The Notice of Meeting, which follows this letter, sets out the business to be considered at the meeting. Explanatory notes on each resolution to be considered at the AGM are set out on pages 5 to 8 of this document. The resolutions are being proposed as ordinary resolutions and will be passed if more than 50% of the votes cast are in favour, with exception of Resolutions 16 to 19 which will be proposed as special resolutions and will be passed if at least 75% of the votes cast are in favour.

In line with the UK Corporate Governance Code and the Company's Articles of Association, Annette Borén and Katherine Innes Ker, who were appointed following the 2023 AGM, will be standing for election (Resolutions 10 and 11). All other Directors will stand for re-election at the AGM (Resolutions 4 to 9). Full biographies of each Director standing for election and re-election can be found on pages 5 to 6 of the Notice of Meeting. The Board considers each Director to be fully effective and committed to their roles and recommends all the Directors for election.

The Group's strong financial results led the Board to recommend a final dividend of 4.72 pence per share relating to the 12 months ended 31 December 2023. Further details can be found on page 5 of the Notice of Meeting.

We look forward to welcoming as many shareholders as possible in person to the AGM, at which shareholders will have the opportunity to speak to and vote on the resolutions being put to the AGM. Voting at the AGM will be conducted by way of a poll.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2024

Explanation of the resolutions

Resolution 1 - Report and accounts

The Board presents the Annual Report and audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Resolution 2 - Directors' Remuneration Report

The Directors' Remuneration Report can be found on pages 74 to 87 of the Company's Annual Report and audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

The vote on the Directors' Remuneration Report is advisory in nature and therefore not binding on the Company.

Resolution 3 - Final dividend

The Board proposes a final dividend of 4.72 pence per share in respect of the year ended 31 December 2023. If approved, the recommended final dividend will be paid on 29 May 2024 to all Ordinary Shareholders who are on the register of members on 26 April 2024. The shares will be marked ex-dividend on 25 April 2024.

Resolutions 4-11 - Election of directors

In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association and the UK Corporate Governance Code 2018, all Directors, except for both Annette Borén and Katherine Innes Ker, will retire and stand for re-election at the AGM. Resolutions 4 - 9 (inclusive) propose their re-election by the Company's shareholders. Resolutions 10 and 11 propose the election of both Annette Borén and Katherine Innes Ker, following their appointments to the Board since the conclusion of the 2023 AGM.

The Nomination Committee has reviewed the independence of Nicola Bruce, Katherine Innes Ker and Martin Payne and determined that they are all independent in character and judgement and there are no relationships or circumstances which are likely to affect their judgement.

Bob Ellis has, in the past, held and continues to hold various positions with portfolio companies owned by affiliates of The Bregal Fund III L.P. acting by its general partner Bregal General Partner III Jersey LP acting by its general partner Bregal Capital General Partner Jersey Limited ("Bregal"), the Company's major shareholder, and was initially appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Group in 2009. By virtue of holding these positions with portfolio companies owned by affiliates of Bregal and taking into account Mr. Ellis's tenure as a Non-Executive Director, the Board does not consider that the Chair should be viewed as being independent on appointment by reference to the independence criteria set out in the Corporate Governance Code. However, in view of the Chair's involvement with the Group over the last fourteen years, and as Chair since 2013, the Board considers that he has made a major contribution to the Group's growth and success and is unanimously of the opinion that his continued involvement as Chair will help to ensure the ongoing success of the Company.

Edmund Lazarus and Nicholas Armstrong were appointed under the terms of the Relationship agreement with The Bregal Fund III LP and are therefore considered not independent.

The Nomination Committee has also reviewed and concluded that each Non-Executive Director possesses the necessary mix of skills and experience to continue to contribute effectively to the Company's long-term sustainable success. Further, notwithstanding their other appointments, the Board is satisfied that each Non-Executive Director is able to commit sufficient and appropriate time to their Board responsibilities.

All Directors are recommended by the Board for election and re- election, as set out in Resolutions 4 to 11.

As at 8 March 2024, Bregal held 49.6% of the total voting rights of the Company. Consequently, under the UK Listing Rules, Bregal is classed as a "controlling shareholder" of the Company (i.e. a shareholder that controls more than 30% of the votes at a General Meeting of the Company). The Company's independent Non-Executive Directors seeking election at the AGM are therefore subject to rule 9.2.2E of the UK Listing Rules requiring that such election must be approved by a majority vote of both the independent shareholders (i.e. shareholders of the Company, other than Bregal, who are entitled to vote on the election of Directors), and the shareholders as a whole.

6 Stelrad Group plc Notice of Annual General Meeting 2024

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2024

Explanation of the resolutions continued

Resolution 14 - Political donations and political expenditure

Part 14 of the Companies Act 2006 requires companies to obtain shareholders' authority for donations to registered political parties in the UK under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 totalling more than £5,000 in any twelve-month period. The definition of donation in this context is very wide and extends to bodies such as those concerned with policy review, law reform and the representation of the business community.

It is the policy of the Company not to make, and the Company does not make, donations to political organisations or incur political expenditure in the ordinary sense and has no intention of using the authority for this purpose. However, this resolution is proposed for approval as a precaution to avoid inadvertent breach of the legislation as a result of the wide meanings given to the terms "political donations" and "political expenditure".

This resolution, if passed, will authorise the Directors until the next AGM or 22 August 2025, whichever is the earlier, to make donations and incur expenditure which might otherwise be caught by the terms of the Companies Act 2006, up to an aggregate amount of £100,000 for the Company and for subsidiary companies.

Resolution 15 - Directors' authority to allot shares

Under the Companies Act 2006, the directors of a Company may only allot new shares (or grant rights over shares) if authorised to do so by the shareholders in a general meeting. The authority in paragraph 15(a) of the resolution will allow the Directors to allot new shares and grant rights to subscribe for or convert other securities into shares up to approximately one-third (33.3%) of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company (exclusive of treasury shares) which as at 8 March 2024, being the latest practicable date prior to publication of the Notice of Meeting, is equivalent to a nominal value of £42,450.85.

The authority in paragraph 15(b) will allow the Directors to allot new shares and grant rights to subscribe for or convert other securities into shares only in connection with a rights issue up to a further nominal value of £42,450.85, which is equivalent to approximately one-third (33.3%) of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company (exclusive of treasury shares) as at 8 March 2024.

As at 8 March 2024, being the latest practicable date prior to publication of the Notice of Meeting, the Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006.

In total, the resolution will allow the Directors to allot a maximum aggregate of two-thirds of the issued share capital of the Company and is considered in line with the Investment Association's Share Capital Management Guidelines issued in July 2016.

The Directors have no present intention to undertake a rights issue or to allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares pursuant to this authority, other than in connection with employee share and incentive plans. However, the Directors consider it desirable to have the flexibility to respond to market developments and to enable allotments to take place in appropriate circumstances. If the resolution is passed the authority will expire on the earlier of the next AGM or 22 August 2025.

Resolutions 16 and 17 - Authority for disapplication of pre-emption rights

Resolutions 16 and 17 deal with the granting of power to Directors to allot securities whilst dis-applyingpre-emption rights (the rights for shareholders to have first refusal on the issue of new shares by a company) and seeks the additional authority to disapply pre-emption rights for purposes of acquisitions or capital investments.

Resolution 16 grants the Directors' power to allot equity securities and sell treasury shares in exchange for cash without first offering them to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings. Equity securities include Ordinary Shares in the Company. Resolution 16 allows the Directors to issue equity securities and to sell treasury shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis: (i) to Ordinary Shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings and to holders of other equity securities as required by the rights of those securities, or as the Directors consider necessary, and to deal with, among other things, treasury shares, fractional entitlements and legal and practical problems in any territory, for example, in the case of a rights issue or other similar share issue; and (ii) otherwise, up to an aggregate nominal amount of £6,367.627 (representing 6,367,627 Ordinary Shares). This number represents approximately 5% of the issued share capital as at 8 March 2024, the latest practicable date prior to publication of the Notice.

On 12 March 2015, the Pre-Emption Group, an association of companies and investors that produces best practice guidance on disapplying pre-emption rights in the UK market, issued a revised Statement of Principles. This stated that, in addition to the previous standard annual disapplication of pre-emption rights up to a maximum equal to 5% of issued ordinary share capital, the Pre-Emption Group is now supportive of extending the general disapplication authority for certain purposes.

On 5 May 2016, The Pre-Emption Group recommended a template resolution for disapplying pre-emption rights in respect of the additional 5% which may be used when the Board considers the use to be for an acquisition or specified capital investment in accordance with the 2015 Statement of Principles.

Resolution 17 seeks this separate authority to permit the directors to allot shares for cash or dispose of treasury shares up to a maximum nominal value of £6,367.627, otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders for the purposes only of financing or refinancing a transaction as set out in the Pre-emption Principles described above, representing approximately a further 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 8 March 2024. Where the authority granted under resolution 17 is used, the Company will disclose this in the announcement regarding the issue, the circumstances that have led to its use and the consultation process undertaken.

In accordance with the section of the Statement of Principles regarding cumulative usage of authorities within a rolling three- year period, the Directors also confirm their intention that (except in relation to an issue pursuant to resolution 16 in respect of the additional 5% referred to above) no more than 7.5% of the issued ordinary share capital will be issued for cash on a non- pre-emptive basis during any rolling three-year period other than (i) with prior consultation with shareholders; or (ii) in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment which is announced contemporaneously with the allotment or which has taken place in the preceding six-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the allotment.

The Directors have no present intention of exercising these powers but believe that this resolution will assist them to respond to market developments and to take advantage of business opportunities as they arise.

Resolution 18 - Share buyback

Authority is sought in resolution 18 to purchase the Company's own Ordinary Shares, up to a maximum of 12,735,255 Ordinary Shares, until the next AGM or 22 August 2025, whichever is the earlier. This represents approximately 10% of the Ordinary Shares in issue (excluding shares held in treasury) as at 8 March 2024, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of the Notice. The Company's exercise of this authority is subject to the stated upper and lower limits on the price payable, the upper limit being the price stipulated in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 as referred to in Article 5(6) of the UK Market Abuse Regulation (MAR), and the UK Listing Rules.

Pursuant to the Companies Act 2006, the Company can hold any shares which are repurchased as treasury shares and either re-sell them for cash, cancel them, either immediately or at a point in the future, or use them for the purposes of its employee share schemes. Holding the repurchased shares as treasury shares will give the Company the ability to re-sell or transfer them in the future and will provide the Company with additional flexibility in the management of its capital base. No dividends will be paid on, and no voting rights will be exercised in respect of, treasury shares. Shares held as treasury shares will not automatically be cancelled and will not be considered in future calculations of earnings per share (unless they are subsequently re-sold or transferred out of treasury).

The Directors consider it desirable and in the Company's interests for shareholders to grant this authority. The Company will not, save in accordance with a predetermined, irrevocable and non-discretionary programme, repurchase shares in the period immediately preceding the preliminary announcement of its annual or half-year results as dictated by the UK Listing Rules or MAR or, if shorter, between the end of the financial period concerned and the time of a relevant announcement or, except in accordance with the UK Listing Rules and the MAR, at any other time when the Directors would be prohibited from dealing in shares.

As at 8 March 2024, being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice, there were no outstanding warrants or options to subscribe for Ordinary Shares in the Company. As at 8 March 2024, the Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006.

Resolution 19 - Notice of general meetings

Under the provisions in the Companies Act 2006, listed companies must call general meetings (other than an annual general meeting) on at least 21 clear days' notice unless the Company:

1. has obtained shareholder approval for the holding of general meetings on 14 clear days' notice by passing an appropriate resolution at its most recent annual general meeting; and
2. offers the facility for shareholders to vote by electronic means accessible to all shareholders.

To enable the Company to utilise the shorter notice period of 14 days for calling such general meetings, shareholders are asked to approve this resolution. The shorter notice period would not be used as a matter of routine for such meetings, but only where the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be to the advantage of shareholders as a whole. If granted, this authority will be effective until the Company's next annual general meeting.

Appointment of Proxies

1. Members entitled to vote at the meeting (in accordance with note 2 above) are entitled to appoint a proxy to vote in their place. If you wish to appoint a proxy, please use the Form of Proxy or follow the instructions at note 7 below if you wish to appoint a proxy through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service. In the case of joint members, only one needs to sign the Form of Proxy. The vote of the senior joint member will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint members. For this purpose, seniority will be determined by the order in which the names of the members appear in the register of members in respect of the joint shareholding. The completion and return of the Form of Proxy will not stop you attending and voting in person at the meeting should you wish to do so. A proxy need not be a member of the Company.
   You may appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by you. If you choose to appoint multiple proxies use a separate copy of this form (which you may photocopy) for each proxy and indicate after the proxy's name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act (which, in aggregate, should not exceed the number of Ordinary Shares held by you). Please also indicate if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms must be signed and returned in the same envelope. Additional forms may be obtained by contacting the Company's registrars, Computershare Investor Services PLC helpline on 0370 703 6254. Shareholders can access their information at www.investorcentre.co.uk.
2. You can appoint the Chair of the meeting, or any other person. If you wish to appoint a proxy, insert the full name of your appointee into the box provided.
3. You can instruct your proxy how to vote on each resolution by marking the resolutions For and Against using the voting methods stated in notes 6 and 7. If you wish to abstain from voting on any resolution, please mark these resolutions withheld. It should be noted that a vote withheld is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "For" and "Against" a resolution. If you do not indicate how your proxy should vote, he/she can exercise his/her discretion as to whether, and if so how, he/she votes on each resolution, as he/she will do in respect of any other business (including amendments to resolutions) which may properly be conducted at the meeting.
   A company incorporated in England and Wales or Northern Ireland should execute the Form of Proxy under its common seal or otherwise in accordance with section 44 of the Companies Act 2006 or by signature on its behalf by a duly authorised officer or attorney whose power of attorney or other authority should be enclosed with the Form of Proxy.

Appointment of proxy

6. You can vote either:

• by logging on to www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxyand following the instructions. Shareholders will need their shareholder reference number, PIN and control number to submit a proxy vote this way (which will be provided via email or on their paper form of proxy);
• You may request a hard copy form of proxy directly from the registrars, Computershare Investor Services on Tel: [phone]; or
• in the case of CREST members, by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service in accordance with the procedures set out below.

To be valid, a form of proxy should be lodged with the Company's registrars, Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgewater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY so as to be received not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the meeting or any adjourned meeting or, in the case of a poll taken subsequent to the date of the meeting or adjourned meeting, so as to be received no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for taking the poll.

Appointment of a proxy through CREST

7. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the meeting to be held on the above date and any adjournment(s) thereof by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST Personal Members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate

CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK

& Ireland Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the Company's agent (ID: 3RA50) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified in the Notice of Meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST

Applications Host) from which the Company's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to a proxy's appointee through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.

CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by

Nominated Persons

• Your main point of contact in terms of your investment in the Company remains the Relevant Member (or, perhaps, your custodian or broker) and you should continue to contact them (and not the Company) regarding any changes or queries relating to your personal details and your interest in the Company (including any administrative matters). The only exception to this is where the Company expressly requests a response from you.

Questions at the meeting

13. Under section 319A of the Companies Act 2006, the Company must answer any question you ask relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting unless:

• answering the question would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information;
• the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question; or
• it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered.
