The Company has taken note of the acceleration, announced on December 9, 2021, of the process for the acquisition by Vivendi SE of Amber Capital’s stake and the launch of a mandatory public offering as a result. This process had already been announced on September 15.

In accordance with current regulations, the Board of Directors, which will meet on December 17, 2021, will set up an ad hoc committee from among its members and will then appoint an independent expert on the proposal of the committee. In light notably of this expert’s report, the Board of Directors will, in due course, issue a reasoned opinion on this proposed offer, which will be included in the Company’s offer document filed with the French financial markets authority (Autorité des marchés financiers).
