To the holders of Ordinary Shares and the Special Shareholder 19 December 2025

Dear Shareholder,

The Annual General Meeting (the 'AGM') of Greencore Group plc ('Greencore' or the 'Company') will be held at 9.30 a.m. (Irish time) on Thursday, 29 January 2026 at the Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport, Dublin Airport, Co. Dublin, K67 T6P6, Ireland. The Notice of AGM is set out on pages 6 to 9 of this document (the 'Notice of AGM'). Consideration of the resolutions proposed at the AGM is important.

AGM resolutions

The resolutions proposed at the AGM are set out below, each of which the Board of Directors (the 'Board' or the 'Directors') consider to be in the best interests of shareholders as a whole and the Board is recommending for your approval.

Ordinary Business

Resolution 1 – Financial Statements

Resolution 1 proposes, following a review of the Company's affairs, to receive and consider the Company's Financial Statements for the year ended 26 September 2025, together with the Directors' report and the auditor's report. A full copy of the 2025 Annual Report and Financial Statements is available on the Company's website (www.greencore.com).

Resolution 2 – Declaration of Final Dividend for FY25

Resolution 2 proposes the approval and payment of a final dividend of 2.60 pence per Ordinary Share in the capital of the Company for the financial year ended 26 September 2025. If approved, the final dividend will be paid on 5 February 2026 to the holders of Ordinary Shares on the register of members of the Company at close of business on 9 January 2026.

Resolution 3 – Re-appointment of Directors

Resolutions 3(a)-(h), which are proposed as separate resolutions, deal with the re-appointment of each of Leslie Van de Walle, Dalton Philips, Catherine Gubbins, Linda Hickey, Alastair Murray, Anne O'Leary, Helen Rose and Harshitkumar (Hetal) Shah as Directors of the Company.

The Directors seeking re-election under Resolution 3 will be doing so in accordance with the requirements of the Company's Articles of Association and the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code 2024 that each Director retire annually at the AGM and, should they wish to do so, offer themselves for appointment / re-appointment (as appropriate) by shareholders at the AGM.

Detailed biographies of the Directors, including their areas of expertise relevant to their role as Director, are set out on pages 72 and 73 of the 2025 Annual Report and Financial Statements, with details also available on our website (www.greencore.com).

The Board undertakes a formal annual evaluation of the performance of each of the Directors and is satisfied that each Director standing for re-appointment continues to make a valuable contribution bringing relevant knowledge and diversity of perspective, has performed effectively in offering independent and constructive challenge to management, and has demonstrated commitment to the role. It is the Board's view that the Directors' biographies illustrate why each Director's contribution is, and continues to be, important to the Company's long term sustainable success.

The Board as a whole strongly recommends the re-appointment of each of the Directors.

Resolution 4 – Remuneration Report

Resolution 4 is to receive and consider the Annual Report on Remuneration for the year ended 26 September 2025 which is set out on pages 112 to 121 of the 2025 Annual Report and Financial Statements. This is an advisory, non-binding resolution.

Resolution 5 – 2026 Remuneration Policy

Resolution 5 is to receive and consider the 2026 Directors' Remuneration Policy (the '2026 Remuneration Policy') which is set out on pages 103 to 111 of the 2025 Annual Report and Financial Statements. The remuneration policy was last approved by shareholders at the Company's 2023 AGM. The 2026 Remuneration Policy is being submitted to shareholders as an advisory non-binding resolution. The 2026 Remuneration Policy will provide the framework for remuneration decisions made by the Remuneration Committee from the date of the 2026 AGM. It is the Company's intention that this will apply until the 2029 AGM, unless the Company seeks shareholder approval for a renewed policy at an earlier date.

Resolution 6 – Re-appointment of external auditor

Shareholder confirmation is being sought in Resolution 6 for Deloitte Ireland LLP's continuation as auditor of the Company up to the financial year ending 25 September 2026. On the recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee, the Board proposes that Deloitte Ireland LLP continues as auditor of the Company. Deloitte Ireland LLP has indicated its willingness to continue as the Company's auditor for the current financial year ending 25 September 2026. This is an advisory resolution which is put to the members of the Company as a matter of good corporate governance practice; accordingly, it is not binding on the Company.

Resolution 7 – Remuneration of the external auditor

Resolution 7 is to authorise the Directors to fix the remuneration of the auditor for the 2026 financial year, ending 25 September 2026.

Resolution 8 – Authority to convene an extraordinary general meeting by at least fourteen clear days' notice

Resolution 8 is a special resolution which, if adopted, will permit the Company, in accordance with its Articles of Association, to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting by giving at least fourteen clear days' notice in writing where the purpose of the meeting is to consider an ordinary resolution. As a matter of policy, the fourteen clear days' notice will only be utilised where the Directors believe that it is merited by the business of the meeting and is to the advantage of shareholders as a whole.

In addition to the ordinary business to be transacted at the AGM as set out in resolutions 1 to 8 in the Notice of AGM, the Board proposes as special business resolutions 9 to 14, which are also set out in the Notice of AGM.

Special Business

Resolution 9 – Authority to allot shares

Resolution 9 is being proposed as an ordinary resolution to authorise the Directors to allot Ordinary Shares. In Resolution 9, shareholders are being asked to authorise the Directors to allot new Ordinary Shares up to a maximum nominal value of £1,461,840.57 representing approximately 33% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 15 December 2025 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice) subject to statutory pre-emption rights, where applicable. This authority shall expire at the close of business on the date of the next AGM of the Company to be held in 2027 or 29 April 2027, whichever is earlier. The Directors have no present intention of making any new issue of shares and will exercise this authority only if they consider it to be in the best interests of shareholders generally at that time.

Resolutions 10 and 11 – Disapplication of pre-emption rights

Resolution 10 is being proposed as a special resolution to renew the Directors' authority to issue shares for cash other than strictly pro-rata to existing shareholdings. The proposed authority is limited to the allotment of shares in specific circumstances relating to rights issues or any other issues up to an aggregate nominal value of £442,981.99, representing approximately 10% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) on 15 December 2025.

Resolution 11 is being proposed as a special resolution to authorise the Directors to issue additional shares for cash other than strictly pro-rata to existing shareholdings. The proposed authority is limited to:

  • l the allotment of shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of £442,981.99, which represents approximately 10% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) on 15 December 2025; and
  • l will only be used in connection with an acquisition or other capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles (the 'PEG Principles') which is announced contemporaneously with the allotment, or has taken place in the preceding twelve-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the allotment.

The maximum nominal value of equity securities which could be allotted if both authorities proposed by Resolutions 10 and 11 were used in full would be £885,963.98, which represents approximately 20% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) on 15 December 2025. This limit includes any treasury shares re-issued by the Company while these authorities remain operable.

The PEG Principles allow for an authority to issue shares for cash otherwise than in connection with a preemptive offer of approximately 10% of the issued share capital, with a further 10% authority supported in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment and then an additional 2% in each case to be used only for the purposes of a "follow-on offer" to existing holders of securities not allocated shares under an issue made under either of the two abovementioned share issuances.

The Directors will exercise these authorities only if they consider them to be in the best interests of shareholders generally at that time. These authorities will expire on the earlier of the date of the next AGM of the Company to be held in 2027 and 29 April 2027.

Resolution 12 – Authority to purchase own shares

At the AGM of the Company held in January 2025, shareholders passed a resolution to give the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, the authority to purchase up to 10% of its own shares. In Resolution 12, which is being proposed as a special resolution, shareholders are being asked to renew this authority in respect of 10% of the nominal value of the Company's issued share capital as at 15 December 2025 (being the last practicable date prior to the date of the Notice of AGM) until the earlier of the date of the next AGM of the Company to be held in 2027 or 29 April 2027. Furthermore, such purchases would be made only at price levels which the Directors considered to be in the best interests of the shareholders generally, after taking into account the Company's overall financial position. In addition, the authority being sought from shareholders will provide that the minimum price which may be paid for such shares shall not be less than the nominal value of the shares and the maximum price will be the higher of 105% of the average market price of such shares and the amount stipulated by Article 3(2) of the EU Delegated Regulation on Regulatory Technical Standards on buyback programmes and stabilisation measures (EU/2016/1052).

Resolution 13 – Re-issue price of treasury shares

Resolution 13 is being proposed as a special resolution to set the price range at which any treasury shares may be re-issued off-market. This authority will, if required, expire on the earlier of the date of the next AGM of the Company to be held in 2027 or 29 April 2027.

Resolution 14 – Amendments to the 2023 Performance Share Plan

Resolution 14, which is being proposed as an ordinary resolution proposes the amendment of the Rules of the Greencore Group plc 2023 Performance Share Plan (the '2023 Performance Share Plan').

In 2023, shareholders approved the 2023 Performance Share Plan. In preparing the 2026 Remuneration Policy, the Remuneration Committee, in conjunction with the Company's external remuneration consultants, undertook a review of the 2023 Performance Share Plan during FY25 to reflect the proposed 2026 Remuneration Policy and performance of the Executive Directors. Following on from the review of the 2023 Performance Share Plan and consultation with the Company's largest shareholders on the proposed 2026 Remuneration Policy, the Board is seeking shareholders' approval to amend the 2023 Performance Share Plan by:

  • l removing the 5% share dilution restriction for executive (discretionary) schemes under Rule 8.2 in line with updated market practice: and
  • l increasing the individual limit under the 2023 Performance Share Plan in respect of a particular financial year from 200% of salary to 250% of salary, as proposed under the 2026 Remuneration Policy.

The Directors believe that the revised 2023 Performance Share Plan will create further alignment between the interests of executives and those of shareholders.

A copy of the proposed revised 2023 Performance Share Plan will be available for inspection via the National Storage Mechanism and the Company's website (www.greencore.com) from the date of this document and at the place of the AGM for at least 15 minutes before the AGM and during the AGM.

Recommendation

The Directors are satisfied that the above resolutions being proposed at the AGM are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and accordingly recommend that you vote in favour of them, as they intend to do in respect of their beneficial holdings.

Ask Questions

Shareholders may ask questions related to items on the AGM agenda and have such questions answered by the Company subject to any reasonable measures the Company may take to ensure the identification of shareholders. An answer is not required if:

  • an answer has already been given on the Company's website in the form of a 'Q&A';

A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy to attend on the same occasion in respect of separate share(s) held by him or her. A shareholder acting as an intermediary on behalf of one or more clients may grant a proxy to each of its client or their nominees and such intermediary may cast votes attaching to some of the shares differently from other shares held by it. If a shareholder wishes to appoint more than one proxy, please contact the Company's Registrar, Computershare Investor Services (Ireland) Limited at 3100 Lake Drive, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, D24 AK82, Ireland or telephone +353 (0) 1 431 9832. Whilst it is preferable that shareholders appoint the Chair of the AGM as their proxy, shareholders may appoint any individual as their proxy. Appointment of a proxy will not preclude a shareholder from attending, speaking, asking questions and voting at the AGM should they subsequently wish to do so. Holders of CREST Depository Interests ('CDIs') ('CDI Holders') and/or investors who hold their interests in Ordinary Shares through a participant account in the securities settlement system operated by Euroclear Bank SA/NV ('Euroclear Bank') (the 'EB System') ('EB Participants') wishing to attend, speak, ask questions and vote at the AGM must arrange to have themselves appointed as their own proxy as explained in Notes 6 and 7 below.

4. HOW TO EXERCISE VOTING RIGHTS

Holders of Ordinary Shares have several ways to exercise their right to vote, depending on the manner by which they hold their shares as follows:

l If they are a registered shareholder holding in book-entry form they can vote by attending the AGM in person, or by appointing a proxy, either electronically or by returning a completed Form of Proxy in respect of the Chair of the AGM or another person to vote on their behalf;

  • l if they are CDI Holders, they can vote by:
  • sending electronic voting instructions to Euroclear Bank via Broadridge Financial Solutions Limited ('Broadridge'), a third-party service provider; or
  • appointing a proxy via the Broadridge Global Proxy Voting service to attend and vote at the meeting; or
  • l if they are EB Participants, they can vote by:
  • sending electronic voting instructions via SWIFT to Euroclear Bank or to EasyWay Corporate Actions; or
  • sending a proxy voting instruction to Euroclear Bank to appoint a third party (other than Euroclear Nominees Limited (i.e. the nominee of Euroclear Bank) ('Euroclear Nominees') or the Chair of the AGM) to attend and vote in person.

Persons who hold their interests in the Ordinary Shares of the Company as Belgian law rights through the EB System or as CDIs should consult with their stockbroker or other intermediary at the earliest opportunity for further information on the processes and timelines for submitting proxies and voting instructions for the AGM through the respective systems.

For voting services offered by custodians holding Irish corporate securities directly with Euroclear Bank, shareholders should please contact their custodian.

In the case of joint holders, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other registered holder(s) and, for this purpose, seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Members.

All resolutions will be conducted by way of poll.

5. PROXY VOTING BY BOOK-ENTRY HOLDERS

Shareholders who are registered members holding in book-entry form on the records of our Company Registrar, Computershare, and who wish to appoint a proxy should complete the Form of Proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon. To be effective, the Form of Proxy together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is executed, or a notarially certified copy thereof, must be deposited at the registered office of the Company or, at the member's option, with the Company's Registrar, Computershare Investor Services (Ireland) Limited, P.O. Box 13030, 3100 Lake Drive, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, D24 AK82, Ireland not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the meeting. Alternatively, shareholders may appoint a proxy electronically, by visiting the website of the Company's Registrar at (www.eproxyappointment.com). They will need their control number, SRN and PIN number, which can be found on their Form of Proxy.

6. PROXY VOTING BY CDI HOLDERS1

In respect of CDI Holders, Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited ('EUI'), the operator of CREST has arranged for voting instructions relating to CDIs held in CREST to be received via Broadridge. Further details on this service are set out on the 'All you need to know about SRD II in Euroclear UK & Ireland' webpage of the Euroclear Bank website (www.euroclear.com) which is accessible to CREST participants (see section CREST International Service – Proxy voting).

CDI Holders will be required to use the EUI proxy voting service facilitated by the Broadridge Global Proxy Voting service in order to receive meeting announcements and send back voting instructions, as required. To facilitate client set up, CDI Holders who wish to participate in the proxy voting service, will need to complete a Meetings and Voting Client Set-up Form (CRT408), a copy of which is available on the Euroclear Bank website (www.euroclear.com) which is accessible to CREST participants. Completed application forms should be returned to EUI by an authorised signatory with another relevant authorised signatory copied in for verification purposes using the following email address: [email protected].

Fully completed and returned application forms will be shared with Broadridge by EUI. This will enable Broadridge to contact a shareholder and share further detailed information on the service offering and initiate the process for granting their access to the Broadridge platform.

1 Please note that all expected times and dates referenced in this note are indicative only. CDI Holders should please consult with their stockbroker or other intermediary to confirm voting instruction deadlines.

Once CDI Holders have access to the Broadridge platform, they can complete and submit proxy appointments (including voting instructions) electronically. Broadridge will process and deliver proxy voting instructions received from CDI Holders by the Broadridge voting deadline date to Euroclear Bank by its cut-off and to agreed market requirements. Alternatively, a CDI Holder can send a third-party proxy voting instruction through the Broadridge platform in order to appoint a third party (who may be a corporate representative or the CDI Holder themselves) to attend and vote at the meeting the number of Ordinary Shares specified in the proxy instruction (subject to the Broadridge voting deadline). There is no facility to offer a letter of representation/appoint a corporate representative other than through the submission of third-party proxy appointment instructions through Broadridge. Broadridge's voting deadline is expected to be two business days prior to Euroclear Bank's voting instruction deadline as set out below i.e. expected to be on Friday, 23 January 2026. As stated above, CDI Holders should please consult with their stockbroker to confirm any relative Broadridge deadlines.

Notwithstanding that the Broadridge voting deadline is expected to occur on Friday, 23 January 2026, as the CDI voting deadline is expected to be before the Record Date, CDI holders that want to appoint and instruct the Chair of the AGM as their proxy and vote on their behalf at the AGM may need to make additional arrangements to send a TTE (transfer to-escrow) instruction to an EUI escrow account. If required, it is envisaged that the securities will be released from escrow, as soon as practicably possible, on the business day following the Record Date for the AGM, unless otherwise specified by Broadridge. TTE instructions are read in conjunction with the voting instructions formally lodged and on their own do not constitute voting instructions.

CDI Holders should pay close attention to any notices specifically relating to this AGM and are strongly encouraged to familiarise themselves with Broadridge's new arrangements, including the new voting deadlines and procedures and to take any further actions required by Broadridge before they can avail of the Broadridge voting service as soon as possible.

CDI holders are additionally advised that any purchases which are expected to settle after the Broadridge voting deadline and before the Record Date will be settled on the basis that the purchaser may be unable to exercise any underlying voting or attendance rights.

Broadridge will use best endeavours to accept late votes, changes and cancellations from a CDI Holder after the voting deadline but there is no guarantee that these will be processed within the requisite timeframes.

7. PROXY VOTING BY EB PARTICIPANTS2
