|
(c) |
If you wish to attend the meeting in person, please attend the Company’s office at Suite 105, 20 St Dunstan’s Hill, London EC3R 8HL, United Kingdom on 11 April 2024 at 12:00 noon (BST).
|
(d) |
If you are a shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the meeting, you are entitled to appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and
vote at the meeting, and you should have received a proxy form with this notice of meeting. A proxy does not need to be a shareholder of the Company but must attend the meeting to represent you. You can only appoint a proxy using the
procedures set out in these notes and the notes to the Proxy Form. To appoint more than one proxy, please contact the Company on tel. +44 203 795 2794.
|
(e) |
To be valid, an instrument appointing a proxy and any power of attorney or other authority under which the proxy instrument is signed (or a notarially certified copy thereof) must be
deposited at the Company's registered office by 18:00 (BST) on 09 April 2024.
|
(f) |
The completion and return of a Proxy Form will not affect the right of a member to attend, speak and vote in person at the meeting convened by this notice. If you have appointed a proxy
and attend the meeting in person, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.
|
(g) |
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 meeting.
|
(h) |
In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders completes a proxy appointment, 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).
|
(i) |
Shareholders may change proxy instructions by submitting a new proxy appointment using the methods set out above. Note that the cut-off time for receipt of proxy appointments also
applies in relation to amended instructions; any amended proxy appointment received after the relevant cut-off time will be disregarded.
|
(j) |
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.
|
(k) |
A shareholder may change a proxy instruction, but to do so you will need to inform the Company in writing by either:
|
(i) |
sending a signed hardcopy notice clearly stating your intention to revoke your proxy appointment to the Company. In the case where a shareholder 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; or
|
(ii) |
sending an email to ir@torm.com.
|
(l) |
In either case, the revocation notice must be received by the Company no later than 18:00 (BST) on 09 April 2024.
|
(m) |
If you attempt to revoke your proxy appointment, but the revocation is received after the time specified, your original proxy appointment will remain valid unless you attend the meeting
and vote in person.
|
(n) |
A corporation which is a shareholder can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise, on its behalf, all its powers as a shareholder provided that no more than one
corporate representative exercises powers over the same share.
|
(o) |

(p) |
Each A and B-share carries the right to one vote on all Resolutions proposed at this Annual General Meeting. The C-share carries the right to 350,000,000 votes in respect of those
matters set out in Article 4.7 of the Articles of Association but otherwise carries no right to vote. As a result, the ordinary C-share carries the right to vote on Resolutions 7 - 10 proposed at this Annual General Meeting but no right to

(a) |
As a member of the Company, you are entitled to appoint a proxy or proxies to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at a general meeting of the Company. You can
only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to part of your holding only, please enter the number of shares in relation to which they are authorized to act as your proxy in the
box next to the proxy’s name. If this box is left blank, they will be authorized in respect of your full voting entitlement.
|
(b) |
Appointment of a proxy does not preclude you from attending the meeting and voting in person. If you have appointed a proxy and attend the meeting in person, your proxy appointment will
automatically be terminated.
|
(c) |
A proxy does not need to be a member of the Company but must attend the meeting to represent you. If you wish to appoint as your proxy someone other than the Chairman of the meeting,
cross out the words "the Chairman of the Meeting" and write on the dotted line the full name and address of your proxy. The change should be initialed.
|
(d) |
In the case of a corporation, the proxy form must be expressed to be executed by the corporation and must be signed by a Director and the secretary or by two Directors or under the hand
of a duly authorized officer or attorney.
|
(e) |
In the case of joint holders, the vote of the person first named in the register of members tendering a vote will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders.
|
(f) |
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 any one share. If you are appointing more than one proxy, please indicate the number of shares in relation to which they are authorized to act as your proxy and indicate that the proxy appointment is one of multiple appointments being made
next to the proxy holder’s name. Multiple proxy appointments should be returned in the same envelope.
|
(g) |
To direct your proxy on how to vote on the resolutions, mark the appropriate box with an "X". To abstain from voting on a resolution, select the relevant "withheld" box. 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.
|
(h) |
In the absence of instructions, the appointed proxy may vote or abstain from voting as he or she thinks fit on the specified resolution and, unless instructed otherwise, the appointed
proxy may also vote or abstain from voting as he or she thinks fit on any other business (including amendments to resolutions) which may properly come before the meeting.
|
(i) |
You are requested to complete and send this Form of Proxy (or a notarially certified copy thereof) by regular mail to the Company's registered office. To be valid, this form must be
completed and deposited at the Company's registered office together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a copy of such authority certified notarially, by 18:00 (BST) on 09 April 2024.
