Following the AGM: (i) a meeting of the holders of B preference shares of 1 pence each in the capital of the Company (the "B Class Meeting"), opened at 3.25 pm on 22 June 2023; and (ii) a meeting of the holders of C preference shares of 1 pence each in the capital of the Company (the "C Class Meeting"), opened at 3.35 pm on 22 June 2023. The B Class Meeting and C Class Meeting were adjourned due to a lack of quorum.

Notice is hereby given that:

(A)  the B Class Meeting has been adjourned to 10.00 am on Monday 3 July 2023 at Whitbread Court, Houghton Hall Business Park, Porz Avenue, Dunstable, LU5 5XE (the "Adjourned B Class Meeting"); and

(B)  the C Class Meeting has been adjourned to 10.05 am (or immediately following the conclusion of the Adjourned B Class Meeting, if later) on Monday 3 July 2023 at Whitbread Court, Houghton Hall Business Park, Porz Avenue, Dunstable, LU5 5XE (the "Adjourned C Class Meeting").

Further information concerning the business to be transacted at the Adjourned B Class Meeting and Adjourned C Class Meeting is set out in the Notice of B Class Meeting dated 18 May 2023 and the Notice of C Class Meeting dated 18 May 2023, copies of which are available on the Company's website at https://www.whitbread.co.uk/investors/shareholder-centre/general-meetings/.

Resolution 24, which was passed by the holders of ordinary shares at the Annual General Meeting, was contingent on the passing of resolutions at each of the B and C Share Class meetings and will therefore only come into effect in the event that the resolutions are approved at the Adjourned B Class Meeting and Adjourned C Class Meeting on 3 July 2023.
