Regulatory Announcement

PUBLICATION OF CIRCULAR AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

Proposed sale of Kerry Dairy Ireland to Kerry Co-Operative Creameries Limited

Further to the announcement made on 12 November 2024, Kerry Group plc ("Kerry" or the "Company") has today issued a shareholder circular (the "Circular") in relation to the proposed sale of Kerry Dairy Holdings (Ireland) Limited ("Kerry Dairy Ireland") to Kerry Co-Operative Creameries Limited (the "Co-Op") (the "Proposed Transaction").

As the Co-Op holds approximately 11% of the issued share capital of Kerry, the Co-Op is considered to be a substantial shareholder of Kerry for the purpose of the Irish Listing Rules. The Proposed Transaction therefore constitutes a related party transaction for Kerry and is subject to approval by Kerry's independent shareholders¹. The Circular contains a notice convening an extraordinary general meeting (the "EGM"), at which such approval (together with approval of other related matters) will be sought.

The EGM will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, 19 December 2024, at the Rose Hotel, Dan Spring Road, Tralee, Co. Kerry, V92 HKA4, Ireland. The Circular, the Form of Proxy, and copies of  certain ancillary documents (including the Articles of Association of Kerry in the proposed amended form) are available for inspection on the Company's website at www.kerry.com/egm and in physical form at the registered office of Kerry Group plc, Prince's Street, Tralee, Co. Kerry, V92 EH11, Ireland, at Kerry Ingredients (UK) Limited, Kerry, Bradley Road, Royal Portbury Dock, Bristol, BS20 7NZ, United Kingdom and at the offices of Arthur Cox LLP at Ten Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin 2, D02 T380, Ireland, during usual business hours from today (Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays excepted) until and including the date of the EGM.

Further information in relation to the EGM

In accordance with Irish Listing Rule 6.1.59 and UK Listing Rule 6.4.1, the Circular, the Form of Proxy and the Articles of Association of Kerry in the proposed amended form will be submitted to the Irish Stock Exchange t/a Euronext Dublin and the UK's National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at:
