Paris, 8 July 2019
Arnaud Lagardère confirmed the Group’ strategic refocusing at the Annual General Meeting in May 2019.
Lagardère is currently in the process of evaluating the strategic options for the sale of all or part of Lagardère Sports.
During this process, Lagardère may have to grant short-term exclusivity periods to potential buyers in order for them to address specific issues or due diligence matters.
At this stage of the process, nothing is precise enough to be disclosed. Should it be the case, Lagardère would duly inform the market.
Lagardère is not commenting on the rumours about specific partners such as Wasserman or Endeavor, which are established and esteemed players of this industry.
Lagardère is not commenting on figures either.
