JOINT PRESS RELEASE OL Groupe - Eagle Football

Lyon, on 22 June 2023.

Eagle Football Holdings Bidco Limited (the "Offeror" or "Eagle Football"), which currently holds 80.09% of the share capital and 79.11% of the theoretical voting rights[1] of Olympique Lyonnais Groupe ("OL Groupe" or the "Company") on a non-diluted basis, has filed today a simplified cash tender offer (the "Offer") for the shares of OL Groupe, at a price of 3 euros per share.

The Offer follows the acquisition by Eagle Football of 39,201,514 OL Groupe shares and 789,824 OSRANEs at a price of 3 euros per share and 265.57 euros per OSRANE respectively, and the subscription to 28,666,666 new OL Groupe shares at a price of 3 euros per share on December 19, 2022, and is therefore mandatory.

The Offer covers all OL Groupe shares issued or to be issued in repayment of the OSRANEs, other than shares held by the Offeror, those held by Holnest (Jean-Michel Aulas' family office), which has undertaken not to tender its shares to the Offer[2], free shares which are subject to a lock-up period and treasury shares (that the Board of Directors of the Company has decided not to tender to the Offer).[3]

The Offeror does not intend to request a squeeze-out of the OL Groupe shares following the Offer[4] ; hence, OL Groupe will remain a publicly listed company.

The Board of Directors of the Company met on June 21, 2023 to deliver its reasoned opinion on the Offer, in accordance with applicable regulations. Considering (i) the Offeror's intentions as set out in the draft offer document, (ii) the work and recommendation of the Ad Hoc Committee and (iii) the conclusions of Finexsi, appointed as independent expert on June 20, 2022 (the "Independent Expert"), whose report concludes that the terms of the Offer are fair from a financial point of view for the shareholders, the Board of Directors of OL Groupe has rendered, unanimously[5], a favorable reasoned opinion on the Offer, considering that such Offer is in the interest of the Company, its shareholders and its employees.

The proposed Offer price values 100% of OL Groupe's shares at 528 million euros, and represents premiums of 56.7% on the last unaffected share price (prior to the announcement in March 2022 by Pathé and IDG of their intention to sell their stakes), 50% on the VWAP over the 60 days prior to that date, and 41.9% on the VWAP over the 6 months prior to that date.

The Board of Directors considers that the Offer is in line with shareholders' interests, considering that it offers shareholders of the Company who tender their shares to the Offer the opportunity to obtain immediate liquidity for all their shares on terms deemed fair by the Independent Expert, and to those who decide not to tender their shares to remain associated with the Company's potential in the context of its continued listing and the prospects resulting in particular from the multi-club strategy deployed by the Offeror. Consequently, the Board of Directors recommends that shareholders of the Company wishing to benefit from immediate liquidity tender their shares to the Offer.

The reasoned opinion of the Board of Directors is reproduced in full in the Company's draft note in response, which was filed concomitantly with the draft offer document with the AMF on June 22, 2023.

In accordance with articles 231-16 and 231-26 of the AMF's general regulations, the main points of the Offeror's draft offer document and of the Company's draft note in response, as well as the procedures for making such documents available, have been described in press releases issued by the Offeror and the Company respectively.

The Offeror's draft offer document and the Company's draft note in response are available in full on the websites of the AMF (www.amf-france.org) and the Company (https://investisseur.olympiquelyonnais.com/), and may be obtained free of charge from the registered office of Olympique Lyonnais Groupe at 10 avenue Simone Veil - 69150 Décines-Charpieu (Rhône).
