Important information
This year's AGM will look and feel a bit different than in the past.

A number of our Board members will also participate online. We therefore encourage you to attend the meeting online as well. You can access the meeting by logging on to https://meetings.lumiconnect.com/100-503-418-614. Further details are set out on pages 13 to 15 of this Notice of AGM.
Any shareholders wishing to attend the AGM at the physical place of the meeting, at 5 Marble Arch, London, W1H 7EJ, should please notify the Company Secretary in advance by emailing [email protected] to facilitate access to the building.

Voting
Your votes are important to us, and I encourage you to submit your voting instructions as early as possible, either electronically or by post. You may wish to appoint the Chair of the meeting as your proxy as this will ensure that your vote is counted if you (or any other person you wish to appoint as proxy) are unable to participate in the meeting on the day.

Further details relating to proxy appointments are set out in notes 3 to 7 on pages 7 and 8 of this Notice of AGM.

such authorities to expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company or at the close of business on 30 September 2027, whichever is earlier but, in each case, so that the Company may, before such expiry, make offers and enter into agreements which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted and treasury shares to be sold after the authority granted by this resolution has expired and the Directors may allot equity securities and sell treasury shares under any such offer or agreement as if the power had not expired.

Tate & Lyle PLC Notice of Annual General Meeting 2026
Notice of Annual General Meeting 2026
Notes to the resolutions
Resolutions 1 to 18 will be proposed as ordinary resolutions which require a simple majority of the votes to be cast in favour.
Resolutions 19 to 22 will be proposed as special resolutions which require at least a 75% majority of the votes to be cast in favour.
Any references to the 'Act' mean the Companies Act 2006. Any references to the 'Code' mean the UK Corporate Governance Code 2024.
Resolution 1: Annual Report and Accounts
As a shareholder, you will have received the Annual Report and Accounts 2026 either as a hard copy or via our website www.tateandlyle.com/annual-reports. The Directors are required to present the Company's annual accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026, together with the strategic report, directors' report and the auditor's report to the meeting under the Act.
Resolution 2: Remuneration Report
Shareholders are invited to approve the Directors' Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 March 2026. This resolution is advisory and, as such, does not affect the actual remuneration paid to any individual director. The Directors' Remuneration Report is set out in the Annual Report and Accounts 2026 on pages 95 to 111 and excludes the Directors' Remuneration Policy on pages 99 to 100.
Resolution 3: Dividend
The Board recommends a final dividend for the year ended 31 March 2026 of 13.2 pence per ordinary share of 0.29 ¼ pence which, if approved, will be paid on 31 July 2026 to shareholders on the Register of Members at the close of business on 19 June 2026.
Resolutions 4 to 14: Election and re-election of Directors
In accordance with the Code, all Directors are required to retire annually and offer themselves for election or re-election as appropriate.
The Board has concluded that each of the non-executive directors, save for Ms Harding and Ms Vaz de Lestapis (both of whom were appointed by J.M. Huber Corporation), is independent under the terms of the Code. The Board considers that their skills, experience, independence and knowledge of the Company enable them to discharge their respective duties and responsibilities effectively. The Board confirms that following a formal performance review as referred to on page 85 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2026, that each Director continues to be effective and demonstrates commitment to their role.
The biographies of each Director standing for election or re-election can be found on pages 10 to 12 of this Notice of AGM.
Resolutions 15 and 16: Auditor and auditor's remuneration
The auditor of the Company must be appointed or re-appointed at every annual general meeting at which accounts are presented. On the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board proposes the re-appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's auditor until the conclusion of the next general meeting at which accounts are laid before the Company.
The remuneration of the auditor must also be fixed by the Company in a general meeting or in such manner as the Company may determine in a general meeting. Resolution 16 seeks authorisation for the Audit Committee to determine the auditor's remuneration.
Resolution 17: Political donations
The Company has a policy not to make donations to, or incur expenditure on behalf of, political candidates, parties or organisations and has no intention of changing that policy.
However, the Act contains restrictions on companies making political donations or incurring political expenditure and it defines these terms very widely, such that activities that form part of the normal relationship between the Company and bodies concerned with policy review, law reform and other business matters affecting the Company, may be included. Therefore, to avoid the possibility of inadvertently contravening the Act, the Company is seeking authority under Resolution 17 to allow the Company or any of its subsidiaries to fund donations or incur political expenditure for the period from the date of the AGM to the conclusion of next year's AGM up to an aggregate £100,000 per annum.
Resolution 18: Authority to allot shares
Resolution 18 seeks renewal of the Directors' authority to allot shares. At our 2025 AGM, the Directors were given authority to allot shares in amounts up to two thirds of the Company's then issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares). This authority expires at the end of this AGM.
The authority in paragraph (a) will allow the Directors to allot new shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert other securities into, shares up to a nominal value of £43,307,639, which is equivalent to approximately 33% of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company, exclusive of treasury shares, as at 27 May 2026.
The authority in paragraph (b) will allow the Directors to allot new shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert other securities into, shares only in connection with a pre-emptive offer up to a further nominal value of £43,307,639, which is equivalent to approximately 33% of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company, exclusive of treasury shares, as at 27 May 2026.
This is in line with the Investment Association's (IA) Share Capital Management Guidelines issued in February 2023 which state that IA members will regard as routine resolutions seeking an authority to allot shares representing up to two thirds of a company's issued share capital provided that any amount in excess of one-third of a company's issued share capital is applied to pre-emptive offers only.
In light of these guidelines and as in previous years, the Directors consider it appropriate to seek renewal of this authority. There are no present plans to exercise this authority other than in connection with the Company's employee share schemes, but the Directors consider it prudent to have the maximum flexibility permitted by corporate governance guidelines to respond to market developments and to enable allotments to take place to finance business opportunities as they arise.
If this resolution is passed, the authority will expire on the earlier of the Company's next AGM or at the close of business on 30 September 2027.
Resolutions 19 and 20: Disapplication of pre-emption rights
If the Directors wish to exercise the authority granted under Resolution 18 to allot new shares and other equity securities, or to sell treasury shares, for cash (other than in connection with an employee share scheme), they must, in the first instance, offer them to existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings. Resolutions 19 and 20 are special resolutions which give the Directors the flexibility to disapply these pre-emption rights in certain circumstances and in line with the guidance of the UK's Pre-Emption Group, which is generally supported by UK asset managers and owners.
Tate & Lyle PLC Notice of Annual General Meeting 2026
Notice of Annual General Meeting 2026
The authority set out in Resolution 19 would be limited as follows:
(a) to pre-emptive offers but subject to such exclusions or arrangements as the Directors consider necessary to deal with certain legal, regulatory or practical difficulties;
(b) to non-pre-emptive allotments or sales of shares without restriction as to the use of the proceeds, up to an aggregate nominal value of £12,992,291, representing 44,545,000 ordinary shares and approximately 10% of the total issued share capital of the Company excluding treasury shares as at 27 May 2026. This limit is in line with the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles 2022; and
(c) to further allotments or sales of shares up to an additional aggregate nominal amount equal to 20% of any allotments or sales made under (b) above (so a maximum aggregate nominal amount of £2,598,458 representing 8,909,000 ordinary shares and approximately 2% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) as at 27 May 2026). Such power would be used only to make a follow-on offer of a kind contemplated by Section 2B of the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles 2022. The Board intends to adhere to the provisions in the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles for any follow-on offers made, as far as practicable.
Resolution 20 would give the Company the flexibility to make non-pre-emptive issues of ordinary shares as permitted by the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles 2022, i.e. in connection with acquisitions and specified capital investments which are announced contemporaneously with the allotment, or which have taken place in the preceding twelve months and are disclosed in the announcement of the issue.
The authority under Resolution 20 is in addition to that proposed by Resolution 19 and would be limited as follows:
(a) to allotments or sales of shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of £12,992,291 (representing 44,545,000 ordinary shares and an additional 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) as at 27 May 2026; and
(b) to further allotments or sales up to an additional aggregate nominal amount equal to 20% of any allotments or sales made under (a) above (so a maximum aggregate nominal amount of £2,598,458 representing 8,909,000 ordinary shares and approximately 2% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) as at 27 May 2026), such power to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer of a kind contemplated by Section 2B of the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles 2022.
The Directors have no present intention of exercising the authorities contained in Resolutions 19 or 20, however, they wish to ensure that the Company has maximum flexibility in managing the Group's capital resources. If the powers sought by Resolutions 19 and 20 are used in relation to a non-pre-emptive offer, the Directors confirm their intention to follow the shareholder protections in Section 2B of the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles 2022 and, where relevant, follow the expected features of a follow-on offer as set out in paragraph 3 of part 2B of the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles 2022.
The authorities under Resolutions 19 and 20 will expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company, or 30 September 2027, whichever is earlier.
Resolution 21: Authority to purchase own shares
Resolution 21 seeks authority for the Company to make market purchases of up to a maximum of 44,545,000 ordinary shares (10% of its issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares), as at 27 May 2026, until the AGM in 2027 or 30 September 2027, whichever is earlier, continuing a similar authority granted by shareholders at last year's AGM. Resolution 21 also states the maximum number of shares that may be purchased and the minimum or maximum prices at which they may be bought.
The Directors have no present intention of exercising this authority, but consider it prudent to have the flexibility to do so. The Directors will only exercise the authority where they consider it to be in the best interests of shareholders generally and where it is expected to result in an improvement in earnings per share or otherwise enhance shareholder value.
Pursuant to the Act, the Company may either cancel repurchased shares or hold them as treasury shares depending on which course of action is considered by the Directors to be in the best interests of the shareholders at that time. Shares held in treasury can either be resold for cash, cancelled (either immediately or at a point in the future) or used for the purposes of the Company's share incentive plans. No dividends will be paid on, and no voting rights will be exercised in respect of, treasury shares.
The total number of shares which may be subscribed for on the exercise of outstanding options as at 27 May 2026 (the last practicable date prior to the posting of this document) is 305,113, which represents approximately 0.068% of the issued ordinary share capital (excluding shares currently held in treasury) at that date. If the authority for the Company to purchase shares under Resolution 21 is used in full, the outstanding options over ordinary shares would represent 0.076% of the issued share capital as at 27 May 2026 (excluding any shares then held in treasury). The Company holds 31,294,579 treasury shares at the date of this document.
Resolution 22: Notice of general meetings
The minimum notice period required by the Act for general meetings (other than annual general meetings) is 21 days unless the Company:
(a) has gained shareholder approval for the holding of general meetings on 14 clear days' notice by passing a special resolution at the most recent AGM or at a subsequent general meeting; and
(b) offers the facility for all shareholders to vote by electronic means.
Resolution 22 seeks such approval and replaces a similar authority granted at the 2025 AGM.
The shorter notice period would not be used as a matter of routine but only where the Company considers the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be in the best interests of shareholders as a whole. Should this resolution be approved, it will be valid until the conclusion of the next AGM.

Important notes
The following notes explain your general rights as a member and information about this Notice of AGM.
If there are any changes to the arrangements for the AGM as set out in this Notice of AGM, we will notify shareholders as soon as possible via our website www.tateandlyle.com/investors/agm and, where appropriate, by Regulatory Information Service announcement.
1. Attendance and voting
As the meeting will be optimised for an online experience, some members of the Board will not be present at the physical place of the meeting and will take part in the AGM electronically. Consequently, not all Directors will be available to meet shareholders after the AGM. Shareholders are therefore encouraged to join the AGM electronically and participate via the online platform (Lumi).
For those shareholders who still wish to attend at the physical place of the meeting, a room will be available at 5 Marble Arch, London W1H 7EJ. Shareholders attending at the physical place of the meeting should please notify the Company Secretary in advance via [email protected] to facilitate access to the building.
To be entitled to attend and vote at the physical place of the meeting, online or by proxy at the AGM, shareholders must be entered on the Company's Register of Members at 6.30pm on Monday 20 July 2026 (or, in the case of an adjournment, at 6.30pm on the date which is two business days before the date fixed for 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, speak and vote at the AGM.
Voting on each of the Resolutions to be put to the AGM will be by poll, so that all shares voted are included. The results of the voting at the meeting, the number of proxy votes cast for and against and the number of votes withheld, in respect of each of the Resolutions proposed at the meeting will be announced to the London Stock Exchange as soon as practicable following the meeting and will be published on the Company's website at www.tateandlyle.com.
2. Questions at the meeting
Any shareholder attending the AGM has the right to ask questions. Questions for the Board can be submitted in advance to [email protected] or at the AGM through the Lumi platform. To enable the Board to address as many questions as possible, we request that where possible, questions are submitted in advance of the AGM. The Chair will ensure that any question relating to the business being dealt with at the AGM receives a response, but in accordance with Section 319A of the Act, no response need be given if:
(a) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the AGM or involve the disclosure of confidential information;
(b) the answer has already been given on the Company's website in the form of an answer to a question; or
(c) the Chair determines that it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the AGM that the question be answered.
The Chair may determine the order in which questions raised by shareholders are taken, having due regard for shareholders present at the AGM.
3. Appointment of proxies
Any shareholder of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the meeting convened by this Notice of AGM is entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of their rights to attend and to speak and vote on his or her behalf at the meeting. A shareholder may
appoint more than one proxy, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to different shares held by that shareholder. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. Shareholders may wish to appoint the Chair of the meeting as their proxy, as this will ensure that your vote is counted if you (or any proxy appointed) are unable to attend on the day. If you complete and return the proxy form this will not prevent you from attending and voting at the meeting should you subsequently decide to do so.
In order to be valid, an appointment of proxy must be made by returning a proxy form or by one of the electronic methods described in note 4 or 5 below.
To be effective, a proxy form must be lodged at the offices of the Company's registrar, Equiniti, in accordance with the instructions provided on the proxy form and received no later than 10.30am on Monday 20 July 2026.

5. Electronic proxy voting through CREST
CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by following the procedures described in the CREST Manual on the Euroclear website (www.euroclear.com). 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.
In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear specifications and must contain the information required for such appointment or instruction, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or 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 Equiniti (ID RA19) by no later than 10.30am on Monday 20 July 2026. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which Equiniti 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. 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.
CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers, should note that EUI 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 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 service providers, are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
6. Appointment of proxy through Proxymity
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 10.30am on Monday 20 July 2026 in order to be considered valid. 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.
7. Changing proxy instructions
To change your proxy instructions you may return a new proxy appointment using the methods set out above. Where you have appointed a proxy using your proxy form and would like to change the instructions using another proxy form, please contact Equiniti by post (Equiniti, Highdown House, Yeoman Way, Worthing, West Sussex BN99 6DA) or by telephone (+44 (0)371 384 2063; lines are open from 8.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday excluding public holidays in England and Wales. If calling from outside of the UK, please ensure the country code is used). The deadline for receipt of proxy appointments, which is not later than 10.30am on Monday 20 July 2026, also applies in relation to amended instructions. Where two or more valid separate appointments of proxy are received in respect of the same share in respect of the same meeting, those received last by Equiniti will take precedence.
