(Company or Webjet ABN 68 002 013 612) will

be held virtually on Thursday, 22 October 2020 at 5pm (Melbourne time).

In response to Government restrictions and the potential health risks associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there will not be a physical meeting for the Annual General Meeting where Shareholders can attend.

Webjet Limited

ABN 68 002 013 612

Dear shareholder,

The Board of Directors of Webjet Limited

(Webjet or Company) cordially extends an invitation to you to join your company's Annual General Meeting (AGM) at 5pm (Melbourne time) on Thursday, 22 October 2020.

Because the COVID-19 pandemic and related Government restrictions make it inadvisable for shareholders to physically attend this year's AGM, we will hold the meeting through an online platform https://web.lumiagm.com. The platform will enable shareholders to view the meeting, ask questions in relation to the business of the meeting and vote in real time. We encourage you to participate. While you will be able to vote online during the AGM, you are encouraged to lodge a proxy ahead of the meeting.

FY20 was an incredibly challenging year for Webjet. After a record first half result, since March 2020 the pandemic has caused significant disruption to the travel industry. Total Transaction Value (TTV) for the full year was down 21% on the prior year at $3.0 billion, revenue was down 27% to $266.1 million and EBITDA for underlying operations was down 80% to $26.4 million. To give a sense of the magnitude of the impact COVID-19 has had on our business, for the 12 months to December 2019, Webjet had reported underlying EBITDA of $155.5 million.

When the scale of the impact of COVID-19 became clear, your board and management team acted quickly to rethink strategy, restructure and recapitalise. Extensive steps have been taken to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and to prepare for the recovery of global travel. These include: reducing costs by approximately 50%; strengthening the balance sheet by more than $500 million through an equity raising during FY20 and a note offering post balance date; and an extensive strategic and operational reset of the business to maximise performance and market share as markets reopen. We believe there will be considerable opportunity when the pandemic subsides, and Webjet is entering FY21 in a strong capital position.

This year's resolutions include ratification of the shares issued under the April 2020 equity raising, the adoption of proposed long-term equity incentive arrangements for key executives and the re-election of two Non-Executive Directors.

Your Board and executive team have worked hard to recover the Company's position in difficult circumstances. Recapitalising the business and recalibrating its strategy are important steps; equally, it is vital that we keep our leadership team intact so Webjet can maximise its opportunity when the upturn eventuates. While the travel industry is currently in crisis, there

is still a global war for talent, and our talented employees are always sought after. We seek your support for the proposed new long term equity incentive plans as a means of retaining them.

Don Clarke and Brad Holman will seek reelection as Directors at the AGM. Their backgrounds are summarized in the Explanatory Statement. The Board unanimously endorses and supports their re-election, noting the importance of continuity of governance oversight and leadership in turbulent times.

Enclosed with this letter are both the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement, which contain more detailed information in respect of the business of the AGM and voting procedures. Shareholders who do not intend to attend the Meeting can lodge their proxy vote by mail, facsimile or online as explained on page 4 of the Notice of Meeting. Your proxy vote must be received by no later than 5pm (Melbourne time) on 20 October 2020 to be valid.

If it is necessary for Webjet to give further updates on the arrangements for the AGM, we will inform you through our investor website (www.webjetlimited.com) and the ASX Market Announcements Platform. Please note we will not be sending shareholders a hard copy of the Notice of Meeting by post ahead of the AGM. This approach is consistent with the relief provided by the Government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We look forward to engaging with shareholders at the AGM and I hope you will participate in the meeting via the online platform.

Yours sincerely,

Roger Sharp

Chairman Webjet Limited

This decision is also supported by the permissibility of electronic voting at meetings of shareholders provided under the COVID-19 Response (Requirements for Entities - Modifications and Exemptions) Act 2020.

Technical difficulties

Technical difficulties may arise during the course of the Meeting. The chairperson has discretion as to whether and how the Meeting should proceed in the event that a technical difficulty arises. In exercising this discretion, the chairperson will have regard to the number of Shareholders impacted and the extent to which participation in the business of the Meeting is affected.

Where the chairperson considers it appropriate, the chairperson may continue to hold the Meeting and transact business, including conducting a poll and voting in accordance with valid proxy instructions. For this reason, Shareholders are encouraged to lodge a proxy in accordance with the instructions below even if they plan to attend online.

Proxy forms and voting

  • A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting has the right to appoint a proxy.
  • A proxy does not need to be a Shareholder of the Company.
  • A Shareholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint up to two proxies and, in the case of such an appointment, may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise.
  • If a Shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes which each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.
  • Proxies may be appointed using the proxy form (Proxy Form). Detailed instructions for appointing a proxy are provided on the back of the Proxy Form.
  • Proxy appointments (and any necessary supporting document) must be received by the Company no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the Meeting. Proxies received after this deadline will not be effective for the scheduled meeting.

If the proxy's appointment directs the proxy how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote on that item only in accordance with the direction. If the proxy's appointment does not direct the proxy how to vote on an item of business or any other resolution before the Meeting, the proxy may vote as he or she thinks fit on that item or resolution.
