* Expressed as a percentage of the number of shares voted per resolution (rounded to the nearest two decimals).

** The Board is cognisant of shareholders’ concerns in relation to the Company’s Remuneration Implementation Report
and is encouraged by shareholders’ support of the Remuneration Policy. Given that a 75% majority of votes was not
achieved on ordinary resolution number 11, being a non-binding advisory vote on the Remuneration Implementation
Report, any shareholder who wishes to submit any questions, comments, suggestions or reasons for their dissenting votes
to the Company, or who wishes to arrange a direct consultation with the Company to discuss the Remuneration
Implementation Report, is invited to do so by writing to the Group Company Secretary and Governance Officer by email
at cosec@arm.co.za, by no later than the close of business on Friday, 30 December 2022.

Arrangements will be made to facilitate the engagement process directly with those responding shareholders as soon as
reasonably practicable after receipt of shareholders’ written submissions, and the Company will report to shareholders
on the nature of the steps taken to address all legitimate and reasonable objections and concerns in its next Remuneration
Report.
