CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We refer to IBEX Limited as the “Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our” in this Proxy Statement.

Board of Directors

Our Bye-laws provide that our Board of Directors (the “Board”) shall consist of no less than one and no more than ten directors, with such number to be determined at each annual general meeting. The size of our Board is currently set at eight directors. Our Board currently consists of the following directors:


Mohammed Khaishgi Daniella Ballou-Aares Fiona Beck Robert Dechant			John Jones Shuja Keen Gerard Kleisterlee Patrick McGinnis

Our directors generally hold office for such terms as our shareholders may determine or, in the absence of such determination, until the next annual general meeting or until their successors are elected or appointed or their office is otherwise vacated.

On October 24, 2024, Mr. John Leone announced his resignation from the Board, with effect from October 24, 2024. Also on October 24, 2024, Mr. Kleisterlee announced his retirement from the Board to be effective as of December 5, 2024. Mr. Leone's and Mr. Kleisterlee's decisions to resign from the Board were not related to any disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies, or practices.

In accordance with our Bye-laws, the Board appointed Ms. Beck to fill Mr. Leone's vacancy as an elected director on October 24, 2024. The Resource Group International Limited ("TRGI") provided notice of (i) the appointment of Mr. Patrick McGinnis to the Board, effective as of October 24, 2024, to replace Ms. Beck as its appointed director and (ii) its appointment of Mr. Mingzhe (JJ) Zhuang to the Board to replace Mr. Kleisterlee upon his retirement, effective as of December 5, 2024, pursuant to our Bye-laws and as described below. Ms. Ballou-Aares, and Messrs. Dechant and Jones were previously appointed to our Board by TRGI. The TRGI appointed directors are not required to be re-elected at each annual general meeting of the Company, but shall continue in office until removed by TRGI, as the appointing shareholder.

Status as a Controlled Company

Nasdaq listing rules define a controlled company as a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of the directors is held by an individual, group, or another company. Our Bye-laws provide that any shareholder holding 50% or more of the nominal value of our voting shares will have the right to appoint five directors to our Board. If there is no such 50% holder, then any shareholder holding 25% or more of the nominal value of our voting shares (first in time as compared to any other 25% shareholder) will have the right to appoint five directors to our Board. TRGI, our largest shareholder, beneficially owns approximately 32% of our outstanding common shares as of October 10, 2024. As the first-in-time shareholder of 25% or more of the nominal value of our voting shares, TRGI has the right to appoint five of the directors on our Board. Our Board is currently set at eight members. We therefore qualify as a “controlled company.”

As a result, we are able to take advantage of certain exemptions from the Nasdaq listing rules for as long as we continue to qualify as a “controlled company.” Specifically, a controlled company is not required to have the following, among others: (i) a board of directors comprised of a majority of independent directors; (ii) executive officer compensation determined by a majority of independent directors or a compensation committee comprised of only independent directors; or (iii) director nominees selected, or recommended for the Board’s selection, either by a majority of the independent directors or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors. We currently rely on these exemptions. Accordingly, the Company’s shareholders do not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. If at any time we cease to be a controlled company and we are still listed on the Nasdaq exchange, we will take the

appropriate actions to comply with applicable SEC rules and regulations and Nasdaq listing rules, including appointing a majority of independent directors to our Board and creating a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors, subject to permitted “phase-in” periods.

Director Independence

Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of the directors in light of the Nasdaq listing standards and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning such director’s background, employment, and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board determined that Mses. Ballou-Aares and Beck and Messrs. Kleisterlee, Leone, McGinnis and Zhuang are “independent directors” under the listing standards of Nasdaq. This represents four of our eight current directors, and will represent four of our eight directors after the Annual Meeting. In making these determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances that our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our share capital by each non-employee director and the transactions involving them. In particular, the Board reviewed and considered Mr. Leone's service on the investment committee of PineBridge GEM II G.P., L.P. ("GEM II GP"), which is the 100% owner of the sole general partner of PineBridge Global Emerging Markets Partners II, L.P., one of our greater than 10% shareholders. Mr. Leone's serves as a director on the Board for TRGI. Mr. Leone is also the managing partner and founder of ForeVest Capital Partners, an investment firm ("ForeVest") that is a sub-advisor to certain private equity funds sponsored by PineBridge Investments LLC. The Board also considered Mr. McGinnis' service on the board of directors of TRGI.

In addition, the Board determined that each member of the Audit Committee satisfies the applicable independence requirements under the SEC rules and the Nasdaq listing standards for such members.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board does not have a policy on whether the role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) should be separate or combined. Mr. Mohammed Khaishgi has served as the Chairman of the Board since September 2017 and previously served as our CEO. Based on his experience and involvement with the Company since its inception, the Board has determined that Mr. Khaishgi should serve as Chairman, and Mr. Robert Dechant should serve as CEO, as this structure enables our Chairperson to maintain responsibility for coordinating board activities, including the scheduling of meetings and executive sessions of the non-employee directors and managing the relevant agenda items in each case (in consultation with the CEO as appropriate), and our CEO to focus on leading and managing the Company. If the Board determines that it is preferable to combine the position of Chairperson and CEO, the Board intends to designate an independent director to serve as lead independent director. Mr. Khaishgi currently serves as the chairman and CEO of TRGI.

Director Nominations

In accordance with its Charter, the Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for developing and recommending to the Board criteria for selecting qualified director candidates, including desired board skills, experience, and attributes, which will inform the committee’s annual evaluation of the composition of the Board to assess the whether the mix of skills, experience, characteristics and other criteria are currently represented on the Board and those that may be needed in the future. The Board and the Nominating and Governance Committee also actively seek to achieve a diversity of occupational and personal backgrounds on the Board.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews the qualifications of director candidates and incumbent directors in light of the criteria approved by Board, and any shareholder recommendations for director are evaluated in the same manner as other candidates considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee. Shareholders that wish to nominate a director for election to our Board should follow the procedures described under the “Submission of Proposals for the 2025 Annual Meeting” heading.

Board Diversity

The following chart sets forth the board diversity information required by Nasdaq for all of our current directors:

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In accordance with Section 84 of the Companies Act and the Company's Bye-law 68, our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 will be presented at the Annual Meeting. These financial statements have been approved by our Board. There is no requirement under Bermuda law that these financial statements be approved by shareholders, and no such approval will be sought at the Annual Meeting.

PROPOSAL ONE — SET NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

The current maximum number of directors was set at eight by the shareholders at the annual general meeting of shareholders held on December 6, 2023. Bye-law 37 requires the maximum number of directors to be set by the shareholders at each annual general meeting. Accordingly, the Board proposed to set the maximum number of directors as eight at the Annual Meeting until the next annual general meeting. As described elsewhere, five of the Board positions are appointed by TRGI and these directors are not required to be re-elected at each annual general meeting of the Company, but shall continue in office until removed by TRGI, as the appointing shareholder, or as otherwise set forth in our Bye-laws. The Board has nominated three directors for the remaining positions, as further described below in Proposal Two.

Our Board recommends a vote “FOR” the proposal to set the maximum number of directors as eight.

PROPOSAL TWO — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board nominated three directors for election at the Company’s Annual Meeting to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until their successors have been elected and qualified.

Each of the nominees has consented to serve as a director, if elected, and all of the nominees are currently directors. Messrs. Keen and Khaishgi were elected by shareholders at the annual general meeting of shareholders held on December 6, 2023. Ms. Beck was appointed as an elected director by the Board on October 24, 2024. We have no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unavailable or, if elected, will decline to serve.

In accordance with Section 89 of the Companies Act, our shareholders have the authority to appoint our auditors and independent registered public accounting firm and to authorize the Audit Committee, acting on behalf of the Board, to fix the remuneration of such firm. At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to appoint Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as our auditor and independent registered public accounting firm and authorize the Audit Committee to fix the remuneration of Deloitte for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

Deloitte has served as the Company’s auditor and independent registered public accounting firm since October 28, 2021. Representatives of Deloitte are not expected to be physically present at the Annual Meeting. However, they will be available online during the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they wish and be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

We are asking shareholders to ratify the Audit Committee’s selection of Deloitte as our auditor and independent registered public accounting firm and authorize the Audit Committee to fix the remuneration of Deloitte for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. In the event that shareholders do not re-appoint Deloitte at the Annual Meeting, Deloitte shall hold office until a successor is appointed in accordance with Bermuda law and the Bye-laws.

Pre-Approval Policy

The Audit Committee has adopted an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval policy, under which the Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the services that are expected to be provided by the outside auditor. Any engagement to provide audit or non-audit services that has not been pre-approved through that process must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the outside auditor.

Elements of the Company’s Executive Compensation Program

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the compensation for each named executive officer generally consisted of a base salary, performance-based bonus, a Fast Track bonus (as further described below), and standard employee benefits. These elements (and the amounts of compensation and benefits under each element) were selected because the Company believes they are necessary to help attract and retain executive talent which is fundamental to its success. Below is a more detailed summary of the current executive compensation program as it relates to the Company's named executive officers.

Base Salary

The named executive officers receive a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to the Company. The base salary payable to each named executive officer is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role, and responsibilities. Each named executive officer’s initial base salary was provided in his or her employment agreement, and the base salaries of the Company's executives are reviewed and, if appropriate, adjusted on an annual basis.

The actual base salary paid to each named executive officer for fiscal 2024 is set forth above in the Summary Compensation Table in the column entitled “Salary.”

2024 Bonuses

The Company maintains a cash-based incentive compensation program in which certain of its employees, including its named executive officers, are eligible to receive bonuses based on business and performance goals. Such awards are designed to incentivize the named executive officers with a variable level of compensation that is based on performance measures established by the Compensation Committee that are tied to predefined business and personal goals and objectives.

In our fiscal year 2024, Messrs. Dechant, Afdahl, and Dawson and Ms. Casteel were eligible to earn annual cash bonuses each targeted at 100% of their respective base salaries. Mr. Greenwald was eligible to earn an annual cash bonus targeted at 50% of his base salary. Each named executive officer was eligible to earn his or her bonus based on the attainment of business goals and objectives set and approved by the Compensation Committee.

Additionally, following the conclusion of the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Compensation Committee approved one-time cash bonuses for the members of the Company's executive leadership team, including each of the named executive officers, that were intended to reward executives for the Company's strong operational results during such quarter and to incentivize continued performance (the "Fast Track Bonuses"). For the named executive officers, the amounts of the Fast Track Bonuses were (i) Mr. Dechant, $195,777, (ii) Mr. Afdahl, $130,518, (iii) Ms. Casteel, $114,203, and (iv) Mr. Dawson, $114,203. As Mr. Greenwald joined the company in August, 2024, he was not considered eligible for the Fast Track Bonuses.

Equity Compensation

The Company maintains the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan, referred to as the 2020 Plan, and the 2018 Restricted Share Plan, referred to as the 2018 Plan, in order to facilitate the grant of equity incentives to directors, employees (including the named executive officers), consultants and other service providers of the Company and its affiliates to obtain and retain the services of these individuals, which is essential to its long-term success.

Pursuant to the 2020 Plan, (1) Mr. Dechant was granted awards of: (i) 50,000 options, granted on June 30, 2020 with an exercise price of $12.75/share, all of which were fully vested as of June 30, 2023, (ii) 45,027 options, granted on August 7, 2020 with an exercise price of $19/share, all of which were fully vested as of August 31, 2022, and (iii)

20,000 options, granted on December 14, 2020, subject to performance conditions that have not yet been achieved; (2) Mr. Afdahl was granted awards of: (i) 17,500 options, granted on June 30, 2020 with an exercise price of $12.75/share, all of which were fully vested as of June 30, 2023, and (ii) 10,819 options, granted on August 7, 2020 with an exercise price of $19/share, all of which were fully vested as of August 31, 2022; (3) Ms. Casteel was granted awards of: (i) 10,000 options, granted on June 30, 2020 with an exercise price of $12.75/share, all of which were fully vested as of June 30, 2023, and (ii) 6,574 options, granted on August 7, 2020 with an exercise price of $19/share, all of which were fully vested as of August 31, 2022; (4) Mr. Dawson was granted awards of: (i) 10,000 options, granted June 30, 2020 with an exercise price of $12.75/share, all of which were fully vested as of June 30, 2023, and (ii) 8,114 options, granted on August 7, 2020 with an exercise price of $19/share, all of which were fully vested as of August 31, 2022; and (5) Mr. Greenwald was granted awards of: 30,000 restricted stock units, granted December 4, 2023, with 25% vesting annually starting on Septemer 18, 2024.

Mssrs. Dechant, Afdahl and Dawson and Ms. Casteel have also previously received restricted stock awards under the 2018 Plan, all of which have since fully vested.

On April 20, 2022, the Company made grants of performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) under the 2020 Plan to certain employees, including the NEOs. Fifty percent (50%) of these PSUs will become eligible to vest upon the first such time that the Company achieves revenue in respect of any fiscal year of $600 million or greater (the “Revenue PSUs”). One-third of the Revenue PSUs vest immediately upon the revenue goal being met, and the remaining two-thirds vest in equal annual installments over the next two years, subject to continued employment or service with the Company. The other fifty percent (50%) of these PSUs will become eligible to vest upon the first such time that the Company achieves adjusted EBITDA in respect of any fiscal year of $74 million or greater (the “EBITDA PSUs”). One-third of the EBITDA PSUs vest immediately upon the adjusted EBITDA goal being met, and the remaining two-thirds vest in equal annual installments over the next two years, subject to continued employment or service with the Company. As permitted under the 2020 Plan, the adjusted EBITDA goal was reduced (from $100 million to $74 million) to account for the Company's conversion as of July 1, 2023 from International Financial Reporting Standards to U.S. GAAP. On May 31, 2024, Mr. Greenwald received a grant of PSUs subject to substantially similar performance vesting conditions, except that Mr. Greenwald’s EBITDA PSUs vest: (i) 1/3 upon achievement of a $74 million adjusted EBITDA goal, (ii) 1/3 upon achievement of an $83 million adjusted EBITDA goal, and (iii) following the achievement of second performance trigger, 1/3 subject to continued employment or service with the Company for one additional year.

Other Elements of Compensation

Retirement Plans

The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement savings plan for its employees in the United States, including the named executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. The named executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees, including matching contributions equal to 100% of the first 3% of applicable employee contributions and 50% of the next 2% of such contributions. The Company does not maintain any defined benefit pension plans or nonqualified deferred compensation plans.

Employee Benefits and Perquisites

All of our full-time employees in the United States, including the named executive officers, are eligible to participate in health and welfare plans, including medical, dental and vision benefits, medical and dependent care flexible spending and health savings accounts, short-term and long-term disability insurance and life insurance.

We believe the benefits described above are necessary and appropriate to provide a competitive compensation package to our employees, including the named executive officers.

Dechant Employment Agreement

On April 2, 2015, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Dechant (the “Dechant Employment Agreement”), providing for his employment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Dechant Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Dechant is entitled to an annual base salary, which for fiscal year 2024 was $600,000, and eligibility for an annual performance bonus based on the Company’s achievement of targets and milestones as determined by the Board.

Pursuant to the Dechant Employment Agreement, upon the termination of Mr. Dechant’s employment by the Company without “Cause” or by Mr. Dechant for “Good Reason”, Mr. Dechant will be entitled, in addition to any accrued amounts and subject to his execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company, to (i) twelve months’ salary continuation, and (ii) for the same period of time, continued participation by Mr. Dechant and his dependents in the Company’s health and welfare benefit plans at active employee rates.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related Party Transaction Policies and Procedures

We have written policies and procedures whereby our Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving transactions between us or any of our subsidiaries and any related person (defined in the policy as to include any person who is or was (since the beginning of our last fiscal year) an executive officer, director or director nominee, a greater than 5% beneficial owner of the Company's common shares, an immediate family member of either of the foregoing or a firm, corporation or other entity at which a person described in the foregoing serves as an officer or director or which he/she is a partner or principal or similar position or has a 5% of greater beneficial ownership interest), in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which one more of such related persons has a direct or indirect material interest. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related party transaction, the Audit Committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, the material terms of the transaction, the nature of the related party's interest in the transaction, the significance of the transaction to the related party and to the Company, the nature of the related party's relationship with the Company and whether the transaction would likely impair the judgment of a director of officer to act in the best interest of the Company.

In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires that all of our employees and directors inform us of any material transaction or relationship that comes to their attention that could reasonably be expected to create a conflict of interest. Further, at least annually, each director and executive officer will complete a detailed questionnaire that asks questions about any business relationship that may give rise to a conflict of interest and all transactions in which we are involved and in which the executive officer, a director or a related person has a direct or indirect material interest.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

This proxy statement is being provided to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board for use at the Annual Meeting to be held on December 5, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (5:00 p.m. Atlantic Time), or at any adjournments or postponements thereof.

Where is the Annual Meeting being held?

The Board has determined that the Annual Meeting should be held online this year via live audio webcast in order to permit shareholders from any location with access to the Internet to participate. This format also reduces the environmental impact of the Annual Meeting. The Company has endeavored to provide shareholders with the same rights and opportunities for participation in the Annual Meeting online as an in-person meeting.

How can I participate in and vote at the Annual Meeting Online?

Shareholders of record as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 10, 2024, the record date, are entitled to participate in and vote at the Annual Meeting. To participate in the Annual Meeting, including to vote and ask questions, shareholders of record should go to the Annual Meeting website at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/IBEX2024, enter the 16-digit control number found on your proxy card and follow the instructions on the website.

If your shares are held in street name and your voting instruction form indicates that you may vote those shares through the http://www.proxyvote.com website, then you may access, participate in, and vote at the Annual Meeting

with the 16-digit access code indicated on that voting instruction form. Otherwise, shareholders who hold their shares in street name should contact their bank, broker or other nominee (preferably at least 5 days before the Annual Meeting) and obtain a “legal proxy” in order to be able to attend, participate in, or vote at the Annual Meeting.

The Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (5:00 p.m. Atlantic Time) on December 5, 2024. Online check-in will begin at approximately 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time (4:30 p.m. Atlantic Time), and we encourage you to provide sufficient time before the Annual Meeting begins to check-in. Technicians will be available to assist you with any difficulties you may have accessing the Annual Meeting. We will make a replay of the Annual Meeting available on our Investor Relations website until the next annual meeting.

Shareholders may submit questions before and during the Annual Meeting at the meeting website. We plan to answer as many questions as possible during the time permitted. A list of answers to appropriate investor questions received before and during the Annual Meeting will be available on the Investor Relations page of our website as soon as practicable after the Annual Meeting. More information regarding the question and answer process, including the number and types of questions permitted, the time allotted for questions, and how questions will be recognized, answered, and disclosed, will be available in the meeting rules of conduct, which will be posted on the Annual Meeting website before and during the meeting.

What proposals will be addressed at the Annual Meeting?

Shareholders will be asked to consider the following proposals at the Annual Meeting:

Proposal 1 - To vote to set the number of directors of the Company at a maximum of eight directors;

We will also consider any other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting.

How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote?

Our Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” Proposals 1 and 3 and “FOR” each director nominee.

Who may vote at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders?

Shareholders who owned shares of the Company’s common shares, par value $0.000111650536 per share, as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 10, 2024 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the record date, there were 16,765,381 shares of our common shares issued and outstanding.

How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

In order for us to conduct the Annual Meeting, a quorum must be present or represented by proxy. Our Bye-laws provide that, subject to the rules of Nasdaq, the quorum required for a general meeting of shareholders is one or more shareholders present in person or by proxy and representing in excess of 25% of the total issued voting shares in the Company throughout the meeting. Nasdaq listing rules, however, will require the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders representing at least 33 1/3% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common voting stock to constitute a quorum.

How many votes do I have?

Each share of common shares is entitled to one vote on each matter that comes before the Annual Meeting.

What is the difference between a shareholder of record and a beneficial owner of shares held in street name?

Shareholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares, and the proxy materials were sent directly to you by the Company. The Company’s transfer agent and registrar is Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge").

Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the proxy materials were forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct that organization on how to vote the shares held in your account. Those instructions are typically contained in a “voter instruction form.”

What is the proxy card?

The proxy card enables you to appoint Robert Dechant, our Chief Executive Officer, and Christy O’Connor, our Chief Legal Officer and Assistant Secretary, as your representatives at the Annual Meeting. By completing and returning the proxy card, you are authorizing Mr. Dechant and Ms. O’Connor to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, it is strongly recommended that you complete and return your proxy card before the Annual Meeting date in case your plans change. If a proposal comes up for vote at the Annual Meeting that is not on the proxy card, the proxies will vote your shares, under your proxy, according to their best judgment.

If I am a shareholder of record of the Company’s shares, how do I vote?

Before the Annual Meeting, you may vote:

● By mail, by completing, signing, and dating your proxy card

● Online at www.proxyvote.com

● By telephone, at 1-800-690-6903

During the Annual Meeting, you may vote online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/IBEX2024.

If I am a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, how do I vote?

Beneficial owners should check their voting instruction form for how to vote in advance of and how to participate in the Annual Meeting.

Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?

If you hold your shares directly in your own name, they will not be voted if you do not provide a proxy. Brokers holding shares must vote according to specific instructions they receive from the beneficial owners of those shares. If brokers do not receive specific instructions, brokers may in some cases vote the shares in their discretion, but are not permitted to vote on certain proposals and may elect not vote on any of the proposals unless you provide voting instructions. Voting your shares will help to ensure that your interests are represented at the Annual Meeting. If you do not provide voting instructions and the broker elects to vote your shares on some but not all matters, it will result in a ‘broker non-vote’ for the matters on which the broker does not vote. Broker non-votes will be considered as present for quorum purposes, but they are not considered as votes cast and will not be counted in determining the outcome of the vote on any of the other proposals.

What vote is required to elect directors?

Directors are elected by the affirmative votes of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

What vote is required to approve Proposals 1 and 3?

Approval of Proposals 1 and 3 requires the affirmative votes of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the vote on these proposals.

Can I change my vote after I have voted?

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. You may vote again by signing and returning a new proxy card or voting instruction form with a later date or by attending the Annual Meeting online and voting. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting online will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote again at the Annual Meeting or specifically request that your prior proxy be revoked by delivering to the Company’s Assistant Secretary at 202 6th Street, Unit 401, Castle Rock, CO 80104 a written notice of revocation prior to the Annual Meeting.

Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee, you must instruct your broker, bank, or other nominee that you wish to change your vote by following the procedures on the voting instruction form provided to you by the broker, bank, or other nominee.

What happens if I do not indicate how to vote my proxy?

If you sign your proxy card without providing further instructions, your shares will be voted “FOR” each of the director nominees and “FOR” each of Proposals 1 and 3.

Where do I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by Broadridge and published in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which the Company will file with the SEC within four business days following the Annual Meeting.

Who bears the cost of soliciting proxies?

The Company will bear the cost of soliciting proxies and will reimburse brokerage firms and others for expenses involved in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners or soliciting their execution. In addition to solicitations by mail, the Company, through its directors and officers, may solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by electronic means. Such directors and officers will not receive any special remuneration for these efforts.

OTHER MATTERS

Other Business

We are not currently aware of any business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting other than the matters discussed in this proxy statement. The form of proxy accompanying this proxy statement confers discretionary authority upon the named proxy holders with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the accompanying Notice with respect to any other matters which may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. If other matters do properly come before the Annual Meeting, or at any such adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting, we expect that shares of our common shares, represented by properly submitted proxies, will be voted by the proxy holders in accordance with the recommendations of our Board.

Submission of Shareholder Proposals for the 2025 Annual Meeting

Rule 14a-8 Proposals. For any proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy for submission to the shareholders at next year’s annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”), it must be submitted in writing and comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. Such proposals must be received by the Company at its offices at 1717 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 825, Washington, D.C. 20006 no later than the close of business (5 p.m. Eastern Time) on June 30, 2025.

Non-Rule 14a-8 Proposals. For any proposal to be considered at the 2025 Annual Meeting or to nominate one or more directors, and the proposal is not intended to be included in the Company’s proxy statement relating to that

meeting, the shareholder must give advance written notice to the Company at its offices at 1717 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 825, Washington, D.C. 20006 by September 13, 2025, as required by SEC Rule 14a-4(c)(1).

Universal Proxy Nominations. To comply with the universal proxy rules, if a shareholder intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees, then our Assistant Secretary must receive proper written notice that sets forth all information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act to the Assistant Secretary at 1717 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 825, Washington, D.C. 20006 by October 6, 2025 (or, if the 2025 Annual Meeting is called for a date that is more than 30 days before or more than 30 days after such anniversary date, then notice must be provided not later than 60 calendar days prior to the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting or the 10th calendar day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting is first made by the Company).

Bermuda Law Proposals. In addition, Section 79 of the Companies Act provides that (i) any number of shareholders representing not less than 5% of the total voting power of the shares eligible to vote at a general meeting of shareholders, or (ii) not less than 100 shareholders may propose any resolution which may properly be moved at the next annual general meeting of shareholders. Upon timely receipt of notice, we shall, at the expense of such shareholder(s), give our other shareholders entitled to receive notice of the next annual general meeting of shareholders notice of such proposed resolution. To be timely, the proposal requiring notice of a resolution must be deposited at our registered office at least six weeks before the next annual general meeting of shareholders. Shareholders satisfying the criteria of Section 79 may also require us to circulate a statement in respect of any matter to come before an annual general meeting of shareholders by notice deposited at our registered office in the manner provided by the Companies Act.

Householding Information

Unless we have received contrary instructions, we may send a single copy of the proxy materials to any household at which two or more shareholders reside. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household, helps to reduce our expenses, and can benefit the environment. However, if shareholders prefer to receive multiple sets of our disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the shareholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another shareholder and together, both of the shareholders would like to receive only a single set of our disclosure documents, the shareholders should follow these instructions: If the shares are registered in the name of the shareholder, the shareholder should contact Christy O’Connor at our offices by sending a written request to 202 6th Street, Unit 401, Castle Rock, CO 80104 or by calling 202-702-4478, to inform us of his or her request; or if a bank, broker, or other nominee holds the shares, the shareholder should contact the bank, broker, or other nominee directly.

Where You Can Find More Information

We file annual and quarterly reports and other reports and information with the SEC. We distribute to our shareholders annual reports containing financial statements audited by our independent registered public accounting firm and, upon request, quarterly reports for the first three quarters of each fiscal year containing unaudited financial information. In addition, the reports and other information are filed through Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (known as “EDGAR”) system and are publicly available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website, located at http://www.sec.gov.

We will provide without charge to you, upon written or oral request, a copy of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, including the financial statements and schedules. Any requests for copies of information, reports or other filings with the SEC should be directed to Christy O’Connor, Assistant Secretary, IBEX Limited, 202 6th Street, Unit 401, Castle Rock, CO 80104.

APPENDIX A

Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that they and other similar measures are widely used by certain investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as supplemental measures of performance and liquidity. We also use these measures internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor our business, as well as evaluate our underlying historical performance, as we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a more helpful depiction of our performance of the business by encompassing only relevant and manageable events, enabling us to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future. The non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are not measurements of our performance, financial condition or liquidity under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit or net income / (loss) or as alternatives to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities for the period, or any other performance measures, derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted earnings per share

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents net income before the effect of the following items: non-recurring expenses (including domestic filer conversion and legal and settlement costs), severance costs, impairment losses, warrant contra revenue, foreign currency gains, share-based compensation expense, gain on sale of subsidiaries, and loss on lease terminations, net of the tax impact of such adjustments. We define adjusted net income margin as adjusted net income divided by revenue. We define adjusted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

We use adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted earnings per share internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor our business, as well as evaluate our underlying historical performance. We believe that adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted earnings per share are meaningful indicators of performance as it reflects what we believe is closer to the actual results of our business performance by removing items that we believe are not reflective of our underlying business. We also believe that adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted earnings per share may be widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as a supplemental measure of performance.

Adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted earnings per share may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Because of these limitations, investors should consider adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted earnings per share in conjunction with other U.S. GAAP financial performance measures, including net income from operations and net income, among others.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income and net income margin to adjusted net income and adjusted net income margin, and diluted earnings per share to adjusted earnings per share for the years presented:


	Year ended June 30,
($000s, except per share amounts)	2024			2023

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin

EBITDA is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents net income before the effect of the following items: interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents EBITDA before the effect of the following items: non-recurring expenses (including domestic filer conversion and legal and settlement costs), severance costs, impairment losses, interest income, warrant contra revenue, foreign currency gains, share-based compensation expense, gain on sale of subsidiaries, and loss on lease terminations. Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

We use EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor our business, as well as evaluate our underlying historical performance. We may use adjusted EBITDA as a vesting trigger in some performance-based restricted stock units. We believe that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are meaningful indicators of the health of our business as they provide additional information to investors about certain non-cash or non-recurring charges that we believe may not continue at the same level in the future or be reflective of our long-term performance. We also believe that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are widely used by investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties as a supplemental measure of performance.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

•although depreciation and amortization expense is a non-cash charge, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

•EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our discretionary use, as they do not reflect: (i) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (ii) debt service requirements; (iii) tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and (iv) other cash costs that may recur in the future;

•other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these and other limitations, investors should consider EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial performance measures, including cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, net income, net income margin, and other financial results.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income and net income margin to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin for the years presented:


	Year ended June 30,
($000s)	2024			2023
Net income	$	33,655		$	31,582
Net income margin	6.6		%	6.0		%

Adjusted EBITDA margin	12.8		%	12.7		%

Free cash flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure that represents net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. While we believe that free cash flow provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our liquidity position in the same manner as our management, our use of free cash flow has limitations as

an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Further, other companies, including companies in our industry, may adjust their cash flows differently, which may reduce the value of free cash flow as a comparative measure. The following table reconciles net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow, for the years presented:


	Year ended June 30,
($000s)	2024		2023
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	35,900	$	41,859
Less: capital expenditures	8,855		18,952
Free cash flow	$	27,045	$	22,907

Net cash

Net cash is a non-GAAP liquidity measure that represents cash and cash equivalents less total debt. We believe that net cash provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our ability to pay off debt. Our use of net cash has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Further, other companies, including companies in our industry, may adjust their cash or debt differently, which may reduce the value of net cash as a comparative measure.

Net cash is calculated below:


($000s)	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	62,720	$	57,429

Debt
Current	$	660	$	413
Non-current	867		600
Total debt	$	1,527	$	1,013
Net cash	$	61,193	$	56,416
