Notes:

 

1. Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chair have been included in Votes For.

 

2. Votes For and Votes Against are expressed as a percentage of Total Votes Cast, which includes Votes For and Votes Against, but excludes the Votes Withheld. Percentages are rounded to 2 decimal places.

 

3. A Vote Withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the Votes For or Votes Against a resolution.

 

4. Total Votes Cast includes the Votes For and Votes Against, but excludes the Votes Withheld.

 

5. Total Votes Cast as a % of Issued Share Capital is based on 238,662,231 PensionBee Group plc ordinary shares in issue as at 14 May 2026. Ordinary shareholders are entitled to one vote per share held.

 

* Under the UK Listing Rules, because Romi Savova is a controlling shareholder of the Company (that is, she exercises or controls more than 30% of the voting rights of the Company), the election of any independent director by shareholders must be approved by a majority vote of both: (1) the shareholders of the Company; and (2) 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). Under the UK Listing Rules, anyone who holds shares in the Company and is deemed to be acting in concert with Romi Savova is also treated as a controlling shareholder for the purposes of these voting requirements. Therefore, the votes of these persons are excluded when calculating the votes of the independent shareholders. Resolutions 8 to 11 were therefore proposed as ordinary resolutions which all shareholders may vote on, but in addition, the Company separately counts 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) has been met.
