue in office and resolution 5 proposes their re-appointment from the conclusion of the AGM until the conclusion of the next general meeting of the Company at which accounts are presented.

In resolution 6, the Directors seek the usual shareholder authority to agree the auditor’s remuneration.

RESOLUTIONS 7 TO 14 – ELECTION OR RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Company follows the requirements of the 2024 UK Corporate Governance Code in relation to the annual re-election of all Directors.

Biographical details of all Directors standing for election or re-election, including a statement of their contribution to the long-term success of the Company, are set out in Appendix 1 on pages 11 to 13 and can be found on pages 63 to 65 of the Annual Report and Accounts. They are also available on the investor website at plc.rightmove.co.uk.

Following the outcome of the Board performance review process, the Nomination Committee concluded that all Directors:

i. have the necessary skills for and make an effective and valuable contribution to Board meetings, and to the meetings of the committees on which they sit; and
ii. demonstrate a strong commitment to their roles and the Company.

The Board therefore recommends the election or re-election of all the Directors seeking election or re-election by virtue of their skills, experience and contribution to the Board and to the long-term success of the Company.

RESOLUTION 15 – ALLOTMENT OF SHARES

The Directors may not allot new shares in the Company unless authorised to do so by shareholders in general meeting. Resolution 15 is proposed as an ordinary resolution to replace the authority granted in May 2025, which is due to expire at the conclusion of this AGM. If approved by shareholders, this authority will expire at the conclusion of the AGM of the Company to be held in 2027 or, if earlier, the close of business on 30 June 2027.

Resolution 15 grants the Directors authority to allot ordinary shares in the Company, or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into ordinary shares of the Company, up to an aggregate nominal value of £253,404, representing approximately 33.33 percent of the Company’s issued ordinary share capital (excluding shares held in treasury) as at the close of business on 16 March 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice).

All existing share-based incentives can be satisfied from shares held in the Rightmove plc Employee Benefit Trust ('EBT') or from shares held in treasury, without any requirement to issue further shares. It is intended that share-based incentive awards granted or vesting in 2026 will also be settled from shares held in the EBT or from shares held in treasury so that the Company will not need to issue further shares.

Save as described above, the Directors have no present intention of issuing new shares in the Company. At the close of business on 16 March 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice) the Company held 10,667,926 ordinary shares in treasury, representing 1.4 percent of the Company’s total ordinary shares in issue (excluding shares held in treasury).


7

RESOLUTIONS 16 AND 17 – DISAPPLICATION OF PRE-EMPTION RIGHTS

The Directors request limited authority from shareholders to allot ordinary shares or sell the ordinary shares held in treasury for cash otherwise than to existing shareholders pro rata to their holdings, as the Company would normally be required to do under the statutory pre-emption rights contained in section 561 of the Companies Act 2006.

The Directors intend to continue following the provisions of the Pre-Emption Group’s Statement of Principles regarding authority to issue equity securities non-pre-emptively and accordingly propose two separate resolutions to replace the corresponding authorities granted in May 2025, which are due to expire at the conclusion of this AGM.

i. Resolution 16, if passed, will allow the Company to deal with pro-rata share issues, such as rights issues, in a more practical manner with regard to fractional entitlements to shares and to exclude certain overseas shareholders from participating in share issues in circumstances, for example, where there are restrictive or onerous laws in such countries. Apart from such offers of shares, this authority will be limited to the issue of shares and sale of shares held in treasury for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of £38,014 being approximately 5 percent of the total ordinary share capital of the Company (excluding shares held in treasury) as at the close of business on 16 March 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice).

ii. Resolution 17, if passed, will allow the Company to issue shares or sell shares held in treasury for cash for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the authority is used within six months of the original transaction) an acquisition or specified capital investment which the Board believes is contemplated by the Pre-Emption Group’s Statement of Principles. This authority is limited to an aggregate nominal value of £38,014 being approximately 5 percent of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company (excluding shares held in treasury) as at the close of business on 16 March 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice).

If granted, the authorities in resolutions 16 and 17 will expire at the conclusion of the AGM of the Company to be held in 2027 or, if earlier, the close of business on 30 June 2027.

RESOLUTION 18 – PURCHASE OF THE COMPANY’S OWN SHARES

Resolution 18, if passed, will provide authority for the Company to purchase its issued ordinary shares (excluding shares held in treasury) in the market at a price (exclusive of expenses) not less than 0.1p per ordinary share and not more than the highest of:

i. an amount equal to 105 percent of the average market value for an ordinary share for the five business days immediately preceding the date of the purchase; and
ii. the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on the trading venues where the purchase is carried out.

The maximum authority sought is up to 10 percent of the Company’s total issued ordinary share capital (excluding shares held in treasury) as at the close of business on 16 March 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice). This authority will allow sufficient flexibility for the Company to continue its share buyback programme, in line with its stated capital allocation policy, which in 2025 resulted in 21.4 million 0.1p shares being repurchased and cancelled. The effect of such purchases could be to reduce the number of shares outside treasury (and, if the purchased shares are cancelled, the number of shares in issue). The Directors will only exercise this authority if they consider this to be effective capital management and the buyback would be in the best interests of shareholders generally, taking into account relevant factors and circumstances at that time, for example the effect on earnings per share. If granted, this authority will expire at the conclusion of the AGM of the Company to be held in 2027 or, if earlier, the close of business on 30 June 2027.

In the event that shares are purchased, they would either be cancelled (and the number of shares in the Company would be reduced accordingly) or, subject to the Companies Act 2006, retained as shares held in treasury. Treasury shares may be held by the Company with a view to possible re-sale at a future date rather than being cancelled. The Company will consider holding as treasury shares any shares purchased pursuant to the authority conferred by this resolution. This would give the Company the ability to re-issue treasury shares quickly and cost effectively and would provide the Company with additional flexibility in the management of its share capital.

The Directors wish to emphasise that the maximum number of ordinary shares and the price range are stated merely for the purposes of compliance with statutory and UK Listing Authority requirements and should not be taken as any representation of the terms upon which the Company may purchase shares.

As at the close of business on 16 March 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice), there were outstanding 6,630,257 share-based incentives which could be satisfied by the issue of ordinary shares representing 0.87 percent of the Company’s ordinary share capital (excluding shares held in treasury). It is expected that all outstanding share-based incentives which could be satisfied by the issue of ordinary shares will be satisfied from shares held in the SIP Trust, the EBT or from shares held in treasury without the requirement to allot additional shares. If the existing authority given at the 2025 AGM and the authority now being sought by resolution 18 were to be exercised in full, the share-based incentives which could be satisfied by the issue of ordinary shares would represent 0.97 percent of the then Company’s issued ordinary share capital (excluding shares bought back into treasury) and would, taking into account only the authority being sought (on the basis that the existing authority will expire on the date of the AGM), represent 1.06 percent.


8

RESOLUTION 19 – POLITICAL DONATIONS

Part 14 of the Companies Act 2006, amongst other things, prohibits the Company and its subsidiaries from making political donations and from incurring political expenditure in respect of a political party or other political organisation or an independent candidate unless authorised by the Company's shareholders.

It remains the policy of the Company not to make any political donations or to incur any political expenditure and the Directors have no intention of using the authority for that purpose. However, the legislation is widely drafted and it is possible that the Company or any of its subsidiaries may wish to support organisations which are not believed to be political in the ordinary sense but which might come within the scope of the provisions in the Companies Act 2006, including organisations concerned with matters such as the review and reform of government policy or the law. For example, a donation to a humanitarian charity which operates as a political lobby, sponsorship, subscriptions, paid leave to employees fulfilling public duties and payments to industry representative bodies may constitute a donation to a political organisation within the current definitions. Therefore, to avoid any inadvertent infringement of the legislation, the Directors consider it prudent to seek shareholder approval for the Company and its subsidiaries to make political donations and incur political expenditure pursuant to the Companies Act 2006.

RESOLUTION 20 – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS

Under the Companies Act 2006, the notice period required for all general meetings of the Company is 21 days. AGMs will always be held on at least 21 clear days' notice, but shareholders can approve a shorter notice period for other general meetings, as long as this is not less than 14 clear days.

Resolution 20 seeks authority for the Company to be able to continue to call general meetings, apart from AGMs, on not less than 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. This shorter notice period will not be used as a matter of routine but only where flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be to the advantage of shareholders as a whole.

To be valid, any proxy form or other instrument appointing a proxy must be received by post at MUFG Corporate Markets, FREEPOST PXS 1 or by hand at our Registrars, MUFG Corporate Markets, PXS 1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL (during normal business hours only), or electronically via the internet at https://uk.investorcentre.mpms.mufg.com/ or via the Investor Centre app, if you are a CREST member, via CREST, or If you are an institutional investor you may be able to appoint a proxy via the Proxymity platform, in each case no later than 10.00am (UK time) on Wednesday, 6 May 2026 or no later than 48 hours before any adjourned meeting, excluding non-business days.

  2. The submission of a completed proxy form, other such instrument or any CREST or Proxymity Proxy Instruction (as described in notes 9 and 12) will not prevent a shareholder attending the AGM and voting in person if he/she wishes to do so. Unless otherwise indicated on the Form of Proxy, CREST, Proxymity or any other electronic voting instruction, the proxy will vote as they think fit or, at their discretion, withhold from voting.

  3. Any person to whom this Notice is sent who is nominated under section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 to enjoy information rights (a 'Nominated Person') may, under an agreement between him/her and the shareholder by whom he/she was nominated, have a right to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy for the AGM. If a Nominated Person has no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it, he/she may, under any such agreement, have a right to give instructions to the shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights. Such persons should direct any communications and enquiries to the registered holder of the shares by whom they were nominated and not to the Company or its Registrars.

  4. The statement of the rights of shareholders in relation to the appointment of proxies in notes 2 and 3 above does not apply to Nominated Persons. The rights described in these paragraphs can only be exercised by shareholders of the Company.

  5. To be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM (and for the purpose of the determination by the Company of the votes they may cast), shareholders must be registered in the Register of Members of the Company at close of business on Wednesday, 6 May 2026 (or, in the event of any adjournment, close of business on the date which is two working days before the time of the adjourned meeting). Changes to the Register of Members after the relevant deadline shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the AGM.

  6. As at 16 March 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice) the Company's issued share capital consists of 770,956,827 ordinary shares of 0.1 pence carrying one vote each, of which 10,667,926 are held in treasury. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company as at 16 March 2026 were 760,288,901.

  7. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so 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 service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take appropriate action on their behalf.

  8. 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 www.euroclear.com). 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 RA10) by 10.00am (UK time) on Wednesday, 6 May 2026. 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 message. 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, to procure that their 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 system providers are referred in particular to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

  2. 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.

  3. If you are an institutional investor you may also 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 10.00am (UK time) on Wednesday, 6 May 2026 in order to be considered valid or, in the event of any adjournment, close of business on the date which is two working days before the time of the adjourned meeting. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's associated terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by them and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy. An electronic proxy appointment via the Proxymity platform may be revoked completely by sending an authenticated message via the platform instructing the removal of your proxy vote.

  4. Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a member provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares.

  5. In the case of joint shareholders, the signature of any of them will do, but the names of all joint holders should be shown. The vote of the senior holder who submits a vote whether in person or by proxy shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holder(s); for this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names appear on the joint holding in the Register of Members.

  6. Under section 527 of the Companies Act 2006 members meeting the threshold requirements set out in that section have the right to require the Company to publish on a website a statement setting out any matter relating to:

i. the audit of the Company's accounts (including the auditor's report and the conduct of the audit) that are to be laid before the AGM; or
ii. any circumstance connected with an auditor of the Company ceasing to hold office since the previous meeting at which annual accounts and reports were laid in accordance with section 437 of the Companies Act 2006. The Company may not require the shareholders requesting any such website publication to pay its expenses in complying with sections 527 or 528 of the Companies Act 2006. Where the Company is required to place a statement on a website under section 527 of the Companies Act 2006, it must forward the statement to the Company's auditor not later than the time when it makes the statement available on the website. The business which may be dealt with at the AGM includes any statement that the Company has been required under section 527 of the Companies Act 2006 to publish on a website.

  1. Any member attending the AGM 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 AGM but no such answer need be given if:

i. to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the AGM or involve the disclosure of confidential information;
ii. the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question; or
iii. it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the AGM that the question be answered.

  1. Personal data provided by shareholders at or in relation to the AGM (including names, contact details, votes and Shareholder Reference Numbers) will be processed in line with the Company's privacy policy which is available at www.rightmove.co.uk/c/privacy-policy/.

  2. A copy of this Notice of AGM, and other information required by section 311A of the Companies Act 2006, can be found at plc.rightmove.co.uk.

  3. You may not use any electronic address provided either in the Notice of AGM or any related documents (including the Chair's letter) to communicate for any purposes other than those expressly stated.

  4. Copies of the following documents are available for inspection at the Company's registered office or from the Company Secretary at [email protected] from the date of this Notice until the date of the AGM and will be available for inspection at the place of the AGM for at least 15 minutes prior to and during the meeting:
