NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO

BE HELD MAY 29, 2026

The Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of XBP Global Holdings, Inc. (“XBP” or the “Company”) will be conducted virtually on May 29, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), via a live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/XBP2026, for the purpose of:

1. Electing to the Board of Directors the seven nominees named in the accompanying proxy statement who have been nominated by the Board of Directors to serve as directors until the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders;

2. Acting upon a proposal to ratify the appointment of UHY LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026;

3. Approving, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our named executive officers (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay vote”); and

4. Approving, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the frequency of future say-on-pay votes.

The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on April 21, 2026, as the date for determining stockholders of record entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote their shares in favor of the election of each of the nominees, and in favor of Proposals 2 and 3, and vote to hold future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers every “1 YEAR” for Proposal 4.

This Notice of Annual Meeting and accompanying proxy statement, a proxy or voting instruction card and our 2025 Annual Report to Stockholders will be first mailed to you and to other stockholders of record commencing on or about April 29, 2026. All stockholders are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format so as many stockholders as possible can participate. Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting or not, please sign, date, and return the proxy card accompanying the proxy statement as soon as possible in the envelope provided. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. Please review the instructions on the proxy or voting instruction card regarding your voting options.

Your attention is directed to the proxy statement (including any annexes hereto) for a more complete description of each of the proposals. We encourage you to read the proxy statement carefully. If you have any questions or need assistance voting your shares, please contact us at investors@xbpglobal.com.
