This purchase strengthens the EMG Group's portfolio of activities
in the field of graphic illustration and playout in Italy. In
particular, EBD has provided all graphics, virtual offside and
statistical services on behalf of Serie A since 2015. In addition,
EBD has managed the playout of the Inter Milan channel since 2016, as
well as producing highlights on behalf of Mediaset for more than 10
years.

The acquisition of EBD fits perfectly within the strategy pursued
by EMG, which already provides graphic illustration services in
France, Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as a playout service
based around two operational centres in Italy and Belgium.

EBD will continue to operate as an independent brand, in order to
ensure continuity of service for its clients. EBD's team and autonomy
will be maintained, and the company will retain its independence
under the leadership of its CEO and founder Renato Pizzamiglio.

Patrick Van Den Berg, CEO of EMG, said, "I am delighted with this
agreement. EBD is a market-leader in Italy. Its acquisition
strengthens our presence in Europe in the graphic illustration and
playout markets, and it enables us to position ourselves more than
ever as a service provider that can offer the most accomplished
multimedia solutions throughout Europe."

Renato Pizzamiglio, CEO of EBD, added: "We were looking for a
structure that could help us with the strong growth that we are
experiencing. This has now been achieved by joining the EMG Group, an
undisputed leader in the field of technical and audiovisual services
in Europe."
