RECOMMENDED CASH ACQUISITIONOFJUST GROUP PLC ("JUST")BYBWS HOLDINGS LTD. ("BIDCO")a wholly owned subsidiary of Brookfield Wealth Solutions Ltd. ("BWS")to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangementunder Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006

RESULTS OF VOTING AT COURT MEETING AND GENERAL MEETING

On 31 July 2025, the boards of directors of BWS and Just announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer to be made by Bidco, a wholly owned subsidiary of BWS, to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Just (the "Acquisition"), to be implemented by way of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act (the "Scheme").

On 26 August 2025, Just published a circular in relation to the Scheme (the "Scheme Document"). Capitalised terms used in this announcement shall, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings as set out in the Scheme Document.

Results of Court Meeting and General Meeting

Just is pleased to announce that, at the Court Meeting and General Meeting held earlier today in connection with the Acquisition:

(A) the requisite majorities of Scheme Shareholders voted in favour of the resolution to approve the Scheme at the Court Meeting; and

(B) the requisite majority of Just Shareholders voted in favour of the Special Resolution to implement the Scheme, including the amendments to Just's articles of association, at the General Meeting.

Details of the resolutions proposed and passed are set out in the notices of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting contained in the Scheme Document.

Voting results of the Court Meeting

The table below sets out the results of the poll conducted at the Court Meeting. Each Scheme Shareholder present (including by proxy) was entitled to one vote per Scheme Share held at the Voting Record Time.

*All percentages rounded to two decimal places.** For the avoidance of doubt the 102,827,474 Just Shares owned beneficially by Bidco are Excluded Shares for the purposes of the Scheme, and therefore not Scheme Shares, and therefore were not voted on the resolution at the Court Meeting.*** Where a Scheme Shareholder has cast some of their votes "for" and some of their votes "against" the resolution, such Scheme Shareholder has been counted as having voted both "for" and "against" the resolution for the purposes of determining the number of Scheme Shareholders who voted as set out in this column.

Voting results of the General Meeting

The table below sets out the results of the poll conducted at the General Meeting. Each Just Shareholder present (including by proxy) was entitled to one vote per Just Share held at the Voting Record Time:

*All percentages rounded to two decimal places.** Includes discretionary votes.*** A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "for" or "against" the Special Resolution.

The total number of Just Shares in issue at the Voting Record Time (6.30 p.m. on 17 September 2025) was 1,038,702,932, with no shares held in treasury. Consequently, the total number of voting rights in Just at the Voting Record Time was 1,038,702,932.

A copy of the Special Resolution passed at the General Meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

Effective Date and Timetable

The outcome of today's Court Meeting and General Meeting means that Conditions 2(A) and 2(B) (as set out in Part III of the Scheme Document) have been satisfied. The Scheme remains subject to the satisfaction or (where applicable) waiver of the remaining Conditions and further terms set out in the Scheme Document, including the Court sanctioning the Scheme at the Sanction Hearing.

The expected timetable of principal events for the implementation of the Scheme remains as set out on pages 12 and 13 of the Scheme Document and as set out in the appendix below with the Scheme expected to become Effective in the first half of 2026. The dates are indicative only and are subject to change. The dates will depend, among other things, on the dates upon which: (i) the Conditions are satisfied or (if capable of waiver) waived; (ii) the Court sanctions the Scheme; and (iii) the Court Order is delivered to the Registrar of Companies. If any of the dates and/or times in the expected timetable change, the revised dates and/or times will be notified by announcement through a Regulatory Information Service.

The availability of the Scheme and the Acquisition to Overseas Shareholders may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are resident. Overseas Shareholders should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable requirements. It is the responsibility of all Overseas Shareholders to satisfy themselves as to the full compliance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in connection therewith, including the obtaining of any governmental, exchange control or other consents which may be required, or the compliance with other necessary formalities which are required to be observed and the payment of any issue, transfer or other taxes due in such jurisdiction.

The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom may be restricted by law and therefore any persons who are subject to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom should inform themselves about and observe any applicable requirements.

Unless otherwise determined by Just or required by the Code, and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Acquisition will not be made available, directly or indirectly, in, into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction. Copies of this announcement and any formal documentation relating to the Acquisition are not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in or into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction and persons receiving such (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise forward, distribute or send it in or into or from any Restricted Jurisdictions.

If the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer (unless otherwise permitted by applicable law and regulation), the Offer may not be made directly or indirectly, in or into, or by the use of mails or any means or instrumentality (including, but not limited to, facsimile, e-mail or other electronic transmission, telex or telephone) of interstate or foreign commerce of, or of any facility of a national, state or other securities exchange of any Restricted Jurisdiction and the Offer may not be capable of acceptance by any such use, means, instrumentality or facilities.

Notice to U.S. investors in Just

The Acquisition relates to shares in a U.K. company and is proposed to be made by means of a scheme of arrangement under English company law. U.S. holders of Just Shares should note that the Scheme relates to the shares of a U.K. company that are not registered under the U.S. Exchange Act and will be governed by English law. Neither the proxy solicitation rules nor the tender offer rules under the U.S. Exchange Act will apply to the Scheme. Moreover, the Scheme will be subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in the U.K. to schemes of arrangement, which differ from the disclosure and procedural requirements of the U.S. proxy solicitation rules and tender offer rules. If Bidco exercises its right to implement the acquisition of the Just Shares by way of an Offer, such Offer will be made in compliance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations to the extent applicable.

Financial information included in this announcement and accompanying documents has been or will have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards applicable in the U.K. that may not be comparable to financial information of U.S. companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. ("U.S. GAAP"). U.S. GAAP differs in certain significant respects from accounting standards applicable in the U.K. None of the financial information in this announcement or accompanying documents has been audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the U.S. or the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

It may be difficult for U.S. holders of Just Shares to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the U.S. federal laws, since Bidco and Just are located in non-U.S. jurisdictions, and some or all of Just's officers and directors are residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction. U.S. holders of Just Shares may not be able to sue a non-U.S. company or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-U.S. company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgement.

Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission nor any U.S. state securities commission has approved or disapproved the Acquisition, passed upon the merits or fairness of the Acquisition or passed any opinion upon the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of this announcement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements

This announcement (including information incorporated by reference in this announcement), oral statements made regarding the Acquisition, and other information published by Just, any member of the Just Group, BWS or the BWS Group contain statements which are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and on numerous assumptions regarding the business strategies and the environment in which Just, any member of the Just Group, BWS, the BWS Group and/or the Combined Group shall operate in the future and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by those statements.

Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements concerning the potential exposure of Just and the Just Group and BWS and the BWS Group to market risks, statements as to accretion and statements expressing management's expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions, including as to future potential cost savings, synergies, earnings, cash flow, return on capital employed, production and prospects. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as "aims", "anticipate", "believe", "could", "estimate", "expect", "goals", "hopes", "intend", "may", "objectives", "outlook", "plan", "probably", "project", "risks", "seek", "should", "target", "will", "would" and similar terms and phrases.

By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. There are a number of factors that could affect the future operations of Just, any member of the Just Group, BWS, the BWS Group and/or the Combined Group and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this announcement. Neither Just, the Just Group, BWS nor the BWS Group, nor any of their respective associates or directors, officers or advisers, provide any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this announcement will actually occur. Given these risks and uncertainties, potential investors are cautioned not to place any reliance on these forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements contained in this announcement and accompanying documents speak only as at the date of this announcement and are not intended to give any assurance as to future results. Other than in accordance with their legal or regulatory obligations, neither Just, the Just Group, BWS nor the BWS Group is under any obligation, and each such person expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

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 (as defined in the Code) 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.
