Explanatory notes to the Form of Proxy

1. CREST members should please refer to the notice of meeting for instructions regarding CREST electronic proxy appointment services.
2. If you wish to register your proxy appointment in paper form, please comply with the following notes:
3. 1. You may, if you wish, delete the words "Chairman of the meeting" and insert the name of a proxy of your choice in the box, who need not be a member but who must attend the meeting to represent you. Please initial that alteration.
   2. To appoint more than one proxy, additional forms of proxy may be obtained from our website at nextplc.co.uk, by contacting our Registrar, Equiniti, on [phone] (if calling from outside the UK, please ensure the country code is used) or you may copy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which the proxy is authorised to act as your proxy. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope to FREEPOST RTHJ-CLL-KBKU, Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing BN99 8LU.
   3. The form of proxy and, if relevant, the power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed, or a certified copy of that power or authority, must be received by our Registrar, Equiniti, no later than 9.30 am on Tuesday 14 May 2024 (or 48 hours before any adjourned meeting).
   4. If the member is a corporation, the form of proxy must be executed either under seal or in any other manner having the same effect or under the hand of an officer or the person duly authorised in writing stating their capacity (e.g. director, secretary, duly authorised attorney).
   5. For joint holders, the signature of any one of them will suffice. The instructions of the senior joint holder will be accepted to the exclusion of those of the other joint holders and for this purpose seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members for the joint holding.
   6. The address shown overleaf is that appearing in the register of members and the form of proxy and attendance card are not transferable.
   7. Should you prefer to use an envelope, you may return the form of proxy in an envelope to FREEPOST RTHJ-CLL-KBKU, Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing BN99 8LU.
4. To be entitled to vote (and for the purpose of determining the number of votes that may be cast), shareholders' names must be entered in the register of members at 6.30 pm on Tuesday 14 May 2024 (or at 6.30 pm two business days before any adjourned meeting).
5. The "Vote Withheld" option is provided to enable you to instruct the proxy not to vote on any particular resolution. A "Vote Withheld" is not a vote and will not, therefore, be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against a resolution.
6. Full details of the resolutions to be proposed at the meeting, with explanatory notes, are set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

1 Lines are open 8.30 am to 5.30 pm Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays in England and Wales).
