The Group provides specialist lending and retail savings and is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority, part of the Bank of England, and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority. The Group reports under two segments, OneSavings Bank and Charter Court Financial Services.

Notice of Annual General Meeting on Thursday, 11 May 2023 at 11 am
at 90 Whitfield Street, Fitzrovia, London W1T 4EZ

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder 31 March 2023

2022 ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS AND 2023 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
I am pleased to inform you that the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022 and the Notice of the 2023 Annual General Meeting of OSB GROUP PLC (the Company) have now been published. A copy of the 2022 Annual Report and Accounts is enclosed with this document, together with a Form of Proxy to enable you to exercise your voting rights at the 2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM).

The AGM will be held at 90 Whitfield Street, Fitzrovia, London W1T 4EZ on Thursday, 11 May 2023 at 11 am.

The formal notice of the AGM is set out on pages 3 to 5 of this document and contains the proposed resolutions (the Resolutions). Explanatory notes to the business to be considered are set out from page 6 of this document.

You would have seen our declaration of a special dividend to be paid on the same date as the final dividend. The special dividend is not required to be included within this Notice of AGM.

VOTING AT THE AGM
I will, once again, be inviting you to vote on all Resolutions at the AGM by way of a poll rather than on a show of hands. Poll voting is in line with practice adopted by many UK public companies and provides a more transparent method of voting. It will result in a more accurate reflection of the views of shareholders by ensuring that every vote is recognised, including the votes of those shareholders who are unable to attend but who have appointed a proxy for the meeting. On a poll, each shareholder has one vote for every share held. I would encourage shareholders to exercise their right to vote; this will ensure that your vote will be counted if ultimately you (or any other proxy you might otherwise appoint) are not able to attend the meeting. Instructions for completing the Form of Proxy are outlined below. The valid appointment of a proxy does not prevent you from attending the AGM and voting in person.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN
Please complete and return the enclosed Form of Proxy so that it is received by the Company’s Registrar, Equiniti, by no later than 11 am on Tuesday, 9 May 2023. If you are a member of CREST, you may submit a proxy appointment electronically through the CREST voting service. Further details are set out in the Notes section on pages 10 to 11.

The results of voting on the Resolutions will be announced via a Regulatory Information Service and posted on the Company’s website following the conclusion of the AGM.

RECOMMENDATION
The Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of each of the Resolutions at the AGM. The Board considers that the Resolutions are in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders as a whole and will promote the success of the Company for their benefit. The Directors intend to vote in favour of the Resolutions in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings in the Company (save in respect of those Resolutions in which they are interested).

Should it become appropriate to revise the current arrangements for the AGM, any such changes will be notified to shareholders through our website (www.osb.co.uk) and, where appropriate, by an announcement made by the Company to a Regulatory Information Service.

Yours faithfully

David Weymouth
Chairman

This authority shall expire at the close of business on 30 June 2024 or, if earlier, at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2024, save that the Company shall be entitled to make offers or agreements before the expiry of such authority which would or might require shares to be allotted or Rights to be granted after such expiry and the Directors shall be entitled to allot shares and grant Rights pursuant to any such offer or agreement as if this authority had not expired; and all authorities vested in the Directors on the date of the notice of this meeting to allot shares and grant Rights that remain unexercised at the commencement of this meeting are hereby revoked.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

Information about the business to be considered at the AGM is set out below.

These explanatory notes should be read in conjunction with the 2022 Annual Report and Accounts. This Notice of AGM and the 2022 Annual Report and Accounts are available at www.osb.co.uk. For the purpose of this Notice, the issued share capital of the Company with voting rights on 23 March 2023, being the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this document, was 430,243,748 ordinary shares of £0.01 each.

RESOLUTION 1: 2022 Annual Report and Accounts (ordinary resolution)
The Directors of the Company present the Directors’ reports, the Auditor’s report and the audited financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 (the 2022 Annual Report and Accounts) to the AGM as required by the Companies Act 2006.

The Company proposes an ordinary resolution to receive the 2022 Annual Report and Accounts and, accordingly, shareholders have the opportunity to raise any questions on those documents under this Resolution.

RESOLUTION 2 : Directors’ Remuneration Report (excluding the Remuneration Policy) for the year ended 31 December 2022 (ordinary resolution)
In accordance with the Companies Act 2006, shareholders are invited to approve the Directors’ Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2022. This consists of the Annual Statement from the Chair of the Group Remuneration and People Committee and the Annual Report on Remuneration, which may be found on pages 142 to 156 of the 2022 Annual Report and Accounts. It details the Directors’ remuneration for the year ended 31 December 2022 and sets out the way in which the Company intends to implement the Directors’ Remuneration Policy in 2023. The Auditor has audited those parts of the Directors’ Remuneration Report required to be audited and its report can be found on pages 169 to 178 of the 2022 Annual Report and Accounts. For the purposes of this Resolution, the Directors’ Remuneration Report does not include the Directors’ Remuneration Policy. The vote on Resolution 2 is advisory only and the Directors’ entitlement to remuneration is not conditional on it being passed.

The Companies Act 2006 requires the Directors’ Remuneration Policy to be put to shareholders for approval annually unless the approved policy remains unchanged, in which case it need only be put to shareholders for approval at least every three years. The Company is not proposing any changes to the Directors’ Remuneration Policy that was approved at the Annual General Meeting in 2022.

RESOLUTION 3: Final dividend (ordinary resolution)
A final dividend of 21.8 pence per ordinary share has been recommended by the Board for the year ended 31 December 2022 and, if approved by shareholders, will be paid on 17 May 2023 to all shareholders on the register at the close of business on 24 March 2023.

RESOLUTIONS 4 (a) to (h): Election and re-election of Directors (ordinary resolutions)
Resolution 4(a) relates to the election of a Director. Kal Atwal is standing for election as an Independent Non-Executive Director having been appointed to the Board of Directors with effect from 7 February 2023.

Resolutions 4(b) to (h) relate to the retirement and re-election of the Company’s Directors. The Company’s articles of association require each Director to retire at the AGM. This is in line with best practice recommendations of the Financial Reporting Council’s UK Corporate Governance Code.

The Board has confirmed, following a performance review, that each of the Directors standing for re-election continues to be an effective member of the Board, to make a positive contribution and to demonstrate commitment to his or her role. The Board believes that the considerable and wide-ranging experience of the Directors will continue to be invaluable to the Company. The Board considers that Kal Atwal has and will continue to make a valuable contribution to the Board and that she has sufficient time to devote to the Company’s affairs. The appointment of Kal Atwal has been recommended by the Group Nomination and Governance Committee. The biographies of Directors can be found in the Appendix to this document and also on the Company’s website www.osb.co.uk.

RESOLUTIONS 5 AND 6: Re-appointment and remuneration of the Auditor (ordinary resolutions)
The Company is required to appoint an auditor at each general meeting at which accounts are laid before the Company, to hold office until the conclusion of the next such meeting. The Group Audit Committee has recommended to the Board, the re-appointment of Deloitte LLP as Auditor of the Company and, has confirmed to the Board that its recommendation is free from third party influence and that no restrictive contractual provisions have been imposed on the Company limiting the choice of auditor. Resolution 5 proposes the re-appointment of Deloitte LLP as the Auditor of the Company and Resolution 6 authorises the Group Audit Committee to agree the Auditor’s remuneration.

RESOLUTION 7: Authority to make political donations (ordinary resolution)
Section 368 of the Companies Act 2006 (the Act) prohibits companies from making political donations exceeding £5,000 in aggregate in any 12-month period to (i) political parties, (ii) other political organisations and (iii) independent election candidates, and from incurring political expenditure, without shareholder approval. In line with the Group’s policy, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries made any political donations nor incurred any political expenditure during 2022. It is not proposed or intended to alter this policy. However, some of the Group’s activities may potentially fall within the wide definitions of ‘political donation’ or ‘political expenditure’ in the Act and, without the necessary statutory authorisation, the Group’s ability to communicate its views effectively to political audiences and to relevant interest groups could be inhibited. Such activities may include briefings at receptions or conferences – when the Group seeks to communicate its views on issues vital to its business interests – including, for example, conferences of a party political nature or of special interest groups in specific areas.

Accordingly, the Company believes that the authority contained in this Resolution is necessary to allow it and its subsidiaries to fund activities which it is in the interests of shareholders that the Company should support. Such authority will enable the Company and its subsidiaries to be sure that they do not, because of any uncertainty as to the bodies or the activities covered by the Companies Act 2006, unintentionally commit a technical breach of the statutes. Any political donation made or expenditure incurred under authority of this Resolution will be disclosed in next year’s Annual Report and Accounts.

This authority replaces the similar authority given to the Directors at the Annual General Meeting in 2022 and will expire at close of business on 30 June 2024 or, if earlier, at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2024.

RESOLUTION 8: Directors’ authority to allot shares (ordinary resolution)
The Directors currently have a general authority to allot new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and to grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any securities into, shares. This authority is, however, due to expire at the AGM and the Board would like to renew it to provide the Directors with flexibility to allot new shares and grant rights up until the Company’s next AGM within the limits prescribed by The Investment Association.

The Investment Association’s guidelines on Directors’ authority to allot shares state that the Association’s members will regard as routine any proposal at a general meeting to seek a general authority to allot an amount up to two-thirds of the existing share capital, provided that any amount in excess of one-third of the existing share capital is applied to a fully pre-emptive offer (including an offer by way of a rights issue or open offer) only. Accordingly, if passed, this resolution will authorise the Directors to allot (or grant rights over) new shares in the Company: (i) under an open offer or in other situations (including a rights issue) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £1,434,146.62 (representing approximately one-third of the Company’s issued ordinary share capital); and (ii) under a fully pre-emptive offer (including an offer by way of a rights issue or open offer) only, up to a further aggregate nominal amount of £1,434,146.62 (representing approximately one-third of the Company’s issued ordinary share capital). In each case, the reference to the Company’s issued ordinary share capital is to the issued ordinary share capital as at 23 March 2023 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document).

If passed, this authority will expire at the close of business on 30 June 2024 or, if earlier, at the conclusion of the AGM to be held in 2024.
The Directors have no present intention of exercising this authority, however, the Board considers it prudent to maintain the flexibility that it provides to enable the Directors to respond to any appropriate opportunities that may arise. The Company did not hold any shares in treasury as at 23 March 2023.

RESOLUTION 9: Directors’ authority to allot shares in relation to the issue of Regulatory Capital Convertible Instruments (ordinary resolution)
This Resolution renews the Directors’ authority to allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into ordinary shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of £516,292.50, in connection with the issue of ‘Regulatory Capital Convertible Instruments’. Regulatory Capital Convertible Instruments are any securities to be issued by the Company or any member of the Group, or by a Company outside of the Group with the consent of the Company or a member of the Group and which are intended on issue to form all or part of a type or class of securities, the terms of which are eligible to meet any Regulatory Capital Requirements and which are:

convertible into or exchangeable for ordinary shares of the Company; or
issued together with share warrants relating to ordinary shares of the Company;

and in each case, which grant to, or require, the holder of such security and/or its nominee a right or obligation (as applicable) to subscribe for such ordinary shares following a specified event relating to an actual or prospective adverse change in the capital position or viability of the Company, any member of the Group or the Group as a whole or any other event specified in the Regulatory Capital Requirements and otherwise on such terms as may be determined by the Directors of the Company or a Committee thereof upon issue.

The Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company to have the flexibility to issue Regulatory Capital Convertible Instruments at any time and from time to time. The authority sought in this Resolution will be used as considered desirable to comply with or maintain compliance with such Regulatory Capital Requirements or targets applicable to the Company. Regulatory Capital Requirements are specified by the Prudential Regulation Authority or such other authority having primary supervisory authority with respect to the Company from time to time in relation to the margin of solvency, capital resources, capital, contingent capital or buffer capital of the Company, a member of the Group or the Group taken as a whole.

The Company intends to seek to renew authority for the issuance of such Regulatory Capital Convertible Instruments on an annual basis.

The amount of this authority is, in aggregate, equivalent to approximately 12 per cent of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 23 March 2023 (being the latest practicable date before the publication of this document). No ordinary shares were held in treasury as at that date.

Resolutions 9 and 12 are intended to provide the Directors with the flexibility to authorise the issue of Regulatory Capital Convertible Instruments which contain contractual debt to equity conversion features. The Resolutions are not intended to provide authority for any future UK statutory conversion requirements as may become part of UK national law in the future, for which such authority would not be required.

The authority sought in Resolution 9 is separate and distinct from the authority sought in Resolution 8 which is the usual authority sought on an annual basis in line with guidance issued by The Investment Association. The authority sought in Resolution 9 will expire at the close of business on 30 June 2024 or, if earlier, at the conclusion of the AGM to be held in 2024.

RESOLUTIONS 10 and 11: Disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights (special resolutions)
Resolutions 10 and 11 are proposed as special resolutions which, if passed by shareholders, will enable the Directors to allot ordinary shares in the Company, and/or to sell any shares out of treasury, for cash, without first offering those shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings.

In November 2022, the Pre-Emption Group issued a revised Statement of Principles (the Revised Statement of Principles) which permits companies to seek authorities to issue equity securities for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis representing: (i) up to 10 per cent of a company’s issued ordinary share capital for use on an unrestricted basis (plus a further authority of up to 2 per cent of a company’s issued ordinary share capital to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer of the kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of Section 2B of the Revised Statement of Principles); and (ii) up to an additional 10 per cent of a company’s issued ordinary share capital for use in connection with an acquisition or a specified capital investment, which is announced contemporaneously with the issue, or that has taken place in the preceding 12 month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the issue (plus a further authority of up to 2 per cent of a company’s issued ordinary share capital to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer of the kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of Section 2B of the Revised Statement of Principles).

Having considered the Revised Statement of Principles, the Board believes that the limits in the Company’s previous pre-emption disapplication authorities provide the Company with sufficient flexibility at this time. The Board will keep this matter under review and will consider whether to seek increased authorities up to the revised limits detailed in the Revised Statement of Principles in future years.

Accordingly, the power set out in Resolution 10 would be limited to:

allotments or sales in connection with pre-emptive offers and offers to holders of other equity securities if required by the rights of those securities, or as the Board otherwise considers necessary; and
otherwise up to an aggregate nominal amount of £215,121.87 (representing 21,512,187 ordinary shares and 5 per cent of the Company’s issued ordinary share capital as at 23 March 2023 (being the latest practicable date before the publication of this document).

In addition, Resolution 11 is intended to give the Company flexibility to make non-pre-emptive issues of ordinary shares in connection with acquisitions and other capital investments as contemplated by the Revised Statement of Principles. The power under Resolution 11 is in addition to that proposed by Resolution 10 and would be limited to allotments or sales of up to aggregate nominal amount £215,121.87 (representing 21,512,187 ordinary shares and 5 per cent of the Company’s issued ordinary share capital as at 23 March 2023 (being the latest practicable date before the publication of this document).

If the Company makes a non-pre-emptive issue of ordinary shares for cash using the power conferred by Resolution 10 or Resolution 11 described above, the Directors confirm their intention to comply with the shareholder protections contained in Part 2B of the Revised Statement of Principles regarding how such an issue should be carried out.

The authorities sought under Resolutions 10 and 11 will expire at close of business on 30 June 2024 or, if earlier, at the conclusion of the AGM to be held in 2024.

RESOLUTION 12: Disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights in relation to the issue of Regulatory Capital Convertible Instruments (special resolution)
Resolution 9 renews the Directors’ authority to allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into ordinary shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of £516,292.50 specifically in connection with the issue of Regulatory Capital Convertible Instruments. Resolution 12 proposes that the Directors be empowered to allot equity securities pursuant to that authority for cash, without first offering those equity securities to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings. £516,292.50 is equivalent to approximately 12 per cent of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 23 March 2023 (being the latest practicable date before the publication of this document).

Renewing this Resolution will permit the Company the flexibility necessary to allot equity securities pursuant to any proposal to issue Regulatory Capital Convertible Instruments and, by virtue of such disapplication, without the need to comply with the pre-emption requirements of the UK statutory regime. Together with Resolution 9, Resolution 12 is intended to provide the Directors with the flexibility to issue Regulatory Capital Convertible Instruments which may convert into ordinary shares.

Conditional upon the passing of Resolutions 9 and 12, the Directors would not expect to make use of Resolutions 8 and 10 to issue Regulatory Capital Convertible Instruments, however, they may do so, to the extent permissible, if deemed appropriate in light of capital requirements, market conditions and/or high demand. Any exercise of the authorities in Resolutions 8 and 10 (if passed) would be separate from, and in addition to, the exercise of powers under Resolutions 9 and 12 and would have the effect of diluting the interests of ordinary shareholders.

RESOLUTION 13: Authority to purchase own shares (special resolution)
The authority limits the maximum number of shares that could be purchased to 43,024,375 (representing approximately 10 per cent of the Company’s issued ordinary share capital as at 23 March 2023) and sets minimum and maximum prices at which shares may be purchased.

This authority replaces the similar authority given to the Directors at the Annual General Meeting in 2022 and will expire at the close of business on 30 June 2024 or, if earlier, at the conclusion of the AGM to be held in 2024. A listed company purchasing its own shares may hold those shares in treasury and make them available for re-sale as an alternative to cancelling them. Accordingly, if this Resolution is passed, the Company will have the option of holding, as treasury shares, any of its own shares that it purchases pursuant to the authority conferred.

This would give the Company the ability to sell treasury shares quickly and cost-effectively and provide the Company with additional flexibility in the management of its capital base. No dividends are paid and no voting rights are attached to shares held in treasury. The Company did not hold any shares in treasury as at 23 March 2023 (being the latest practicable date before the publication of this document). As at that date, there were 2,137,904 options to subscribe for ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, representing 0.50 per cent of the Company’s issued ordinary share capital. If the full authority conferred by this Resolution were to be exercised in full, these options would represent 0.55 per cent of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company.

On 16 March 2023, the Company announced its intention to commence an ordinary share repurchase programme pursuant to the authority granted at last year’s AGM, in order to return up to £150 million to shareholders (the Share Repurchase Programme). The Share Repurchase Programme will help to deliver on the Company’s stated intention to deliver attractive and sustainable returns to shareholders across the cycle. It is the Company’s present intention for any repurchased ordinary shares to be cancelled and the Share Repurchase Programme is expected to complete by no later than 15 March 2024.

The Directors regard having the flexibility to repurchase issued shares in suitable circumstances as an important part of the financial management of the Company. The Directors may consider exercising the authority to purchase the Company’s ordinary shares if market conditions and the Company’s financial position make this possible but will keep the matter under review. Shares would only be purchased if the Directors believed that to do so would result in an improvement in earnings per share and would be in the interests of shareholders generally. Any purchases of ordinary shares would be by means of market purchases on a recognised investment exchange and purchased shares would be cancelled (in which case the number of shares in issue would thereby be reduced) or, alternatively, held in treasury, depending on which course of action is considered by the Directors to be in the best interests of the shareholders at that time.

RESOLUTION 14: Notice of general meetings (special resolution)
The statutory notice period required for general meetings of the Company is at least 21 clear days unless shareholders approve a shorter notice period, which cannot, however, be less than 14 clear days (AGMs will continue to be held on at least 21 clear days’ notice). At last year’s AGM, shareholders passed a resolution enabling the Company to call general meetings, other than an AGM, on at least 14 clear days’ notice. This approval must be renewed at each AGM, so, in order to preserve this ability, Resolution 14 seeks such approval.

It is intended that the shorter notice period would not be used as a matter of routine for such meetings but only where the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be in the interests of shareholders as a whole. If given, the approval will be effective until the Company’s next AGM, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed.

NOTES

1. The Company strongly encourages all shareholders to submit a proxy vote in advance of the AGM, appointing the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy rather than a named person. These notes to the Notice should be read in this context.

2. Only persons entered on the Register of Members of the Company at 6.30 pm on Tuesday, 9 May 2023 (or, if the AGM is adjourned, at 6.30 pm on the date which is two business days prior to the adjourned meeting) shall be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM or
adjourned meeting. Changes to entries on the Register of Members after this time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of persons to attend or vote (and the number of votes they may cast) at the AGM or adjourned meeting.

3. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the AGM may appoint another person as her/his proxy to exercise all or any of her/his rights to attend, speak and vote at the AGM. A shareholder can appoint more than one proxy in relation to the AGM, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that shareholder.

4. A proxy does not need to be a shareholder of the Company but must attend the AGM to represent you. Your proxy could be the Chairman or another person who has agreed to attend to represent you. If you wish for a proxy to make any comments on your behalf at the AGM, you will need to appoint someone other than the Chairman of the meeting and give them the relevant instructions directly. Those submitting a Form of Proxy are strongly encouraged to appoint the Chairman of the meeting rather than a named person as their proxy. This will ensure that your vote will be counted even if ultimately you (or any other proxy you might otherwise appoint) are not able to attend the meeting. The valid appointment of a proxy does not prevent you from attending the AGM and voting in person.

5. A shareholder who wishes to appoint a proxy should complete the Form of Proxy which accompanies this notice and includes full details of how to appoint a proxy. If you do not have a Form of Proxy and believe that you should have one, or if you require additional Forms of Proxy, please contact Equiniti’s helpline on 0371 384 2701 (+44 (0) 371 384 2701 if calling from overseas). Lines are open between 8.30 am and 5.30 pm Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays in England and Wales). Shareholders who hold their shares in uncertificated form may use ‘the CREST voting service’ to appoint a proxy electronically, as explained below.

6. In order to be valid, a proxy appointment must be returned (together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is executed or a copy of the authority certified in ink by a bank, a stockbroker or a solicitor) by one of the following methods:

– in hard copy form by post, by courier or by hand to the Company’s registrar at the address shown on the Form of Proxy; or in the case of CREST members, by utilising the CREST voting service in accordance with the procedures set out in note 9 below.

The appointment of a proxy in each case must formally be received by the Company’s registrar no later than 11 am on Tuesday, 9 May 2023.

You may also appoint your proxy electronically online at www.sharevote.co.uk where full instructions on the procedure are given. The Voting ID, Task ID and Shareholder Reference Number printed on the Form of Proxy will be required to use this electronic proxy appointment system. Alternatively, shareholders who have already registered with Equiniti Registrars’ online portfolio service, Shareview, can appoint their proxy electronically by logging on to their portfolio at www.shareview.co.uk using their user ID and password. Once logged in, click ‘view’ on the ‘My Investments’ page. Click on the link to vote and follow the on screen instructions.

7. To change your proxy instructions you may return a new proxy appointment using the methods set out above. Where you have appointed a proxy using the hard copy Form of Proxy and would like to change the instructions using another hard copy Form of Proxy, please contact Equiniti at Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 8LU. The deadline for receipt of proxy appointments (see above) also applies in relation to amended instructions. Any attempt to terminate or amend a proxy appointment received after the relevant deadline will be disregarded. Where two or more valid but differing appointments of proxy are delivered or (in the case of appointments in electronic form) received in respect of the same share for use at the same meeting, the one which is last delivered or, as the case may be, received as aforesaid (regardless of its date, its date of sending or the date of its execution) shall be treated as replacing and revoking the other or others as regards that share. If the Company is unable to determine either which is last sent or which is last delivered or received, none of them shall be treated as valid in respect of the relevant share(s).

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).

8. A copy of this notice has been sent for information only, to Nominated Persons (that is, a person who has been nominated by a shareholder to enjoy information rights under section 146 of the Companies Act 2006). The rights to appoint a proxy cannot be exercised by a Nominated Person; they can only be exercised by a shareholder. However, a Nominated Person may have a right under an agreement with the shareholder by whom she or he was nominated to be appointed as a proxy for the AGM or to have someone else so appointed. If a Nominated Person does not have such a right or does not wish to exercise it, she or he may have a right under such an agreement to give instructions to the shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights.

9. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by utilising the procedures described in the CREST Manual, which can be viewed at www.euroclear.com. 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 made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear’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 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 number RA19) by 11 am on Tuesday, 9 May 2023 (the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified in this notice). 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 issuer’s agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

10. 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 his 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.

11. Voting on all Resolutions will be conducted by way of a poll rather than a show of hands. This is a more transparent method of voting as shareholders’ votes (including the votes of those shareholders who are unable to attend but who have appointed a proxy for the meeting) are to be counted according to the number of shares held. As soon as practicable, following the AGM, the results of the voting will be announced via a Regulatory Information Service and also placed on the Company’s website: osb.co.uk/investors/shareholder-services/.

12. Please note that the Company takes all reasonable precautions to ensure that no viruses are present in any electronic communication it sends out but the Company cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage arising from the opening or use of any email or attachments from the Company and recommends that shareholders subject all messages to virus checking procedures prior to use. Any electronic communication received by the Company, including the lodgment of an electronic proxy form, that is found to contain any virus will not be accepted.

13. A shareholder of the Company, that is a corporation, may authorise a person or persons to act as its representative(s) at the AGM. In accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006, each such representative may exercise (on behalf of the corporation) the same powers as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual shareholder of the Company, provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares.

14. Shareholders satisfying the thresholds in section 527 of the Companies Act 2006 can require the Company to publish a statement on its website setting out any matter relating to the audit of the Company’s accounts (including the Auditor’s report and the conduct of the audit) that are to be laid before the AGM and that the shareholders propose to raise at the AGM. The Company may not require the shareholders requesting the publication to pay its expenses. Any statement placed on the website must also be sent to the Company’s Auditor no later than the time it makes its statement available on the website. The business which may be dealt with at the AGM includes any statement that the Company has been required to publish on its website.

15. Under section 319A of the Companies Act 2006, the Company must, subject to limited exceptions, answer any question relating to the business being dealt with at the AGM which is put by a shareholder attending the AGM. Information relating to the AGM which the Company is required by the Companies Act 2006 to publish on a website in advance of the meeting may be viewed at osb.co.uk/investors/ shareholder-services/. You may not use any electronic address provided in this notice to communicate with the Company for any purposes other than those expressly stated.

16. Shareholders have the right to ask questions in relation to the business of the AGM but no answer need be given if (a) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the AGM or involve the disclosure of confidential information, (b) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question, or (c) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the AGM that the question be answered. Shareholders wishing to raise any questions relating to the business of the AGM may do so by submitting them to the Company Secretariat ahead of the AGM at company.secretariat@osb.co.uk. You may submit questions until 11 am on Tuesday, 9 May 2023 and the Company will endeavour to publish and maintain an appropriate summary of responses on the ‘AGM Information’ page of its website in advance of the AGM.

17. Shareholders have the right to request, in accordance with section 360BA of the Companies Act 2006, information to enable them to determine that their vote on a poll was validly recorded and counted. Shareholders who wish to do so should contact Equiniti by phone on 0371 384 2701 (+44 (0) 371 384 2701 if calling from overseas) or by post at Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 8LU, in each case no later than 30 days following the date of this year’s AGM.

18. As at 23 March 2023 (being the latest practicable date before the publication of this document), the Company’s issued share capital consisted of 430,243,748 ordinary shares, carrying one vote each. The Company did not hold any shares in treasury at that date. Therefore, as at 23 March 2023 the total voting rights in the Company were 430,243,748.

19. Copies of:

this Notice;
the Form of Proxy;
the Directors letters of appointment and service agreements; and
the Company’s Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022,

are available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours from the date of this Notice until the date of the AGM (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays) and will be available for inspection at the place of the AGM for at least 15 minutes prior to and after the AGM.

20. The Company may process personal data of attendees at the AGM. This may include webcasts, photos, recording audio and video links, as well as other forms of personal data. The Company shall process such personal data in accordance with its privacy policy, which can be found at https://www.osb.co.uk/privacy-policy/
