Brait invites holders of its outstanding 2020 Convertible Bonds to offer to sell any and all of their Bonds

Brait announces an invitation (the "Invitation") to holders (the "Bondholders") of its outstanding GBP 350 million 2.75% Convertible Bonds due 2020 (of which GBP 141 million remain outstanding) (ISIN: XS1292954812, the "Bonds") that are not located or resident in the United States and to whom the Invitation may otherwise be lawfully made (each an "Eligible Holder") to tender any and all of their Bonds for purchase by Brait for cash at Brait's sole and absolute discretion (each an "Offer"). Bondholders are requested to read this announcement, including the Annex to this announcement, in full before making any decision with respect to the Invitation. Bondholders may wish to obtain independent professional advice before making any such decision.

The Invitation is addressed to Bondholders only. The Invitation is not addressed to shareholders of Brait, who need to take no action.

The Invitation allows Brait to pro-actively address the maturity of the Bonds. Brait intends to cancel any Bonds repurchased by it pursuant to the Invitation.

As at 4.30 p.m. London time on 20 July 2020, GBP 141 million of the initially issued GBP 350 million in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds remained outstanding (the "Outstanding Bonds").

The fixed purchase price per GBP 100,000 principal amount of the Bonds, in respect of Bonds accepted for purchase pursuant to the Invitation, will be GBP 99,000 (the "Purchase Price").

Brait will also pay, in respect of Bonds accepted for purchase pursuant to the Invitation, a cash amount equal to the accrued but unpaid interest on each GBP 100,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds from and including 18 March 2020, being the immediately preceding interest payment date applicable to the Bonds, to but excluding the Settlement Date (as defined below), which is expected to amount to GBP 1,001.36 per GBP 100,000 principal amount of Bonds, assuming a Settlement Date of 30 July 2020 (the "Accrued Interest Payment").

Goldman Sachs International is acting as sole dealer manager in connection with the Invitation (the "Sole Dealer Manager"). In order to participate in the Invitation, Eligible Holders must submit their Offers to the Sole Dealer Manager prior to 4 p.m. (London time) on 23 July 2020. Bondholders will not be able to submit indications of interest through Euroclear Bank SA/NV or Clearstream Banking S.A.

Bondholders are advised that Brait reserves the right to acquire, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, Outstanding Bonds from time to time after settlement of the Invitation at a price which may be more or less than the Purchase Price and could be for cash or other consideration or otherwise on terms more or less favourable than those contemplated in the Invitation.

Brait may, at its sole discretion, extend, re-open, amend, waive any condition of or terminate the Invitation at any time prior to announcement of the final aggregate principal amount of the Bonds accepted for purchase in the Invitation (subject to applicable law). Details of any such extension, re- opening, amendment, waiver or termination will be announced as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant decision is made.

Offers must be submitted in respect of a nominal amount of Bonds of no less than GBP 100,000, being the minimum denomination of the Bonds. Brait is not under any obligation to accept any tender of Bonds for purchase pursuant to the Invitation. Offers may be rejected in the sole discretion of Brait for any reason and Brait is not under any obligation to furnish to Eligible Holders any reason or justification for refusing to accept any Offer.

Settlement of the Invitation is expected to occur on or around 30 July 2020 (the "Settlement Date"). Goldman Sachs International is acting as settlement agent and, subject to receipt of funds from Brait, will conduct settlement on the Settlement Date in relation to any Bonds accepted for purchase by Brait pursuant to the Invitation.
