Abcam highlights successful execution of strategic priorities to drive shareholder value

Under CEO Alan Hirzel’s leadership, Abcam has transformed as a business,

Abcam’s strong, independent, and highly qualified Board is effectively overseeing

execution of the Company’s strategy

Jonathan Milner’s demands to become Executive Chairman and remove three

directors from the Board will put shareholders’ investment in Abcam at risk

Cambridge, UK / Waltham, MA: Abcam plc (“Abcam,” “Company,” “Group”) (Nasdaq: ABCM), a global leader in the supply of life science research tools, today filed an investor presentation with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company (the “EGM”) to be held on July 12, 2023 at 2:00pm (BST) || 9:00am (EDT). The full presentation and other materials related to the EGM are available at https://corporate.abcam.com/investors/2023-egm.

The Company issued the following statement:

We believe Jonathan Milner’s attempt to wrest control of Abcam and become its de facto CEO will jeopardize Abcam’s recent momentum as well as its day-to-day operations, growth strategy and competitive position.

Jonathan Milner has not been operationally involved in Abcam for nearly a decade. Since then, the Company has matured into a fundamentally different business and has successfully executed its Abcam 2.0 strategy. Revenues have nearly tripled under CEO Alan Hirzel’s leadership, growing by 183% during his tenure, while Abcam has also expanded globally and increased its market share. With the

groundwork now in place, Abcam is set to benefit as sales rise and margins improve.

Jonathan Milner has failed to articulate to shareholders or the Company what appointing him to an Executive Chairman role would mean in practice or what new strategy he is seeking to deploy. The Board believes this sudden and significant shift in both operational and executive leadership of Abcam will put shareholders’ investment at risk and cause an uncertain period of disruption. The Company urges shareholder to vote “AGAINST” all eight of the resolutions being put forward at the EGM.

Key points of the presentation:

• Over the last decade, Abcam has transformed into a leading life science tools player, creating significant value for all shareholders and other stakeholders, and has outperformed the market.

o Over the course of Alan Hirzel’s tenure as CEO prior to COVID-19, Abcam’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) of 178% outpaced life sciences tools peers (167%)¹ and Russell 3000 (77%).

o Over the past twelve months, Abcam’s 27% TSR has significantly outperformed the same group of life science tools peers (-12% over the same period).

o Abcam has transitioned away from being a simple broker of third-party antibodies towards being an innovation-oriented, quality-focused partner to life science researchers, driving profitable, sustained market share gains.

o This is a fundamentally different business from Jonathan Milner’s transactional “Amazon of Antibodies”, a catalogue of predominantly third-party products, which led to a high level of customer complaints.

• Abcam is successfully executing on its five-year growth strategy to drive long-term value.

¹ Life science tools peers include Bio-Rad, Bio-Techne, Illumina, Maravai, Repligen, Sartorius, Tecan and Waters.

o The Company is on track to deliver its 2024 revenue goals of £450 million to £525 million, with adjusted operating profit margins of greater than 30%.

o As Abcam is delivering on its six key priorities for long-term durable growth, the Company has doubled its revenue over the past five years and delivered profitable, sustained market share gains.

o The timing of Jonathan Milner’s campaign is opportunistic as investment requirements from the five-year growth strategy are largely complete, underpinning the sustained organic growth and accelerated margin improvement back towards historic levels.

• Jonathan Milner’s demands are not in the best interests of all shareholders and will put shareholders’ investments in Abcam at risk.

o Abcam has worked tirelessly and in good faith with Jonathan Milner in order to avoid an expensive and distracting proxy contest. The Board moved quickly to consider his request to return to the Board – but when invited to join the Board, Jonathan Milner rejected this invitation and changed his demands.

o Jonathan Milner has called a costly EGM so that he can attempt to appoint himself Executive Chairman and remove three directors from the Board, with no proposed alternative candidates.

o The changes proposed by Jonathan Milner would cause a sudden and significant shift in leadership during a critical inflection point and would jeopardize the Company’s recent momentum as well as its day-to-day operations, growth strategy and competitive position.

o While he was on the Board, Jonathan Milner endorsed the strategic plan developed by Alan Hirzel that has delivered significant value to shareholders.

• Abcam’s strong, independent, and highly qualified Board is effectively overseeing the execution of the Company’s strategy.

o Abcam’s Board has the right experience, skillset, and deep knowledge of both the life sciences industry and the Company’s business model to continue overseeing the execution of the strategy and deliver value to all shareholders and other stakeholders.

o Abcam’s Board has sought to engage with Jonathan Milner to bring this matter to a close in line with good governance procedures. Jonathan Milner chose this route rather than to constructively engage.

o Peter Allen, Michael Baldock, and Sally Crawford have played essential roles in overseeing Abcam’s transformation, and their removal would be damaging for all stakeholders.

• Abcam’s remuneration program, the Profitable Growth Incentive Plan (PGIP), is aligned with shareholder interests and incentivizes long-term value creation.

o Incentive arrangements for 150 leaders in the business are aligned to Abcam’s long-term strategy for doubling revenue by 2024. This compensation framework was put in place before the Company moved to a sole US listing.

o Extensive shareholder consultation was undertaken during the establishment of this framework.

o Notably, Jonathan Milner voted in favor of the remuneration program and its metrics and did not raise any concerns about the metrics at that time, or at any point before April 28, 2023.

Abcam urges shareholders to vote AGAINST all Resolutions at the EGM on July 12, 2023.

SECTION 1 Executive Summary

Investor Presentation | June 2023 Executive Summary Strategic Decisions Taken Since 2014 Critical to Growth Trajectory Over Last Decade • Transition away from being a value-added broker of third-party antibodies towards being an innovation-oriented, quality-focused partner to life science researchers in order to drive profitable, sustained market share gains – Abcam 1.0 strategy of “Amazon of Antibodies” vs. Abcam 2.0, “Protein Sciences Reagent Innovator, Accelerating Discovery to Clinic” • Broadened focus and TAM beyond antibodies to unlock opportunities in immunoassays, cellular and biochemical assays and cytokines • Replacing “size of catalogue” culture with “customer led innovation” approach to pursue market differentiation and increased revenue duration • Upgrade to every aspect of the business to transition business model and support growth Systematic Execution of 5yr Investment Plan As Outlined in 2019 Capital Markets Day Accelerated transition to in-house products setting Abcam up for sustained top-line growth and margin expansion Introduced products, sales, business development capabilities and partnerships to penetrate biopharma ~£120MM investment in data, architecture and ERP software to establish a digital platform for growth Expanded and upgraded automation, facilities and organization capabilities to serve growth Added tuck-in acquisitions to strengthen innovation capabilities and enhance margins Created significant value for all stakeholders with +27% TSR over the last 12 months and +178% TSR since the start of Alan Hirzel’s tenure as CEO (Sep-2014) until year end 2019 (before the rollout of Abcam’s five-year strategic plan) Jonathan Milner’s Campaign is Unnecessary and Not in the Best Interest of Shareholders Abcam has a long history of shareholder engagement and strong governance Despite choosing not to voice his concerns at the May 2023 AGM, the Board conducted an accelerated review of Jonathan Milner’s request to re-join the Board Jonathan Milner ultimately abandoned Abcam’s good-faith offer of joining as a non-executive Director, and demanded to be named Executive Chair (introducing significant risk and uncertainty to our strategy and for our shareholders) While an accomplished scientist and small company entrepreneur, Jonathan Milner lacks the skills required to lead the scale of operations of Abcam today Jonathan Milner has not been operationally involved in Abcam for nearly a decade, which explains why he has been unable to articulate a specific, substantiative plan Electing Jonathan Milner would impede Abcam’s long-term growth and value creation, and be disruptive to progress already underway Jonathan Milner lacks the capabilities to Chair the strategic shift that Alan Hirzel and the Board have implemented to drive Abcam’s transformation into an innovative in-house portfolio of products, with highly effective quality controls and significantly improved employee engagement Jonathan Milner is attempting to take control of Abcam and simultaneously serve as its de facto CEO without explaining what new plan he is seeking to deploy Jonathan Milner has thus far failed to articulate what appointing him to an Executive Chairman role would mean in practice He has promised to review various items and then formulate a plan – this should be alarming to shareholders and underscores how far-removed from Abcam Jonathan Milner has become Peter Allen, Michael Baldock, and Sally Crawford are playing a vital role at Abcam The overwhelming support for these Directors in the recent AGM vote is testament to their critical work and wealth of experience

Section 2 Abcam is Set for Durable Future Growth

Investor Presentation | June 2023 The Abcam of Today is Not the Abcam of Jonathan Milner’s Leadership Era Abcam is Successfully Executing on its Mission to be the Most Influential Company for Life Scientists: Supporting Research, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Discovery 1 Abcam of Old: Jonathan Milner’s Transactional “Amazon of Antibodies” Catalogue of ~133K predominantly third-party products with meaningful quality and consistency issues Low customer NPS(1) scores (~+18) and customer complaint rates of about 2% Low capex spend leading to underinvested infrastructure and poor innovation record Disengaged employee base (~740+) with negative employee NPS (-5) 2 Abcam Today: a Life Science Company Led by Our Employees to Become the Market Leader Market Leading, Differentiated Reagents Customer-Focused Approach Personalized Employee Experience Optimized catalogue of 90K high-quality, validated products Transition into in-house products to drive control over quality >80K citations per year; #1 in antibody citations Strong customer NPS driving brand awareness & customer satisfaction Leading discovery partner for Dx & biopharma organizations Scaled infrastructure to give customers flexibility & ensure data integrity Enlarged, highly specialized employee base (~1,750) with 40+ employee NPS Top ranked employer growing via investing in culture and talent >90% of eligible employees are shareholders owning ~2% of shares 1. Net Promoter Score

Investor Presentation | June 2023 1 The Abcam of Today is Larger and Stronger vs. Jonathan Milner’s Leadership Era As Founder / CEO, Jonathan Milner created a value added e-commerce distributor of third party products His “Amazon of Antibodies” approach led to a high level of customer complaints and a brand perception that many Abcam antibodies would not be reliable His chronic underinvestment in the Company led to the need for an extensive period of investment to repair the limited scalability of systems / data, product quality, employee engagement and facilities As Non-Executive Deputy Chairman, Jonathan Milner approved the strategic direction and investments including the NASDAQ listing that he is now attacking In an Executive capacity, your Board believes that Jonathan Milner does not have the skills or operational experience to run the science driven company that Abcam is today

Investor Presentation | June 2023 Leading Analysts are Confident About Abcam 2.0 and the Strategic Plan “However, in recent months, Abcam has demonstrated much stronger performance. In a trading update in April, Abcam announced that revenues in 1Q were £100mn+, and operating margins were > 25% - well ahead of our estimates.” “We’re upgrading ABCM to Buy and raising our PO to $25 as we’ve grown increasingly confident in the company’s ability to meet its ambitious mid-term targets. The company’s results have improved markedly in recent months making its FY24 goals far more achievable.” “It’s unclear where this activism will lead, but even without dramatic changes, we think Abcam has found its footing and is demonstrating improved performance.” June 16, 2023 “Abcam’s leading position within a high-margin and defensive part of the biological research value-chain may well make it an interesting candidate, with additional potential to leverage its digital platform with new product categories too ... Abcam did not benefit from the bioprocessing tailwind enjoyed by many life science tools peers over the last few years, and equally now does not face the customer destocking headwinds, which may also be attractive.” June 5, 2023 “By leveraging customer data and its best in-class recombinant antibody portfolio, Abcam is playing from an advantaged position in its organic product development and evaluation of potential M&A targets. With expansion underway in a number of new market adjacencies in its core research market and increasing biopharma exposure, the stock provides exposure to attractive end-market growth dynamics while risks to the growth story are diversified across products and customers.” May 5, 2023

Investor Presentation | June 2023 abcam UK Regulatory Regime Ensures Transparency and Strong Structural Features on Remuneration Transparent and pre-determined frameworks As a UK-incorporated public company, Abcam has a history of extensive reporting on remuneration The UK regulatory regime on remuneration is one of the more restrictive globally, setting the requirement for an annual vote on the remuneration report and a triennial vote on a remuneration policy The shareholder approved remuneration policy sets the framework and limits under which the Remuneration Committee can determine the renumeration of Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors That policy provides certainty to shareholders and restricts the ability of the Remuneration Committee to deviate from the established framework Abcam’s remuneration policy aligns to best practices Salary increases generally aligned to the workforce Pension contributions for executives limited to 8% of salary, aligned to the rate available to the UK workforce Annual bonus capped at 150% of salary, based on underlying financial, strategic and ESG performance, with 30% of pay-outs deferred into equity for two years The one-off PGIP, aligned to the five-year transformation strategy, subject to the achievement of stretching performance conditions and a cap on returns, and subject to a 3.5 year performance period and staggered holding periods over a further 1.5 years Malus and clawback provisions to allow recovery of payments Dilution limits aligned to UK best practice Extensive reporting aligned with UK market practice Benchmarking of remuneration levels against comparable peers in the US and UK Regular ability of shareholders to opine on remuneration policy and practices Abcam’s shareholder approved remuneration policy establishes a transparent remuneration framework aligned to best practice

Ensuring Clear Alignment Between Incentives and Strategy
H1 2019: Abcam incentives schemes were:
A bonus plan based on adjusted profit before tax (“PBT”) and a combination of strategic and personal objectives for executive directors
An LTIP based on EPS growth, and certain measures aligned to the existing strategy
The Committee recognized that the existing structure had become misaligned with the ambition to create significant long- term value by doubling Abcam’s revenue from £260 million to £443-£518 million (adjusted following the Biovision acquisition) by 2024
The profitable growth incentive plan (“PGIP”) was the result of an extensive review of remuneration and following completion of the three-year 2018 remuneration policy, developed to incentivize delivery of the new strategy
2019 2020 2021 2022
H2 2019: Abcam conducted an in-depth review of strategy and investment plans
This resulted in a new five-year plan being developed, which provides for an increase in the pace of investment over the medium term, which was detailed to shareholders at the 2019 Capital Markets Day
Following the development of a revised strategy, the Remuneration Committee took steps to review incentive arrangements to ensure that renumeration was aligned with Abcam’s value creation strategy

Investor Presentation | June 2023
abcam
A Responsive Board with a Genuine Commitment to Shareholder Engagement
Engaging with Shareholders
The design of the PGIP was the culmination of a nine-month process of shareholder consultation
In October 2020, the Remuneration Committee engaged with major shareholders who were supportive of changes to remuneration to align with strategy
March 2021 to May 2021
Holders representing over 72% of shares were engaged with, and consultations were held with shares in aggregate, to participate in a further consultation on the details of the plan
Listening to Shareholders
Following extensive shareholder consultation, changes were made to the initial proposals prior to adoption in 2021 to reflect this feedback, such as:
Reducing the overall quantum available to the Executive Directors and implementing a cap on the plan
Extending the participation of the plan to approximately 150 senior leaders in the Company
Jonathan Milner voted in FAVOUR of the PGIP and its metrics and did not raise any concerns about the plan or metrics at that time, or at any point before April 28, 2023
Following the vote on the PGIP, throughout 2021 and 2022, the Remuneration Committee again engaged extensively with shareholders to further develop its understanding of shareholder views on how best to incentivize executives
Abcam’s PGIP was designed and amended through extensive engagement and constructive collaboration with shareholders

Investor Presentation | June 2023 Abcam The Profitable Growth Incentive Plan (“PGIP”) Aligns all Senior Leaders to the Delivery of Abcam’s Strategic Goals • The PGIP aims to incentivise approximately 150 senior leaders to deliver Abcam’s profitable revenue growth ambition by the end of 2024, aligning the remuneration framework with strategy and the interest of shareholders • Remuneration decisions are set by the shareholder approved remuneration policy, limiting discretion available to the Renumeration Committee • In line with best practice, the Remuneration Committee retains power to apply discretion, thereby ensuring a strong link between pay and performance if the formulaic reward outcome is not aligned with performance (including shareholder experience). • Awards are granted in equity, fully performance-based, measured over 3.5 years and subject to a vesting time horizon of 3.5-5 years, augmenting alignment with shareholder interests • The PGIP is based on two performance metrics – a constant currency revenue target originally set at £425-500m and revised to £443-518m on the acquisition of Biovision – a ROCE underpin of 12.5% • No further LTIP awards will be made to the existing Executive Directors over the life of the plan, and no adjustments have been made to the performance range under the plan, apart from the increase in revenue targets due to acquisition, as per the terms of the plan approved by shareholders Abcam’s PGIP includes stretching performance targets clearly aligned to strategy

Investor Presentation | June 2023 Our Approach to Remuneration Has Been Consistent With Best Practices and Rigorously Tested Against Market CEO Pay Decisions Peer Comparisons • In 2020, the CEO’s pension entitlement was reduced from 13% of salary to 8%, aligning his level with those of the general workforce • No salary increase in either 2022 or 2021 • Three-year lookback on payouts as a percentage of maximum, demonstrating alignment between pay and performance Year Annual Bonus LTIP 2020 37.7% 68.4% (Granted in 2018) 2021 81.7% 77.6% (Granted in 2019) 2022 25.3% 60.8% (Granted in 2020) • During 2022, the Committee undertook a comprehensive exercise to evaluate CEO pay levels versus a combination of UK and US peers • As a high performing CEO, who has been in situ for nine years, the Remuneration Committee is cognizant of ensuring his remuneration remains competitive and aligned with the delivery of strategy. • The PGIP is the sole long-term incentive plan for years 2021-2024. Recognizing that in the event of the achievement of stretching performance targets, pay-outs would be above similar rates competitive against UK comparators, all elements of pay remains restrained in comparison to US peers The Remuneration Committee at Abcam has consistently ensured pay outcomes reflect performance while setting remuneration at competitive, market rates relative to UK and US peers

Investor Presentation | June 2023 All Decisions Guided by Alignment with... Strategy Our remuneration framework is designed to be fundamentally aligned with achievement of our 2024 goals Shareholders Our remuneration framework was, and continues to be, designed in collaboration with shareholders, with an emphasis on long-term performance and equity People ~150 employees participate in the PGIP, while all employees participate in an employee plan, with over 90% of our global employees becoming shareholders on the vesting of our AbShare scheme (an all-employee share plan) Following the conclusion of the PGIP in 2024, the Remuneration Committee will again consult with shareholders on how best to incentivise senior employees to drive the business forward through its next phase

SECTION 5 Progress happens together Jonathan Milner’s Demands Are Not in the Interest of All Shareholders

Investor Presentation | June 2023 Abcam Attempted in Vain to Work Constructively with Jonathan Milner Date Key Events • Jonathan Milner met with the Chairman, CEO, and certain members of the company’s management team, and formally requested to be appointed as Non-Executive Director • Jonathan Milner left the meeting abruptly when it was explained that the 28 April Company would need to follow its proper governance procedures • Abcam offered Jonathan Milner the opportunity to meet with the Non- Executive Directors (NED) to properly and duly consider Jonathan Milner’s request to be appointed to the Board • Each of the current Non-Executive Directors, who are based across the UK, US 10 Days and China, made themselves available to meet with Jonathan Milner as part of Following the Board’s process to properly and duly consider the appointment of a new 28 April director to the Board • Jonathan Milner filed a Schedule 13D notifying his intention to become more actively involved in the affairs of Abcam and engage regarding its governance, 1 May performance and direction • The Board resolved that it would continue to engage constructively with Jonathan Milner • Jonathan Milner was given a tour of the Company’s facility in Waltham by the 4 May CEO • Jonathan Milner’s legal counsel requested to allow him to convene an EGM 11 May without converting his ADSs to Ordinary Shares as required by the Deposit Agreement Date Key Events • The Board unanimously resolved to proceed with the appointment of Jonathan Milner as NED subject to and conditional on reaching agreement on a customary form of settlement agreement 17 May • Jonathan Milner immediately rejected the offer, publicly announcing that he was taking steps to call an EGM and asked to be appointed Executive Chairman, before hearing a response from the Company • NED call with Jonathan Milner where offer to appoint him as NED was reiterated • It was agreed that Abcam would send a summary of the proposed terms of his 23 May appointment to the Board, including the proposed settlement agreement, which would have been broadly consistent with those put in place when Jonathan Milner was previously on the Board • The Company sent Jonathan Milner an outline of the proposed terms on which 24 May he would be appointed to Board as an NED • Call between Jonathan Milner and 2 NEDs during which he rejected the proposed terms and reiterated that he would seek to convene an EGM if he 25 May wasn’t appointed Executive Chairman • He made clear that his return was contingent upon the Chairman stepping down and CEO reporting to Jonathan Milner as Executive Chairman • Jonathan Milner delivered a valid statutory request requiring the Board to call an EGM to consider resolutions to appoint him as Executive Chairman and to 30 May remove Peter Allen, Michael Baldock, and Sally Crawford from Abcam’s Board of Directors Abcam has been actively engaged with Jonathan Milner and offered amicable solutions in the best interests of all its shareholders and other stakeholders that were rejected by Jonathan Milner

Investor Presentation | June 2023 Nomination Committee Conducted a Robust and Fair Process to Consider Jonathan Milner As a Candidate, But Jonathan Milner’s Demands Only Escalated • The Board has made every effort to engage constructively since Jonathan Milner began agitating for change less than three weeks before our recent AGM • After due process, he was invited to join the Board as a Non-Executive Director, subject to signing a settlement agreement consistent with his status as a significant shareholder joining the Board, which was entirely customary and in-line with market practice • He immediately rejected the offer, and requested to be named Executive Chairman replacing the current Chairman • The Board continued to meet with him in good faith to seek a resolution that was in the best interest of all shareholders • However, considering recent events and the unnecessary campaign led by Jonathan Milner, the Board is recommending that shareholders vote against both his appointment on the Board and his appointment as an Executive Chairman – Jonathan Milner’s “plan” for value creation is, in reality, not a plan at all. He has promised to review various items and then formulate a plan – this should be alarming to shareholders and only underscores how far-removed from the Company Jonathan Milner has become – Chairman Peter Allen’s diverse experience on public Boards and independence is invaluable in his role as Chairman. He is the best person to lead the Board in overseeing management and maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance – CEO Alan Hirzel transformed Abcam into one of the top life sciences firms and at the recent AGM the resolution to re-appoint him to the Board was approved by 99.9% of votes cast. Electing Jonathan Milner as Executive Chairman would undermine Alan’s ability to execute on Abcam’s strategy and meet shareholders’ expectations – An Executive Chairman would be contrary to governance best practices (including the UK Corporate Governance Code, and the Board adheres to best practices for the protection and benefit of all shareholders) – Jonathan Milner has made it clear he has no interest in a Non-Executive Director position and is focused on controlling the executive function of the Company and becoming de facto CEO – Jonathan Milner has engineered this dispute at great cost to the Company. He has not engaged in good faith discussions with the Company about joining the Board or any settlement

Investor Presentation | June 2023 Jonathan Milner Has Continuously Sought Special Treatment from Abcam, Contrary to Governance Best Practices Jonathan Milner’s unreasonable demands… • Alleging “Erosion of Shareholder Rights” if the Company required him to convert ADS holdings to call a meeting • Seeking inside information about Abcam’s performance • Refusing to agree to or even negotiate a standard settlement agreement …are not in line with Abcam’s high standards of corporate governance and suggest that Jonathan Milner’s campaign is only in his own interest • Abcam is subject to the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, which applies to all UK companies, and the Deposit Agreement that affords only “members” the right to call a meeting • Abcam’s Deposit Agreement follows customary market terms • An information leak could be highly damaging to Abcam • Confidential information is appropriately protected • Abcam is committed to its maintaining equality of information to all shareholders • Standard practice for a director with sizeable holding and who has made public statements and demands • Customary initial terms were proposed by Abcam at Jonathan Milner’s request, but Jonathan Milner rejected these without negotiation or counterproposal Jonathan Milner is not independent and has demonstrated multiple times that he is unwilling and incapable of representing the interests of all of Abcam’s stakeholders’ interests

Investor Presentation | June 2023 Jonathan Milner’s Demands of Shareholders Are Unreasonable and Jeopardize Abcam’s Momentum at an Unnecessary Cost Jonathan Milner’s unreasonable proposals… • Removing highly qualified Directors • Fighting to take effective management control after deliberately abandoning the position • Asking Abcam to reimburse his expenses …are not in the interests of Shareholders and would only cause risk and uncertainty • Removing directors without proposing any alternative candidates to be put to shareholders at the EGM, other than himself • Removing directors with valuable experience, skillsets and successful track records of delivering value to all shareholders and other stakeholders • Shift in leadership would jeopardize Abcam’s recent momentum and its basic day-to-day operations • Clear that he only wants be Executive Chairman and not “just” a Director • Jonathan Milner’s demands are aimed at seizing control of management and would undermine the role of the CEO • No serious, substantive plan to improve Abcam’s future value • Not involved in Abcam for nearly a decade and never led a business with this level of complexity or scale • Could have used AGM process to avoid unnecessary costs and give shareholders more time to consider his proposal • Instead, Jonathan Milner chose to request a distracting EGM costing him over $600k in Depositary fees alone and at least $2.5m in overall costs which he is asking shareholders to pay • Excessive and unnecessary fees for all the advisors he hired

Investor Presentation | June 2023 Jonathan Milner Has No Concrete Plan For Abcam, Only Empty Promises I will lead a review of the way the Company communicates with its shareholders and other financial Stakeholders […]” If elected, I will lead a review into the financial reporting function of Abcam […]” If elected, I will lead a thorough review of the ERP system […]” If elected, I intend to focus on prudent capital allocation […]” Jonathan Milner has never presented a serious & concrete plan to Abcam. In fact, he has no plan at all • Jonathan Milner’s own communications reveal that his “plan” is nothing more than vague platitudes, buzzwords and promises to review various items • It is not surprising that Jonathan Milner is not able to articulate a substantive plan as it underscores once again how far-removed and detached he has become • It is an alarming situation for the future of Abcam and its stakeholders Jonathan Milner is endangering the future of Abcam and its stakeholders as he has no concrete and serious plan for the Company

Conclusion

Investor Presentation | June 2023
Conclusion
Strategic Decisions Taken Since 2014 Critical to Growth Trajectory Over Last Decade
Transition away from being a value-added broker of third-party antibodies towards being an innovation-oriented, quality-focused partner to life science researchers in order to drive profitable, sustained market share gains
Abcam 1.0 strategy of “Amazon of Antibodies” vs. Abcam 2.0, “Protein Sciences Reagent Innovator, Accelerating Discovery to Clinic”
Broadened focus and TAM beyond antibodies to unlock opportunities in immunoassays, cellular and biochemical assays and cytokines
Replacing “size of catalogue” culture with “customer led innovation” approach to pursue market differentiation and increased revenue duration
Upgrade to every aspect of the business to transition business model and support growth
Systematic Execution of 5yr Investment Plan As Outlined in 2019 Capital Markets Day
Accelerated transition to in-house products setting Abcam up for sustained top-line growth and margin expansion
Introduced products, sales, business development capabilities and partnerships to penetrate biopharma
~120MM investment in data, architecture and ERP software to establish a digital platform for growth
Expanded and upgraded automation, facilities and organization capabilities to serve growth
Added tuck-in acquisitions to strengthen innovation capabilities and enhance margins
Created significant value for all stakeholders with +27% TSR over the last 12 months and +178% TSR since the start of Alan Hirzel’s tenure as CEO (Sep-2014) until year end 2019 (before the rollout of Abcam’s five-year strategic plan)
Jonathan Milner’s
Campaign is
Unnecessary and Not in the Best Interest of Shareholders
Abcam has a long history of shareholder engagement and strong governance
Despite choosing not to voice his concerns at the May 2023 AGM, the Board conducted an accelerated review of Jonathan Milner’s request to re-join the Board
Jonathan Milner ultimately abandoned Abcam’s good-faith offer of joining as a non-executive Director, and demanded to be named Executive Chair (introducing significant risk and uncertainty to our strategy and for our shareholders)
While an accomplished scientist and small company entrepreneur, Jonathan Milner lacks the skills required to lead the scale of operations of Abcam today
Jonathan Milner has not been operationally involved in Abcam for nearly a decade, which explains why he has been unable to articulate a specific, substantiative plan
Electing Jonathan Milner would impede Abcam’s long-term growth and value creation, and be disruptive to progress already underway
Jonathan Milner lacks the capabilities to Chair the strategic shift that Alan Hirzel and the Board have implemented to drive Abcam’s transformation into an innovative in-house portfolio of products, with highly effective quality controls and significantly improved employee engagement
Jonathan Milner is attempting to take control of Abcam and simultaneously serve as its de facto CEO without explaining what new plan he is seeking to deploy
Jonathan Milner has thus far failed to articulate what appointing him to an Executive Chairman role would mean in practice
He has promised to review various items and then formulate a plan - this should be alarming to shareholders and underscores how far-removed from Abcam Jonathan Milner has become
Peter Allen, Michael Baldock, and Sally Crawford are playing a vital role at Abcam
The overwhelming support for these Directors in the recent AGM vote is testament to their critical work and wealth of experience
