This announcement contains forward-looking statements. These statements are made under the "safe harbor" provisions of
the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include but are not limited to
management quotes and our financial outlook. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "will," "estimate," "project," "predict," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "potential," "plan," "goal" and similar statements. We may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in our periodic reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), in our annual report to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by our officers, directors or employees to third parties. Such statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking
statements and, consequently, could be affected by the uncertain and unprecedented impact of COVID-19 on our business
and operations and the related impact on our liquidity needs. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about: the impact of the spread of COVID-19 and related mitigation efforts on our business, operations and operating results; our goals and strategies, including following the completion of the sale of the IRONMAN Group; the expected growth in our industry; our expectations regarding our ability to attract rights-in partners and monetize their rights through rights-out arrangements; changes in consumer behavior and consumer and corporate spending, including as a result of the COVID-19 crisis; our ability to reach acceptable levels of engagement with our athletes following the COVID-19 crisis; our future business development, results of operations and financial condition; competition in our industry; general economic and business conditions, including as a result of the COVID-19 crisis; and assumptions underlying or related to any of the foregoing as well as risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in our registration statement on Form F-1, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Additional information will be made available in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 and other filings that we make from time to time with the SEC.
In addition, any forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable as of this date. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

- Reimbursement revenues represent revenue that has associated costs of a similar, generally matching, amount (reimbursement costs), thereby resulting in a negligible gross margin impact. The negligible gross margin impact from reimbursement revenues and reimbursement costs (as opposed to a zero gross margin impact as may be otherwise expected) is due to temporary timing differences mainly resulting from foreign exchange effects on invoice settlements
- EBITDA adjustments include: (1) Goodwill impairment loss, (2)Share-based compensation, (3) Expenses or charges relating to acquisitions, (4) Expenses or charges relating to IPO or financing, (5) Restructure and disposal of investments / subsidiaries, (6) Profit or loss from termination of certain rights-in partners following their insolvency, (7) Change in fair value of investments, (8) Bad debt expenses reflecting expected credit losses in trade account receivables that we had outstanding from a sports marketing and media rights firm (MP & Silva) as well as contract assets, as a result of the initiation of MP & Silva's insolvency process and (9) Losses on foreign exchange and derivatives, and other financial charges, and (10) Compensation offered to affected clients for fraudulent activities presumably undertaken by a form senior employee of one of the Group's subsidiaries, which only relates to 1Q2019
