Dear shareholder,

Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2024

We are keen to welcome shareholders in person to our AGM this year. We are proposing to hold this year's Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Volution Group plc (the Company) at the offices of Norton Rose Fulbright LLP, 3 More London Riverside, London SE1 2AQ, United Kingdom, on Wednesday 11 December 2024 at 12.00 noon.

The formal Notice convening the AGM is set out on pages 4 to 5 of this document. An explanation of each of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM is set out on pages 6 to 7.

The AGM is an opportunity for shareholders to express their views and to put questions to the Board. We, as your Board, are committed to open dialogue with our shareholders and our AGM is a good opportunity to engage with you directly. If you would like to submit a question in advance, please email ir@volutiongroupplc.com or write to the Company Secretary at Volution Group plc, Fleming Way, Crawley, West Sussex RH10 9YX.

Re-election of Directors

As previously announced, Margaret Amos has notified the Board that she will not be offering herself for re-election at the AGM. In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, all Directors, save for Margaret, will seek re-election by shareholders.

As Chair, I believe that the contribution and performance of each of the Directors seeking re-election continue to be valuable and effective. Each of these Directors demonstrates commitment to their role and I therefore believe that it is appropriate that each of these Directors should continue to serve on the Board.

Biographical details of the Directors seeking re-election are set out in full in the Annual Report and Accounts 2024 on pages 94 and 95 and in the Appendix to this Notice of AGM, and information on their remuneration can be found on pages 117 to 129 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2024.

Voting arrangements

Each of the resolutions to be considered at the AGM will be voted on by way of a poll. This ensures that shareholders who are not able to attend the AGM, but who have appointed proxies, have their votes accounted for. The results of the poll will be announced to the London Stock Exchange and published on the Company's website as soon as possible after the conclusion of the AGM.

If you would like to vote on the resolutions but will not be attending the AGM, you may appoint a proxy by completing and returning the enclosed Form of Proxy in accordance with the instructions printed on it. Forms of Proxy should be returned to be received by the Company's registrar, Equiniti Limited, as soon as possible and in any event no later than 12.00 noon on Monday 9 December 2024.

Alternatively, if you hold your shares in CREST, you may appoint a proxy electronically via the CREST system.

If you hold your shares through a nominee service, please contact the nominee service provider regarding the process for appointing a proxy.

Recommendation

Your Directors consider that all of the resolutions in the Notice of AGM are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of them, as they will do in respect of their own shareholdings.

Yours faithfully,

Nigel Lingwood Chair

Volution Group plc Registered office: Fleming Way, Crawley, West Sussex RH10 9YX Registered in England and Wales number: 09041571

Fiona Smith

Company Secretary 23 October 2024

Volution Group plc Registered office: Fleming Way, Crawley, West Sussex RH10 9YX Registered in England and Wales number: 09041571

Explanatory Notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting

Resolution 1 – To receive the Annual Report and Accounts 2024

The Directors are required by the Companies Act 2006 (the Act) to present the accounts, the Directors' Report and the Auditor's Report for the year ended 31 July 2024 to shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. These are contained in the Company's Annual Report and Accounts 2024.

Resolution 2 – To approve the Directors' Remuneration Report

Under Section 420 of the Act, the Directors must prepare an annual report detailing the remuneration of the Directors and a statement by the Chair of the Remuneration Committee (together, the Directors' Remuneration Report). The Act also requires that a resolution be put to shareholders each year for their approval of that report (excluding the part containing the Directors' Remuneration Policy). The Directors' Remuneration Report can be found on pages 117 to 129 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2024. This resolution is an advisory vote only, which means that payments made or promised to Directors will not have to be repaid, reduced or withheld in the event that this resolution is not passed.

Resolution 3 – To declare a final dividend

The Company is proposing to shareholders a final dividend of 6.2 pence per ordinary share. If this resolution is approved, the recommended final dividend will be paid on 17 December 2024 to shareholders who are on the register of members of the Company at the close of business on 22 November 2024.

Resolutions 4 to 9 – Re-election of Directors

Resolutions 4 to 9 inclusive deal with the re-election of the Directors in accordance with the requirements of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the Code) and the Company's Articles of Association. The Code provides for all directors of listed companies to be subject to re-election by the shareholders every year and, for any new director, election at the first annual general meeting after their appointment. As previously announced, Margaret Amos has notified the Board that she will not be offering herself for re-election at the AGM.

Accordingly, in keeping with the Board's aim of following best corporate governance practice, all Directors, save for Margaret, are standing for re-election by the shareholders at this year's AGM.

Having considered the performance and contribution made by each of the Directors standing for re-election, each of these Directors continues to demonstrate that they remain committed to the role, continues to be an effective and valuable member of the Board and is able to dedicate sufficient time to their duties.

The Directors also believe that the Board continues to include an appropriate balance of experience and skills and provides effective leadership for the Company. The Board has a variety of skills which include significant financial experience, extensive knowledge of the ventilation industry, sustainability matters, and extensive governance experience with a wide range of experience of public companies listed on the London Stock Exchange.

In addition, the Board has determined that, in its judgement, all of the independent Non-Executive Directors being proposed for re-election meet the independence criteria prescribed in the Code as all are independent in character and judgement and there are no relationships or circumstances which are likely to affect, or could appear to affect, their judgement.

Biographies of each of the Directors seeking re-election can be found on pages 94 and 95 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2024, in the Appendix to this Notice of AGM, and on the Company's website, www.volutiongroupplc.com.

Resolution 10 – To appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's auditor

The Company is required to appoint an auditor at each general meeting at which accounts are laid before shareholders, to hold office until the next such meeting.

This resolution proposes the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting.

Resolution 11 – To authorise the Audit Committee to determine the remuneration of the auditor

This resolution authorises the Audit Committee, in accordance with standard practice, to negotiate and agree the fees to be paid to the auditor.

Resolution 12 – Political donations and expenditure

The Company does not make, and does not intend to make, any political donations or incur political expenditure. However, the law in this area is widely drafted and could prohibit some activities (such as political lobbying and promoting changes in the law which the Board considers would be in the interest of the Company) unless the Company has first obtained shareholder approval.

This resolution therefore seeks authority to permit political donations and political expenditure in order to authorise activities which would be within the Company's ordinary business. The resolution also permits political donations made and political expenditure incurred by any subsidiary of the Company.

Resolution 13 – To authorise the Directors to allot ordinary shares

The authority in paragraph (a) of this resolution will authorise the Directors to allot the Company's unissued shares up to a maximum nominal amount of £659,964. This amount represents one-third of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 15 October 2024, the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice. In accordance with institutional guidelines issued by the Investment Association (IA), paragraph (b) of this resolution will allow the Directors to allot, including the shares referred to in paragraph (a), further of the Company's shares in connection with a pre-emptive offer by way of a rights issue up to a maximum nominal amount of £1,319,929, representing approximately two-thirds of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 15 October 2024. If this resolution is passed, this authority will expire at the end of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company which takes place the year after it is passed or on 31 January 2026, whichever is the earlier.

Although the Directors have no present intention to exercise this authority, it is considered prudent to maintain the flexibility it provides. If the Directors do exercise this authority, they intend to follow best practice as regards its use, as recommended by the IA. As at 15 October 2024, the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice, the Company held 2,010,556 ordinary shares in an Employee Benefit Trust, deemed to be treasury shares, representing 1.01% of the issued share capital.

Resolution 14 and 15 – To authorise the Directors to disapply pre-emption rights

If the Directors wish to allot new shares or other equity securities (or sell treasury shares) for cash pursuant to the authority under resolution 13, company law requires that these shares are first offered to shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings unless shareholders have given authority for the waiver of their statutory pre-emption rights by way of special resolution. It may, in certain circumstances, be in the best interests of the Company to allot shares (or grant rights over shares) or sell treasury shares for cash without first offering them to shareholders in proportion to their holdings. As a result, in accordance with the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles 2022 on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights (Statement of Principles 2022), the Directors are seeking authority to disapply statutory pre-emption rights in two separate special resolutions:

• the first, resolution 14, seeks authority for the Directors, pursuant to the allotment authority given by resolution 13, to disapply pre-emption rights and: (i) issue shares (or sell treasury shares) for cash in connection with pre-emptive offers and offers to holders of other equity securities if required by the rights of those securities or as the Directors consider necessary; and (ii) issue shares or sell treasury shares for cash (otherwise than pursuant to (i) above) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £197,989 representing approximately 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital; and
• the second, resolution 15, seeks authority for the Directors to disapply pre-emption rights and allot new shares and other equity securities pursuant to the allotment authority given by resolution 13, or sell treasury shares for cash, up to a further aggregate nominal amount of £197,989, representing approximately an additional 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, but only for the purposes of financing a transaction which the Directors determine to be an acquisition or a specified capital investment, as contemplated by the Statement of Principles 2022.

The aggregate nominal amounts above represent approximately 10% respectively of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 15 October 2024, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice.

Resolutions 14 and 15 are in line with the disapplication authorities permitted by the Statement of Principles 2022. This allows a board to allot shares for cash otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer (i) up to 10% of a company's issued ordinary share capital for use on an unrestricted basis, and (ii) up to an additional 10% of issued ordinary share capital in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment which is announced contemporaneously with the allotment, or which has taken place in the preceding 12 month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the allotment.

The Directors have no present intention of exercising any of the authorities granted by resolutions 14 or 15 but they consider their grants to be appropriate and in the best interests of the Company in order to preserve maximum flexibility in the future. The Company intends to renew these authorities annually.

Both authorities will expire on the earlier of either the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or the close of business on 31 January 2026.

As at 15 October 2024 being the latest practicable date before the publication of this Notice, the Company held 2,010,556 ordinary shares of the Company in treasury representing 1.01% of the total ordinary share capital in issue (excluding treasury shares) at that date.

Resolution 16 – Authority for the Company to purchase its own shares

This resolution is to authorise the Company to buy back up to 19,798,944 Ordinary Shares. The authority will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company which takes place the year after it is passed or on 31 January 2026, whichever is the earlier. The Board intends to seek renewal of this authority at subsequent Annual General Meetings in accordance with current best practice.

The resolution specifies the maximum number of Ordinary Shares which may be purchased (representing 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 15 October 2024) (excluding treasury shares) and the maximum and minimum prices at which they may be bought, exclusive of expenses, reflecting the requirements of the Act and the UK Listing Rules.

The Directors have no current intention to exercise the authority given by this resolution, but will keep the matter under review. The granting of this authority should not be taken to imply that any Ordinary Shares will be purchased. No purchase of Ordinary Shares will be made unless it is expected that the effect will be to increase earnings per share, as well as all other relevant factors, and the Directors consider it to be in the best interests of shareholders.

Under the Act, the Company is allowed to hold its own shares in treasury following a buy back, instead of having to cancel them. This gives the Company the ability to re-issue treasury shares quickly and cost effectively and provides the Company with additional flexibility in the management of its capital base. Such shares may be resold for cash or used to satisfy options issued to employees pursuant to the Company's employees share plans but all rights attaching to them, including voting rights and any right to receive dividends, are suspended whilst they are held in treasury. If the Board exercises the authority conferred by this resolution, the Company will have the option of either holding in treasury or of cancelling any of its own shares purchased pursuant to this authority and will decide at the time of purchase which option to pursue.

The total number of options to subscribe for shares outstanding at 15 October 2024, the latest practicable date before the publication of this Notice, was 3,296,434. This represents 1.66% of the issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) at that date. If the Company was to buy back the maximum number of Ordinary Shares permitted pursuant to this resolution, then the total number of options to subscribe for Ordinary Shares outstanding at 15 October 2024 would represent 1.85% of the reduced issued share capital.

Resolution 17 – Notice period for general meetings, other than Annual General Meetings

Under the Act, the notice period required for all general meetings of the Company is 21 days. Annual General Meetings will always be held on at least 20 working days' notice, but shareholders can approve a shorter notice period for other general meetings. This resolution would, if passed, allow the Company flexibility to call general meetings, other than Annual General Meetings, on not less than 14 clear days' notice. If approved, it will be effective until the Company's next Annual General Meeting, when it is intended that a similar resolution be proposed.

The shorter notice period would not be used as a matter of routine, but only where the flexibility was merited by the business of the meeting and was thought to be in the interests of the shareholders as a whole.

Note that changes to the Act mean that, in order to be able to call a general meeting on less than 21 clear days' notice, the Company must make a means of electronic voting available for all shareholders for that meeting.

Administrative Notes in Connection with the Annual General Meeting

1. Attending the Annual General Meeting in person

If you wish to attend the Annual General Meeting in person, you should arrive at the venue in good time to allow your attendance to be registered. It is advisable to have some form of identification with you as you may be asked to provide evidence of your identity to the Company's registrar, Equiniti Limited (the Registrar), prior to being admitted to the Annual General Meeting.

2. Appointment of proxies

Members are entitled to appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of their rights to attend, speak and vote at the Annual General Meeting. A proxy need not be a member of the Company but must attend the Annual General Meeting to represent a member. To be validly appointed, a proxy must be appointed using the procedures set out in these notes and in the notes to the accompanying Form of Proxy. If members wish their proxy to speak on their behalf at the Meeting, members will need to appoint their own choice of proxy (not the Chair of the Annual General Meeting) and give their instructions directly to them.

Members can only appoint more than one proxy where each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. Members cannot appoint more than one proxy to exercise the rights attached to the same share(s). If a member wishes to appoint more than one proxy, they should contact the Registrar by telephone on 0371 384 2030. Lines are open 8.30 am to 5.30 pm, Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays in England and Wales). The Equiniti overseas helpline number is +44 (0) 121 415 7047. A member may instruct their proxy to abstain from voting on any resolution to be considered at the Annual General Meeting by marking the "Vote withheld" option when appointing their proxy. It should be noted that a vote withheld is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "For" or "Against" the resolution. The appointment of a proxy will not prevent a member from attending the Annual General Meeting and voting in person if they wish. A person who is not a member of the Company but who has been nominated by a member to enjoy information rights does not have a right to appoint any proxies under the procedures set out in these notes and should read note 9 below.

3. Appointment of a proxy using a Form of Proxy

A Form of Proxy for use in connection with the Annual General Meeting is enclosed. To be valid, a Form of Proxy or other instrument appointing a proxy, together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed or a certified copy thereof, must be received by post or (during normal business hours only) by hand by the Registrar at Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 6DA no later than 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time of the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment of that Meeting. If you do not have a Form of Proxy and believe that you should have one, or you require additional Forms of Proxy, please contact the Registrar. Amended instructions must also be received by the Registrar by the deadline for receipt of Forms of Proxy.

4. Appointment of a proxy through CREST

CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual and by logging on to the following website: www.euroclear.com. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed (a) voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instruction, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the Registrar (ID RA19) no later than 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time of the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment of that Meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the Registrar is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s) should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will, therefore, apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions.

It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member, or has appointed (a) voting service provider(s), to procure that their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting system providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 (as amended).

5. Appointment of a proxy by joint holders

In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint one or more proxies, only the purported appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted.
