  9. That, pursuant to section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 (the Act), the Directors be and are generally and unconditionally authorised to exercise all powers of the Company to allot Relevant Securities up to an aggregate nominal amount of £38,185 provided that (unless previously revoked, varied or renewed) these authorities shall expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Company after the passing of this resolution or on the date falling 18 months after the passing of this resolution (whichever is the earlier), save that, in each case, the Company may make an offer or agreement before the authority expires which would or might require Relevant Securities to be allotted after the authority expires and the Directors may allot Relevant Securities pursuant to any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired.

  2. to holders of other equity securities in the capital of the Company, as required by the rights of those securities or, subject to such rights, as the Directors otherwise consider necessary, but subject to such exclusions or other arrangements as the Directors may deem necessary or expedient in relation to

treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates or any legal or practical problems under the laws of any territory or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange; and

10.2 the allotment of equity securities otherwise than pursuant to paragraph 10.1 of this resolution) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £11,456, and (unless previously revoked, varied or renewed) this power shall expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company after the passing of this resolution or on the date falling 18 months after the passing of this resolution (whichever is the earlier), save that the Company may make an offer or agreement before this power expires which would or might require equity securities to be allotted for cash after this power expires and the Directors may allot equity securities for cash pursuant to any such offer or agreement as if this power had not expired.

NOTES RELATING TO ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Entitlement to attend and vote

1. The right to vote at the meeting is determined by reference to the register of members. Only those

shareholders registered in the register of members of the Company as at close of business on 22 March

2022 (or, if the meeting is adjourned, close of business on the date which is two working days before the date of the adjourned meeting) shall be entitled to attend and vote at the meeting in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to entries in the register of members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote (and the number of votes they may cast) at the meeting.

Proxies

  1. A member entitled to attend and vote at the meeting may appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of the member's rights to attend, speak and vote at the meeting. A proxy need not be a member of the Company but must attend the meeting for the member's vote to be counted. If a member appoints more than one proxy to attend the meeting, each proxy must be appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by the member. If a member wishes to appoint more than one proxy they may do so at www.signalshares.com. The appointment of a proxy will not preclude a shareholder from attending and voting in person at the meeting.
  2. You will not receive a proxy card in the post. You may cast your vote electronically at www.signalshares.com. On the home page search 'Actual Experience plc' and then log in or register using your Investor Code. To vote, click on the 'Vote Online Now' button. To be effective, the proxy vote must be submitted at www.signalshares.com so as to have been received by the Company's registrars not less than 48 hours (excluding weekends and public holidays) before the time appointed for the meeting or any adjournment of it. By registering on the Signal shares portal at www.signalshares.com, you can manage your shareholding, including:
  • cast your vote;
  • change your dividend payment instruction;
  • update your address; and
  • select your communication preference.
  1. Any power of attorney or other authority under which the proxy is submitted must be returned to the Company's Registrars, Link Group, PXS 1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL. If a paper form of proxy is requested from the Registrar, it should be completed and returned to Link Group, PXS 1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL to be received not less than 48 hours before the time of the meeting. If you need help with voting online, or require a paper proxy form, please contact our Registrar, Link Group, by email at enquiries@linkgroup.co.uk, or you may call Link on 03711 664 0391 if calling from the UK, or +44 (0) 371 664 0391 if calling from outside of the UK. Link's business hours are 9.00 am - 5.30 pm, Monday to Friday excluding public holidays in England and Wales.
  2. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies for the meeting (or any adjournment of it) through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so 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.
  3. 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 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 is 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 Link Group (ID RA10) no later than 11.00 am on 22 March 2022 (or, if the meeting is adjourned, no later than 48 hours before the time of any adjourned meeting). 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 Link Group 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

.

  1. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers, should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland 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(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 providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
  2. The Company may treat a CREST proxy instruction as invalid in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

Corporate representatives

  1. A shareholder which is a corporation may authorise one or more persons to act as its representative(s) at the meeting. Each such representative may exercise (on behalf of the corporation) the same powers as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual shareholder, provided that (where there is more than one representative and the vote is otherwise than on a show of hands) they do not do so in relation to the same shares.
  2. Shareholders are encouraged to submit questions, at least 48 hours prior to the AGM, relating to the business to be dealt with at the AGM to investors@actual-experience.com. The Company will endeavour to publish these questions and the Company's responses on the Company's website (www.actualexperience.com/about/investors) as soon as practicable after the AGM.

Biographical details of Directors

11. Biographical details of all those Directors who are offering themselves for reappointment at the meeting are set out on page 35 of the enclosed Annual Report and Accounts.
