Press release CANAL+ SA (LSE : CAN) Issy-les-Moulineaux, 19 December 2025 This announcement contains Inside Information       CANAL+ announces resolution to its dispute with the French tax authorities regarding the VAT rate applicable to the Group's services   CANAL+ (LSE: CAN, the "Company", the "Group") announced today that it has reached a settlement with the French tax authorities, resolving the dispute related to the VAT rate applicable to television subscriptions.   This agreement follows the clarifications published by the tax authorities in September 2025, as well as the work jointly carried out on the definition and operational terms of catch-up television at Canal+.   In this context, VAT applies at a reduced rate on television subscription services. The Company believes that future related tax audits for subsequent years should not result in any significant additional adjustments. The Company has therefore decided not to make any additional provision in its accounts in this respect.   The total amount to which the Group has committed amounts to €363 million. The payment schedule for this sum will be defined at a later date.   For further enquiries please contact:
