Dear Shareholder,

Introduction

The purpose of this letter is to provide you with a brief summary and explanation of the resolutions proposed by Eight Capital Partners plc ("Eight Capital Partners" or the "Company") as set out in the attached notice convening an Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of the Company at 11.00 am on Friday, 6 October 2023 (the "Notice of AGM"). The meeting will be held at the Company's administrative office at 50 Sloane Avenue, London SW3 3DD.

The Company would like to propose the following Ordinary Resolutions at the AGM:

Resolution 1

Resolution 1 is to receive and adopt the Company's re-issued financial statements and the report of the directors and auditors for the year ended 31 December 2021. Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity at the meeting to ask questions about the results and the reasons for the re-issuing.

Resolutions 4, 5 & 6

All the directors' biographies can be found at https://www.eight.capital/investors/board-of- directors/.

Resolution 7

Resolution 7 authorises the Board to allot and issue shares in the Company or grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any securities into shares in the Company up to 250,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company's issued Ordinary Share capital, such authority to expire at the next AGM or fifteen months after the passing of this resolution, whichever date is the earlier.

Subject to the passing of Resolution 7, the Company is also proposing the following Special Resolution at the AGM:

Resolution 8

The Companies Act 2006 (the "Act") requires that any equity securities issued for cash must first be offered to existing shareholders pro rata to their holdings unless approval is obtained by special resolution to dis-apply this requirement. In order to retain flexibility to raise further capital quickly to meet its funding requirements under its current projects as well as to be able to take advantage of prospective new projects, the Company is seeking disapplication of pre-emption rights over all shares to be issued pursuant to Resolution 7. It is proposed that this authority also be renewed for the same period as the authority under Resolution 7

Resolutions 1-7 require over 50% voting in favour to be passed. Resolution 8 requires 75% to vote in favour to be passed.

Shareholders entitled to attend the AGM

All Shareholders registered as holding ordinary shares of the Company at 6.30 pm BST on 4 October 2023 or, if adjourned, 6.30 pm on the day that is the second day prior to the date of the adjourned AGM (not including any day that is not a business day) shall be (unless

2

otherwise entitled to do so) entitled to attend the AGM and vote on the Resolutions proposed.

Attached to the Notice of AGM accompanying this letter is a Proxy Form for use by Shareholders. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the AGM or, if they are unable to attend in person, to complete, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude the Shareholder from attending and voting at the AGM in person.
