RESPONSE TO RULE 2.8 ANNOUNCEMENT BY BRAVE BISON GROUP PLC

MISSION Group plc (AIM: TMG), notes the announcement released earlier today by Brave Bison Group plc ("Brave Bison") confirming that it does not intend to make an offer for MISSION. As a result, Brave Bison is bound by the restrictions set out in Rule 2.8 of the Takeover Code.

The board of MISSION is confident in MISSION's standalone prospects. As previously announced on 17 January 2024, the Board of MISSION has set out how it expects to realise value for MISSION's shareholders through its standalone strategy and execution of the Group's Value Restoration Plan, which is now well underway.  The Board of MISSION also remains confident that during the remainder of the year, it will deliver on its plan to reduce leverage.
