Resolution 1 - Financial statements, annual report and affairs of the Company

Resolution 1 is asking members to receive and consider the financial statements and the reports of the Directors and Auditors for the year ended 31 December 2023 and a review of the affairs of the Company. Resolution 1 is an advisory resolution and is not binding on the Company.

Resolutions 2 and 3 - Directors' Remuneration Report and Remuneration Policy

Shareholders will be invited to receive and consider the Directors' Remuneration Report and separately the proposed Directors' Remuneration Policy.

Resolution 2 is to receive and consider the Directors' Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2023. The Directors' Remuneration Report can be found on pages 74 to 97 of the Annual Report. It provides details of Directors' remuneration for the year ended 31 December 2023 and sets out the alignment between pay, performance and strategy. Resolution 2 is an advisory resolution and is not binding on the Company.

In accordance with the EU Shareholder Rights Directive, Resolution 3 is asking shareholders to receive and consider the Directors' Remuneration Policy, which is set out in full in the Directors' Remuneration Report on pages 79 to 82 of the Annual Report. Resolution 3 is an advisory resolution and is not binding on the Company.

In structuring the Policy, the Remuneration Committee carried out an extensive review of the Group's remuneration arrangements during 2023 and early 2024, before engaging with shareholders to discuss the changes and review feedback. Full details of this review and engagement are set out in the Directors' Remuneration Report on pages 74 to 97 of the Annual Report.

Resolution 4 - Dividend

Resolution 4 relates to the recommendation by the Board for the payment of a final dividend of 3.2 cent per ordinary share in respect of the year ended 31 December 2023. As previously announced by the Company, if approved by the meeting, the final dividend will be paid on 17 May 2024 to the holders of ordinary shares on the register at 5:00 p.m. on 26 April 2024. Irish dividend withholding tax will be deducted where appropriate and the receipt of the proposed final dividend should be treated as income for Irish tax purposes and taxed accordingly.

Resolution 5 - Re-election of Directors

Resolution 5 deals with the re-appointment of Directors. All directors stand for annual election by shareholders. In line with this, all of our Directors will be retiring at this year's AGM and, with the exception of Shane Doherty, will stand for re-election at the AGM.

Mr. Doherty announced his intention to step down as Chief Financial Officer in October 2023 with an agreement to remain on the Board for an interim period to support the orderly transition to his successor. Accordingly, Mr. Doherty will not seek re-election at the AGM. As previously announced,

Mr. Richard Ball will join the Company as Chief Financial Officer on 10 April 2024 and will seek election as a director of the Company at the AGM.

The Directors' biographies, together with details of their skills and experiences are set out on pages 55 and 56 of our 2023 Annual Report. In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, each of the current Directors will retire from office and will offer themselves for re-appointment.

The contribution that each of the Directors brings to the Board and the long-term success of the Company is also described in detail in the Annual Report. The re-appointment of each Director will be considered as a separate ordinary resolution.

On an annual basis, the Board, led by the Nomination Committee, reviews the performance of Directors and is satisfied that all Directors proposed for re-appointment continue to perform effectively, demonstrate commitment to their respective roles and support the long-term success of the Company.

Resolution 6 - Remuneration of the Auditors

Resolution 6 authorises the Directors to determine the remuneration of the Company's auditors.

Resolution 7 - Board authority to allot shares

Resolution 7 seeks to renew the authority of the Directors to allot shares. The Investment Association generally supports resolutions seeking authority to allot up to 66.66% of a company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) of which any allotment in excess of 33.33% of the issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) is applied to allot shares pursuant to a pre-emptive offer.

Accordingly, Resolution 7 authorises the Directors to allot shares up to an aggregate nominal value of €429,768 (representing approximately 66.66% of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) as at 5:00 p.m. on 20 March 2024) of which any allotment in excess of €214,884 (representing 33.33% of the issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 5:00 p.m. on 20 March 2024) may be applied to allot shares pursuant to a pre-emptive offer.

The Directors have no current intention of exercising this authority. If adopted, this authority will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or at midnight on the date which is 15 months after the passing of the resolution (whichever is earlier) unless previously varied, revoked or renewed. This resolution is a common one at annual general meetings of companies listed on the main markets of Euronext Dublin and/or the London Stock Exchange and is in line with institutional shareholder guidance.

Resolutions 8 and 9 - Disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights in certain circumstances

The Companies Act 2014 sets out pre-emption rights for members where new equity securities (essentially ordinary shares in the case of the Company) are to be allotted for cash. The Companies Act 2014 also provides for these pre-emption rights to be modified or disapplied. The London based Pre-Emption Group has issued guidelines for such modifications or disapplications. These guidelines were revised in March 2015, May 2016, and more recently in November 2022. In the November 2022 version of the guidelines, the guideline threshold for the annual disapplication of pre-emption rights authorities was increased from 10% to 20% of a company's issued share capital, with some additional flexibility for follow-on offers of up to a maximum of an additional 4% of a company's issued share capital in specified circumstances. However, Resolutions 8 and 9 seek authority for the disapplication of pre-emption rights only up to a maximum of 10% of the Company's issued share capital consistent with the 2015 and 2016 guideline thresholds. The Board will keep this under review in future years.

Resolution 8 is asking members to renew the Directors' authority to disapply the strict statutory pre-emption provisions in certain circumstances, being: (a) rights issues, open offers or other pre-emptive offers and subject thereto by way of placing or otherwise of any shares not taken up in such issue or offer; and/or (b) for allotments (other than by way of pre-emptive offers) up to an aggregate nominal value of €32,265 which represents approximately 5% of the total nominal value of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 5:00 p.m.

Chairman's Letter to Shareholders continued

on 20 March 2024.

Furthermore, Resolution 9 is asking members to authorise the Directors to disapply the strict statutory pre-emption provisions in additional circumstances, being for allotments (other than by way of pre-emptive offers) up to an additional aggregate nominal value of €32,265 which represents a further 5% of the total nominal value of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 5:00 p.m. on 20 March 2024. In accordance with the Pre-Emption Principles, the Board confirms in relation to Resolution 9 that it intends that any use of the authority in excess of 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) would be only in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment. For this purpose and reflecting the Pre-Emption Principles, an acquisition or specified capital investment means one that is announced contemporaneously with the issue of share capital, or that has taken place in the preceding six-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the issue.

If adopted, the authorities granted pursuant to Resolutions 8 and 9 will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or at midnight on the date which is 15 months after the passing of the resolution (whichever is earlier) unless previously varied, revoked or renewed. These resolutions are common at annual general meetings of companies listed on the main markets of Euronext Dublin and/or the London Stock Exchange and are in line with institutional shareholder guidance, and in particular with the Pre-Emption Principles.

Resolution 10 - Authority to make market purchases

Resolution 10 is asking members to give the Company (and its subsidiaries) the authority to make market purchases and overseas market purchases provided that the maximum number of ordinary shares authorised to be acquired shall not exceed 15% of the issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) of the Company as at the date of the passing of this Resolution 10. If adopted, this authority will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or at midnight on the date which is 15 months after the passing of the resolution (whichever is earlier) unless previously varied, revoked or renewed.

The Company is currently, via its brokers, conducting a buyback programme pursuant to the repurchase authority granted at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 11 May 2023. If adopted, the buyback programme will continue in accordance with its terms under the repurchase authority granted pursuant to this Resolution 10.

In addition, this authority and flexibility is being sought as it is common practice for companies listed on the main market of Euronext Dublin and/ or the London Stock Exchange. Furthermore, such purchases would be made only at price levels which the Directors considered to be in the best interests of the members generally, after taking into account the Company's overall financial position.

In addition, the authority being sought from members will provide that the minimum price (excluding expenses) which may be paid for such ordinary shares shall be an amount not less than the nominal value of the ordinary shares and the maximum price will be the higher of:

(a) 5% above the average of the closing prices of the Company's ordinary shares taken from the main market of Euronext Dublin and/or the

London Stock Exchange (as the case may be depending on where the purchase is carried out) in each case for the five business days prior to the day the purchase is made (the "Market Purchase Appropriate Price") or if on any such business day there shall be no dealing of ordinary shares on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out or a closing price is not otherwise available, the Market Purchase Appropriate Price shall be determined by such other method as the Directors shall determine, in their sole discretion, to be fair and reasonable; and

(b)the amount stipulated by Article 3(2) of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 relating to such regulatory technical standards for the conditions applicable to buy-backs and stabilisation (being the value of such an ordinary share calculated on the basis of the higher of the price quoted for: (i) the last independent trade; and (ii) the highest current independent purchase bid for any number of such ordinary shares on the trading venue where the purchase pursuant to the authority conferred by the resolution will be carried out).

Resolution 11 - Authority to re-issue treasury shares

Resolution 11 is asking members to give the Company the authority to re-allot treasury shares pursuant to Section 1078 of the Companies Act 2014 and the re-allotment price range at which treasury shares may be re-allotted is as follows:

(a)the maximum price at which a treasury share may be re-allotted off-market shall be an amount equal to 120% of the Treasury Share Appropriate Price; and

(b) the minimum price at which a treasury share may be re-allotted off-market shall be an amount equal to 95% of the Treasury Share Appropriate Price (provided always that no treasury share shall be re-allotted at a price lower than its nominal value).

If adopted, this authority will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or at midnight on the date which is 15 months after the passing of the resolution (whichever is earlier), unless previously varied, revoked or renewed. (For the purpose of the resolution, Treasury Share Appropriate Price means the lower of the average of the closing prices of the Company's ordinary shares taken from the main market of Euronext Dublin and the average of the closing prices of the Company's ordinary shares taken from the main market of the London Stock Exchange in each case for the five business days (in Dublin and London, respectively, as the case may be) prior to the day the re-allotment is made (or if on any business day there shall be no dealing of ordinary shares on the trading venue or a closing price is not otherwise available, the Treasury Share

Appropriate Price shall be determined by such other method as the Directors shall determine, in their sole discretion, to be fair and reasonable)).

Resolution 12 - Notice of general meetings

Resolution 12 allows the Directors to call a general meeting (other than an annual general meeting) on 14 clear days' notice where the purpose of the meeting is solely to consider one or more ordinary resolutions. Section 1102 of the Companies Act 2014 envisages that on an annual basis a company may pass a resolution such as this Resolution 12 to preserve its flexibility to call certain extraordinary general meetings, where appropriate, using the shorter notice period (14 clear days). This authority will be effective until the next annual general meeting of the Company, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed. This resolution is a common one at annual general meetings of companies listed on the main markets of Euronext Dublin and/or the London Stock Exchange.

Resolutions 13 and 14 - Administrative changes to the share capital structure of the Company related to the conclusion of the founder share scheme and the cancellation of the founder shares, deferred shares and A ordinary shares

The founder share scheme (FSS) provided for in the Company's memorandum and articles of association has now concluded in accordance with the relevant provisions and process for doing so set out in the Company's memorandum and articles of association. Pursuant to those provisions, all founder shares in issue at the conclusion of the FSS (that had not been previously converted or redeemed in accordance with the FSS) were converted on a one-for-one basis into deferred shares and subsequently surrendered to, and cancelled by, the Company.

Accordingly, it is now proposed to make certain administrative changes to the Company's share capital structure to reflect the conclusion of the FSS and, as there are no longer any founder shares or deferred shares in issue as a result of the conclusion of the FSS and no other use for these now historic share classes is contemplated, to cancel the authorised (but not in issue) founder shares and deferred shares in the share capital of the Company.

In addition, as there are no longer any A ordinary shares in the share capital of the Company in issue and no other use for this share class is contemplated, it is further proposed to cancel the authorised (but not in issue) A ordinary shares in the share capital of the Company.

Two resolutions are proposed to effect these administrative changes: Resolution 13, as an ordinary resolution, proposes to cancel the authorised (but not in issue) founder shares, deferred shares and A ordinary shares; and Resolution 14, as a special resolution and subject to the approval of Resolution 13, proposes certain limited changes to the memorandum and articles of association of the Company to (i) reflect the conclusion of the FSS and to remove all references and provisions related to the founder shares and (ii) to reflect the cancellation of the authorised (but not in issue) founder shares, deferred shares and A ordinary shares.

Resolution 13 - Cancellation of Founder Shares, Deferred Shares and A Ordinary Shares

Resolution 13 is asking members to authorise the cancellation by the Company of the authorised (but not in issue) founder shares, the deferred shares and the A ordinary shares.

Resolution 14 - Amendments to the memorandum and articles of association of the Company

Resolution 14 proposes amendments to the memorandum and articles of association of the Company to (i) reflect the conclusion of the FSS and to remove all references and provisions related to the founder shares and (ii) to reflect the cancellation of the authorised (but not in issue) founder shares, deferred shares and A ordinary shares. Resolution 14 also proposes a limited number of amendments to address legislative reference updates and to correct typographical errors in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company. An explanation of the proposed changes to the memorandum and articles of association is set out in the Appendix to this letter. Resolution 14 is proposed as a special resolution and is subject to the approval of Resolution 13.

A copy of the memorandum and articles of association incorporating the proposed changes, together with a comparison against the existing memorandum and articles of association (i) is available on the Company's website (www.cairnhomes.com), (ii) is available for inspection at the Company's registered office from the date of this letter until the conclusion of the AGM and (iii) will be available for inspection at the AGM for least fifteen minutes before, and for the duration of, the AGM.

Recommendation

The Board of Directors is satisfied that each of the resolutions set out in the Notice of AGM are in the best interests of the Company and its members as a whole. Accordingly, your Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote in favour of each of these resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

Yours faithfully,

John Reynolds Chairman

  • (c) for the purposes of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the expression "Treasury Share Appropriate Price" shall mean the lower of the average of the closing prices of the Company's ordinary shares taken from the main market of Euronext Dublin and the average of the closing prices of the Company's ordinary shares taken from the main market of the London Stock Exchange in each case for the five business days (in Dublin and in London, respectively, as the case may be) prior to the day the re-allotment is made, or if on any business day there shall be no dealing of ordinary shares on the trading venue or a closing price is not otherwise available, the Treasury Share Appropriate Price shall be determined by such other method as the Directors shall determine, in their sole discretion, to be fair and reasonable.

The authority hereby conferred shall expire on the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company after the date of passing of this Resolution or at midnight on the date which is 15 calendar months after the date of passing of this Resolution (whichever is earlier), unless previously varied, revoked or renewed by special resolution.
