Invitation to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Global Blue Group Holding AG (the "Company") Monday, August 18, 2025, 11:00 a.m. Central European Summer Time at Niederer Kraft Frey Ltd, Bahnhofstrasse 53, Zurich, Switzerland (physical meeting) I. AGENDA ITEMS 1. Approval of Merger Agreement Proposal of the Board of Directors: The Board of Directors proposes to approve the merger agreement between the Company as transferring com- pany, GT Holding 1 GmbH (“GT”) as surviving company and Shift4 Payments, Inc (“Shift4”) as GT's parent, pur- suant to which the Company will be absorbed by way of merger by GT as surviving company, dissolved without liquidation and deleted from the Commercial Register (“Merger Agreement”), and to which the audited merger balance sheet (audited statutory balance sheet) of the Company as of March 31, 2025 is attached (“Statutory Balance Sheet”). Explanation: On March 21, 2025, GT has launched the offer to acquire the shares of the Company under the United States Securities Exchange Act and disseminated the offer documentation to the shareholders of the Company, as re- quired thereunder and other applicable laws, rules and regulations (“Offer”). The Offer successfully completed on July 3, 2025. As a result, GT (together with Shift4) directly or indirectly holds approximately 97.37% of the Com- pany's shares outstanding (not including the treasury shares). As disclosed in its offer documentation, following the successful completion of the Offer, GT and the Company shall consummate a statutory squeeze-out merger pursuant to which the Company will be merged with and into GT, and GT will continue as the surviving entity of the merger, and each Company share (other than any Company shares directly or indirectly owned by Shift4 or GT) that is not validly tendered and accepted pursuant to the Offer will thereupon be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the merger consideration and each Company share directly or indirectly owned by Shift4 or GT will thereupon be deemed cancelled without any conversion thereof. On July 10, 2025, the Company, GT and Shift4 entered into the Merger Agreement, which is subject to certain conditions precedent, including the approval by the general meeting of the Company and the quotaholder of GT. The Merger Agreement, together with the Statutory Balance Sheet, are made available for inspection by the Com- pany shareholders under the following link https://ir.globalblue.com/governance/agm/default.aspx. The Board of Directors resolved that the Merger Agreement is in the best interest of, and fair to, the Company and its shareholders and adopted and approved the entry into the Merger Agreement. The Board of Directors prepared a merger report in accordance with art. 14 Merger Act dated July 10, 2025 (“Merger Report”). The Merger Report, among other information, contains information regarding the valuation of the merger consideration, which corre- sponds to the offer price for common shares offered in the Offer. The Merger Report, the fairness opinion letter


 

prepared by IFBC, the audit report of PricewaterhouseCoopers SA, Geneva, dated as of July 10, 2025, the audited statutory standalone and consolidated annual accounts and the annual reports of the Company for the past three years, the opening balance sheet as of February 17, 2025 of GT and GT's tender offer statement on Schedule TO dated March 21, 2025 are made available for inspection by the Company shareholders under the following link https://ir.globalblue.com/governance/agm/default.aspx. The Board of Directors recommends to shareholders to approve the Merger Agreement. 2. Approval of the additional amount of Executive Committee Compensation for the fiscal year 2024/2025 Proposal of the Board of Directors: The Board of Directors proposes the approval of an additional amount of compensation for the Executive Com- mittee of CHF 4.6 million for the fiscal year 2024/2025 (excluding employer social security and pension contribu- tions). Explanation: During the 2023 Annual General Meeting, for the fiscal year 2024/2025, CHF 14 million (excluding employer social security and pension contributions), representing the aggregate maximum compensation amount, was approved for the Executive Committee. Due to the fair value increase resulting from the modification of the management incentive plan earlier this year, the actual compensation amount for the relevant period exceeds the approved maximum by CHF 4.6 million. Such increase in the aggregate maximum compensation amount is subject to the shareholder approval. II.
