As a result of the current crisis of COVID-19 and the UK Government's restrictions, the Company's December 2020 AGM will be run as a closed meeting. Shareholders should therefore not attend the meeting in person and instead are strongly encouraged to submit their proxy vote, appointing the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy to ensure that their votes are registered. Shareholders will not be permitted to attend the AGM in person and will be refused entry. The Company will continue to monitor the situation and issue updates if and when necessary.

In accordance with the Company's articles of association, whilst submission of a proxy vote would not preclude shareholders from attending, speaking and voting in person at the AGM should they so wish, shareholders are reminded that to attend would currently breach the Government's measures in relation to COVID-19. Voting will take place as usual, however, if the Company is of the view that this does not reflect the proxy votes, the Chairman of the meeting will direct voting to be by poll.

THAT the Company be and it is hereby generally and unconditionally authorised for the purposes of section 701 of the Act to make market purchases (as defined in section 693(4) of the Act) of ordinary shares of £0.0001 each in the capital of the Company ("ordinary shares") on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may from time to time determine provided that:

  2. the minimum price (exclusive of expenses) which may be paid for each ordinary share is £0.0001; and
  3. the maximum price (exclusive of expenses) which may be paid for any ordinary share does not exceed the higher of:
    1. 5 per cent. above the average middle market price of the ordinary shares on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange plc (AIM) for the five business days immediately preceding the date on which the Company agrees to buy the shares concerned; and

NOTES:

  1. Pursuant to regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001, the Company specifies that in order to have the right to attend and vote at the AGM (and also for the purpose of determining how many votes a person entitled to attend and vote may cast), a person must be entered on the register of members of the Company no later than close of business on the day that is two days before the time for holding the meeting or any adjournment of it. Changes to entries on the register of members after this time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting. References in these Notes to attend should however be construed in light of Covid-19 restrictions, as summarised in the AGM Notice which will restrict physical attendance at the AGM.
  2. Only holders of ordinary shares are entitled to attend and vote at this meeting.
    A member is entitled to appoint another person as his proxy to exercise all or any of his rights to attend, to speak and to vote at the AGM. A member may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the meeting, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by him. A proxy need not be a member of the Company.
    You will have received a hard copy proxy form for the 2020 AGM in the post if you have not selected to receive electronic communications. If you have selected to receive electronic communications, you will receive your proxy form by email from the Company's Registrar (Share Registrar). Please submit your proxy vote so as to reach the Company's registrar no later than 11.00 a.m. on 24 December 2020 by email voting@shareregistrars.uk.com or by mail to: The Company Secretary: Corcel plc c/o Share Registrars Ltd, The Courtyard, 17 West Street, Farnham, Surrey, GU9 7DR

If you are a CREST member, see note 3 below.

Completion of a form of proxy, or other instrument appointing a proxy or any CREST Proxy Instruction, will not preclude a member attending and voting in person at the meeting if he/she wishes to do so.

In light of the COVID-19 restrictions, all shareholders are strongly encouraged and requested to only appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy or representative as the AGM will be a closed meeting.

  1. Alternatively, if you are a member of CREST, you may register the appointment of a proxy by using the CREST electronic proxy appointment service. Further details are contained below.
    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, and to the address, described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com/CREST) (log-in required) subject to the provisions of the Company's Articles of Association. 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 UK & Ireland Limited's ("Euroclear") specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or 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:7RA36) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified in the notice of the AGM. 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 Applications 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.
    CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s) 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 his or her 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 provider(s) 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.
  2. Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a member provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares.
  3. As at 2 December 2020 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this notice) the Company's issued voting share capital consists of 291,621,614 ordinary shares, carrying one vote each. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company as at that date are 291,621,614.
    You may not use any electronic address (within the meaning of section 333(4) of the Companies Act 2006) provided in this Notice of Meeting (or in any related documents including the proxy form) to communicate with the Company for any purposes other than those expressly stated.
