First Quarter of Fiscal 2027 Highlights:
Sangoma to be Acquired by BRC Group Holdings, Inc.
On September 28, 2026, Sangoma announced that it had entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with BRC Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RILY) (“BRC”), pursuant to which an affiliate of BRC will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the “Common Shares”) of the Company (the “Transaction”). At the time of the announcement, the Transaction valued Sangoma at an enterprise value of approximately US$204 million (C$289 million).
Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, shareholders will receive, for each Common Share held, US$4.925 in cash and 0.04767 of a share of common stock of BRC. Based on the 20-day volume weighted average price of BRC’s common stock on the NASDAQ as of September 28, 2026, the consideration implied a value of US$5.225 (C$7.40) per Common Share, representing premiums of approximately 47% and 51% to the closing price and 10-day volume weighted average price, respectively, of the Common Shares on the TSX as of September 28, 2026. Upon completion of the Transaction, Sangoma shareholders will collectively hold approximately 4% of the issued and outstanding pro forma BRC common stock. Upon closing of the Transaction, the Company intends to apply to delist the Common Shares from the TSX and NASDAQ and to cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws.

Non-IFRS Measures and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures
This press release contains references to non-IFRS measures. These measures are used by management to evaluate the performance of the Company and do not have any meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other reporting issuers. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with alternative measures of our operating performance and liquidity and thus highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures to compare issuers. Management also uses non-IFRS measures to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, the preparation of annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of executive compensation. The non-IFRS measures referred to in this press release include “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Free Cash Flow”.
“Adjusted EBITDA” means earnings before income taxes, interest expense (net), share-based compensation, depreciation (including for right-of-use assets), amortization, restructuring and business integration costs, goodwill impairment, change in fair value of consideration payable and loss on sale divestiture of subsidiary.
The IFRS measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA presented in our financial statements is net income (loss).
