BEEKS FINANCIAL CLOUD GROUP PLC (Registered in Scotland with No. SC521839)

NOTICE OF 2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the 2021 annual general meeting of Beeks Financial Cloud Group plc (the "Company") will be held at Lumina Building, 40 Ainslie Road, Hillington Park, Glasgow, Scotland, G52 4RU on 15 December 2021 at 1.30 p.m.

The board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") recognises that the annual general meeting ("AGM") typically represents an opportunity to engage with members, and provides a forum that enables members to ask questions of, and speak with, the Board. The Government's lifting of the restrictions on large gatherings means we are delighted to be able to invite shareholders to attend the AGM in person this year.

Of course, the health of our colleagues, shareholders and others involved in the AGM remains of paramount importance to us. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic the AGM venue currently has a number of COVID secure measures in place. If shareholders plan to attend the AGM in person, they are asked to email the Company at investor@ beeksgroup.com by 10.00 a.m. on 13 December 2021 to confirm that intention, giving details of their name and shareholder reference number. The Company is asking shareholders to do this so that it can seek to put in place any appropriate measures to comply with the then current Government restrictions and guidelines (to the extent there are any) regarding public gatherings and social distancing. At the time

of writing, should you wish to attend the AGM in person, on arrival at the venue you will be requested to complete the NHS Scotland Test & Protect check-in and will also be required to observe social distancing measures and wear a face covering (unless exempt).

We will continue to closely monitor developments relating to COVID-19, including any further legislation or guidance that may be introduced and will

keep you updated should the plans for our AGM change. Any changes to the arrangements for the AGM (including any change to its location) will be communicated to members before the meeting through our website (www.beeksgroup.com) and by RNS announcement.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the fact that restrictions and guidelines as to public gatherings and social distancing can be altered at short notice, we strongly encourage voting on all resolutions by completing a proxy appointment form appointing the 'Chair of the Meeting' as your proxy. The results of the proxy votes on the proposed resolutions

will be announced in the normal way as soon as practicable after the conclusion of the AGM.

To consider and, if thought fit, passing the following resolutions, of which resolutions 1 to 6 (inclusive) will be proposed as ordinary resolutions and resolutions 7 to 9 (inclusive) will be proposed as special resolutions:-
