Publication of Supplementary Prospectus

Further to the announcement by CANAL+ SA (the "Company" or "CANAL+") on 30 October 2024 regarding the publication of a prospectus in relation to the admission of the Company's ordinary shares ("Admission") to the equity shares (commercial companies) category of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities (the "Prospectus"), the Company has published a supplementary prospectus (the "Supplementary Prospectus").

The Supplementary Prospectus incorporates by reference MultiChoice's consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2024 and also includes information on a contemplated extension in the scope of responsibilities of two members of the Management Board; updated UK tax disclosure following the UK Autumn Budget; and the following trend information:

The Company expects revenue growth for the financial year ending 31 December 2024 to be broadly in line with that of the year ended 31 December 2023. The Group's revenues for the year ending 31 December 2025 are expected to grow organically but this growth will be negatively affected and slightly more than offset by (i) the anticipated end of broadcasting of its French free to air channel C8 and (ii) the termination of sublicensing contracts and of onerous third party content contracts in France. In the medium term and at constant scope of consolidation, revenues are expected to grow moderately.

In the medium term the Company expects Adjusted EBIT (EBITA)* margin at constant scope of consolidation to continue to improve moderately as a result of cost optimisation, operating leverage and the expected transition to profitability of newly-integrated assets transferred from Vivendi.

Cash flow from operations ("CFFO") is projected by the Company to return in 2025 to a level similar to that of 2023 after an exceptional low level of CFFO in 2024, negatively impacted by working capital effects in the second half of 2024, due to an exceptional concentration of payments following recent content contract renewals and signatures and potential non-recurring payments in respect of proposed tax adjustments.

The potential finalisation of the pending MCG control acquisition would significantly impact the financial profile of the Group in the medium-term in Africa and overall, adding a revenue growth engine while providing potential significant cost synergies.

* (excluding non-recurring items)

The Prospectus and Supplementary Prospectus can be accessed on the Company's website at https://www.canalplusgroup.com/en/essentials/spin-off.

The completion of the Partial Demerger is still subject to, among other things, approval by Vivendi SE shareholders at a meeting to be convened on 9 December 2024.

A copy of the Supplementary Prospectus has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection, together with the Prospectus, at

https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

It is expected that the Partial Demerger will be completed and that the Company's ordinary shares will be admitted to the equity shares (commercial companies) category of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market at 08.00am (London time) on 16 December 2024.
