ANNOUNCEMENT

Sonae SGPS, SA hereby announces the reorganisation of the Spanish operation of its subsidiary Worten – Equipamentos do Lar, S.A.. The company has reached an agreement to sell 17 stores in Spain Mainland to Media Markt Saturn S.A.U and has decided to close an additional 14 stores. This initiative follows Worten's announced plan to optimise its Spanish operation, maintaining its successful strategy in the Canary Islands – where Worten is a leading omnichannel player with an unparalleled footprint and a strong financial profile – and a focus on the digital channel in Spain Mainland. The reorganisation plan was designed to create a financially sustainable operation in Spain, while preserving jobs and minimising the social impact of these initiatives.

These strategic decisions are fully aligned with Sonae's defined objectives of reaching sound profitability in Worten's Spanish operation from 2021 onwards, reinforcing the strong profile of its leading electronics omnichannel operation in Iberia and better preparing the business for its ambitious growth strategy.

The completion of the transaction with Media Markt Saturn S.A.U. is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions for a transaction of this nature (including the required merger control clearance) and closing is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2021.
