Explanatory Notes:

We are now hosting our Class Meeting as a combined physical and electronic meeting.

We will update our shareholders as soon as reasonably possible regarding any change to the date, time or location of the meeting. As such, please monitor our website and regulatory news services for any updates or contact our branch registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited (Tel: 2862 8555).

For further details please see the Notice of Class Meeting 2024.

If you are an ordinary shareholder you may attend, speak and vote electronically at the CM or appoint one or more proxy(ies) to exercise all or any of your rights to attend and to speak and vote in person or on your behalf at the Company's Class Meeting 2024. You may appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend and to speak and vote on your behalf by completing the Form of Proxy above or by voting online to advance at www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy. If you wish to appoint a proxy other than the Chair of the CM, you should enter the name of the proxy into the appropriate space on the Form of Proxy above. If you sign and return the Form of Proxy with no name inserted in the box, the Chair of the CM will be deemed to be your proxy. The Board strongly encourages shareholders to vote on all resolutions by completing their proxy form to appoint the Chair of the CM to cast their votes as directed (even if you plan to attend the CM electronically). This is to ensure that your vote is counted if you are unable to attend and cast your vote on the day of the CM. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to part of your holding only, please enter in the box next to the proxy's name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If this box is left blank they will be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement.

You may appoint more than one proxy provided that each proxy is appointed in respect of the rights attached to a different share or shares held by you. You may not appoint more than one proxy to exercise rights attached to any one share. To appoint more than one proxy, please contact our branch registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited (Tel: 2862 8555) to request further Forms of Proxy. Alternatively, you may photocopy this Form of Proxy. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy's name the number of shares or relation to which they are entitled to act as your proxy. Please also indicate by listing the box at the top of the Form of Proxy if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. No proxy may be authorised to exercise votes which any other proxy has been authorised to exercise. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.

In the case of joint shareholders, only one shareholder need sign. In the case of a corporation, this proxy must be given under its common seal or be signed on its behalf by an attorney or officer duly authorised, stating their capacity (e.g. director, secretary).

1. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. Where you appoint as your proxy someone other than the Chair of the CM, you are responsible for ensuring that they attend the CM and are aware of your voting intentions. A proxy may participate in the CM on the day in person or electronically via the Lumi web portal. Further details can be found under "Electronic Participation at the Class Meeting" and "In person participation at the Class Meeting" in the Notice of CM. Appointing of a proxy does not preclude you to enter the attending and voting at the CM electronically should they wish to do so.

2. The voting options for a member in the event of a poll are 'For' or 'Against'. Alternatively you may wish to withhold your vote. However it should be noted that a vote withheld 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. If you do not indicate a choice, your proxy may exercise his or her discretion as to whether and, if so, how he or she votes on any resolution and on any amended resolution or other procedural issue that may arise at the CM.

3. In the case of joint holders, only the votes of the most senior holder will be accepted. The senior holder is the holder with the name that appears first on the register of members.

4. If you have a question you would like to have addressed at the CM, please email it to scphs.agm@sc.com. We encourage shareholders to submit questions in advance of the meeting and we remind shareholders that they will also be able to ask questions on the day of either details can be found under "Right to ask questions at the Class meeting" in the Notice of CM). We will endeavour to address any questions listed when we face to which it relates to under consideration by the CM. Any questions submitted that are not relevant to the business of the CM will be forwarded for the attention of an appropriate executive. Submitting a question in this way does not affect your rights as a shareholder to attend the meeting electronically and speak at the CM.
