*Cologne, 23 June 2022.* SPORTTOTAL AG’s Annual General Meeting which was held in a digital format this year as well has paved the way for financing the growth planned for SPORTTOTAL. In approving new Authorised Capital of approximately €15.4 million for the purpose of future capital increases, as well as for ensuring conversion options of bearer bonds already issued and any future convertible bonds in a total volume of around €9.3 million, the Annual General Meeting has enabled the company to finance its growth plans. This is impressive proof that the shareholders are still committed to the growth plans. All the proposals put forward by management were approved by a large majority of the voting capital present. As CEO Peter Lauterbach explained in his Management Board speech, SPORTTOTAL's will be concentrating on promoting the growth of sporttotal.tv, the streaming platform for live sports events, in the coming months. In particular, the distribution cooperation signed with Telecom Deutschland for the fully automated SPORTTOTAL camera system based on artificial intelligence should make a contribution to a sustainable development. An additional focus in the DIGITAL segment will be placed on newly established Forty10 GmbH which, in its role as a media house for moving image production in the context of Telecom Deutschland’s MagentaTV, has been furnished with a multi-year agreement.
Similarly, the company’s shareholders approved the resolutions put forward by the Supervisory Board and the Management Board pertaining to the other items on the agenda with the necessary majority.
