Shawbrook Group plc
Notice of Annual General Meeting
To be held at Floor 10, 40 Leadenhall Street, London, EC3A 2BJ at 10am on Thursday 21 May 2026.
THIS DOCUMENT IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION
If you are in any doubt as to the action to be taken, you should consult your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other independent financial adviser duly authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (or, if you are resident outside the UK, an appropriately qualified independent financial adviser). If you have sold or transferred all of your shares in Shawbrook Group plc, 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.
Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to invite you to attend the Annual General Meeting (the "AGM") of Shawbrook Group plc ("Shawbrook" or the "Company"), our first since being readmitted to the London Stock Exchange.
The AGM will be held at our offices at Floor 10, 40 Leadenhall Street, London, EC3A 2BJ at 10am on Thursday, 21 May 2026. Shawbrook event staff will be available at both Leadenhall Street and Fenchurch Street entrances to assist shareholders with gaining entry to the offices.
2025 was a milestone year for Shawbrook. We delivered another strong performance with underlying profit before tax of £340.5 million (£272.2 million on a statutory basis). Our return as a listed company marked an important step for the Company, providing a robust platform from which to continue the disciplined execution of our strategy. The strength of our model allowed us to continue growing responsibly, while generating an underlying return on tangible equity of 17.2%, (13.2% on a statutory basis) and maintaining our prudent approach to risk and capital.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to welcome the new investors who have joined our share register, and thank our existing shareholders for their continued support.
Questions and Voting
As a shareholder, you will be able to ask questions to the Board either in person, if you are able to attend the AGM, or by submitting questions in advance of the meeting by emailing [email protected] any time before 10am on Tuesday, 19 May 2026. This will allow questions to be addressed in a comprehensive and constructive manner during the AGM Q&A session, which will take place before the formal voting process.
We will endeavour to publish any questions received before 10am on Tuesday, 19 May 2026, and our responses to those questions, on our website prior to the AGM. Following the AGM, we will publish (on an anonymised basis) the full set of questions received (including those received after 10am on Tuesday, 19 May 2026 and at our AGM) and answers to those questions on our website. However, we reserve the right to edit questions or not to respond where we consider it appropriate to do so, taking account of our legal obligations.
You will be able to vote at the AGM in person if you attend the meeting, or by appointing a proxy in advance of the meeting. Whether or not you intend to be present at the AGM, you are strongly encouraged to appoint a proxy to cast your votes as soon as possible and to appoint the Chair of the AGM to act as your proxy for this purpose.
You can either complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy form, or submit an electronic proxy appointment instruction at www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy. In order for your vote to be counted, your instructions must be received by Computershare at the relevant address set out in the Important Notes to the Notice of Meeting by no later than Tuesday, 19 May 2026.
Completion and return of the proxy form or submission of an electronic proxy appointment will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM should you subsequently decide to do so.
All Resolutions at the AGM will be put to vote on a poll, rather than being conducted on a show of hands. On a poll, each shareholder has one vote for every share held. The results of the voting on the Resolutions will be announced to the London Stock Exchange and published on our website, as soon as reasonably possible after the conclusion of the AGM.
Recommendation
The Board considers that all Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole, and unanimously recommends that you vote in favour of them, as the Directors intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings. As at 21 April 2026 (being the last practicable date prior to the printing of this Notice of Meeting), the Directors beneficially own 2,308,802 ordinary shares, representing approximately 0.44% of the Company's ordinary shares currently in issue.
Yours faithfully
John Callender
Chair
21 April 2026

Explanatory Notes to the proposed resolutions
The explanatory notes on the following pages explain each of the proposed Resolutions. Resolutions 1 to 17 (inclusive) are proposed as ordinary resolutions. For each of these to be passed, more than half of the total votes cast must be in favour of the relevant Resolution. Resolutions 18 to 20 (inclusive) are proposed as special resolutions. For each of these to be passed, at least three-quarters of the total votes cast must be in favour of the relevant Resolution.
All Resolutions at the AGM will be put to shareholders by way of a poll rather than a show of hands. A poll vote is more representative of shareholders' voting intentions because shareholder votes are counted according to the number of shares held and all votes tendered are counted. After the meeting, the results of voting, including proxy directions to withhold votes, will be published on our website.
Ordinary Resolutions
Resolution 1 – Annual Report and Accounts
The Directors are required by the Act to present the Company's annual report and accounts to shareholders at each AGM. The 2025 Annual Report contains the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 together with the strategic report, directors' report, the remuneration report and the auditor's report.
Resolution 2 – Directors' Remuneration Report
The Directors' Remuneration Report can be found on pages 82 to 101 of the 2025 Annual Report (excluding the part containing the Directors' Remuneration Policy). It provides details of the directors' remuneration for the year ended 31 December 2025. In compliance with the Act, shareholders will be invited to approve the Directors' Remuneration Report. The vote is advisory only and the Directors' entitlement to remuneration is not conditional on this Resolution being passed.
Resolution 3 – Directors' Remuneration Policy
In accordance with the Act, the Company is required to put the Directors' Remuneration Policy, which sets out the framework for directors' remuneration, to its shareholders for approval at the first AGM following listing, and at least once every three years thereafter. The shareholders' vote on this Resolution is binding on the Company. The Directors' Remuneration Policy is set out on pages 83 to 92 of the 2025 Annual Report and shows the proposed framework for how the Company will pay its directors going forward.
The Directors' Remuneration Policy, if approved, will take effect from the date of the AGM and will remain effective for up to three years until replaced or amended by a new policy.
Resolutions 4 to 13 – Re-appointment of Directors
In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code and the Company's Articles of Association, all Directors of the Company are required to be subject to annual appointment and re-appointment by the shareholders. All of the Directors will stand for election at the forthcoming AGM. Each Director will be proposed for election pursuant to a separate Resolution, which, if approved, will take effect from the conclusion of the AGM.
Biographical details for each Director, together with information on skills, experience, contribution and committee memberships, are set out in pages 59 to 61 of the 2025 Annual Report. Details of how the Board evaluates its effectiveness can be found on page 65 of the 2025 Annual Report.
Resolutions 4, 6, 7 and 11 to 13 relate to the reappointment of John Callender, Janet Connor, Andrew Didham, Lan Tu, Michele Turmore, and Derek Weir respectively, who are the Directors that the Board has determined are independent directors for the purposes of the UK Corporate Governance Code.
Shawbrook Group plc | Notice of Annual General Meeting
Under the UK Listing Rules, because each of PSC Marlin Holdco Limited and Marlinbass Limited, is a controlling shareholder of the Company (that is, each exercises or controls more than 30% of the voting rights of the Company), the election or re-election of any independent director by shareholders must be approved by a majority vote of both:
- the shareholders of the Company; and
- the independent shareholders of the Company (that is, the shareholders of the Company entitled to vote on the election of directors who are not controlling shareholders of the Company (or treated as acting in concert with such controlling shareholders)).
Resolutions 4, 6, 7 and 11 to 13 are therefore being proposed as ordinary resolutions on which all shareholders may vote on, but in addition, the Company will separately count the number of votes cast by independent shareholders in favour of the Resolutions (as a proportion of the total votes of independent shareholders cast on the Resolutions) to determine whether the second threshold referred to in 2. above has been met. The Company will announce the results of the Resolutions on this basis as well as announcing the results of the ordinary resolutions of all shareholders.
Under the UK Listing Rules, if a resolution to elect or re-elect an independent director is not approved by a majority vote of both the shareholders as a whole and the independent shareholders of the Company at the AGM, a further resolution may be put forward to be approved by the shareholders as a whole at a meeting which must be held more than 90 days after the date of the first vote but within 120 days of the first vote. Accordingly, if any of Resolutions 4, 6, 7 and 11 to 13 is not approved by a majority vote of the Company's independent shareholders at the AGM, the relevant Director(s) will be treated as having been re-elected only for the period from the date of the AGM until the earlier of: (i) the close of any general meeting of the Company, convened for a date more than 90 days after the AGM but within 120 days of the AGM, to propose a further resolution to re-elect the Director; (ii) the date which is 120 days after the AGM; and (iii) the date of any announcement by the Board that it does not intend to hold a second vote. In the event that the Director's re-election is approved by a majority vote of all shareholders at a second meeting, the Director will then be re-elected until the next AGM.
Resolution 14 – Re-appointment of Auditor
The Company is required to appoint an Auditor at each AGM at which accounts are laid to hold office until the conclusion of the next such meeting. Accordingly, and on the unanimous recommendation of the Board's Audit Committee following its evaluation of the Auditor's effectiveness and independence, the Board proposes the re-appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company's Auditor to hold office until the conclusion of the next AGM.
Resolution 15 – Auditor remuneration
The Directors may set the remuneration of the Auditor if authorised to do so by the shareholders. This Resolution seeks authority for the Board's Audit Committee (for and on behalf of the Board) to set the external Auditor's remuneration.
Resolution 16 – Authority to make political donations and incur political expenditure
In accordance with the Act, the Company is required to seek shareholders' authority to make any political donations and/or incur political expenditure. Although the Company does not make, and does not intend to make, donations to political parties, and/or to independent election candidates within the normal meaning of that expression, the definitions of political donations and political expenditure used in the Act are very wide. As a result, they may cover activities such as funding seminars and other functions to which politicians are invited; supporting certain bodies involved in policy review and law reform; and matching employee donations to certain charities.
Therefore, in accordance with current best practice, this Resolution seeks to authorise the Company and its subsidiaries to make certain types of political donations or incur political expenditure, as described in the Resolution, up to an aggregate limit of £50,000. This authority shall expire at the conclusion of next year's AGM, or if earlier, 20 August 2027.

Resolution 17 – General authority to allot shares
Resolution 17 requests that shareholders grant the Directors authority, by way of an ordinary resolution and in line with prescribed limits, to allot shares in the Company and to grant rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into shares in the Company. Paragraph (a) of this Resolution would give the Directors the authority to allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into shares up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to £866,145.45 (representing 173,229,090 shares of £0.005 each). This amount represents approximately one-third of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 21 April 2026, the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice of Meeting.
In line with the limits set out in guidance issued by the Investment Association ("IA"), paragraph (b) of this Resolution would give the Directors authority to allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into shares in connection with a pre-emptive offer, including a rights issue or open offer, in favour of ordinary shareholders up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to £1,732,290.90 (representing 346,458,180 ordinary shares), as reduced by the nominal amount of any shares issued under paragraph (a) of this Resolution. This amount (before any reduction) represents approximately two-thirds of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 21 April 2026, the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice of Meeting.
The authority sought under this Resolution will expire at the earlier of 20 August 2027 and the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company.
The Directors have no present intention to exercise the authority sought under this Resolution.
As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, no shares are held by the Company in treasury.
Special Resolutions
Resolution 18 and 19 – General authority to disapply pre-emption rights and specific disapplication in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment
Resolutions 18 and 19 will be proposed as special resolutions. They would give the Directors the power to allot shares (or sell any ordinary shares which the Company holds in treasury) for cash without first offering them to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings.
The power set out in Resolution 18 would be limited to:
(a) pre-emptive offers, including rights issues or open offers and offers to holders of other equity securities if required by the rights of those securities, or as the Board otherwise considers necessary;
(b) otherwise, allotments or sales up to an aggregate nominal amount of £259,843.63 (representing 51,968,726 shares and approximately 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 21 April 2026, the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice of Meeting); and
(c) allotments or sales up to an additional aggregate nominal amount equal to 20% of any allotments or sales made under (b) above (so a maximum of 2%), such power to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer of a kind contemplated by Section 2B of the Pre-emption Group's Statement of Principles 2022.
Resolution 19 is intended to give the Company flexibility to make non-pre-emptive issues of ordinary shares in connection with acquisitions and specified capital investments as contemplated by the Pre-emption Group's Statement of Principles 2022. The power under Resolution 19 is in addition to that proposed by Resolution 18 and would be limited to:
(i) allotments or sales of up to an aggregate nominal amount of £259,843.63 (representing 51,968,726 shares and an additional 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 21 April 2026, the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice of Meeting); and
Shawbrook Group plc | Notice of Annual General Meeting
(ii) allotments or sales up to an additional aggregate nominal amount equal to 20% of any allotments or sales made under (i) above (so a maximum of 2%), such power to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer of a kind contemplated by Section 2B of the Pre-emption Group's Statement of Principles 2022.
The limits in Resolutions 18 and 19 are in line with those set out in the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles 2022.
The Directors have no present intention to exercise the powers sought by Resolutions 18 or 19. If the powers sought by Resolutions 18 or 19 are used in relation to a non-pre-emptive offer, the Directors confirm their intention to follow the shareholder protections in paragraph 1 of Part 2B of the Pre-emption Group's Statement of Principles 2022 and, where relevant, follow the expected features of a follow-on offer as set out in paragraph 3 of Part 2B of the Pre-emption Group's Statement of Principles 2022.
The powers under Resolutions 18 and 19 will expire at the earlier of 20 August 2027 and the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company.
Resolution 20 – Notice period for general meetings
This Resolution is proposed as a special resolution.
The Act permits general meetings (other than AGMs) of a listed company to be called on at least 14 clear days' notice, provided shareholders approve this by special resolution.
This Resolution allows the Company to hold general meetings (other than AGMs) on 14 clear days' notice. The shorter notice period will not be used as a matter of routine, but only in circumstances where time-sensitive matters merit the flexibility afforded by the shorter notice period. The Directors consider this authority to be in the best interests of the Company and shareholders as a whole, providing flexibility when circumstances require prompt decision-making.
Important Notes
The following notes explain your general rights as a shareholder and your right to attend and vote at this AGM or appoint someone else on your behalf:
-
Attending and voting at the AGM: Only shareholders entered on the Company's register of members at close of business on 19 May 2026 will be entitled to attend, speak and vote at the AGM. If the AGM is adjourned, only shareholders entered on the company's register of members 48 hours (excluding any part of a day that is not a working day) before the time of the adjourned meeting will be entitled to attend, speak and vote at the meeting. Changes to entries on the register after the deadlines noted above will be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting.
-
Appointment of proxies: You can appoint one or more people to attend, speak and vote at the AGM on your behalf (your proxy). Your proxy does not need to be a shareholder or Director of the Company but must attend the AGM for your vote to be counted. Your proxy must vote as you instruct and must attend the AGM for your vote to be counted. A proxy form, which may be used to make such appointment and give proxy instructions, accompanies this Notice of Meeting.
Shareholders are strongly encouraged to appoint the Chair of the AGM (rather than a named person) as their proxy and to submit voting instructions in advance of the AGM.
You can appoint more than one proxy, as long as each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by you. To appoint more than one proxy, you may photocopy the proxy form accompanying this Notice of Meeting. Please indicate the proxy holder's name and the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy (which, in aggregate, should not exceed the number of shares held by you). Please also indicate if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All proxy forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope. A failure to specify the number of shares to which each proxy appointment relates or specifying a number more than those held by you will result in the appointment being invalid.

The message must be received by the issuer's agent (ID 3RA50), by 10am on Tuesday, 19 May 2026 or, in the event of an adjournment of the AGM, no less than 48 hours before the stated time of the adjourned meeting (excluding any part of a day that is not a working day). The time of receipt will be deemed to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.
CREST members, sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member, personal member, sponsored member or voting service provider(s) to take necessary actions to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time.
CREST members, sponsors or voting service providers are particularly referred to the 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).
