I am pleased to enclose the Notice of Annual General Meeting (the "AGM" or the "Meeting") of Pantheon International Plc (the "Company") which will be held at 10-11 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AH at 10.30 a.m. on Wednesday 15 October 2025.

If you would like to vote on the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM and you hold your shares in certificated form, you may appoint a proxy electronically via the Investor Centre app or web browser at https://uk.investorcentre.mpms.mufg.com/ or, if you hold your shares in CREST, you may appoint a proxy via the CREST system and if you are an institutional investor you may also be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform. Notice of your appointment of a proxy should reach the Company's registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets (the "Registrar"), by no later than 10.30 a.m. on 13 October 2025. If you hold your shares through a nominee service, please contact the nominee service provider regarding the process for appointing a proxy.
Further details and instructions regarding the appointment of a proxy are set out in the "Administrative Notes in connection with the Annual General Meeting" on pages 7 and 8 of this document.
You may request a hard copy form of proxy directly from the Company's registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets by calling +44 (0)371 664 0300 or by email at shareholderenquiries@cm. mpms.mufg.com. Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. Calls from outside the United Kingdom will be charged at the applicable international rate. Lines are open between 9.00 a.m. – 5.30 p.m., on Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays in England and Wales. We strongly recommend voting electronically.
The Company's Articles of Association (the "Articles") stipulate that resolutions put to the vote of a meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless before, or on the declaration of the result of, the show of hands a poll is duly demanded. In line with the Articles, the Chair has requested that voting on all resolutions put to the 2025 AGM would take place by poll.
On a poll every member present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for every share held. The results of the AGM 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.
Resolutions 1 to 14 will be proposed as ordinary resolutions. An ordinary resolution requires a simple majority of votes cast, whether in person or by proxy, to be cast in favour of the resolution for it to be passed. Resolutions 15 to 17 will be proposed as special resolutions. A special resolution requires a majority of not less than 75% of the votes cast, whether in person or by proxy, to be cast in favour of the resolution for it to be passed.
The Directors are required to present the annual report and audited financial statements, which incorporate the Directors' Report and Auditor's Report, to the Meeting. These are contained in the Company's Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 May 2025 (the "Annual Report").
In accordance with the requirements of the remuneration reporting regime which came into force on 1 October 2013, the Board is required to give notice to shareholders of the intention to propose an ordinary resolution to approve the Directors' Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 31 May 2025. This is an advisory resolution and therefore is not binding. The Directors' Remuneration Report is set out in the Annual Report.
A binding ordinary resolution approving the Directors' Remuneration Policy was last approved by shareholders at the AGM held on 18 October 2022. As it is the third year since the Directors' Remuneration Policy was last approved by shareholders, an Ordinary Resolution will be proposed at the AGM to approve Directors' Remuneration Policy, which is set out in the Annual Report.
The Articles require that at every Annual General Meeting, any Director who has been a Director of the Company at each of the two proceeding Annual General Meetings and who was not appointed by the Company at a general meeting shall retire and seek re-election. Notwithstanding this, the Board has decided that all Directors should be subject to annual election by shareholders and all Directors, apart from Mr Burgess who will retire following the AGM, will therefore seek re-election, or election as relevant, at the forthcoming AGM.
The Board carries out an annual review of the performance of each Director who acted during the year, of the Board as a whole and of each of the Board Committees. In reviewing the contribution of each Director, the Board considered the experience of each Director (as set out in the individual Directors' biographies in the Company's Annual Report and also available on the Company's website at www.piplc.com) and the ways in which they contributed to the Board during the year. Having considered the findings of the annual review, the Board considers that all Directors contribute effectively, possess the necessary skills and experience and continue to demonstrate commitment to their roles as Non-Executive Directors of the Company.
At each meeting at which the Company's financial statements are presented to its shareholders, the Company is required to appoint an auditor to serve until the next such meeting. The Board, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, recommends the re-election of Ernst & Young LLP and this will be proposed to the AGM as Resolution 12. Resolution 13 authorises the Audit Committee to determine the auditor's remuneration.
The purpose of Resolution 14 is to grant the Board the authority to allot ordinary shares in accordance with Section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act") up to an aggregate nominal value of £9,911,619, representing approximately one third of the issued ordinary share capital at the date of the Notice of AGM. As at the date of this Notice of AGM, the Company did not hold any shares in treasury.
While the Directors have no present intention of exercising this authority, they consider it important to have the maximum flexibility commensurate with good corporate governance guidelines, to raise finance to enable the Company to respond to investment opportunities, market developments and conditions.
No ordinary shares will be issued for cash at a price less than the prevailing net asset value per ordinary share at the time of issue pursuant to this authority. This authority shall expire at the conclusion of the Company's next Annual General Meeting to be held in 2026.
Resolution 15 is a special resolution which is being proposed to authorise the Directors to disapply the pre-emption rights of existing shareholders in relation to issues of ordinary shares under Resolution 14 (being in respect of ordinary shares up to an aggregate nominal value of £1,486,742, representing up to approximately 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at the date of the Notice of AGM), at a price per share not less than the most recently calculated net asset value per share at the time of issue (or sale) of such shares.
This authority shall expire at the conclusion of the Company's next Annual General Meeting to be held in 2026.
The Directors do not intend to allot or sell shares pursuant to Resolutions 14 and 15 other than to take advantage of opportunities in the market as they arise and will only do so if they believe it to be advantageous to the Company's existing shareholders and when it would not result in any dilution of the net asset value per share (owing to the fact that no ordinary shares will be issued or sold for a price less than the prevailing net asset value per ordinary share).
Resolution 16 is a special resolution that will grant the Company authority to make market purchases of up to 66,526,200 ordinary shares, representing approximately 14.99% of the ordinary shares in issue as at the date of the Notice of AGM.
The maximum price which may be paid for each ordinary share must not be more than the higher of; (i) 5% above the average of the mid-market values of the ordinary shares for the five business days before the purchase is made and (ii) the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out. The minimum price which may be paid for each ordinary share is the nominal value of an ordinary share.
As at 29 July 2025, there are no outstanding warrants or options to subscribe for shares in the Company.
The Directors believe that the discount to net asset value at which ordinary shares trade in the market may present an attractive investment opportunity relative to new investment commitments. In such circumstances, the Directors may cause the Company to undertake targeted buybacks of ordinary shares instead of, or in addition to, new investments as a means of utilising cash generated from the Company's portfolio.
Any buyback would only be undertaken in circumstances where the Directors believe that it would increase the net asset value per share. The Company will consider holding any of its own shares which it purchases pursuant to the authority to be conferred by Resolution 16, if passed, as treasury shares rather than cancelling them if the Directors determine in connection with any such purchase that it would be advantageous for the Company to do so.
This authority shall expire at the conclusion of the Company's next Annual General Meeting to be held in 2026.
Resolution 17 is a special resolution that will give the Directors the ability to convene general meetings, other than annual general meetings, on a minimum of 14 clear days' notice. In accordance with the requirements of the Articles, the Company will offer shareholders an electronic voting facility at each general meeting convened on such shorter notice period. The minimum notice period for annual general meetings will remain at 21 clear days, in accordance with the Articles. This authority would provide the Company with flexibility where action needs to be taken quickly but will only be used where the Directors consider it in the best interests of shareholders to do so and the matter is required to be dealt with expediently.
This authority shall expire at the conclusion of the Company's next Annual General Meeting in 2026.
Full details of the above resolutions are contained in the Notice of AGM. 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 Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of all the resolutions, as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings of shares.
Yours sincerely
Chair Pantheon International Plc 30 July 2025
(Incorporated in England and Wales under the Act with registered number 02147984)

Unless renewed, varied or revoked, the authority hereby conferred shall expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the date occurring 18 months from the date on which this Resolution is passed, whichever is the earlier, save that the Company may, prior to such expiry, enter into a contract to purchase ordinary shares which will or may be completed or executed wholly or partly after such expiry and may make a purchase of ordinary shares in pursuance of any such contract.

Company Secretary 30 July 2025
Waystone Group, Broadwalk House, Southernhay West, Exeter, United Kingdom, EX1 1TS
If you wish to attend the Annual General Meeting in person, you should arrive at the venue for the Annual General Meeting in good time to allow your attendance to be registered. Please ensure that you have some form of identification with you as you may be asked to provide evidence of your identity to the Company's registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets (the "Registrar"), prior to being admitted to the Annual General Meeting. The Board encourages shareholders to vote electronically and to appoint the Chair of the meeting as their proxy with their voting instructions.
A member entitled to attend this Meeting may attend the Meeting in person or may appoint one or more persons as his/her proxy to attend, speak and/or vote on his/her behalf. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. The appointment of a proxy will not prevent a member from attending the Meeting and voting in person if he/she so wishes. Unless otherwise indicated on the Form of Proxy, CREST, Proxymity or any other electronic voting instruction, the proxy will vote as they think fit or, at their discretion, withhold from voting. A member present in person or by proxy shall have one vote on a show of hands and on a poll every member present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for every Ordinary Share of which he/she is the holder.
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 must complete a separate proxy form for each proxy and specify against the proxy's name the number of shares over which the proxy has rights. If you are in any doubt as to the procedure to be followed for the purpose of appointing more than one proxy you must contact the Company's Registrars, MUFG Corporate Markets.
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.
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 11 below.

You may request a hard copy form of proxy directly from the Registrar by calling +44 (0)371 664 0300 or by email at [email protected]. Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. Calls from outside the United Kingdom will be charged at the applicable international rate. Lines are open between 9.00 a.m. – 5.30 p.m., on Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays in England and Wales. 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 mail or (during normal business hours only) by hand by the Registrar at MUFG Corporate Markets, PXS 1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL no later than 10.30 a.m. on 13 October 2025 (being the time which is 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time of the Annual General Meeting) or 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before any adjournment of that Meeting.
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 & International 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, MUFG Corporate Markets (ID RA10), no later than 10.30 a.m. on 13 October 2025 (being the time which is 48 hours before (excluding non-working days) the time of the Annual General Meeting) or 48 hours before (excluding non-working days) 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 message. 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).
If you are an institutional investor, you may be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged no later than 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time of the AGM or any adjournment of that Meeting in order to be considered valid. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's associated terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by them and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy. An electronic proxy appointment via the Proxymity platform may be revoked completely by sending an authenticated message via the platform instructing the removal of your proxy vote.
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. Seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders stand in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding.
Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives. Members can only appoint more than one corporate representative where each corporate representative is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. Members cannot appoint more than one corporate representative to exercise the rights attached to the same share(s).

adjourned meeting). Changes to the register of members after the relevant deadline will be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to vote at the Annual General Meeting.
The Company's Articles stipulate that resolutions put to the vote of a meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless before, or on the declaration of the result of, the show of hands a poll is duly demanded.

As at 29 July 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice) the Company's issued share capital consisted of 443,803,870 ordinary shares, carrying one vote each.
