Press Release of Believe’s Board of
Directors
Paris, 25 March 2024 – Believe has noted
the position of the AMF in its 22 March 2024 letter to the
Chairperson of the Believe Ad-Hoc Committee, stating that the
waiver of the Board Condition (as defined in the Ad-Hoc Committee
press release issued on 11 March 2024) to the offer extended by a
consortium formed by the EQT X fund, funds advised by TCV, and Mr
Denis Ladegaillerie (together, the “Consortium”) was not compliant
with the principles governing tender offers.
In its press release dated 7 March 2024, Warner
Music Group (“WMG”) had publicly announced its interest with
respect to a potential combination of WMG and Believe, where WMG
could value Believe at a price of at least €17/share, coupon
attached.
In light of this set of circumstances, the Board
of Directors of Believe (with only its independent board members
participating in the deliberation and in the vote) has determined
to invite WMG to submit a binding, unconditional and fully financed
offer (the “Binding Offer”) for Believe. To this effect, Believe
has agreed to provide WMG with access to a data room including a
level of information consistent with the information provided to
the Consortium, subject to appropriate confidentiality
undertaking.
The Board of Directors has requested that WMG submits its
Binding Offer no later than 7 April 2024.
