Letter from the Chair of the Board

AMIGO HOLDINGS PLC

(Incorporated in England and Wales with Registered No. 10024479) Registered office: Nova, 118-128 Commercial Road, Bournemouth, BH2 5LT

Directors:

Jonathan Roe – Chair of the Board Maria Darby-Walker – Non-Executive Director and Senior Independent Director Michael Bartholomeusz – Non-Executive Director Jerry Loy – Non-Executive Director Danny Malone – Chief Executive Officer Kerry Penfold – Chief Financial Officer

16 February 2023

Dear Shareholder,

Notice of General Meeting

I am writing to you with details of a General Meeting which we are holding at Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel, 105 St Michael's Road, Bournemouth BH2 5DU, on Wednesday 8 March 2023 at 10.00am. The formal Notice of General Meeting is set out on page 4 of this document. Explanatory notes are set out on pages 5 to 6 of this document.

Under the Companies Act 2006, where the value of a company's net assets are half or less of its called-up share capital, the directors are required to call a general meeting to consider whether any, and if so what, steps should be taken to address the situation.

As at 31 March 2022, the Company, on a standalone basis, had net liabilities of £43.7 million and called-up share capital of £1.2 million, as shown in the Company's statement of financial position at such date. The Board confirms that the value of the net assets of the Company, on a standalone basis, continues to be less than half of the Company's called-up share capital. This does not relate to the Company's consolidated statement of financial position which, as at 31 March 2022, showed net assets of £47.9 million, significantly exceeding the Company's called-up share capital of £1.2 million, and which the Board confirms continues to exceed the Company's called-up share capital.

This position has arisen because the carrying value of subsidiaries in the accounts of the Company has been impaired in the period. The impairment resulted from comparing the lower of the fair value of the subsidiary companies, as calculated using the share price of the Company as a proxy for market value and the carrying value of net assets on the Company's consolidated statement of financial position. The impairment review performed in connection with the Company's financial statements for the financial year ended 31 March 2022 resulted in an impairment charge of £47.6 million to the Company's investment in subsidiaries as at 31 March 2022, which reduced the Company's net assets position.

The Board is calling the General Meeting under the requirements of s.656 of the Companies Act 2006, but shareholders should note that the value of the Company's standalone net assets relative to the Company's paid up share capital, as described above, is not a new development.

In light of the above, the Board does not consider it necessary to propose any resolutions in relation to this matter at the General Meeting, which is therefore for discussion only. The main items on the agenda will be the Company's capital position and the steps the Board have taken, and are taking, to remedy this, namely the Company's ongoing capital raise process (the "Capital Raise") and the Amigo group's Scheme of Arrangement ("Scheme"). The Board welcomes dialogue with shareholders and the General Meeting will provide a forum to discuss latest developments. More information about the developments on the ongoing Capital Raise will be provided in the quarterly results statement for the three month period to 31 December 2022 which is due to be released on Thursday 23 February 2023.

I would also like to draw the attention of shareholders to the fact that the Board has a responsibility to switch the business to the Fallback Solution (an orderly wind-down) under the Scheme immediately if it does not expect that the Company will be able to complete the Capital Raise by 26 May 2023. This is in order to preserve cash resources for creditors. This means that a decision could be made at any time, including before the date of the General Meeting, to put Amigo into the Fallback Solution in the event it becomes clear, or the Board does not expect that, the Capital Raise will be completed by 26 May 2023. The Board also has responsibility not to incur undue costs on any contingency if it does not expect that the Company will be able to complete the Capital Raise by 26 May 2023.

Attendance at the General Meeting

It is the Company's intention that shareholders will be able to attend the General Meeting, in person, should you so wish. The General Meeting will be held in the Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel, 105 St Michael's Road, Bournemouth BH2 5DU. To accommodate as many shareholders as possible who cannot come to the General Meeting in person and the requirements of those who do not feel comfortable with attending a public meeting, the Company will also provide a webcast for shareholders to be able to listen to and view the General Meeting. As in previous meetings we have recently held this way, we would ask those attending remotely to submit detailed questions to the Board in advance of the General Meeting by emailing [email protected], including their full name and investor code (IVC number). In addition, we will endeavour to address questions submitted during the meeting using the 'chat' facility on the zoom link.

No Voting

As described above, the Board is not proposing any resolutions in relation to this matter at the General Meeting, which is for discussion only. Shareholders can, however, appoint and register a proxy to attend and speak on their behalf at the General Meeting. Proxy appointments should be made electronically at www.signalshares.com. Further details are set out in the notes to this Notice of General Meeting. To be valid, proxies must be received by no later than 10 a.m. on Monday 6 March 2023.

Yours faithfully

Jonathan Roe Chair of the Board
