Completion of the sale of Vivendi's festival and international ticketing
activities to CTS EVENTIM

Paris/Munich, 6 June 2024 - CTS EVENTIM, a leading international provider of
ticketing services and live entertainment, and Vivendi, a global leader in
culture, entertainment, media and communications, today announced that they
have completed the sale of Vivendi's festival and international ticketing
activities. A put option agreement was signed on 2 April 2024.

The total enterprise value of the transaction is approximately EUR300 million.

Vivendi's ticketing and festival activities acquired by CTS EVENTIM
collectively produced EUR137 million in revenues in 2023. The ticketing
business generated roughly EUR105 million of that, with an EBITDA of EUR26
million. The UK market was responsible for the largest share of the
revenues, followed by the US market. The festival business part of the
current deal generated an additional EUR32 million in revenues.

This transaction offers new development opportunities to Vivendi's festival
portfolio and See Tickets' international activities while ensuring maximum
continuity for all their partners. It supports CTS EVENTIM's
internationalization strategy and will benefit artists and their managers by
offering even more seamless services on a global scale.

Vivendi's performance hall activities, including L'Olympia in Paris, as well
as See Tickets France and Brive Festival, are not part of this agreement.
