Notice of Annual General Meeting 2025 and explanatory notes
For ease of reference, the formal resolutions are in bold black text. The explanatory notes below each resolution are for information only and do not form part of the formal resolutions.Notice is hereby given that the one hundred and twenty second Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Tate & Lyle PLC (the Company) will be held at Royal College of Nursing, 20 Cavendish Square, London, W1G 0RN on Thursday 24 July 2025 at 10.30am.
Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, pass the following resolutions.
Resolutions 1 to 19 will be proposed as ordinary resolutions and resolutions 20 to 23 will be proposed as special resolutions.
-
To receive the Reports and Accounts of the Directors and the report of the auditors for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The Directors are legally required to present their reports, the audited accounts and the independent auditors' report in respect of each financial year to shareholders. In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Company proposes a resolution on its audited accounts and reports for the year ended 31 March 2025 (Annual Report 2025). A copy of the Annual Report 2025 is available on the Company's website, https://www.tateandlyle.com/annual-report.
-
To approve the Directors' Remuneration Policy as set out on pages 119 to 123 of the annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
The Company's Remuneration Policy was approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting in 2023. The Policy would not ordinarily have been due for renewal until the 2026 AGM (in line with the typical three-year renewal cycle in the UK), however, the combination with CP Kelco represents a significant acceleration of Tate & Lyle's revenue growth and margin expansion strategy. At the same time, the transaction materially increases the size and geographic presence of the Company. The Committee decided, therefore, that this would be an important opportunity to review our Remuneration Policy and ensure that it remains fit for purpose - especially during this next critical integration phase. Following a detailed review and taking into consideration the global nature of the business (which is almost entirely outside of the UK), the Committee concluded it was necessary to increase the CEO's remuneration to a level commensurate with the responsibilities of the role.
Following a consultation exercise with major shareholders, the Committee is seeking to change the current Remuneration Policy to increase the annual bonus maximum from 150% to 200% of salary to more accurately reflect the Company's future potential growth prospects and need to compete in a global market for senior executive talent. This increase will initially only apply to the Chief Executive, with the entire increase in opportunity delivered in the form of deferred bonus shares as per the current deferral policy.
We are not proposing any changes to the current maximum award under the Company's Performance Share Plan, which would remain at 300% of salary alongside the current above-market shareholding guideline at 400% of salary.
Although not requiring a change to the Remuneration Policy itself, as part of the review of the Remuneration Policy, the Committee concluded that it was necessary to increase the CEO's remuneration to a level commensurate with the
responsibilities of the role. With Nick Hampton's salary having been conservatively managed over the last six years (growing by an annual equivalent of 1.4% per annum since appointment), the Committee decided it was now necessary to recognise this with a salary increase of some 10% above that planned for the wider UK workforce at 3%. This resulted in an increase to
£820,000 from 1 April 2025, closer to mid-market competitive levels for comparable sized UK-listed companies with a similar global footprint.
No other material changes are proposed. This is a binding vote and, if approved by the shareholders, the Directors' Remuneration Policy will continue to apply for three years without further shareholder approval or until amended or replaced by a new remuneration policy. Further details on our approach to the review of the policy are set out on page 118 of the Annual Report 2025.
-
To approve the Directors' Remuneration Report (excluding the Directors' Remuneration Policy) as set on pages 112 to 134 of the annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025.
In accordance with the Companies Act 2006 (the Act), the Company must give shareholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the statement by the Chair of the Remuneration Committee and the Annual Report on Remuneration as set out on pages 112 to 134 of the Annual Report 2025 (save for the Directors' Remuneration Policy as set out on pages 119 to 123).
-
To declare and pay a final dividend of 13.4 pence per share in the Company.
Shareholders are asked to approve a final dividend of 13.4 pence per share for the year ended 31 March 2025. If approved, the dividend will be paid on 1 August 2025 to shareholders on the Register of Members at the close of business on 20 June 2025.
- To re-elect David Hearn as a Director of the Company.
- To re-elect Nick Hampton as a Director of the Company.
- To elect Sarah Kuijlaars as a Director of the Company.
- To re-elect Jeff Carr as a Director of the Company.
- To re-elect John Cheung as a Director of the Company.
- To re-elect Dr Isabelle Esser as a Director of the Company.
- To elect Glenn M. Fish as a Director of the Company.
- To elect Steve Foots as a Director of the Company.
- To re-elect Kimberly Nelson as a Director of the Company.
- To re-elect Warren Tucker as a Director of the Company.
-
To elect Cláudia Vaz de Lestapis as a Director of the Company.
In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, all Directors, with the exception of Lars Frederiksen, will be submitting themselves for election or re-election by shareholders at the AGM. Each Director (with the exception of Mr Foots, who will join the Board only from conclusion of the AGM) has been through a formal performance review process, further details of which can be found in the Annual Report 2025. Following this process, the Board agreed that the performance of each of
the Directors was entirely satisfactory and that they each demonstrate the commitment expected of a Director of the Company. As set out on page 102 of the Annual Report 2025, the Board has concluded that each of the non-executive directors save for Mr Fish and Ms Vaz de Lestapis (both of whom were appointed by JM Huber Corporation) is independent under the terms of the UK Corporate Governance Code.
Biographical details of all Directors can be found on pages 10 and 11.
-
To re-appoint Ernst & Young LLP as auditors to hold office until the conclusion of the next general meeting at which reports and audited accounts are laid before the Company.
The Company is required to appoint or re-appoint auditors at each general meeting at which accounts are laid. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company's relationship with the auditors, Ernst & Young LLP. The Audit Committee Report on pages 107 to 111 of the Annual Report 2025 sets out details of the policy to safeguard the auditors' objectivity and independence and how the Committee reviewed the effectiveness of the auditors and the audit process.
The Board, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, is proposing that Ernst & Young LLP be re-appointed as the Company's auditors.
-
To authorise the Audit Committee (for and on behalf of the Board of Directors) to set the remuneration of the auditors.
At each Annual General Meeting, shareholders are asked to authorise the Directors to set the auditors' remuneration.
The Board has delegated responsibility for the negotiation and approval of the remuneration and terms of engagement of the auditors to the Audit Committee, in accordance with the Statutory Audit Services Order issued by the Competition and Markets Authority in 2014.
-
That the Company and those companies which are subsidiaries of the Company at any time during the period for which this resolution has effect are authorised for the purposes of Part 14 of the Companies Act 2006 (the Act) during the period from the date of the passing of this resolution to the earlier of the conclusion of the Company's next Annual General Meeting or the close of business on 30 September 2026:
- to make political donations to political parties and/or independent election candidates not exceeding £100,000 in total; and
- to make political donations to political organisations other than political parties not exceeding (when aggregated with any donations made under the authority granted in paragraph (a) above) £100,000 in total; and
-
to incur political expenditure not exceeding (when aggregated with any donations made under the authorities granted in paragraphs (a) and (b) above) £100,000 in total.
Any such amounts may comprise sums paid or incurred in one or more currencies. Any sum paid or incurred in a currency other than sterling shall be converted into sterling at such rate as the Board may decide is appropriate. All existing authorisations and approvals relating to political donations or expenditure under Part 14 of the Act are hereby revoked without prejudice to
any donation made or expenditure incurred prior to the date hereof pursuant to such authorisation or approval. Words and expressions defined for the purpose of the Act shall have the same meaning in this resolution.
This resolution asks shareholders to renew the authority given at the Annual General Meeting 2024 to enable the Company and its subsidiaries to support individuals and organisations that may fall within the scope of a 'political party', an 'independent election candidate' or a 'political organisation' and to incur 'political expenditure' as defined in the Act.
Tate & Lyle's policy is not to make donations to political candidates, parties or organisations nor to incur political expenditure and there is no intention of changing that policy. However, the Act includes a broad definition of donations and expenditure in this context, which may include some normal business activities that would not otherwise be regarded as being political in nature. Examples of such activities include sponsorship of bodies concerned with policy review, law reform and the representation of the business community (such as industry forums), involvement in seminars and functions to which politicians are invited and the making of provisions for employees to take time off to campaign for and hold public office. Consequently, the Board, in common with many other companies, on a precautionary basis and to avoid inadvertent infringement of the Act, considers it prudent to ask shareholders to renew this authority for a further period, which will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting or at the close of business on 30 September 2026, whichever is the earlier.
-
That the Directors are generally and unconditionally authorised pursuant to and in accordance with Section 551 of the Act to exercise all the powers of the Company to allot shares in the Company or grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares in the Company:
- up to an aggregate nominal amount of £46,349,668;
-
comprising equity securities (as defined in Section 560(1) of the Act) up to a further aggregate nominal amount of
£46,349,668 in connection with a pre-emptive offer,
such authorities to apply in substitution for all previous authorities pursuant to Section 551 of the Act and to expire at the conclusion of the Company's next Annual General Meeting or at the close of business on 30 September 2026, whichever is the earlier, but, in each case, so that the Company may, before such expiry, make offers and enter into agreements which would, or might, require shares to be allotted or rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares to be granted after the authority given by this resolution has expired.
For the purposes of this Resolution, 'pre-emptive offer' means an offer of equity securities open for acceptance for a period fixed by the Directors to:
- shareholders in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their existing holdings; and
-
people who are holders of other equity securities if this is required by the rights of those securities or, if the Directors consider it necessary, as permitted by the rights of those securities,
but subject in both cases to such exclusions or other arrangements as the Directors may deem necessary or expedient in relation to treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates or legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange.
The purpose of Resolution 19 is to renew the Directors' power to allot shares which is due to expire at the conclusion of the AGM.
The authority in paragraph (a) will allow the Directors to allot new shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert other securities into, shares in any circumstances up to a nominal value of £46,349,668, which is equivalent to approximately 33% of the total issued share capital of the Company, exclusive of treasury shares, as at 27 May 2025.
The authority in paragraph (b) will allow the Directors to allot new shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert other securities into, shares only in connection with a pre-emptive offer up to a further nominal value of £46,349,668 which is equivalent to approximately 33% of the total issued share capital of the Company, exclusive of treasury shares, as at 27 May 2025. This is in line with the Investment Association's Share Capital Management Guidelines issued in February 2023.
There are no present plans to undertake a rights issue or to allot new shares other than in connection with the Company's employee share and incentive plans, but the Directors consider it desirable to have the maximum flexibility permitted by corporate governance guidelines to respond to market developments and to enable allotments to take place to finance business opportunities as they arise.
If the resolution is passed, the authority will expire at the next Annual General Meeting or at the close of business on 30 September 2026, whichever is earlier.
-
That, subject to the passing of Resolution 19 above, the Directors are authorised to allot equity securities (as defined in Section 560(1) of the Act) wholly for cash under the authority given by that resolution and/or to sell ordinary shares held by the Company as treasury shares for cash as if section 561 of the Act did not apply to any such allotment or sale, such authority to be limited:
- to allotments in connection with a pre-emptive offer;
- to the allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares (otherwise than under paragraph (a) above) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £12,992,142 (this amount representing not more than 10% of the issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) of the Company as at the last practicable date prior to publication of this Notice of Meeting); and
- to the allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares (otherwise than under paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above) up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to 20% of any allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares from time to time under paragraph (b) above, such authority to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer which the Directors determine to be of a kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of Section 2B of the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the date of this notice, such authority to expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or at the close of business on 30 September 2026, whichever is the earlier but, in each case, so that the Company may, before such expiry, make offers and enter into agreements which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted and treasury shares to be sold after the authority granted by this resolution has expired and the Directors may allot equity securities and sell treasury shares under any such offer or agreement as if the power had not expired. For the purposes of this Resolution, 'pre-emptive offer' has the same meaning as in Resolution 19.
-
That, subject to the passing of Resolution 19 above and in addition to any power granted under Resolution 20 above, the Directors be authorised to allot equity securities (as defined in the Act) for cash under the authority given by that resolution and/or to sell ordinary shares held by the Company as treasury shares for cash as if Section 561(1) of the Act did not apply to any such allotment or sale, such power to be:
- limited to the allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of £12,992,142 (this amount representing not more than 10% of the issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) of the Company as at the last practicable date prior to publication of this Notice of Meeting), such authority to be used only for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the authority is to be used within 12 months after the original transaction) a transaction which the Directors determine to be either an acquisition or a specified capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the date of this notice; and
-
limited to the allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares (otherwise than under paragraph (a) above) up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to 20% of any allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares from time to time under paragraph (a) above, such authority to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer which the Directors determine to be of a kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of Section 2B of the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the date of this notice,
such authorities to expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company (or, if earlier, at the close of business on 30 September 2026), but, in each case, so that the Company may, before such expiry, make offers and enter into agreements which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted and treasury shares to be sold after the authority granted by this resolution has expired and the Board may allot equity securities and sell treasury shares under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired.
If the Directors wish to allot new shares and other equity securities, or to sell treasury shares, for cash (other than in connection with an employee share scheme), company law requires that these shares or securities are offered first to shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings (known as pre-emption rights). These pre-emption rights can be modified and/or disapplied, in line with investor recommendations, to give the Directors greater flexibility in raising capital for the Company.
The authorities set out in Resolutions 20 and 21 are consistent with the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles and template resolutions which were updated in November 2022 and which are supported generally by representatives of share owners and investment managers, including the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association and the Investment Association (the 'Pre-Emption Principles'). The Pre-Emption Principles were revised to allow the authority for an issue of shares for cash otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer to include an authority up to 10% of a company's issued share capital for use on an unrestricted basis, and an additional authority up to a further 10% of a company's issued share capital for use in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment announced contemporaneously with the issue, or that has taken place in the twelve-month period preceding the announcement of the issue. In both cases, an additional authority of up to 2% may be sought for the purposes of making a follow-on offer and this is intended to help smaller existing and retail investors to participate in equity issues. Resolution 20 seeks shareholder approval to allot a limited number of shares or other equity securities, or to sell treasury shares, for cash on a pre-emptive basis but subject to such exclusions or arrangements as the Directors may deem appropriate to deal with certain legal, regulatory or practical difficulties. For example, in a pre-emptive rights issue, there may be difficulties in relation to fractional entitlements or the issue of new shares to certain shareholders, particularly those resident in certain overseas jurisdictions. In addition, there may be circumstances when the Directors consider it in the best interests of the Company to allot a limited number of shares or other equity securities, or to sell treasury shares, for cash on a non pre-emptive basis.
Accordingly, in line with the revised Pre-Emption Principles, the purpose of Resolution 20 is to empower the Directors to allot new shares and other equity securities pursuant to the allotment authority given by Resolution 19, or to sell treasury shares, for cash up to a nominal value of £12,992,142 equivalent to approximately 10% of the total issued share capital of the Company excluding treasury shares as at 27 May 2025, without the shares first being offered to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings and without restriction as to the use of the proceeds of those allotments. Resolution 20 also provides the flexibility for the Directors to issue equity securities or sell treasury shares for cash in a follow-on offer up to a further nominal value of £2,598,428, equivalent to approximately 2% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at 27 May 2025. The Pre-Emption Principles also support a limited annual disapplication of pre-emption rights with an acquisition or specified capital investment (meaning one or more specific capital investment related uses for the proceeds of an issue of equity securities, in respect of which sufficient information regarding the effect of the transaction on the Company, the assets the subject of the transaction and (where appropriate) the profits attributable to them is made available to shareholders to enable them to reach an assessment of the potential return).
Accordingly, and also in line with the template resolutions published by the Pre-Emption Group in November 2022 , the purpose of Resolution 21 is to empower the Directors to allot new shares and other equity securities pursuant to the allotment authority given by Resolution 19, or to sell treasury shares for cash, up to a further nominal amount of £12,992,142, equivalent to approximately 10% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at 27 May 2025, only in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment which is announced contemporaneously with the allotment, or which has taken place in the preceding twelve-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the issue. Resolution 21 also provides the flexibility for the Directors to issue equity securities or sell treasury shares for cash in a follow-on offer up to a further nominal value of £2,598,428, equivalent to approximately
2% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at
27 May 2025. The Board considers Resolutions 20 and 21 to be appropriate in order to allow the Company flexibility to finance business opportunities or to conduct a pre-emptive offer or rights issue without the need to comply with the strict requirements of the statutory pre-emption provisions. The Directors confirm that they intend to follow the shareholder protections set out in Section 2B of the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles and, for any follow-on offer made, the expected features set out in paragraph 3 of Section 2B of the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles.
-
That the Company is hereby unconditionally and generally authorised for the purpose of Section 701 of the Act to make market purchases (as defined in Section 693 of the Act) of shares of 29 1/6 pence each in the capital of the Company, provided that:
- the maximum aggregate number of shares which may be purchased under this authority is 44,544,487;
- the minimum price (excluding expenses) which may be paid for a share is the nominal value of that share;
- the maximum price (excluding expenses) which may be paid for a share is the higher of (i) 105% of the average of the closing price of the Company's shares as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which such shares are contracted to be purchased, and (ii) the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on the London Stock Exchange as stipulated in Commission-adopted Regulatory Technical Standards pursuant to article 5(6) of the Market Abuse Regulation; and
-
this authority shall expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or at the close of business on 30 September 2026, whichever is earlier (except in relation to the purchase of shares the contract for which was concluded before the expiry of such authority and which might be executed wholly or partly after such expiry), unless such authority is renewed prior to such time.
As in previous years, shareholders are asked to renew the Company's authority to purchase up to 10% of its issued shares, excluding treasury shares, as at 27 May 2025. The resolution specifies the maximum number of shares that may be purchased and the minimum or maximum prices at which they may be bought. The Directors have no present intention of exercising this authority, but wish to have the flexibility to do so in the future and would only exercise the authority after taking account of the market conditions prevailing at the time, the needs of the Company (including the need to hold shares in treasury to satisfy awards made under the Company's share incentive plans), its opportunities for expansion and its overall financial position. Consistent with statements issued by the Investment Association in this regard, the Directors would exercise the authority to purchase shares only if they considered the effect would be an increase in earnings per share and would be in the best interests of shareholders.
Pursuant to the Act, the Company may either cancel repurchased shares or hold them as treasury shares depending on which course of action is considered by the Directors to be in the best interests of the shareholders at that time. Shares held in treasury can either be resold for cash, cancelled (either immediately or at a point in the future) or used for the purposes of the Company's share incentive plans. No dividends will be paid on, and no voting rights will be exercised in respect of, treasury shares.
The total number of shares which may be subscribed for on the exercise of outstanding options as at 27 May 2025 (the latest practicable date prior to the posting of this document) is 231,693, which represents approximately 0.052% of the issued ordinary share capital (less shares currently held in treasury) at that date. If the Company were to purchase shares up to the maximum permitted by this resolution, the proportion of shares subject to outstanding options to subscribe would represent approximately 0.058% of the issued share capital as at 27 May 2025 (less any shares then held in treasury). The Company holds 31,294,579 treasury shares at the date of this document.
- That a general meeting of the Company, other than an Annual General Meeting, may be called on not less than 14 clear days' notice.
Under the Act, the notice period required for all general meetings of the Company is 21 days. Annual General Meetings will always be held on at least 21 clear days' notice but shareholders can approve a shorter notice period for other general meetings, as long as this is not less than 14 clear days. In order to maintain flexibility for the Company, Resolution 23 seeks such approval. The approval will be effective until the Company's next Annual General Meeting, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed. The shorter notice period would not be used as a matter of routine for such meetings, but only where it is merited by the business of the meeting and is considered to be in the interests of shareholders as a whole.

Notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting
Attending and voting
To be entitled to attend, speak and, subject to the Articles, vote at the AGM (and for the purpose of determining the number of votes they may cast), shareholders must be entered on the Company's Register of Members at 6.30pm on Tuesday 22 July 2025 (or, in the case of an adjournment, at 6.30pm on the date which is two business days before the date fixed for the adjourned meeting). Changes to the Register of Members after the relevant deadline shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend, speak and vote at the AGM.
Any shareholder attending the AGM has the right to ask questions. The Chair will ensure that any question relating to the business being dealt with at the AGM receives a response, but in accordance with Section 319A of the Act, no response need be given if:
to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the AGM or involve the disclosure of confidential information;
the answer has already been given on the Company's website in the form of an answer to a question; or
the Chair determines that it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the AGM that the question be answered.
The Chair may determine the order in which questions raised by shareholders are taken, having due regard for shareholders present at the AGM.
Appointment of proxies
Any shareholder of the Company entitled to attend, speak and vote is entitled to appoint another person as their proxy to exercise all or any of their rights to attend and to speak and vote at the AGM. A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that shareholder. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
If you are a shareholder who received this document in the post a form of proxy for use in connection with the Resolutions to be proposed at the AGM is enclosed. Alternatively, shareholders who received this document via these methods may register the appointment of their proxy or proxies electronically by going to Equiniti's website, https://www.shareview.co.uk, and following the instructions. If you have not registered for a Shareview portfolio, please go to https://www.shareview.co.uk and follow the instructions. If you are a shareholder who received an email notification of the availability of this document from https://www.tateandlyle.com or who has already registered with Equiniti's online portfolio service, Shareview, you can appoint a proxy or proxies electronically by logging on to your portfolio at https://www.shareview.co.uk and clicking on the link to vote. CREST members may also use the CREST electronic appointment service to appoint a proxy (see Notes 11 to 14 below). If you are an institutional investor, you may be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform (see Note 17 below). Please note that any electronic communication found to contain a computer virus will not be accepted.
To be valid, the proxy form, electronic proxy appointment or proxy appointment through CREST (see opposite) must be received by Equiniti by no later than 10.30am on Tuesday 22 July 2025. The address to which hard copy proxy forms should be sent is set out on page 11 of this document. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power of authority) must be included with the proxy form.
Holders via the Corporate Sponsored Nominee Service
Holders via the Corporate Sponsored Nominee Service, already registered with Equiniti's online portfolio service, Shareview, can register their voting instruction electronically by logging on to their portfolio at https://www.shareview.co.uk and clicking on the link to vote. If you have not registered for a Shareview portfolio, please go to https://www.shareview.co.uk and follow the instructions.
To be valid, the voting instruction together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed, must be received by Equiniti by no later than 10.30am on Monday 21 July 2025. If you submit more than one voting instruction in respect of the same holding, the instruction received last by Equiniti before the aforementioned deadline for receipt of voting instructions will take precedence.
Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the voting instruction is signed (or a duly certified copy of
such power or authority) must be included.
If the holder via the Corporate Sponsored Nominee Service is
a corporation, the voting instruction must be executed under seal or signed by a duly authorised officer or attorney.
The Corporate Sponsored Nominee will appoint the Chair of the meeting as its proxy to cast the votes of holders via the Corporate Sponsored Nominee Service. The Chair may also vote or abstain from voting as they think fit on any other business (including amendments to the resolutions included in this document and on any procedural business, including any resolution to adjourn) which may come before the AGM.
Appointment of proxies through CREST
CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the AGM (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(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor 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 using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it relates to the appointment of a proxy or to 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 Equiniti (ID RA19) by no later than 10.30am on Tuesday 22 July 2025. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which Equiniti 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.
CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers, should note that Euroclear 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(s), to procure that their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) 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 sponsors or voting service providers, are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings. The CREST Manual can be reviewed at https://www.euroclear.com.
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.
Information on website
A copy of this Notice of AGM 2025 and other information required by Section 311A of the Act can be found on the Company's website, https://www.tateandlyle.com/investors/agm.
Electronic communication
You may not use any electronic address provided either in this Notice of AGM 2025 or any related documents including the proxy form to communicate with the Company for any purpose other than those expressly stated.
Appointment of proxy through Proxymity
If you are an institutional investor, you may be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the Registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to https://www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 10.30am on Tuesday 22 July 2025 in order to be considered valid. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process, you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's associated terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound
by them, and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy.
Corporate representatives
Any corporation which is a shareholder can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a shareholder provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares.
Shareholders' rights
Shareholders should note that, on a request made by shareholders of the Company under Section 527 of the Act, the Company may be required to publish on a website a statement setting out any matter relating to:
the audit of the Company's accounts (including the auditors' report and the conduct of the audit) that are to be laid before the AGM; or
any circumstance connected with the auditors of the Company ceasing to hold office since the previous meeting at which annual reports and accounts were laid in accordance with Section 437 of the Act.
The Company may not require the shareholders requesting any such website publication to pay its expenses in complying with Sections 527 or 528 (requirements as to website availability) of the Act. Where the Company is required to place a statement on a website under Section 527 of the Act, it must forward the statement to the Company's auditors not later than the time when it makes the statement available on the website. The business which may be dealt with at the AGM for the relevant financial year includes any statement that the Company has been required under Section 527 of the Act to publish on a website.
Nominated persons
A person who is not a shareholder of the Company, but has been nominated by a shareholder to enjoy information rights in accordance with Section 146 of the Act (Nominated Person), does not have the right to appoint a proxy, although he or she may have a right under an agreement with the shareholder to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy. Alternatively, if Nominated Persons do not have such a right,
or do not wish to exercise it, they may have a right under an agreement with the relevant shareholder to give instructions as to the exercise of voting rights.
If you have been nominated to receive general shareholder communications directly from the Company, it is important to remember that your main contact in terms of your investment remains the registered shareholder or custodian or broker who administers the investment on your behalf. Therefore, any changes or queries relating to your personal details and holding (including any administration) must continue to be directed to your existing contact at your investment manager or custodian. The Company cannot guarantee to deal with matters that are directed to it in error. The only exception to this is where the Company, in exercising one of its powers under the Act, writes to you directly for a response.
