Meeting arrangements

The Board is keen to welcome shareholders in person to the Company's 2023 Annual General Meeting. However, shareholders

who are either not able or who would prefer not to attend the meeting in person will be able to follow the meeting using the online Investor Meet Company ("IMC") platform. Shareholders who are not already registered to the IMC platform will need to register withIMC, for which there is no charge, and add "to meet" Gresham Technologies plc to register attendance, using the following link:

https://investormeetcompany.com/gresham-technologies-plc/register-investor.

Advance registration to attend the meeting in this manner is required. Shareholders who have already registered to the IMC platform will be able to add to meet the Company to register attendance at the AGM.

Questions relating to the business to be conducted at the AGM can be submitted ahead of the meeting via the IMC dashboard or at any time during the meeting via the "Ask a Question" function. Alternatively, questions may be submitted at least 48 hours in advance of the Annual General Meeting via an email sent to investorrelations@greshamtech.com.

Although the Company may not be in a position to answer every question it receives, it will endeavour to address the most prominent within the confines of information already disclosed to the market. Responses to the Q&A will be published at the earliest opportunity on the IMC platform. Shareholder feedback can also be submitted directly after the meeting to ensure the Company is in a position to understand the views of all shareholders.

Proxies and voting

Votes will be taken at the AGM on a poll but the online IMC platform will not include a facility for attendees to vote live. Accordingly, whether or not you propose to attend the meeting in person, shareholders are encouraged to appoint the Chair of the meeting

(or their own choice of person) as their proxy (either electronically or by post) with their voting instructions. This will ensure that your vote is counted on the poll vote to be taken at the meeting if you do not attend the meeting in person.

A proxy form for use in relation to the meeting is enclosed for this purpose. You are requested to complete, sign and return the proxy form in accordance with the instructions printed on it either, by post to Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing BN99 6DA or (as directed in the form) by authenticated email sent to proxyvotes@equiniti.com as soon as possible but, in any event, so as to be received by no later than 10.00 a.m. on Friday 19 May 2023. Shareholders are reminded that, if their ordinary shares are held in the name of a nominee, only that nominee may submit a proxy vote. Institutional investors are also able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform. For further information, please go to www.proxymity.io.

The completion and return of a proxy form will not prevent you from attending the Annual General Meeting and voting in person if you wish to do so.
