’ notice to AstraZeneca DI holders where such amendments do not, in the reasonable opinion of the DI Depositary, materially affect the interests of holders of AstraZeneca DIs. For any amendment which shall, in the reasonable opinion of the DI Depositary, be materially prejudicial to the interests of the AstraZeneca DI holders as a whole, such amendments shall not take effect until 40 days after service of notice on the AstraZeneca DI holders.

The DI Depositary (or any other duly appointed nominee or custodian) may require any holder of AstraZeneca DIs to provide information in relation to their holdings of AstraZeneca DIs on the same basis as such information may be required from a holder of AstraZeneca Shares.

In relation to distribution payments arising from dividends payable in respect of interests in AstraZeneca Shares held in the form of AstraZeneca DIs, the DI Depositary will pay such distributions to the relevant holders of AstraZeneca DIs in pounds sterling unless the relevant holders of AstraZeneca DIs have lodged a valid and permitted currency payment election through the CREST system for such payments to be payable in a permitted alternative currency such as US dollars instead of in pounds sterling.

To the extent possible, all mandates, preferences and other instructions given to AstraZeneca and in force at the Effective Time relating to AstraZeneca Shares (and to be represented by AstraZeneca DIs following the Effective Time) shall, unless and until revoked or amended, be deemed as from the Effective Time to be valid and effective mandates, preferences and instructions to the DI Depositary. However, to ensure the latest instructions are implemented, recipients of AstraZeneca DIs should consider contacting the DI Depositary after the Effective Time and ahead of any dividend event to confirm that this is the case. Further information on electing for alternative currency preferences is set out in the separate Shareholder FAQs document which has been made available to Shareholders at the same time as this document.
