Wednesday, 10 September 2025 at 11:00 a.m.

Notice is hereby given that the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of ProCook Group plc (Company) will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, 10 September 2025 at the Company's registered office, ProCook, 10 Indurent Park, Gloucester, GL10 3EZ, to consider, and if thought fit, to pass the resolutions set out below. Resolutions 1 to 12 are proposed as ordinary resolutions and 13 to 16 as special resolutions.

To enable shareholders to follow proceedings remotely, the AGM will be broadcast live on the Investor Meet Company platform. Investors can sign up to Investor Meet Company for free and add the Company via the following link: www. investormeetcompany.com/procook-group-plc/register-investor. Investors who already follow the Company on Investor Meet Company will be automatically invited.

Shareholders are invited to submit any questions in respect of the business of the AGM for the Board of Directors (Directors or Board) to consider. Questions may be submitted in advance via the Investor Meet Company dashboard, or at any time during the AGM over the Investor Meet Company platform following registration, and the Board will aim to respond to any such questions relevant to the business of the AGM.

Shareholders are encouraged to vote on the resolutions to be put to the AGM by proxy whether or not they intend to attend. Voting by proxy prior to the AGM does not affect shareholders' right to attend the AGM and vote in person should they so wish.

The Board of ProCook Group Plc considers all the proposed resolutions to be in the best interests of the Company and shareholders as a whole and, accordingly, recommends that shareholders vote in favour of all the resolutions proposed, as the Directors intend to do in respect of their own holdings.

• (d) the market purchase does not result in the number of the Company's Ordinary Shares in public hands falling below 10% of its issued share capital; and
• (e) unless previously renewed, varied or revoked, the authority conferred shall expire on the earlier of the date which is 15 months from the date of the resolution being passed and the conclusion of the Company's next annual general meeting save that the Company may before the expiry of the authority granted hereby, enter into a contract to purchase Ordinary Shares which may be executed wholly or partly after the expiry of such authority.

Resolution 16

That the Company be and is hereby generally and unconditionally authorised to hold general meetings (other than annual general meetings) on not less than 14 clear days' notice, such authority to expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or, if earlier, 15 months from the passing of this resolution.

Notes

Entitlement to Attend and Vote at the AGM

• 1. The Company specifies that only those members registered on the Company's register of members at 6:00 p.m. (London time) on 8 September 2025, or if the meeting is adjourned, at 6:00 p.m. on the day two business days prior to the adjourned meeting shall be entitled to attend and vote at the meeting.
• 1. Voting at the AGM will be conducted by way of a poll rather than on a show of hands. The Board believes a poll is more representative of shareholders' voting intentions because shareholders' votes are counted according to the number of shares held and all votes tendered are taken into account.
• 1. The total of the votes cast by shareholders for or against or withheld on each resolution will be announced via a Regulatory Information Service and published on the Company's investor website, www.procookgroup.co.uk, after the AGM.

Proxy Voting – General

• 1. If you are a shareholder of the Company at the time set out in Note 1 above, you are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at the meeting. You can only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes. You can appoint the Chair of the meeting as your proxy or another person of your choice. Your proxy does not need to be a member of the Company but must attend the meeting to represent you.
• 1. You may appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. You may not appoint more than one proxy to exercise rights attached to any one share.
• 1. In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).
• 1. Appointment of a proxy does not preclude you from attending the general meeting and voting in person. If you do vote in person at the meeting, that vote will override any votes previously submitted in respect of those shares.
• 1. A vote withheld is not a vote in law, which means that the vote will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against a resolution. If you do not select a voting option, your proxy may vote or abstain from voting at their discretion.

Proxy Voting – Procedures

• 1. To be valid proxy votes must be received by 11.00 a.m. on 8 September 2025 or if the meeting is adjourned, 48 hours (excluding any part of a day that is not a working day) before the adjourned meeting (Proxy Vote Closing Time).

Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. Calls outside the United Kingdom will be charged at the applicable international rate.

  2. in the case of shareholders holding their shares through CREST, by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service in accordance with the procedures set out in paragraphs 15 to 18 below; and no later than the Proxy Vote Closing Time); or
  3. If you are an institutional investor you may be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the Registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by the Proxy Vote Closing Time 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.
• 1. In the case of a member which is a company, the proxy form must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or an attorney for the company.
• 1. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the proxy form.
• 1. CREST members may vote by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service in accordance with the procedures set out below.
• 1. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the meeting (and any adjournment of the meeting) by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual (available from www.euroclear.com). CREST Personal Members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a 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.
• 1. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made by means of CREST 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 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 Proxy Vote Closing Time. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to mean 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. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
• 1. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear UK & International 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 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 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.

Proxy Voting – Changes and Revocations

• 1. To change your proxy instructions simply submit a new proxy appointment using the methods set out above. Note that the Proxy Vote Closing Time also applies in relation to amended instructions; any amended proxy appointment received after the Proxy Vote Closing Time will be disregarded. Where you have appointed a proxy using the hard copy proxy form and would like to change the instructions using another hard copy proxy form, please contact MUFG via the methods set out in Note 10 above. If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.
• 1. In order to revoke a proxy instruction you will need to inform the Company by contacting MUFG Corporate Markets on 0371 664 0300. Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. Calls outside the United Kingdom will be charged at the applicable international rate.

His tenure at Walmart included roles in merchandising and operations, before becoming Chief Operations Officer, and then President and CEO of Walmart Canada. Lee spent the early part of his career with Mobil Oil.

In compliance with Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Listing Rules relating to controlling shareholders, the election and re-election of the Independent Non-Executive Directors must be approved by a majority of both:

• 1. the shareholders of the Company as a whole; and
• 1. the independent shareholders of the Company (that is, the shareholders other than the Company's Concert Party).

For the purposes of the FCA Listing Rules, the Concert Party (being Michael O'Neill, Daniel O'Neill, Sarah O'Neill, and Daniel O'Neill and Sarah O'Neill as trustees of the O'Neill 2021 Discretionary Settlement) is a controlling shareholder as a result of it holding 75,435,918 shares (36,589,016 shares, 17,048,725 shares, 14,798,785 shares and 6,999,392 shares respectively).

Resolutions 6 and 8 relate to the re-election of David Stead and Meg Lustman respectively, who are the Directors seeking re-election that the Board has determined are Independent Non-Executive Directors (iNEDs) for the purposes of the UK Corporate Governance Code. These resolutions are proposed as ordinary resolutions and can be voted on by all shareholders of the Company. However, in addition to this, the votes cast by independent shareholders will be counted separately in order to assess whether the second tier of the test is satisfied.

In accordance with the FCA Listing Rules, if a resolution seeking to elect or re-elect an iNED is not approved by a majority of both the shareholders of the Company as a whole and the independent shareholders of the Company, the failed resolution may be put to shareholders of the Company, at a general meeting, which must be held between 90 and 120 days from the date of the original vote (being the date of the AGM or any adjournment of it).

In such circumstances, any iNED whose appointment has not been approved by both the shareholders of the Company as a whole and the independent shareholders of the Company will be treated as having been elected from the date of the original vote until either the date when they are elected, being the date of the subsequent general meeting, or the date of any announcement by the Board that the individual does not intend to stand for election.

If a subsequent general meeting does not take place, the appointment will be treated as ceasing 120 days from the date of the original vote. If a subsequent general meeting does take place and the further resolution is approved, the iNED will be treated as having been elected until the following annual general meeting of the Company. However, if at the subsequent general meeting the further resolution fails, the appointment of the iNED will cease on that date.

Resolutions 10 and 11: Reappointment of Auditor and Auditor's Remuneration (Ordinary Resolutions)

The Board, on the recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee, recommends the re-appointment of Forvis Mazars LLP as Auditor of the Company until the conclusion of the next general meeting at which the accounts are laid before the Company. Resolution 10 proposes the reappointment of Forvis Mazars LLP and Resolution 11 is a separate resolution which authorises the Audit and Risk Committee to determine the Auditor's remuneration.

Resolution 12: Authority to Allot (Ordinary Resolution)

This resolution deals with the Directors' authority to allot securities in accordance with section 551 of the Act and complies with the Investment Association Share Capital Management Guidelines issued in February 2023.

If passed, the resolution will authorise the Directors to allot:

• (i) Equity Securities up to a maximum nominal amount of £726,377 which represents approximately two thirds of the Company's issued ordinary shares (excluding treasury shares) as at 11 August 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document) (ISC) in relation to a fully pre-emptive offer, with authority for the Directors to deal pragmatically with legal, regulatory and logistical issues (e.g. fractions of shares and overseas securities laws). This maximum is reduced by the nominal amount of Equity Securities allotted under the authority set out in paragraph 12(a) of the resolution; and
• (ii) Equity Securities up to a maximum nominal amount of £363,188 otherwise which represents approximately one third of the Company's ISC. This amount will be reduced to the extent that Equity Securities allotted pursuant to paragraph 12(a) exceed £363,188 in nominal value.

The maximum nominal amount of securities which may be allotted under this resolution is therefore £726,377.

The authority granted by this resolution will expire on the earlier of the conclusion of next year's annual general meeting and the date which is 15 months after the resolution is passed.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the authority conferred by this resolution.

Resolutions 13 and 14: Disapplication of Statutory Pre-Emption Rights (Special Resolutions)

Under the Act, the Directors require shareholder authority to issue Equity Securities for cash without first offering them to the whole shareholder base pro rata to their existing holdings in accordance with the statutory requirements of section 561 of the Act. Resolutions 13 and 14 will, if passed, give the Directors this authority within the specified limitations. Resolution 13 provides a general authority and resolution 14 is in respect of allotments to finance acquisitions and capital investments.

These resolutions are in line with the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles 2022, the template resolutions published by the Pre-Emption Group in 2022 and the Share Capital Management Guidelines published by the Investment Association (as updated in February 2023) (Investor Guidelines). The Company notes the increase in the acceptable levels of authority set out in the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles 2022 and the Directors consider it appropriate for the Company to seek those enhanced approvals to maximise its ability to act swiftly in the interests of shareholders should a need or opportunity arise.

Put simply, the Directors will, if the resolutions are passed, have authority to freely allot up to 10% of the ISC for cash, with additional allotments for cash permitted only for:

• offers which are essentially pre-emptive but enable the Directors to make pragmatic decisions to deal with logistical and regulatory issues in connection with the offer (up to two thirds ISC in total);
• financing specified investments and acquisitions in line with the Investor Guidelines (up to 10% ISC); and
• specified follow-on offers in line with the Investor Guidelines (up to 20% of the nominal value of shares allotted under the original offer process (maximum 2% of the ISC)).

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the authority conferred by these resolutions.

The authorities set out in these resolutions will expire on the conclusion of next year's annual general meeting or, if earlier, on the date which is 15 months after the date the resolutions are passed.

Resolution 15: Market Purchase of the Company's Own Shares (Special Resolution)

The Directors intend to exercise this right only when, in light of market conditions prevailing at the time, they are satisfied that any purchase will increase the earnings per share of the ordinary share capital in issue after the purchase and, accordingly, that the purchase is in the interests of shareholders. The Directors will also give careful consideration to gearing levels of the Company and its general financial position. The purchase price would be paid out of distributable profits. This authority would not be used in the event that it would result in the Company's free float being lower than 10% of its ISC.

The Act permits certain listed companies to hold shares in treasury, as an alternative to cancelling them, following a purchase of own shares by the Company. Shares held in treasury may subsequently be cancelled, sold for cash or used to satisfy share options and share awards under the Company's employee share schemes.

Once held in treasury, the Company is not entitled to exercise any rights, including the right to attend and vote at meetings in respect of the shares. Further, no dividend or other distribution of the Company's assets may be made to the Company in respect of the treasury shares.

If the Directors exercise the authority conferred by Resolution 15, they may consider holding those shares in treasury, rather than cancelling them. The Directors believe that the ability to hold shares in treasury provides the Company with greater flexibility in the management of its share capital. The Directors would also consider using any such treasury shares to satisfy share options/awards under the Company's employees' share schemes.

The maximum number of shares which may be purchased under the proposed authority is 10,895,662 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company at 11 August 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice). The price paid for Ordinary Shares will not be less than the nominal value. The price paid will not be more than the higher of 5% above the average of the middle-market quotation of the Company's Ordinary Shares as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five business days preceding the day on which the shares are purchased and an amount equal to the higher of the price of the last independent trade of an ordinary share and the highest current independent bid for an ordinary share on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out.

As at 11 August 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice), the Company did not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury and there were no warrants over the Company's Ordinary Shares outstanding. As at 11 August 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice), there were 12,334,559 options to subscribe over the Company's Ordinary Shares outstanding. The proportion of ISC that they represented at that time was 11.3% and the proportion of ISC that they will represent if the full authority to purchase shares (existing and being sought) is used is 9.5%.

Resolution 15 will be proposed as a special resolution to provide the Company with the necessary authority to purchase its Ordinary Shares. If the resolution is passed, the authority will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or, if earlier, 15 months from the passing of this resolution, unless renewed before that time.

Resolution 16: Notice of General Meetings other than Annual General Meetings (Special Resolution)

Under the Act, the notice period required for all general meetings of the Company is 21 clear days. The Company's annual general meetings will always be held on at least 21 clear days' notice, but shareholders can approve a shorter notice period for other general meetings. Resolution 16, if passed, authorises the calling of general meetings other than an annual general meeting on not less than 14 clear days' notice, and will be effective until the Company's next annual general meeting, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed. 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 to all shareholders for that meeting. The flexibility offered by this resolution will be used where, taking into account the circumstances and noting the recommendations of the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Directors consider this appropriate in relation to the business to be considered at the meeting and in the interests of the Company and shareholders as a whole.
