Recommendations<br />

The <strong>Foresight</strong> 1 Board, which has been so advised by BDO, considers the <strong>Foresight</strong> 1 Related Party<br />

Transactions with <strong>Foresight</strong> <strong>Group</strong> to be fair and reasonable so far as the <strong>Foresight</strong> 1 Shareholders are<br />

concerned. In providing its advice, BDO has taken into account the <strong>Foresight</strong> 1 Board’s commercial<br />

assessment of the <strong>Foresight</strong> 1 Related Party Transactions.<br />

The <strong>Foresight</strong> 2 Board, which has been so advised by BDO, considers the <strong>Foresight</strong> 2 Related Party<br />

Transactions with <strong>Foresight</strong> <strong>Group</strong> to be fair and reasonable so far as the <strong>Foresight</strong> 2 Shareholders are<br />

concerned. In providing its advice, BDO has taken into account the <strong>Foresight</strong> 2 Board’s commercial<br />

assessment of the <strong>Foresight</strong> 2 Related Party Transactions.<br />

<strong>Foresight</strong> <strong>Group</strong> is regarded as a related party under the Listing Rules and, therefore, cannot vote (and,<br />

as it does not hold any Shares in either Company, will not be entitled to vote) on Resolution 1 to be<br />

proposed at each of the <strong>Foresight</strong> 1 Meetings and the <strong>Foresight</strong> 2 Meetings. <strong>Foresight</strong> <strong>Group</strong> will take all<br />

reasonable steps to ensure that its associates (including any partners, members and employees) will<br />

also not vote on these resolutions.<br />

The <strong>Foresight</strong> 1 Board believes that the <strong>Foresight</strong> 1 Proposals and the Resolutions to be proposed at the<br />

<strong>Foresight</strong> 1 Meetings are in the best interests of <strong>Foresight</strong> 1 Shareholders as a whole and unanimously<br />

recommends <strong>Foresight</strong> 1 Shareholders to vote in favour of such Resolutions as they intend to do in<br />

respect of their own holdings of 53,687 <strong>Foresight</strong> 1 Shares, representing approximately 0.15% of the<br />

entire issued <strong>Foresight</strong> 1 Share capital (these being all <strong>Foresight</strong> 1 Ordinary Shares, representing<br />
