Dear Shareholder

2024 Annual General Meeting (AGM)

This document comprises the Notice of the 2024 AGM ("Notice") of Oxford Biomedica plc. A copy of the Notice and the Company's Annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 can be viewed on our website (www.oxb.com).

The AGM is an important event in the Company's corporate calendar and provides an opportunity for the Company's Directors to engage with shareholders. The 2024 AGM will be held as a physical meeting at the Company's office this year.

If you wish to attend the meeting in person, please register your intention to do so as soon as practicable by email to ir@oxb.com, but in any event no later than 3 p.m. BST on 20 June 2024.

Your vote is important and the Company therefore requests that all of its shareholders (i) appoint the Chair of the meeting as their proxy and (ii) submit their votes via proxy in advance of the meeting, to ensure that their votes are counted. If a shareholder appoints a person other than the Chair of the meeting as their proxy and for some reason that shareholder or the proxy are not able to attend the 2024 AGM in person, that shareholder's votes will not be counted (further details on proxy voting can be found in note 4 in the Notes for Shareholders). Accordingly, those submitting a proxy appointment are strongly encouraged to appoint the Chair of the meeting rather than a named person as their proxy. This will ensure that your vote will be counted.

The Company understands that the AGM also serves as a forum to engage with shareholders and shareholders' views are always very important to us. Therefore, to support engagement, following the conclusion of the 2024 AGM, Dr. Frank Mathias, Chief Executive Officer and Stuart Paynter, Chief Financial Officer will present on the Company's progress in 2023. After the presentation, Dr. Mathias, Mr. Paynter, the other Directors and I will answer questions from shareholders. After responding to the pre-submitted questions, shareholders will be able to ask further questions in person. Shareholders are encouraged to submit questions in advance by emailing ir@oxb.combefore 2.30 p.m. BST on 24 June 2024. We may choose to summarise and bundle questions thematically.

The Resolutions put to you for voting will be generally familiar to you and are further explained in the explanation of business to be conducted at the 2024 AGM on pages 5 to 6. In total, there are twenty-two Resolutions to be proposed at the 2024 AGM and the voting results will be notified to the London Stock Exchange as soon as possible following the conclusion of the meeting and posted on the Company's website. All Resolutions will be put to a poll. This will ensure an exact and definitive result.

Resolutions 16, 17 and 18 relate to the renewal of our employee share plans. Our current employee share plans were adopted in 2015 and expire, for the purposes of new grants, in 2025. To coincide with the renewal of the Directors' Remuneration Policy, we are seeking shareholder approval for a new Long Term Incentive Plan, a new Deferred Bonus Plan and a new Sharesave Plan. The new plans for which shareholder approval is sought are aligned with the new Directors' Remuneration Policy, for which approval is sought in Resolution 3. Summaries of the principal terms of the new plans are set out in Appendix 2.

Our current plans include a "10% in 10 years" dilution limit on the use of new issue shares and treasury shares. Aligning the interests of our Executive Directors and our wider workforce with the interests of shareholders by rewarding them in equity is of fundamental importance to the Company and reflected in the broad-based operation of our plans. This, together with the importance of the US talent market where equity participation is an expectation means that the "10% in 10 years" limit is unduly restrictive. Therefore, the new plans include a "15% in 10 years" limit to ensure that we have sufficient flexibility over the life of the new plans to enable us to incentivise and retain the employees who are key to delivery of long term sustainable performance, including those below the Executive Director level, whilst at the same time giving us the flexibility to settle awards in the most appropriate way taking into account all relevant considerations, including cash cost and dilution.

As part of our consultation with shareholders in relation to the new Director's Remuneration Policy, we provided the following additional context for the inclusion of a 15% in 10-year limit.

  • A large portion of the headroom relates to awards granted to participants below the Corporate Executive Team level. Based on shares granted in 2020, 2021 and 2023 circa. 17.5% of the utilised headroom relates to awards granted to Executive Directors and circa. 20% relates to awards granted to the Corporate Executive Team (excluding Executive Directors). Approximately 62.5% of the utilised headroom relates to awards granted to employees below the Corporate Executive Team level. 2022 has been excluded from this comparison as a smaller proportion of the utilised headroom related to Executive Directors in 2022, given John Dawson's retirement as CEO and because our CFO Mr. Paynter was the only Executive Director granted a share award in 2022.

  • We have circa. 3% of our existing 10% in ten years headroom limit available (which equates to around 3 million shares). Prior to the acquisition of Oxford Biomedica (US) LLC in 2022, awards were granted over fewer than circa. 1 million shares on average per year. Since the acquisition, the average has been circa. 3 million shares per year. This reflects typical compensation structures in the US and the volatility in our share price.
  • We have sought to manage dilution in recent years by scaling back awards to reflect share price falls. In 2023, the LTIP awards to the newly appointed Corporate Executive Team members were scaled back by 20% while awards to all other Senior Executive Team members were scaled back by 30%. In addition, the Remuneration Committee approved a scale back of 10% to all other 2023 Oxford Biomedica employee share awards. As disclosed in the 2022 Annual report and accounts, Mr. Paynter's LTIP award for 2022 was scaled back to 155% of salary from the usual 175% of salary, taking into account best practice and investor guidance.
  • Our ability to grant LTIP awards to key executives and the wider workforce is critical to our ability to attract and retain high calibre individuals in an increasingly competitive market and to remunerate executives fairly and responsibly. We appreciate that this limit is higher than the current UK guidelines, however, it is below the accepted level of dilution for companies listed in the US, where the proxy guidance provides for equity plan dilution limits in excess of 15% for companies in our sector. A significant proportion of cell and gene therapy is based in the US and the US market continues to have significant commercial potential for the Group. We operate in a global talent market and need to pay competitively against CDMO businesses in Europe, Asia and the US.

Taking into account the feedback provided from shareholders, we have provided assurance that:

  • all employee share awards granted during 2024 will fall within the current 10% in 10-year limit;
  • we will continue to manage dilution by scaling back awards where appropriate, taking into account the share price when awards are granted, alongside careful consideration of eligibility for the equity plans; and
  • our intention is that a 15% in 10-year limit would not be permanent. During the ten-year life of the new shares plans our intention would be to revert to operating within a 10% in 10-year limit, where feasible.

Our major shareholders who provided feedback confirmed they are supportive of the proposed 15% dilution limit on this basis.

Your Directors consider each Resolution to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommend you vote in favour of each of them, as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings.

I would like to thank all shareholders for their ongoing support during 2023.

Yours sincerely

Dr. Roch Doliveux

Oxford Biomedica plc

Explanation of business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting

The notes on the following pages give an explanation of the proposed Resolutions.

Resolutions 1 to 19 (inclusive) are proposed as Ordinary Resolutions. This means that for each of those Resolutions to be passed, more than half of the votes cast (more than 50%) must be in favour of the Resolution. Resolutions 20 to 22 (inclusive) are proposed as Special Resolutions. This means that for each of those Resolutions to be passed, at least three- quarters of the votes cast (at least 75%) must be in favour of the Resolution.

The Directors consider that all the Resolutions to be put to the meeting arein the best interests of theCompany and its shareholders as a whole. The Board unanimously recommends that you vote in favour of all the Resolutions, as they propose to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings of ordinary shares in the issued share capital of the Company.

Ordinary Resolutions

Resolution 1 - Report and Accounts

The Company is required to present to the shareholders at the 2024 AGM the audited financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2023. This provides an opportunity to discuss the performance of the Company during the period, its management and its prospects for the future.

A copy of the Annual report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 is enclosed with this Notice of Meeting, or has been made available to you electronically on the Company's website at www.oxb.com.

Resolution 2 - Directors' Remuneration Report

Resolution 2 relates to the Company's Directors' Remuneration Report. The Directors' Remuneration Report sets out remuneration arrangements for, and payments made to, Directors in respect of 2023. The remuneration report appears at pages 89 to 104 of the Annual report.

This Resolution is an advisory vote and the Directors' entitlements to remuneration are not conditional upon it.

Resolution 3 - Directors' Remuneration Policy

To consider and if thought fit, approve the Directors' Remuneration Policy ("Policy"), the full text of which is included in the Directors' Remuneration Report and set out on pages 105 to 114 of the Annual report. A copy of the Directors' Remuneration Policy which was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in 2021 is available on the Company's website at www.oxb.com.

As detailed in the Directors' Remuneration Report, the new Policy is proposed in the context of: (i) feedback from the Company's shareholders and the intention to align the Company's practices more closely with shareholder expectations, whilst recognising that it is critical that the Company is able to attract and retain the best Executive and Non-Executive Director talent; (ii) the Company's strategy and the transformation to position the Company as a pure- play CDMO; (iii) a significant proportion of the cell and gene therapy market being based in the US and the US market continuing to have a significant commercial potential for the Company; and (iv) operating in a global talent market and the need to pay competitively against CDMO businesses in Europe, Asia and the US.

The new Policy simplifies the current policy by moving to a single remuneration framework, rather than different frameworks for an Executive Director who is an "Overseas Executive Director" and for an Executive Director who is not. Recognising the differences across the UK, the US and wider global markets and the need to align pay competitively within the talent markets in which the Company operates, under the new Policy:

  • Annual bonus opportunity: 75% of salary will be delivered for achieving target performance and 2x target will be delivered for maximum performance (i.e. a 150% of salary maximum). The new Policy will include flexibility to increase the annual bonus opportunity in exceptional circumstances to 100% of salary at target and 200% of salary at maximum.
  • LTIP opportunity: Ordinarily 200% of salary maximum for the CEO and 175% for the CFO. The new Policy will include flexibility

to increase the LTIP opportunity to 400% of salary in exceptional circumstances.

Taking into account feedback from shareholders, this exceptional circumstance maximum is a reduction from the 500% of salary in the current policy for an "Overseas Executive Director".

To ensure the new Policy supports the attraction (and retention) of high-quality talent, whilst ensuring that Executive Directors' interests are aligned with those of shareholders, if the in-service shareholding guideline is met (equal to the Executive Director's normal annual LTIP opportunity), the annual bonus deferral requirement is reduced from 50% to 25% of any bonus earned. This reflects the fact that the Company's US, European and Asian competitors often pay bonuses 100% in cash, meaning that bonus deferral makes our overall remuneration package less competitive.

Resolutions 4 to 13 - appointment and reappointment of Directors

The Articles require that any Director who was appointed after the last AGM or has served for three years, and one third of the other Directors, retire from office by rotation at each AGM. However, to ensure that the Company complies with the UK Corporate Governance Code, produced by the Financial Reporting Council in July 2018 and the revised UK Corporate Governance Code, produced by the Financial Reporting Council in January 2024, all Directors will be subject to annual re-election.

At this year's AGM, Mr. Peter Soelkner who was appointed as a new Director to the Board in March 2024 will stand for appointment by the shareholders for the first time. Catherine Moukheibir and Dr. Michael Hayden are retiring from the Board and therefore not standing for re-election at the 2024 AGM.

The performance of all Directors proposed for reappointment has been evaluated by the Chair and the Board and it has been determined that they each perform effectively and show full commitment to their roles on the Board. The Board therefore recommends that you support the reappointment of each of the retiring Directors who are standing for reappointment.

Biographical details of each of the Directors can be found in Appendix 1 to this Notice.

Resolutions14 and15- Appointmentandremunerationof auditor

As required under the Companies Act 2006, Resolution 14 seeks shareholder approval for the re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's auditor.

Resolution 15 proposes that the Audit Committee be authorised for and on behalf of the Board to determine the auditor's remuneration.

Resolutions 16 to 18: The Oxford Biomedica 2024 Long Term Incentive Plan, the Oxford Biomedica 2024 Deferred Bonus Plan and the Oxford Biomedica 2024 Sharesave Scheme

These Resolutions seek shareholder approval for the Oxford Biomedica 2024 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2024 LTIP"), the Oxford Biomedica 2024 Deferred Bonus Plan (the "2024 DBP"), and the Oxford Biomedica 2024 Sharesave Scheme ("2024 Sharesave"), together the "Plans". The Company's existing employee share plans were adopted in 2015 and expire for the purposes of new grants in May 2025. To coincide with the approval of the Directors' Remuneration Policy, approval for the new Plans is being sought.

A summary of the principal terms of the Plans is set out in Appendix 2 to this document. A copy of the rules of the Plans will be available for inspection at the AGM for at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the meeting and up until the close of the meeting and on the National Storage Mechanism (https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism) from the date of this Notice of AGM.

Resolution 19 - authority to allot shares

Resolution 19 seeks shareholder approval to renew the Directors' authority to allot shares.

Under section 551 of the Act, the Directors cannot allot shares in the Company unless they are authorised to do so by the Company in a general meeting. Resolution 19 is proposed as an Ordinary Resolution to seek a new authority, which will replace any existing authorities granted prior to the 2024 AGM. It is proposed that the Directors be authorised to allot new shares or to grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares in the Company, subject to the normal pre-emption rights reserved to shareholders contained in the Act, up to an aggregate maximum nominal amount of £16,667,666 representing approximately one-third of the issued share capital of the Company as at 10 May 2024, being the last practicable date before the publication of this Notice.

In line with The Investment Association ("IA") guidelines, the authority will also

Oxford Biomedica plc | Notice of Annual General Meeting

5

permit the Directors to allot an additional one third of the Company's issued share capital provided such shares are reserved for a fully preemptive rights issue. Resolution 19 reflects the IA's recommendations.

If the Directors wish to use the authority conferred in Resolution 19 to allot shares for cash, section 561(1) of the Act requires that the new shares must be offered first to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings. The shareholders' entitlement to be offered the new shares is known as a "pre-emption right". However, for legal, regulatory and practical reasons, it might not be possible for new shares allotted by means of a rights issue to be issued to certain shareholders, particularly those resident overseas. Further, it might, in some circumstances, be in the Company's interests for the Directors to be able to allot some shares for cash without having to offer them first to existing shareholders. To enable this to be done, shareholders must first waive these pre-emption rights.

Special Resolutions

Resolutions 20 and 21 - disapplication of pre-emption rights

Resolutions 20 and 21 are proposed as Special Resolutions to seek new authorities, which will replace existing authorities granted prior to the 2024 AGM. If granted, the authorities set out in Resolutions 20 and 21 will enable the Directors to allot new shares without first offering them to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings and without further reference to shareholders.

In November 2022, the Pre-Emption Group revised their Statement of Principles ("Revised Statement of Principles") to allow companies to seek authority for an issue of shares for cash otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer to include: (i) an authority up to 10% of the Company's issued share capital for use on an unrestricted basis (plus an additional authority of up to 2% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) which may be sought solely for the purpose of making a follow-on offer of the kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of Section 2B of the Revised Statement of Principles); and (ii) an additional authority up to a further 10% of the Company's issued share capital for use in connection with an acquisition of specified capital investment announced contemporaneously with the issue, or that has taken place in the 12- month period preceding the announcement of the issue (plus an additional authority of up to 2% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) which may be sought solely for the purpose of making a follow-on offer of the kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of Section 2B of the Revised Statement of Principles).

In line with the Board's recommendation last year, the Board, continue to believe it to be in the best interest of the Company's shareholders to seek approval in accordance with the Revised Statement of Principles. Accordingly, Resolutions 20 and 21 continue to apply the increased limits of 10% of the Company's issued share capital (plus a further 2% of the Company's issued share capital to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer) set out in the Revised Statement of Principles, and the Directors confirm their intention to adhere to the provisions in the Revised Statement of Principles (including the conditions specified in Part 2B of the Revised Statement of Principles).

Resolution 20 seeks the disapplication of pre-emption rights as follows:

  • sub-paragraph(a) of Resolution 20 seeks authority for the Directors to allot new shares for cash by way of a pre-emptive offer or rights issue and to make any arrangements which may be necessary to deal with any legal, regulatory and practical problems arising from a rights issue or other pre-emptive offer, for example, by excluding affected shareholders from the rights issue or other pre-emptive offer;
  • sub-paragraph(b) of Resolution 20 seeks authority to issue new shares (otherwise than under paragraph (a) of Resolution 20) up to a maximum aggregate nominal value of £5,000,300, equivalent to 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 10 May 2024, being the last practicable date before the publication of this Notice;

and

  • sub-paragraph(c) of Resolution 20 seeks authority to limit the allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares (otherwise than under paragraphs (a) or (b) of Resolution 20) up to a maximum aggregate nominal value of £1,000,060 equal to 20% of any allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares from time to time under paragraph (b) of Resolution 20 (being 2% of the Company's issued share capital), to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on

offer which the Board of the Company determines to be of a kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of Section 2B of the Revised Statement of Principles.

Resolution 21 seeks the further disapplication of pre-emption rights as follows:

  • sub-paragraph(a) of Resolution 21 seeks authority to issue new shares up to a further maximum aggregate nominal value of £5,000,300, equivalent to 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 10 May 2024, being the last practicable date before the publication of this Notice, in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Revised Statement of Principles; and
  • sub-paragraph(b) of Resolution 21 seeks authority to limit the allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares up to a maximum aggregate nominal value of £1,000,060 equal to 20% of any allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares from time to time, under paragraph (a) of Resolution 21 (being 2% of the Company's issued share capital), to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer of the kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of Section 2B of the Revised Statement of Principles), to be used only in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment.

It is the Company's intention that such authority under Resolution 21 would only be used in connection with an acquisition or a specified capital investment which the Company would announce at the same time as it announces the issue of shares in reliance on such authority, or which has taken place in the preceding 12 month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the issue of the shares.

For the avoidance of doubt, the interests of existing shareholders are protected in that their proportionate interests in the Company cannot be reduced by more than 10% through the issue of new shares for cash and cannot be reduced by more than a further 10% through the issue of new shares for cash in connection with an acquisition or a specified capital investment, plus a further 4% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) pursuant to follow- on offers of the kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of Section 2B of the Revised Statement of Principles.

The Directors confirm that the authority granted by Resolution 21 will only be used in accordance with the Revised Statement of Principles.

The proposed authorities, if granted, will expire at the conclusion of the 2025 AGM or, if earlier, fifteen months from the date of the passing of the Resolutions. It is the Directors' intention to renew these authorities annually.

Resolution 22 - notice of general meetings

Resolution 22 is proposed to approve the holding of general meetings, other than AGMs, on 14 clear days' notice in accordance with the Companies (Shareholder Rights) Regulations 2009 (the "Regulations"). The authority will be effective until the 2025 AGM, when it is intended that the approval be renewed again. The Company will also need to meet the requirements for electronic voting under the Regulations before it can call a general meeting on 14 clear days' notice. If passed, this Resolution will enable the Company to retain maximum flexibility to seek shareholder approval for any future change or transaction more quickly, where it is thought by the Directors to be an advantage to the shareholders as a whole to do so.

Form of Proxy

You will no longer automatically receive a Form of Proxy which will help reduce the Company's print and distribution costs along with the impact on the environment, however you are encouraged to submit your vote electronically via Signal Shares (www.signalshares.com) or via the LinkVote+ app or if you are an institutional investor, via Proxymity (https://www.proxymity.io) or via CREST (if your shares are held electronically), as soon as possible, but in any event no later than 3.00 p.m. BST on 20 June 2024.. Forms of Proxy are available upon request from the Company's Registrar, Link Group, PXS 1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL (further details on how to submit your vote can be found in note 4 of the Notes for shareholders). The return of a Form of Proxy or the electronic appointment of a proxy does not preclude you from attending and voting at the 2024 AGM if you so wish.

The Directors consider that the Resolutions to be proposed at the 2024 AGM are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and they recommend shareholders to vote in favour of the Resolutions.

Notes for Shareholders

A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the meeting is also entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend, speak and vote on a show of hands and on a poll instead of him or her. Shareholders submitting a Form of Proxy are strongly encouraged to appoint the Chair of the meeting rather than a named person as their proxy. This will ensure that your vote will be counted.

  1. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. Where a Shareholder appoints more than one proxy, each proxy must be appointed in respect of different shares comprised in his or her shareholding which must be identified on the proxy form. Each such proxy will have the right to vote on a poll in respect of the number of votes attaching to the number of shares in respect of which the proxy has been appointed. Where more than one joint Shareholder purports to appoint a proxy in respect of the same shares, only the appointment by the most senior Shareholder will be accepted as determined by the order in which their names appear in the Company's register of members. If you wish your proxy to speak at the meeting, you should appoint a proxy other than the Chair of the meeting and give your instructions to that proxy. If you are not a Shareholder but you have been nominated by a Shareholder to enjoy information rights, you do not have the right to appoint a proxy or proxies pursuant to note 1. Please read note 10 below.
  2. A corporation which is a shareholder may appoint one or more corporate representatives who have one vote each on a show of hands and otherwise may exercise on behalf of other Shareholders all of its powers as a Shareholder provided that they do not do so in different ways in respect of the same shares.
  3. You can vote either:
  • by logging on to www.signalshares.comand following the instructions:

To register your vote electronically via Signal Shares (www.signalshares.com), select "Register an Account" then enter your surname, Investor Code, Postcode and an email address. Create a password and click "Register" to proceed. You will be able to vote immediately by selecting "Proxy Voting" from the menu. You can find your Investor Code ("IVC") on your share certificate, or Signal Shares users (www.signalshares.com) will find this under 'Manage your account' when logged in to the Signal Shares portal. You can also obtain this by contacting Link Group, the Company's registrar, by calling +44 (0) 371 664 0391. Lines are open from 9.00 a.m.to 5.30 p.m. Monday to Friday. Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. Calls outside the UK will be charged at the applicable international rate.

  • Link Group, the Company's registrar, has launched a shareholder app: LinkVote+. It's free to download and use and offers shareholders the option to submit a proxy appointment quickly and easily online, as well as real-time access to their shareholding records. The app is available to download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, or by scanning the relevant QR code below.
  • if you are an institutional investor you may also 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 3.00 p.m. BSTon 20 June 2024 in order to be considered valid or, if the meeting is adjourned, by the time which is 48 hours before the time of the adjourned meeting. 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. An electronic proxy appointment via the Proxymity platform may be revoked completely by sending an authenticated message via the platform instructing the removal of your proxy vote.

  • in the case of CREST members, by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service in accordance with the procedures set out below.

4. If you need help with voting online, or require a paper Form of Proxy, please contact the Company's Registrar, Link Group, by email at shareholderenquiries@linkgroup.co.uk, or by phone on 0371 664 0391 if calling from the United Kingdom, or +44 (0) 371 664 0391 if calling from outside of the United Kingdom. Calls will be charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. Calls outside the United Kingdom will be charged at the applicable international rate. The lines are open between 9.00 a.m.-5.30 p.m., Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays in England and Wales.

In order for a proxy appointment to be valid, a proxy instruction must be completed. In each case the proxy instruction must be received by Link Group, PXS 1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL by 3 p.m. BST on 20 June 2024. Shareholders who intend to appoint more than one proxy can obtain additional Forms of Proxy from Link Group.

  1. An abstention (or "vote withheld") option has been included on the Form of Proxy and in the available options for electronic proxy voting. The legal effect of choosing the abstention option on any Resolution is that the Shareholder concerned will be treated as not having voted on the relevant Resolution. The number of votes in respect of which there are abstentions will however be counted and recorded but disregarded in calculating the number of votes for or against each Resolution.
  2. In accordance with Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 and section 360B(2) of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act"), the Company specifies that only those Shareholders registered in the register of members of the Company as at close of business on 20 June 2024 or, in the event that the meeting is adjourned, in such register not later than 48 hours before the time of the adjourned meeting (excluding any part of a day that is not a working day), shall be entitled to attend, or vote (whether in person or by proxy) at the meeting in respect of the number of shares registered in their names at the relevant time. Changes after the relevant time will be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting or any adjourned meeting (as the case may be).
  3. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by utilising the procedures described in the CREST Manual. 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 by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International Limited ("EUI") specification and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message must be transmitted so as to be received by the Registrar (ID RA10) by 3:00 p.m. BST on 20 June 2024. 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 the Registrar is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. 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 members 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 his 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. 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.

  1. Unless otherwise indicated on the Form of Proxy, CREST voting, Proxymity or any other electronic voting channel instruction, the proxy will vote as they think fit or, at their discretion, withhold from voting.
  2. Completion of a proxy instruction will not affect the right of such member to attend and vote in person at the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

10 If you are a person who has been nominated under section 146 of the Act to enjoy information rights, you may have a right, under an agreement between you and the Shareholder who has nominated you, to be appointed or to have someone else appointed for you as a proxy for the meeting. If you do not have such a right, or you do have such a right but do not wish to exercise it, you may have a right under such an agreement to give instructions to the Shareholder who nominated you as to the exercise of the voting rights attached to the ordinary shares in respect of which you have been nominated.

  1. As at 10 May 2024, being the last practicable date before the publication of this Notice, the Company's issued share capital consisted of 100,005,995 ordinary shares of 50 pence each, carrying one vote each, so that the total number of votes at such date is 100,005,995.
