ZIP CO LIMITED ACN 139 546 428 NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

TIME: 10:00am (AEST)

DATE: 31 July 2023

ONLINE: https://meetnow.global/MQQNGXA

Letter f rom t he C hair

Dear Shareholder,

As announced to the ASX on 8 June 2023, Zip Co Limited (Z ip or the C ompany ) has launched a liability management exercise on its A$330,000,000 outstanding Zero Coupon Senior Convertible Notes due 2028 ( Convertible N otes ). The exercise includes an incentivised conversion of Convertible Notes into ordinary shares ( Conversion I nvitation ) and a consent solicitation to amend the terms and conditions of the existing Convertible Notes ( Consent S olicitation ). Specifically:

  1. The Conversion Invitation invited eligible Existing Noteholders to convert their Convertible Notes into Shares at a conversion price of $12.0567 and receive a cash amount that will be up to $17.4m in aggregate. Once completed, the conversion will result in the issuance of approximately 3.3m Conversion Shares in late June 2023 and an aggregated cash payment of $17.4m to converting Existing Noteholders, equating to $39.8m of the outstanding Convertible Notes being converted at an effective rate of approximately 47.5 cents per dollar.

  2. Alongside the Conversion Invitation, Zip undertook a fully underwritten institutional equity placement of 52.5m Shares at an issue price of A$0.47 per Share to raise A$24.7m ( Equity P lacement ). Proceeds of the Equity Placement were used to fund the Cash Incentive Price and other transaction costs.

  3. Concurrent with the Conversion Invitation, Zip initiated a Consent Solicitation process. A consideration ratio of 47.5% was applied to the outstanding Convertible Notes, resulting in the reduction of the notional value of the Convertible Notes to $137.8m, and certain amendments to the terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes were approved by Existing Noteholders.

Once all elements of the liability management exercise are completed, Zip will have reduced the amount owing on its Convertible Notes by $192.2m (from $330m to $137.8m), strengthening the balance sheet and positioning the Company for growth. The overall transaction will be at a nil cash impact to Zip. Zip intends that the amendments to the Convertible Notes will become effective following its EGM on 31 July 2023.

In summary, the business to be dealt with at this Extraordinary General Meeting ( EGM or M eeting ) (detailed on page 5 of this Notice of Meeting), is to enable Shareholders to approve:

  • a) certain amendments to the terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes including the physical settlement of the Convertible Notes for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • b) the prior issues of Shares by the Company �in relation to the Equity Placement, Zip’s December 2022 Equity Placement and the acquisitions of Twisto and Urge) to allow Zip to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future, and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

Consistent with the approach we have taken for the last three years, this EGM will be held virtually (through the Computershare platform).

Shareholders will be able to vote and submit questions in advance and “live” during the Meeting. Zip considers these measures to be appropriate for the EGM and make participation more easily accessible to most Shareholders.

You may participate in the EGM in the following ways:

  • (a) Online : Shareholders can access the Computershare EGM platform from their computer, tablet, or mobile device at https://meetnow.global/MQQNGXA . Online

– BUSINESS O F T HE E GM

ITEM 1 ~~–~~ A PPROVAL O F T HE C ONVERTIBLE N OTE A MENDMENTS

BACKGROUND

On 8 June 2023, the Company launched a proposed liability management exercise on its A$330 million outstanding Zero Coupon Senior Convertible Notes due 2028 (ISIN: XS2330529905 / Common Code: 233052990) ( Convertible N otes ), which on completion, will result a significant improvement on the net debt leverage of ZipCo, with net debt expected to decrease by ~A$192.2 million.[1]

The proposed liability management exercise invited the holders of the Convertible Notes (E xisting Noteholders ) to convert their Convertible Notes into Shares in the Company under the terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes at a conversion price of A$12.0576 per Share and receive a cash amount ( Cash I ncentive P rice ) of up to A$17.4 million in aggregate (together, the C onversion I nvitation ). Existing Noteholders agreed to convert Convertible Notes with an aggregate face value of A$39.8 million into 3,300,823 Shares under the Conversion Invitation.

Following the launch of the liability management exercise, the Company announced that it had successfully completed an equity placement ( Equity P lacement ). Under the terms of the Equity Placement the Company issued approximately 52.5 million Shares at a fixed price of A$0.47, representing a 6.9% discount to the Company’s last close Share price of A$0.505 on 7 June 2023.

Payment of the Cash Incentive Price to the Existing Noteholders is cash neutral to the Company as the funds were raised under the Equity Placement. The issue of the Shares under the Conversion Invitation did not require Shareholder approval as the issue of the Convertible Notes was ratified for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 at the 2021 Annual General Meeting ( Existing S hareholder A pproval ).

Concurrent with the Conversion Invitation, the Company initiated a consent solicitation process (C onsent Solicitation ) to seek the Existing Noteholders’ consent to approve certain amendments to the Convertible Notes as described in the consent solicitation statement dated 8 June 2023 ( Consent S olicitation Statement ) prepared by the Company. A summary of the proposed key amendments to the terms of the Convertible Notes is set out in Annexure A to this Notice of Meeting.

Subject to the consent of Existing Noteholders:

  • a) the face value of the Convertible Notes (which represents the net debt owing by the Company to the Existing Noteholders) will reduce from A$330 million to approximately A$138 million; and

  • b) the conversion price of the amended Convertible Notes will be reduced from A$12.0576 per Share to A$0.5170 per Share.

At the time the Convertible Notes were originally issued, the Convertible Notes were able to be converted into a maximum of approximately 41.6 million Shares ( Approved S hares ).

Following the amendments to the terms of the Convertible Notes, the Convertible Notes may now be converted into up to 293,287,235 Shares (upon a change of control) or 266,624,759 Shares (in ordinary circumstances, subject to customary adjustment for dilutive events in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes).

The Company seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 so that the Company may issue up to 293,287,235 Shares on conversion of the amended Convertible Notes ( Conversion Shares ).

REGULATORY R EQUIREMENTS ~~–~~ O VERVIEW O F A SX L ISTING R ULES

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of equity securities that a listed company can issue or agree to issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

When the Convertible Notes were originally issued, they were convertible into up to approximately 41.6 million Shares. Shareholder approval is required for the issue of Conversion Shares as it does not fit within any of the exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.2.

The total Conversion Shares that may be issued on conversion of the amended Convertible Notes will be up to 293,287,235 Shares (upon a change of control) or 266,624,759 Shares (in ordinary

circumstances, subject to customary adjustment for dilutive events in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes).

The Company seeks approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 293,287,235 Shares on conversion of the amended Convertible Notes.

CONSEQUENCES O F I TEM 1

If Shareholders approve Item 1 of this Notice, the amended Convertible Notes will be convertible into Shares at any time until 10 business days prior to the Final Maturity Date (23 April 2028), unless the Convertible Notes are previously redeemed, converted, or repurchased and cancelled.

If Shareholders do not approve Item 1 of this Notice, the terms of the Convertible Notes will be amended as set out in Annexure A, however the Convertible Notes will be cash settled if a conversion would result in the issue of Conversion Shares in excess of the Approved Shares. If the Convertible Notes are cash settled the Company will be required to pay to the Existing Noteholder a cash amount, which will be calculated with reference to the VWAP of the Company’s Shares over a 45-day period, in lieu of the issue of Conversion Shares. If the Convertible Notes are cash settled they may not be converted until after Company’s AGM which will take place on or before 30 November 2023.

DIRECTORS’ R ECOMMENDATION

The Directors unanimously recommend that the Shareholders V OTE I N F AVOUR of Item 1.

ITEMS 2 , 3 , 4 A ND 5 ~~–~~ A SX L ISTING R ULE R EQUIREMENTS F OR R ATIFICATION O F P RIOR I SSUES O F SHARES

ASX L ISTING R ULE 7 .4 ~~–~~ A PPROVAL O F P RIOR I SSUES

Subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period. The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

To this end, Resolution 2, 3, 4, and 5 each seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Shares the subject of that Resolution under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 2, 3, 4 or 5 are passed, the issue of the Shares the subject of that Resolution will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the relevant issue date.

If Resolution 2, 3, 4 or 5 are not passed, the issue of the Shares the subject of that Resolution will continue to be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the relevant issue date.

The Directors consider that it is appropriate and prudent for approval to be sought in respect of the issue of the Shares contemplated by Resolution 2, 3, 4 and 5, as such approvals will enhance the Company’s flexibility to raise further equity capital and/or issue new securities, should the Directors consider that it is in the best interests of the Company to do so.

ITEM 2 ~~-~~ R ATIFICATION O F T HE J UNE 2 023 P LACEMENT

BACKGROUND

On 15 June 2023, the Company issued 52,479,860 Shares (J une 2 023 P lacement S hares ) at an issue price of A$0.47 per Share to institutional and sophisticated investors (none of whom were related parties of the Company) identified by or introduced by Goldman Sachs Australia Pty Ltd to the Company during the book build process conducted on 8 June 2023 and completed on 9 June 2023.

The issue of the June 2023 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it uses part of the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue date (until 15 June 2024).

ADDITIONAL I NFORMATION R EQUIRED B Y A SX L ISTING R ULE 7 .5

The issue of the December 2022 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it uses part of the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue date (until 19 December 2023).
