Notes

These notes are not a summary of the matters covered in the 2024 Notice of Annual General Meeting (the Notice) and should not be regarded as a substitute for reading the Notice. You should read the Notice in conjunction with this Proxy Form before taking any decisions in relation to the business to be considered at the AGM.

1. Appointing a proxy using this Proxy Form

To appoint a proxy using this Proxy Form, the completed form, together with a certified copy of the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is executed, must be delivered by post or by hand (during normal business hours only) so as to be received by Equiniti at Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex, BN99 6DA, by no later than 11.00 on Monday 23 September 2024. A pre-paid envelope is enclosed for the return of your completed Proxy Form.

Unless the shareholder is a joint shareholder (see note 5) or a corporate shareholder (see note 6), the Proxy Form must be signed and dated by the shareholder or their attorney duly authorised in writing.

2. Appointing a proxy online

As an alternative to completing this Proxy Form, you can appoint your proxy online by logging onto your portfolio at www.shareview.co.uk and following the instructions provided. Your online proxy appointment must be received by no later than 11.00 on Monday 23 September 2024.

For details on appointing a proxy using the CREST voting facility by CREST participants, please see the Explanatory Notes to the Notice.

A certified copy of any power of attorney or other authority under which any online or CREST proxy appointment is made must be received at the relevant address specified in the Notice for receipt of such proxy appointment (or at such other address as the Company may specify) by the latest time indicated for receipt

of such proxy appointment.

If you are an institutional investor, you may be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. For details on appointing a proxy using Proxymity, please see the notes to the Notice.

3. Choice of proxy

You may appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at the AGM instead of you, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by you. Your proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. However, you are strongly encouraged to appoint the Chair of the AGM as your proxy. This is to ensure that your vote is counted if you are, or any person you might otherwise appoint is, unable for any reason to attend on the day. The appointment of a proxy will not prevent you from attending, voting and speaking at the AGM either electronically or in person (should this be possible).

If your proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the space provided the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If this is left blank, your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement (or, if this Proxy Form

has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account).

If you wish to appoint a proxy, other than the Chair of the AGM, and such proxy wishes to attend the AGM electronically, your proxy will need to contact the Company’s Registrar (see note 7 below) by 11.00 on Monday 23 September 2024 to arrange for the necessary access details to be provided.

To appoint more than one proxy, please photocopy the Proxy Form and indicate the number of shares for which you are authorising them to act as your proxy. All proxy forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.

4. Voting instructions

Your proxy may vote as he or she chooses on any resolution for which you do not give a voting instruction and on any amended resolutions or other procedural issues that may arise at the meeting.

The ‘Vote Withheld’ option is given to enable you to withhold your vote on any particular resolution. A ‘Vote Withheld’ is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes ‘For’ or ‘Against’ a resolution.

5. Joint shareholders

In the case of joint holders, the signature of any one holder will suffice.

Where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company’s Register of Members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).

6. Corporate shareholders

A corporation should execute the Proxy Form under its common seal or signed on its behalf by a duly authorised officer or attorney or any other person authorised to sign.
