KIN + CARTA NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Letter from the Chairman of Kin and Carta plc

Resolution 2 - Approval of the 2023 Directors' remuneration report

The Act requires quoted companies to present a remuneration report to their shareholders. This report for the year ended 31 July 2023 is set out in the letter from the Chair of the Remuneration Committee and the annual report on remuneration, on pages 152 to 177 of the Annual Report and Accounts.

Resolution 2 is seeking shareholder approval of the Directors' remuneration report (excluding the part containing the Directors' remuneration policy). This is an advisory vote and, as such, no entitlement of a Director to remuneration is conditional on it.

Under the Act, the Directors' remuneration policy is subject to shareholder approval at least every three years. The policy was last approved by shareholders at the 2022 AGM and remains unchanged. Therefore, it is not required to be put to shareholders and this AGM.

Resolutions 3 and 4 - Re-appointment of auditor and auditor's remuneration

The Company is required under the Act to appoint an auditor at each general meeting at which the accounts are presented, to hold office until the conclusion of the next such meeting.

Resolution 3 authorises the re-appointment of KPMG as the Company's auditor to hold office until the next general meeting of the Company at which the accounts and reports of the Directors and auditors are laid.

Resolution 4 authorises the Audit Committee to set the remuneration of the auditor. In accordance with its terms of reference, the Company's Audit Committee will approve the auditor's remuneration and terms of engagement and make recommendations to the Board.

Resolutions 5 to 11 - Directors seeking re-election

In accordance with the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code (the 'Code') each Director is required to retire at the AGM. All the Directors are standing for re-election this year.

Biographies of each of the Directors seeking re-election including why their specific contribution is, and continues to be, important to the Company's long-term sustainable success, can be found on pages 5 to

7 of this document. The Board considers that each of the Directors brings valuable skills and experience to the Board. Performance evaluations of each Director have taken place. Following those evaluations, the Board considers that the performance of each Director who was assessed continues to be effective and they each demonstrate the commitment required to continue in his or her present role. Further details of the performance evaluations may be found on pages 138 and 139 of the Annual Report and Accounts. In addition, the Board has determined (including by considering each Director's length of tenure) that all Non-Executive Directors standing for re-election at the AGM are independent.

Resolution 12 - Allotment of share capital

Resolution 12 seeks to renew the Directors' existing authority to allot shares which is due to expire at the conclusion of the AGM.

Under the Act, the Directors may not allot new shares in the Company without the authority of shareholders in general meeting, except for the issue of shares under the Company's share or share option plans. The authority contained in Resolution 12(a) is a general authority permitting the Directors to allot shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of £5,931,045 and the authority contained in Resolution 12(b) gives the Directors additional authority to allot equity securities up to an aggregate nominal amount of £5,931,045 where the allotment is in connection with a fully pre-emptive offer.

These amounts represent approximately one-third of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) and together approximately two-thirds of the issued share capital of the Company as at 1 November 2023 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this letter).

If approved, these authorities will expire at the conclusion of the Company's next AGM (or, if earlier, on

7 March 2025). The Directors have no present intention of exercising these authorities. However, the Directors continue to consider potential investment opportunities and, in the event of one of these potential investment opportunities proceeding, this may require the allotment of shares pursuant to these authorities. These authorities are in accordance with the guidance issued by the Investment Association.

As at 1 November 2023, the Company held 90,637 treasury shares, representing approximately 0.05% of the Company's ordinary issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) at that date.

The remaining resolutions will be proposed as special resolutions:

KIN + CARTA NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Resolutions 13 and 14 - Disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights

Resolutions 13 and 14 seek authority for the Directors to allot shares in the capital of the Company pursuant to the authority granted under Resolution 12 above for cash disapplying the pre-emption rights in the Act in certain circumstances. These authorities are in accordance with the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles

on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights (the 'Pre-Emption Principles'). The Pre-Emption Principles were revised in November 2022 to allow the authority for an issue of shares for cash otherwise than in connection with a preemptive offer to include: (i) an authority up to 10% of a company's issued share capital for use on an unrestricted basis; and (ii) an additional authority up to a further 10% of a company's issued share capital for use in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment announced contemporaneously with the issue, or has taken place in the twelve month period preceding the announcement of the issue. In both cases, an additional authority of up to 2% may be sought for the purposes of making a follow-on offer, as further explained below.

Resolution 13 will permit the Directors to allot equity securities and sell treasury shares, pursuant to the authority to allot sought in Resolution 12:

  1. in connection with an offer to existing shareholders subject to any adjustments, such as for fractional entitlements and overseas shareholders, as the Directors see fit, subject to the limits set out in Resolution 12 and in the case of sub-paragraph (b) of Resolution 12 in connection with a fully pre-emptive offer only; and
  2. up to a maximum nominal value of £1,779,313, representing approximately 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 1 November 2023 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document) otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders; and as a follow- on offer, equity securities for cash and sell treasury shares up to an aggregate maximum nominal amount of 20% of any allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares allotted pursuant to sub-paragraph (b) of Resolution 13.

Resolution 14 will permit the Directors to allot additional equity securities for cash and sell treasury shares up to a maximum nominal value of £1,779,313, representing approximately a further 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 1 November 2023 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document), otherwise then in connection with a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders for the purposes of financing or refinancing a transaction as contemplated by the Pre-Emption Principles described above.

In addition, sub-paragraph (b) of Resolution 14 will permit the Directors to allot, by way of a follow-on offer, equity securities for cash and sell treasury shares up to an aggregate maximum nominal amount of 20% of any allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares allotted pursuant to sub-paragraph (a) of Resolution 14. The proceeds of any follow-on offer under this authority can only however be used for the purposes of financing or refinancing a transaction, as is the case of the authority under sub-paragraph (a) of Resolution 14.

The Directors consider that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders generally that the Company should seek the maximum authority permitted by the Pre-Emption Principles and have the flexibility conferred by Resolutions 13 and 14 to conduct a pre-emptive offering without complying with the strict requirements of the statutory pre-emption provisions and to finance business opportunities quickly and efficiently when they arise in line with the Company's strategy for growth.

Whilst embracing the flexibility conferred by the authorities sought in Resolutions 13 and 14, the Directors recognise that any existing shareholder may be keen to participate in a non pre-emptive offer carried out under these authorities. The Directors are therefore supportive of the follow-on offer approach set out in the Pre-Emption Principles, which may be used to facilitate the participation of existing retail investors, who were not allocated shares in the non pre-emptive offer. The features of follow-on offers are set out in the Pre-Emption Principles but broadly a follow-on offer should: (i) be made to all existing shareholders (other than those who participated in the non pre-emptive offer); (ii) entitle shareholders to subscribe for shares up to a maximum of £30,000 each, at the same price (or lower than) the non pre-emptive offer; and (iii) be open for a period which allows shareholders to become aware of and make an investment decision in relation to the offer.

The Directors confirm that they intend to follow the shareholder protections contained in Part 2B of the Pre-Emption Principles and that it intends to follow the expected features of a follow-on offer as set out in paragraph 3 of Part 2B of the Statement of Principles.

The authorities contained in Resolutions 13 and 14 will expire upon the expiry of the authority to allot shares conferred in Resolution 12 (that is at the conclusion of the next AGM (or, if earlier, 7 March 2025)).

The Directors confirm, in accordance with the Pre-Emption Principles, that they do not intend to issue shares for cash representing more than 7.5% of the issued share capital of the Company (including treasury shares) in any rolling three-year period other than to existing shareholders, save as permitted in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment as described above, without prior consultation with shareholders.

KIN + CARTA NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Letter from the Chairman of Kin and Carta plc

Resolution 15 - Authority for the Company to purchase its own shares

Resolution 15 will be proposed to authorise the Company to purchase its own ordinary shares in the market as permitted by the Act.

The authority limits the number of shares that could be purchased to a maximum of 17,793,136 representing approximately 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at

1 November 2023 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document) and sets minimum and maximum prices. This authority will expire at the conclusion of the next AGM (or, if earlier, 7 March 2025).

The Act allows listed companies, with authorisation from shareholders, to buy and hold their shares instead of cancelling them immediately. Shares purchased under this authority and held in treasury can in the future be cancelled, re-sold or used to provide shares for employee share plans. No dividends are paid on shares held in treasury and no voting rights attach to treasury shares.

If Resolution 15 is passed, the Directors intend to use this authority to make market purchases to be held in treasury in order to satisfy both the vesting of share scheme awards and share-based consideration for existing and future acquisitions. The authority will only be exercised where, in light of market conditions at the time, the Directors believe that to do so would result in an increase in earnings per share and would be in the interests of shareholders generally. Any purchases of ordinary shares would be by market purchases on the London Stock Exchange. It is the Company's current intention to hold in treasury all of the shares it may purchase pursuant to the authority granted to it. However, in order to respond properly to the Company's capital requirements and prevailing market conditions, the Directors would need to reassess at the time of any and each actual purchase whether to hold the shares in treasury or cancel them, provided it is permitted to do so.

As at 1 November 2023 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document), there were options over 10,338,307 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company representing approximately 5.8% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares). If the authority to purchase the Company's ordinary shares being sought in Resolution 15 and the existing authority to purchase ordinary shares taken at last year's AGM (which expires at the end of this year's AGM) were exercised in full, these options would represent approximately 7.4% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares).

Resolution 16 - Notice for calling a general meeting

Under the Act, the notice period required for general meetings of the Company is 21 clear days but shareholders can approve a shorter notice period, as long as this is not less than 14 clear days. AGMs must always be held on at least 21 clear days' notice.

In order to maintain flexibility for the Company, Resolution 16 seeks approval for the Company to call general meetings, other than AGMs, on not less than 14 clear days' notice. The approval will be effective until the Company's next AGM, when it is likely that a similar resolution will be proposed. The flexibility offered by this resolution would not be used as a matter of routine for general meetings, but only where, taking into account the circumstances, the Directors consider it is appropriate to the business of the meeting and in the interests of the Company and the shareholders as a whole, including whether the business of the meeting is time sensitive.

Recommendation

Your Board considers the resolutions will promote the success of the Company and are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the resolutions as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings.

Yours sincerely

John Kerr

Chairman

KIN + CARTA NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Notes

  1. A shareholder of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of his rights to attend, speak and vote at the AGM provided that, where multiple proxies are appointed, each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attaching to different shares held by the shareholder. Your proxy could be the Chair of the meeting or another person who has agreed to represent you. Your proxy must vote as you instruct and must attend the AGM for your vote to be counted. Your proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. Where you appoint someone other than the Chair of the AGM as your proxy, you are responsible for ensuring they attend the AGM and are aware of your voting intentions. If you wish your proxy to make any comments on your behalf, you will need to appoint someone other than the Chair and give them the relevant instructions directly.
  2. Shareholders who prefer to register the appointment of their proxy electronically can do so by visiting www.kinandcarta-shares.co.uk and following the instructions provided. For an electronic proxy appointment to be valid, it must be submitted via the Kin + Carta share portal at www.kinandcarta-shares.co.uk and received no later than 2.30pm on Tuesday, 5 December 2023 (being 48 hours before the time of the meeting). A form of proxy for use by shareholders to register the appointment of their proxy can be obtained from the Company's registrars, Link Group, on request, via email at shareholderenquiries@linkgroup.co.uk or the helpline: calls from the UK 0371 664 0300 and calls from overseas +44 371 664 0300. Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. Calls outside the United Kingdom will be charged at the applicable international rate. Lines are open between 9.00am and 5.30pm, Monday to Friday excluding public holidays in England and Wales. Forms of proxy must be returned to the Company's registrar at Link Group, PXS1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL so that they are received no later than 2.30pm on Tuesday, 5 December 2023 (being 48 hours before the time of the meeting).
  3. To appoint more than one proxy (unless you are appointing your proxies via the CREST electronic proxy appointment service, in which case see note 6), please photocopy the form of proxy. Please insert the name (in block capitals) of each of your proxies on a separate copy of the form of proxy. On each copy of the form of proxy you must also include the number of shares in respect of which each proxy is appointed (which, in aggregate, should not exceed the number of shares held by you) and indicate how you wish each proxy to vote or abstain from voting. You may not appoint more than one proxy to exercise the rights attached to any one share. Please also indicate by ticking the box that the proxy is one of multiple instructions being given. Additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Registrars' helpline: see note 2 above. If you wish to appoint the Chair of the meeting as one of your multiple proxies, simply leave the wording of 'the Chair of the meeting' on the relevant copy of the form of proxy. Please ensure you sign and date each copy of the form of proxy and, if returned by post, include them in the same envelope.
  4. To change your proxy instructions, you may return a new proxy appointment using the methods set out above. Where you have appointed a proxy using the hard copy proxy form and would like to change the instructions using another hard copy proxy form, please contact the Registrars (see note 2 above). The deadline for receipt of proxy appointments (see note 5 below) also applies in relation to amended instructions. Any attempt to terminate or amend a proxy appointment received after the relevant deadline will be disregarded. Where two or more valid separate appointments of proxy are received in respect of the same share in respect of the same meeting, the one which is last sent shall be treated as replacing and revoking the other or others.
  5. In order to be valid, the form of proxy must be received by the Company not less than 48 hours (excluding non- working days) before the time of the AGM or, if the meeting is adjourned, not less than 48 hours prior (excluding non-working days) to the time of the adjourned meeting, and be returned by one of the following methods: either (i) in hard copy form by post, by courier or by hand to Kin and Carta plc's Registrars, Link Group, PXS1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL; or (ii) in the case of CREST shareholders, by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service in accordance with the procedures set out in note 6.
  6. CREST shareholders who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by utilising the procedures described in the CREST Manual on the Euroclear website (www.euroclear.com). CREST personal shareholders or other CREST sponsored shareholders, and those CREST shareholders who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
