(incorporated in the Isle of Man with company number 113389C)

9 October 2018

Dear Shareholder,

Annual General Meeting – 7 November 2018 at 11.00 am

The Directors of Hansard Global plc (the "Company") wish to take the opportunity at the forthcoming annual general meeting (the "Annual General Meeting"), notice of which appears in the document accompanying this letter, to propose the items of business summarised below. I set out below reasons why these proposals will be put to Shareholders.

If you would like to vote on the resolutions, but you are unable to attend the Annual General Meeting, please complete the proxy form attached to this notice and return it to the Isle of Man office of the Company's share registrars, Link Asset Services (Isle of Man), Clinch's House, Lord Street, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM99 1RZ by no later than 11.00 am on 5 November 2018.

1. Resolution to Authorise the Company to Purchase its Own Shares

The approval of Shareholders is sought for the Company to be authorised to purchase its own shares (up to a maximum of 5,000,000 shares), until whichever is the earlier of: (i) the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting in 2019 or (ii) 15 months after the date on which the proposed resolution is passed.

Shares will only be repurchased under the authority granted pursuant to this resolution if the Directors consider such purchases to be in the best interests of Shareholders generally. The authority will only be used after careful consideration, taking into account market conditions prevailing at the time, the constitution of the Company's existing shareholder base, other investment opportunities, appropriate gearing levels and the overall financial position of the Company.

2. Sanction the extension of the Authority to Allot Shares and disapplication of Pre-emption Rights

The Directors' authority to allot shares will expire on 7 November 2018 and it is proposed to renew this authority for the period commencing 8 November 2018 and ending on the date of the Company's next annual general meeting in 2019 or (if earlier) 15 months following the Annual General Meeting, subject to this authority being limited to 6,000,000 ordinary shares (being approximately 4.4% of the issued share capital of the Company).

3. Re-election of Directors

In accordance with the Articles of Association the Directors will each retire and seek re-election at the Annual General Meeting. The Board believes that the performance of the Directors continues to be effective and that they continue to demonstrate commitment to their roles. The Company therefore also considers each of the independent Directors to be an effective Director. None of the independent Directors seeking re-election have any existing or previous relationship with the Company, or its Board, nor any controlling shareholder of the Company or any associate of a controlling shareholder of the Company within the meaning of Listing Rule 13.8.17R(2).

Under the Listing Rules, independent Directors are required to be elected or re-elected by a majority of votes cast by independent shareholders as well as by a majority of votes cast by all shareholders. Therefore the votes cast by independent shareholders and all shareholders will be calculated separately and the relevant resolution will only be passed if a majority of votes cast by independent shareholders are in favour, in addition to a majority of votes cast by all shareholders being in favour. In the event that this formulation results in a resolution not being passed, another vote will be organised after 90 days. The resolutions impacted by the dual voting structure at the meeting are Resolutions 4 and 7.

Availability of Documents

Copies of the Company's Articles of Association will be available for inspection at the Company's registered office, the address of which appears above and at the offices of Panmure Gordon (UK) Limited, 3rd Floor, One New Change, London, EC4M 9AF during usual business hours on weekdays (weekends and public holidays excluded) until the conclusion of the Company's Annual General Meeting to be held on 7 November 2018. Alternatively, a copy may be obtained by contacting the Company Secretary at the above address or by telephoning (00 44) 1624 688000.

Relationship Agreement

As required by the Listing Rules the Company confirms that it has in place an agreement with Dr Polonsky CBE, as a controlling shareholder. It is available for inspection in the same way as the Company's Articles of Association.

Recommendation

The Directors consider that all the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Board will be voting in favour of the said resolutions and they unanimously recommend that you do so as well.

Yours faithfully,

Philip Gregory Chairman

Notes:

• 1. Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company. A member entitled to attend and vote at the above-mentioned meeting is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and, on a poll, vote in their stead. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. A form of proxy is enclosed with this Notice for use at the Annual General Meeting.
• 2. To be valid, forms of proxy duly completed, signed or sealed (as appropriate) and dated, together with any power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or any notarially certified copy thereof must be lodged by 11.00 am on 5 November 2018 at the Isle of Man office of the Company's share registrars, Link Asset Services (Isle of Man), Clinch's House, Lord Street, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM99 1RZ or not less than 48 hours before the time of any adjourned meeting. Lodgement of a form of proxy will not prevent a member from attending and voting in person.
• 1. The form of proxy must be executed by the member or their attorney duly authorised in writing and (in the case of an individual) must be signed by the individual or their attorney duly authorised in writing or (in the case of a corporation) either executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by a duly authorised officer or attorney of the corporation. A member may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the Annual General Meeting provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by them. To appoint more than one proxy you may photocopy this form. Please indicate the proxy holder's name and the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy (which, in aggregate, should not exceed the number of shares held by you). Please also indicate if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope. A failure to specify the number of shares each proxy appointment relates to or specifying a number in excess of those held by you may result in the appointment being invalid.
• 1. In the case of joint registered holders, the signature of one holder will be accepted and the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders. For this purpose, seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members of the Company in respect of the relevant joint holding.

The total number of issued ordinary shares in the Company on 8 October 2018, which is the latest practicable date before the publication of this document, is 137,557,079. On a vote by show of hands every member who is present has one vote and every proxy present who has been duly appointed by a member entitled to vote has one vote. On a poll vote every member who is present in person or by proxy has one vote for every ordinary share of which he is the holder.

Entitlement to attend and vote at the meeting, and the number of votes which may be cast at the meeting, will be determined by reference to the Company's register of members at close of business on 5 November 2018 or, if the meeting is adjourned, at close of business two days prior to the adjourned meeting (as the case may be). In each case, changes to the register of members after such time will be disregarded.

1. A member may appoint a proxy electronically either via the website run by Link Asset Services at www.signalshares.com or, if a member is a CREST member, by using the procedure described in paragraph 6 below.

Members may vote electronically, by no later than 11.00 am on 5 November 2018, by visiting www.signalshares.com. They will be asked to enter the Investor Code shown on their share certificate or dividend tax voucher and to agree to certain terms and conditions.

1. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by using the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the Annual General Meeting and any adjournment(s) thereof by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. 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 made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with CRESTCO's specifications and must contain information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message must be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID RA10) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified in this Notice. 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 issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.

CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that CRESTCO 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 his 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 service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

1. Copies of the existing Articles of Association of the Company will be available for inspection at the registered office of the Company and at the offices of Panmure Gordon (UK) Limited, 3rd Floor, One New Change, London, EC4M 9AF during usual business hours from the date of this Notice until the date of the Annual General Meeting and will also be available for inspection 15 minutes prior to, and during, the Annual General Meeting. Alternatively, a copy may be obtained by contacting the Company Secretary at Harbour Court, Lord Street, P.O. Box 192, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM99 1QL; by telephoning (00 44) 1624 688000.
