Notes

The following notes explain your general rights as a shareholder and your rights to attend and vote at this Annual General Meeting or to appoint someone else to vote on your behalf.

  1. Members are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of their rights to attend and to speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the Annual General Meeting provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that shareholder. To appoint more than one proxy you may photocopy this form. Please indicate the proxy holder'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 shares held by you). Please also indicate if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope. To be valid, the form of proxy and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a certified copy of such power or authority must be lodged at the offices of the Company's registrars,
    Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY by hand, or sent by post, so as to be received not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for the holding of the meeting (excluding any part of the day which is not a business day) or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be).
  2. To appoint one or more proxies or to give an instruction to a proxy (whether previously appointed or otherwise) via the CREST system, CREST messages must be received by the issuer's agent (ID number
    3RA50) not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp generated by the CREST system) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message. The Company may treat as invalid a proxy appointment sent by CREST in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
  3. Any member entitled to attend and vote at the meeting may appoint one or more proxies to attend and, on a poll, vote instead of him. A proxy need not also be a member.
  4. The completion and return of a form of proxy will not preclude a member from attending in person at the meeting and voting should he wish to do so.
  5. The Company has specified that only those members entered on the register of members at close of business on the day that is two days before the day of the meeting shall be entitled to attend and vote at the meeting in respect of the number of Ordinary Shares of 1p each in the capital of the Company held in their name at that time. Changes to the register after close of business on the day that is two days before the day of the meeting shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.

EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The notes provide an explanation of the proposed Ordinary and Special resolutions of the meeting.

Resolution 1 - Company law requires the Directors to present the annual report and accounts of the Company to the shareholders in respect of each financial year.

Resolution 2 - Article 25.2 of the Company's Articles of Association requires that one third of the directors of the Company who have held office since the last Annual General Meeting, must retire and, if they are eligible, may offer themselves for re-election.

Resolutions 3 to 5 - Article 20.2 of the Company's Articles of Association requires that all directors appointed since the previous Annual General Meeting stand for re-election at the next following meeting. Therefore David Hobbs, Allegra Scheirer and Linda Havard, having been appointed since the last Annual General Meeting held on 20th March 2023, are offering themselves for re-election.

Resolution 6 - The Company is required to appoint an Auditor to serve for each financial year of the Company. The appointment must be made before the end of the general meeting before which accounts are laid. The Company's previous Auditor, UHY Hacker Young LLP, has resigned as the Company's Auditor and will not stand for re-appointment at the Annual General Meeting. The board appointed PKF Littlejohn LLP as the Company's new Auditor and PKF Littlejohn LLP will seek appointment as the Company's Auditor at the Annual General Meeting. Resolution 6 is, therefore, for the members to appoint PKF Littlejohn LLP as Auditors of the Company and to authorise the directors to determine their remuneration.

Resolution 7 - As required by the Act, this resolution, to be proposed as an Ordinary Resolution, relates to the grant to the Directors of authority to allot unissued Ordinary Shares until the conclusion of the next following Annual General Meeting, unless the authority is renewed or revoked prior to such time. This authority is limited to a maximum of 306,370,500 Ordinary Shares of 1p each. This authority replaces the existing authority granted at the Annual General Meeting held on 20th March 2023.

Resolution 8 - The Act requires that if the Directors decide to allot unissued Ordinary Shares in the Company the shares proposed to be issued be first offered to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings. This is known as shareholders' pre-emption rights. However, to act in the best interests of the Company the Directors may require flexibility to allot shares for cash without regard to the provisions of Section 561(1) of the Act. Therefore this resolution, to be proposed as a Special Resolution, seeks authority to enable the Directors to allot equity securities up to a maximum of 306,370,500 Ordinary Shares of 1p each. This authority replaces the existing authority granted at the Annual General Meeting held on 20th March 2023.
