31 July 2026

Malibu Life Holdings Limited

(the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group")

Placing and Open Offer

Malibu Life Holdings Limited today announces a capital raise by way of a Placing and Open Offer of up to 8,621,748 New Ordinary Shares, at a price of $14.50 per New Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price"), to raise gross proceeds for the Company of up to $125 million, of which approximately $109 million has been conditionally placed with institutional and other investors, subject to clawback to satisfy valid applications under the Open Offer, or otherwise irrevocably committed for take up under the Open Offer.

Unless otherwise stated, capitalised terms in this announcement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Appendix.

Background to and reasons for the Placing and Open Offer

In September 2025, the Company completed its all-share combination with Malibu Life Reinsurance SPC ("Malibu Core"), creating a London-listed life and annuity reinsurance holding company with a clear mandate: to compound book value per share through disciplined spread income generated from long-dated, predictable insurance liabilities.

Since September 2025, the Group has made significant progress in executing its strategy. During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group increased book value per share by 4.5 per cent. to $33.33, and total comprehensive income was $24 million, inclusive of merger-related expenses. Malibu Core's reinsurance operations generated $889 million of annuity premiums under the existing flow treaty during 2025, bringing cumulative premiums since inception to approximately $1.4 billion. Assets supporting those liabilities were deployed in line with the Group's investment strategy, and liability cash flows performed in line with expectations, reinforcing the predictability and viability of the Group's spread-based model.

The Group's existing reinsurance treaty with a blue-chip US life and annuities platform continues to perform well and is expected to reach approximately $3 billion of cumulative premiums by the end of 2027. In addition, the Group has been actively pursuing additional reinsurance opportunities and has a robust pipeline of potential new treaties. The Group estimates cumulative premium volumes for its reinsurance operations of approximately $8.3 billion by the end of 2028 according to its current business plan.

A key milestone in the Group's development was the announcement in October 2025 of the proposed acquisition of TruSpire Retirement Services Insurance Company ("TruSpire"), a Texas-domiciled provider of life and retirement solutions and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mutual of America Life Insurance Company. TruSpire, which the Group will rebrand as Malibu Life USA, is licensed in 44 US states and has an approved Fixed Indexed Annuity product with access to the independent agent distribution channel. The acquisition of TruSpire closed on 1 July 2026, enabling the Group to enter the direct annuity issuance business, materially accelerating its transition to a hybrid origination model combining reinsurance and direct origination. The Group is estimating cumulative premium volumes through its Malibu Life USA platform to reach approximately $3 billion in aggregate in 2028 according to its current business plan which, together with the estimated $8.3 billion in cumulative premium volumes for its reinsurance operations, brings the Group's estimated total premium volumes to $11.3 billion in 2028.

The Board has determined that the Placing and Open Offer is the most appropriate means of raising the capital required to fund the Group's continued growth, including the scaling of the Group's reinsurance and direct origination platform. The Company believes that incremental capital will support larger reinsurance volumes, expanded retail distribution, and other strategic initiatives.

According to its business plan, the Company estimates that by 2028 its available capital would be $98 million whereas the capital required to support its growth objectives in insurance and reinsurance liabilities would be $325 million. On that basis, the successful execution of the Company's business plan would result in a capital shortfall, following the deployment of net capital from the Master Fund.

The Company's financing strategy is to act pre-emptively to have the requisite capital to execute its plan and is therefore raising up to $125 million of additional equity capital pursuant to the Placing and Open Offer now.

Despite positive operating momentum, a compelling growth strategy and strong pipeline of reinsurance opportunities, the Board considers that the Company's prospects are not reflected in the trading price of the Ordinary Shares. Therefore, the Board, through the Placing and Open Offer, seeks to facilitate shareholder rotation by broadening the investor base of the Company and thus enhance the liquidity and share price of the Ordinary Shares for the benefit of all Shareholders over time.

The Board considered a number of alternative structures and is satisfied that the Placing and Open Offer appropriately balances the need for certainty of proceeds with the desire to provide Qualifying Shareholders with the opportunity to participate in the capital raise on a pre-emptive basis.

Use of Proceeds

The net proceeds of the Placing and Open Offer are expected to be used as follows:

(a)                to fund the accelerated growth of TruSpire (to be rebranded as Malibu Life USA), the Group's direct annuity origination business, in order to scale more quickly;

(b)               to provide additional capital to support the scaling of Malibu Core's reinsurance operations and the pursuit of additional reinsurance treaty opportunities;

(c)                to maintain and preserve proper capital adequacy to support satisfactory rating and regulatory commitments; and

(d)               for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

The net proceeds of the Placing and Open Offer are intended to be invested in a management fee-free share class of the Third Point Master Fund pending deployment.

Current Trading and Outlook

The Board is pleased with the progress made since the Acquisition. The Group's reinsurance operations continue to perform in line with expectations, with liability cash flows tracking the Group's actuarial assumptions and the investment portfolio generating attractive risk-adjusted returns through Third Point's credit platform.

The recent acquisition of TruSpire represents a transformational step in the Group's development, providing direct access to the US retail annuity market and enabling the Group to originate annuity liabilities directly, complementing its existing reinsurance activities. The acquisition closed on 1 July 2026.

Looking ahead, the Board remains confident in the Group's strategy and its ability to deliver mid-teens return on equity as the platform scales. The Group enters the second half of 2026 with a clear growth trajectory, a strong pipeline of reinsurance opportunities and the launch of direct origination capabilities through TruSpire (to be rebranded Malibu Life USA).

Further Details on the Placing and Open Offer

The Company is seeking to raise up to approximately $125 million under the Placing and Open Offer through the issue of up to 8,621,748 New Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price of $14.50 per New Ordinary Share, of which 3,220,699 New Ordinary Shares have been conditionally placed with institutional and other investors (the "Conditionally Placed Shares"), subject to clawback to satisfy valid applications under the Open Offer, and existing Shareholders have irrevocably committed to apply for 4,216,423 New Ordinary Shares under the Open Offer (the "Committed Shares"), representing, in aggregate, gross proceeds of approximately $109 million.

The Issue Price represents a discount of 8.9% to the closing middle market price of $15.93 per Existing Ordinary Share on the London Stock Exchange on 31 July 2026 (being the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Placing and Open Offer).

Under the Placing and Open Offer, Conditional Placees have agreed to subscribe for, in aggregate, 3,220,699 Conditionally Placed Shares at the Issue Price, subject to clawback in respect of valid applications for Open Offer Shares (including for Excess Open Offer Shares) by Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to the Open Offer. Third Point and its affiliates and Gatemore have irrevocably committed to take up and apply for 4,216,423 Committed Shares at the Issue Price, representing their respective pro rata entitlements in the Open Offer, plus applications for Excess Shares, subject to scale back to satisfy valid applications for Open Offer Shares (including for Excess Open Offer Shares) by Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to the Open Offer, in excess of $125 million.

Under the Open Offer, Qualifying Shareholders are being given the opportunity to apply for the Open Offer Shares at the Issue Price on and subject to the terms and conditions of the Open Offer pro rata to their holdings of Existing Ordinary Shares on the Record Date on the following basis:

50 Open Offer Shares for every 99 Existing Ordinary Shares

Subject to availability, the Excess Application Facility will enable Qualifying Shareholders to apply for further Open Offer Shares up to the maximum size of the Open Offer, being a maximum of 8,621,748 Open Offer Shares. The total number of Open Offer Shares is fixed and will not be increased in response to any applications under the Excess Application Facility. Allocations under the Excess Application Facility are dependent on availability. In particular, take-up by other Qualifying Shareholders under the Open Offer will impact the number of Open Offer Shares available for subscription under the Excess Application Facility and applications by Qualifying Shareholders under the Excess Application Facility will be scaled back to the extent that the number of applications received exceed the number of Open Offer Shares available under the Excess Application Facility.

Applications under the Excess Application Facility shall be allocated in such manner as the Directors may determine, in their absolute discretion, and no assurance can be given that applications will be met in full or in part or at all.

The commitments of the Conditional Placees are subject to clawback in full in respect of valid applications for New Ordinary Shares by Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to the Open Offer to the extent that such valid applications are in excess of $125 million. Subject to the Placing and Open Offer becoming unconditional, 3,220,699 New Ordinary Shares which are not validly applied for in respect of the Open Offer will be issued to Conditional Placees pursuant to the Placing at the Issue Price.

If a Qualifying Shareholder who is not a Conditional Placee does not take up any of its Open Offer Entitlement, such Qualifying Shareholder's holding, as a percentage of the enlarged issued ordinary share capital of the Company, will be diluted by 33.56% as a result of the Placing and Open Offer (assuming that the maximum number of New Ordinary Shares is issued pursuant to the Placing and Open Offer).

To the extent that any Conditional Placee procured by Jefferies fails to take up any or all of the Conditionally Placed Shares which it has agreed to take up at the Issue Price, Jefferies has agreed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Placing and Open Offer Agreement, to subscribe for such New Ordinary Shares itself at the Issue Price.

The Placing and Open Offer is conditional, amongst other things, upon:

(a)  Admission becoming effective by no later than 8.00 a.m. on 21 August 2026 (or such later time and/or date as the Company and the Bank may agree, being not later than 8.00 a.m. on 3 September 2026);

(b)  the Placing and Open Offer Agreement having become unconditional in all respects and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms.

The Placing and Open Offer is not subject to Shareholder approval.

The New Ordinary Shares will be admitted to listing in the ESCC Category and an application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. Subject to the above conditions being satisfied, it is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings for normal settlement in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 21 August 2026.

The New Ordinary Shares, when issued and fully paid, will be identical to, and rank pari passu with, the Existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on the Existing Ordinary Shares by reference to a record date on or after Admission.

Qualifying Shareholders will receive a copy of an offering memorandum containing further details on, and the terms and conditions of, the Placing and Open Offer and should read the whole of such document.

UK Product Governance Requirements

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK Product Governance Rules"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any 'manufacturer' (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Rules) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the New Ordinary Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such New Ordinary Shares are: (a) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook ("COBS"); and (b) eligible for distribution through all permitted distribution channels (the "UK target market assessment"). Notwithstanding the UK target market assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the New Ordinary Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the New Ordinary Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the New Ordinary Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The UK target market assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing and Open Offer.

Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the UK target market assessment, Jefferies will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties. For the avoidance of doubt, the UK target market assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of COBS 9A and COBS 10A, respectively; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the New Ordinary Shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own UK target market assessment in respect of the New Ordinary Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
