Voting on all resolutions will be by way of a poll. By order of the Board Sally Lawrence Company Secretary 33-37 Athol Street Douglas Isle of Man IM1 1LB 4

Notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting 1. Information regarding the Meeting, including a copy of the Annual Report and Accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2017 posted with this Notice, is available from the Company s website at www.manxtelecom.com. 2. If you are a member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting, you are entitled to appoint a proxy 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. You can only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes and the notes to the proxy form. 3. Pursuant to Regulation 22 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2006 (Isle of Man), shareholders must be entered on the Company s share register at 9am on 11 June 2018 (or, in the event that the Meeting is adjourned, on the register of members 48 hours before the time of any adjourned meeting) in order to be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting. Any changes to the register of members after 9am on 11 June 2018 (or, in the event that the Meeting is adjourned, on the register of members less than 48 hours before the time of any adjourned meeting) shall be disregarded in determining the right of any person to attend and vote at the Meeting. 4. In the case of joint holders, the signature of only one of the joint holders is required on the form of proxy but the vote of the first named on the register of members will be accepted to the exclusion of the other joint holders. 5. A form of proxy is enclosed with this Notice for use in connection with the business set out above. To be valid, forms of proxy and any power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed must be lodged with Estera Trust (Isle of Man) Limited at 33-37 Athol Street, Douglas, Isle of Man IM1 1LB as soon as possible but in any event must be received not later than 9am on 11 June 2018 (or, if the Meeting is adjourned, not later than two working days before the time fixed for the adjourned meeting). Completion and return of a form of proxy does not preclude a member from attending and voting at the Meeting or at any adjournment thereof in person. 6. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the Meeting by utilising the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members who have appointed a voting service provider, should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf. 7. In order for a proxy appointment made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Ltd s specifications and must include the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com/crest). The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the Issuer s agent (ID number 3RA50) not later than 9am on Monday 11 June 2018. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the Issuer s agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means. 8. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s) should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland Ltd does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular message. Normal systems timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitation of the CREST systems and timings. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 18(4)(a) of the Uncertificated Security Regulations 2006 (Isle of Man). 9. A corporation which is a member may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorise a person to act as its representative who may exercise, on its behalf, all its powers as a member, provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares. A certified copy of any such resolution must be deposited at the registered office of the Company not later than the time appointed for the Meeting in order for the authority granted by the said resolution to be treated as valid. 10. Please note that the Company takes all reasonable precautions to ensure no viruses are present in any electronic communication it sends out but the Company cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage arising from the opening or use of any email or attachments from the Company and recommends that the shareholders subject all messages to virus checking procedures prior to use. Any electronic communication received by the Company, including the lodgement of an electronic proxy form, that is found to contain any virus will not be accepted. 11. As at 5pm on 25 April 2018, the Company s issued share capital comprised 114,847,637 Ordinary Shares. Each Ordinary Share carries the right to one vote at a general meeting of the Company and, therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company as at 5pm on 25 April 2018 is 114,847,637. The website referred to in note 1 will include information on the number of shares and voting rights. 5

12. Voting on all resolutions will be conducted by way of a poll rather than on a show of hands as this is considered by the Board to reflect the views of shareholders more accurately. As soon as practicable following the Meeting the results of voting at the Meeting and the numbers of proxy votes cast for and against and the number of votes actively withheld in respect of each resolution will be announced via a Regulatory Information Service and also placed on the Company s website referred to in note 1. 13. The following documents will be available for inspection at 33-37 Athol Street, Douglas, Isle of Man IM1 1LB from 4 May 2018 until the time of the Meeting and at the Meeting venue itself for at least 15 minutes prior to the Meeting until the end of the Meeting: copies of the service contracts of Executive Directors of the Company; and copies of the letters of appointment of the Non-Executive Directors of the Company. 14. Except as provided above, members who have general queries about the Meeting should use the following means of communication (no other methods of communication will be accepted): calling our shareholder helpline on +44 (0)870 707 4040. You may not use any electronic address provided either: in this Notice of Annual General Meeting; or in any related documents (including the Chairman s letter and proxy form), to communicate with the Company for any purposes other than those expressly stated. 6

Appendix 1 Explanatory notes Resolution 1 To receive the Annual Report and Accounts The Chairman will present to the Meeting the accounts and the reports of the Directors and the auditors for the year ended 31 December 2017 (the Annual Report ). Resolution 2 Approve the Directors Remuneration Report This vote is advisory in respect of the overall remuneration package and the Directors entitlements to remuneration are not conditional upon this resolution being passed. As an AIM listed company it is not a requirement that the remuneration policy is approved by shareholders. Resolution 3 Re-election of director The Articles provide that at each AGM, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not exceeding one-third) shall retire from office. Accordingly, Kevin Walsh will seek re-election at the Meeting. Biography of director seeking re-election Kevin Walsh Non-Executive Chairman Kevin Walsh was appointed Chairman on the Company s admission to AIM in February 2014. He is also chairman of the Nomination Committee. Kevin was an Executive Director of KCOM group plc between May 2004 and August 2014. In addition, he was the Chief Executive for the KC brand, which is the market-leading internet and telecoms provider for Hull and East Yorkshire. Prior to joining KCOM in 2000 Kevin was Managing Director of a listed internet business startup and held a number of Divisional Managing Director roles within the Electrolux Group. Resolution 4 Appointment of auditors and auditors remuneration Resolution 4 proposes the reappointment of KPMG Audit LLC as the Company s auditors to hold office until the next AGM of the Company and, as is common practice, authorises the Directors to set the auditors remuneration. Resolution 5 Power of the Directors to allot shares etc Under Article 6 of the Articles, the Directors may only allot Ordinary Shares or grant rights over Ordinary Shares if authorised to do so by the holders of Ordinary Shares. The Directors existing authority is due to expire at the conclusion of this year s Meeting. The Investment Association ( IA ) guidelines on authority to allot shares states that IA members will permit, and treat as routine, resolutions seeking to allot shares representing approximately one-third of the number of Ordinary Shares in issue. In addition, IA members will treat as routine a request for authority to allot shares representing approximately two-thirds of the number of Ordinary Shares in issue provided that it is only used to allot shares pursuant to a preemptive rights issue. Accordingly, the authority in Resolution 5, paragraph (a) will allow your directors to allot up to 38,282,545 Ordinary Shares in the Company or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing approximately one-third of the Company s issued ordinary share capital as calculated as at 25 April 2018 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this notice). The authority in Resolution 5, paragraph (b) will allow your directors to allot a further 38,282,545 Ordinary Shares representing approximately one-third of the Company s issued Ordinary Shares as calculated as at 25 April 2018 (being the last practicable date prior to publication of this notice), only in connection with a pre-emptive offer (as defined in the Articles). The power conferred by this resolution will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or, if sooner, 15 months after the date of the passing of the resolution. The Directors have no present intention of exercising this authority. However, it is considered prudent to maintain the flexibility that this authority provides. The Directors intend to renew this authority annually. Resolution 6 Disapplication of pre-emption rights Under Article 5 of the Articles, when new Ordinary Shares are proposed to be issued for cash, they must first be offered to existing shareholders pro-rata to their holdings. There may be occasions, however, when the Directors may need the flexibility to finance business opportunities by the issue of Ordinary Shares for cash without a fully pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders. It is therefore proposed to grant the Directors authority to allot Ordinary Shares for cash without such securities first being required to be offered to existing shareholders. Resolution 6 will, if passed, give the Directors authority to allot Ordinary Shares pursuant to the authority granted in Resolution 5 for cash without complying with the pre-emption rights in the Articles and is proposed as an ordinary resolution. In accordance with the relevant investor guidelines, this authority will permit the Directors to allot and issue, apart from in connection with a rights issue or any other pre-emptive offer concerning equity securities, 5,742,381 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 5% of the Company s issued Ordinary Shares as at 25 April 2018 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this notice). The power conferred by this resolution will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or, if sooner, 15 months after the date of the passing of the resolution. The Directors have no immediate plans to make use of this authority. 7

Resolution 7 Purchase of own shares This resolution seeks authority for the Company to purchase Ordinary Shares on the open market and is proposed as a special resolution in accordance with the Articles. If passed, the resolution will give authority for the Company to purchase up to 11,484,763 of its Ordinary Shares, representing just under 10% of the Company s issued Ordinary Share capital as at 25 April 2018 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this notice). The resolution specifies the minimum and maximum prices which may be paid for any Ordinary Shares purchased under the authority. The power conferred by this resolution will expire (unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company) at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or, if sooner, 15 months after the date of the passing of the resolution. The Directors do not currently have any intention of exercising the authority granted by this resolution. The Directors will only exercise the authority to purchase Ordinary Shares where they consider that such purchases will be in the best interests of shareholders generally. In accordance with the Articles, any Ordinary Shares purchased by the Company under the authority will be cancelled. The Company had options and awards outstanding over 1,298,742 Ordinary Shares, representing 1.1% of the Company s issued share capital as at 25 April 2018. If the authority conferred by Resolution 7 were to be exercised in full these outstanding options and awards would represent 1.3% of the issued share capital of the Company. Resolutions 5 and 6 will each be proposed as ordinary resolutions and will require more than half of the votes cast at the Meeting to be in favour of a resolution for it to be passed. Following the receipt of legal advice, Resolution 6 will be proposed as an ordinary (rather than a special) resolution in 2018. Resolution 7 will be proposed as a special resolution and will require not less than 75 per cent of the votes cast at the Meeting to be in favour of a resolution for it to be passed. 8
