No business shall be conducted at the Annual General Meeting except for the items listed above. The voting items have been proposed to the Annual General Meeting by the Board of Directors.

The agenda with the explanatory notes thereto, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and the other meeting information are available as of the date hereof for inspection and can be obtained free of charge at the office address of the Company and at www.proxyvote.com. Our Dutch statutory board report and statutory annual accounts for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 will be available no later than May 18, 2026 on our website at https://www.newamsterdampharma.com/.

The record date under Dutch law (registratiedatum) for the Annual General Meeting is May 5, 2026 (the “Record Date”). Those who are shareholders of the Company, or who otherwise have voting rights and/or meeting rights with respect to shares in the Company’s capital as at close of business on the Record Date and who are recorded as such in the Company’s shareholders’ register or in the register maintained by the Company’s U.S. transfer agent (the “Registers”) may attend and, if relevant, vote at the Annual General Meeting (“Persons with Meeting Rights”), irrespective of changes to their shareholdings or rights after the Record Date.

Persons with Meeting Rights and shareholders who beneficially own shares in the Company’s capital in an account at a bank, broker or similar organization (the “Beneficial Owners”) on the Record Date who wish to attend the Annual General Meeting, in person or represented by proxy, must notify the Company in writing of their identity and intention to attend the Annual General Meeting (an “Attendance Notice”) no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 31, 2026 (5:59 a.m. CEST on June 1, 2026) (the “Cut-off Time”). Beneficial Owners must enclose with their Attendance Notice (i) proof of their beneficial ownership of the relevant underlying shares in the Company’s capital, such as a recent account statement, and (ii) a signed proxy authorizing them to act from the relevant shareholder who is registered in either of the Registers as the holder of those underlying shares on the Record Date. Persons with Meeting Rights and Beneficial Owners who have duly provided a valid Attendance Notice to the Company may have themselves represented at the Annual General Meeting through the use of a written or electronically recorded proxy. Proxyholders must submit a signed proxy no later than the Cut-off Time and present a copy of their proxy upon entry to the Annual General Meeting.

Any Attendance Notice, proof of beneficial ownership or signed proxy to be sent to the Company as part of the procedures described above must be provided via regular mail or e-mail to:

Any Attendance Notice, proof of beneficial ownership or signed proxy received after the Cut-off Time may not be accepted. Persons with Meeting Rights, Beneficial Owners and proxyholders who have not complied with the procedures described above may be refused entry to the Annual General Meeting.

If you are a Beneficial Owner with Ordinary Shares held in street name, you will receive instructions on how to vote from your bank, broker or similar organization. You must follow their instructions in order for your shares to be voted. Telephone and Internet voting also may be offered to shareholders owning Ordinary Shares through certain financial institutions. If your Ordinary Shares are held in street name and you would like to vote your shares in person at the Annual General Meeting, you should contact your bank, broker or similar organization to obtain a legal proxy and deliver a valid Attendance Notice.

It is important that your shares be represented at the Annual General Meeting regardless of whether you plan to attend in person. If you do not expect to attend the Annual General Meeting in person, proxies may be submitted up until the Cut-off Time via a toll-free telephone number (call 1-800-690-6903) or over the Internet (visitwww.proxyvote.com), as described in further detail in the enclosed materials, or by signing, dating and mailing the proxy card in the enclosed return envelope. Telephone and Internet voting facilities will be available 24 hours a day and will close at the Cut-off Time.

Voting your shares or submitting your proxy, as applicable, will be important for the presence of a quorum at the Annual General Meeting and will save us the expense of further solicitation. Submitting a proxy will not prevent you from voting your shares at the Annual General Meeting if you desire to do so, as your proxy is revocable at your option. Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares in the Company’s capital that you own. If you do not plan to attend the Annual General Meeting and if you are a Person with Meeting Rights, please submit your proxy instructions via the Internet, telephone or by mail, or, if you are a Beneficial Owner, please submit the voting instruction form you receive from your bank, broker or similar organization as soon as possible so your shares can be voted at the Annual General Meeting. If you attend the Annual General Meeting, you may withdraw your proxy and vote your shares personally.

By Order of the Board of Directors,

/s/ Michael Davidson
