This notice accompanies the Notice to members of the Annual General Meeting (the 'AGM NOTICE') of the British Dental Association (the 'ASSOCIATION') to be held remotely
on 19:30 on Tuesday 17 November 2020. As you will see from the resolutions set out in the AGM Notice, the Association is seeking its members' consent to send or supply documents and
information ('DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION') in electronic form via a website, as well as amending the articles of association to permit such forms of communication. Increased use of
electronic communications will deliver significant savings to the Association in terms of administration, printing and postage costs, as well as speeding up the provision of information to
shareholders. The reduced use of paper will also have environmental benefits. Under the provisions of the Companies Act 2006, we are also required to ask you individually to confirm your
agreement to the Association sending or supplying the Documents and Information to you as a member of the Association via www.bda.org (the 'WEBSITE'). Assuming that the resolution
to amend the Articles to permit website communications (as set out in the AGM Notice) is passed by members on 17 November 2020, if we do not receive a response from you within 28 days of the
date of this notice, then you will be taken to have agreed (under paragraph 10 of Schedule 5 to the Companies Act 2006) that the Association may send or supply the Documents and Information
to you via the Website. If you do not wish to receive Documents and Information via the Website, please inform us as soon as possible (and in any event within 28 days of the date of this
notice) by sending a letter addressed to the British Dental Association, 64 Wimpole Street, London W1G 8YS (marked for the attention of Stephen Skelton). We will notify you when the
Documents and Information are available to access on the Website and we will provide you with: * The address of the Website; * The place on the Website where the Documents and Information
may be accessed; and * Details of how to access the Documents and Information. Please note that there may be particular circumstances in which the Association needs to send Documents or
Information to you in hard copy rather than by the Website, in which case the Association reserves the right to do so. Yours faithfully, EDDIE CROUCH CHAIR, PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
