Letter from the Chair

222 Gray's Inn Road London WC1X 8HB
5th June 2025
Dear Shareholder,
Having been appointed Chair from 5th June 2024 it gives me great pleasure to invite you, on behalf of the directors of Pod Point (together the 'Directors' or the 'Board'), to attend the 2025 AGM which, in line with our remote first philosophy in relation to meetings, will be held by means of a virtual meeting on Monday 30th June 2025 at 2.00pm.
The formal notice of the 2025 AGM (the 'Notice') is set out on page 5 of this document, detailing the resolutions that the shareholders are being asked to vote on, with explanatory notes of the business to be conducted at the 2025 AGM on pages 9 to 10. Details of the arrangements for the AGM are set out on pages 6 to 8 and pages 14 to 15. The Board supports the principle that annual general meetings should provide shareholders with an opportunity to communicate with the Directors and will make every effort to allow shareholders to ask questions and speak with the Directors at the 2025 AGM and we look forward to welcoming your participation.
As previously announced, Mike Killick, who was appointed as Interim Chief Financial Officer in October 2024, has taken a leave of absence due to ill-health and has stepped down from the Board during this period of absence. Mike will therefore not stand for election at the AGM. Philippe Commaret, an EDF nominated Director, stepped down in January 2025 due to other business commitments and Norma Dove-Edwin and Erika Schraner, independent Non-Executive Directors, notified the Company that they do not intend to offer themselves for re-election at the 2025 AGM, to enable them to pursue other opportunities that align with their current professional goals and other commitments.
On 24th April 2025, we announced that the Board had received a non-binding proposal from EDF Energy Customers Limited to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company that it does not already own. Due to the impact of the non-binding proposal on the Company's financial statements, we also announced that we were delaying the publication of our results for the financial year ended 31 December 2024.
To ensure that we give our auditors as much time as possible to finalise their work, and that we allow sufficient time for the Company's shareholders to consider the results, the standard shareholder resolutions relating to receiving the audited financial statements and the auditor's and directors' reports, approving the directors' remuneration report and policy and the appointment and remuneration of our auditors, will be tabled at a separate 'accounts meeting' of shareholders expected to be held before the end of July. Notice of this general meeting will be given to shareholders (and the annual report and accounts will be published) in due course.
The Directors believe that the resolutions set out in the Notice (the 'Resolutions') are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of all the Resolutions. The Directors who own Ordinary Shares intend to vote in favour of the Resolutions.
If I am appointed as proxy I will, of course, vote in accordance with any instructions given to me. If I am given discretion as to how to vote, I will vote in favour of each of the Resolutions.
The following is a brief summary of the business of the 2025 AGM:
In line with best corporate governance practice, voting on the business of the meeting will be conducted on a poll. I would encourage shareholders to exercise their right to vote in the following ways:
The results of voting on the Resolutions will be released by RNS and posted on the Company's website following the AGM. I look forward to seeing you at the AGM.
Yours faithfully
Andy Palmer Non-Executive Chair
Registered Office: 222 Gray's Inn Road, London WC1X 8HB Company Number: 12431376
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of Pod Point Group Holdings plc (the 'Company') will be held at 2.00pm (BST time) on Monday 30th June 2025 by means of a virtual meeting to consider and, if thought appropriate, pass the following resolutions of which Resolutions 1 to 8 will be proposed as ordinary resolutions and Resolution 9 will be proposed as a special resolution.
THAT, Gareth Davis be re-elected as a Director of the Company.
provided that the total amount of all such donations and expenditure made by all companies to which this authority relates shall not exceed £25,000. This authority shall expire at the close of the next annual general meeting of the Company or on 5th September 2026 (whichever is earlier). Words and expressions used in this resolution that are defined for the purpose of Part 14 of the Act shall have the same meaning for the purpose of this resolution.
5th June 2025
For additional Forms of Proxy you may photocopy the Form of Proxy provided with this document indicating on each copy the name of the proxy you wish to appoint and the number of Ordinary Shares in the Company in respect of which the proxy is appointed. All Forms of Proxy should be returned together in the same envelope.
Please note that all Forms of Proxy and electronic proxy appointments must be received by 2.00pm (UK time) on Thursday 26th June 2025 or, if the meeting is adjourned, 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time fixed for the adjourned meeting. The form must be executed.
Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers, provided that if two or more representatives purport to vote in respect of the same shares:
(a) if they purport to exercise the power in the same way as each other, the power is treated as exercised in that way; and
(b) in other cases, the power is treated as not exercised.
You can also ask questions relating to the business of the AGM on the day of the AGM via https://meetings.lumiconnect.com/ 100-870-153-093. This facility will not be available prior to the day of the AGM itself.
The Company is required to answer questions relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting but no such answer need be given if (a) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information, or (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 meeting that the question be answered. For further details on how to ask questions at the meeting, please refer to pages 14 to 15 which provide a user guide for shareholders to ask questions remotely.
Throughout these notes, all references to 'the Act' are to the Companies Act 2006 (as amended).
Resolutions 1 to 8 are proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution. Resolutions 9 is proposed as a special resolution. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, at least three quarters of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution.
In accordance with Provision 18 of the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code (which requires that directors should seek re-election by shareholders on an annual basis) all of the Directors will seek re-election at the AGM, other than Norma Dove-Edwin and Erika Schraner who will step down from the Board at the AGM. Separate resolutions are proposed for each of the re-elections.
The Board has reviewed the role of each of the Directors standing for re-election and remains satisfied that each of such Directors continues to have the skills and competence to carry out their responsibilities as a member of the Board and continues to make an effective and valuable contribution to the Board and demonstrates commitment to the role. Biographical details for the Directors standing for re-election are provided on pages 11 to 13 below.
Under the UK Listing Rules, EDF Energy Customers Limited is classed as a 'controlling shareholder' of the Company. This means that the independent Non-Executive Directors of the Company must be re-elected by a majority of the votes cast by the independent shareholders of the Company, as well as by a majority of the votes cast by all the shareholders. The concept of the independent shareholders of the Company means all the shareholders of the Company other than EDF Energy Customers Limited and its associates. Therefore, the resolutions for the re-election of the independent Non-Executive Directors (Resolutions 3 to 6) will be taken on a poll and the votes cast by the independent shareholders and by all the shareholders will be calculated separately. Such resolutions will be passed only if a majority of the votes cast by the independent shareholders are in favour, in addition to a majority of the votes cast by all the shareholders being in favour. If the ordinary resolution to approve the re-election of an existing independent Director is passed, but separate approval by the independent shareholders is not given, the UK Listing Rules permit an existing independent Director to remain in office pending a further ordinary resolution of all the shareholders to approve the re-election of that Director. Such a resolution may only be voted on within the period of between 90 days and 120 days following the date of the original vote. The Company will, on announcing the results of the AGM, announce, in respect of Resolutions 1 to 6, the result of both the vote of all the Company's shareholders and the vote of the independent shareholders. If separate independent shareholder approval is not given for any relevant resolution, the Company intends that the relevant Director's appointment will continue for 120 days from the date of the original vote, unless a further ordinary resolution for re-election is passed. If a further resolution to approve the re-election of the relevant Director is defeated, his or her appointment will cease on that resolution being defeated.
None of the independent Non-Executive Directors seeking re-election at the 2025 AGM has any existing or previous relationship, transaction or arrangement with the Company, the other Directors, any controlling shareholder of the Company or any associate of a controlling shareholder of the Company, within the meaning of UK Listing Rule 10.6.16R (1) other than as disclosed in this Notice of Meeting.
It is not proposed or intended to alter the Company's policy of not making political donations, within the normal meaning of that expression. However, it may be that some of the Company's activities may fall within the potentially wide definition of a political donation in the Act and, without the necessary authorisation, the Company's ability to communicate its views effectively to political audiences and to relevant interest groups could be inhibited. Such activities may include briefings at receptions or conferences – when the Company seeks to communicate its views on issues vital to its business interests – including, for example, conferences of a party political nature or of special interest groups in specific areas. Accordingly, the Directors believe that the authority contained in this resolution is necessary to allow it (and its subsidiaries) to fund activities which it is in the interests of shareholders to support. The authority will enable the Company and its subsidiaries to be sure that they do not, because of any uncertainty as to the bodies or the activities covered by the Act, unintentionally commit a technical breach of the Act. Any expenditure which may be incurred under authority of this resolution will be disclosed in next year's annual report.
Under the Act, the directors of a company may only allot new shares (or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into shares) if authorised to do so by the shareholders in a general meeting. The authority proposed under Resolution 8 will allow the Directors to allot new shares and to grant rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into shares up to a nominal value of £52,300, which is equivalent to one third of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company, exclusive of treasury shares, as at 28th May 2025, being the last practicable date before publication of this Notice. The Company does not currently hold any of its Ordinary Shares in treasury.
The Directors have no present intention to allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares pursuant to this authority. However, the Directors consider it desirable to have the flexibility to respond to market developments and to enable allotments to take place in appropriate circumstances. Given the Company's current capital structure, the Directors do not consider it necessary to seek the additional authority to allot up to a total of approximately 66% of the total issued Ordinary Share capital of the Company, in connection with a rights issue, as permitted by the guidance of the Investment Association.
If this resolution is passed the authority will expire on the conclusion of the next annual general meeting or at 6.00 p.m. on 5th September 2026, whichever is the earlier.
The Act requires that the notice period for general meetings of the Company should be 21 days unless shareholders approve a shorter notice period, which cannot be less than 14 clear days. The Company is currently able to call general meetings (other than an annual general meeting) 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. This approval will be effective until the Company's next annual general meeting, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed. In the event that a general meeting is called on less than 21 clear days' notice, then the Company will meet the requirements for electronic voting under section 8 of the Companies (Shareholders' Rights Regulations) 2009 in order to be able to call a general meeting on 14 clear days' notice. CREST voting will be permitted to fulfil these requirements.
The Company will not use the authority to call a general meeting on 14 clear days' notice as a matter of routine, and only in circumstances where the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting, the proposals are time-sensitive or where it would be to the advantage of the members as a whole and moreover where the proposals are not of a complexity that might require more time for consideration by members.
Resolution 9 will be proposed as a special resolution.
