Luxembourg/Cologne, 13 May 2026 – As previously announced, RTL Group launches an additional share buyback programme today, for a volume of ~0.5 million RTL Group shares, through open-market transactions.

The share buyback programme will start on 13 May 2026 and end on 31 December 2026 at the latest. An additional volume of up to 483,180 RTL Group shares may be acquired through open-market transactions, for a maximum amount of €15.94 million (corresponding to a maximum purchase price of €33.00 per share). 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.

On 27 June 2025, RTL Group announced the acquisition of Sky Deutschland (DACH). The purchase price consists of €150 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments, and a variable consideration linked to RTL Group’s share price performance. The variable consideration can be triggered by Comcast, Sky’s parent company, at any time within five years after closing, provided that RTL Group’s share price exceeds €41, subject to certain adjustments. The variable consideration is capped at €377 million in total. RTL Group has the right to settle the variable consideration in RTL Group shares or cash or a combination of both.

Share buybacks allow 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. From 3 September 2025 to 11 March 2026, RTL Group bought a total volume of 3,516,820 shares.

The share buyback programme will be carried out by a bank, which will make its trading decisions concerning the timing of the purchases of the shares independently of and without any influence from RTL Group.
