Notice of

Annual General Meeting

2021

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 3:00pm (Melbourne time) on Tuesday,

31 August 2021. Registration will open from 2:30pm (Melbourne Time).

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant possibility of Government restrictions, this year your Company will hold a hybrid AGM - both in-person at Webjet's Corporate Office, as well as virtually through an online platform (at: https://web.lumiagm.com) for those who prefer to attend remotely, or are not able to attend in-person. The online platform will enable Shareholders to view the meeting, ask questions in relation to the business of the meeting and vote in real time.

Please note that COVID-19 related precautionary measures may be imposed on attendance if necessary, including limiting or refusing entry to the AGM. 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 via the ASX Market Announcements Platform. While you will be able to vote online during the AGM, you are encouraged to lodge a vote by proxy ahead of the meeting.

The carnage wreaked by COVID-19 has been well-documented, and your Company's financial performance during FY21 reflected this state of affairs. As reported in this year's annual report, for the 9 months to the new 31 March year end, the Total Transaction Value was $453 million, Revenue was $38.5 million and underlying operations reported an EBITDA(1) loss of $56.3 million; these are not numbers that we enjoy reporting to our shareholders. Given the new financial year end, it is not useful to provide a comparative discussion between the FY20 and FY21 reporting periods.

Throughout the pandemic, Webjet has continued to operate, looking after our customers and our people as best as we can, sometimes in extremely difficult conditions. We have chosen a path that sees us streamlining and improving operations and targeting improved financial metrics and market share as conditions normalise. We have been pleased with the strong recovery in our Australian and New Zealand B2C businesses driven by domestic borders remaining open, and are seeing recovery signals in some of our WebBeds B2B markets, as vaccinations progress and borders open.

While we wait for global markets to fully reopen, we continue to focus on the matters we can control to ensure we can lead the way when the recovery path becomes clearer. We have embraced the opportunity to reinvent our businesses across the board and since COVID-19 struck, have significantly reduced cash burn, mitigated B2B debtor risk, extended term debt maturity, and strengthened our balance sheet to

be able to capture the significant opportunities we believe will emerge when travel markets recover.

This year's resolutions include the adoption of the remuneration report, the re-election of two Non- Executive Directors, and the ratification of the Company's AUD250 million convertible note issue.

Ms. Denise McComish and I will seek re-election as Directors. Our respective backgrounds are summarised in the Explanatory Statement. The Board unanimously endorses and supports both re-elections, noting the importance of continuity of governance oversight and leadership in turbulent times.

At last years' AGM, shareholders approved an equity incentive plan for senior executives and key personnel of the Company. Our road to recovery depends on retaining our experienced and talented leadership team at a time when the pandemic has not only struck the travel industry, but has also accelerated the demand for experienced technology professionals.

1. EBITDA excludes Share Based Payment Expense.

2 Webjet Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting 2021

The war for tech talent is real and poses a threat to our recovery if we lose our tight-knit and highly effective management team. For that reason, your Board considers the incentive plan as a vital retention tool for the senior executives and key personnel.

While the Managing Director's incentive plan package was approved by shareholders, we recognise that the terms of the issue were not supported by all shareholders. Having reflected carefully, we reaffirm our statement made at the time that these are highly uncertain times and that the relationship between the strike price of a long- dated option and its exercise price, in pandemic conditions, is not necessarily either linear or predictable. We ask that Shareholders consider this when voting on this year's remuneration report.

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 6 of the Notice of Meeting. Your proxy vote must be received by no later than 3:00pm (Melbourne time) on 29 August 2021 to be valid.

Please note we will be sending Shareholders who have opted to receive electronic communications, an electronic copy of this notice of meeting (and accompanying documents). For all other Shareholders, we will send a hard copy of the Notice of Meeting (and accompanying documents) by post ahead of the AGM.

We look forward to engaging with Shareholders at the AGM, and I hope you will participate in the meeting in-person, via the online platform, or via the lodgment of your proxy form.

Yours sincerely,

Roger Sharp

Chair, Webjet Limited
