Dear Shareholder

On behalf of the Directors of Zip Co Limited ("Zip"), I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in the Zip Share Purchase Plan ("SPP").

The SPP gives Eligible Shareholders (as defined in the SPP Offer Document) the opportunity to acquire up to $30,000 of new fully paid ordinary shares in Zip ("New Shares") without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs. The SPP aims to raise approximately $50 million (before costs) and is not underwritten. Zip may decide to increase this cap and accept oversubscriptions and/or scale back applications under the SPP at its absolute discretion.

As announced to the ASX on Monday, 28 February 2022 and Tuesday, 1 March 2022, Zip successfully conducted a fully underwritten placement of new fully paid ordinary shares to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors raising $148.7 million (before costs) at an issue price of $1.90 per share (the "Placement"). The Placement was undertaken in conjunction with ZIP's announcement that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement under which it has agreed to acquire Sezzle, Inc. (ASX:SZL) in an all-scrip transaction (the "Proposed Transaction"). The Placement was not conditional on completion of the Proposed Transaction occurring. Further details about the Placement and the Proposed Transaction are contained in the announcements released by Zip to ASX.

Zip intends to use the proceeds of the Placement and the SPP to help Zip strengthen its balance sheet and position Zip for sustainable growth by providing more capital runway to execute on potential synergies from the Proposed Transaction. If the Proposed Transaction does not complete, the proceeds of the Placement and the SPP will still be used by Zip to help Zip strengthen its balance sheet and position Zip for sustainable growth and for general working capital purposes.
