NOTICE OF THE 2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder,

Notice of Annual General Meeting

The third Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held on Tuesday, 21 September 2021 at 11.00 a.m.

It is hoped that it will be possible to hold this year's meeting in a normal format, at the offices of Frostrow Capital LLP, 25 Southampton Buildings, London WC2A 1AL. However, it is possible that the UK Government will continue to mandate restrictions on public gatherings. In either case, the Board strongly encourages all shareholders to register their votes in advance by voting online using the Registrar's portal, www.signalshares.com or, if they are not held directly, by instructing the nominee company through which you hold your shares.

The Directors consider that all the resolutions detailed in the formal notice are in the best interests of the Company and the shareholders taken as a whole and therefore unanimously recommend to shareholders that they vote in favour of each resolution, as the directors intend to do in respect of their own holdings. We have not included paper forms of proxy to accompany the Notice of Annual General Meeting (the "Notice"). Shareholders can vote online by visiting www.signalshares.com and following instructions. If you require assistance with this or a hard copy form of proxy please contact our registrar, Link Group, whose contact details are set out on page 79 of the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2021 (the "Annual Report").

The Notice of the Annual General Meeting is set out on pages 2 to 5 of this document. Further details of each of the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting are set out in the explanatory notes on pages 6 and 7. I also refer you to the Annual Report, which is available on the Company's website www.augmentum.vc.

Yours faithfully

Neil England Chairman Augmentum Fintech plc

NOTICE OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING continued

Notes

As permitted by applicable law, some of the rights detailed below are varied in respect of the upcoming Annual General Meeting of the Company due to the present circumstances regarding the Coronavirus pandemic.

• 1. Members are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of their rights to attend and to speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting. A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the meeting provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that shareholder. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
• 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 the resolutions. If no voting indication is given, a proxy may vote or abstain from voting at his/her discretion. A proxy may vote (or abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the meeting.

A proxy may be appointed by going to www.signalshares.com or by requesting a paper proxy from our registrars Link Group.

• 1. To be valid any proxy form or other instrument appointing a proxy must be completed and signed and received by post or (during normal business hours only) by hand at Link Group, 10th Floor, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL no later than 11.00 a.m. on Friday, 17 September 2021.
• 1. In the case of a member which is a company, the instrument appointing a proxy must be executed under its seal or signed on its behalf by a duly authorised officer or attorney or other person authorised to sign. Any power of attorney or other authority under which the instrument is signed (or a certified copy of it) must be included with the instrument.
• 1. The return of a completed proxy form, other such instrument or any CREST Proxy Instruction (as described below) will not prevent a shareholder attending the meeting and voting in person if he/she wishes to do so.
• 1. Any person to whom this notice is sent who is a person nominated under section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 to enjoy information rights (a "Nominated Person") may, under an agreement between him/her and the shareholder by whom he/she was nominated, have a right to be appointed (or have someone else appointed) as a proxy for the meeting. If a Nominated Person has no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it, he/she may, under any such agreement, have a right to give instructions to the shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights.
• 1. The statement of the rights of shareholders in relation to the appointment of proxies in paragraph 1 above does not apply to Nominated Persons. The rights described in that paragraph can only be exercised by shareholders of the Company.
• 1. Pursuant to regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001, only shareholders registered on the register of members of the Company (the "Register of Members") by close of business on Friday, 17 September 2021 (or, in the event of any adjournment, by close of business on the date which is two days before the time of the adjourned meeting) will be entitled to attend and vote or be represented at the meeting in respect of shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to the Register of Members after that time will be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.
• 1. As at 11 June 2021 (being the nearest practical date prior to the publication of this Notice) the Company's issued share capital consists of 140,423,291 ordinary shares, carrying one vote each and therefore, the total voting rights in the Company as at 11 June 2021 are 140,423,291.
• 1. 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. 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 using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with the specifications of Euroclear UK and Ireland Limited ("CRESTCo"), 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 issuer's agent (ID RA10) no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the 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 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 CRESTCo 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, 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,

NOTICE OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING continued

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.

• 1. 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.
• 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 Register of Members in respect of the joint holding (the first named being the most senior).
• 1. Members who wish to change their proxy instructions should submit a new proxy appointment using the methods set out above. Note that the cut-off time for receipt of proxy appointments (see above) also applies in relation to amended instructions; any amended proxy appointment received after the relevant cut-off time will be disregarded.

Calls outside the United Kingdom will be charged at the applicable international rate. Lines are open between 9.00 a.m. – 5.30 p.m., Monday to Friday excluding public holidays in England and Wales).
• 1. If a member submits 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, members will need to inform the Company. Members should send a signed hard copy notice clearly stating their intention to revoke a proxy appointment to Link Group, 10th Floor, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL by 11.00 a.m. on Friday, 17 September 2021.

If a member attempts to revoke its proxy appointment but the revocation is received after the time for receipt of proxy appointments (see above) then, subject to paragraph 4, the proxy appointment will remain valid.

EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE RESOLUTIONS

Resolution 1 – To receive the Annual Report and Financial Statements

The Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2021 will be presented to the AGM. These Financial Statements accompanied this Notice of Meeting and shareholders will be given an opportunity at the meeting to ask questions.

Resolutions 2 to 4 – Re-election of Directors

Resolutions 2 to 4 deal with the re-election of each Director. Biographies of each of the Directors can be found on page 29 of the Annual Report.

The specific reasons why (in the Board's opinion) each Director's contribution is, and continues to be, important to the Company's long-term sustainable success are as follows:

Neil England

Neil has chaired several public and private companies, including an investment trust. In his leadership of the Board, he draws on his experience of international business and a career spanning companies varying in size from start-ups to global corporations.

Karen Brade

Karen has over 25 years of investment experience across a range of sectors and markets. She has served as a non-executive director of listed venture capital and investment trusts. She has a deep understanding of investment performance, market risk and corporate governance requirements.

David Haysey

David has over 40 years experience in the City, including both public and private company investment. His first-hand knowledge enables the Board to engage authoritatively with the Portfolio Manager on their investment strategy.

Resolution 5 – Remuneration Report

The Directors' Remuneration Report is set out on pages 41 to 43 of the Annual Report.

Resolution 6 and 7 – Re-appointment of auditors

Resolution 6 relates to the appointment of BDO LLP as the Company's independent auditors to hold office until the next Annual General Meeting of the Company and also authorises the Audit Committee to set their remuneration. Following the implementation of the Competition and Markets Authority order on Statutory Audit Services only the Audit Committee may negotiate and agree the terms of the auditors' service agreement.

Resolutions 8 and 9 – Issue of Shares

Ordinary Resolution 8 in the Notice of Annual General Meeting will grant the authority to allot unissued share capital up to an aggregate nominal amount of £140,423.29 (equivalent to 14,042,329 shares, or 10% of the Company's existing issued share capital on 11 June 2021, (being the nearest practical date prior to the publication of this Notice). Such authority will expire on the date of the next Annual General Meeting or after a period of 15 months from the date of the passing of the resolution, whichever is earlier. This means that the authority will have to be renewed at the next Annual General Meeting unless previously renewed.

When shares are to be allotted for cash, section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act") provides that existing shareholders have pre-emption rights and that the new shares must be offered first to such shareholders in proportion to their existing holding of shares. However, shareholders can, by special resolution, authorise the Directors to allot shares otherwise than by a pro rata issue to existing shareholders. Special Resolution 9 will, if passed, give the Directors power to allot for cash equity securities up to 10% of the Company's existing share capital on 11 June 2021, as if Section 551 of the Act does not apply. This is the same nominal amount of share capital which the Directors are seeking the authority to allot pursuant to Resolution 8. This authority will also expire on the date of the next Annual General Meeting or after a period of 15 months, whichever is earlier. This authority will not be used in connection with a rights issue by the Company.

The Directors intend to use the authority given by Resolutions 8 and 9 to allot shares and disapply pre-emption rights only in circumstances where this will be clearly beneficial to shareholders as a whole. Any shares issues under this authority will be issued at a premium to the prevailing net asset value per Share.

Resolution 10

Under section 724 of the Companies Act 2006 ("s724") the Company is permitted to buy back and hold Shares in treasury and then sell them at a later date for cash, rather than cancelling them. It is a requirement of s724 that such sale be on a pre-emptive, pro rata, basis to existing shareholders unless shareholders agree by special resolution to disapply such pre-emption rights. Accordingly, in addition to giving the Directors power to allot unissued share capital on a non pre-emptive basis pursuant to existing powers, if passed, will give the Directors authority to sell shares held in treasury on a non pre-emptive basis. The benefit of the ability to hold Treasury Shares is that such shares may be resold. This should give the Company greater flexibility in managing its share capital, and improve liquidity in its shares.

Any re-sale of Treasury Shares would only take place at a narrower discount to the net asset value per share than that at which they had been bought into treasury, and in any event at a discount no greater than 5% to the prevailing net asset value per share, and this is reflected in the text of Resolution 10. It is also the intention of the Board that sales from treasury would only take place when the Board believes that to do so would assist in the provision of liquidity to the market. The number of Treasury Shares which may be sold pursuant to this authority is limited to 10% of the Company's existing share capital on 11 June 2021 being the nearest practical date prior to the publication of this Notice or, if changed, the number representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of the meeting at which this resolution is passed. This authority will also expire on the date of the next Annual General Meeting or after a period of 15 months, whichever is earlier. There are currently no shares held in treasury.

EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE RESOLUTIONS continued

Resolution 11 – Share Repurchases

The principal aim of a share buy back facility is to enhance shareholder value by acquiring shares at a discount to net asset value, as and when the Directors consider this to be appropriate. The purchase of shares, when they are trading at a discount to net asset value per share, should result in an increase in the net asset value per share for the remaining shareholders. This authority, if conferred, will only be exercised if to do so would result in an increase in the net asset value per share for the remaining shareholders and if it is in the best interests of shareholders generally. Any purchase of shares will be made within guidelines established from time to time by the Board.

Under the current Listing Rules, the maximum price that may be paid on the exercise of this authority must not exceed the higher of (i) 105% of the average of the middle market quotations for the shares over the five business days immediately preceding the date of purchase and (ii) the higher 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 is 1 penny per share.

Resolution 12 - Amend the Company's Articles

The Board believes that virtual and/or hybrid meetings will allow for greater shareholder and stakeholder engagement over the coming years in a way that is more convenient for all parties, particularly if there is a recurrence of restrictions on physical meetings. This resolution is to adopt amended articles of association that permit this. There are no other amendments.

These changes to the articles of association will allow the Board to continue to fulfil its legal obligation to hold shareholder meetings irrespective of any legislation or government guidance preventing physical meetings taking place or limiting the number of people who may attend a physical meeting.

If the Board determines that a virtual or hybrid meeting is the most appropriate form of shareholder meeting in any circumstances, the Board will seek to ensure the meeting continues to fulfil its purpose of facilitating shareholder engagement and Board scrutiny and will observe any applicable codes of best practice.

If it appears to the chair of the general meeting that an electronic facility has become inadequate for the purposes referred to above then the chair may, without having to seek the consent of the meeting given that this may not be practicable in the circumstances, exercise his or her rights to manage the meeting (for example, under the Company's articles) to pause, interrupt or adjourn the general meeting. All business conducted at that general meeting up to the time of that adjournment (or an earlier time if determined by the chair to be appropriate) will be valid. The usual provisions of the articles relating to the adjournment of general meetings will apply to any such adjournment.

Resolution 13 – General Meetings

Special Resolution 11 seeks shareholder approval for the Company to hold general meetings (other than the AGM) on 14 clear days' notice.

The Company will only use this shorter notice period where it is merited by the purpose of the meeting and will endeavour to give at least 14 working days' notice if possible, in line with the recommendations of the UK Corporate Governance code.

Recommendation

The Board considers that the resolutions relating to the above items are in the best interests of shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends to the shareholders that they vote in favour of the above resolutions to be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting as they, as Directors, intend in respect of their own beneficial holdings totalling 228,217 Shares.
