Press release - Paris, November 27^th, 2025

Update on shareholding structure
Share sale project

SMCP was informed today of the initiation of a process to sell SMCP shares representing up to 51.2% of its share capital. This process will be managed by Lazard Frères. The affected SMCP shares include:

• a 28.0% stake held by GLAS, trustee for the bonds issued in 2018 by European TopSoho S.à.r.l. (“ETS”), which GLAS took temporary possession of in 2021 following ETS's default;
  
  
• a 15.5% stake, returned in August 2025, held and managed by ETS¹; the curator having obtained an authorization from the Luxembourg Court on November 21^st, 2025; and
  
  
• a 7.7% stake held by ETS, which is being managed by Alastair Beveridge and Daniel Imison from Alix Partners LLP, appointed as Receivers by GLAS
  
  

SMCP welcomes this potential sale, which would enable the Group to stabilize its shareholder structure and focus on pursuing its development strategy.

This sale process is expected to last several months. It should be noted that if the stake acquired in this context were to exceed 30% of the company's share capital, the purchaser of this stake (acting alone or in concert) may be required to initiate a public tender offer for all SMCP shares. At this stage, however, there is no certainty that the process will be successful, and the final decision on the sale remains with the holders of the aforementioned shareholdings.
