CASH OFFER

for

Kape Technologies plc

Unikmind Holdings Limited

The Board of Unikmind Holdings Limited ("Unikmind"), a company incorporated in the Isle of Man, wholly-owned by Mr. Teddy Sagi, and the holder of approximately 54.8 per cent. of the issued ordinary shares of Kape Technologies plc ("Kape" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce the terms of a cash offer to be made by Unikmind to acquire the issued and to be issued share capital of Kape not already held by Unikmind (the "Offer").

Regardless of the outcome of the Offer, Unikmind intends to requisition a general meeting of Kape to seek to pass a resolution to delist Kape from AIM as soon as reasonably practicable following the Offer.

Summary

Under the terms of the Offer, the shareholders of Kape (the "Kape Shareholders") will be entitled to receive:

US$3.44 in cash for each Kape share (a "Kape Share")

which based on the "Announcement Exchange Rate" (as defined in APPENDIX III) is equivalent to 285 pence per Kape Share

· The Offer values the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Kape at approximately US$1.51 billion (calculated on the basis described in APPENDIX II), which is equivalent to £1.25 billion at the Announcement Exchange Rate.

· The Offer of US$3.44 for each Kape Share, being equivalent to 285 pence per Kape Share based on the Announcement Exchange Rate (the "Offer Price"), represents a premium of approximately:

o 9.7 per cent. to the Closing Price per Kape Share of 260 pence on 10 February 2023 (being the last Business Day prior to this announcement (the "Announcement"));

o 7.7 per cent. to the price per Kape Share of 265 pence at which Kape undertook its US$222.5 million equity placing in October 2022;

o 24.6 per cent. to the Closing Price per Kape Share of 229 pence on 8 December 2022 (being the day before the Initial Price Proposal (as defined in paragraph 3) was made to Kape); and

o 12.3 per cent. to the volume-weighted average price per Kape Share of 254 pence for the last three months to 10 February 2023 (being the last three months prior to the date of this Announcement).

· Under the Offer, the Offer Price will be payable in US$. Unikmind will commit that a UK Pound Sterling equivalent facility will be made available under which Kape Shareholders will be able to elect to receive their Offer consideration in UK Pound Sterling instead of US$.

· Unikmind strongly believes that the Offer provides attractive liquidity and represents a compelling opportunity for Kape Shareholders to realise the value of their holdings at a significant premium to the current share price.

· Unikmind has been steadfast in its support of Kape, ensuring the success of the Company's transformative acquisitions by providing certainty on the availability of cash. However, Unikmind now believes that the most appropriate way to support Kape in its buy-and-build strategy is through long term capital investment conducted away from public markets.

· Therefore, regardless of the outcome of the Offer, Unikmind intends to requisition a general meeting of Kape to seek to pass a resolution to delist Kape from AIM as soon as reasonably practicable following the Offer.

· Should Unikmind acquire (pursuant to the Offer or otherwise) voting rights representing 75 per cent. or more of the total voting rights in Kape, Unikmind intends that Kape will make an application to the London Stock Exchange for the cancellation of the admission to trading of Kape Shares on AIM, in which case, it would be possible to obtain the delisting on an accelerated timeline.

· The Kape Board has not yet set out its opinion on the Offer, but has granted consent to Unikmind to make this Offer under certain terms that are further detailed below, including a Partial Standstill Release (as defined in paragraph 3).

· Unikmind is hopeful that, following discussions with Kape Shareholders stemming from this Offer, the Kape Board will recommend that Kape Shareholders accept the Offer.

Commenting on the Offer, Mr. Teddy Sagi, the owner of Unikmind said:

"The last decade has witnessed the rapid growth of digital services with the expansion of e-commerce. Kape has, with our support as the majority shareholder, transformed through several strategic acquisitions, into a truly global leader in the digital privacy and security space. Having weighed the pros and cons of a public listing under the current macro uncertainties and thin stock market trading as well as new growth avenues, we are firm in our view that Kape's next chapter in its corporate journey should be within the private arena. We are committed to Kape's further growth within our group of companies, enabling it to exploit operational synergies and to access capital for its continuous growth, especially as the convergence of technologies is gaining momentum. Recognising that not all Kape Shareholders may wish to continue with us in a non-listed Kape, our cash offer represents a compelling proposition for fellow shareholders to realise their investment."

General

If any dividend, distribution or other return of value is authorised, declared, made or paid in respect of Kape Shares on or after the date of this Announcement the Offer Price shall be reduced by the amount of any such dividend, distribution or other return of value. In such circumstances, Kape Shareholders will be entitled to retain any such dividend, distribution, or other return of value declared, made or paid.

This summary should be read in conjunction with the full text of this Announcement. The Offer will be subject to the Conditions and further terms set out in APPENDIX I to this Announcement and to the full terms and Conditions to be set out in the document to be despatched to Kape Shareholders containing the full terms and condition of the Offer (the "Offer Document"). APPENDIX II to this Announcement contains further details of the sources of information and bases of calculations set out in this Announcement, and APPENDIX III contains definitions of certain expressions used in this summary and in this Announcement.

Overseas Shareholders

The Offer relates to securities in a company which is registered in the Isle of Man, which is admitted to trading on AIM and is subject to the disclosure requirements, rules and practices applicable to such companies, which differ from those of the United States in certain material respects. This document has been prepared for the purposes of complying with English law, the laws of the Isle of Man, the AIM Rules and the rules of the London Stock Exchange and the Code, and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this document had been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside the Isle of Man or the United Kingdom.

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

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.

Copies of this Announcement and formal documentation relating to the Offer shall not be, and must not be, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in, into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction or any jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws of that jurisdiction and persons receiving such documents (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise forward, distribute or send them in, into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction. Doing so may render invalid any related purported acceptance of the 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, 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.

Further details in relation to Overseas Shareholders shall be contained in the Offer Document.

If you are a resident of the United States, please read the following:

The Offer is being made to acquire the securities of Kape, a company incorporated under the laws of the Isle of Man, and is being made in the United States in reliance on, and compliance with, the exemption from certain requirements of Regulation 14E under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 afforded by Rule 14d-1(d) thereunder. The Offer shall be made in the United States by Unikmind and no one else.

The Offer is subject to the disclosure and procedural requirements of the Isle of Man and the United Kingdom, which differ from those in the United States. In addition, the payment and settlement procedure with respect to the Offer shall comply with the relevant Isle of Man and United Kingdom rules, which differ from United States payment and settlement procedures. Neither the SEC, nor any securities commission of any state of the United States has approved the Offer, passed upon the fairness of the Offer or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this document. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

In accordance with normal United Kingdom practice, Unikmind or its nominees, or its brokers (acting as agents), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares or other securities of Kape outside of the US, other than pursuant to the Offer, before or during the period in which the Offer remains opens for acceptance. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Any information about such purchases shall be disclosed as required by law or regulation in the Isle of Man, the United Kingdom and the United States, and, shall be reported to a Regulatory Information Service ("RIS") and shall be available on the London Stock Exchange website at www.londonstockexchange.com.

Financial information relating to Kape included in this document has been extracted from Kape's published financial statements, prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards (collectively, "IFRS"), and may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Unikmind and Kape are organised under the laws of the Isle of Man. Some or all of the officers and directors of Unikmind and Kape, respectively, are residents of countries other than the United States. In addition, most of the assets of Unikmind and Kape are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for US shareholders of Kape to effect service of process within the United States upon Unikmind or Kape or their respective officers or directors or to enforce against them a judgment of a US court predicated upon the federal or state securities laws of the United States.

Forward Looking Statements

This document (including information incorporated by reference in this document), oral statements made regarding the Offer, and other information published by Kape, Unikmind or any member of the Wider Unikmind 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 Unikmind, any member of the Wider Unikmind 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. The forward looking statements contained in this document relate to Unikmind, any member of the Wider Unikmind Group's future prospects, developments and business strategies, the expected timing and scope of the Offer and other statements other than historical facts. In some cases, these forward looking statements can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology, including the terms "believes", "estimates", "will look to", "would look to", "plans", "prepares", "anticipates", "expects", "is expected to", "is subject to", "intends", "may", "will", "shall" or "should" or their negatives or other variations or comparable terminology. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that shall occur in the future. These events and circumstances include 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 disposals. If any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialises or if any one or more of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those expected, estimated or projected. Such forward looking statements should therefore be construed in the light of such factors. Neither Unikmind or any member of the Wider Unikmind Group, nor any of their respective associates or directors, officers or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward looking statements in this document shall actually occur. Given these risks and uncertainties, potential investors should not place any reliance on forward looking statements. The forward looking statements speak only at the date of this document. All subsequent oral or written forward- looking statements attributable to any member of the Wider Unikmind Group, or any of their respective associates, directors, officers, employees or advisers, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement above.

Unikmind and the Wider Unikmind Group expressly disclaim any obligation to update such statements other than as required by law or by the rules of any competent regulatory authority, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

No profit forecasts or estimates

No statement in this Announcement is intended or shall be deemed to be a profit forecast, estimate or projection of the future financial performance of Unikmind or Kape for any period except as otherwise stated and no statement in this Announcement should be interpreted to mean that cashflow from operations, earnings or earnings per share or income of those persons (where relevant) for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published cashflow from operations, earnings or earnings per share or income of those persons (where relevant).

Disclosure requirements of the Code

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the 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.

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the 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(s), 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 p.m. 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).

CASH OFFER

for

Kape Technologies plc

Unikmind Holdings Limited

1 Introduction

The Board of Unikmind, a company incorporated in the Isle of Man, wholly-owned by Mr. Teddy Sagi, and the holder of approximately 54.8 per cent. of the issued ordinary shares of Kape is pleased to announce the terms of a cash offer to be made by Unikmind to acquire the issued and to be issued share capital of Kape not already held by Unikmind (the "Offer").

2 The Offer

Under the terms of the Offer, which shall be subject to the Conditions and further terms set out in APPENDIX I to this Announcement and to the full terms and Conditions to be set out in the Offer Document, and, in respect of Kape Shares held in certificated form, the Form of Acceptance, Kape Shareholders will be entitled to receive:

US$3.44 in cash for each Kape Share

which based on the Announcement Exchange Rate is equivalent to 285 pence per Kape Share

· The Offer of US$3.44 for each Kape Share, being equivalent to 285 pence per Kape Share based on the Announcement Exchange Rate, represents a premium of approximately:

o 9.7 per cent. to the Closing Price per Kape Share of 260 pence on 10 February 2023 (being the last Business Day prior to this Announcement);

o 7.7 per cent. to the price per Kape Share of 265 pence at which Kape undertook its US$222.5 million equity placing in October 2022;

o 24.6 per cent. to the Closing Price per Kape Share of 229 pence on 8 December 2022 (being the day before the Initial Price Proposal was made to Kape); and

o 12.3 per cent. to the volume-weighted average price per Kape Share of 254 pence for the last three months to 10 February 2023 (being the last three months prior to this Announcement).

Under the Offer, the Offer Price will be payable in US$. Unikmind will commit that a UK Pound Sterling equivalent facility will be made available under which Kape Shareholders will be able to elect to receive their Offer consideration in UK Pound Sterling instead of US$ (after deduction of any transaction or dealing costs associated with the conversion) at the applicable market exchange rate on the latest practicable date for fixing such rate prior to the payment date. Further details of this facility will be set out in the Offer Document.

The Offer provides attractive liquidity and represents a compelling opportunity for Kape Shareholders to realise the value of their holdings at a significant premium to the current share price. The Offer is expected to close in the first half of 2023, subject to the satisfaction or (where applicable) waiver of the Conditions and certain further terms set out in APPENDIX I of this Announcement.

The Offer will extend to all issued Kape Shares not held by Unikmind and any further Kape Shares which are unconditionally allotted or issued and fully paid before the Offer closes.

If any dividend, distribution or other return of value is authorised, declared, made or paid in respect of Kape Shares on or after the date of this Announcement the Offer Price shall be reduced by the amount of any such dividend, distribution or other return of value. In such circumstances, Kape Shareholders shall be entitled to retain any such dividend, distribution, or other return of value declared, made or paid.

The Kape Shares will be acquired pursuant to the Offer fully paid and free from all liens, charges, equitable interests, encumbrances, rights of pre-emption and other third party rights or interests together with all rights attaching thereto including, without limitation, the right to receive all dividends and other distributions (if any) announced, declared, made or paid after the date of this Announcement.

3 Background to and reasons for the Offer

Context of the Offer

Unikmind, the approximately 54.8 per cent. majority shareholder of Kape, has been steadfast in its support of the Company throughout its corporate history. This has notably included Unikmind investing c.US$525 million in Kape Shares since 2014 and helping Kape successfully execute seven acquisitions over the past five years, in aggregate amounting to more than US$1.25 billion of M&A activity.

In September 2021, Unikmind underwrote Kape's entire US$354 million equity placing and backstopped the deferred cash consideration and bank debt facilities as part of the US$936 million transformative acquisition of ExpressVPN. This strong support from Unikmind provided underlying certainty on the availability of cash to allow Kape to complete the transaction. In the subsequent US$222.5 million equity placing in October 2022, Unikmind subscribed to its full c.US$122 million pro rata share, standing by the Company and ensuring the success of another key milestone for Kape.

In Unikmind's opinion, the highly competitive market environment in which Kape operates and the current heightened global macroeconomic challenges, may generate headwinds to Kape's revenue growth if it were to rely solely on organic growth in the short to medium term. While Unikmind supports all organic growth initiatives, it believes a continued, proactive buy-and-build strategy by Kape will remain the most promising driver of growth. It also believes that given current macroeconomic challenges and related capital markets uncertainties, the availability of potential acquisitions may be increased.

Whilst Unikmind is committed to continuing to support Kape in raising future funds for this buy-and-build strategy, it is not necessarily prepared to do so while Kape remains a publicly listed company. Unikmind believes that the most appropriate way to support the Company is through long term capital investment that is best conducted and structured away from public markets. Indeed, as a private company, Kape could focus on long term growth and would be free from the associated listing and disclosure requirements and costs that come with being a publicly listed company. Unikmind believes that Kape's AIM listing has served it well, allowing it to grow and deliver substantial value for shareholders, but in order to continue that growth trajectory it is now more appropriate to do so away from the scrutiny and constraint of public markets.

In the private arena, benefiting from the sizeable business support and financial resources that Mr. Teddy Sagi and his family office Globe Invest would bring, Kape would be able to sustain its expansion. Through its strategic fit with the broader investment portfolio of Mr. Teddy Sagi, Kape would be able to explore potential synergies for expanding its current suite of products and services, gain access to sector know-how, benefit from development and marketing support for its products and achieve more appropriately-structured financial support for further organic and acquisitive growth.

Therefore, regardless of the outcome of the Offer, Unikmind intends to requisition a general meeting of Kape to seek to pass a resolution to delist Kape from AIM as soon as reasonably practicable following the Offer.

Should Unikmind acquire (pursuant to the Offer or otherwise) voting rights representing 75 per cent. or more of the total voting rights of Kape, Unikmind intends that Kape will make an application to the London Stock Exchange for the cancellation of the admission to trading of Kape Shares on AIM, in which case, it would be possible to obtain the delisting on an accelerated timeline. Should Unikmind not so acquire voting rights representing acceptances reaching 75 per cent. or more of the total voting rights of Kape, Unikmind nonetheless intends to requisition a general meeting of Kape to allow shareholders to vote on a delisting.

Unikmind strongly believes that the Offer represents a compelling opportunity for Kape Shareholders to realise the value of their holdings at a significant premium to the current share price. Moreover, in light of the persistent illiquidity in Kape's daily share trading volumes, the Offer provides an attractive liquidity opportunity for Kape Shareholders. There is no guarantee that there will be any further similar opportunities for Kape Shareholders to meaningfully realise the value of their investments in the Company in the medium-to-long term.

Interactions between Unikmind and the Kape Board

In light of the above, Unikmind approached the Kape Board on 9 December 2022 with a non-binding offer proposal for the acquisition of the entire share capital of Kape not already held by Unikmind at the price of 265 pence per share (the "Initial Price Proposal"). The Initial Price Proposal contained customary pre-conditions including access to limited due diligence. In order to access the diligence process, the Kape Board required Unikmind to enter into a non-disclosure agreement (the "Kape NDA").

The Kape NDA contained a standstill provision which precluded Unikmind from acquiring, offering to acquire or causing another person to acquire or offering to acquire any interest in any Kape Shares until the earlier of (i) the date on which Kape announces its final full year results for the twelve months ended 31 December 2022 and (ii) 31 March 2023. In addition, Unikmind was prohibited from entering into an agreement or arrangement to announce, or to make an offer for Kape until the later of (i) six months from the date of the Kape NDA and (ii) the date on which all members of Unikmind Group, Mr. Teddy Sagi and affiliates have ceased to actively consider (within the meaning of the Code) an offer (however to be implemented) for Kape (the "Standstill Provisions"). In order to be able to present an offer to Kape Shareholders, Unikmind agreed to the terms of the Kape NDA so that it could conduct the requisite due diligence on Kape.

Following a short and focussed due diligence exercise that was concluded on 13 January 2023, Unikmind submitted a further, improved offer of the US$ equivalent of 285 pence per share, which formed the basis of this Offer. The Kape Board has not yet set out their opinion on the Offer.

Following the improvement in the offer price from the Initial Price Proposal, the ability to make the Offer was granted by way of a partial standstill release from the Kape NDA dated 10 February 2023 (the "Partial Standstill Release"), whereby amongst other matters the Kape Board agreed to permit Unikmind to make the Offer subject to a minimum acceptance condition set at 70 per cent., not to be waived by Unikmind without the consent of the Kape Board (the "Minimum Acceptance Condition"). This Minimum Acceptance Condition, including the criteria that must be met before Unikmind may request Kape's consent to reduce the threshold below 70 per cent., is described in more detail in paragraphs 10 and 12 below.

But for the Minimum Acceptance Condition imposed by the Partial Standstill Release, under the Code, Unikmind would have the ability, as Kape's major shareholder with an existing holding of approximately 54.8 per cent., freely to waive the acceptance condition of the Offer down below this 70 per cent. threshold level.

Unikmind is hopeful that, following discussions with Kape Shareholders stemming from this Offer, the Kape Board will recommend that Kape Shareholders accept the Offer.

Important related matters

Should the Offer be successful, it is the intention of Unikmind to review Kape's balance sheet and decide, based upon the level of acceptances of the Offer, whether to implement an optimisation of its balance sheet. This may include the upstreaming of cash (the "Cash Upstreaming") from Kape, which if carried out would increase the leverage of the Company to a level of between c.1.0x and c.2.6x the Trading Update Proforma Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in paragraph 5), which is below Kape's existing covenant leverage threshold, in order to repay part or all of the aggregate current outstanding amount of the loans made under the Bridge Facilities (as defined in paragraph 9).

If Unikmind resolves to pursue the Cash Upstreaming, this will only be paid after the Offer completes and delisting from AIM takes place. The Cash Upstreaming would likely be achieved through a one-time cash distribution by either a dividend payment to the remaining Kape Shareholders (the "Possible Post-Closing Dividend"), loan or other means (together with the Possible Post-Closing Dividend, the "Possible Facilities Repayment Distribution").

There is no guarantee that Unikmind will choose to follow this route and indeed Unikmind may choose not to support the payment of future cash distributions, resulting in remaining Kape Shareholders receiving no further cash distributions from the Company in respect of future financial periods.

If, pursuant to the Offer, Unikmind acquires or agrees to acquire 90 per cent. of the Kape Shares affected by the Offer, and Unikmind were to exercise the Squeeze-out Rights, which it intends to do, any Possible Facilities Repayment Distribution that is paid to a Kape Shareholder who has not accepted the Offer prior to the date on which the Offer closes, assuming the compulsory acquisition of shares pursuant to the exercise of the Squeeze-out Rights becomes effective, will be deducted from the consideration due to an accepting Kape Shareholder (being a term of the Offer), but such Kape Shareholder will be entitled to receive and retain the Possible Facilities Repayment Distribution in addition to that part of the consideration due under the terms of the Offer.

Given the above, should the delisting from AIM occur, and Unikmind elects to make the Possible Facilities Repayment Distribution, any remaining Kape Shareholders would become minority shareholders in a more levered, privately-controlled limited company, without certain protections provided by Kape's current listing on AIM.

The expectation that a Possible Facilities Repayment Distribution may be paid in the circumstances in which it may become payable as set out above is not a post-offer undertaking for the purposes of Rule 19.5 of the Code.

4 Information on Unikmind

Unikmind is a company, incorporated in the Isle of Man, for the sole purpose of holding the existing approximately 54.8 per cent. participation in Kape. Unikmind is wholly-owned by Mr. Teddy Sagi, and owns no other non-cash assets beyond its participation in Kape.

Mr. Sagi is an entrepreneur and businessman with interests ranging from regulated financial services, to software and technology development, digital security, real estate (residential, office, co-working and retail) and e-commerce. Mr. Sagi founded Playtech plc ("Playtech"), which is now one of the world's leading online gaming software companies, and listed it on AIM in 2006. In June 2012, Playtech moved to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. Mr. Sagi has since disposed of his interest in Playtech.

Mr. Sagi also launched two other AIM listed online services companies - SafeCharge Limited ("SafeCharge"), a regulated online payment service provider, and Kape, both listed in 2014. In August 2019, Mr. Sagi sold his entire interest in SafeCharge to a Canadian payments technology company.

In recent years, Mr. Sagi has entered the London commercial property market via a notable investment in Market Tech Holdings (LabTech Group), the owner of the vast majority of London's iconic Camden market including Camden Lock Market, Stables Market, Union Street Market, and Camden Lock Village. Similarly to Kape, Market Tech was a listed entity; the business went on to be privatised following a successful and mutually beneficial takeover.

5 Information on Kape

Kape is a leading 'privacy-first' digital security software provider to consumers. Through its range of privacy and security products, Kape focuses on protecting consumers and their personal data as they go about their digital lives. The digital content division operates as a standalone division whilst supporting the broader business to reduce the average customer acquisition costs. As of 31 December 2022, Kape has c. 7.4 million paying customers globally, supported by a team of over 1,400 people across ten locations worldwide. Kape's registered office is located in Douglas, Isle of Man.

For the financial year ended 31 December 2021 Kape's revenues were US$230.7 million, with Proforma Adjusted EBITDA of US$78.0 million. Revenues for the 6 months ended 30 June 2022 were US$302.4 million (H1 2021: US$95.5 million), with Proforma Adjusted EBITDA at US$88.9 million (H1 2021: US$28.7 million). As per the trading update dated 17 January 2023 (the "Trading Update"), revenue for 2022 is expected at c.US$623 million and Proforma Adjusted EBITDA at c.US$173 million (the "Trading Update Proforma Adjusted EBITDA").

6 Unikmind's intentions regarding Kape's business, management and employees

Unikmind does not intend there to be any material changes to Kape's business (save for potential acceleration of inorganic growth), broader strategic plans, or locations and places of business (including its headquarters and headquarters functions), as a result of the Offer and there is no intention to redeploy any of Kape's fixed assets.

Unikmind intends to ensure that Kape will continue to focus on protecting consumers and their personal data, by delivering the most advanced privacy and security solutions and by implementing the highest digital privacy protocols required in all jurisdictions in which it operates.

By the nature of its business, Kape has an extensive and well-integrated global research and development division supporting growth and development across its entire business platform. Unikmind intends to continue to maintain and support this division, viewing it as essential for the maintenance of Kape's market position, and to continue the buy-and-build strategy that the Directors of Unikmind believe may be possible to be accelerated in the private arena.

Should the Offer be successful, it is the intention of Unikmind to review Kape's balance sheet and decide, based upon the level of acceptances of the Offer, whether to implement an optimisation of its balance sheet. This may include the Cash Upstreaming, which will increase the leverage of the Company, in order to repay part or all of the aggregate current outstanding amount of the loans made under the Bridge Facilities.

Unikmind confirms that, following completion of the Offer, the existing employment rights, including pension rights, of the employees of Kape will be fully safeguarded in accordance with applicable law.

Unikmind does not intend to make any changes to the existing employer pension contribution arrangements, the accrual of pension benefits for existing members or the rights of admission of new members.

Once Kape ceases to be a listed company, a limited number of public company-related functions may be reduced in scope or become unnecessary, and as such Unikmind expects there to be a limited reduction in headcount in relation to these functions. However, given the opportunity to partner with other portfolio companies in Mr. Teddy Sagi's control, and in line with Unikmind's intentions to continue to grow the business, Unikmind believes there will be new opportunities for the affected Kape employees if they wish to pursue them.

It is Unikmind's intention to work with the executive management of Kape to determine the appropriate balance of skills and functions of employees and management post the Offer and with regard to the outcome of the Offer. There is no intention to alter the balance of skills and functions of employees and management of Kape beyond the anticipated reduction in headcount of Kape's public company-related functions. However, it remains possible that this view may change following discussions with the executive management of Kape.

Unikmind believes performance-based compensation to be an important tool in motivating and retaining talented employees. It is therefore Unikmind's intention to work with the executive management team, if the Offer becomes unconditional, to consider appropriate ongoing employee performance-based incentive arrangements.

Should Unikmind acquire (pursuant to the Offer or otherwise) voting rights representing 75 per cent. or more of the total voting rights of Kape, Unikmind intends that Kape will make an application to the London Stock Exchange for the cancellation of the admission to trading of Kape Shares on AIM, in which case, it would be possible to obtain the delisting on an accelerated timeline. Should Unikmind not so acquire voting rights representing 75 per cent. or more of the total voting rights of Kape, Unikmind nonetheless intends to requisition a general meeting of Kape to allow shareholders to vote on a delisting.

7 Kape Share Plan

Unikmind has been informed by Kape that the remuneration committee of the Company has exercised its discretion under the Kape Share Plan to resolve that all of the options and other awards under the Kape Share Plan (including the JOE Awards referred to in paragraph 8 below), which are "in the money" because the exercise price is lower than US$3.44 which is equivalent to 285 pence at the Announcement Exchange Rate (together "Relevant Awards"), will, in connection with the Offer becoming unconditional, vest in full and that all performance conditions be waived.

Participants in the Kape Share Plan will be contacted regarding the effect of the Offer on their rights under the Kape Share Plan, and, where relevant, a proposal will be made in respect of their options in accordance with Rule 15 of the Code. The proposal to holders of already vested options and holder of the Relevant Awards will be that they will be able to exercise the options and accept the Offer if the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional.

Holders of options under the Kape Share Plan where the exercise price is higher than US$3.44, which is equivalent to 285 pence at the Announcement Exchange Rate, will not receive the proposal, as participants would have to pay more per Kape Share to exercise their options than they would receive if they exercised their options and accepted the Offer.

Unikmind intends to take steps to procure that a shareholder resolution is passed as soon as possible after the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional to ensure that to the extent any Kape Shares are issued under the Kape Share Plan after the date that the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional, the resulting Kape Shares will automatically be transferred to Unikmind on the same terms (and for the same cash price per Kape Share) as the Offer (other than the terms as to timing and formalities).

8 JOE Awards

In addition, two individuals have been granted share awards over, in aggregate, 4 million Kape Shares (the "JOE Awards"). Pursuant to the terms of the JOE Awards, the Kape Shares underlying the JOE Awards have been issued and are being held on trust by Kape's Employee Benefit Trust (the "JOE Shares").

The trustees of the Employee Benefit Trust (as legal owner of the JOE Shares) or the JOE Awards holders (as beneficiaries of the JOE Shares) will be eligible to accept the Offer in respect of all the JOE Shares.

The holders of the JOE Awards will be contacted regarding how to accept the Offer in respect of the

JOE Shares and the effect of the Offer on their rights under the JOE Awards.

9 Financing of the Offer

The cash consideration payable to Kape Shareholders by Unikmind under the terms of the Offer will be financed by Unikmind through the Shareholder Loan (as defined below), the Holdco Loan Agreement (as defined below) and the Bridge Facilities (as defined below).

The cash consideration payable to Kape Shareholders by Unikmind under the terms of the Offer (and any related fees, costs and expenses) will be financed by Unikmind through new equity and debt financing arrangements comprising: (i) an up to US$ equivalent of £100,000,000 equity injection to be provided to Unikmind by Mr. Teddy Sagi by way of a subordinated shareholder loan (a "Shareholder Loan"); (ii) a US$267,000,000 facility (the "Holdco Loan") to be provided to Unikmind by the lenders party thereto as documented in a facility agreement arranged by HSBC Private Bank (Suisse) SA (the "Holdco Loan Agreement"), which is personally guaranteed by Mr. Teddy Sagi; and (iii) two bridge facilities of US$268,000,000 and US$75,000,000 (the "Bridge Facilities") to be provided to Unikmind by the lenders party thereto as documented in a facility agreement arranged by HSBC Bank plc (the "Bridge Facilities Agreement"), in each case on a certain funds basis customary for acquisition financings of this nature.

HSBC, as financial adviser to Unikmind, is satisfied that sufficient cash resources are available to Unikmind to enable it to satisfy in full the cash consideration payable to Kape Shareholders under the terms of the Offer.

A summary of the Shareholder Loan, the Bridge Facilities Agreement and the Holdco Loan Agreement will be set out in the Offer Document.

10 Offer-related arrangements

Non-disclosure agreement

On 24 December 2022, Unikmind and Kape entered into a non-disclosure agreement in relation to the Offer (the "Kape NDA"), pursuant to which, amongst other things, Unikmind and Kape gave certain undertakings to each other, including: (i) subject to certain exceptions, including with respect to information relating to Kape or the Kape Group not to disclose it to third parties (other than to the Authorised Recipients in the context of the Offer including: (A) members of the Unikmind Group or Globe Invest (as defined therein), or any of their respective officers, employees and advisers; (B) Mr. Teddy Sagi; and (C) any named potential finance provider to the Unikmind Group as Kape may (in each case) approve in advance in writing); and (ii) use such confidential information only for the purposes of considering, evaluating or negotiating the Offer and its financing. These confidentiality obligations will remain in force until the earlier of (i) completion of the Offer or (ii) two years from the date of the Kape NDA. The Kape NDA also contains standstill provisions which restrict Unikmind and Globe Invest, and any person acting in concert with Mr. Teddy Sagi from acquiring or offering to acquire any shares, securities or interest in Kape. Kape agreed to release Unikmind from certain of these restrictions to permit Unikmind to make the Offer.

Partial Standstill Release

On 10 February 2023, the Kape Board released Unikmind from certain of the provisions of the Kape NDA in order to allow it to make the Offer by way of the Partial Standstill Release.

Under the Partial Standstill Release, Kape has agreed to use reasonable endeavours, except to the extent that to do so is prohibited by applicable law, to provide Unikmind and its legal advisers, in a timely manner all such information and reasonable assistance within Kape's power or control as may be reasonably required by Unikmind for the purpose of any filings, notifications or submissions required under applicable law or regulation to be made to or with a relevant authority in order for the Offer to be completed or which would, if not satisfied or made, result in a criminal or material regulatory sanction for a member of the Unikmind Group or any of their respective directors or officers as a result of a completion of the Offer.

Under the Partial Standstill Release, Kape has agreed that Unikmind may make the Offer provided that the Offer is subject to the Acceptance Condition (as described in paragraph 12 below).

11 Offer Document

It is expected that the Offer Document and the Form of Acceptance accompanying the Offer Document will be published as soon as practicable, subject to the Code, and, in any event, (save with the consent of the Panel) within 28 days of this Announcement.

The Offer Document and Form of Acceptance will be made available to Kape Shareholders at no charge to them.

Kape Shareholders are urged to read the Offer Document and the accompanying Form of Acceptance when they are sent to them because they will contain important information.

12 Conditions to the Offer

Unikmind is already the holder of approximately 54.8 per cent. of the issued ordinary shares of Kape.

The Offer will be subject to the Conditions and further terms set out in APPENDIX I to this Announcement and to be set out in the Offer Document, which include:

· valid acceptances of the Offer having been received (and not validly withdrawn in accordance with the rules and requirements of the Code and the terms of the Offer) by no later than 1.00 p.m. (London time) on the Unconditional Date (or such other times and/or dates as Unikmind may specify, subject to the rules of the Code and where applicable with the consent of the Panel) in respect of such number of Kape Shares as shall, when aggregated with the Kape Shares already held by Unikmind at the date of this Announcement and the Kape Shares acquired or unconditionally agreed to be acquired (whether pursuant to the Offer or otherwise) by Unikmind and/or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, represent Kape Shares carrying in aggregate at least 70 per cent. of the voting rights then exercisable at a general meeting of Kape (or such lesser percentage as Unikmind may decide, with the consent of Kape, provided that Unikmind together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries shall hold or have acquired or agreed to acquire (whether pursuant to the Offer or otherwise), directly or indirectly, Kape Shares carrying in aggregate more than 50 per cent. of the voting rights then normally exercisable at a general meeting of Kape) (the "Acceptance Condition"). Unless the Panel consents otherwise, the Acceptance Condition shall only be capable of being satisfied when all other Conditions set out in Part A of APPENDIX I have been satisfied or waived; and

· certain regulatory conditions, as set out in paragraph 1.2 of Part A of APPENDIX I to this Announcement, namely:

o if Unikmind has determined that a filing with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS") is required, Unikmind having notified the Offer and having received written CFIUS Clearance, or, if applicable, all pre-export requirements under License Exception ENC of the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR §740.17) having been completed in lieu of a required CFIUS filing; and

o approval, if required, from the Romanian FDI Commission.

Unikmind may request Kape to consent to the reduction of the 70 per cent. threshold in the Acceptance Condition to a lesser percentage if the following criteria are met: at the relevant time, Unikmind or another member of the Unikmind Group has announced by RIS that: (i) Unikmind or another member of the Unikmind Group has secured the support of Kape Shareholders holding Kape Shares (the "Support Shares") the voting rights of which, when aggregated with the voting rights of Kape Shares that are owned by the Unikmind Group or which the Unikmind Group has acquired or unconditionally agreed to acquire (whether pursuant to the Offer or otherwise), represent at least 70 per cent. of the voting rights then exercisable at a general meeting of Kape; and (ii) the Support Shares are the subject of a legally binding unconditional written irrevocable undertaking to (A) either (i) vote in favour of a resolution to cancel admission of the Kape Shares to trading on AIM at a general meeting of Kape (including by way of a written resolution) (a "Delisting Resolution") or (ii) sell the Support Shares to a member of the Unikmind Group at the Offer Price before the closing date of the Offer; and (B) not dispose of the Support Shares (other than to a member of the Unikmind Group) before either (i) a general meeting of Kape has been held at which a Delisting Resolution has been put to the vote or (ii) a written Delisting Resolution has been passed.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the Conditions and certain further terms set out in APPENDIX I, it is expected that the Offer will become or be declared unconditional in the first half of 2023.

The Offer will lapse unless all of the Conditions have been fulfilled or, where permitted, waived or, where appropriate, have been determined by Unikmind to be or remain satisfied, by midnight (London time) on the earlier of the Unconditional Date or the Long-Stop Date (subject to the rules of the Code and where applicable, the consent of the Panel). Further details are set out in APPENDIX I to this Announcement.

13 Delisting and compulsory acquisition

Regardless of the outcome of the Offer, Unikmind intends to requisition a general meeting of Kape to seek to pass a resolution to delist Kape from AIM (the "Delisting") as soon as reasonably practicable following the Offer.

Accordingly, after the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional:

· if Unikmind has, by virtue of its shareholding (and the shareholdings of its wholly-owned subsidiaries) and acceptances of the Offer, acquired or unconditionally agreed to acquire Kape Shares carrying 75 per cent. or more of the voting rights of Kape, Unikmind intends to pass a written resolution approving the Delisting. A written resolution signed by shareholders representing not less than 75 per cent. of the total voting rights would become effective; or

· otherwise, Unikmind intends to requisition a general meeting of Kape to propose a shareholder resolution to effect the Delisting. Such a resolution would require the approval of members representing not less than 75 per cent. of the total voting rights of members who (being entitled to do so) vote in person or by proxy.

If the Offer does not become unconditional and/or lapses, Unikmind intends to requisition a general meeting of Kape to propose a shareholder resolution to effect the Delisting.

Should Unikmind requisition a general meeting to propose the Delisting Resolution, the directors of Kape will be bound to convene the meeting.

If the Delisting Resolution is passed (whether at a general meeting or by way of a written resolution), Unikmind intends that Kape will make an application to the London Stock Exchange for the cancellation of the admission to trading of Kape Shares on AIM as soon as practicable thereafter.

It is anticipated that, subject to any applicable requirements of the London Stock Exchange, cancellation of admission to trading of Kape Shares on AIM shall take effect no earlier than 20 Business Days after such application is made. Unikmind will notify Kape Shareholders when the application has been made and confirm that the notice period has commenced and the anticipated date of cancellation.

Following the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional and the Kape Shares having been delisted, Unikmind intends to procure that Kape adopts new articles of association more suited to a privately controlled company.

A Delisting would significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of any Kape Shares in respect of which the Offer has not been accepted at that time and their value may be affected as a consequence. Any remaining Kape Shareholders would become minority shareholders in a privately controlled limited company and may be unable to sell their Kape Shares and there can be no certainty that any dividends or other distributions will be made by Kape in respect of future financial periods, or that the Kape Shareholders shall again be offered as much for the Kape Shares held by them as under the Offer.

If Unikmind receives acceptances under the Offer in respect of, and/or otherwise acquires, 90 per cent. or more of the Kape Shares affected by the Offer and assuming that the Conditions have been satisfied or waived (if capable of being waived), Unikmind intends, subject to the provisions of the Isle of Man Companies Act 2006 (the "IoM Companies Act"), to exercise its rights in accordance with section 160 of that Act, to acquire compulsorily any Kape Shares not acquired or agreed to be acquired by or on behalf of Unikmind pursuant to the Offer or otherwise on the same terms as the Offer.

14 Dividends

If, on or after the date of this Announcement, any dividend, distribution, or other return of value is declared, made or paid, or becomes payable by Kape, Unikmind reserves the right to reduce the Offer Price by the amount of any such dividend, distribution, or other return of value. In such circumstances, Kape Shareholders shall be entitled to retain any such dividend, distribution, or other return of value declared, made, or paid.

Should Delisting take place following the Offer becoming unconditional, Unikmind may choose to direct Kape to make the Possible Post-Closing Dividend as described in paragraph 3 above. There is no guarantee that Unikmind will choose to follow this route and indeed Unikmind may choose not to support the payment of future dividend payments resulting in remaining shareholders receiving no further dividends or other distributions from Kape in respect of future financial periods. Furthermore, the per share value of any Possible Post-Closing Dividend will be significantly less than the value afforded to Kape Shareholders under the terms of the Offer.

15 Disclosure of interests in Kape

As at close of business on 10 February 2023 (being the last Business Day before the date of this Announcement), save as disclosed below, neither Unikmind, nor any of the Directors of Unikmind, nor, so far as the directors of Unikmind are aware, any person acting in concert with Unikmind for the purposes of the Offer, had any interest in, right to subscribe for, or had borrowed or lent any Kape Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into Kape Shares, nor did any such person have any short position (whether conditional or absolute and whether in the money or otherwise), including any short position under a derivative, any agreement to sell or any delivery obligation or right to require another person to take delivery, or any dealing arrangement of the kind referred to in Note 11 of the definition of acting in concert in the Takeover Code, in relation to Kape Shares or in relation to any securities convertible or exchangeable into Kape Shares.

As at the close of business on 10 February 2023 (being the last Business Day prior to the publication of this Announcement), Mr. Pierre Lallia is acting in concert with Unikmind and holds 15,000 Kape Shares. Mr. Lallia is a director of Kape appointed to this role by Unikmind and is a director of Globe Invest UK Ltd, an affiliate of Mr. Teddy Sagi.

Name:	Number of Kape Shares:	Approximate percentage of existing issued share capital:
Unikmind	232,288,281	54.8%
Mr. Pierre Lallia	15,000	0.0%
HSBC	0	0.0%

It has not been practicable for Unikmind to make enquiries of all of its concert parties in advance of the release of this Announcement. Therefore, all relevant details in respect of Unikmind's concert parties will be included in the Opening Position Disclosure in accordance with Rule 8.1(a) and Note 2(a)(i) on Rule 8 of the Code.

16 General

The Offer will be made subject to the Conditions and further terms set out in APPENDIX I to this Announcement and to be set out in the Offer Document. The bases and sources of certain financial information contained in this Announcement are set out in APPENDIX II to this Announcement. Certain terms used in this Announcement are defined in APPENDIX III to this Announcement.

Unikmind reserves the right, with the consent of the Panel and Kape, to elect to implement the acquisition of the Kape Shares by way of a scheme of arrangement of Kape under section 157 of the IoM Companies Act. In such event, the scheme of arrangement will be implemented on substantially the same terms, so far as applicable, as those which would apply to the Offer, subject to appropriate amendments (including to statutory voting requirements) to reflect the change in method of implementing the Offer.

Forward Looking Statements

This document (including information incorporated by reference in this document), oral statements made regarding the Offer, and other information published by Kape, Unikmind or any member of the Wider Unikmind 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 Unikmind, any member of the Wider Unikmind 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. The forward looking statements contained in this document relate to Unikmind, any member of the Wider Unikmind Group or, following the acquisition of Kape, the enlarged group's future prospects, developments and business strategies, the expected timing and scope of the Offer and other statements other than historical facts. In some cases, these forward looking statements can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology, including the terms "believes", "estimates", "will look to", "would look to", "plans", "prepares", "anticipates", "expects", "is expected to", "is subject to", "intends", "may", "will", "shall" or "should" or their negatives or other variations or comparable terminology. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that shall occur in the future. These events and circumstances include 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 disposals. If any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialises or if any one or more of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those expected, estimated or projected.

Offer for Kape Technologies plc

1 Introduction

2 The Offer

3 Background to and reasons for the Offer

Interactions between Unikmind and the Kape Board

Following a short and focussed due diligence exercise that was concluded on 13 January 2023, Unikmind submitted a further, improved offer of the US$ equivalent of 285 pence per share, which formed the basis of this Offer. The Kape Board has not yet set out their opinion on the Offer.

Unikmind is hopeful that, following discussions with Kape Shareholders stemming from this Offer, the Kape Board will recommend that Kape Shareholders accept the Offer.

Important related matters

There is no guarantee that Unikmind will choose to follow this route and indeed Unikmind may choose not to support the payment of future cash distributions, resulting in remaining Kape Shareholders receiving no further cash distributions from the Company in respect of future financial periods.

The expectation that a Possible Facilities Repayment Distribution may be paid in the circumstances in which it may become payable as set out above is not a post-offer undertaking for the purposes of Rule 19.5 of the Code.

4 Information on Unikmind

5 Information on Kape

6 Unikmind's intentions regarding Kape's business, management and employees

Unikmind confirms that, following completion of the Offer, the existing employment rights, including pension rights, of the employees of Kape will be fully safeguarded in accordance with applicable law.

Unikmind does not intend to make any changes to the existing employer pension contribution arrangements, the accrual of pension benefits for existing members or the rights of admission of new members.
