System1 rebuffs Brave Bison's revised takeover approach again

System1 Group's board reiterated its unanimous rejection of Brave Bison's revised proposal, arguing it undervalues a business reporting record H2 revenue.

System1 Group (AIM:SYS1), the AIM-listed research and behavioural science advertising testing group, restated its unequivocal rejection of Brave Bison's possible offer.

The board said the revised proposal, despite Brave Bison citing a 65% premium to the undisturbed share price, includes no notable premium for control, as would be customary in a public takeover.

System1's Final Results, released 8 July, confirmed record second-half revenue and new business performance, alongside an increased proposed final dividend.

The outlook statement pointed to continued strong new business activity into FY27, a broader customer base and a clear pathway to sustainable growth.

The board said the revised proposal fails to reflect that positive outlook.
