Paris, February 27th, 2024 - JCDecaux SE (Euronext Paris: DEC), the number one outdoor advertising company worldwide, confirms that it has entered into an agreement with Pargesa Asset Management S.A., to evaluate an intended coordinated disposal of their stakes in APG|SGA of 30% and 25.3% respectively, following the announcement today of APG|SGA that its Board of Directors has decided to initiate a process which aims at finding a potential acquirer for the entire company.
