Air France-KLM enters into a hedging transaction to protect the value of part of its stake in Amadeus

Air France-KLM has entered into a hedging transaction relating to 9,900,000 ordinary shares it holds in Amadeus IT Holding S.A., representing about half of its stake. This transaction will allow the Group to protect the value of these shares, while continuing to benefit from the potential upside on the price of its remaining shares (9.8 million shares representing approximately 2.2% of Amadeus IT Holding S.A.).

In connection with the hedging transaction, Deutsche Bank is selling 6,2 million Amadeus IT Holding S.A. shares by way of an institutional private placement.

This transaction is part of Air France-KLM risk management strategy.

Air France-KLM has agreed on a lock-up of 30 days on its remaining stake.
