Notice of Annual General Meeting ("AGM") to be held on 27 May 2021 at Bodycote plc, Springwood Court, Springwood Close, Tytherington Business Park, Macclesfield SK10 2XF; and 2. Form of Proxy.

 The 2021 Notice of AGM will be available on the Company's website at www.bodycote.com from today. The Company considers the safety and wellbeing of both its shareholders and employees to be of paramount importance and although we had hoped to allow shareholder attendance this year, with this in mind arrangements have been made to comply with the current measures regarding limited gatherings and the continued 'stay at home' instructions put in place by the UK Government. The Board will continue to monitor developments as well as any further UK Government advice and will issue a further statement if this requires any amendment to the arrangements advised in the Notice of AGM. The AGM will take place at Bodycote plc, Springwood Court, Springwood Close, Tytherington Business Park, Macclesfield SK10 2XF.

The AGM will be a closed meeting and Shareholders will not be permitted to attend in person. Please do not travel to the meeting, as you will not be permitted to enter the building.

The Company will ensure that all legal requirements of the meeting, in accordance with its Articles of Association, are satisfied through the presence of the minimum number of two Shareholders (meaning the physical attendance in person of two shareholders). The format of the meeting will be purely functional and the Company's advisors will not be present. The AGM will comprise only the formal votes for each resolution set out in the Notice of Meeting. There will be no business update or Q&A. 

Shareholders are strongly encouraged to exercise their proxy vote online on the matters of business by either registering their vote through our registrars’ portal - www.sharevote.co.uk (instructions as advised in the Notice of AGM) or for CREST members through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service. Full details of how to complete the proxy form and return it are contained in the Notice of AGM. You are strongly advised to appoint the chairman of the meeting as your proxy to ensure your vote is counted. If you appoint anyone else as your proxy, they will not be permitted to enter the building to attend the meeting.

The latest time for proxies to be lodged is 12 noon on 25 May 2021.

All resolutions will be put to a vote on a poll, rather than on a show of hands. This will result in a more accurate reflection of the views of Shareholders and ensure that your proxy votes are recognised.

Any questions Shareholders have concerning the business to be conducted at the meeting may be directed via email to: agm@bodycote.com stating your name and Investor Code (as printed on your Share Certificate or obtained by contacting the Registrar). We will collate the questions we receive and will select a representative sample which will be answered on the Company's website after the AGM.

The results of the poll votes on the proposed resolutions will be published on the Company's website as soon as possible after the conclusion of the AGM.
