SPECIAL RESOLUTION

THAT, for the purpose of giving effect to the scheme of arrangement dated 11 June 2024 between the Company and the holders of Scheme Shares (as defined in such scheme of arrangement), a print of which has been produced to this meeting and for the purposes of identification signed by the chairman of this meeting, in its original form or subject to such modification, addition or condition as may be agreed between the Company and Quanex and approved or imposed by the Court (the "Scheme"):

  1. the directors of the Company (or a duly authorised committee of the directors) be authorised to take all such action as they may consider necessary or appropriate for carrying the Scheme into effect; and
  2. with effect from the passing of this resolution, the articles of association of the Company be and are amended by the adoption and inclusion of the following new article:
    "142. Scheme of Arrangement
    1. In this article, references to the Scheme are to the scheme of arrangement dated 11 June 2024 under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 between the company and the holders of Scheme Shares and as approved by the holders of the Scheme Shares at the meeting convened by the Court (as defined in the Scheme) and subject to any modification, addition or condition agreed by the company and Quanex Building Products Corporation, a company incorporated in the state of Delaware and headquartered in 945 Bunker Hill Rd, Suite 900, Houston, TX 77024 ("Quanex") and approved or imposed by the High Court of Justice of England and Wales and otherwise expressions defined in the Scheme shall have the same (save as defined in this article) meanings in this article.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of these articles, if the company issues any shares (or transfers any shares out of treasury) or if the company instructs the company's employee benefit trust to transfer any shares to a participant in the company's share plans, other than to Quanex, any subsidiary of Quanex or any nominee(s) of Quanex on or after the Voting Record Time and before the Scheme Record Time (each as defined in the Scheme), such shares shall be issued or transferred subject to the terms of the Scheme and the holder or holders of such ordinary shares shall be bound by the Scheme accordingly.

EU-DOCS49715296.2

  1. Notwithstanding any other provision of these articles, subject to the Scheme becoming effective, if any shares are issued, transferred out of treasury or transferred to any person (other than under the Scheme or to Quanex, any subsidiary of Quanex or any nominee(s) of Quanex) at or after the Scheme Record Time (a "New Member") (each a "Post-SchemeShare"), such Post-Scheme Shares shall be issued or transferred on terms that they shall (on the Effective Date (as defined in the Scheme)) or, if later, on the issue or transfer (but subject to the terms of paragraph (iv) below), be immediately transferred to Quanex (or as it may direct) (the "Purchaser"), who shall be obliged to acquire each Post-Scheme Share in consideration of and conditional on the payment by or on behalf of Quanex to the New Member of the Relevant Consideration (as defined in paragraph (v) below).
  2. On any reorganisation of, or material alteration to, the share capital of the company (including, without limitation, any subdivision and/or consolidation) carried out after the Effective Date (as defined in the Scheme), the value of the consideration per Post-Scheme Share to be paid under paragraph (iii) above shall be adjusted by the directors in such manner as the auditors of the company or an independent investment bank selected by the company may determine to be fair and reasonable to reflect such reorganisation or alteration. References in this article to such shares shall, following such adjustment, be construed accordingly.
  3. In this article, "Relevant Consideration" means the payment to the New Member of the same consideration, consisting of the default combination of cash and New Quanex Shares (after the deduction of any income tax and employee social security contributions or equivalent amounts in any jurisdiction, their employer or any other company is required to withhold or account for in respect of that consideration or the acquisition of the relevant Post-Scheme Shares, or for which the company or any other company has agreed to account with the consent of the relevant New Member) for each Post-Scheme Share as the relevant New Member would have been entitled to pursuant to the Scheme had each Post-Scheme Share been a Scheme Share (as defined in the Scheme).
  4. To give effect to any transfer of Post-Scheme Shares required by this article, the company may appoint any person as attorney and/or agent for the New Member to transfer the Post-Scheme Shares to the Purchaser and/or its nominees and do all such other things and execute and deliver all such documents or deeds as may in the opinion of the attorney or agent be necessary or desirable to vest the Post-Scheme Shares in the Purchaser and, pending such vesting, to exercise all such rights attaching to the Post-Scheme Shares as the Purchaser may direct. If an attorney or agent is so appointed, the New Member shall not thereafter (except to the extent that the attorney or agent fails to act in accordance with the directions of the Purchaser) be entitled to exercise any rights attaching to the Post-Scheme Shares unless so agreed in writing by the Purchaser. The attorney or agent shall be empowered to execute and deliver as transferor a form of transfer or instructions of transfer on behalf of the New Member (or any subsequent holder) in favour of the Purchaser. The company may give good receipt for the consideration for the Post-Scheme Shares and may register the Purchaser as holder of the Post-Scheme Shares and issue to it certificates for the same. The company shall not be obliged to issue a certificate to the New Member for any Post-Scheme Shares. The Purchaser shall settle the consideration due to the New Member pursuant to paragraph (iii) above by sending a cheque drawn on a UK clearing bank (or shall procure that such a cheque is sent) in favour of the New Member (or any subsequent holder) for the purchase price of such Post-Scheme Shares within 14 days of the date on which the Post-Scheme Shares are issued to the New Member.

EU-DOCS49715296.2

  1. This article shall cease to be effective if the Scheme shall not have become effective on or before 22 January 2025 (or such later date, if any, as Quanex and Tyman may agree, either as required by the Panel or with its consent, and the Court (if required) may allow (the "Long Stop Date")). If the Scheme has not become effective by the Long Stop Date this article shall be of no effect.
  2. Notwithstanding any other provision of these articles, both the company and the directors shall refuse to register the transfer of any Scheme Shares effected between the Scheme Record Time and the Effective Date of the Scheme other than to Quanex or its nominee(s)."
