Important information:

This document is important and requires your immediate attention. If you are in any doubt as to any aspect of the proposals referred to in this document or as to the action you should take, you should seek your own advice from a stockbroker, solicitor, accountant, or other independent professional adviser immediately. If you have sold or otherwise transferred all of your shares, please pass this document together with the accompanying documents to the purchaser or transferee, or to the person who arranged the sale or transfer so they can pass these documents to the person who now holds the shares.

Letter from the Chair

Dear Shareholder

Notice of Annual General Meeting 2025

I am pleased to inform you that the Annual General Meeting ("AGM" or the "Meeting") of the Company will be held at 14:00 on Tuesday, 22 July 2025 at Motorpoint Group Plc, Champion House, Stephensons Way, Derby, DE21 6LY.

Notice of the AGM is set out on pages 3 to 5 of this document with explanatory notes set out on pages 9 to 10. There will be an opportunity for you to ask questions at the AGM.

Voting

At the meeting itself, voting on all proposed resolutions will be conducted on a poll rather than a show of hands, in line with recommended best practice. Voting by poll is more transparent and equitable because it includes the votes of all shareholders who have cast their votes by proxy, rather than just the votes of shareholders who attend the AGM.

The voting results will be published on our website www.motorpoint.co.uk/plc and they will also be released to the London Stock Exchange via a Regulatory Information Service.

Your vote is important to us. We encourage shareholders to vote electronically at https://www.signalshares.com as your vote will automatically be counted. Shareholders are asked to cast their vote by proxy and appoint the 'Chair of the Meeting' as their proxy and provide their voting instructions.

You can also vote by downloading the shareholder app, VOTE+, on Apple App Store or Google Play and following the instructions.

If you would prefer to use a paper proxy form to appoint your proxy, you may request one from the Company's registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets, by email at [email protected] or by calling the shareholder helpline. Details of the helpline and further information on how to appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf are set out in the Notice on page 7 of this document.

CREST members may use the CREST electronic proxy appointment service to submit their proxy appointment in respect of the AGM. Our CREST Issuer Agent ID is RA10. Further information regarding the appointment of proxies and voting is set out in the Notes to this Notice of Meeting. Please note that all proxy votes and appointments must be received by the Registrar no later than 14:00 on 18 July 2025.

If you are an institutional investor you may also 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.

Website

Our corporate website www.motorpoint.co.uk/plc provides more information about Motorpoint including:

  • a copy of our full Annual Report and Accounts; and
  • all our latest news and regulatory announcements.

Questions

Shareholders who wish to ask a question of the Board relating to the business of the meeting can do so by sending an email to [email protected]. In addition, shareholders who attend the AGM in person may pose questions to the Board in person.

Recommendation

The Directors of the Company consider that all of the resolutions to be proposed at the Meeting are in the best interests of Motorpoint and its shareholders as a whole and are most likely to promote the success of Motorpoint. The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of all the proposed resolutions as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings currently amounting to approximately 10% of the issued share capital of Motorpoint.

Yours sincerely

John Walden Chair Motorpoint Group Plc

Link Group, the company's registrar, has launched a shareholder app: LinkVote+.

It's free to download and use and gives shareholders the ability to access their records at anytime.

This app also allows users to submit a proxy appointment quickly and easily online rather than through the post.

This app is available to download on the Apple App store and Google Play

Notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting

  1. Shareholders wishing to attend the meeting, should this be possible, are asked to register their attendance as soon as practicable by sending an email the Company Secretary at [email protected] confirming their attendance.

Any member ordinarily entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint one or more proxies (who need not be a member of the Company) to attend and to vote instead of the member. The appointment of a proxy does not preclude a member from attending and voting at the meeting in person, should they subsequently decide to do so.

    1. Unless otherwise indicated on the Form of Proxy, CREST, Proxymity or any other electronic voting instruction, the proxy will vote as they think fit or, at their discretion withhold from voting.
    1. The right to appoint a proxy does not apply to persons whose shares are held on their behalf by another person and who have been nominated to receive communications from the company in accordance with section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act") ("Nominated Persons"). Nominated Persons may have a right under an agreement with the registered shareholder who holds the shares on their behalf to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy. Alternatively, if nominated persons do not have such a right, or do not wish to exercise it, they may have a right under such an agreement to give instructions to the person holding the shares as to the exercise of voting rights.
    1. Members are strongly encouraged to appoint a proxy electronically. This can be done by:
    2. Logging onto https://www.signalshares.com and submitting a proxy appointment online by following the instructions. If you have not previously done so, you will need to register. To do this, you will need your Investor Code detailed on your share certificate (or otherwise available from the Company's registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets);
    3. By downloading the shareholder app, VOTE+, on Apple App Store or Google Play and following the instructions. VOTE+ is a free app for smartphone and tablet provided by MUFG Corporate Markets (the company's registrar). It offers shareholders the option to submit a proxy appointment quickly and easily online, as well as real-time access to their shareholding records. The app is available to download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, or by scanning the relevant QR code in this document; or
    4. Submitting (if you are a CREST member) a proxy appointment electronically by using the CREST voting service. Please note that proxy appointments must be received by no later than 14:00 on 18 July 2025 to be valid.
    5. If you are an institutional investor you may also be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform.
    1. A member who would prefer a paper proxy form may request one from the Company's registrar by email at [email protected] or by calling the helpline number below. A paper proxy appointment form must be completed in accordance with the instructions that accompany it and then delivered (together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed, or a copy certified by a notary or in some other way approved by the board) to MUFG Corporate Markets, PXS 1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL.

All proxy appointments must be received by no later than 14:00 on 18 July 2025 to be valid.

The Company's registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets, can be contacted via email at [email protected] or on its helpline number by calling 0371 664 0300 (calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider and calls outside the United Kingdom will be charged at the applicable international rate). If dialling from overseas please call +44 371 664 0300. Lines are open between 09:00 - 17:30, Monday to Friday excluding public holidays in England and Wales.

    1. From the date of this Notice and for the following two years the following information will be available on the Company's website and can be accessed at www.motorpoint.co.uk/plc:
    2. i. the matters set out in this Notice;
    3. ii. the total number of shares in the Company and shares of each class, in respect of which members are entitled to exercise voting rights at the meeting; and
    4. iii. the totals of the voting rights that members are entitled to exercise at the meeting in respect of the shares of each class.

Any members' statements, members' resolutions and members' matters of business received by the Company after the date of this Notice will be added to the information already available on the website as soon as reasonably practicable and will also be made available for the following two years.

  1. The right of members to vote at the AGM is determined by reference to the register of members. As permitted by section 360B(3) of the Act and Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001, shareholders (including those who hold shares in uncertificated form) must be entered on the Company's share register at the close of business on 18 July 2025 in order to be entitled to attend (in ordinary circumstances) and vote at the 2025 AGM. Shareholders may only cast votes in respect of shares held at such time. Changes to entries on the relevant register after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the 2025 AGM.

Notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting continued

    1. Copies of the service contracts and letters of appointment of each of the Directors are available for inspection at the registered office of the Company during usual business hours on any weekday (public holidays excluded) and at the place of the AGM from at least 15 minutes prior to and until the end of the AGM.
    1. CREST members who wish to appoint one or more proxies through the CREST system may do so by using the procedures described in "the CREST voting service" section of the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed one or more voting service providers, should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf. In order for a proxy appointment or a proxy instruction made using the CREST voting service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (CREST proxy appointment instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with the specifications of CREST's operator, Euroclear UK & International Limited (Euroclear), and must contain all the relevant information required by the CREST Manual. To be valid, 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 be transmitted so as to be received by MUFG Corporate Markets (ID RA10), as the Company's "issuer's agent", by no later than 14:00 on 18 July 2025. After this time any change of instruction to a proxy appointed through the CREST system should be communicated to the appointee through other means. The time of the message's receipt will be taken to be when (as determined by the timestamp applied by the CREST Applications Host) the issuer's agent is first able to retrieve it by enquiry through the CREST system in the prescribed manner. Euroclear does not make available special procedures in the CREST system for transmitting any particular message. Normal system timings and limitations apply in relation to the input of CREST proxy appointment instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or a CREST sponsored member or has appointed any voting service provider(s), to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as is necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should take into account the provisions of the CREST Manual concerning timings as well as its section on "Practical limitations of the system". In certain circumstances the Company may, in accordance with the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 or the CREST Manual, treat a CREST proxy appointment instruction as invalid.
    1. If you are an institutional investor you may also 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 14:00 on 18 July 2025 in order to be considered valid or, if the meeting is adjourned, by the time which is 48 hours before the time of the adjourned meeting. 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. As at 27 May 2025, which is the latest practicable date before publication of this Notice, the Company's issued share capital comprised 85,670,158 Ordinary Shares of £0.01 each. Each Ordinary Share carries the right to one vote at a general meeting of the Company and, therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company as at close of business on 27 May 2025 is 85,670,158.
    1. Any member with the right to attend the AGM is entitled, pursuant to section 319A of the Act, to ask any question relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting. Shareholders who wish to ask a question of the Board relating to the business of the meeting can do so by sending an email to [email protected]. In addition, shareholders who attend the 2025 AGM in person may pose questions to the Board in person. Shareholders who wish to pose questions in advance of the meeting (by sending an email to [email protected]) are encouraged to send their questions as soon as possible. The Company will, to the extent practicable, answer any such questions unless
    2. i. to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information; or
    3. ii. it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered; or
    4. iii. the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question. In the interests of efficiency and to avoid unnecessary repetition, if multiple questions are submitted with a common theme, they will be answered as one question.
    1. Pursuant to Chapter 5 of Part 16 of the Act (sections 527 to 531), where requested by either a member or members having a right to vote at the meeting and holding at least 5% of total voting rights of the Company or at least 100 members having a right to vote at the meeting and holding, on average, at least £100 of paid up share capital, the Company must publish, on its website, a statement setting out any matter that such member or members propose to raise at the AGM.

Where the Company is required to publish such a statement on its website it may not require the members making the request to pay any expenses incurred by the Company in complying with the request, it must forward the statement to the Company's auditors no later than the time the statement is made available on the Company's website, and the statement may be dealt with as part of the business of the AGM.

The request must either set out the statement in full or, if supporting a statement sent by another member, clearly identify the statement which is being supported, and be received by the Company at least one week before the AGM.

An explanation of each of the resolutions is set out below.

Resolution 1: Reports and Accounts

The Directors are required to present to the meeting the audited accounts and the reports of the Directors and the auditors for the financial year ended 31 March 2025.

Resolution 2: Directors' Remuneration Report

The Act requires the Company to produce a yearly report on Directors' Remuneration (the "Directors' Remuneration Report") and to put an annual resolution to shareholders for approval of that Report. The Directors' Remuneration Report for which approval is sought is set out on pages 100 to 109 of the Annual Report and Accounts for the financial year ended 31 March 2025.

Resolution 3: Declaration of a Dividend

The Directors are recommending a final divided for the year ended 31 March 2025 of 1.0p per ordinary share. If approved, the final dividend will be paid on 1 August to shareholders whose name appear on the register at the close of business on 4 July 2025.

Resolutions 4 to 10 (inclusive): Re-appointment of Directors

In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, all of the Directors are seeking reappointment. The Board, having considered the mix of skills, knowledge and experience of each of the Directors, confirms that it remains satisfied that each of the Directors continues to perform his or her duties effectively. Biographical details of these Directors are set out on pages 70 and 71 of the Annual Report and Accounts for the financial year ended 31 March 2025.

Resolutions 11 & 12: Appointment and Remuneration of Auditors

The Company is required to appoint auditors at each general meeting at which accounts are laid before the Company, to hold office until the end of the next such meeting. Resolution 11 proposes the appointment and, in accordance with standard practice, Resolution 12 gives authority to the Directors to determine the remuneration to be paid to the auditors.

Resolution 13: Authority to Allot Shares

Under section 551 of the Act, the directors of a company may only allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any security, into shares in a company if authorised to do so. The Act provides that the shareholders can give a general authority to the Directors to allot shares but that authority is subject to renewal by the shareholders. Resolution 13 renews an authority given at last year's AGM and is in two parts:

  • Rights Issue: In line with the Investment Association guidance, paragraph 13.1 of Resolution 13 will authorise the Directors to allot shares in the Company (and to grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any security into, shares in the Company) in connection with a rights issue only up to an aggregate nominal amount of £571,134 (as reduced by the aggregate nominal amount of any shares allotted or rights granted under paragraph 13.2 of Resolution 13). This amount (before any reduction) represents approximately two-thirds of the issued share capital of the Company as at 27 May 2025, being the last practicable date before the publication of this document; and
  • Allotment of Shares: paragraph 13.2 of Resolution 13 will authorise the Directors to allot shares in the Company (and to grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any security into, shares in the Company) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £285,567 as reduced by the aggregate nominal amount of any shares allotted or rights granted under paragraph 13.1 of Resolution 13 in excess of £285,567. This amount (before any reduction) represents approximately one-third of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 27 May 2025, being the last practicable date before the publication of this document.

The Directors have no current intention to exercise either of the authorities sought under Resolution 13, save in connection with the Company's share option plans. However, the Directors consider that it is in the best interests of the Company to have the authorities available so that they have the maximum flexibility permitted by investor guidelines to allot shares or grant rights without the need for a general meeting, should they determine that it is appropriate to do so to respond to market developments or to take advantage of business opportunities as they arise. If the Directors do exercise this authority, the Directors intend to follow best practice as regards to its use. This authority will expire on the earlier of the close of business on 22 October 2026 and the conclusion of the next AGM.

Resolution 14 & 15: Disapplication of Pre-emption Rights

If new shares are to be allotted for cash, section 561(1) of the Act requires that those shares are offered first to existing shareholders pro-rata to their holdings. However, it may be in the interests of the Company for the Directors to allot shares other than to shareholders in proportion to their existing holding or otherwise than strictly in compliance with those requirements. Resolution 14 would allow the Directors, pursuant to sections 570 and 573 of the Act, to allot shares for cash (or to sell treasury shares) without first offering them to shareholders pursuant to their statutory pre-emption rights. This authority would be limited to allotments or sales in connection with pre-emptive offers to shareholders and offers to holders of other equity securities (if the rights attaching to those securities require it or as the Directors consider necessary), or otherwise up to an aggregate nominal amount of £85,670 (representing 8,567,015 Ordinary Shares). This aggregate nominal amount represents approximately 10% of the issued Ordinary Share capital of the Company as at 27 May 2025 being the last practicable date before the publication of this document. Allotments made under the authorisation in paragraph 13.1 of Resolution 13 would be limited to allotments by way of a rights issue only (subject to the right of the Board to impose necessary or appropriate limitations to deal with, for example, fractional entitlements and regulatory matters). The authority will expire at the earlier of the close of business on 22 October 2026 and the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company.

These resolutions are in line with guidance produced by The Pre-Emption Group in November 2022. The Directors confirm that they will follow the shareholder protections in section 2B and the expected features of a follow-on offer in paragraph 3 of section 2B of the Pre-Emption Group's 2022 Statement of Principles.

Resolution 16: Purchase of Own Shares

The Board is committed to managing the Company's capital effectively and the Directors believe that it is in the interests of the Company and its shareholders to continue to have the flexibility to purchase its own shares. This Resolution seeks authority from shareholders to do so.

The effect of such purchases would be either to cancel the number of shares to be purchased or the Directors may elect to hold them in treasury pursuant to Chapter 6 of Part 18 of the Act.

Shares held in treasury may subsequently be cancelled, sold for cash or used to satisfy share options and share awards under a company's employee share scheme. Once held in treasury, a company is not entitled to exercise any rights, including the right to attend and vote at meetings, in respect of the shares. Further, no dividend or other distribution of the company's assets may be made to the company in respect of the treasury shares.

As of 31 March 2025 there were options outstanding over 5,041,026 shares, representing 5.88% of the Company's issued share capital. If the authority given by this Resolution was to be fully used, these options would represent 6.54% of the Company's issued share capital (as amended).

Resolution 17: Notice Period for General Meetings other than AGM's

The Company is currently able to call general meetings (other than AGMs) on 14 clear days' notice and would like to preserve this ability. In order to be able to do so, shareholders must have approved the calling of meetings on 14 clear days' notice. Resolution 17 seeks such approval and will be effective until the Company's AGM in 2026 when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed. The Company will also need to meet the requirements of the Act for electronic voting before it may call a general meeting on 14 clear days' notice.
