Item 2.04 Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

As previously announced, on February 27, 2023, Wejo Group Limited (the “Company”) entered into that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Second Lien SPA”) with Esousa Holdings, LLC (the “Second Lien Noteholder”). Under the Second Lien SPA, for a purchase price of $3,500,000, the Company issued and sold to the Second Lien Noteholder a secured, non-convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $3,684,210 (as amended, the “Second Lien Note”). As also previously announced, on March 28, 2023 and April 17, 2023, the Company and the Second Lien Noteholder entered into two amendments to the Second Lien Note, which, among other things, extended the maturity date under the Second Lien Notes to May 1, 2023, subject to certain extension fees and interim payments of principal.

On May 3, 2023, the Company received two separate written notices from the Second Lien Noteholder that (i)(a) the Company failed to make payment of principal, interest and extension fees when due, and (b) declaring an event of default under the Second Lien Note, and (ii) demanding immediate payment of all principal, interest and extension fees thereunder. The Company does not believe the Second Lien Noteholder complied with its notice and consent obligations under the Second Lien Note and that certain Deed of Priority, dated as of February 27, 2023, among Wejo Limited, Wejo Bermuda Limited, General Motors Holdings LLC (the “First Lien Noteholder”), and GLAS Americas LLC, as Security Agent (the “Deed of Priority”) in order to demand immediate payment of all obligations under the Second Lien Note. Nevertheless, the Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K out of an abundance of caution if either of the May 3, 2023 notices was indeed an effective Demand Notice (as defined in the Second Lien Note), which could cause an acceleration of the Company’s obligations to the First Lien Noteholder under that certain Secured Convertible Note issued by the Company to the First Lien Noteholder on December 16, 2022 (the “First Lien Note”). If the Demand Notice was effective, the Company’s obligations under the First Lien Notes in the amount of approximately $10.2 million would accelerate. Notably, the First Lien Noteholder has not declared a default under the First Lien Note as a result thereof nor has it sought to accelerate the Company’s obligations under the First Lien Notes. The Company intends to satisfy its remaining obligations to the Second Lien Noteholder after it closes one of the bridge financing transactions currently in process.

The foregoing description of the terms of the First Lien Note, Second Lien SPA, and Second Lien Note are not completed and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of such documents filed as Exhibits 10.8, 10.12 and 10.13, respectively, to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 4, 2023 and are incorporated by reference herein.

10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC April 3, 2023, and other documents filed or to be filed by the Company with the SEC. There may be additional risks that the Company does not presently know or that it currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Readers are urged to

consider these factors carefully in evaluating these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in their expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any statement is based, except as required by law, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. The Company does not give any

assurance that it will achieve its expectations.
