EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE RESOLUTIONS PROPOSED AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

All the Resolutions are proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means that for each of those Resolutions to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in favour of the Resolution. Voting on all Resolutions at the Annual General Meeting will be conducted by way of a poll, rather than a show of hands.

A “vote withheld” option will be provided to enable those voting to abstain on any Resolution. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against a Resolution.

Resolution 1 – Annual Report and Accounts

The Directors are required by the Act to lay before the Company in general meeting copies of the directors’ reports, the independent auditors’ report and the audited financial statements of the Company in respect of each financial year. For the financial year ended 31 March 2024, these are all contained in the Annual Report and Accounts.

In accordance with best practice, the Company proposes an ordinary resolution to receive the Annual Report and Accounts, a copy of which may be found at: https://investors.arm.com/ir-resources/annual-meeting.

Resolution 2 – Approval of the Directors’ Remuneration Policy

In accordance with section 439A of the Act, a resolution to approve the Directors’ Remuneration Policy section of the Directors’ Remuneration Report is required to be put to a vote at the Annual General Meeting. The vote is binding which means that payments, including for loss of office, cannot be made to current, past or future Directors unless that payment is consistent with the Directors’ Remuneration Policy or has been approved by a resolution of the Shareholders. The Directors’ Remuneration Policy must be put to Shareholders for approval at least every three years.

The Directors’ Remuneration Policy is being tabled for approval at the Annual General Meeting as the Company was a quoted company under the Act for the financial year ended 31 March 2024. Resolution 2 is therefore an ordinary resolution to approve the Directors’ Remuneration Policy, which is set out in full on pages 50 to 59 of the Annual Report and Accounts. If approved, this Directors’ Remuneration Policy will take effect immediately, and will remain valid until replaced by a new or amended policy. A remuneration policy will be put to Shareholders for approval again no later than the 2027 annual general meeting of the Company.

Resolution 3 – Approval of the Directors’ Remuneration Report

In accordance with section 439 of the Act, Shareholders are requested to approve the Directors’ Remuneration Report. The Directors’ Remuneration Report is set out on pages 47 to 68 of the Annual Report and Accounts.

The Board considers that appropriate remuneration of Directors plays a vital part in helping to achieve the Company’s overall objectives. We encourage Shareholders to read the Directors’ Remuneration Report. Our Board and the Remuneration Committee believe that the policies and procedures as articulated in the Directors’ Remuneration Report are effective and that, as a result of these policies and procedures, we have and will continue to have high-quality directors. Our UK statutory auditors, Deloitte LLP, have audited those parts of the Directors’ Remuneration Report that are required to be audited. The Board has approved and signed the report in accordance with the Act.

This vote is advisory and non-binding and the Directors’ entitlement to receive remuneration is not conditional on it. Payments made or promised to Directors will not have to be repaid, reduced or withheld in the event that the Resolution is not passed. Although non-binding, our Board and the Remuneration Committee will review and consider the voting results when making future decisions regarding our Directors’ remuneration.

Resolutions 4 and 5 – Appointment and remuneration of the auditors

The Company is required to appoint auditors at each general meeting at which accounts are laid before the members, to hold office until the conclusion of the next such meeting. Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution to re-appoint Deloitte LLP as the Company’s auditors to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting at which accounts are laid. They have indicated their willingness to stand for reappointment as auditors of the Company until the conclusion of the annual general meeting in 2025. The Audit Committee keeps under review the independence and objectivity of the external auditors. After considering the relevant information, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board that Deloitte LLP be re-appointed as auditors. The Audit Committee will continue to consider the reappointment of the external auditors each year before making a recommendation to the Board.

Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution to authorise the Audit Committee to determine the auditors’ remuneration. In accordance with the charter of the Audit Committee, the Board has delegated authority to the Audit Committee to determine the auditors’ remuneration.

Resolutions 6 to 12 (inclusive) – Re-appointment of Directors

The Articles require that, at the end of each annual general meeting of the Company, all of the directors of the Company holding office at the date that notice is sent of that annual general meeting shall retire from office, except for any director appointed by the directors of the Company after notice of that annual general meeting has been given and before that annual general meeting has been held. Each of the Directors listed below is retiring and seeks re-election at the Annual General Meeting. Resolutions 6 to 12 seek your approval to re-elect these persons as directors of the Company.

Having considered the performance of and contribution made by each of these Directors, the Board remains satisfied that, and the Chairman confirms that, the performance of each of these Directors continues to be effective and to demonstrate commitment to the role and as such the Board recommends their re-election. Biographical information for all the Directors standing for re-election is set out below.

APPENDIX

Principal Features of the ESPP

This Appendix sets out the principal terms of the ESPP which is being put to the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting for approval by Resolution 14.

The ESPP is an all-employee stock purchase plan under which eligible employees are offered the opportunity to purchase options over ADSs that represent fully paid-up Shares (and, as used in this Appendix, where the context requires, references to “Shares” include ADSs representing Shares). The ESPP is designed to comply with section 423 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), giving eligible U.S. participants certain tax benefits on gains made under the ESPP. Participation may also be offered to non-U.S. participants under a sub-plan that is not intended to qualify under section 423 of the Code.

Eligibility

Generally, all employees (including employees who are also directors) of the Company or any designated subsidiaries are eligible to participate in any offering under the ESPP (other than anybody holding 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of the Company) subject to meeting any relevant service requirement.

Participation and contributions

Eligible employees who choose to participate in an offering must submit an enrolment form authorizing payroll deductions up to a maximum of 10% of their pay per pay period. The upper limit in the ESPP rules for US participants is the IRS Code limit, currently $25,000 per year.

Grant of options and insufficient Shares

Eligible employees may be granted ESPP options to acquire Shares or ADSs at a fixed price which may be set at a discount (of up to 15%) to the fair market value of the Shares or ADSs at the date of grant or exercise. The number of Shares or ADSs available for the grant of ESPP options may be proportionally reduced in the event the total number of Shares that would otherwise be purchased on any exercise date exceeds the maximum number of Shares available under the ESPP. Options are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and may only be exercised by the persons to whom they were granted or their personal representatives. Benefits under the ESPP are not pensionable.

Plan limits

The maximum number of Shares in aggregate that may be issued or transferred on the exercise of options is capped by the “Share Reserve” contained in the Company’s Omnibus Plan, which was approved by shareholders on 24 August 2023 (or any successor plan). The Share Reserve is currently defined as 20.5 million Shares, increasing by 2% of the Company’s share capital each year for the life of the Omnibus Plan. If options lapse, then the number of Shares or ADSs allocated to that option may be reallocated to this plan limit.

Exercise of options and withdrawal

At the end of the offering period, the options will be exercised unless the participant chooses to withdraw. If the participant withdraws from the ESPP, their outstanding options will lapse and they will receive a repayment of their contributions. If the exercise price per option is equal to or more than the market value of an ADS on the date of exercise, the options shall lapse and the participant’s accumulated payroll deductions for that offering shall be refunded, without interest.

Source of shares

Options may be satisfied with ADSs representing newly issued Shares, a transfer of treasury shares or Shares purchased in the market.

Leavers

If a participant leaves employment, they will be treated as withdrawing from the ESPP. Their outstanding options will lapse and they will receive a repayment of their contributions.

Corporate events

In the event of certain corporate events that constitute a change of control of the Company, the Company shall notify participants of their right to exercise options. If they are not exercised, then contributions will be repaid to employees.

Alternatively, in the event of a takeover or scheme of arrangement, options may, with the agreement of the acquiring company, be exchanged for options over shares in the acquiring company or a company associated with the acquiring company.

Adjustment of options

In the event of any variation of the Company’s share capital, the number of Shares or ADSs subject to options and the exercise price may be adjusted by the Remuneration Committee provided that any such adjustment shall be made in accordance with section 424 of the Code.

Duration of the ESPP

No further options may be granted after the tenth anniversary of the approval of the ESPP by the Shareholders but the ESPP may be terminated at any earlier time by the Board or Remuneration Committee. The rights of existing participants will not be affected.

Amendments

The Board or the Remuneration Committee may amend the ESPP but certain provisions cannot be altered without prior Shareholder approval including amendments related to increasing the share limit, eligibility requirements, dilution or share utilisation. No amendment shall operate to materially prejudice any rights already acquired by a participant under the ESPP.

Pursuant to Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001, entitlement to attend and vote at the meeting and the number of votes which may be cast thereat will be determined by reference to the Register of Members of the Company at close of business on the day which is two days before the day of the meeting.

For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp generated by the relevant designated voting platform) from which the issuer’s agent is able to retrieve the message. The Company may treat as invalid a proxy appointment sent via a designated voting platform in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

6.	The above is how your address appears on the Register of Members. If this information is incorrect please ring the Registrar’s helpline on 0370 702 0000 to request a change of address form or go to www.investorcentre.co.uk to use the online Investor Centre service.

EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE RESOLUTIONS PROPOSED AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Resolution 1 – Annual Report and Accounts

Resolution 2 – Approval of the Directors’ Remuneration Policy

In accordance with section 439A of the Act, a resolution to approve the Directors’ Remuneration Policy section of the Directors’ Remuneration Report is required to be put to a vote at the Annual General Meeting. The vote is binding which means that payments, including for loss of office, cannot be made to current, past or future Directors unless that payment is consistent with the Directors’ Remuneration Policy or has been approved by a resolution of the Company. The Directors’ Remuneration Policy must be put to a vote for approval at least every three years.

The Directors’ Remuneration Policy is being tabled for approval at the Annual General Meeting as the Company was a quoted company under the Act for the financial year ended 31 March 2024. Resolution 2 is therefore an ordinary resolution to approve the Directors’ Remuneration Policy, which is set out in full on pages 50 to 59 of the Annual Report and Accounts. If approved, this Directors’ Remuneration Policy will take effect immediately, and will remain valid until replaced by a new or amended policy. A remuneration policy will be put to a vote for approval again no later than the 2027 annual general meeting of the Company.

Resolution 3 – Approval of the Directors’ Remuneration Report

In accordance with section 439 of the Act, you are requested to approve the Directors’ Remuneration Report. The Directors’ Remuneration Report is set out on pages 47 to 68 of the Annual Report and Accounts.

The Board considers that appropriate remuneration of Directors plays a vital part in helping to achieve the Company’s overall objectives. We encourage you to read the Directors’ Remuneration Report. Our Board and the Remuneration Committee believe that the policies and procedures as articulated in the Directors’ Remuneration Report are effective and that, as a result of these policies and procedures, we have and will continue to have high-quality directors. Our UK statutory auditors, Deloitte LLP, have audited those parts of the Directors’ Remuneration Report that are required to be audited. The Board has approved and signed the report in accordance with the Act.
