• – RTL Group will buy back 3.17 million own shares at €37.85 per share
• – Settlement anticipated to take place on 17 September 2025

Luxembourg, 15 September 2025 – RTL Group today announced the final results of its public share buyback offer pursuant to the offer document dated 3 September 2025, published on RTL Group’s website.

Upon expiry of the acceptance period on 12 September 2025, 16:00 (CEST), 3,166,052 RTL Group shares have been validly tendered within the purchase price range of €30.85 to €37.85 per share.

RTL Group has decided to accept valid tenders in accordance with the offer document for all 3,166,052 shares (the “Final Offer Volume”).

Accordingly, the final purchase price is set at €37.85 per share, being the price within the given price range at which RTL Group can, based on the tenders received, purchase the Final Offer Volume.

In line with the terms of the offer, settlement is anticipated to take place on 17 September 2025, when RTL Group will pay the price against delivery of the shares.

In accordance with the irrevocable undertaking by Bertelsmann and the terms and conditions, including the allocation and pro-rata allocation rules set out in the offer document, RTL Group will purchase all 2,000,000 shares validly tendered by Bertelsmann (which are included in the total of 3,166,052 shares to be purchased).

The share buyback allows RTL Group to build a portfolio of treasury shares which it can use to fully or partially settle the potential variable consideration for the acquisition of Sky Deutschland, or as compensation for other future acquisitions.

Hence RTL Group intends to continue its share buyback, up to an additional volume of around 0.8 million shares, through open-market transactions. This would bring the total volume of the share buyback up to 4 million shares, which was the initial target of the public share buyback offer.
