Dear shareholder,

Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held on Thursday, 7 July 2022

As you will recall, last year we held our first hybrid AGM with shareholders able to attend in person or virtually. We were pleased that many shareholders opted to join the AGM virtually and asked questions which allowed us to engage effectively with our shareholders.

Due to the success of last year's AGM, we have chosen to once again hold a hybrid AGM. We strongly encourage our shareholders to take advantage of this and join the Meeting virtually. You will be able to watch a live webcast, hear an update on business performance throughout the year and our progress on strategy. You will also be able to ask questions and vote on the resolutions on-line, and ask questions verbally via a virtual microphone.

All the details on how to join the Meeting electronically or in person can be found on page 20 of this Notice of Meeting. If you were planning to attend the AGM in person, we would request that you do not do so if you are displaying any symptoms of Covid-19 to minimise the risk to others. Tea, coffee and water will be served for a short time prior to the start of the AGM for those who do attend in person.

There are 20 Resolutions proposed at this year's AGM and we will take all of these on a

poll vote. Explanatory notes to each of these Resolutions are set out in Part I of this Notice.

Your Directors consider the Resolutions to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole, and unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of them, as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings. The voting results will be notified to the London Stock Exchange and posted on our website as soon as possible after the Meeting.

I would like to thank you for your continued support. Yours sincerely,

Cressida Hogg

Chairman
