   In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2 copies of the resolutions passed
   (other than those concerning ordinary business) will be submitted to the
   National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at
    2 https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

   The Board notes that resolution 17, the additional authority to disapply
   pre-emption rights, did not reach the required threshold to pass.

   In the coming months, the Board will engage with shareholders who voted
   against this resolution to understand the reasons behind their voting and,
   in accordance with the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code, the Company will
   provide an update on that engagement and any actions taken in response
   within six months.

   A final summary of the views heard during this shareholder engagement will
   be included in the Annual Report and Accounts 2024, and the explanatory
   notes to the relevant resolution to be put to shareholders at the Company's
   annual general meeting in 2024 will reflect the outcomes of deliberations as
   appropriate.

   About Renewi plc

    

   Renewi is a pure-play recycling company with a focus on extracting value
   from waste and used materials rather than disposal through incineration or
   landfill. The company also plays a key role in limiting resource scarcity
   through the creation of secondary materials, and by so doing addresses both
   social and regulatory trends and contributes to creating a cleaner, greener
   world.

   Renewi’s vision is to be the leading waste-to-product company in the world’s
   most advanced circular economies. With an industry leading recycling rate of
   63.6%, Renewi puts 7m tonnes of low carbon secondary materials back into
   reuse. This is a significant contribution to climate change mitigation and
   the circular economy. Our recycling protects virgin resources and avoids
   emissions of 2.5 million tonnes of CO2.

   Renewi, which draws on innovation and the latest technology to turn waste
   into useful materials - paper, metals, plastics, glass, wood, building
   materials, compost and water - employs over 6,500 people who work on 154
   operating sites in 5 countries across Europe and the UK. Renewi is
   recognised as a market leader in Benelux and a European leader in advanced
   recycling.
