Letter from the Chairman

19 June 2024

Dear Shareholder,

Notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting of B&M European Value Retail S.A. (the "Company") to be held at 12:30 pm (CET) on Tuesday 23 July 2024.

On behalf of the Board, I am writing to inform you that an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company will be held at 12:30 pm (CET) on Tuesday 23 July 2024 at the SOFITEL Europe, 6, rue du Fort Niedergrünewald, L-2226 Luxembourg ("EGM" or "Meeting").

Amendments to the Articles of Association of the Company (the "Articles")

Under Luxembourg law on commercial companies, and as stated in article 24.6.3 of the Articles amendments to the Articles are to be adopted by the general meeting of the shareholders at the conditions set out below.

The Board is proposing amendments to update the Articles by removing provisions which are no more accurate, effective or which are not relevant to the Company. At this occasion, some tidy up is also suggested.

For each of the resolutions proposed, an explanatory note is set out on pages 4 and 5 of this document.

Quorum and voting at the EGM

In accordance with Luxembourg law, the quorum for the EGM is at least half of the issued share capital present or represented and any resolution amending the Articles must be passed by at least two-thirds of the votes cast. If this quorum is not met, a second meeting may be convened to deliberate upon the same agenda and such second meeting may validly deliberate regardless of the proportion of the issued share capital represented, however the same two-thirds majority requirement shall still apply.

The results of the votes on the resolutions at the EGM will be announced via the Regulatory News Service and published on the Company's website at www.bandmretail.com as soon as possible following the EGM.

The Board appreciates that, as the location of the EGM is in Luxembourg, as required by our constitution, many shareholders will be unable to attend in person. However, your vote is important and I would encourage you, irrespective of the number of ordinary shares you hold, to vote either

  1. by completing and returning the enclosed blue Form of Proxy if you are holding your ordinary shares in an account with LuxCSD; or
  2. by giving your voting instructions to your broker or nominee account holder to cast your votes on your behalf by the voting deadline confirmed to you by them, if you are a holder of CREST Depository Interests or an indirect holder of beneficial interests in shares which are held in a broker, nominee or other custodian account.

If you are holding your shares in an account with LuxCSD and want to participate in the EGM, whether by proxy or in person, you are required to complete and return the blue form of declaration of participation enclosed with this notice. The form of Declaration of Participation must be received by the Company by the record date which, for this EGM is Friday 9 July 2024 at 12:00 midnight (CET) in accordance with the procedures set out below. Please note the Declaration of Participation is not a substitution for the Form of Proxy, and the procedure for lodging a Form of Proxy as set out in the form and in the notes to the notice of the Meeting below will need to be followed.

Indirect Holders of shares are not required to complete and return a Declaration of Participation.

Recommendation

Your Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of all the resolutions set out in the notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting, which it considers to be in the best corporate interest of the Company and in the best interests of shareholders. The Directors intend to vote in favour of all resolutions in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings totalling 85,289 ordinary shares and representing approximately 0.008% of the present issued ordinary share capital of the Company.

Yours faithfully,

Peter Bamford

Chairman

B&M European Value Retail S.A. Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting 2024

3

EXPLANATION OF BUSINESS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE 2024 EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

The full text of the amended Articles is available for inspection as described in note 3 under "Notes to the Notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM)" section on page 6 below.

Extraordinary Resolutions 1 and 2: Dis-application of pre-emption rights

The Articles of Association of the Company provide the Directors with authority, within the framework of the Company's authorised share capital, to dis-applypre-emption rights

  1. for the issue for cash of shares representing up to a maximum of 5% (five per cent) of the issued share capital of the Company in any one (1) year;
  2. for the issue for cash of shares representing up to an additional 5% (five per cent) of the issued share capital of the Company in any one (1) year provided this is used only for financing (or refinancing within six months thereafter) an acquisition or other capital investment as contemplated by the Statement of Principles on Dis-applyingPre-emption Rights of the Pre-Emption Group ("Statement of Principles");
  3. to deal with fractional entitlements on otherwise pre-emptive issues of shares, and
  4. in connection with employee share options.

In relation to the allotment of shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis, Directors intend to adhere, to the extent practical for a Luxembourg company, to the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group of the Financial Reporting Council (the "Statement of Principles"), and each year at the Annual General Meeting, a resolution is submitted to shareholders of the Company for them to acknowledge this intention.

In the Statement of Principles most recently published (November 2022), the 5% (five per cent) threshold referred to under (i) and (ii) above was raised up to 10% (ten per cent) and the special authority to dis-applypre-emption rights in relation to the issue for cash of shares for investments purposes can be used within 12 months of the acquisition or investment having taken place. Resolutions 1 and 2 propose to reflect those changes in the relevant provisions of article 5.2 of the Articles of Association of the Company to ensure that the Directors have flexibility in managing the Company's capital in the best interests of both the Company and shareholders.

The maximum amount of shares which could be allotted under both resolution 1 and resolution 2 together in aggregate would be equal to 20% (twenty per cent) of the Company's total issued share capital. In accordance with the terms of article 5.2 of the Articles, the limits under resolutions 1 and 2 are to be calculated by reference to the nominal issued share capital of the Company at the time of the first issue of shares in the relevant year.

As at 18 June 2024, being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this notice, an issue of shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of GBP £20,055,817.92 (corresponding to 200,558,179 ordinary shares of 10 pence each) would have represented 20% (twenty per cent) of the Company's issued share capital.

Presently, the Board of Directors issues shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis in relation to share options exercises by employees and directors of the Group under the Company's share option schemes.

In accordance with the guidance of the Pre-Emption Group, two separate resolutions are proposed to shareholders: resolution 1 proposing to grant general authority to the Board and resolution 2 which relates to an additional 10% (ten per cent) tranche as limit for the issue for cash of shares in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment.

A special report was issued by the Board last year when shareholders were convened to deliberate upon the renewal of the authorisation for the Board to increase the issued share capital within the limits of the authorised share capital. This report sets out the terms and conditions under which the Board can limit or cancel pre-emption rights. A similar report is attached under APPENDIX to this notice.

Extraordinary Resolutions 3 and 4

On 3 December 2020, the shareholders of the Company approved the compulsory conversion of all the shares of the Company, previously in registered form, into dematerialised form. The dematerialisation has been carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Luxembourg Law of 6 April 2013 on the dematerialisation of securities and the Articles have been amended accordingly.

In accordance with Luxembourg law on the dematerialisation of securities, that compulsory dematerialisation could not be effective earlier than within three (3) months as from shareholders' approval.

For efficiency, alongside with the compulsory dematerialisation of the shares, shareholders approved and were given the possibility to convert their registered shares into dematerialised form on a voluntary basis (the "voluntary dematerialisation") before that three (3) month deadline.

The deadline for the compulsory dematerialisation of the shares was on 8 March 2023 and all the shares of the Company are now in dematerialised form.

  • B&M European Value Retail S.A. Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting 2024

Consequently, it is proposed to update the Articles by removing (i) all provisions relating to the voluntary conversion of registered shares into dematerialised shares and (ii) all references to registered shares, share register or register of shareholders where they are no more relevant or became obsolete.

Extraordinary Resolution 5

This resolution serves for a minor drafting tidy-up in the Articles: the provisions of article 9.2 relate to entitlement to fractions of shares as a result of consolidation, division or sub-division of shares and it is proposed to move them as they are under article 5.1 which states as a principle that shares cannot be divided into fractions.

After having set that principle, it would be relevant to mention how the Board shall deal with fractional entitlements if any.

Extraordinary Resolution 6

Following the sale in December 2023 by SSA Investments S.à r.l. ("SSA") of 27,821,400 shares in the Company, the provisions relating to SSA's rights to put forward candidates to the Board of directors of the Company are no more enforceable. Resolution 6 proposes to remove those provisions from the Articles (article 10.1 and the related definitions and article 10.4).

Extraordinary Resolution 7

It is proposed to increase the maximum amount of Director fees payable per annum from GBP £1,000,000 to GBP £1,500,000 to provide sufficient headroom in the future.

Extraordinary Resolution 8

Under Luxembourg law, next to the board of directors in charge of the management, a second corporate body has oversight of the company incorporated as a société anonyme and audit its annual accounts: the statutory auditor, appointed by the general meeting of the shareholders.

However, an independent auditor (réviseurs d'entreprises agréé) ought to be appointed instead when as at the end of any financial year and for two consecutive financial years the company crosses two of the three following thresholds: a total balance sheet of 4.4 million; 50 full time employees in average; a net turnover of 8.8 million.

Since its incorporation, the Company meet all the requirements for an independent auditor to be appointed and it is therefore proposed to remove all references to the statutory auditor(s) under the Articles.

A draft bill of law is currently being discussed in Luxembourg and the requirement for a statutory auditor under Luxembourg law might be abolished.

Resolution 8 is proposed to reflect the current regime of the Company (audited by independent auditors since its incorporation) and remove the provisions reproducing the law where unnecessary to avoid the need for further amendments in case of changes in the regulation.

Extraordinary Resolution 9

In principle, according to Luxembourg law on commercial companies, general meetings of public limited liabilities companies (société anonyme) are convened by way of publications in Newspapers and the Luxembourg Gazette (Recueil Electronique des Sociétés et Associations, RESA).

When all the shares representing the entire issued share capital of a company are in registered form, the above rules may be excepted, and shareholders convened by registered letters only. Before the dematerialisation of the shares, B&M European Value Retail S.A. used to fall within that exception but notices of general meetings were both published and sent to registered shareholders, directors and the independent auditor.

In addition, the Law of 24 May 2011 on certain rights of shareholders at general meetings of listed companies provides that any notice convening a general meeting shall be released on the company's corporate website and sent to registered shareholders, Directors and Auditors by simple post mail (as opposed to registered post mail). That same law allows companies to agree with Directors and Auditors the use of other means of communication of notices convening general meetings.

All the shares of the Company being now in dematerialised form, there is no legal requirement to convene shareholders by letters and article 24.3.3 happens to be more constraining than the law itself.

Besides, in the context of dematerialised shares, it is more efficient to publish notices as share transfers are realised by accounting entries and the Company might not be aware in due time of share transfers already effected.

By removing article 24.3.3 from the Articles and the need to send notices convening general meetings by letter, the Board is effectively proposing to reflect the law applicable under the Articles and in accordance with that same law, will permit to agree and use an alternative method for convening Directors and Auditors to general meetings of the Company.

Extraordinary Resolution 10

Some of the resolutions proposed to shareholders will, if approved, require the articles to be renumbered and resolution 10 is proposed in that purpose.

    The Company holds no treasury shares, but voting rights attached to 11,459 (eleven thousand four hundred and fifty-nine) shares in aggregate are being suspended and the total number of voting rights in the Company as at 18 June 2024 is therefore 1,002,779,437 (one billion two million seven hundred and seventy-nine thousand four hundred and thirty-seven).

7. Appointment of proxies by holders of dematerialised shares (in an account with LuxCSD)

  1. This facility is only open to shareholders holding their dematerialised shares in an account with the Company's appointed settlement organisation for dematerialised shares, LuxCSD.
    It does not apply to holders of CREST Depository Interests or indirect holders of beneficial interests whose shares are held in broker, nominee or other custodian accounts.
  2. Any shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the EGM and to which paragraph 7.1 applies may appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
  3. Any person to whom this notice is sent who is a person nominated to enjoy information rights (a "Nominated Person") may, under an agreement between them and the shareholder by whom they were nominated, have a right to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy for the EGM. If a Nominated Person has no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it, they may, under any such agreement, have a right to give instructions to the shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights.
  4. If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment in respect of the same share, the appointment received last before the deadline for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.
  5. The appointment of a proxy will not preclude a shareholder from attending the EGM and voting in person if they wish to do so. Any shareholder or the proxy holder of a shareholder attending the Meeting has the right to ask questions relating to the business being dealt with at the Meeting.
  6. The blue Form of Proxy should be completed in accordance with the instructions detailed in it.
  7. To be valid, the Form of Proxy must be completed and returned to arrive by no later than 12:30 pm (CET) on Friday 19 July 2024 at: Banque Internationale à Luxembourg S.A.
    Agency Services Team 69, Route d'Esch L-2953 Luxembourg Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg

Shareholders should bear in mind that the receipt address is in Luxembourg and should therefore allow extra time for posting to ensure that the above deadline is met.

You may also send a pdf copy of the Form of Proxy to Hayet.Elmecheri@bmstores.eu in the first instance if you wish, but the original proxy form must still be sent to Banque Internationale à Luxembourg S.A.'s address (as set out above) and that original must still be received at that address by no later than 12:30 pm (CET) on Friday 19 July 2024.
