BROOKFIELD ASSET MANAGEMENT ANNOUNCES RENEWAL OF NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. has received the requisite approval for the renewal of its normal course issuer bid providing the option to purchase up to 36,946,177 Class A limited voting shares, representing approximately 10 per cent of the public float of Brookfield Asset Management's outstanding Class A shares. Purchases under the bid will be made on the open market through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and/or alternative trading systems. The period of the normal course issuer bid will extend from Jan. 13, 2026, to Jan. 12, 2027, or an earlier date should Brookfield Asset Management complete its purchases. Brookfield Asset Management will pay the market price at the time of acquisition for any Class A shares purchased or such other price as may be permitted.

As at Dec. 31, 2025, the number of Class A shares issued and outstanding totalled 1,637,941,906 of which 369,461,770 shares represented the public float. The maximum daily purchase on the TSX under this bid will be 365,499 Class A shares, which is 25 per cent of 1,461,999 (the average daily trading volume for Class A shares on the TSX for the six months ended Dec. 31, 2025).

Of the 37,123,295 Class A shares approved for purchase under Brookfield Asset Management's prior normal course issuer bid that commenced on Jan. 13, 2025, and will expire on Jan. 12, 2026, Brookfield Asset Management purchased 6,548,561 Class A shares as of Dec. 31, 2025; 100,000 Class A shares through open market purchases on the TSX and 6,448,561 Class A shares through open market purchases on the NYSE and/or alternative trading systems. The weighted average price that Brookfield Asset Management paid per Class A share acquired under this bid was $54.14 (U.S.).

Brookfield Asset Management is renewing its normal course issuer bid to retain the option to acquire its Class A shares where this aligns with its investment and capital allocation strategies. All Class A shares acquired by Brookfield Asset Management under this bid will be cancelled and/or purchased by a non-independent trustee pursuant to the terms of Brookfield Asset Management's long-term incentive plans.

Brookfield Asset Management also announced that it has entered into an automatic purchase plan in relation to the normal course issuer bid. The automatic purchase plan allows for the potential purchase of Class A shares during the term of the normal course issuer bid, subject to certain trading parameters, at times when Brookfield Asset Management ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout period, insider trading rules or otherwise. Outside of these periods, Class A shares will be repurchased in accordance with management's discretion and in compliance with applicable law.
