RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

At the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of the shareholders of Brait held today in Malta, resolutions tabled were as
per the agenda in the AGM notice circulated to shareholders on 8 July 2019. The Brait Board ("Board") was in full
attendance at the AGM.

Ordinary resolutions 1 - 3 and 5(a), together with extraordinary resolution 4, were approved by the requisite
majority of votes.

Extraordinary resolution 5(b) relating to the renewal of the Board's authority to withdraw statutory pre-emption
rights did not pass, achieving a 72.4% vote in favour relative to the required 75%.

Taking into account ongoing input from various shareholders, the Board took the decision prior to the AGM to
withdraw resolution number 6 relating to the approval of the Equity Ownership Plan.

Brait's total issued share capital is 525,599,215 ordinary shares. The total number of shares legally eligible to
vote at the AGM, which excludes the 17,475,070 treasury shares held, is therefore 508,124,145 ordinary shares. This
represents the legal base for determining the minimum 51% threshold (259,143,314 ordinary shares) required in order
for extraordinary resolutions 4 and 5(b) to be voted on.

Note 2:
Brait Mauritius Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary in the Brait Group, voluntarily elected not to vote the
36,616,189 shares held by it. Therefore, the maximum number of shares that could be represented and eligible to vote
