#1Forbes A Global Powerhouse For 104 Years & Growing#2Disclaimer Forbes This investor presentation (this "Presentation") is for informational purposes with respect to the proposed business combination (the "Business Combination") among Magnum Opus Acquisition Limited ("Magnum Opus"), Forbes Global Holdings Inc. and Forbes Global Media Holdings Inc. (together with their direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates, the "Company"). No Offer or Solicitation This Presentation does not constitute (i) a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed Business Combination or (ii) an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation to purchase any security of Magnum Opus, the Company, or any of their respective affiliates, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Important Information The information contained herein does not purport to be all-inclusive and none of Magnum Opus, the Company or their respective affiliates makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness or reliability of the information contained in this Presentation. Neither Magnum Opus, the Company, nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, advisors, directors, officers, employees, partners, representatives and shareholders shall have any liability whatsoever, under contract, tort, trust or otherwise, to you or any person resulting from the use of the information in this Presentation or for omissions from the information in this Presentation. We reserve the right to amend or replace the information contained herein, in part or entirely, at any time, and undertakes no obligation to provide you with access to the amended information or to notify you thereof. Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements in this Presentation may be considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Magnum Opus's or the Company's future financial or operating performance. For example, projections of tax benefits, future financial and other metrics are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "expect", "intend", "will", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "predict", "potential" or "continue", or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Magnum Opus and its management, and the Company and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of negotiations and any subsequent definitive agreements with respect to the Business Combination; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Magnum Opus, the combined company or others following the announcement of the Business Combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; (3) the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Magnum Opus, to obtain financing to complete the Business Combination or to satisfy other conditions to closing; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Business Combination; (5) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; (6) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Magnum Opus or the Company as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (7) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (8) costs related to the Business Combination; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the possibility that the Company or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (11) the Company's estimates of expenses and profitability; and (12) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in Magnum Opus's final prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated March 23, 2021 and the risks described below under "Certain Risks Applicable to the Company." Readers are cautioned that this list of factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Nothing in this Presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward- looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither Magnum Opus nor the Company undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements. 2#3Disclaimer Non-GAAP Financial Measures Forbes This Presentation includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") including, but not limited to, EBITDA and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company's financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company's presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The Company believes that the use of these non- GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in and in comparing the Company's financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to footnotes where presented on each page of this Presentation or to the appendix found at the end of this Presentation for a reconciliation of these measures to what the Company believes are the most directly comparable measure evaluated in accordance with GAAP. This Presentation also includes certain projections of non-GAAP financial measures. Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included. Use of Projections This Presentation contains financial forecasts with respect to the Company's projected financial results, including revenues, contribution margin, EBITDA and operating cash flow and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom, for the Company's fiscal years 2021 through 2022 and from 2023 onward. The Company's independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. These projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future performance of the Company or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved. Industry and Market Data In this Presentation, Magnum Opus and the Company rely on and refer to certain information and statistics obtained from third-party sources which they believe to be reliable. Neither Magnum Opus nor the Company has independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such third- party information.

A list of the names of those directors and executive officers and a description of their interests in Magnum Opus is contained in Magnum Opus's final prospectus related to its initial public offering dated March 23, 2021, which was filed with the SEC and is available free of charge at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to: Magnum Opus Acquisition Limited, 15th Floor, Nexxus Building, 77 Des Voeux Road, Central, Hong Kong. Additional information regarding the interests of such participants will be contained in the proxy statement for the proposed Business Combination when available.

Certain Risks Applicable to the Company The Company is subject to a broad spectrum of risks and uncertainties that may lead to actual events, results or performance to differ materially from what is represented in this Presentation. Key risk factors include: • Risks related to the timing and likelihood of completing the Business Combination due to closing conditions not being satisfied or failure to obtain the necessary approvals from shareholders or regulators. • If the Company fails to continue to retain and grow its subscriber base, its business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. • The advertising revenue generated by the Company is affected by various factors, including economic conditions, market dynamics, audience fragmentation and evolving digital advertising trends. • The success of the Company depends on its ability to maintain the value and reputation of its brand. • The Company faces significant competition from other sources of news, information and entertainment, including both traditional and new content providers, and its success depends on its ability to compete effectively. • The international operations expose the Company to risks that could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. • Theft of the Company' content, including digital piracy, may decrease revenue and adversely affect its business and profitability. • If the Company is unable to obtain, maintain and protect its intellectual property rights, in particular trademarks and copyrights, its ability to compete could be significantly impacted. • The Company utilizes various licensing and selling models in its operations, and its success is dependent on its ability to manage these different models effectively. • The failure of licensees to adequately produce, market, import and sell products bearing the Company' trademarks in their license categories, continue their operations, renew their license agreements or fulfill their obligations under their license agreements could have an adverse effect on the Company' business, financial condition and results of operations. • The Company' content involves risks of liability claims for media content, such as defamation, invasion of privacy, negligence and copyright or trademark infringement, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition or results of operations. • The Company relies significantly on the ability of consumers to access its products through the Internet. Changes in how network operators handle and charge for access to data that travel across their networks could adversely impact the business of the Company. • The digital operations of the Company are subject to system failures. • The success of the Company depends on its ability to respond and adapt to changes in technology and consumer behavior and improve its technical infrastructure.

Cyberattacks and security breaches of the technology infrastructure of the Company or those impacting the Company' customers or third parties, could adversely impact the Company brand, reputation and its business, financial condition and results of operations. • The Company is subject to payment processing risk, which could lead to adverse effects on its business and results of operations. • The Company is subject to taxation related risks in multiple jurisdictions. Accounting and tax treatment of the Company activities in different jurisdictions may change or be uncertain. If such accounting and tax treatment changes or such activities are not properly characterized for accounting or tax purposes, the Company' financial position and results of operations could be adversely affected. • The Company may be subject to complaints from customers, litigation and regulatory investigations and proceedings from time to time. • The ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and other similar epidemics, pandemics or widespread health crises could have a material adverse effect on the Company' business, financial condition and results of operations. • Industry data, projections and estimates contained in this presentation are inherently uncertain, subject to interpretation and may not have been independently verified. The foregoing summarizes certain of the general risks related to the business of the Company, and such list is not exhaustive. The foregoing list has been prepared solely for purpose of assisting interested parties in making their own evaluation with respect to the proposed Business Combination and not for any other purpose. You should carefully consider these risks and uncertainties together with the other available information and should carry out your own diligence and consult with your own financial and legal advisors.
