Letter from the Chair

16 February 2023

Dear Shareholder

It is my pleasure to invite you to the Annual General Meeting of Malin Corporation plc which will be held in the Conrad Hotel, Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin 2, D02 V562, Ireland at 10.15 a.m. on Friday, 10 March 2023 (or, if later, as soon as practicable after the Extraordinary General Meeting convened for 10.00 a.m. on the same date and at the same place shall have been concluded or adjourned).

I set out below the background to the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM, each of which the Board of Directors (the "Board" or the "Directors") considers to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

The Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2022 are available to view and download from the Company's website, www. malinplc.com, under the "Reports & Presentations" section of the "Investors" tab. You may at any time opt to receive a paper copy of the Annual Report by contacting +353 1 901 5700 or by emailing cosec@malinplc.com.

To ensure all shareholders are fully represented by voting at the meeting, I would urge you, to submit your proxy form as soon as possible but, in any event, so as to reach Computershare Investor Services (Ireland) Limited by 10.15 a.m. on Wednesday, 8 March 2023. The submission of a proxy form will not preclude a registered shareholder from attending the meeting and voting in person should they wish to do so.

The process for appointing a proxy and/or voting in connection with the resolutions to be proposed at the meeting depends on the manner in which you hold your shares. Further details are set out in the notes to the Notice of AGM on pages 10 to 11. For those shareholders who intend to appoint a proxy other than the chair of the AGM, we would ask that, as a contingency measure, you would additionally appoint the chair of the AGM as an alternative in the event that the initially intended proxy is unable to attend for any reason (and does not appoint a substitute). This will facilitate your vote being included in a wider range of contingent scenarios.

Please note that persons holding their interests in the Company through the Euroclear Bank or CREST (CDI) systems must comply with any earlier or other voting submission deadline imposed by those systems. Further information in this respect is provided in the notes to the Notice of AGM and on the Company's website www.malinplc.com.

The Company has made a teleconference facility available to shareholders who do not physically attend the meeting, to listen to the business of the AGM. An audio recording of the meeting will be made available through the Company's website (www.malinplc.com) for one month following the date of the AGM.
