that, in the good faith judgment of the Managers (acting jointly), following consultation with SLP1 to the extent reasonably practicable in the circumstances, would make the placement of the Sale Shares or the enforcement of contracts to purchase the Sale Shares impracticable or inadvisable, or would materially prejudice trading of the Sale Shares in the secondary market;

(b)

SLP1’s representations and warranties made pursuant to this Agreement being true and accurate as of the date hereof, the Pricing Date and the Closing Date;

(b)

SLP1 acknowledges that each of the Managers is entering into this Agreement in reliance upon each of the representations, warranties and undertakings set out in Annex B. SLP1 will promptly notify the Managers if at any time on or prior to the Closing Date any of the representations or warranties set out in Annex B and given by it ceases to be true and accurate in any respect or in the event that it breaches any undertaking or fails to comply with any obligation under this Agreement.

(c)

To the extent not delivered together with the Sale Shares on the Closing Date, SLP1 shall promptly pay or transfer to the Managers, for the benefit of the purchasers of the Sale Shares, all dividends, distributions and other rights declared, distributed or received in respect of the Sale Shares for which an ex-dividend date occurs on or after the Pricing Date.

SLP1 undertakes, at its own expense, to execute or procure to be executed all such documents and do all such acts and things as are necessary in order to give effect to the terms of this Agreement and to enable the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares to be carried out and given full force and effect.

(e)

SLP1 undertakes, except to the extent required by applicable law or regulatory requirement and save as permitted by this Agreement, not to disclose to any third party or publicly refer to the contents of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by it prior to the Closing Date without the prior written consent of the Managers, except that SLP1 may disclose such information to its advisers as necessary in connection with the Sale.

(f)

All payments to be made by SLP1 to any Relevant Person (as defined in Clause 8) shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax unless SLP1 is compelled by applicable law to deduct or withhold such tax. In that event, SLP1 shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amounts that would have been received if no withholding or deduction had been made.

(g)

If any payment to be made by SLP1 to any Relevant Person (as defined in Clause 8) other than a payment of commissions payable under Clause 4 is subject to tax in relation to its receipt by the Relevant Person, the sum payable shall be increased to such amount as will ensure that after payment of any such tax the Relevant Person shall be left with a sum equal to the amount that it would have received in the absence of such liability to tax (after giving credit for any tax relief obtained, utilised and retained in respect of the matter giving rise to the payment).

(h)

SLP1 will give (or procure the giving of) such notices to, or make (or procure the making of) such announcements or filings with, the London Stock Exchange or any other agencies or bodies or persons, as shall be required to be made by it under any applicable law or regulation in connection with the sale of the Shares in the manner contemplated hereunder.

Representations, Warranties and Undertakings of the Managers

(b)

Each Manager acknowledges that SLP1 is entering into this Agreement in reliance upon each of the representations, warranties and undertakings set out in Annex C.

Indemnity

SLP1 agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Managers and its Affiliates, and the directors, officers, agents and employees of each of the foregoing and each other person, if any, controlling such Manager or any of its Affiliates (each a “Relevant Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or properly incurred expenses which any Relevant Person may suffer or incur or, in each case, actions in respect thereof, related to or arising out of (i) any breach or alleged breach of the representations and warranties of SLP1 contained in this Agreement, (ii) any failure or alleged failure of SLP1 to perform its obligations under the Agreement or (iii) any Relevant Person’s role in connection herewith (including, in each case, actions arising out of the Sale contemplated by the Agreement but, in the case of (iii) only excluding any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent they are finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from a material breach of this Agreement by any such Manager or any such Relevant Person’s bad faith, negligence, wilful default or fraud), and SLP1 will reimburse any Relevant Person for all properly incurred expenses (including legal fees and any irrecoverable VAT on any incurred expenses) as they are incurred by such Relevant Person in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such action or claim, whether or not in connection with a pending or threatened litigation in which such Relevant Person is a party. If a Relevant Person is subject to tax in respect of any indemnity payable under this Clause 8, the sum payable shall be increased to such amount as will ensure that after payment of such tax such Relevant Person shall be left with a sum equal to the amount that it would have received in the absence of such charge to tax (after giving credit for any tax relief available in respect of the matter giving rise to the indemnity), provided that SLP1 shall not be required to make any such payment in respect of any taxes which arise as a result a material breach of this Agreement by any such Manager or of the bad faith, gross negligence, willful default or fraud of any Relevant Person. The obligations of SLP1 under this Clause 8 shall be in addition to any liability that SLP1 may otherwise have. As used in this Agreement, “Affiliate” shall have the meaning specified in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”).

Each Relevant Person shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to SLP1 of any claim, proceeding, judgment or demand in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Clause 8 (each a "Claim"), but failure to so notify SLP1 shall not relieve SLP1 from any liability hereunder and in any event shall not relieve SLP1 from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of the indemnity set out in this Clause 8. Such Relevant Person shall thereafter keep SLP1 informed of all material developments in respect of the Claim and provide SLP1 with such information and copies of such documents relating to the Claim as SLP1 may reasonably request, provided that such Relevant Person shall not be under any obligation to provide SLP1 with a copy of any such document which is or may be legally privileged, and further provided that the omission by the Relevant Person to provide information or documents, shall not relieve SLP1 from any liability hereunder and in any event shall not relieve SLP1 from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of the indemnity set out in this Clause 8.

Each of the Managers and SLP1 agree that the indemnity letter entered into, on or about the date hereof, prior to the entry into this Agreement, (the “Indemnity Letter") shall terminate upon entry into this Agreement and shall be superseded by the indemnity in this Agreement and shall be of no further force and effect (save in respect of any accrued rights or liabilities which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be subject to Clause 13(g)).

Successors and Assigns

This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, each of the Managers and SLP1 and, to the extent provided herein, any other Relevant Person and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

10.

(b)

Save as provided in Clause 10(a), no person shall have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Agreement but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.

(c)

Notwithstanding the provisions of Clauses 10(a) and 10(b), the parties may amend, vary or terminate this Agreement in such a way as may affect any rights or benefits of any Third Party which are directly enforceable against the parties under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 without the consent of such Third Party.

11.

Law, Jurisdiction and Process Agent

Subject to Clause 11(b), the parties irrevocably agree that the English courts will have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to this Agreement and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.

(b)

If a third party, not being a party to this Agreement, commences proceedings against any Relevant Person in any court of competent jurisdiction, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Third Party Proceedings”), nothing in this Clause 11 shall limit the rights of such Relevant Person to join SLP1 as a party to such Third Party Proceedings or to otherwise bring proceedings against SLP1 in connection with the Third Party Proceedings under this Agreement or otherwise in such courts in the jurisdiction in question, regardless of whether proceedings have been initiated or are ongoing in another jurisdiction. SLP1 irrevocably waives any objection to any such court as is referred to in the foregoing sentence on grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise with respect to the relevant proceedings and irrevocably agrees that a judgment or order of any such court in connection with such proceedings shall be conclusive and binding on it and may be enforced against it in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

(b)

In the event that any Manager that is a Covered Entity or a Covered Affiliate of such Manager becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Manager are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Investor Representation Letter – Purchase of shares in Haleon plc

In connection with and as part of the consideration for our purchase of ordinary shares (the “Shares”) of Haleon plc (the “Company”) (the “Placing”), we represent, warrant, agree, undertake, confirm and/or acknowledge (as the case may be) to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ International and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (collectively, the “Managers”) and their affiliates that:

(a) We are an institution which has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and in buying equity securities that we are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Shares; (b) we and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of such investment, and are able to sustain a complete loss of our investment in the Shares; and (c) none of the Managers are making any recommendations to us or advising us regarding the suitability of buying any Shares of the Company in the Placing.

(a) No offering or disclosure documents or information have been or will be prepared by the Company, the seller, the Managers or any of their respective affiliates or any other person in connection with the Placing; and (b) the Shares are only being offered into the United States, on an exceptional and limited basis to a select group of experienced and sophisticated institutional QIBs (as defined below) that have signed this letter acknowledging and accepting the increased potential risks inherent in investing in such an accelerated placing, due to the speed to market, no disclosure or offering document being prepared for the transaction and no access for the Managers to the Company.

(a) The Shares are of the same class as securities admitted to listing on the London Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) and that the Company is therefore required to publish certain business and financial information in accordance with the rules and practices of the Exchange and the laws of England & Wales (together with the information on its website and its press releases and announcements, the “Public Information”), and that we have had access to such information without undue difficulty and have made such investigation with respect to the Company and the Shares, as we deem necessary to make our investment decision; (b) we acknowledge that the Company indicates on its website that it expects to release its financial results for the 2023 financial year on 29 February 2024 (the “FY 2023 Results”), and we acknowledge and accept that the Managers are not aware of the content of the FY 2023 Results and have not had any contact with or access to the Company to discuss or diligence the FY 2023 Results; (c) American depository shares representing ordinary shares of the Company are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Company is therefore required to publish certain business and financial information in accordance with the rules and practices of the New York Stock Exchange (the “New York Stock Exchange Information”) and file with, and furnish to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) reports, information and documents pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules of the Commission thereunder (the “Exchange Act Information” and, together with the Public Information and the New York Stock Exchange Information, the “Public and NYSE Information”), and that we have had access to such information without undue difficulty and have made such investigation with respect to the Company and the Shares, as we deem necessary to make our investment decision; (d) we have made our own assessment and have satisfied ourselves concerning the tax, legal, regulatory and financial considerations relevant to our investment in the Shares; (e) we have had the opportunity to ask questions concerning the terms and conditions of the offer of the Shares; (f) we have made our investment decision based upon Public and NYSE Information and our own review, judgement and analysis, and not upon any view expressed or information provided by or on behalf of the Managers or any of their affiliates; (g) we have not relied and will not rely on the Managers or any of their affiliates in connection with our analysis or decision to purchase Shares, or on any investigation that the Managers or any of their affiliates may have conducted with respect to the Company or the Shares, and none of such persons has made any representation or recommendation, express or implied, with respect to the Company or the Shares or the FY 2023 Results or the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any publicly available information, including (without limitation) the Public and NYSE Information, or any information in any Placing announcements or any information made available either at the time of sale or on the closing date of the Placing, or any information made available (whether in written or oral form) by the Company in its results presentation or as part of discussions by the Company with you in relation to its results (the “Results Information”), and none of the Managers or any of their affiliates accept or have any responsibility or liability for any of such information; and (h) none of the Managers or any of their affiliates have ultimate authority over any such information, including without limitation any control over its content or whether or how it was or is communicated.

We will not hold or seek to hold the Managers or any of their affiliates responsible or liable for any information disclosed by the Company in, or any misstatements in or omissions from, the FY 2023 Results, any misstatements in or omissions from any publicly available information concerning the Company, including (without limitation) the Public and NYSE Information or any information in any Placing announcements or any information made available to us either at the time of sale or on the closing date of the Placing, or any Results Information.

We are empowered, authorised and qualified to purchase the Shares.

We are a “qualified institutional buyer” (“QIB”) within the meaning of Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Further, if we are acquiring the Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, each such account is a QIB, we have investment discretion with respect to each such account and we have the power and authority to make (and do make) the representations, warranties, agreements, undertakings, confirmations and acknowledgments herein on behalf of each such account, including without limitation purchasing the Shares.

We are acquiring such Shares for our own account (or the account of a QIB as to which we have full investment discretion) for investment purposes and (subject to the disposition of our property being at all times within our control) not with a view to any distribution of the Shares.

We understand that any Shares offered to or purchased by us in the United States are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and agree that so long as the Shares are restricted securities, we will segregate such Shares from any other shares that we hold that are not “restricted securities”, will not deposit the Shares in an unrestricted depository receipt facility and will only transfer such Shares in accordance with paragraph 9 below.

We understand that such Shares are being offered and sold to us pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or another exemption from, or transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction not involving a public offering of securities in the United States and that the Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or with any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. We agree that with respect to any Shares offered to or purchased by us in the United States, so long as the Shares are “restricted securities”, the Shares may not be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred except (a) to the Company, (b) outside the United States in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (c) inside the United States in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is a QIB that is purchasing such Shares for its own account or for the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the offer, sale or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, (d) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (if available), (e) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (f) pursuant to another available exemption, if any, from registration under the Securities Act, and that, in each case, such offer, sale, pledge or transfer must be made in accordance with all applicable securities laws of each state of the United States and the securities laws of any other relevant jurisdiction, as then in effect.

10.

We understand that no representation has been made as to the availability of Rule 144, Rule 144A or any other exemption under the Securities Act for the reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer of the Shares.

11.

We understand and acknowledge that each of the Managers are acting solely for the seller of the Shares and no-one else in connection with the Placing.

12.

We acknowledge and agree that the exercise by the Managers of any power to grant consent to the seller to undertake a transaction which would otherwise be subject to the lock-up under the block trade agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the Managers (subject to the Managers having agreed with the seller not to withhold or delay its consent unreasonably) and that it need not make any reference to, or consult with, us and that it shall have no liability to us in connection with any such exercise of the power to grant such consent.

13.

We acknowledge and agree that the Managers are entitled at any time before settlement, to terminate the block trade agreement with the seller and, consequently the Placing, in accordance with the terms of such block trade agreement in certain circumstances, such as a material breach by the seller of its warranties in the block trade agreement, a material adverse change in the condition of the underlying company or the occurrence of certain force majeure events.

We acknowledge and agree that the good faith exercise or non-exercise by the Managers of any right of termination under the block trade agreement shall be at the absolute discretion of the Managers, with no requirement to reference or consult with us and the Managers shall have no liability to us in connection with the good faith exercise or non-exercise of such termination right.

[Signature page follows.]

We understand that the foregoing representations, warranties, agreements, undertakings, confirmations and acknowledgements are required in connection with the United States and other securities laws and that the Managers and their affiliates are entitled to rely upon this letter and upon the accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, undertakings, confirmations and acknowledgements contained herein, and the Managers and their affiliates are irrevocably authorised to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby. We also understand that all references herein to Shares, where the context permits, shall also be deemed to be references to depositary interests.

We understand that if we purchase the Shares in this transaction and fail to return an executed copy of this letter to the Managers we will be deemed to have made for the benefit of the Managers and their affiliates all such representations, warranties, agreements, undertakings, confirmations and acknowledgments contained herein.

This is not a confirmation of sale of Shares or the terms thereof. We understand that any such confirmation (as appropriate) will be sent to us separately.

Yours truly,
