DEARF ELLOWS HAREHOLDERS:
On behalf of our Board of Directors, I am pleased to invite you to the 2026 Annual General Meeting of
Shareholders of Clarivate Plc (the “Annual Meeting”), which will be held on Thursday, May 14, 2026, at the
Clarivate corporate headquarters located at 70 St. Mary Axe, London EC3A 8BE, United Kingdom, starting
at 1:00 p.m. BST.
The enclosed Notice of the 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement describe
the business that we will conduct at the meeting and the proposals that the shareholders of Clarivate will
consider and vote upon.
All shareholders of record of our ordinary shares at the close of business on March 16, 2026, the Record
Date, are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting, or any continuation,
postponement, or adjournment thereof. If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person, we encourage
you to request an admission ticket in advance. You can request a ticket in advance by following the
instructions under “Admission Procedure” in the Proxy Statement. Failure to request an admission ticket in
advance will not preclude your attendance at the Annual Meeting in person. However, in each case, an
individual must have evidence of ownership of the Company’s ordinary shares as of the Record Date and
a valid government-issued photo identification (e.g., a driver’s license or a passport) and should arrive in
advance, with sufficient time to be admitted to the Annual Meeting.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person, it is important that your shares be
represented and voted at the meeting. If you have elected to receive your proxy materials by mail, please
mark, sign, date, and return the proxy card in the envelope accompanying the proxy materials. If you
received your proxy materials through the internet, please submit your voting instructions by internet or
otherwise in accordance with the instructions provided in the notice of internet availability of proxy
materials that you received in the mail. You may also submit your proxy by sending a scanned PDF
version of the original proxy card by email to Company.Secretary@clarivate.com. If your shares are
held in the name of a bank or broker, submitting your voting instructions by mail, telephone, or internet will
depend on the processes of the bank or broker, and you should follow the instructions you receive from
your bank or broker.
Returning the proxy card or otherwise submitting your proxy does not deprive you of your right to attend
the Annual Meeting and vote. If you decide to attend the Annual Meeting, you will be able to revoke your
proxy and vote. Any signed proxy returned and not completed will be voted by management in favor of all
proposals presented in the Proxy Statement.
Remember that your shares cannot be voted unless you submit your proxy or attend the Annual Meeting
in person. Your participation is important, so please review these materials carefully and submit your
voting instructions.
Thank you for your continued support of Clarivate.
Sincerely,
Andy Snyder
Chair of the Board
