EQS-Adhoc: Correction of a release from 10/01/2025, 18:18 CET/CEST - Ströer confirms discussions with interested parties regarding Ströer's core assets

Cologne, January 10, 2025. We have noted recent market rumors regarding a potential sale of Ströer’s core assets. We confirm that we received indicative offers from private equity investors regarding a potential purchase of Ströer’s out of home advertising business and digital content business. The indicative offers have significantly exceeded Ströer’s current market capitalization. On such basis, we have been conducting open-ended discussions. No terms and conditions of a potential transaction, including the potential purchase price, have yet been agreed upon. Discussions are ongoing which may or may not result in a purchase agreement. Furthermore, the conclusion of such a purchase agreement would require the approval of Ströer’s General Meeting.

There has been no change in Ströer’s published strategy of value crystallization against the background of an increasing gap of market capitalisation and the intrinsic value of the business. Therefore, the management board remains focussed on identifying the optimum implementation mode for the strategy which also includes assessing unsolicited offers for the core business such as the ones recently received. Should the current discussions lead to a transaction, Udo Müller would continue to hold an interest in the business unit and continue to manage it unchanged.

We will keep our shareholders informed of further developments in an appropriate manner and in accordance with our legal obligations.
