Response to AMF Decision on Exchange Offer for SFR Group Shares Amsterdam & Paris, 4 October 2016 - Altice NV (Euronext: ATCA, ATCB) has taken note of the decision of the French securities regulator, the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), to oppose the public exchange offer for its subsidiary SFR Group announced on 5 September 2016.

The Altice Group regrets this decision, which goes against the interests of both companies, their shareholders and employees.

The Altice group notes that the board of directors of SFR Group unanimously recommended the voluntary offer and that the independent expert concluded that the offer was fair to minority shareholders. As a result of the AMF decision, the offer is terminated, but Altice reserves the right to file an appeal with the Court of Appeal of Paris against the decision of the AMF, which it believes was made in breach of applicable stock market regulations.

Altice, an international group listed on the Amsterdam stock exchange and SFR group's controlling shareholder, confirms that its industrial strategy and its plans for growth in France and abroad remain unchanged.

Amsterdam et Paris, le 4 octobre 2016 - Altice a pris acte de la décision de l'Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), de s'opposer à l'offre publique d'échange sur sa filiale SFR Group annoncée le 5 septembre 2016.

Le groupe Altice regrette cette décision qui va à l'encontre des intérêts des deux sociétés, de leurs actionnaires et de leurs collaborateurs.

Le groupe Altice rappelle que l'offre volontaire avait fait l'objet d'une recommandation unanime du conseil d'administration de SFR Group et que l'expert indépendant avait conclu au caractère équitable de l'offre pour les actionnaires minoritaires. L'offre est donc caduque mais le groupe Altice se réserve le droit de déposer un recours devant la Cour d'Appel de Paris à l'encontre de la décision de l'AMF qu'elle estime contraire à la réglementation boursière applicable.

Altice, groupe international coté à la bourse d'Amsterdam, actionnaire de contrôle de SFR Group, confirme que sa stratégie industrielle et son projet de croissance, en France et à l'international demeurent inchangés.
