Chair's letter

To all Shareholders of Gamma Communications plc

2 April 2026

Dear Shareholder,

Annual General Meeting 2026

I am pleased to enclose a Notice convening the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of Gamma Communications plc (the "Company") which will be held at the offices of Investec Bank plc at 30 Gresham Street, London EC2V 7QP at 8.30am on Wednesday 13 May 2026.

Resolutions and explanatory notes

The formal notice convening the AGM (the "Notice") is set out on pages 4 and 5 of this document. Explanatory notes to each of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM can be found on pages 6 and 7.

There will be an opportunity for you to raise questions at the AGM about the resolutions set out in the Notice and about the business of the Company.

Board changes

All of the directors of the Company will stand for election or reelection and their biographies are provided on pages 8 and 9. The board of directors (the "Board") considers that the contribution and skills of each of the directors are, and continue to be, important to the long-term sustainable success of the Company.

Bill Castell informed the board in late 2025 that he would be taking up another executive role at a private equity backed business. Bill left the Board on 31 March 2026 and will therefore not stand for reelection at the 2026 AGM. The Board would like to thank him for his efforts over the last four years in developing the finance function, leading the move from AIM to the Main Market, implementing a new ERP system, and improving systems and controls, including importantly on risk matters. He leaves the finance function in a solid state and appropriately resourced for a FTSE250 company.

We were delighted to announce the appointment of Damien Maltarp as our new CFO on 20 March 2026. Damien brings significant telecoms and capital markets expertise to Gamma, underpinned by more than 15 years' senior leadership experience across a broad range of financial disciplines. Damien will join Gamma later in 2026 and we look forward to welcoming him.

We were pleased to announce the appointment of Chris Jagusz who joined the Board on 9 February 2026 and will stand for election at the 2026 AGM. Chris has worked with Gamma for several years in a consultancy capacity, so his skills and experience were well-known to the management team. Being mindful of the need to deepen the Non-Executive Directors' expertise in the areas of telecommunications and technology, Chris met with all members of the Board who concluded that his skills and experience would complement Gamma's Board. Notwithstanding his previous relationship with Gamma, we consider him to be independent on appointment. His independence has been assessed objectively based on the fees paid to him in the previous three years which did not breach any levels of materiality for Gamma.

Remuneration

Following our move to the Main Market in May 2025, we have taken into account our responsibility as a Main Market company in the drafting of the 2025 Annual Report and in particular the Directors' Remuneration Report. To ensure we comply with remuneration reporting regulations and the UK Corporate Governance Code we are putting both the Directors' Remuneration report and the Directors' Remuneration Policy to shareholder votes at the 2026 AGM. No material changes to the Policy are proposed. The vote on the Directors' Remuneration report will be advisory. The vote on the Directors' Remuneration Policy will be binding and Directors' remuneration will be subject to that policy for the next three years, unless we determine that changes should be made during the intervening period. Any such changes would be subject to shareholder approval. The 2024 Directors' Remuneration report and Directors' Remuneration Policy were both approved on an advisory basis at the 2025 AGM with 99.76% of votes cast in favour for each resolution.

Attendance and voting in person or by proxy

All resolutions for consideration at the AGM will be voted on by way of a poll, rather than a show of hands. This means that ordinary shareholders will have one vote for each ordinary share held. The Company believes that this will result in a more accurate reflection of the views of ordinary shareholders by ensuring that every vote is recognised, including the votes of ordinary shareholders who are unable to attend, but who have appointed a proxy, for the AGM.

If you are entitled, but are unable, to attend and vote at the AGM, you may appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf. Please read the Notes section on pages 10 and 11 of this Notice for actions required by ordinary shareholders to appoint a proxy.

Shareholders are encouraged to vote online by logging on to https://uk.investorcentre.mpms.mufg.com/ and following the instructions given.

The electronic filing of your Form of Proxy using any of the methods set out above or the return of a completed Form of Proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM.

If you have sold or transferred all of your ordinary shares of £0.0025 each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), please send this document immediately to the purchaser or transferee or to the stockbroker, bank or other agent through whom the sale or transfer was effected for transmission to the purchaser or transferee.

Further information

Further information relating to the Company and its financial information can be found in the Company's 2025 Annual Report, which was circulated at the same time as this Notice and is also available on our Company website at www.gammagroup.co. The Company's website contains a variety of other information, including previous Annual Reports, Company announcements, investor presentations and share price data, as well as information regarding the Company's corporate governance practices.

Recommendation

Your directors believe that the proposals set out in this letter are in the best interests of the shareholders as a whole and are most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole. The directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the resolutions as the directors propose to do in respect of their own holdings amounting to approximately 0.12% of the ordinary share capital of the Company as at the date of this letter.

Yours faithfully

Martin Hellawell Chair

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD

Rachael Matzopoulos Company Secretary 2 April 2026

Notice of Annual General Meeting 2026


Explanatory notes to the resolutions

Resolution 1 – Report and accounts

Resolution 1 proposes that the Company's annual accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 together with the Directors' Report and Auditor's Report on these accounts be received, considered and adopted ("2025 Annual Report"). The Company's 2025 Annual Report is available online at www.gammagroup.co

Resolution 2 – Final dividend

Resolution 2 requests approval by the shareholders for the payment of a final dividend of 14.8 pence per ordinary share in respect of the year ended 31 December 2025. The dividend will be paid on Thursday 18 June 2026 to the holders of Ordinary Shares reflected on the Company's register of members as at 5.00pm on Friday 29 May 2026.

Resolutions 3 and 4 – Directors' remuneration policy and Directors' remuneration report

Resolution 3 is a resolution to approve, on a binding basis, the directors' remuneration policy contained on pages 96 to 102 in the 2025 Annual Report. In line with legislation, resolution 4 is a resolution to approve, on an advisory basis only, the directors' remuneration report (excluding the directors' remuneration policy) contained on pages 91 to 112 in the 2025 Annual Report.

Resolutions 5 and 6 – Reappointment of Deloitte LLP as auditor and authorisation for the directors to set their remuneration

Resolution 5 relates to the reappointment of Deloitte LLP as the Company's auditor to hold office until the next annual general meeting of the Company. As previously disclosed, the Company undertook an audit tender process during 2025 to enable an auditor to be selected. Following a comprehensive process, the Board selected Deloitte LLP to continue as the Group's external auditor.

Resolution 6 seeks to authorise the directors to set the remuneration payable to Deloitte LLP as the Company's auditor.

Resolutions 7 to 13 – Election and reelection of directors

Resolution 7 relates to the election of Chris Jagusz who was appointed to the Board in February 2026 and is standing for election for the first time.

Resolutions 8 to 13 deal with the reelections of members of the Board of directors in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code ("Code") and the Company's articles of association, which provide for all Directors to be subject to annual election or reelection by shareholders.

The Board considers that each Director seeking election or reelection contributes effectively to Board deliberations and demonstrates commitment to their role. This consideration of effectiveness is based on, amongst other things, the business skills, industry experience, business model experience and other contributions individuals may make, both as an individual and also in contributing to the balance of skills, knowledge and capability of the Board as a whole, as well as the commitment of time for Board and Committee meetings and other duties.

Biographical details for each of the members of the Board of directors are available on pages 8 and 9.

Resolution 14 – Allotment of share capital

Resolution 14 grants the directors general authority in accordance with section 551 of the Act to allot Ordinary Shares (and/or rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into such Ordinary Shares) up to a maximum nominal amount of £77,180.18 representing approximately one third of the ISC.

Resolution 15 – Disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights

Section 561(1) of the Act requires that on an allotment of new shares for cash, such shares must first be offered to existing shareholders in proportion to the number of shares that they each hold at that time. The directors believe that there may be circumstances when it is in the best interests of the Company to allot new Ordinary Shares either on an entirely non-pre-emptive basis or in a way that departs from the statutory requirements set out in the Act.

Accordingly, resolution 15 grants the directors general authority to allot and sell equity securities covered by the resolution 14 authority for cash as if section 561 of the Act did not apply, provided that this power is limited to: (a) the allotment and sale to holders of Ordinary Shares or other equity securities on a pre-emptive basis but with appropriate adjustments to the statutory pre-emption requirements set out in the Act, for example to deal with fractional entitlements and overseas legal requirements, as the directors see fit; (b) the allotment or sale (otherwise than pursuant to (a)) of equity securities on a non-pre-emptive basis up to a maximum nominal value of £23,154.05, representing approximately 10% of the ISC; and (c) the allotment or sale (otherwise than pursuant to (a) and (b)) of equity securities on a non-pre-emptive basis up to 2% of the ISC to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer to existing holders of securities not allocated shares under (a) and (b) above.

Resolution 15 is in line with the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles for the Disapplication of Pre-Emption Rights which were updated on 4 November 2022.

Resolution 16 – Disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights in connection with an acquisition or other capital investment

In addition to resolution 15, the directors believe that there may be other circumstances when it is in the best interests of the Company to allot new Ordinary Shares either on an entirely non-pre-emptive basis or in a way that departs from the statutory requirements set out in the Act.

Accordingly, resolution 16 grants the directors general authority to allot and sell equity securities covered by the resolution 14 authority for cash as if section 561 of the Act did not apply, provided that this power is limited to: (a) the allotment or sale of equity securities on a non-pre-emptive basis up to a maximum nominal value of £23,154.05, representing approximately 10% of the ISC, and used only for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the authority is to be used within six months after the original transaction) a transaction which the Board determines to be an acquisition or other capital investment (of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the date of this notice); and (b) the allotment or sale (otherwise than pursuant to (a)) of equity securities on a non-pre-emptive basis up to 2% of the ISC to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer to existing holders of securities not allocated shares under (a) above.

Resolution 16 is in line with the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles for the Disapplication of Pre-Emption Rights which were updated on 4 November 2022.

Gamma Communications plc


Notice of Annual General Meeting 2026

Resolution 17 – Purchase of own shares

During 2025, the Company purchased a total of 3,736,038 Ordinary Shares for an aggregate £45.1 million (exclusive of fees, expenses and stamp duty) over the course of the share buyback programme ("2025 Share Buyback Programme") and all shares were subsequently cancelled. This represented approximately 4% of the Company's ordinary share capital at commencement of the buyback.

In January 2026, following a review of the Company's capital structure, liquidity and cash generation, the Board announced the launch of a share buyback programme within existing shareholder authorities of up to £42.5 million in FY 2026 ("2026 Share Buyback Programme") and an intention to launch a further £42.5 million share buyback programme in FY 2027 ("2027 Share Buyback Programme"), returning up to £85 million (exclusive of fees, expenses and stamp duty) in aggregate, being approximately 9.9% of the issued ordinary share capital as at 12 January 2026, over a two year period.

The maximum number of Ordinary Shares which may be purchased by the Company under the 2026 Share Buyback Programme is 9,657,538, being the maximum amount the Company is authorised to repurchase under the authority granted by shareholders at the Company's annual general meeting held on 14 May 2025. Subject to approval of resolution 17 at the AGM, the Company expects the 2026 Share Buyback Programme to continue until the end of FY 2026.

In resolution 17, which is being proposed as a special resolution, shareholders are being asked to renew the authority for the Company to purchase its own shares in respect of up to 10% of the nominal value of the Company's issued share capital as at 31 March 2026 (being the last practicable date prior to the date of this Notice of AGM) until the earlier of the date of the AGM to be held in 2027 or 15 months from the date of passing this resolution. The resolution specifies the minimum and maximum prices which may be paid for any ordinary shares purchased under this authority.

The directors believe that it is advantageous for this general authority to be renewed to provide greater flexibility in the management of the Company's capital resources. If resolution 17 is passed, the directors will only exercise this authority after careful consideration of relevant factors, including whether to do so would result in an increase in earnings per share, be in the best interests of the Company and would benefit shareholders. Other investment opportunities, appropriate gearing levels and the overall position of the Company will be considered before deciding upon this course of action. It is the directors' current intention that any Ordinary Shares purchased under the authority granted by resolution 17 will be automatically cancelled and the number of Ordinary Shares in issue will be reduced accordingly. Alternatively, the directors may choose to hold the Ordinary Shares purchased under the authority in treasury in the future. Ordinary Shares purchased by the Company and held in treasury (subject to certain limitations) may subsequently be cancelled, sold for cash or used for the purposes of employee share schemes. To the extent that any Ordinary Shares purchased are held in treasury, earnings per Ordinary Share would only be increased on a temporary basis if such Ordinary Shares are subsequently resold out of treasury.

Notes

Entitlement to attend and vote

  1. Only those members registered on the Company's register of members at close of business on Monday 11 May 2026, or by close of business on the date which is two working days before the time of the meeting, shall be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM.

Appointment of proxies

  1. If you are a member 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 AGM. Members can vote online by logging on to https://uk.investorcentre.mpms.mufg.com/ and following the instructions given. Alternatively members can appoint a proxy using one of the methods set out in note 6 below. You can only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes.

  2. A proxy does not need to be a member of the Company but must attend the AGM to represent you. Details of how to appoint the Chair of the AGM or another person as your proxy can be found online at https://uk.investorcentre.mpms.mufg.com/. If you wish your proxy to speak on your behalf at the AGM you will need to appoint your own choice of proxy (not the Chair) and give your instructions directly to them but please note the comments about attendance above.

  3. 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. To appoint more than one proxy, please contact the Company's registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets, whose details are provided at the end of this section.

  4. 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 resolution. If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at his or her discretion. Your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the AGM.

  5. To be valid, the proxy instructions must be received by one of the below methods no later than 8.30am on Monday 11 May 2026 or, if the meeting is adjourned, by the time which is 48 hours before the time of the adjourned meeting:

(a) vote electronically via the Investor Centre, a free app for smartphone and tablet provided by MUFG Corporate Markets. It allows you to securely manage and monitor your shareholdings in real time, take part in online voting, keep your details up to date, access a range of information including payment history and much more. The app is available to download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, or by scanning the relevant QR code below. Alternatively, you may access the Investor Centre via a web browser at: https://uk.investorcentre.mpms.mufg.com/.

You will need to log into your Investor Centre account or register if you have not previously done so. Once you have set up your account you will need to add your shareholding by clicking 'Add Holding' in the 'Portfolio' section and following the on-screen instructions. You will require your Investor Code ("IVC") to add your shareholding. You can find your IVC on your share certificate or by contacting MUFG Corporate Markets;

(b) if your shares are held electronically via CREST, the proxy appointment may be lodged using the CREST Proxy Voting Service in accordance with note 7 below;

(c) by requesting a hard copy proxy form by contacting the Company's registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets, whose details are provided at the end of this section, and following the instructions provided; or

(d) 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. 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. 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 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.

  2. 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 Company's agent, MUFG Corporate Markets (CREST Participant ID: RA10), no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the time stamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the Company's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.

  3. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. 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 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 (as amended).

  4. 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. In order to revoke a proxy instruction you will need to inform the Company by sending a signed hard copy notice clearly stating your intention to revoke your proxy appointment to the Company's registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets, whose details are provided at the end of this section. In the case of a member which is a company, the revocation notice must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or an attorney for the company. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the revocation notice is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the revocation notice. The revocation notice must be received by MUFG Corporate Markets no later than 8.30am on Monday 11 May 2026.

  2. If you attempt to revoke your proxy appointment but the revocation is received after the time specified then, subject to the paragraph directly below, your proxy appointment will remain valid.

  3. Appointment of a proxy does not preclude you from attending the AGM and voting in person. If you have appointed a proxy and attend the AGM in person, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.

  4. To change your proxy instructions simply 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 apply in relation to amended instructions; any amended proxy appointment received after the relevant cut-off time will be disregarded.

  5. Where you have appointed a proxy using the hard copy Form of Proxy and would like to change the instructions using another hard copy Form of Proxy, please contact the Company's registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets, whose contact details are provided at the end of this section.

  6. 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.

  7. A corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise, on its behalf, all its powers as a member provided that no more than one corporate representative exercises powers over the same share.

Corporate Nominee

  1. Participants in the Company's UK Corporate Nominee may exercise their votes through the SIP provider, Equiniti, who will contact participants in advance of the AGM to confirm how votes can be submitted. Votes should be provided to Equiniti no later than 8.30am on Wednesday 6 May 2026.

Issued shares and total voting rights

  1. As at 31 March 2026, the Company's issued share capital comprised 92,616,212 ordinary shares of £0.0025 each, of which 1,587,800 ordinary shares are held in treasury. With the exception of treasury shares, each Ordinary Share carries the right to one vote at a general meeting of the Company, therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company as at 31 March 2026 was 91,028,412.

Voting at the AGM

  1. Each of the resolutions to be put to the AGM will be voted on by a poll and not a show of hands. A poll reflects the number of voting rights exercisable by each member which is considered a more democratic method of voting. Members and proxies will be asked to complete a poll card to indicate how they wish to cast their votes. These cards will be collected at the end of the meeting. The results of the poll will be published on the Company's website once the votes have been counted and verified.

Questions at the AGM

  1. Under section 319A of the Act, the Company must answer any question relating to the business being dealt with at the AGM unless:

(a) answering the question would interfere unduly with the preparation for the AGM or involve the disclosure of confidential information;

(b) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question; or

(c) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the AGM that the question be answered.

  1. Should you wish to submit a question to the Board in advance of the AGM, please send this via email to: [email protected].
