GENERAL MEETING OF THE SHAREHOLDERS OF COFINA, SGPS, S.A.

TO BE HELD AT THE REGISTERED OFFICE, ON 26 OCTOBER 2023, AT 11:00 A.M.

PROPOSAL FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS REGARDING

ITEM ONE OF THE AGENDA

(APPROVAL OF THE SALE OF ALL THE SHARES REPRESENTING THE SHARE CAPITAL AND VOTING RIGHTS OF ITS WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY, COFINA MEDIA, S.A., UNDER ITEM THREE OR ITEM FOUR OR ITEM FIVE OF THE AGENDA)

The Board of Directors of COFINA, SGPS, S.A. (the "Company") hereby presents the following to the Shareholders of the Company:

  1. due to its nature as a holding company, the Company must constantly evaluate all business opportunities that may increase the value of its assets;
  2. as is of public knowledge, the Company has received two binding offers for the acquisition of all the shares representing the share capital (the "Shares") of Cofina Media, S.A. (the "Cofina Media"), namely: (a) one subscribed by (i) members of Cofina Media's management team, (ii) its senior management and (iii) a group of investors, namely: Luís Santana, Ana Dias, Octávio Ribeiro, Isabel Rodrigues, Carlos Rodrigues, Luís Ferreira, Carlos Cruz, Cristiano Ronaldo, Domingos Vieira de Matos, Paulo Fernandes and João Borges de Oliveira (the "MBO"); and (b) another subscribed by Grupo Media Capital, SGPS, S.A. (the "Media Capital");
  3. as disclosed in a timely manner by the Company through the announcements to the market, disclosed through the CMVM Information Disclosure System (Sistema de Divulgação da CMVM), dated 30 June 2023, 17 July 2023, 21 July 2023, 28 July 2023 and 15 September 2023, the content of which is presumed to be known to the Shareholders, and summarised in the report prepared by the Company's Board of Directors, which is attached to this resolution proposal as Annex I, the Company has negotiated with both bidders the contractual and commercial conditions relating to a potential sale of the Shares in Cofina Media, and these negotiations have

culminated in the presentation, on 15 September 2023, of revised best and final offers, both as regards the consideration offered for the Cofina Media's Shares and the respective contractual conditions, by MBO and Media Capital (the "BAFOs"), which are available to the Shareholders at the Company's registered office as of the date of publication of the notice;

  1. as detailed in the report prepared by the Company's Board of Directors (Annex I), the Company's Board of Directors believes that both the BAFOs are in the Company's best interests, namely from the perspective of enhancing its value for the Shareholders, based, in particular, on the value study of Cofina Media prepared by Ernst & Young, as an independent expert, which is attached to this proposal as Annex II;
  2. on the one hand, the Shareholders may take a different view to that set out in the immediately preceding point, not considering that the sale of the Shares in Cofina Media, under the conditions set out in the BAFOs, is in the Company's best interests, but understanding that they should be sold under the terms of any alternative proposal, in accordance with Point Five of the agenda, in which case they should vote in favour of this proposed resolution;
  3. on the other hand, the Shareholders may absolutely oppose to the transfer of Cofina Media Shares, in which case they should vote against this resolution proposal; and
  4. it is therefore important for the Company's Shareholders to be able to express their will clearly and unequivocally, stating whether they wish to see the sale of the Shares in Cofina Media (even before deciding on the best alternative for carrying out such a sale, within the scope of Item Three, Item Four or Item Five of the agenda).

Accordingly, the Company's Board of Directors hereby submits to the discussion and vote of the General Meeting to be held on 26 October 2023, the approval of the transfer of all the shares representing the share capital and voting rights of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cofina Media, either under Item Three or Item Four or Item Five of the agenda.
