  7. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the Annual General Meeting and any adjournment(s) thereof by using 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 should refer to their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made 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's specifications 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 Company's agent, Link Group (CREST Participant ID: RA10), no later than 11:00a.m., on 14 June 2024 or, in the event of an adjournment of the meeting, 48 hours before the adjourned meeting. 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
    Company's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.
    CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsor or voting service provider should note that Euroclear UK & International Limited 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 member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that his or her CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) 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 sponsor or voting service provider 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.

Explanatory notes to the notice of annual general meeting

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

Resolutions 1 to 9 are proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in favour of the

Resolution 1

The Directors will present their report and the audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 together with the auditors' report thereon.

Resolution 2

Resolution 2 is to approve the Remuneration Report on pages 41 to 49 of the Company's annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 ("Annual Report"). Section 439 of the Companies Act 2006 requires that a remuneration report is put to a vote of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. This vote is advisory and the directors' entitlement to receive remuneration is not conditional on it.

Resolution 3

Dividends are approved by the shareholders of the Company but cannot be more than the amount recommended by the directors. The directors are recommending a dividend for the year ended 31 December 2023 of 4.0 pence per Ordinary Share due and payable on 29 July 2024 to the Shareholders on the register at close of business on 8 July 2024. This resolution seeks shareholders' approval of the proposed dividend.

Resolution 4

The Articles of Association of the Company require that directors should submit themselves for re-election at least once every three years. This year Mr Andrew Heller will retire and offer himself for re-election. Biographical details relating to Mr Andrew Heller can be found on page 34 of the Annual Report.

Resolution 5

The Articles of Association of the Company require that directors should submit themselves for re-election at least once every three years. This year Mr Robert Grobler will retire and offer himself for re-election. Biographical details relating to Mr Robert Grobler can be found on page 34 of the Annual Report.

Bisichi PLC 7

Resolution 6

The Articles of Association of the Company require that directors should submit themselves for re-election at least once every three years. This year Mr John Wong will retire and offer himself for re-election. Biographical details relating to Mr John Wong can be found on page 34 of the Annual Report.

Resolution 7

The Company is required to appoint auditors at each general meeting at which accounts are laid before shareholders, to hold office until the next such meeting. The directors are satisfied with the performance and terms of appointment of Kreston Reeves LLP and accordingly the resolution proposes that Kreston Reeves LLP be appointed as auditors for the current year.

Resolution 8

This resolution proposes that the directors be authorised to set the remuneration of the auditors.

Resolution 9

In certain circumstances it is important for the Company to be able to allot shares up to a maximum amount without needing to seek shareholder approval every time an allotment is required. Paragraph 9.1.1 of Resolution 9 would give the directors the authority to allot shares in the Company and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares in the Company up to an aggregate nominal value of £355,894. This represents approximately 1/3 (one third) of the ordinary share capital of the Company in issue (excluding treasury shares) at 25 April 2024 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this document). Paragraph 9.1.2 of Resolution 9 would give the directors the authority to allot shares in the Company and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares in the Company up to a further aggregate nominal value of £355,894, in connection with a pre-emptive rights issue. This amount represents approximately 1/3 (one third) of the ordinary share capital of the Company in issue (excluding treasury shares) at 25 April 2024 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this document).

Therefore, the maximum nominal value of shares or rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares which may be allotted or granted under resolution 9 is £711,788 representing approximately 2/3 (two thirds) of the ordinary share capital of the Company in issue (excluding treasury shares) at 25 April 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document).

Resolution 9 complies with guidance issued by the Institutional Voting Information Service (the voting advisory service of the Investment Association) ("IVIS").

The authority granted by Resolution 9 will expire on 31 August 2025 or, if earlier, the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company. The directors have no present intention to make use of this authority. However, if they do exercise the authority, the directors intend to follow best practice as regards its use as recommended by the IVIS.

Recommendation

The directors consider that all of the resolutions to be put to the meeting are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. The board of directors of the Company recommends that shareholders vote in favour of all resolutions.
