ATTENDANCE CARD, PROXY CARD AND POLL CARD BARRATT DEVELOPMENTS PLC (the "Company")

- ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

to be held on Wednesday 18 October 2023 at 12 noon.

Notes

  1. Every member has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice, who need not be a shareholder, as their proxy to exercise all or any of their rights, to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the AGM on a show of hands or on a poll. If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chair of the meeting, please insert the name of your chosen proxy in the space provided (see overleaf). If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If left blank your proxy will be deemed
    to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement (or if this Form of Proxy has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account).
  2. To appoint more than one proxy you may photocopy this form. Please indicate the proxy's name and the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy (which, in aggregate, should not exceed the number of total shares held by you). Please also indicate if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given by ticking the box provided (see overleaf). All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope. No proxy may be authorised to exercise votes which any other proxy has been authorised to exercise.
  3. This form must be signed and dated by the shareholder or his or her attorney duly authorised in writing. In the case of a corporation, this proxy must be given under its common seal or signed on its behalf by a duly authorised officer stating his or her capacity (e.g. Director, Secretary) or an attorney.
  4. In the case of joint holders, the signature of any one holder will be sufficient but the names of all the joint holders should be stated. The vote of the senior 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. For this purpose, seniority is determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).
  5. Voting at the AGM will be by way of a poll, using a poll card. To direct your proxy how to vote, mark the appropriate box with an 'X' on the Form of Proxy.
  6. The 'Vote Withheld' option is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. 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.
  7. In the absence of instructions, your proxy may vote or refrain from voting as they think fit on the resolution and, unless instructed otherwise, your proxy may also vote or refrain from voting as they think fit on any other business (including amendments to any resolution) which may properly come before the AGM.
  8. The completion and return of this form will not preclude a member from attending the AGM and voting in person. If you attend the AGM in person, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.
  1. Entitlement to attend and vote at the AGM and the number of votes which may be cast thereat will be determined by reference to the Register of Members of the Company at close of business on Monday 16 October 2023 or, in the event that the meeting is adjourned, in the Register of Members 48 hours before the time of the adjourned meeting (provided that for these purposes no account shall be taken of any part of a day that is not a working day). Changes to entries to the Register of Members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting or any adjourned meeting.
  2. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by using the CREST electronic appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com). To be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a 'CREST Proxy Instruction'), regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or amends a previous instruction, must be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent, Equiniti (ID RA19), by 12 noon on Monday 16 October 2023.
  3. To be effective, the Form of Proxy must be lodged, duly completed, delivered to Equiniti at Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex, BN99 6DA during usual business hours, accompanied by (if applicable) any power of attorney under which it is executed or other authority under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority no later than 12 noon on Monday 16 October 2023.
  4. Please return the Form of Proxy in the envelope provided. No stamp is required if posted in the UK. If you prefer, you may return the Form of Proxy to the Registrar in your own envelope addressed to FREEPOST RTHJ-CLLL-KBKU, Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing BN99 8LU, to be received no later than 12 noon on Monday 16 October 2023. Please note that delivery using this service can take up to five business days.
  5. A Form of Proxy sent electronically that is found to contain any virus will be disregarded.
  6. The right to appoint a proxy does not apply to any person who is a person nominated under section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 to enjoy information rights (a 'Nominated Person'). A Nominated Person may, under an agreement between them and the registered shareholder by whom they were 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, they may, under any such agreement, have a right to give instructions to the shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights.
