Dear Shareholder,

I am writing to give you details of the Company's annual general meeting which will be held at Esperanza, Paunguriai, Trakai District, Vilnius County 21282, Lithuania, on 24 September 2025 at 9.00 am (BST). The Board has decided again to hold a physical meeting to enable Shareholders to meet the Board and ask questions. The formal Notice of Meeting and an explanation of the business to be considered and voted on at the AGM are set out on pages 4 to 6 of this document. The explanatory notes for the business to be transacted at the AGM are set out on pages 7 to 9 of this document.

If it becomes necessary or appropriate to revise the arrangements for the AGM, further information will be made available on our website www.balticclassifieds.com/shareholder information and, where appropriate, announced to the London Stock Exchange via a regulatory information service. Please continue to monitor our website and announcements for any updates in relation to the arrangements for the AGM.

The Company strongly encourages Shareholders to submit any questions they would like to have answered at the AGM by emailing them to [email protected] in advance, so as to be received no later than 5.00 pm (BST) on 22 September 2025. If multiple questions on the same topic are received the Chair of the meeting may choose to provide a single answer to address questions on the same topic. Where it is not possible to answer any of the questions submitted prior to and during the AGM, the Directors will endeavour, where appropriate, to answer such questions by either publishing thematic responses on the Company's website at: www.balticclassifieds.com/shareholder information or providing a written response as soon as practicable following the AGM.

Voting

Your vote is important to us and you are encouraged to vote ahead of the AGM. If you would like to vote on the resolutions but cannot come to the AGM, you can appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, vote and speak at the AGM.

Attending in person: At the meeting itself, voting on all the proposed resolutions will be conducted on a poll rather than a show of hands, in line with recommended best practice. The Board believes that this results in a more accurate reflection of the views of Shareholders and ensures that their votes are recognised, whether or not they are able to attend the meeting. On a poll, each Shareholder has one vote for every share held. Shareholders of the Company will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, approve resolutions in respect of the matters set out on pages 4 to 6.

The results will be published on our website www.balticclassifieds.com/shareholder information as soon as is practicable after the AGM and they will also be released to the London Stock Exchange. Our corporate website provides more information about the Company including a copy of our full 2025 Annual Report and Accounts and all the latest Baltic Classifieds Group PLC news and regulatory announcements.

Voting by proxy: Shareholders may also appoint a proxy to vote on their behalf. As a Shareholder, you may:

(i) fill in the form of proxy enclosed with this document or download it from our website at: www.balticclassifieds.com/ shareholder-information and return it to the Company's Registrar as detailed in note note 3 on page 11 of this document;
(ii) appoint your proxy electronically as detailed in note 3 on page 11 of this document; or
(iii) if you are a CREST member, appoint your proxy through the CREST proxy appointment service as detailed in note 3 on page 11 of this document.

Shareholders who wish to appoint a proxy are recommended to appoint the Chair of the meeting as their proxy. Alternatively, you may appoint another person as your proxy in accordance with the above methods, however if such person is unable to attend, or is prevented from attending, the AGM your vote may not be cast. Please note that the deadline for the receipt by the Company's Registrar of all proxy appointments is 9.00 am (BST) on 22 September 2025.

Dividend

The Board is pleased to be recommending a final dividend of €2.6 cents per Ordinary Share. In connection with the final dividend the Company will offer a dividend currency election. Further details are provided on page 7 of this document.

Directors

All Directors will stand for re-election at the AGM, in line with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code 2024. The Board considers each Director to be fully effective and committed to their role and recommends them all for re-election by Shareholders. The Directors' biographies are found in the 2025 Annual Report and Accounts on pages 42 to 43.

Share Buyback

As announced at the Full Year Results on 3 July 2025, the Company is seeking the necessary authorities for the Board to continue its share buyback programme.

Explanatory notes

The following pages provide further details of the resolutions being proposed at the AGM.

Resolutions 1 to 18 (inclusive) are proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means that for each of these resolutions to be passed by members, more than 50% of the total votes validly cast must be in favour of the resolution. Resolutions 19 to 22 (inclusive) are proposed as special resolutions. For each of these resolutions to be passed, at least 75% of the total votes validly cast must be in favour of the resolution.

Resolution 1 – 2025 Annual Report and Accounts

The Board asks that Shareholders receive the reports of the Directors and auditor and the audited financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 30 April 2025.

Resolution 2 – Directors' Remuneration Report

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval of the Directors' Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 April 2025 (other than the Directors' Remuneration Policy), which can be found on pages 60 to 73 of the 2025 Annual Report and Accounts. The vote on Resolution 2 is advisory in nature and Directors' entitlement to remuneration is not conditional on it.

Resolution 3 – Directors' Remuneration Policy

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval of the new Directors' Remuneration Policy, which is set out on pages 62 to 69 of the 2025 Annual Report and Accounts. The vote on Resolution 3 is binding in nature. It is intended that this will take effect immediately after the AGM and will replace the existing policy that was approved by Shareholders in 2022 which is due to expire this year. Once the Directors' Remuneration Policy has been approved, the Company may not make a remuneration payment or payment for loss of office to a Director or former Director of the Company unless that payment is consistent with the approved Directors' Remuneration Policy, or has otherwise been approved by a shareholder resolution. It is anticipated that the Directors' Remuneration Policy will be in force for three years. Further details on the new Directors' Remuneration Policy, including any changes from the previous policy, are set out on pages 62 to 69 of the 2025 Annual Report and Accounts.

Resolution 4 – Declaration of dividend

The Board is recommending a final dividend for the financial year ended 30 April 2025 of €2.6 cents per Ordinary Share which can only be paid after the Shareholders at a general meeting have approved it. The AGM will be held on 24 September 2025.

If approved at the AGM, the final dividend will be paid on 17 October 2025 to Shareholders on the register of members of the Company at 5.00 pm (BST) on 12 September 2025.

Shareholders who wish to elect to receive the final dividend in pounds sterling (or wish to amend an existing election) will need to submit a completed application form to the Company's Registrar. CREST Participants should enter their dividend election via CREST in accordance with the CREST dividend election process.

The Company's Registrar must receive this by no later than 5.00 pm (BST) on 26 September 2025 otherwise any such election will only apply to subsequent dividends.

If you wish to make an election, please go to: balticclassifieds.com/shareholder information.

Shareholders with no alternative currency election in place as at close of business on 26 September 2025 will be defaulted to receive dividends in Euro.

The exchange rate used to translate the declared value in respect of the final dividend will be announced on 1 October 2025.

Resolutions 5 to 13 – Re-election of Directors

In accordance with the Company's articles of association and the recommendations in the UK Corporate Governance Code, all of the Directors will stand for re-election by the Shareholders. The Board believes that each Director standing for re-election brings considerable and wide-ranging skills and experience to the Board as a whole. All Directors proposed for re-election will be subject to an annual performance review and the Board confirms that they all make an effective and valuable contribution to the deliberations of the Board and demonstrate commitment to their roles.

Biographical details of our Directors are available on our website www.balticclassifieds.com/our-board and on pages 42 to 43 of the 2025 Annual Report and Accounts. It is the Board's view that these biographical details illustrate why each Director's contribution is, and continues to be, important to the Company's long-term sustainable success.

Resolutions 14 and 15 – Appointment and remuneration of the auditor

The Company is required at each general meeting at which accounts are presented to Shareholders to appoint an auditor to hold office until the next such meeting.

Resolution 14, which has been recommended to the Board by the audit committee, seeks the re-appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company's auditor. Resolution 15 proposes to give the audit committee authority to determine the remuneration of the auditor, for and on behalf of the Board.

Resolution 16 – Authority to make political donations/ incur political expenditure

Resolution 16 concerns Part 14 of the Companies Act 2006 which provides that political donations made by a company to political parties, other political organisations and independent election candidates or political expenditure incurred by a company must be authorised in advance by shareholders.

However, as a result of the wide definitions in the Companies Act 2006, normal expenditure (such as expenditure on organisations concerned with matters of public policy, law reform and representation of the business community) and business activities (such as communicating with the Government and political parties) might be construed as political expenditure or as a donation to a political party or other political organisation and fall within the restrictions of the Companies Act 2006. Accordingly, authority is being sought as a precaution to ensure that the Company's normal business activities do not infringe the Companies Act 2006. The Board has no intention of using this authority.

Resolution 16 seeks authority for the Company and its subsidiaries to make political donations to political parties or independent election candidates, to other political organisations, or to incur political expenditure up to an aggregate limit of £100,000 in the period ending at the close of business on 24 December 2026 or, if earlier, the conclusion of the next AGM. This resolution does not purport to authorise any particular donation or expenditure but is expressed in general terms as required by the Companies Act 2006 and is intended to authorise normal donations and expenditure. Under the Companies Act 2006, this authority may be for a period of up to four years. However, in line with corporate governance best practice, the Company seeks to renew the authority on an annual basis.

Any political donation made or political expenditure incurred which is in excess of £2,000 will be disclosed in the Company's annual report for next year, as required by the Companies Act 2006. The authority will not be used to make political donations within the normal meaning of that expression.

Resolution 17 – Authority to allot shares

The purpose of Resolution 17 is to authorise the Directors' powers to allot shares in the Company. Resolution 17, which is in line with the Investment Association's Share Capital Management Guidelines (as updated in February 2023), authorises the Directors:

(a) to allot Ordinary Shares (or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any securities into, Ordinary Shares) up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to £1,614,508 (representing 161,450,893 Ordinary Shares of £0.01 each). This amount represents 33.3% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 27 June 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the issue of the Notice of Meeting); and
(b) to allot Ordinary Shares in connection with a pre-emptive offer up to a further aggregate nominal amount equal to £1,614,508 (representing 161,450,893 Ordinary Shares of £0.01 each). This amount represents 33.3% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 27 June 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to issue of the Notice of Meeting).

The authorities sought in Resolution 17 are in substitution for all other existing authorities and are without prejudice to previous allotments made under such existing authorities. The authorities sought under this resolution will expire on the earlier of 24 December 2026 and the conclusion of the AGM of the Company held in 2026 (unless otherwise varied, revoked or renewed).

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the authorities sought under this resolution or allot shares other than pursuant to employee share plans. However, the Directors consider it desirable to have the maximum flexibility permitted by corporate governance guidelines to respond to market developments and to enable allotments to take place in appropriate circumstances. The Directors intend to take note of relevant corporate governance guidelines in the use of such powers in the event that such authority is exercised.

As at 27 June 2025 (being the latest practicable date before publication of this Notice of Meeting), the Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company in treasury.

Resolution 18 – Amendment to the Performance Share Plan

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to amend the PSP. The PSP is the long-term share incentive arrangement operated by the Company for the Executive Directors and other eligible employees. The proposed amendment is to increase the individual limits in rule 4.6(a) and remove rule 4.6(b) of the PSP. The change to the individual limits has been made to ensure that there is alignment between the PSP rules and the new Directors' Remuneration Policy (further details on the new Directors' Remuneration Policy are set out on pages 62 to 69 of the 2025 Annual Report and Accounts. Previously, the individual limit was 250% of base salary. Under the amended PSP, if approved, the individual limit would be 500% of base salary, meaning that an award could be granted to an eligible individual under the PSP over shares in the Company with a maximum value of 500% of that individual's base salary. The Company is also proposing to remove rule 4.6(b) of the PSP which allowed the Company to increase the individual limit to 300% in exceptional circumstances, as this rule would no longer be required.

Resolutions 19 and 20 – General and additional disapplication of pre-emption rights

These two resolutions will be proposed as separate special resolutions in line with institutional shareholder guidelines, including the Investment Association's Share Capital Management Guidelines and the Pre-Emption Group Principles.

If the Directors wish to allot new shares and other equity securities, or sell treasury shares, for cash (other than in connection with an employee share scheme), company law requires that these shares are offered first to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings.

Resolution 19 would, if passed, give the Directors the authority to allot Ordinary Shares (or sell any Ordinary Shares which the Company holds in treasury) for cash without complying with the pre-emption rights in the Companies Act 2006. This authority would be limited to:

(a) allotments or sales in connection with pre-emptive offers to ordinary Shareholders and holders of other equity securities if required by the rights of those shares or as the Board otherwise considers necessary;
(b) otherwise an aggregate nominal amount of £484,352 (representing 48,435,267 Ordinary Shares of £0.01 each) which is 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 27 June 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the issue of the Notice of Meeting); and
(c) otherwise an aggregate nominal amount of £96,870 (representing 9,687,053 Ordinary Shares of £0.01 each) which is 2% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 27 June 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the issue of the Notice of Meeting) for the purposes only of a follow-on offer as described in the Pre-Emption Group Principles.

Resolution 20 would, if passed, additionally allow non-pre-emptive issues in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Pre-Emption Group Principles, and which is announced contemporaneously with the allotment or which has taken place in the preceding 12 month period and is referred to in the announcement of the issue. The authority under Resolution 20 would be limited to:

(a) a nominal amount of £484,352 (representing 48,435,267 Ordinary Shares of £0.01 each) which is 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 27 June 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the issue of the Notice of Meeting); and
(b) a nominal amount of £96,870 (representing 9,687,053 Ordinary Shares of £0.01 each) which is 2% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 27 June 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the issue of the Notice of Meeting) for the purposes only of a follow-on offer as described in the Pre-Emption Group Principles.

The maximum nominal value of equity securities which could be allotted if the authorities in both Resolution 19 and Resolution 20 were used would be £1,162,444 which represents 24% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 27 June 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the issue of the Notice of Meeting).

The authority sought by the Directors in both Resolution 19 and Resolution 20 includes the ability to issue up to 2% of issued ordinary share capital in each case for the purposes of a follow-on offer. The Pre-Emption Group Principles provide for follow-on offers as a possible means of enabling smaller and retail shareholders in the Company to participate in a non-preemptive equity issue when it may not be possible (for timing or other reasons) for them to participate in a particular placing being undertaken. The Pre-emption Group Principles set out the expected features of any such follow-on offer, including in relation to qualifying shareholders, monetary caps on the amount qualifying shareholders can subscribe and the issue price of the shares.

In respect of Resolutions 19 and 20, the Directors confirm their intention to follow the shareholder protections in Part 2B of the Pre-Emption Group Principles as well as the expected features of a follow-on offer as set out in paragraph 3 of Part 2B of the Pre-Emption Group Principles.

The Board considers the authorities in these two resolutions to be appropriate in order to allow the Company flexibility to finance business opportunities or to conduct a pre-emptive offer or rights issue without the need to comply with the strict requirements of the statutory pre-emptive provisions. The Board has no present intention to make use of these authorities. The authorities will expire on the earlier of 24 December 2026 and the conclusion of the AGM of the Company to be held in 2026 (unless otherwise varied, revoked or renewed).

Resolution 21 – On-market purchase of own shares

Resolution 21, which will be proposed as a special resolution, seeks to give the Company authority to buy back its own Ordinary Shares in the market as permitted by the Companies Act 2006.

The authority limits the number of Ordinary Shares that could be purchased to a maximum of 48,435,267 Ordinary Shares (representing 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 27 June 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the issue of the Notice of Meeting)). This authority will expire on the earlier of 24 December 2026 and the conclusion of the AGM of the Company to be held in 2026 (unless otherwise varied, revoked or renewed).

The Directors will exercise this authority only when to do so would be in the best interests of the Company and of its Shareholders generally, and could be expected to result in an increase in the earnings per share of the Company.

Ordinary Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to this authority may either be held as treasury shares or cancelled by the Company and the number of Ordinary Shares reduced accordingly, depending on which course of action is considered by the Directors to be in the best interests of Shareholders at that time. Ordinary Shares held in treasury may be cancelled, sold for cash or used for the purposes of employee share plans.

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 those Ordinary Shares.

Furthermore, no dividend or other distribution of the Company's assets may be made to the Company in respect of the Ordinary Shares held in treasury. The minimum price, exclusive of expenses, which may be paid for an Ordinary Share is £0.01, its nominal value.

The maximum price, exclusive of expenses, which may be paid for an Ordinary Share is the higher of (i) an amount equal to 105% of the average market value for an Ordinary Share for the five Business Days immediately preceding the date of the purchase and (ii) the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent purchase bid on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out.

The Company has options and awards outstanding over 3,129,304 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.65% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 27 June 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the issue of the Notice of Meeting). If the authority now being sought by Resolution 21 were to be used in full, the total number of options and awards outstanding would represent 0.72% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital at that date. As at 27 June 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the issue of the Notice of Meeting), the Company held no Ordinary Shares in treasury.

The Company has no warrants in issue in relation to its shares and no options to subscribe for its shares outstanding.

Resolution 22 – Notice of general meetings

The Directors wish to obtain the flexibility and benefit from the ability to call general meetings on 14 clear days' notice and this resolution, which is proposed as a special resolution, seeks authority from Shareholders for this flexibility. Such approval will not affect AGMs, which will continue to be held on at least 21 clear days' notice.

In the event that this authority is to be exercised, the Directors will ensure that it is not used as a matter of routine, but only where the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be to the advantage of Shareholders as a whole. The Company intends to meet the requirements for a means of electronic voting to be made available to all Shareholders before calling a meeting on 14 clear days' notice. The approval will be effective until the Company's next AGM, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed.

Any changes to the AGM arrangements will be communicated to Shareholders before the AGM through our website www.balticclassifieds.com/shareholder-information and, where appropriate, announced to the London Stock Exchange via a regulatory information service. Shareholders who wish to appoint a proxy are recommended to appoint the Chair of the meeting as their proxy in accordance with the procedures below. Alternatively, you may appoint another person as your proxy in accordance with the above methods, however if such person is unable to attend, or is prevented from attending, the AGM your vote may not be cast.

1. Only persons entered on the register of members of the Company at 6.30 pm (BST) on 22 September 2025 (or, in the event of any adjournment, at 6.30 pm (BST) on the date falling two days (excluding non-working days) before the time of the adjourned meeting) are entitled to attend and vote at the meeting in person, electronically or by proxy and the number of Ordinary Shares then registered in their respective names shall determine the number of votes such persons are entitled to cast on a poll at the meeting. In the case of joint shareholders only, the vote of the most senior shareholder (as determined by the order in which the names are listed on the Register of Members) present (physically or by proxy) at the meeting shall be accepted.
1. Any member of the Company who is entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend, speak and vote at the AGM. A Shareholder may appoint more than one proxy, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to different shares. Such proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company. Appointing a proxy will not prevent Shareholders from attending and voting in person if they so wish.
1. The form of proxy, together with any power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed, or a notarially certified or office copy of such power of attorney or authority, must be received by the Company's Registrar, Equiniti no later than 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time appointed for the meeting. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not prevent you from attending and voting at the meeting in person instead of the proxy. You must inform the Company's Registrar in writing of any termination of the authority of a proxy.

A proxy may be appointed by any of the following methods:

completing the enclosed form of proxy and returning it to Equiniti at Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 6DA;
by logging onto the Company's Registrar's website www.sharevote.co.uk using the Voting ID, Task ID and Shareholder Reference Number (SRN) printed on your form of proxy. Shareholders who have already registered with the Company's Registrar's online portfolio service Shareview can submit a proxy by logging into their profile at www.shareview.co.uk and clicking on the link to vote;
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(s) thereof by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual (available at 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; or
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 9.00 am (BST) on 22 September 2025 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.

IMPORTANT:

In any case, to be valid, your instructions or form of proxy must be received by the Company's Registrar, Equiniti, no later than 9.00 am on 22 September 2025.

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 & Ireland Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com). 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 Company's agent (RA19) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments. 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 Applications Host) from which the Company's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.

After this time, any change of instruction 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 providers 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, to procure that his or her 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.

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.
