Assura plc (incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006 with registered number 9349441) Directors: Registered office: Simon Laffin ( Executive Chairman ) The Brew House Jonathan Murphy ( Finance Director ) Greenalls Avenue Jenefer Greenwood ( Non-executive Director ) Warrington David Richardson ( Non-executive Director ) Cheshire WA4 6HL Dear Shareholder 2016 Annual General Meeting I am pleased to be writing to you with details of our 2016 Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) to be held at the offices of Addleshaw Goddard LLP at Milton Gate, 60 Chiswell Street, London EC1Y 4AG on 19 July 2016 at 11.00 am. The notice convening the AGM is set out on pages 3 to 6 and contains the resolutions dealing with the business of the AGM. The Explanatory Notes for all business of the AGM are set out on pages 7 to 10. I would draw your attention in particular to the following resolutions that are to be proposed at the AGM: Remuneration Policy and Performance Share Plan (Resolutions 2 to 4) A resolution will be proposed to approve the Assura plc Performance Share Plan, the rationale for which is set out in the Directors’ Remuneration Report within the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2016. The Remuneration Policy has been revised to provide for this share plan. Dividend rectification (Resolution 11) A resolution will be proposed regarding the payment of the interim dividend to shareholders in April 2016. The Company has identified a technical irregularity the effect of which is that, while the Company held adequate reserves to cover the amount of the interim dividend, the dividend was paid at a time when the Company’s relevant accounts for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006 did not show sufficient distributable reserves to cover the full amount of the interim dividend. Resolution 11 is proposed to rectify the position. Voting Once again, voting on all resolutions to be proposed at the AGM will be by way of a poll as permitted by the Company’s articles of association. All resolutions apart from resolutions 13 to 16 are proposed as ordinary resolutions. An ordinary resolution will be passed on a poll if it is passed by shareholders representing a simple majority of the total voting rights of shareholders who (being entitled to do so) vote at the AGM. Resolutions 13 to 16 are proposed as special resolutions. A special resolution will be passed on a poll if it is passed by a majority of shareholders representing not less than 75% of the total voting rights of shareholders who (being entitled to do so) vote at the AGM. 1
