Dear Shareholder

18 June 2024

Notice of Annual General Meeting -11 July 2024

Our Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held at the offices of Ashurst LLP, London Fruit & Wool Exchange, 1 Duval Square, London, E1 6PW on Thursday 11 July 2024 at 11.00 a.m. Full details of the meeting and the resolutions that will be put to shareholders are set out in the enclosed Notice of Annual General Meeting (the "Notice").

Delivering for shareholders and maximising the value of Renewi

Over the past year, the Company has delivered against its strategy. The Company has reshaped its portfolio, including the recently announced disposal of its UK Municipal business, delivered strong and structural increases in profitability at Coolrec and Maltha, transformed the performance in M&W with ATM outperforming plan, and delivered increasing cash generation. The Board and Executive Team fully recognise the need to deliver improved and sustained value for all shareholders. They believe they have the strategy in place to achieve this and are encouraged by the execution momentum. That said, consistent with its fiduciary duties, the Board wishes to reiterate its willingness to objectively evaluate all alternative routes to maximise value on a timely basis.

The Board also remains committed to strong governance, including evolution of the Board in the ordinary course, in part to achieve the Board's ambition to meet the Board diversity targets set out in Listing Rule 9.8.6(9) by the end of 2024. The Board looks forward to the support of the Company's shareholders at the forthcoming AGM as it continues to oversee the delivery of the Company's strategic vision and creation of sustained value for all shareholders.

Disapplication of pre-emption rights authority

At the 2023 annual general meeting, in accordance with the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles, the Company sought authority to issue shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis up to a maximum of 20% of the Company's issued share capital, spread over two resolutions (in each case, with a further authority for the purposes of making a follow-on offer). A significant minority of our shareholders voted against the increased authority requested under the second dis-application of pre-emption rights resolution, which did not pass. As a result, at the 2024 AGM, the Board is proposing a single resolution for the dis-application of pre-emption rights for up to 10% of the Company's issued share capital (plus follow-on offers), having taken into consideration the views of our shareholders.

Explanatory notes

The notes on the following pages provide explanations of the proposed resolutions.

Resolutions 1 to 15 are proposed as ordinary resolutions; meaning that a simple majority of votes cast in favour is required to pass each resolution.

Resolutions 16 to 18 are proposed as special resolutions; meaning that for each of these resolutions to be passed, not less than 75% of votes cast in favour is required.

Please note that a "vote withheld" (as it appears on the Form of Proxy) is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "for" or "against" a resolution.

Reports and Accounts (Resolution 1)

Shareholders are being asked to receive and adopt the audited accounts of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2024 together with the associated Directors' and Auditors' Reports.

Declaration of a Final Dividend (Resolution 2)

Resolution 2 deals with the declaration of a final dividend of 5 pence per Ordinary Share for the year ended 31 March 2024. If approved, the dividend will be paid on 31 July 2024 to Shareholders on the register of members at the close of business on 28 June 2024.

Directors' Remuneration Report (Resolution 3)

Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval for the Annual Statement by the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee and the Annual Report on Remuneration, which can be found on pages 128 to 147 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2024, excluding the Directors' Remuneration Policy on pages 131 to 137. This vote is advisory and the Directors' entitlement to receive remuneration for the period to 31 March 2024 is not conditional upon it.

The Company's auditors during the year, BDO LLP, have audited those parts of the Directors' Remuneration Report that are required to be audited and their report may be found on pages 154 to 163 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2024.

Re-election of Directors (Resolutions 4 to 11)

The entire Board will retire at the AGM and offer themselves for re-election.

Biographical details of each Director standing for re-election

are set out in the Annual Report and Accounts 2024 and on pages 4 to 5 of this circular.

Following performance evaluations since the last AGM, the Board recommends to shareholders the re-election of these Directors, all of whom continue to demonstrate commitment to their respective roles and all of whose individual performance continues to be effective.

The Board considers each of the Non-Executive Directors to be independent.

Appointment of Auditors and Auditors' Remuneration (Resolutions 12 and 13)

The Company is required to appoint auditors at each general meeting at which accounts are presented to shareholders and BDO LLP have indicated their willingness to continue in office.

Accordingly, shareholders are being asked to re-appoint BDO LLP as auditors of the Company to hold office until the conclusion of the next general meeting at which accounts are laid before the Company. Shareholders are also being asked to authorise the Audit Committee to determine the remuneration of the Company's auditors.

Political Donations (Resolution 14)

In accordance with the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act"), a company may not make a political donation or incur political expenditure unless it has been authorised by ordinary resolution or the political donation does not exceed £25,000 when aggregated with all Group political donations in the past 12 months. While it remains the Company's policy not to make political donations or to incur political expenditure, the terms 'political donation', 'political parties', 'independent election candidates', 'political organisation' and 'political expenditure' are widely defined in the Act, and

it is possible that the definitions may include activities that the Company might carry on in the ordinary course of its business, such as participation in functions attended by politicians or participation in review of Governmental policy or law reform.

Therefore, in common with other companies, the Company is seeking shareholder approval, on a precautionary basis and to avoid unwitting contravention of the Act, to incur a level of expenditure to cover these activities. Any donations made, or expenditure incurred, under the authority will be disclosed in the Company's next Annual Report and Accounts.

The Company and its subsidiaries made no political donations and incurred no political expenditure during the year.

Authority to Allot Shares (Resolution 15)

The Directors may not allot new shares or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert securities into, shares in the Company unless authorised by shareholders in a general meeting. Paragraph

  1. of Resolution 15 will authorise the Directors to allot shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert securities into, shares up to an aggregate nominal value of £26,853,156. This represents approximately 33.33% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 14 June 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this circular).

In line with the Investment Association's Share Capital Management Guidelines issued in 2023, paragraph (b) of Resolution 15 will authorise the Directors to further allot shares, in connection with a fully pre-emptive offer, up to an aggregate nominal value of £26,853,156. This represents approximately 33.33% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as

at 14 June 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this circular).

6  Renewi plcNotice of Annual General Meeting 2024

The authorities sought under Resolution 15 will expire at the conclusion of the AGM held in 2025 or, if earlier, on 30 September 2025 (being the latest date by which the Company must hold its AGM in 2025). The Directors do not have any plans at present to exercise this authority (other than in satisfaction of the exercise of options or awards granted under the Company's employee share schemes) but consider it prudent to have the flexibility that this authority provides.

Disapplication of Statutory Pre-Emption Rights (Special Resolution 16)

The Directors are seeking an authority to allot equity securities or sell treasury shares for cash and otherwise than to existing shareholders pro rata to their holdings. Accordingly, Resolution 16 will be proposed as a special resolution to grant such a power.

Apart from offers or invitations in proportion to the respective number of ordinary shares held, the power will be limited to the allotment of equity securities and sales of treasury shares for cash

  1. up to an aggregate nominal value of £8,055,947 (this represents approximately 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 14 June 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this circular)) and (ii) any follow-on offer which the Directors determine to be of a kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of Part 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 ("Statement of Principles").

The Directors confirm that they will follow the shareholder protections in paragraph 1 of Part 2B of the Statement of Principles and, in relation to any follow-on offer, the expected features

of a follow-on offer as set out in paragraph 3 of Part 2B of the Statement of Principles.

Following the vote against special resolution 17 tabled at the annual general meeting in 2023, which if approved, would have increased the authority to disapply pre-emption rights by a further 10% (plus follow on offers) in connection with a transaction which the Board determined to be an acquisition or a specified capital investment, the Directors have determined not to seek an equivalent authority to disapply pre-emption rights at this year's AGM.

The authority sought under Resolution 16 will expire at the conclusion of the AGM held in 2025 or, if earlier, on 30 September 2025 (being the latest date by which the Company must hold its AGM in 2025).

Purchase of Own Shares (Special Resolution 17)

The Act permits a company to purchase its own shares provided the purchase has been authorised by shareholders. Resolution 17, if passed, would give the Company the authority to purchase its own issued ordinary shares at a price (exclusive of expenses) not less than £1.00, being the nominal value of each ordinary share, and not more than the higher of: (a) an amount equal to 105% of the average of the middle market quotations of the Company's ordinary shares as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five dealing days immediately preceding the date on which the ordinary share is contracted to be purchased;

or (b) an amount equal to the higher of the price of the last independent trade of any ordinary shares and the highest current independent trade bid for an ordinary share on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out.

The authority will enable the purchase of up to a maximum of 8,055,947 ordinary shares in the Company (approximately 10% of the Company's ordinary share capital in issue as at 14 June 2024). The authority will expire at the conclusion of the AGM held in 2025 or, if earlier, on 30 September 2025 (being the latest date by which the Company must hold its AGM in 2025).

The Directors believe that, in certain circumstances, it may be advantageous for the Company to have this flexibility to make market purchases of its own shares. The Directors will exercise this authority only if they are satisfied that a purchase would be in the interests of shareholders generally and (except in the case of purchases intended to satisfy obligations under share schemes) if they are satisfied that a purchase would result in an increase in expected earnings per share. In addition, the Directors will exercise this authority only after careful consideration, taking into account market conditions prevailing at the time, other investment opportunities, appropriate gearing levels, the expected effect on the return on embedded value and the overall financial position of the Company. Purchases would be financed out of distributable profits and shares purchased would either be cancelled or held as treasury shares. As at 14 June 2024, the Company did not hold any treasury shares and there were no warrants over ordinary shares in the capital of the Company.

As at 14 June 2024 there were options and LTIP awards over 1,965,026 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company which represented approximately 2.44% of the Company's issued share capital at that date. This would increase to 3.05%, at the same date, if the authority to purchase the Company's ordinary shares (existing and being sought) were exercised in full.

Call general meetings on short notice (Special Resolution 18)

The Act requires the notice period for general meetings of the Company to be at least 21 clear days unless shareholders approve a shorter notice period, which cannot however be less than 14 clear days. Resolution 18 will be proposed as a special resolution to obtain the necessary shareholder approval for that shorter notice period.

Annual General Meetings will continue to be held on at least 21 clear days' notice. The approval will be effective until the Company's next Annual General Meeting, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed. The shorter notice period would not be used as a matter of routine for such meetings.

The flexibility offered by this resolution will be used where, taking into account the circumstances, the Directors consider this appropriate in relation to the business to be considered at the meeting. In order to be able to call a general meeting on less than 21 clear days' notice, the Company must make a means of electronic voting available to all shareholders for that meeting.

Notes on the Notice of Meeting and how to vote

1. AGM attendance

If you wish to attend the AGM in person, you should arrive at

the venue in good time to allow your attendance to be registered. It is advisable to have some form of identification with you as you may be asked to provide evidence of your identity to the Company's Registrar, Computershare Investor Services plc

(the 'Registrar'), prior to admittance.

terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully if you intend to use Proxymity as you will be bound by them and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy.

Members may appoint a proxy using the website, or institutional investors may appoint a proxy via Proxymity, no later than 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time of the AGM or any adjournment of that meeting.

2. Appointment of proxies

Members are entitled to appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of their rights to attend, speak and vote at the AGM. A proxy need not be a member of the Company but must attend the AGM to represent a member. To be validly appointed, a proxy must be appointed using the procedures set out in these notes and in the notes to the accompanying Form of Proxy. If members wish their proxy to speak on their behalf at the meeting, members will need to appoint their own choice of proxy (not the Chairman of the AGM) and give their instructions directly to them.

Members can only appoint more than one proxy where each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. Members cannot appoint more than one proxy to exercise the rights attached to the same share(s). If a member wishes to appoint more than one proxy, additional Forms of Proxy may be obtained by contacting the Registrar's helpline on Tel: +44(0)370 707 1290* or members may photocopy their Form of Proxy. A member may instruct their proxy to abstain from voting on any of the resolutions to be considered at the meeting by marking the 'Vote Withheld' option when appointing their proxy. It should be noted that an abstention is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'For' or 'Against' the relevant resolution. The appointment of a proxy will not prevent a member from attending the AGM and voting in person if they so wish.

A person who is not a member of the Company but who has been nominated by a member to enjoy information rights does not have a right to appoint any proxies under the procedures set out in these notes and should read note 10 below.

3. Appointment of a proxy online

As an alternative to appointing a proxy using the Form

of Proxy or CREST, members can appoint a proxy online at www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy. In order to appoint a proxy using this website, members will need their Control Number, Shareholder Reference Number (SRN) and PIN. This information is printed on the Form of Proxy. If for any reason a member does not have this information, they should contact the Registrar on Tel: +44(0)370 707 1290*.

If you are an institutional investor you may also be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the Company's registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to http://www.proxymity.io. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's associated

4. Appointment of a proxy using a Form of Proxy

If you do not have a Form of Proxy and believe that you should have one, or you require additional Forms of Proxy, please contact the Registrar on Tel: +44(0)370 707 1290*.

5. Appointment of a proxy through CREST

CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual and by logging on to the following website: www.euroclear.com. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed (a) voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a 'CREST Proxy Instruction') must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's specifications, and must contain the information required for such instruction, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless

of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the Registrar (ID number 3RA50) no later than 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time of the AGM or any adjournment of that meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the Registrar is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s) should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular message.

In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting system providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5) (a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

The Company may not require the members requesting any such website publication to pay its expenses in complying with sections 527 or 528 of the Act. Where the Company is required to place

a statement on a website under section 527 of the Act, it must forward the statement to the Company's auditor not later than the time when it makes the statement available on the website.

15. Further questions and communication

Under section 319A of the Act, the Company must cause to be answered any question relating to the business being dealt with at the AGM put by a member attending the meeting, unless answering the question would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information,

We will continue to monitor this situation,

and the Company's obligations to take into account the votes

of shareholders will at all times remain subject to compliance with applicable law and regulation.
