NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

Notice is hereby given that a General Meeting (Meeting) of Beacon Rise Holdings PLC (Company) will be held at Meeting Room 1, 8 Hermitage St, London, W2 1BE, on 28^th February 2024 at 2:30pm.

BACKGROUND

The board of directors of the Company (the Board) notes that, the Company's entire issued share capital was admitted to the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority (the FCA) and was admitted to trading by way of Standard Listing on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 25 March 2022 (Admission), following the publication of a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation Rules of the FCA made under section 73A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA) and approved by the FCA under section 87A of FSMA (the Prospectus).  The Prospectus stated that, within the first 24 months following Admission, the Company would target acquisitions which would be in the form of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, scheme of arrangement, reorganisation or similar business combination of an interest in an operating company or business or asset (Acquisition).

The Board further notes that, pursuant to paragraph 4 of Part I of the Prospectus (The Company's Strategy - Capital and returns management), if an Acquisition had not been announced within 24 months of Admission, the directors of the Company would recommend to the shareholders of the Company either, to continue to pursue an Acquisition for a further 12 months from such date or, that the Company be wound up (in order to return capital to shareholders of the Company, to the extent assets are available). The Board noted that, their recommendation must be subject to a vote of the shareholders of the Company, from which the directors holding ordinary shares in the capital of the Company must abstain.

Given no suitable target has been found in the period since Admission, the Board is of the view that the Company should continue to pursue an Acquisition for a further 12 months.

At the Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote on the resolution below to approve the Company's continued pursuit of an Acquisition for a further 12 months from the date of 25 March 2024. This resolution will be proposed as an ordinary resolution.

ORDINARY RESOLUTION

THAT, the Company shall continue to pursue a suitable acquisition target, whether in the form of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, scheme of arrangement, reorganisation or similar business combination of an interest in an operating company or business or asset, for a further 12 months, being the period from 25 March 2024 to 24 March 2025.

By order of the Board
