Resolutions

Resolutions 1 to 6 (inclusive) will be proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, at least fifty per cent. of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolutions.

Resolutions 1 to 5 (inclusive) relate to (i) the receipt of the Company's annual accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 together with the Directors' Reports, and the Auditors' Report on those accounts; (ii) the approval of the Remuneration Committee Report; (iii) the appointment of Barnes Roffe LLP as auditors of the Company and the authorisation of the directors of the Company to determine the remuneration of the auditors; and (iv) the re-election of Andy Parker and Matthew Riley as directors who retires by rotation.

Resolution 6 relates to the authorisation for the directors to allot equity securities up to a maximum nominal value of £80,743, this being an amount equal to approximately one third of the aggregate nominal value of the ordinary share capital of the Company in issue on 8 May 2024, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of the Notice. This authority will expire on the earlier of 15 months after the passing of the resolution or on the conclusion of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2025.

Resolutions 7 and 8 deal with the disapplication of shareholder statutory pre-emption rights in order to permit the directors to allot equity securities of up to 2,422,275 shares representing up to approximately 10 per cent. of the issued share capital as at 8 May 2024 for cash without first having to offer them to the Company's existing shareholders and to make market purchases of up to 2,422,275 shares representing approximately 10% of the issued share capital as at 8 May 2024. These authorities will expire on the earlier of 15 months after the passing of this resolution or on the conclusion of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2025.

Recommendation

The directors consider the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and accordingly unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of those resolutions.

Yours faithfully

Andy Parker

Notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting:

1. Entitlement to vote

Pursuant to Part 13 of the Companies Act 2006 and to Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 (as amended), only those members registered on the Company's register of members at 6.00pm on 24 June 2024; or, if this Annual General Meeting is adjourned, at the close of business on the day 48 hours prior to the adjourned meeting, shall be entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting.

2. Appointment of proxies

If you are a member of the Company at the time set out in note 1 above, you are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at the Annual General Meeting and you should have received a proxy form with this notice of meeting.

You can only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes and the notes to the proxy form. A proxy does not need to be a member of the Company but must attend the Annual General Meeting to represent you. Details of how to appoint the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting or another person as your proxy using the proxy form are set out in the notes to the proxy form. If you wish your proxy to speak on your behalf at the Annual General Meeting you will need to appoint your own choice of proxy (not the Chairman) and give your instructions directly to them.

You may appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. You may not appoint more than one proxy to exercise rights attached to more than one share. To appoint more than one proxy please refer to the notes on the Form of Proxy.

A vote withheld is not a vote in law, which means that the vote will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against the resolution. If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) at his or her discretion, your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the Annual General Meeting.

3. Appointment of proxy using hard copy proxy form

The notes to the proxy form explain how to direct your proxy how to vote on each resolution or withhold their vote. To appoint a proxy using the proxy form, the form must be:

  • completed and signed;
  • sent or delivered to Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgewater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY; and
  • received by Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgewater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY no later than 10.00a.m. on 24 June 2024.

In the case of a member which is a company, the proxy form must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or an attorney for the company.

Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the proxy form.

7

4. Appointment of proxy by joint members

In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).

5. Changing proxy instructions

To change your proxy instructions simply submit a new proxy appointment using the methods set out above. Note that the cut-off time for receipt of proxy appointments (see note 3 above) also apply in relation to amended instructions; any amended proxy appointment received after the relevant cutoff time will be disregarded.

Where you have appointed a proxy using the hard-copy proxy form and would like to change the instructions using another hard-copy proxy form, please contact Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgewater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY.

If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.

6. Termination of proxy appointments

In order to revoke a proxy instruction, you will need to inform the Company using the following method:

By sending a signed hard copy notice clearly stating your intention to revoke your proxy appointment to Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgewater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY. In the case of a member which is a company, the revocation notice must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or an attorney for the company. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the revocation notice is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the revocation notice.

The revocation notice must be received by Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgewater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY no later than 10.00 a.m. on 24 June 2024.

If you attempt to revoke your proxy appointment but the revocation is received after the time specified then, subject to the paragraph directly below, your proxy appointment will remain valid.

Appointment of a proxy does not preclude you from attending the Annual General Meeting and voting in person. If you have appointed a proxy and attend the Annual General Meeting in person, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.

7. Submission of proxy electronically

CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST proxy appointment service may do so for the General Meeting (and any adjournment thereof) by following theprocedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members (and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider) should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider, who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

8

In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made by means of CREST 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 relates to the appointment of a proxy, the revocation of a proxy appointment 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 the Issuers Agent (ID 3RA50) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified in note 3 above. 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 the Issuers 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, the 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, to procure that his or her CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted bymeans of the CREST system byany particulartime. 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 (available at www.euroclear.com/CREST)concerning practical limitation of the CREST system andtimings.

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 (as amended).

8. Companies and other organisations

A member that is a company or other organisation not having a physical presence cannot attend in person but can appoint someone to represent it. This can be done in one of two ways: either by the appointment of a proxy (described in notes 2 to 4 above) or of a corporate representative. Members considering the appointment of a corporate representative should check their own legal position, the Company's Articles of Association and the relevant provision of the Companies Act 2006.

9. Right to ask questions

(Members attending the AGM have the right to ask, and, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act 2006, the Company must cause to be answered, any questions relating to the business being dealt with at the AGM.

10. Shares and voting rights

As at the close of business on 8 May 2024 (being the latest practicable date before publication of this notice), the Company's issued share capital comprised 24,222,744 ordinary shares of 1 penny each. Each ordinary share carries the right to one vote at a general meeting of the Company. No ordinary shares were held in treasury and accordingly the total number of voting rights in the Company as at the close of business on 8 May 2024 is 24,222,744.
