EQS-Ad-hoc: Highlight Communications AG / Key word(s): Other Publication of inside information pursuant to Article 17 MAR Pratteln, 24 August 2025 Intended changes in the group structure at the level of the majority shareholder Highlight Event and Entertainment AG Highlight Event and Entertainment AG (“HLEE”), the majority shareholder of Highlight Communications AG, plans a capital increase by which a new investor, CSL Mindset Ltd., will, under certain conditions, acquire a majority stake in HLEE through an equity investment of CHF 300 million. Today, HLEE and its largest shareholders have agreed on a commitment letter (“Commitment Letter”) with CSL Mindset Ltd. (“Investor”), BVI, a company owned by the Clementy Schuman Legacy Foundation and a private investor. The Commitment Letter sets forth an equity investment by the Investor (“Committed Investment”) of CHF 300 million, corresponding to 25 million HLEE shares. The capital increase at the level of HLEE is intended to strengthen HLEE's balance sheet, increase the equity, reduce the liabilities and optimize the group structure. After the intended capital increase and depending on the take-up in a rights offering (Ausübung von Bezugsrechten), the Investor is expected to hold a majority share in HLEE. The transaction still requires that the Investor enters into a relationship and shareholders' agreement (“Relationship Agreement”), whose key terms have been pre-agreed in the Commitment Letter. The transaction will only proceed if several further conditions are met, including, among other things, the Investor providing a confirmation of sufficient funds, customary regulatory and anti-trust approvals, the required corporate approvals at the level of HLEE, as well as receipt of a satisfactory ruling from the Swiss Takeover Board confirming certain amendments of HLEE's articles of association.
