Minutes of the annual and extraordinary general meeting of Roularta Media Group

The general and extraordinary general meeting of Roularta Media Group NV (RMG) of 19 May 2026 approved all items on the agendas of the general meeting and the extraordinary general meeting.

In particular, the figures for the financial year ending on 31 December 2025 and the proposal not to distribute a dividend were approved.

The authorisations granted to the board of directors in the context of the authorised capital and the buy-back of own shares were renewed.

The general meeting also approved the appointments and reappointments of the following directors: Mr Hendrik De Nolf, Ms Lieve Claeys, NV Koinon, represented by its permanent representative Mr Xavier Bouckaert, Mr Rik Vanpeteghem, BV P.Company, permanently represented by Ms Pascale Sioen, and finally BV Invest At Value, permanently represented by Mr Koen Dejonckheere. The co-optation of BV LDN Business as director, permanently represented by Mr Louis De Nolf, was confirmed by the general meeting.

Following the general meeting, the outlook for 2026, as previously communicated in the press release on the 2025 results, was largely confirmed.

Based on the trend in the first months of 2026, RMG confirms that the structural downward pressure on advertising revenues continues. Advertisers’ behaviour remains volatile and difficult to predict. A negative development in the economic climate and the continuation of the conflict in Iran could have a negative impact on spending by advertisers and consumers.

Roularta Media Group’s digital strategy is bearing fruit. Digital channels are successfully generating more subscriptions. In 2026, RMG will continue to focus on acquiring and retaining print, digital and family subscriptions, as well as on entering into partnerships with strategic partners, with a view to achieving stable and sustainable revenue.

Newsstand sales are evolving in line with the market trend, which continues to decline in both Belgium and the Netherlands. Roularta Media Group expects revenue from line extensions and events to remain stable. RMG also expects stable revenue in 2026 for the Printing Services segment.

Given the new substantial indexation, distribution costs will once again have a significant impact in 2026. Otherwise, RMG expects stable to slightly increasing costs for energy and raw materials.
Roularta Media Group continues to focus on efficiency measures to take into account the ongoing uncertainty caused by conflicts, including those in Ukraine and the Middle East.

The international context is exerting constant pressure on the economic climate and, consequently, also on spending by advertisers and consumers. As a result, a further negative impact on advertising revenues cannot be excluded. Nor can it be excluded that certain costs of raw and auxiliary materials will increase. Given the uncertainty regarding the duration of the conflicts and/or their possible escalation and expansion, Roularta Media Group is unable to make any statements about the potential impact on revenue and costs in the medium term.

In 2026, RMG will also continue to invest in sustainability, market leadership, multimedia brands, technology and talent.
