Day 56 Update on Acceptance Levels

1.Introduction

On 7 October 2026, Brave Bison announced the terms and conditions of its increased final* offer comprising of 180 pence in cash, 2.394 new Brave Bison Shares and 1 Bison CVR (which is a contingent value right which may deliver 20 pence in cash) (the “Final Offer”) to acquire the c.72 per cent. of System1’s issued and to be issued share capital not already owned by Brave Bison (the “Offer Shares”). The Final Offer, excluding the Bison CVR, has an implied value of 405 pence per System1 Share based on the implied value set out in the Final Offer Announcement. On 9 October 2026, Brave Bison published the Final Offer Document.

Capitalised terms used in this announcement, unless otherwise defined, have the same meaning as set out in the Final Offer Document.

*The financial terms of the Offer are final and will not be increased, save that Brave Bison reserves the right to increase the financial terms of the Offer where: (i) there is an announcement on or after the Final Offer Announcement Date of an offer or possible offer, including a partial offer for greater than 30 per cent. of System1’s issued share capital, or a firm intention to make an offer for System1 by any third party offeror or potential offeror, including where any such announcement is made by System1; (ii) System1 makes an announcement of the kind referred to in Rule 31.8 of the Takeover Code after Day 39 of the Offer; or (iii) the Panel otherwise provides its consent, which will only be given in wholly exceptional circumstances.

2.Acceptance level update

In accordance with Rule 17 of the Takeover Code, Brave Bison is today providing an update on the level of acceptances received under the Offer.

As at 3.00 p.m. on 22 October 2026, Brave Bison:

had received valid acceptances of the Offer in respect of a total of 1,028,532 System1 Shares (representing approximately 8.10 per cent. of System1’s issued share capital); and
was interested in 3,534,010 System1 Shares (representing approximately 27.85 per cent. of System1’s issued share capital).

Therefore, as at 3.00 p.m. on 22 October 2026, Brave Bison is able to count a total number of 4,562,542 System1 Shares, representing approximately 35.95 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of System1, towards the satisfaction of the Acceptance Condition to the Offer.

The valid acceptances listed in paragraph 2(a) above include 1,008,788 System1 Shares (representing approximately 7.95 per cent. of the issued share capital of System1) which were the subject of an irrevocable undertaking or a letter of intent to accept the Offer.

As described in paragraph 4 below, a further 491,192 System1 Shares are the subject of an irrevocable undertaking or letter of intent to accept the Offer (representing approximately 3.87 per cent. of the issued share capital of System1). Insofar as Brave Bison is aware, these commitments remain outstanding as at 3.00 p.m. on 22 October 2026.

No acceptances have been received from persons acting in concert with Brave Bison.

Save as disclosed in this announcement and the Final Offer Document, none of:

Brave Bison;
the Brave Bison Directors or their respective connected persons;
any person acting in concert with Brave Bison; or
any person who is party to a Note 11 arrangement with Brave Bison or any person acting in concert with Brave Bison,

had any interest in or right to subscribe for any System1 relevant securities, or any short position in respect of System1 relevant securities or (save for any borrowed shares which have been on-lent or sold) had borrowed or lent any System1 relevant securities (including for these purposes any financial collateral arrangements of the kind referred to in Note 4 on Rule 4.6 of the Takeover Code).

3.Action to be taken by System1 Shareholders

System1 Shareholders who have not yet accepted the Offer are urged to do so as soon as possible, but in any event by no later than 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 26 October 2026 in accordance with the following procedures:

The information contained in the Final Offer Document, Original Offer Document, the Increased Offer Document, the Deed Poll and herein is not for release, distribution or publication, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States or any other Restricted Jurisdiction where applicable laws prohibit its release, distribution or publication.

The release, publication or distribution of this announcement, the Original Offer Document, the First Form of Acceptance and Election, the Increased Offer Document, the Second Form of Acceptance and Election, the Final Offer Document, the Final Form of Acceptance and Election and the Deed Poll in, into or from jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom may be restricted by law and therefore any persons who are subject to the law of any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Any failure to comply with such requirements may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the Offer disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such restrictions by any person.

The Final Offer Document, the Original Offer Document, the Increased Offer Document, the Deed Poll and this announcement do not constitute or form part of, and should not be construed as, any public offer under any applicable legislation or an offer to sell or solicitation of any offer to buy any securities or financial instruments or any advice or recommendation with respect to such securities or other financial instruments. In particular, this announcement does not constitute an offer of securities to the public in the United States.

The Final Offer Document, the Original Offer Document, the Increased Offer Document, the Deed Poll and this announcement have been prepared for the purposes of complying with English law and the Takeover Code and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this announcement had been prepared in accordance with the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction outside England.

The availability of the Offer to System1 Shareholders who are not resident in and citizens of the United Kingdom may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located or of which they are citizens. Any such person should read paragraph 16 of Part 1 of the Final Offer Document, paragraph 7 of Part D to Part 2 of the Original Offer Document and: (i) if such person holds System1 Shares in certificated form, Part E to Part 2 of the Original Offer Document; or (ii) if such person holds System1 Shares in uncertificated form, Part F to Part 2 of the Original Offer Document, and in each case inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements. In particular, the ability of persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom to accept the Offer or to execute and deliver the Final Form of Acceptance and Election (or, if already executed and delivered, the First Form of Acceptance and Election or the Second Form of Acceptance and Election) in connection with the Offer, and persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom to receive New Brave Bison Shares and/or Bison CVRs in part consideration pursuant to the terms of the Offer, may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located. Any failure to comply with the applicable restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the combination disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such restrictions by any person.

The Offer is not being, and will not be, made, directly or indirectly, in or into or by the use of mails of, or by any other means (including, without limitation, electronic mail, facsimile transmission, telex, telephone, internet or other forms of electronic communication) of interstate or foreign commerce of, or any facility of a national securities exchange of the United States or, unless determined otherwise by Brave Bison, any other Restricted Jurisdiction, and will not be capable of acceptance by any such use, means or facility or from within the United States or any other Restricted Jurisdiction. Accordingly, copies of this announcement, the Original Offer Document, the First Form of Acceptance and Election, the Increased Offer Document, the Second Form of Acceptance and Election, the Final Offer Document, the Final Form of Acceptance and Election and the Deed Poll and any related documents are not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise distributed, forwarded, transmitted or sent in or into or from the United States or any other Restricted Jurisdiction and persons receiving such documents (including, without limitation, agents, custodians, nominees and trustees) should observe these restrictions and must not mail, or otherwise distribute, forward, transmit or send any such documents in or into or from the United States or any other Restricted Jurisdiction. Doing so may invalidate any purported acceptance of the Offer. Any person (including, without limitation, agents, custodians, nominees and trustees) who would, or otherwise intends to, or who may have a legal or contractual obligation to, forward this announcement, the Original Offer Document, the First Form of Acceptance and Election, the Increased Offer Document, the Second Form of Acceptance and Election, the Final Offer Document, the Final Form of Acceptance and Election or the Deed Poll and any related documents to any jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements of any jurisdiction, seek appropriate advice and read paragraph 16 of the letter from Brave Bison set out in Part 1 of the Final Offer Document and paragraph 7 of Part D to Part 2 to the Original Offer Document before doing so.

The New Brave Bison Shares to be issued pursuant to the Offer (and the Bison CVRs to be issued pursuant to the Final Offer) have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) nor under any of the relevant securities laws of any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States or any other Restricted Jurisdiction.Accordingly, the New Brave Bison Shares and/or the Bison CVRs may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States, or any other Restricted Jurisdiction or to, or for the account or benefit of, any U.S. Person or Restricted Overseas Person, absent registration or an available exemption from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws (in the case of the United States) and any applicable requirements of any other Restricted Jurisdiction. The New Brave Bison Shares and the Bison CVRs are being offered or sold only outside the United States to non-U.S. Persons in offshore transactions in accordance with, the safe harbour from the registration requirements provided by Regulation S.

Notices relating to the United States

Brave Bison is not extending the Offer into the United States. No document relating to the Offer will be posted into the United States.

Neither this announcement, the Original Offer Document, the First Form of Acceptance and Election, the Increased Offer Document, the Second Form of Acceptance and Election, the Final Offer Document, the Final Form of Acceptance and Election or the Deed Poll nor any other document relating to the Offer constitutes an offer of the New Brave Bison Shares or the Bison CVRs to any person with a registered address, or who is resident or located, in the United States or is otherwise a U.S. Person. The New Brave Bison Shares and the Bison CVRs have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered or sold, resold, taken up, transferred, delivered or distributed, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any U.S. Person except in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and in compliance with any applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. The New Brave Bison Shares and the Bison CVRs are being offered or sold only outside the United States to non-U.S. Persons in offshore transactions in accordance with, the safe harbour from the registration requirements provided by Regulation S. System1 Shareholders will be required to acknowledge, warrant, and represent to Brave Bison, together with such other representations that Brave Bison may require in its sole discretion, that it is not a person with a registered address, or resident or located, in the United States or otherwise a U.S. Person to participate in the Offer. Brave Bison will refuse to issue or transfer New Brave Bison Shares and/or Bison CVRs to investors that do not meet the foregoing requirements.

Any person with a registered address, or resident or located, in the United States or is otherwise a U.S. Person will receive, in lieu of New Brave Bison Shares to which they would otherwise be entitled, the net cash proceeds (in sterling) from the sale of such New Brave Bison Shares, as more fully described in paragraph 18.3 of Part 1 to the Final Offer Document.

Any person with a registered address, or resident or located, in the United States or is otherwise a U.S. Person will receive, in lieu of Bison CVRs to which they would otherwise be entitled, the net cash proceeds (in sterling) of any Bison CVR Entitlement (if any), to be more fully described in the Final Offer Document.

The receipt of consideration pursuant to the Offer by a System1 Shareholder may be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes and under applicable US state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws. Each System1 Shareholder is urged to consult his independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of accepting the Offer.

US investors should closely read paragraph 16 of Part 1 of the Final Offer Document, and paragraph 7 of Part D to Part 2 of the Original Offer Document, for further details.

Brave Bison reserves the right to elect, with the consent of the Panel (where necessary), to implement the Offer by way of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement in accordance with Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006. A scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer rules under the U.S. Exchange Act and therefore would be subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in the UK to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure requirements of the US tender offer rules. If the Offer is implemented by way of a scheme of arrangement, the New Brave Bison Shares and the Bison CVRs would be expected to be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act. Section 3(a)(10) exempts securities issued in exchange for one or more outstanding securities from the general requirements of registration where the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange of such securities have been approved by a court, after a hearing on the fairness of the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange at which all persons to whom such securities will be issued have the right to appear and be heard. The Court would hold a hearing on the Scheme’s fairness to System1 Shareholders, at which hearing all such shareholders would be entitled to attend in person or through counsel. If the Offer is implemented by way of the Scheme, a person who receives New Brave Bison Shares and, if applicable, Bison CVRs pursuant to the Scheme and who is an affiliate of Brave Bison may not resell such securities without registration under the U.S. Securities Act or pursuant to the applicable resale provisions of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act or another applicable exemption from registration or in a transaction not subject to registration (including a transaction that satisfies the applicable requirements of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act). Whether a person is an affiliate of a company for the purposes of the U.S. Securities Act depends on the circumstances, but affiliates can include certain officers, directors and significant shareholders. Persons who believe that they may be affiliates of Brave Bison should consult their own legal advisers prior to any sale of securities received pursuant to the Scheme.

It may be difficult for shareholders in the United States to enforce certain rights and claims arising in connection with the Offer under US federal securities laws since Brave Bison and System1 are located outside the United States, and their officers and most of their directors reside outside the United States. It may not be possible to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. It also may not be possible to compel a non-US company or its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgment.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and in accordance with the Takeover Code and normal U.K. practice, Brave Bison or its affiliates or agents may make purchases of, or make arrangements to purchase, shares of System1 outside the United States otherwise than under the Offer.

Neither the SEC nor any US state securities commission has approved or disapproved the Final Offer or the Alternative Offer, or passed upon the adequacy or completeness of the Final Offer Document, the Original Offer Document or the Increased Offer Document. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.

The content of this website is not incorporated into and does not form part of the Offer.

Other Disclosure Requirements of the Takeover Code

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Takeover Code, any person who is interested in 1% or more of any class of "relevant securities" of an offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the "offer period" and, if later, following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th Business Day following the commencement of the offer period. Relevant persons who deal in the "relevant securities" of the offeree company or of a securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Takeover Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1% or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any "relevant securities" of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror, save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the Business Day following the date of the relevant "dealing".

If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an "interest in relevant securities" of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons "acting in concert" with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).

Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose "relevant securities" Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Takeover Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the offer period commenced and when any offeror was first identified. You should contact the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on +44 (0)20 7638 0129 if you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure.

Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Takeover Code, which can also be found on the Panel's website.

Rounding

Certain figures included or incorporated in this announcement have been subjected to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown for the same category presented in different tables may vary slightly and figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them.

No Profit Forecasts

No statement in this announcement is intended as a profit forecast or estimate for any period and no statement in this announcement should be interpreted to mean that earnings or earnings per share or dividend per share for Brave Bison, System1 or the Enlarged Group, as appropriate, for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings or earnings per share or dividend per share for Brave Bison, System1 or the Enlarged Group.

Forward-looking statements

This announcement, the Final Offer Document, the Original Offer Document and the Increased Offer Document (including information incorporated by reference in each document) contain certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Brave Bison and/or System1 and certain plans and objectives of Brave Bison and/or System1 with respect thereto. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as "anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "goal", "believe", "hope", "aims", "continue", "will", "may", "should", "would", "could", or other words of similar meaning. These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by Brave Bison and the Brave Bison Board in the light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions, future developments and other factors they believe appropriate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future and the factors described in the context of such forward-looking statements in this announcement could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and you are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of this announcement. Brave Bison does not assume any obligation to update or correct the information contained in this announcement (whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise), except as required by applicable law.

There are several factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements are changes in the global, political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory forces, future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates and future business combinations or dispositions.
