Paris, August 20, 2025 - Amar Family Office and JCDecaux SE (Euronext Paris: DEC), the number one outdoor advertising company worldwide, are pleased to announce the purchase of a block of 1.7 million JCDecaux SE shares. The purchase was made at a price of €14.75 per share, representing a discount of 0.6% compared to the closing price on August 14, 2025, and corresponding to 0.8% of the capital of JCDecaux SE.

 As part of this transaction:

• Amar Family Office, through its subsidiary Holgespar Luxembourg SA, purchased 873,491 shares, representing 0.408% of the company's capital;
• JCDecaux SE also purchased 873,491 of its own shares for a total amount of 12.9 million euros, thus increasing its treasury shares to 0.475% of the capital.

This buyback by JCDecaux SE is part of the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on May 14, 2025, allowing the company to repurchase up to 10% of its capital. The acquired shares will be specifically used for the distribution of performance shares as part of an existing long-term incentive plan, or to partially finance future M&A.

We strongly believe in the strength of its business model, in its growth strategy, notably driven by the founding family for over 60 years, and in its ability to create sustainable value.
