Taylor Wimpey plc PROXY FORM
Taylor Wimpey plc
Notes
Form of Proxy
Every member of the Company has a right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice to exercise all or any of their rights at the meeting.
- A proxy need not be a member of the Company. You can also appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by you. As shareholders and proxies (other than the Chairman of the meeting) will not be permitted to attend the AGM this year, to ensure their votes are counted shareholders are strongly encouraged to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy. To appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your sole proxy in respect of all your shares, simply fill in any voting instructions in the appropriate boxes and sign and date the Form of Proxy.
- Unless otherwise indicated the proxy will vote as they think fit or, at their discretion, abstain from voting on the specified resolutions and, unless instructed otherwise, on any other business (including amendments to resolutions) which may properly come before the meeting.
- To be valid, any proxy appointment must be received by Link Group at PXS 1, 10th Floor, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL, or, if you want to use an envelope the address to use is FREEPOST PXS, 10th Floor, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL or, electronically via the internet at www.signalshares.com or, if you are a member of CREST, via the service provided by Euroclear UK and Ireland Limited at the electronic address provided in note 7 overleaf, in each case no later than 10:00am on 20 April 2021. Please note that all proxy appointments received after this time will be void. A proxy appointment sent electronically at any time that is found to contain any virus will not be accepted.
- The Form of Proxy must be signed and dated by the member or their duly appointed attorney. A corporation must execute the Form of Proxy under either its common seal or the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney stating their capacity (e.g. director, secretary). In the case of joint holdings, any one holder may sign this form. The vote of the senior joint holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders and for this purpose seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Members in respect of the joint holding.

Notes continued
-
The Form of Proxy is for use in respect of the shareholder account specified overleaf only and should not be amended or submitted in respect of a different account.
-
The 'Vote Withheld' option is to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. Such a vote is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.
-
Shares held in uncertificated form (i.e. in CREST) may be voted through the CREST Proxy Voting Service in accordance with the procedures set out in the CREST manual (available at www.euroclear.com/CREST). 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 and Ireland Limited's specifications, and must contain the information required for such instruction, as described in the CREST Manual. 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 10:00 am on 20 April 2021. 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 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. 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.

Changes to the Register of Members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.
