 Class B Common Stock is entitled to cast an affirmative vote for up to nine (9) director nominees. Cumulative voting is not permitted. The nine (9) nominees for director who receive the highest number of votes cast, in person or by Proxy, at the Annual Meeting will be elected as directors. Votes withheld and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, is required for the approval of an amendment to the Crawford & Company 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan for authorization of 1,000,000 additional shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance under the plan, the advisory approval of the compensation of our named executive officers, and ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on these matters. What are the Board’s voting recommendations? Our Board of Directors recommends the following votes:

| ● | Proposal One — FOR the election of the nine (9) persons nominated to serve as directors; |

| ● | Proposal Two — FOR the approval of an amendment to the Crawford & Company 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan which authorizes 1,000,000 additional shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance under the plan; |

| ● | Proposal Three – FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers in 2024; and |

| ● | Proposal Four — FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2025. |
