The Company's Annual General Meeting will be held as a hybrid meeting, which will allow members to participate electronically or in person at One Bishops Square London, E1 6AD, United Kingdom, at 8:30 am on 24 June 2024.

It is expected that two Directors will be present at the AGM venue or, if that is not possible, a location to be determined by the Board; and shareholders will be able to participate electronically as explained in the Notes to the Notice convening the AGM and on the Company's website. Any changes to the AGM arrangements will be announced via RNS and also on the Company's website.

Proxy voting

You will not receive a hard copy form of proxy for the 2024 AGM in the post. Instead, you will be able to vote electronically via www.signalshares.com. You will need to log into your Signal Shares account or register if you have not previously done so.

Future Shareholder Communications

The majority of shareholders choose to receive Annual Reports and Notices of meetings electronically. This has a number of advantages for the Company and its shareholders. It increases the speed of communication, saves you time and reduces print and distribution costs and our impact on the environment.

Company law requires that the Company asks shareholders to consent to the receipt of communications electronically and via a website1. Please note that if you consent to website publication you will continue to be notified in writing and through the release of an announcement on the London Stock Exchange each time the Company places a statutory communication on the website. Annual Reports and other documents which are required to be sent to shareholders ('shareholder information') are published on our website at https://investors.networkinternational.ae/. If you consent, the website will be the way in which you access all future shareholder information.

Please note that you still have the right to request hard copies of shareholder information at no charge.

  • If you would like to receive notifications by email, you can register your email address via the Share Portal www.signalshares.com or write to FREEPOST SAS (no stamp or further address detail is required. Please write in BLOCK CAPITALS).
  • If you would like to receive shareholder information by means of a website, there is nothing more you need to do. You will be notified by post when shareholder information has been placed on the website.
  • If you would like to receive shareholder information in hard copy form, you can register your request via the Share Portal www.signalshares.com or write to FREEPOST SAS (no stamp or further address detail is required. Please write in BLOCK CAPITALS).

Please note that if you hold your shares corporately or in a CREST account, you are not able to use the Share Portal to inform us of your preferred method of communication and should instead write to FREEPOST SAS (no stamp or further address detail is required. Please write in BLOCK CAPITALS).

If we do not receive a reply from you within 28 days of the date of dispatch of this letter, you will be deemed to have consented to website publication of shareholder information and you will not receive hard copies of shareholder information in the post.

Thank you for your continued support as a shareholder of Network International Holdings Plc. Yours sincerely,

Jaishree Razzaq
