    1. up to an aggregate nominal value of £5,136,000 (being the nominal value of approximately one third of Bango's issued share capital, and such amount to be reduced by the nominal amount of any allotments or grants made under sub-paragraph b below in excess of such sum) to such persons at such times and generally on such terms and conditions as the Directors may determine (subject always to the articles of association of Bango); and

      1. the holders of ordinary shares of £0.20 each in the capital of Bango ("Ordinary Shares") in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to the respective number of Ordinary Shares held by them; and

      2. the holders of other equity securities, as required by the rights of those securities, or subject to such rights as the Directors otherwise consider necessary,

        such authority (unless previously revoked, varied or renewed by Bango) to expire on the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of Bango following the passing of this resolution or, if earlier, the date 15 months after the date of passing this resolution, save that Bango may at any time before such expiry make any offer(s) or enter into any agreement(s) which would or might require shares to be allotted or Rights to be granted after such expiry and the Directors may allot shares or grant Rights in pursuance of any such offer(s) or agreement(s) as if the power and authority conferred by this resolution had not expired.

  12.

    3. the allotment of equity securities (otherwise than under sub-paragraph a or sub-paragraph b above) up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to 20% of any allotment of equity securities from time to time under subparagraph b above, such authority to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer which the Directors determine to be of a kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of Section 2B of the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting of Bango,

      and this authority (unless previously revoked, varied or renewed by Bango) shall expire on the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of Bango following the passing of this resolution or, if earlier, the date 15 months after the date of passing this resolution save that Bango may at any time before such expiry make any offer(s) or enter into any agreement(s) which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after such expiry and the Directors may allot equity securities pursuant to any such offer(s) or agreement(s) as if the power and authority conferred by this resolution had not expired.

By order of the Board

Notice of Annual General Meeting - Explanatory Notes

Report and Accounts (Resolution 1)

The Directors of Bango must present the accounts to the meeting.

Re-election of Directors (Resolutions 2 - 7)

In accordance with The Quoted Companies Alliance Corporate Governance Code, all directors will stand for re-election at the AGM this year. Biographies are available on pages 43 to 45 of the Annual Report, with further details available on the Bango investor website, bangoinvestor.com. The Board considers that each of the Directors demonstrates commitment to the role and their biographies illustrate why each of their contributions are, and continue to be, important to the long-term success of Bango and the attainment of shareholder value. As such, the Board recommends their re-election.

As previously announced by Bango, Anthony Perkins has decided not to stand for re-election at this year's AGM. This decision reflects increasing time commitments arising from Tony's separate consultancy business. The Board would like to thank Tony for his valuable contribution during his tenure and wishes him well for the future.

The Board recognizes the importance of maintaining an appropriate balance of skills, experience and knowledge, including financial expertise, in accordance with the principles of the QCA Corporate Governance Code. Accordingly, the Board has commenced a search for a suitably qualified Non-Executive Director with appropriate financial experience to assume the role of Audit Committee Chair, and Tony has agreed to support an orderly transition process.

Subject to re-election at the AGM, Darcy Antonellis will become Chair of the Board. Subject to re-election at the AGM, Ray Anderson will continue to serve on the Board as a Non-Executive Founder Director.

Advisory votes on Directors' Remuneration Policy and Report (Resolutions 8 and 9)

As an AIM-listed company, Bango is not required to seek shareholder approval of its Directors' Remuneration Policy and Directors Remuneration Report. However, the Board is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and shareholder engagement. Accordingly, and as recommended by The Quoted Companies Alliance Corporate Governance Code, shareholders are being given the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the Directors' Remuneration Policy and Directors Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 31 December 2025.

These votes are advisory only and the outcomes will not be binding on Bango. However, the Board and the Remuneration Committee will take the results of the votes into account when considering, reviewing and implementing future remuneration arrangements.

Reappointment and remuneration of auditors (Resolution 10)

Resolution 10 proposes the re-appointment of BDO LLP as auditors of Bango and authorizes the Board to determine the auditors' remuneration. Following a tender process, BDO LLP was appointed as Bango's auditors on 19 April 2024. The Board recommends their re-appointment as auditors of Bango.

Directors' authority to allot shares (Resolution 11)

Directors may only allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares ("Rights") if authorized to do so by the shareholders. The authority granted at the last Annual General Meeting is due to expire at the conclusion of this year's Annual General Meeting. This resolution 11, which complies with guidance issued by the Investment Association, seeks to grant a new authority to the Directors to allot shares and/or grant Rights, and will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of Bango or, if earlier, on 25 September 2027 (the date which is 15 months after the date of passing of the resolution). Investment Association guidance confirms that shareholders may regard as routine an authority to allot up to two-thirds of the existing issued share capital. However, any amounts allotted in excess of one-third of the existing issued share capital should be applied to fully pre-emptive rights issues only. This resolution reflects this guidance. There is no present intention of exercising this authority. However, if passed, this resolution would give Directors authority to allot shares and/or grant Rights up to an aggregate nominal value of £5,136,000 (approximately one-third of Bango's issued ordinary share capital as at 30 April 2026), and up to an aggregate nominal value of £10,273,000 (approximately two-thirds of Bango's issued ordinary share capital as at 30 April 2026) in connection with an offer by way of a rights issue or other pre-emptive offer. Shareholders should note that if the Directors wish to use the authority granted by this resolution 11 and allot shares and/or grant Rights they must first offer them to existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings. If resolutions 12, 13 and 14 are passed, the total number of shares which can be issued without a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders would be 15,410,000 Ordinary Shares (equivalent to approximately 20 per cent of Bango's issued ordinary share capital as at 30 April 2026). Shareholders should further note that the authorization granted by this resolution 11 is not required for the grant of options (or the issue of shares on exercise of such options) under an employee share scheme.

Disapplication of pre-emption rights (Resolutions 12, 13 and 14)

Under section 561(1) of the Act, if the Directors wish to allot equity securities (as defined in section 560 of the Act) (other than following an exercise of options granted under an employee share scheme) they must in the first instance offer them to existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings. There may be occasions, however, when the Directors will need the flexibility to finance business opportunities by the issue of shares without a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders. This cannot be done under the Act unless the shareholders have first waived their pre-emption rights.

Resolution 12 asks the shareholders to do this and, apart from rights issues or any other pre-emptive offer concerning equity securities and the grant of share options, the authority will be limited to the issue of equity securities for cash up to a maximum nominal value of £1,541,000 (being 7,705,000 ordinary shares of £0.20 each ("Ordinary Shares")), which is equivalent to approximately 10 per cent of Bango's issued ordinary share capital as at 30 April 2026, in line with the Pre-Emption Group 2022 Statement of Principles ("Statement of Principles") for the disapplication of pre-emption rights. Resolution 12 also seeks a disapplication of the pre-emption rights on a rights issue so as to allow the Directors to make exclusions or such other arrangements as may be appropriate to resolve legal or practical problems which, for example, might arise with overseas shareholders. Resolution 12 also provides for a follow-on offer to existing holders of securities not allocated shares under an issue made under either 12a or 12b. This reflects the Statement of Principles to increase flexibility.

Resolution 13 seeks additional approval for the disapplication of pre-emption rights on shares issued for cash up to a further nominal value of £1,541,000 (being 7,705,000 Ordinary Shares), which is equivalent to approximately 10 per cent of Bango's issued ordinary share capital as at 30 April 2026. This authority can only be exercised in connection with one or more acquisitions or specified capital investments that the Directors determine fall within the Statement of Principles. The Directors confirm that the additional 10 per cent authority will only be used in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment which is announced contemporaneously with the issue, or which has taken place in the preceding 12-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the issue in accordance with the Statement of Principles. Resolution 13 also provides for a follow-on offer to existing holders of securities not allocated shares under an issue made under either 13a or 13b. This reflects the Statement of Principles to increase flexibility.

Resolution 14 seeks additional approval for the disapplication of pre-emption rights on shares issued for cash up to a further nominal value of £1,541,000 (being 7,705,000 Ordinary Shares), which is equivalent to approximately 10 per cent of Bango's issued ordinary share capital as at 30 April 2026. This authority is in addition to the authority in resolution 12b, which means that, if both resolution 12 and resolution 14 are passed, the Directors will be able to issue shares up to a total nominal value of

£3,082,000 (being 15,410,000 Ordinary Shares, equivalent to approximately 20 per cent of Bango's issued ordinary share capital as at 30 April 2026) without a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders. Any shares issued pursuant to this authority shall reduce the number of shares which can be allotted under resolution 12 and any shares allotted under resolution 13 will likewise reduce the number of shares which can be issued under this authority. This means that, if resolutions 12, 13 and 14 are passed, the total number of shares which can be issued without a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders would be 15,410,000 Ordinary Shares (equivalent to approximately 20 per cent of Bango's issued ordinary share capital as at 30 April 2026). The Directors are seeking this authority for additional flexibility to issue shares non-pre-emptively to support the business without the restriction that the authority must be used in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment falling within the Statement of Principles.

If resolutions 12, 13 and 14 are passed, the authorities will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of Bango or, if earlier, 25 September 2027 (the date which is 15 months after the date of passing of the resolution). Shareholders will note that these resolutions will be proposed as special resolutions.
