9/2025 Disclosure of delayed confidential information regarding the Wyborcza sp. z o.o. commencement of negotiations concerning the conclusion of an agreement for the provision of printing services

Regulatory filing

On the basis of Article. 17 sec. 1 and 4 of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on market abuse (regulation on market abuse) and repealing Directive 2003/6 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission directive 2003 / 124 / EC, 2003/125 / EC and 2004/72 / EC ("MAR"), the Management Board of Agora SA ("Agora") ("Management Board") hereby discloses confidential information, that was delayed on January 13, 2025, on the initiation by Wyborcza sp. z o.o. – Agora’s subsidiary of negotiations concerning the conclusion of an agreement for the provision of printing services (“Confidential Information”)(“Negotiations”).

Contents of the delayed Confidential Information:

The Management Board of Agora S.A. with its seat in Warsaw (“Company”) hereby informs that on January 13, 2025, the Company received information concerning the initiation by Agora’s subsidiary – Wyborcza sp. z o.o. with its registered seat in Warsaw, of negotiations concerning the conclusion of an agreement for the provision of printing services.

The commencement of the negotiations described above does not mean that they will end with the establishment of final conditions or conclusion of the negotiated agreement.

The company will inform in a separate regulatory filing about the possible finalization of negotiations, the terms of the agreement and the signing of the relevant documents.

Reasons for delaying the transfer of Confidential Information to the public:

In the opinion of the Management Board, the delay in disclosure of the above Confidential Information met the conditions set out in the MAR and the guidelines of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) regarding the delay in disclosure of confidential information and interactions with prudential supervision of April 13, 2022 ("ESMA Guidelines") at the time of the decision on delay.

In the Management Board's opinion, the immediate disclosure of Confidential Information generated the risk of a negative impact on the course and outcome of the Negotiations, and the probability of its conclusion.

The above could, in particular, result in obtaining conditions worse than in the case of keeping the information confidential, and even the lack of successful completion of the Negotiations in future. In the opinion of the Management Board, the above premises meet the criteria for the possibility of infringement of the legally legitimate interest of the issuer specified in point 5.1.10a of the ESMA Guidelines.

Due to the unpredictable outcome of the negotiations, the Management Board decided that publication of the Confidential Information to the public could result in inappropriate assessment of this information and its potential impact on the Company's value by the public.

The Company also took and implemented measures necessary to keep Confidential Information confidential, until it was made public, in particular by implementing, at the level of the Capital Group of the Company, the internal circulation and information protection procedure. At the time of the decision to delay disclosure of the Confidential Information, pursuant to Art. 18 MAR, a list of persons having access to Confidential Information was prepared, which was monitored on an ongoing basis and updated as necessary.

According to art. 17 sec. 4 MAR, immediately after the publication of this report, the Company will inform the Polish Financial Supervision Authority about the delay of disclosure of the Confidential Information together with an indication of the fulfillment of the reasons for such delay.

Legal basis: Art. 17 sec. 1 and par. 4 of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on market abuse (regulation on market abuse) and repealing Directive 2003/6 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Directive 2003/124 / EC, 2003/125 / EC and 2004/72 / EC - confidential information.
