PART II

NOTES TO THE RESOLUTIONS

RESOLUTION 1 - 2023 ANNUAL REPORT

This resolution deals with the delivery by the Directors to shareholders of the annual accounts and reports of the Company, including the reports of the Directors and auditor for the year ended 31 December 2023.

RESOLUTION 2 - DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION REPORT

In accordance with section 439 of the Companies Act 2006, the Board seeks shareholder approval for the Directors' Remuneration Report, set out on pages 94 to 115 of the 2023 Annual Report.

The vote on resolution 2 is only advisory, therefore the Directors' entitlement to remuneration is not conditional on the resolution being passed.

RESOLUTION 3 - FINAL DIVIDEND

Shareholders are asked to approve the final dividend in respect of the year ended 31 December 2023, which cannot be more than the amount that the Directors recommend. If resolution 4 is passed, the proposed final dividend of 5.7p per ordinary share will be paid on 24 May 2024 to ordinary shareholders who are on the register of members at close of business on 26 April 2024.

RESOLUTIONS 4 AND 5 - APPOINTMENT AND REMUNERATION OF THE AUDITOR

The auditor of the Company must be re-appointed by shareholders at each general meeting at which the accounts are presented. EY LLP has expressed a willingness to continue in office and resolution 4 proposes their re-appointment from the conclusion of the AGM until the conclusion of the next general meeting of the Company at which accounts are presented.

In resolution 5, the Directors seek the usual shareholder authority to agree the auditor's remuneration.

RESOLUTIONS 6 TO 13 - ELECTION OR RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Company follows the requirements of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code in relation to the annual re-election of all Directors.

Biographical details of all Directors standing for election or re-election, including a statement of their contribution to the long- term success of the Company, are set out in Appendix 1 on pages 13 to 16 and can be found on pages 70 to 72 of the Annual Report and Accounts. They are also available on the investor website at plc.rightmove.co.uk.

Following the outcome of the Board performance review process, the Nomination Committee concluded that all Directors:

  1. have the necessary skills for and make an effective and valuable contribution to Board meetings, and to the meetings of the committees on which they sit; and
  2. demonstrate a strong commitment to their roles and the Company.

The Board therefore recommends the election or re-election of all the Directors seeking election or re-election by virtue of their skills, experience and contribution to the Board and to the long-term success of the Company.

RESOLUTION 14 - ALLOTMENT OF SHARES

The Directors may not allot new shares in the Company unless authorised to do so by shareholders in general meeting. Resolution 14 is proposed as an ordinary resolution to replace the authority granted in May 2023, which is due to expire at the conclusion of this AGM. If approved by shareholders, this authority will expire at the conclusion of the AGM of the Company to be held in 2025 or, if earlier, the close of business on 10 August 2025.

Resolution 14 grants the Directors authority to allot ordinary shares in the Company, or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into ordinary shares of the Company, up to an aggregate nominal value of £266,759, representing approximately

33.33 percent of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding shares held in treasury) as at the close of business on 13 March 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice).

All existing share-based incentives can be satisfied from shares held in the Rightmove plc Employee Benefit Trust ('EBT') or from shares held in treasury, without any requirement to issue further shares. It is intended that share-based incentive awards granted or vesting in 2024 will also be settled from shares held in the EBT or from shares held in treasury so that the Company will not need to issue further shares.

7

Save as described above, the Directors have no present intention of issuing new shares in the Company. At the close of business on 13 March 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice) the Company held 11,612,292 ordinary shares in treasury, representing 1.5% percent of the Company's total ordinary shares in issue (excluding shares held in treasury).

RESOLUTIONS 15 AND 16 - DISAPPLICATION OF PRE-EMPTION RIGHTS

The Directors request limited authority from shareholders to allot ordinary shares or sell the ordinary shares held in treasury for cash otherwise than to existing shareholders pro rata to their holdings, as the Company would normally be required to do under the statutory pre-emption rights contained in section 561 of the Companies Act 2006.

The Directors intend to continue following the provisions of the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles regarding authority to issue equity securities non-pre-emptively and accordingly propose two separate resolutions to replace the corresponding authorities granted in May 2023, which are due to expire at the conclusion of this AGM.

  1. Resolution 15, if passed, will allow the Company to deal with pro-rata share issues, such as rights issues, in a more practical manner with regard to fractional entitlements to shares and to exclude certain overseas shareholders from participating in share issues in circumstances, for example, where there are restrictive or onerous laws in such countries. Apart from such offers of shares, this authority will be limited to the issue of shares and sale of shares held in treasury for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of £40,017 being approximately 5 percent of the total ordinary share capital of the Company (excluding shares held in treasury) as at the close of business on 13 March 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice).
  2. Resolution 16, if passed, will allow the Company to issue shares or sell shares held in treasury for cash for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the authority is used within six months of the original transaction) an acquisition or specified capital investment which the Board believes is contemplated by the Pre-emption Group's Statement of Principles. This authority is limited to an aggregate nominal value of £40,017 being approximately 5 percent of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company (excluding shares held in treasury) as at the close of business on 13 March 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice).

If granted, the authorities in resolutions 15 and 16 will expire at the conclusion of the AGM of the Company to be held in 2025 or, if earlier, the close of business on 10 August 2025.

RESOLUTION 17 - PURCHASE OF THE COMPANY'S OWN SHARES

Resolution 17, if passed, will provide authority for the Company to purchase its issued ordinary shares (excluding shares held in treasury) in the market at a price (exclusive of expenses) not less than 0.1p per ordinary share and not more than the highest of:

  1. an amount equal to 105% of the average market value for an ordinary share for the five business days immediately preceding the date of the purchase; and
  2. the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on the trading venues where the purchase is carried out.

The maximum authority sought is up to 10 percent of the Company's total issued ordinary share capital (excluding shares held in treasury) as at the close of business on 13 March 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice). This authority will allow sufficient flexibility for the Company to continue its share buyback programme, in line with its stated capital allocation policy, which in 2023 resulted in 23.9 million 0.1p shares being repurchased and cancelled. The effect of such purchases could be to reduce the number of shares outside treasury (and, if the purchased shares are cancelled, the number of shares in issue). The Directors will only exercise this authority if they consider this to be effective capital management and the buyback would be in the best interests of shareholders generally, taking into account relevant factors and circumstances at that time, for example the effect on earnings per share. If granted, this authority will expire at the conclusion of the AGM of the Company to be held in 2025 or, if earlier, the close of business on 10 August 2025.

In the event that shares are purchased, they would either be cancelled (and the number of shares in the Company would be reduced accordingly) or, subject to the Companies Act 2006, retained as shares held in treasury. Treasury shares may be held by the Company with a view to possible re-sale at a future date rather than being cancelled. The Company will consider holding as treasury shares any shares purchased pursuant to the authority conferred by this resolution. This would give the Company the ability to re-issue treasury shares quickly and cost effectively and would provide the Company with additional flexibility in the management of its share capital.

8

The Directors wish to emphasise that the maximum number of ordinary shares and the price range are stated merely for the purposes of compliance with statutory and UK Listing Authority requirements and should not be taken as any representation of the terms upon which the Company may purchase shares.

As at the close of business on 13 March 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice), there were outstanding 5,540,038 share-based incentives which could be satisfied by the issue of ordinary shares representing 0.69 percent of the Company's ordinary share capital (excluding shares held in treasury). It is expected that all outstanding share- based incentives which could be satisfied by the issue of ordinary shares will be satisfied from shares held in the SIP Trust, the EBT or from shares held in treasury without the requirement to allot additional shares. If the existing authority given at the 2023 AGM and the authority now being sought by resolution 17 were to be exercised in full, the share-based incentives which could be satisfied by the issue of ordinary shares would represent 0.77 percent of the then Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding shares bought back into treasury) and would, taking into account only the authority being sought (on the basis that the existing authority will expire on the date of the AGM), represent 0.84 percent.

RESOLUTION 18 - POLITICAL DONATIONS

Part 14 of the Companies Act 2006, amongst other things, prohibits the Company and its subsidiaries from making political donations and from incurring political expenditure in respect of a political party or other political organisation or an independent candidate unless authorised by the Company's shareholders.

It remains the policy of the Company not to make any political donations or to incur any political expenditure and the Directors have no intention of using the authority for that purpose. However, the legislation is widely drafted and it is possible that the Company or any of its subsidiaries may wish to support organisations which are not believed to be political in the ordinary sense but which might come within the scope of the provisions in the Companies Act 2006, including organisations concerned with matters such as the review and reform of government policy or the law. For example, a donation to a humanitarian charity which operates as a political lobby, sponsorship, subscriptions, paid leave to employees fulfilling public duties and payments to industry representative bodies may constitute a donation to a political organisation within the current definitions. Therefore, to avoid any inadvertent infringement of the legislation, the Directors consider it prudent to seek shareholder approval for the Company and its subsidiaries to make political donations and incur political expenditure pursuant to the Companies Act 2006.

RESOLUTION 19 - NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS

The Companies Act 2006 requires all general meetings to be held on at least 21 clear days' notice unless shareholders approve a shorter notice period, which cannot be less than 14 clear days. Such approval will not affect AGMs, which will continue to be held on at least 21 clear days' notice.

Resolution 19 seeks authority for the Company to be able to continue to call general meetings, apart from AGMs, on not less than 14 clear days' notice. The approval will be effective until the Company's next AGM, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed. This shorter notice period will not be used as a matter of routine but only where flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be to the advantage of shareholders as a whole.

RESOLUTION 20 - RIGHTMOVE PLC SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN 2024

Resolution 20 relates to the proposed introduction of a new tax-advantaged,all-employee share incentive plan by the Company, the Rightmove plc Share Incentive Plan 2024.

The Company's existing tax-advantaged,all-employee share incentive plan is the Rightmove plc Share Incentive Plan (the "Existing SIP"). Since its approval by the Board of Directors in 2014, the Existing SIP has been used to provide a mechanism under which all employees of the Company and other members of the Company's group can purchase and/or receive Company shares on a tax-qualified basis. The Existing SIP is due to reach the end of its 10-year life in November 2024.

The Existing SIP was not approved by shareholders when first adopted by the Company so that no new shares have been issued and/or shares transferred from treasury in connection with the Existing SIP.

The Remuneration Committee of the Company has concluded that the Existing SIP should be replaced with the New SIP and, further, that shareholder authority for the New SIP should now be sought under Resolution 20 in order to permit newly- issued shares and/or treasury shares to be delivered to employees in connection with the New SIP, subject to the Company observing a '10% over 10 years' dilution limit. The terms of the New SIP have otherwise been drafted to be materially similar to the Existing SIP and comply with current legislative requirements in order to ensure that shares can be delivered under the New SIP on a tax-qualified basis.

A summary of the principal terms of the New SIP is set out in Appendix 2 to this notice.

  8. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a 'CREST Proxy Instruction') must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International Limited's specifications, and must contain the information required for such instruction, as described in the CREST Manual (available viawww.euroclear.com). The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID RA10) by 10am on Wednesday, 8 May 2024. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the time stamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
