IMPORTANT INFORMATION - IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON THE AGM

The Company continues to monitor the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, including UK Government legislation and guidance. The health of our shareholders, employees and stakeholders is extremely important to us. Given this, the Board has taken the decision that shareholders, advisers and other guests will not be allowed to attend the Annual General Meeting in person and anyone seeking to attend the Annual General Meeting will be refused entry. The Company will arrange for the minimum quorum of two shareholders necessary to conduct the business of the Annual General Meeting to be present in person at the Annual General Meeting and social distancing guidelines will be observed. Shareholders are strongly encouraged therefore to appoint the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting as their proxy with directions as to how to cast their vote on the Resolutions proposed. If a shareholder appoints someone else as their proxy, that proxy will not be able to attend the Annual General Meeting in person or cast that shareholder's vote. Please refer to the detailed notes contained in the Notice of Annual General Meeting and the Form of Proxy. Should members wish to ask any questions which they may have otherwise asked at the Annual General Meeting had they been in attendance regarding the Resolutions, they are encouraged to contact the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting by email at investors@cct.co.uk.

Notes: 1. Given the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, and to ensure adherence to current Government requirements, attendance in person at the meeting will not be possible this year. Shareholders are requested to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as his or her proxy as any other person so appointed will not be permitted to attend the meeting. The below notes are to be read subject to this COVID-19 related proviso.

  1. Pursuant to Regulation 41 of The Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 and paragraph 18(c) of The Companies Act 2006 (Consequential Amendments) (Uncertificated Securities) Order 2009, the Company specifies that only those members registered on the Company's register of members 48 hours before the time of the Meeting shall be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting.

  3. As a member of the Company you are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at a general meeting of the Company. You can only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes.

To appoint as your proxy a person other than the Chairman of the meeting, insert their full name in the space provided. If you sign and return the proxy form with no name inserted in the space, the Chairman of the meeting will be deemed to be your proxy. Where you appoint as your proxy someone other than the Chairman, you are responsible for ensuring that they attend the meeting and are aware of your voting intentions. If you wish your proxy to make any comments on your behalf, you will need to appoint someone other than the Chairman and give him or her the relevant instructions directly.
  5. You may appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. You may not appoint more than one proxy to exercise rights attached to any one share.
  6. To direct your proxy how to vote on the resolutions mark the appropriate box with an 'X'. If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at his or her discretion. Your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the meeting.
  7. To appoint a proxy using the proxy form, the form must be:
    • completed and signed;
    • sent or delivered to Share Registrars Ltd at The Courtyard, 17 West Street, Farnham, Surrey, GU9 7DR or by facsimile transmission to 01252 719 232;
    • alternatively, the completed proxy form can be scanned and emailed to voting@shareregistrars.uk.com;
    • and received by Share Registrars Ltd no later than 48 hours (excluding non-business days) prior to the Meeting.

  9. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the proxy form and received by the registrars no later than 48 hours (excluding non-business days) prior to the Meeting.
  10. In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).
  11. To change your proxy instructions simply submit a new proxy appointment using the methods set out above. Note that the cut-off time for receipt of proxy appointments (see above) also apply in relation to amended instructions; any amended proxy appointment received after the relevant cut-off time will be disregarded.
  12. Where you have appointed a proxy using the hard-copy proxy form and would like to change the instructions using another hard-copy proxy form, please contact Share Registrars Ltd on 01252 821 390.
  13. If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.
