Through a series of transactions, System1 has combined with Trebia, and Trebia has changed its name to “System1, Inc.” as of the closing date. Beginning on January 28, 2022, System1’s common stock is expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “SST.”

System1 brings to the NYSE a leading digital marketer that delivers high-intent customers to advertising partners and its own subscription products utilizing its omnichannel and omnivertical Responsive Acquisition Marketing Platform (RAMP). System1’s RAMP technology allows it to build brands with reach, develop and distribute a suite of privacy-focused products and deliver high-intent customers to its advertising partners.

System1’s management team, led by Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder Michael Blend, will continue to lead the combined company, while Trebia’s Co-Founders William P. Foley II and Frank Martire Jr will join the combined company’s Board of Directors.

“I would like to thank the Trebia team for their hard work in providing us the vehicle to start System1’s next chapter as a public company,” commented Chief Executive Officer Michael Blend. “In a market where it is difficult to find value, System1 presents a unique opportunity to invest in a rapidly-growing and high cash flow-generating technology company at what we believe is an attractive valuation. We have built a fantastic team, and our RAMP technology is accelerating our business across customer acquisition and subscriptions.”

William P. Foley II, Chairman of Cannae, commented, “We are proud to partner with System1 and look forward to supporting this exciting new chapter for the company. With its proprietary RAMP technology and unique value proposition, we’re confident that System1 will continue to expand its position as a leading digital advertising company. We are excited to see System1 enter its next phase of growth, now with added capital resources.”
