Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. ("Prisa"or "the Company") was incorporated on January 18, 1972, and has its registered office in Madrid, at Gran Vía, 32. Its business activities include, inter alia, the exploitation of media in any format, including the publication of newspapers and educational material, the holding of investments in companies and businesses and the provision of all manner of services.
In view of the business activity carried on by the Company, it does not have any environmental liabilities, expenses, assets, provisions or contingencies that might be material with respect to its equity, financial position or results. Therefore, no specific disclosures relating to environmental issues are included in these notes to the financial statements.
In addition to the business activities carried on directly by it, the Company heads a group of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates which engage in a variety of business activities and which compose Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. and subsidiary companies ("the Prisa Group" or "the Group"). Therefore, in addition to its own separate financial statements, Prisa is obliged to present consolidated financial statements for the Group prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as approved by European Commission Regulations. The main aggregates of the PRISA Group's consolidated financial statements in terms of total asset, equity and net revenues amount to EUR 982,673 thousand, EUR 532,160 negative thousand and EUR 830,764 thousand respectively in 2022.
The Group's consolidated financial statements for 2021 were approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting held on June 28, 2022 and deposited in the Mercantile Register of Madrid.
The consolidated financial statements for 2022 were authorized for issue by the Company's Directors on March 28, 2023 for submission to the approval of the General Meeting of Shareholders, it being estimated that they will be approved without modification.
These financial statements are presented in thousands of euros as this is the currency of the main economic area in which the Company operates.
The shares of Prisa are admitted to trading on the continuous market of the Spanish Stock Exchanges (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia).

During last year and in the present, the Administrators of Prisa have taken a number of measures to strengthen the Company's financial and asset structure, such as asset sale operations, capital increases and refinancing of its debt.
In 2020, Vertix, SGPS, S.A. (subsidiary fully owned by PRISA) sold its entire shareholding in Grupo Media Capital, SGPS, S.A. (Media Capital) for a total price of EUR 47.4 million, which implied an accounting loss of EUR 77 million. This amount, net of costs, was destined to partial repayment of syndicated loan of the Group existing at that time.
On June 29, 2020, the Prisa´s General Shareholder Meeting agreed to reduce in share capital of the Company in order to reestablish its equity balance. Therefore, since June 30, 2020, and at December 31, 2022, the Company's equity is greater than two thirds of the capital stock, which is why it was in a situation of equity balance at that date.
On October 19, 2020, Prisa, through its subsidiary Grupo Santillana Educación Global, S.L.U. ("Santillana"), signed an agreement with the Sanoma Corporation, a European learning and Finnish media company, for the sale of the Spanish educational business of Santillana addressed at pre K-12 and K-12 segments ("Santillana Spain"). Santillana's activity in public and private markets in Latin America was excluded from the transaction and will continue to be developed by Prisa through Santillana. On December 31, 2020, the transaction was closed at an enterprise value of EUR 465 million and it meant a total cash obtained from the buyer of EUR 418 million. EUR 375 million of the cash obtained was destined to partial repayment of syndicated loan of PRISA existing at that time.
In February 2022 the Board of Directors of Prisa approved, by unanimity, the signing of a lockup agreement (the "New Lock-Up Agreement") that incorporated a term sheet with the basic conditions for the amendment of the Group's syndicated financial debt (the "Refinancing"). The basic terms of the agreed Refinancing consist, among other aspects, in the extension of the maturity of the financial debt to 2026 and 2027 and division of the syndicated loan into two differentiated tranches (one of Senior debt and one of Junior debt) and the flexibilization of the contractual commitments of the current debt that will allow, among other improvements, to increase Prisa's operating flexibility and soften the financial ratios required by its current contracts. Likewise, a Term Sheet has been signed with the basic conditions for the modification of the Super Senior debt ("Super Senior Term & Revolving Facilities Agreement") of the Company that, among others terms, supposes an extension of the maturity of the debt to June 2026. On April 19, 2022, the Refinancing entered into force, once the agreements reached with all of its creditors had concluded.
The agreed New Refinancing thus make the Group's financial debt more flexible and provide a financial structure allowing the Group to comply with its financial commitments, ensuring the Group's stability in the short and medium term.
In January 2023, the Board of Directors of PRISA unanimously agreed to issue subordinated bonds mandatorily convertible into newly issued ordinary shares of the Company, with preemptive subscription rights for PRISA shareholders. This issue took place through a public offer for subscription of up to a total of EUR 130 million, by issuing and putting into

circulation up to a total of 351,350 convertible bonds. The maturity date of these convertible bonds and conversion into new shares will be on the fifth anniversary of the issue date, with a conversion price of EUR 0.37 per new share having been set. The convertible bonds will bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.00% (which cannot be capitalised) and payable upon conversion into ordinary shares. In February 2023, convertible bonds amounting to a total of EUR 130 million were subscribed, i.e. the full amount of the offer (see note 20).
This issue is an instrument to reduce PRISA´s syndicated financial debt, which is linked to a variable interest rate and which was refinanced in April 2022. This has enabled the Company to raise the funds necessary to partially pay off early the tranche of the PRISA's syndicated financial debt that constitutes its largest interest financial expense, i.e. the Junior debt tranche, which is benchmarked at Euribor+8% (including cash and capitalisable cost), which as at 31 December 2022 totalled EUR 192,013 thousand (see note 7.3). In February, 2023 the Company has cancelled EUR 110,000 thousand of Junior debt.
In recent years, the Group has undertaken its activities in the following areas in a general climate of almost constant volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. This makes it difficult to predict future business performance, especially in the medium and long term. This complex environment has been greatly exacerbated by several events that are having a major impact at the global level: the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine.
In relation to COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, the adverse impact of the virus has been reduced in recent months, thanks, among other things, to the efficacy and progressive extension of the application of vaccines. This has meant a relaxation of the restrictive measures implemented in the past. However, this positive evolution is not taking place equally among all the countries in which the Group operates, and in fact, the aforementioned Organization maintains the pandemic situation in force.
In February 2022, the Russian invasion of Ukraine took place, which has led the European Union to adopt a series of individual measures and economic sanctions against Russia. It has also caused great instability in international markets.
In particular, the latter development has led to a significant increase in inflation rates and higher energy prices in 2022. In addition, as a result of inflationary pressures, Central Banks have been raising interest rates, which has led to an increase in the cost of financing for economic agents. All of the above has led to a slowdown in the global economy in 2022, with the prospects for economic recovery still uncertain, depending on the duration of the war in Ukraine, the normalisation of commodity supplies and the future behaviour of inflation and its return to normal rates. This slowdown in the global economy could turn into a prolonged period of low growth and high inflation (stagflation).
In general, both the Education and Media businesses tend to develop in a way that is very much subject to the macroeconomic environment. For example, on the cost side, raw materials, energy resources or distribution are being affected as a result of rising inflation and supply chain disruptions resulting from the environment. Moreover, in the case of Media, the

performance of the advertising market is particularly affected. PRISA's activities and investments in Spain and Latin America are exposed to the development of the different macroeconomic parameters of each country, including the development of currency exchange rates.
Likewise, the increase in Euribor, the reference rate for the cost of most of the Group's financial debt, has a negative impact on the financial cost of the same and interest payments.
Considering the complexity of the markets due to their globalization the consequences for the Company's businesses are uncertain and will depend to a large extent on the impact of the events mentioned above. Therefore, at the date of authorized for issue of these financial statements, we have carried out an assessment and quantification of the impacts that COVID-19 and the invasion of Ukraine had on the Company as of December 31, 2022. There is still a high level of uncertainty about its consequences in the short and medium term.
Therefore, the Directors and Management of the Company have assessed the situation based on the best information available. For the reasons referred to above, such information may be incomplete. As a result of this assessment, we highlight the following:
Likewise, the invasion of Ukraine and COVID-19 and its macroeconomic impacts could also have an adverse impact on key indicators for the Company, such as financial leverage ratios and compliance with financial ratios included in the financial agreements of the Group. In this sense, with the agreed Refinancing in 2022, the Company's financial debt was made more flexible and endowed with a financial structure that makes it possible to meet its financial commitments (including financial ratios (covenants)).

Finally, we highlight that the Company's Directors and Management are constantly monitoring the situation so as to successfully address any impacts, both financial and nonfinancial, that may arise.
At December 31, 2022, the equity of the Company stood at EUR 282,547 thousand, over two thirds of total share capital, which is why it was in a situation of equity balance at that date.
As a consequence of the facts set out above, the Directors have applied the going concern principle.
The accompanying financial statements for 2022 which were obtained from the Company's accounting records, are presented in accordance with the regulatory framework for financial reporting applicable and, in particular, the accounting principles and criteria contained herein, presenting fairly the Company's equity, financial position, and of the results of its operations, the changes in its equity and the cash flows generated by the Company in the year then ended. The regulatory framework for financial reporting applicable considered is:

These financial statements, which were formally prepared by the Company's directors on March 28, 2023, will be submitted for approval by the shareholders at the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting and it is considered that they will be approved without any changes. The 2021 financial statements were approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting held on June 28, 2022.
In accordance with company legislation, each item of the balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in net equity and cash flow statement for 2022 is shown with the figure for previous year for comparison purposes. The notes to the financial statements also include quantitative information of the previous year, unless an accounting standard specifically establishes otherwise.
No non-obligatory accounting principles were applied. Also, all obligatory accounting principles were applied.
The information in these financial statements is the responsibility of the Company's directors.
In the financial statements for 2022 estimates were occasionally made by executives of the Company in order to quantify certain assets, liabilities, income, expenses and obligations reported herein. These estimates relate basically to the following:
Although these estimates were made on the basis of the best information available at the date of preparation of these financial statements on the events analysed, it is possible that events that may take place in the future force them to modify them, upwards or downwards. Changes in accounting estimates would be applied prospectively, recognizing the effects of the change in estimates in the future related income statements, as well as in assets and liabilities.
In 2022, there were no significant changes in the accounting estimates made at the end of 2021.

The proposal for the distribution of the Company's loss for 2022 approved by the Company's Directors and that will be submitted for approval at the General Shareholders' Meeting is the following, in thousands of euros:
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Basis of appropriation- | |
| Result for the year | (90,956) |
| Distribution | |
| Loss from previous years | (90,956) |
As indicated in Note 2, the Company applied accounting policies in accordance with the accounting principles and rules contained in the Code of Commerce, developed in the valid General Chart of Accounts (PGC 2007), and other corporate legislation in force as at the closing date of these financial statements. In this sense, the policies that specifically apply to the Company's activity and those considered meaningful according to the nature of its activities are detailed below.
Intangible assets are recognized initially at acquisition price or production cost and are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Only assets whose cost can be estimated objectively and from which the Company considers it probable that future economic benefits will be generated are recognized. These assets are amortized over their years of useful life. When the useful lives of these assets can not be estimated reliably they are amortized over a period of ten years according to Royal Decree 602/2016 of December 2.
The "Industrial property" account includes the amounts paid for acquiring the right to use or register certain brands. These rights are amortized at a rate of 20% per year using the straightline method.
"Computer software" includes the amounts paid to develop specific computer programs or the amounts incurred in acquiring from third parties the licenses to use programs. Computer software is amortized using the straight-line method over a period ranging from four to six years, depending on the type of program or development, from the date on which it is brought into service.
Property, plant and equipment are recognized at acquisition price or production cost, net of the related accumulated depreciation and of any impairment losses.
The costs of expansion, modernization or improvements leading to increased productivity, capacity or efficiency or to a lengthening of the useful lives of the assets are capitalized.

Period upkeep and maintenance expenses are charged directly to the income statement for the year in which they are incurred.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated by the straight-line method at annual rates based on the years of estimated useful life of the related assets, the detail being as follows:
| Years of estimated useful life |
|
|---|---|
| Other fixtures and furniture | 10 |
| Other items of property, plant and equipment | 4-10 |
At each reporting date the Company reviews there is any indication that those assets might have suffered an impairment loss and, if any such indication exists, checks through the determined "impairment test" the possible existence of value losses that reduce the recoverable value of said assets to an amount lower than their book value.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is taken to be the present value of the estimated future cash flows to derive from the asset based on the most recent budgets approved by Management.
If the recoverable amount is lower than the asset's carrying amount, the related impairment loss is recognized in the income statement for the difference.
Impairment losses recognized on an asset in previous years are reversed when there is a change in the estimate of its recoverable amount by increasing the carrying amount of the asset up to the limit of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset. The reversal of the impairment loss is recognized immediately as income in the income statement.
On initial recognition, the Company classifies all financial assets into one of the categories listed below, which determines the initial and subsequent measurement method that is applicable:

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss: The Company classifies a financial asset in this category unless it should be classified in any other category.
In any case, financial assets held for trading are included in this category. The Company considers a financial asset to be held for trading when at least one of the following three circumstances is met:
Financial assets classified in this category are initially measured at fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, is assumed to be the transaction price, which is the fair value of the consideration given. Directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in the profit and loss account for the year (i.e. they are not capitalised).
Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company measures financial assets in this category at fair value through profit or loss (financial result).
Financial assets at amortised cost: The Company classifies a financial asset in this category, even when it is admitted to trading on an organised market, if the following conditions are met:
In general, this category includes trade receivables ("Trade receivables") and non-trade receivables ("Other receivables").
Financial assets classified in this category are initially measured at fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, is assumed to be the transaction price, which is the fair value of the consideration given, plus any directly attributable transaction costs. That is, the inherent transaction costs are capitalised.

However, trade receivables maturing in less than one year and which do not have an explicit contractual interest rate, as well as receivables from personnel, dividends receivable and payments due on equity instruments, the amount of which is expected to be received in the short term, are measured at nominal value when the effect of not discounting cash flows is not material.
The amortised cost method is used for subsequent valuation. Accrued interest is recognised in the profit and loss account (financial income) using the effective interest method.
Receivables maturing in less than one year which, as described above, are initially measured at nominal value shall continue to be measured at nominal value, unless they are impaired.
In general, when the contractual cash flows of a financial asset at amortised cost change due to the issuer's financial difficulties, the Company assesses whether an impairment loss should be recognised.
Financial assets at cost: The Company includes the following in this category:
Investments in this category are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given plus directly attributable transaction costs. That is, the inherent transaction costs are capitalized.
In the case of investments in group companies, if there was an investment prior to its classification as a group company, jointly controlled entity or associate, the cost of that investment shall be deemed to be the book value that the investment should have had immediately before the company's classification as a group company, jointly controlled entity or associate.
Subsequent measurement is also at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Contributions made as a result of a joint venture and similar contracts are measured at cost, increased or decreased by the profit or loss, respectively, accruing to the company as a nonmanaging venturer, less any accumulated impairment losses.
The same applies to participating loans whose interest is contingent, either because a fixed or variable interest rate is agreed on the fulfilment of a milestone in the borrowing company (e.g. the achievement of profits), or because it is calculated solely by reference to the performance

of the borrowing company's business. If irrevocable fixed interest is agreed in addition to contingent interest, the latter is accounted for as finance income on an accruals basis. Transaction costs are taken to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the life of the participating loan.
The Company derecognises a financial asset from the balance sheet when:
At least at each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset, or a group of financial assets with similar risk characteristics measured collectively, is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition and that result in a reduction or delay in estimated future cash flows, which may be caused by the debtor's insolvency.
If such evidence exists, the impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of future cash flows, including, where applicable, those from the enforcement of collateral and personal guarantees, estimated to be generated, discounted at the effective interest rate calculated at initial recognition. For floating rate financial assets, the effective interest rate at the reporting date is used in accordance with the contractual terms. In calculating impairment losses for a group of financial assets, the Company uses models based on formulas or statistical methods.
Impairment losses, and their reversal when the amount of the impairment loss decreases due to a subsequent event, are recognised as an expense or income, respectively, in the income statement. The reversal of impairment is limited to the carrying amount of the asset that would have been recognised at the date of reversal had no impairment loss been recognised.
As a proxy for the present value of future cash flows, the Company uses the market value of the instrument, provided that it is sufficiently reliable to be considered representative of the value that could be recovered by the Company.
In this case, the amount of the valuation adjustment is the difference between its carrying amount and the recoverable amount, the latter being the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows arising from the investment, which in the case of equity instruments are calculated either by estimating those expected to be received as

a result of the distribution of dividends by the investee and the disposal or derecognition of the investment in the investee, or by estimating its share of the cash flows expected to be generated by the investee from its ordinary activities and from the disposal or derecognition of the investment.
Unless there is better evidence of the recoverable amount of investments in equity instruments, the estimate of the impairment loss on this asset class is calculated on the basis of the investee's equity and the unrealised gains existing at the measurement date, net of the tax effect. Alternatively, the recoverable amount is estimated as the present value of estimated future pre-tax cash flows based on the most recent budgets and business plans approved by the Directors. These budgets incorporate the best available estimates of the investees' revenues and costs using industry forecasts and future expectations (see note 7.1).
The recognition of impairment losses and, where applicable, their reversal are recognised as an expense or income, respectively, in the income statement. The reversal of impairment is limited to the carrying amount of the investment that would have been recognised at the reversal date had no impairment loss been recognised.
Interest and dividends on financial assets accrued after the time of acquisition are recorded as income in the income statement. Interest is recognised using the effective interest method and dividends are recognised when the right to receive them is declared.
If the dividends distributed clearly arise from profits generated prior to the acquisition date because amounts in excess of the profits generated by the investee since acquisition have been distributed, they shall not be recognised as income and shall reduce the carrying amount of the investment. The judgement as to whether profits have been generated by the investee shall be made solely on the basis of the profits recognised in the individual income statement since the date of acquisition, unless it is clear that the distribution of those profits is to be regarded as a recovery of the investment from the perspective of the entity receiving the dividend.
On initial recognition, the Company classifies all financial liabilities in the following category:
The Company classifies all financial liabilities in this category except when they are to be measured at fair value through profit or loss.
In general, this category includes trade payables ("Trade payables") and non-trade payables ("Sundry accounts payable").
Financial liabilities included in this category are initially measured at fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, is deemed to be the transaction price, which is the fair value

of the consideration received adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs. That is, the inherent transaction costs are capitalised.
However, trade payables falling due in less than one year and not bearing a contractual interest rate, as well as disbursements required by third parties on participations, the amount of which is expected to be paid in the short term, are measured at their nominal value, when the effect of not discounting the cash flows is not significant.
The amortised cost method is used for subsequent valuation. Accrued interest is recognised in the income statement (financial expense) using the effective interest method.
However, debits maturing within one year which, in accordance with the above, are initially valued at nominal value shall continue to be valued at nominal value.
The Company derecognises a previously recognised financial liability when one of the following circumstances arises:
The accounting for the derecognition of a financial liability is as follows: the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability (or the part of it that has been derecognised) and the consideration paid, including attributable transaction costs, and any asset transferred other than cash or liability assumed, is recognised in the income statement in the period in which it arises.
The Company, in certain cases, restructures its debt commitments with its creditors. There are several ways in which such changes to the terms of a debt can be made:
In these cases of "debt swap" or "debt modification" with the same creditor, the Company analyses whether there has been a material change in the terms of the original debt. If there has been a material change, the accounting treatment is as follows:

On the other hand, when, after analysis, the Company concludes that the two debts do not have substantially different terms (they are essentially the same debt), the accounting treatment is as follows:
The terms of the contracts shall be considered materially different, inter alia, when the present value of the cash flows of the new contract, including any fees paid, net of any fees received, differs by at least ten per cent from the present value of the remaining cash flows of the original contract, discounted at the effective interest rate of the original contract.
Certain changes in the determination of cash flows may not pass this quantitative analysis but may also result in a material change in the liability, such as: a change from a fixed to a floating interest rate in the remuneration of the liability, the restatement of the liability to a different currency, a fixed rate loan that is converted into a participating loan, among other cases.
The Company is also exposed to interest rate risk since all of its bank borrowings bear interest at floating rates. In this regard, the Company arranges interest rate hedges, basically through contracts providing for interest rate caps, when the market outlook so requires.
Pursuant to current legislation, changes in the value of these financial instruments are recognized as finance income or finance costs, since by their nature they do not qualify for hedge accounting under this legislation.
A discontinued operation is a component of the Company that has been disposed of by other means or is classified as 'held for sale' and, among other conditions, represents a separate major line of business which can be considered separate from the rest.
The Company presents this type of operations in the income statement under a single heading entitled "Profit (or loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax", including the profit (or loss) from

discontinued operations net of tax recognized at fair value less costs to sell or disposal or of the assets that constitute the discontinued operation.
Additionally, when operations are classified as discontinued, the Company will re-present, for comparative purposes, the disclosures described above for prior periods presented in the annual statements so that the disclosures relate to all operations that have been discontinued by the end of the reporting period for the latest period presented.
Foreign currency transactions are translated to the Company's functional currency (euros) at the exchange rates ruling at the transaction date. During the year, differences arising between the result of applying the exchange rates initially used and that of using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of collection or payment are recognized as finance income or finance costs in the income statement.
At the end of the reporting period, foreign currency on hand and the receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are translated to euros at the exchange rates then prevailing. Any gains or losses on such translation are recognized in the income statement.
Income tax expense (tax income) represents the sum of the current tax expense (current tax income) and the deferred tax expense (deferred tax income).
The current income tax expense is the amount payable by the Company as a result of income tax settlements for a given year. Tax credits and other tax benefits, excluding tax withholdings and prepayments and tax loss carryforwards from prior years effectively offset in the current year, reduce the current income tax expense.
The deferred tax expense or income relates to the recognition and derecognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences defined as the amounts expected to be payable or recoverable in the future which result from differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. These amounts are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets may also arise from the carryforward of unused tax loss and generated and unused tax credits and non-deductibles financial expenses.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is considered probable that the Company will have sufficient taxable profits in the future against which those assets can be utilized and the deferred tax assets do not arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit (loss) nor taxable profit (loss).

The deferred tax assets recognized are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and the appropriate adjustments are made to the extent that there are doubts as to their future recoverability. Also, unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that they will be recovered through future taxable profits.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except for those arising from the initial recognition of goodwill or of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting profit (loss) nor taxable profit (tax loss).
Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from transactions charged or credited directly to equity are also recognized in equity.
The Company files consolidated tax returns as Parent of tax group number 2/91 as permitted by the Consolidated Spanish Corporation Tax Law approved by Legislative Royal Decree 4/2004, of March 5.
As Parent of the group, the Company recognizes the adjustments relating to the consolidated tax group.
Revenue and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis, regardless of when the resulting monetary or financial flow arises.
The Company recognizes revenues for the ordinary development of its activity when the transfer of control of the goods or services committed to customers occurs. At that time, the Company values the income at the amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods or services.
Income from services rendered is recognized considering the degree of realization of the benefit on the date of balance, provided that the result of the transaction can be estimated reliably.
Exchange income and expenses that correspond to swaps are recorded at the market value of the services delivered and the consideration received, respectively.
Interest incomes from financial assets are recognized using the effective interest method and dividend incomes are recognized when the shareholder's right to receive payment has been established.
In application of the criterion stated by the Spanish Accounting and Auditing Institute in relation to the determination of the turnover in holding companies (answer to consultation published in its Official Gazette of September 2009), they are included as an integral part of the amount of the turnover dividends as well as the income from rendering services, from its subsidiaries.

The present obligations at the balance sheet date arising from past events which could give rise to a loss for the Company, which is uncertain as to its amount and timing are recognized as provisions in the balance sheet at the present value of the most probable amount that it is considered that the Company will have to pay to settle the obligation (see note 13).
Provisions are measured at the present value of the best possible estimate of the amount required to settle or transfer the obligation to a third party, with adjustments arising from the restatement of the provision recorded as a finance cost as they accrue. In the case of provisions maturing in one year or less, and where the financial effect is not significant, no discounting is applied. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the best current estimate of the corresponding liability at each point in time.
Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Unless considered as remote, contingent liabilities are not recognized in annual accounts, but are informed in the Annual Report Notes.
The "Provision for third-party liability" relates to the estimated amount required to meet the Company's liability, as the majority shareholder, for the portion of the losses incurred at investees whose equity has become negative and which must be restored by their shareholders.
Assets and liabilities maturing within twelve months from the balance sheet date are classified as current items and those maturing within more than twelve months are classified as noncurrent items.
Related party transactions are a part of the Company's normal business activities (in terms of their purpose and terms and conditions). Sales to related parties are carried out on an arm's length basis and are posted according to the mentioned accountant policies.
In addition, transfer prices are properly supported and, therefore, the Company's directors consider that there are no significant risks in this item that may give rise to sizeable liabilities in the future. The most significant transactions performed with related companies are of a financial nature.
The Company recognizes, on the one hand, goods and services received as an asset or as an expenditure, considering its nature at the time it is obtained and, on the other hand, the corresponding increase in equity in case the transaction is settled with an amount based on equity instruments value.

Those transactions settled with equity instruments that have counterpart goods or services other than those provided by employees shall be valued, where they may be reliably estimated, at the fair value of the goods or services on the date they are received. If the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be reliably estimated, the goods or services received and the increase in net worth will be valued at the fair value of the transferred equity instruments, referring to the date the company obtains the goods or the other party provides the services.
In accordance with the legislation in force, the Company is obliged to pay severance payments to those employees with whom, under certain conditions, it terminates their employment relationships. Therefore, severance payments that may be reasonably quantified are recorded as expenditure within the year in which the decision to dismiss is adopted. In 2022 the Company has not recorded any provision in this respect (for amount of EUR 96 thousand in 2021).
According to current legislation concerning non-monetary contributions to a group company, the contributor will evaluate the investment according to the book value of the equity items delivered in the consolidated annual accounts on the date the transaction is carried out, according to the Rules for the Formulation of the consolidated annual accounts, which develop the Commercial Code. The acquiring company will recognize them for the same amount.
The Company classifies assets whose carrying amount will be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use as "Non-current assets held for sale" when they meet the following requirements:
These assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Non-current assets held for sale are not amortized, but at each balance sheet date the company re-measures the non-current asset so that the carrying amount does not exceed fair value less costs to sell.
Any gain or loss on the remeasurement of a non-current asset or disposal group classified as held for sale that does not meet the definition of a discontinued operation shall be included in profit or loss from continuing operations as appropriate, during the year in which those requirements are not met.

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever it is inferred from the conditions thereof that the risks and benefits inherent to the ownership of the asset object of the contract are substantially transferred to the lessee. The other leases are classified as operating leases.
Expenses derived from operating lease agreements are charged to the profit and loss account in the year in which they are accrued.
Any collection or payment that could be made when contracting an operating lease, will be treated as a prepayment or payment that will be charged to income over the period of the lease, as the benefits of the leased asset are ceded or received.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer or settle a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value shall be determined without any deduction for transaction costs that might be incurred on disposal. In no case does fair value result from a forced, urgent transaction or as a consequence of an involuntary liquidation situation.
Fair value is estimated for a particular date and, because market conditions may change over time, that value may be inappropriate for another date. In addition, in estimating fair value, an entity takes into account the terms and conditions of the asset or liability that market participants would take into account in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
In general, fair value is calculated by reference to a reliable market value. For those items for which there is an active market, fair value is derived, where appropriate, through the application of measurement models and techniques. Measurement models and techniques include the use of references to recent arm's length transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties, if available, as well as references to the fair value of other assets that are substantially the same, discounted estimated future cash flow methods and models generally used to value options.
In any case, the valuation techniques employed are consistent with accepted methodologies used by the market for pricing, using, where available, the one that has been shown to produce the most realistic estimates of prices. They also take into account the use of observable market data and other factors that their participants would consider in setting the price, limiting as much as possible the use of subjective considerations and unobservable or unverifiable data.
The Company assesses the effectiveness of the valuation techniques it uses on a regular basis, using as a reference the observable prices of recent transactions in the same asset being valued or using prices based on observable market data or indices that are available and applicable.
In this way, a hierarchy is derived in the inputs used in the determination of fair value and a fair value hierarchy is established that allows estimates to be classified into three levels:

A fair value estimate is classified in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement outcome. For this purpose, a significant variable is a variable that has a decisive influence on the estimation result. The assessment of the significance of a particular variable for the estimate takes into account the specific conditions of the asset or liability being measured.
Treasury shares are measured at acquisition cost with a debit balance under "Equity." Gains and losses on the acquisition, sale, issue, retirement or impairment of treasury shares are recognized directly in equity in the accompanying balance sheet.

The most significant operations that took place in 2021 which gave rise to the aforementioned changes were as follows:
In June 2021, within the framework of the Group's corporate reorganization, the Company made a monetary partner contribution to Prisa Gestión Financiera, S.L. (Sole propietorship) for the amount of EUR 100,000 thousand, transferring the provision for third-party liability to the stake's impairment for the same amount on that date for amount of EUR 3,587 thousand (see note 13).
In October 2021, also within the framework of the Group's corporate reorganisation, a nonmonetary partner contribution was made to Prisa Media, S.A. (Sole proprietorship), consisting of the transfer of all the shares of its subsidiary Prisa Noticias, S.L. (Sole proprietorship) for a value of EUR 108,974 thousand. The Contribution to Prisa Media, S.A. (Sole proprietorship) was valued at carrying amount at which Prisa Noticias, S.L. (Sole proprietorship) stake was registered.
In 2021, the stake was increased in Prisa Media, S.A. (Sole proprietorship) (EUR 208 thousand), Prisa Activos Educativos, S.A. (Sole proprietorship) (EUR 458 thousand) and Prisa Noticias, S.L. (Sole proprietorship) (EUR 244 thousand), associated with the Medium-Term Incentive Plan approved in April 2018 aimed at members of senior management and certain executives of Group subsidiaries (see note 14). For the Company, this operation was classified as a contribution to its subsidiaries recorded as a gain in the value of the investment.

In June 2021, likewise within the framework of the Group's business reorganisation, the following operations occurred:
Refund of contributions by Prisa Participadas, S.L. (Sole propietorship) consisting of a distribution of the share premium through the assignment of the following credits:
Participating loan granted by this entity to the Company for the amount of EUR 62,492 thousand.
EUR 210,417 thousand of the total share premium distributed, and in accordance with the profits generated and not distributed by the investee or any group company in which the latter has an interest, which must be considered within any distribution of available reserves as income to the shareholder, was considered to constitute a lower cost of the investment, with the remainder corresponding to dividend income (see note 16).
In this case, after analyzing the profits generated and not distributed by the investee and its subsidiaries, it was considered that the amount associated with a decrease in the value of the investment amounts to EUR 182,364 thousand, with the remainder corresponding to dividend income (see note 16).
At the end of each reporting period, or whenever there are indications of impairment, the Group tests goodwill for impairment to determine whether it has suffered any permanent loss in value that reduces its recoverable amount of stakes at an amount less than the net cost recorded.
The recoverable amount of each stake is the higher of fair value net selling price and value in use. Unless there is better evidence of the recoverable amount, the net equity of the investee is taken into consideration, corrected for the unrealized gains existing on the valuation date (including goodwill, if any).
Value in use was calculated on the basis of the estimated future cash flows based on the business plans most recently approved by Management. These business plans include the best estimates available of income and costs of the cash-generating units using industry projections and future expectations.

According to the estimates and projections available to the Directors, the corresponding provisions/reversals have been recognized in such a way that the net book value have been adjusted to the forecasts of the cash flows attributable to each company involved as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
These projections cover the following five years and include a residual value that is appropriate for each business. In order to calculate the present value of these flows, they are discounted at a rate that reflects the weighted average cost of capital employed adjusted for the country risk and business risk. The rate for the most relevant impairment test is from 8% to 10% (from 7% to 9% in 2021).
An analysis of the sensitivity of the main hypotheses of the impairment test has been conducted, analyzing the difference between the carrying amount and its recoverable amount in the scenarios envisaged by the Company's Management in its estimates.
In order to determine the value in use of the business of Prisa Media, S.A. (Sole proprietorship), the Management has based itself on the estimated value of its main asset: Prisa Radio, S.A. ("Prisa Radio") Diario El País, S.L. y Grupo de Medios Impresos y Digitales, S.L.
The Management has adapted the advertising market projections to the new circumstances of the macroeconomic environment of Spain and Chile and of the advertising industry, in particular. In this sense, the estimates made by PwC in its "Global Entertainment & Media Outlook" report are taken into account and a market base that grows in the next five years after bottoming out in 2020 with the impact of the pandemic. Likewise, the Group takes into account its past experience in the radio and press sector, also considering its positioning (market share).
The discount rate used is from 8% to 10% (from 7% to 9% in 2021) and the growth rate used is from 0% to 1.5% (from 0% to 1.5% in 2021).
In accordance with these assumptions and the analysis of sensivity carried out the recoverable value of Prisa Media, S.A. (Sole proprietorship) is higher than its book price.
In order to determine the value in use of the business of Prisa Activos Educativos, S.A. (Sole proprietorship), the Management has based itself on the estimated value of its main asset: Grupo Santillana Educación Global, S.L. ("Santillana").
Evolution of private training market: Management has adjusted its projections for the education market to the new circumstances of the macroeconomic environment in which it operates and the education sector. In this regard, in due consideration of the estimates of growth of student numbers in teaching systems and the transformation undergone by education in the wake of the pandemic, with hybrid teaching models (in situ and virtual), it was considered that this market will continue to grow in the years ahead.

For informational purposes, the CAGR of the revenue due to sales of educational systems in the period considered in the forecasts of fiscal year 2022 is approximately two percentage points lower than the ones used in the deterioration test for fiscal year 2021. For this aspect, it must be considered that growth rates go down from the previous year since this growth has stabilised after the pandemic.
Evolution of Public purchase cycles: Management has taken into account the historical evolution of this variable, chiefly in relation to public procurement orders on Brazil's National Books and Teaching Material Programme – PNLD, and has considered a continuous evolution in the future.
For informational purposes, the CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of the revenue due to book sales in the period considered in the forecasts of fiscal year 2022 is approximately one percentage point higher than the ones used in the deterioration test for fiscal year 2021. For this aspect, it must be considered that this business is impacted by educational cycles.
The discount rate used for Santillana is from 8% to 10% (from 7.5% to 9% in 2021). The growth rate used is from 0.5% to 2% (from 0% to 1.5% in 2021).
In accordance with these assumptions and the analysis of sensivity carried out the recoverable value of Prisa Activos Educativos, S.A. (Sole proprietorship) is higher than its book price.
The valuation of the investment in Prisa Participadas, S.L. (Sole Proprietorship) is carried out taking into consideration its equity, considered as the best evidence of the recoverable amount. According the impairment test made in 2022, the recoverable value has turned out to be lower than the book value, mainly as a consequence of the dividend distribution made to the Company offset by the profits obtained in this year, recording an impairment for amount of EUR 12,703 thousand.
The valuation of the investment in Prisa Gestión Financiera, S.L. (Sole Proprietorship) is carried out taking into consideration its equity, considered as the best evidence of the recoverable amount. According the impairment test made in 2022, the recoverable value has turned out to be higher than the book value, recording a reversal of impairment loss of EUR 825 thousand.
This heading includes the portion of the loans to companies of the Group and Associates with maturity within one year and interest accrued pending payment, being the sum of EUR 1,981 thousand at December 31, 2022 (EUR 1,972 thousand at December 31, 2021).

In addition, this caption includes the tax account receivable with the Spanish Tax Group companies as a result of the liquidation of the consolidated Corporate tax for the sum of EUR 13,749 thousand at December 31, 2022 (EUR 6,506 thousand at December 31, 2021).

In 2021, "Result after tax from discontinued operations" included a provision associated with an unfavourable ruling received by Telefónica and communicated to Prisa by the latter in January 2022, which has been appealed, in relation to certain operations of Distribuidora de Televisión Digital, S.A. ("DTS"), a subsidiary that was sold to the aforementioned company in 2015. The agreement for the sale of DTS to Telefónica contemplated the assumption by Prisa of a percentage of the damages arising from these legal proceedings, for which reason a provision of EUR 3,320 thousand was recognised at December 31, 2021 as it was considered probable that an outflow of resources will be required. It should be noted that the result of the sale of DTS was recorded in 2015 as a discontinued operation.

The changes in bank borrowings in 2022 and 2021 were as follows:
Under the Refinancing agreement, the Company has assumed debt from Prisa Activos Educativos, S.A. (Sole Propriertoship) for an amount of EUR 691,590 thousand (see section Refinancing) with a fair value at that moment of EUR 663,422 thousand. In addition, the Company drawn down EUR 160,000 thousand at that moment corresponding to the new Super Senior Term Loan Facility debt with which it was fully cancelled the previous Super Senior debt for the amount of EUR 151,474 thousand thereof at April 19, 2022 of, including the interest capitalized up to that date. Subsequently, the Company has drawn down the additional EUR 80,000 thousand related to the Super Senior Revolving Facility.
As discussed in the "Other aspects of the Refinancing" section, the new refinancing has led to the derecognition of the old debt and the recognition of a new debt at fair value, with an associated income amounting to EUR 10,117 thousand, partially offset by the expense associated with the derecognition of the old debt at amortized cost, amounting to EUR 6,665 thousand for the syndicated loan and EUR 1,660 thousand for the Super Senior debt.
Bank borrowings are presented sheet at amortized cost in the balance sheet, adjusted for the loan origination and arrangement costs.
To determine the theoretical calculation of the fair value of the financial debt, and in accordance with the accounting standards, the listed value of the debt on the secondary market as reported by an independent third party (level 1 variable: estimates using prices listed in active markets) has been used.
Therefore, the fair value of the Junior Debt, the Senior Debt, the Super Senior Debt and the accrued interest payable amounts to EUR 910,288 thousand at December 31, 2022, according to this calculation, as a result of apply a 10.72% average discount over the real principal payment obligation to the creditor entities.

In February 2022 the Board of Directors of Prisa approved, by unanimity, the signing of a lockup agreement (the "Lock-Up Agreement") that incorporated a term sheet with the basic conditions for the amendment of the Group's syndicated financial debt (the "Refinancing"). On April 19, 2022, the Refinancing entered into force, once the agreements reached with all of its creditors were concluded.
Therefore, in the context of the Refinancing of its financial debt, Prisa agreed on the novation of its syndicated loan ("2013 Override Agreement") for a total amount of EUR 751,114 thousand euros, which has been structured in two tranches with the following characteristics:
The agreed Refinancing makes the Company's financial debt more flexible and provides a financial structure allowing the Company to comply with its financial commitments, ensuring the Company's stability in the short and medium term.
Likewise, the Refinancing agreement has entailed a reorganisation of the debt in terms of borrowers, so that the financial debt previously held by Prisa Activos Educativos, S.A.U. has been transferred to Prisa for a nominal amount of EUR 691,590 thousand (see note 7.1.1).

Compliance with certain financial ratios is established in the financial agreements for the Prisa Group, which application begins on June 30, 2022. These contracts also include provisions on cross-default, which could cause, if the breach exceeds certain amounts, the early maturity and resolution of the contract in question. Since the Refinancing come into force no such breaches have occurred, nor are foreseen in the next twelve months.
The Refinancing agreement also includes causes for early termination as is customary in this kind of agreement, including the acquisition of control of Prisa, acquisition being understood as by one or several persons together, with more than 30% of the capital with voting rights (excluding for such purposes the current significant shareholders of the Company).
Finally, within the Refinancing agreement, and in relation to the distribution of dividends of the Company, these are subject to the limitations and commitments acquired with the financial creditors.
The guarantee structure for the refinancing debt is as follows:
The Senior and Junior Debt, as it was refinanced in April 2022, is jointly and severally guaranteed by Prisa and the companies Prisa Activos Educativos, S.A.U. Diario El País, S.L., Grupo de Medios Impresos y Digitales, S.L.U., Grupo Santillana Educación Global, S.L., Prisa Media, S.A.U. and Prisa Gestión Financiera, S.L.U.
Likewise, and in accordance with the Refinancing agreement, Prisa Activos Educativos and Prisa Media were transformed into public limited companies, previously limited liability companies.
As a result of the Refinancing, Prisa has currently pledged certain current accounts held by it, and, in addition, the guarantors have pledged, as appropriate, shares and equity interests in certain Group companies and certain bank accounts held by them, all as security for the aforementioned creditors.
Part of Prisa's investment in Prisa Radio, S.A. (80% share capital) and the 100% of the investments (100% share capital) in Prisa Activos Educativos, S.A. (Sole proprietorship), Prisa Media, S.A. (Sole proprietorship), Prisa Gestión Financiera, S.L. (Sole proprietorship) and Grupo Santillana Educación Global, S.L.U was also pledged, thereby insuring syndicated debt. Similarly, given its significance in the group, collateral has been pledged over 100% of the shares of Editora Moderna Ltda. (Brasil).
The Company has carried out an analysis of the terms agreed in the framework of the Refinancing, concluding that they constitute a substantial modification of the previous terms

from a qualitative point of view, inter alia, due to the existence of a refinancing, structuring and underwriting fee that can be paid in shares, the modification of the collateral structure and the flexibility to perform certain sales transactions. This has meant that the original financial liability has been cancelled, and a new liability from the Refinancing has been recognised. The initial recognition of the financial liability has been at fair value, which has led to the recognition of financial income in the amount of EUR 10,117 thousand in the heading "Value variation of financial instruments" of the income statement, for the difference between the nominal value of the debt and its fair value on the date of initial recognition. In addition, the debt assumed from Prisa Activos Educativos, S.A.U, by the Company, as is mentioned in note 7.1.1, included a fair value adjustment for the amount of EUR 28,168 thousand. For this purpose, the listed value of the debt in the secondary market has been used, according to information provided by a third party on the date of the Refinancing agreement going public (level 1 variable, estimates using prices listed in active markets). The fair value of the Refinancing debt at that date and according to this calculation would amounted to EUR 722,169 thousand. Thereafter, the difference between the par value of the debt and its initial fair value will be expensed in the consolidated income statement using the effective interest method.
In addition, all expenses and fees related to the Refinancing have been recognised in the income statement as finance costs, including, among others, various fees, in the form of upfront discounting ("OID") and consent fees, and other fees for an amount of EUR 23,491 thousand. In this respect, the refinancing, structuring and underwriting that the Company has chosen to pay through the issue of shares discussed above has been treated as a reserve for other equity instruments, as the method of settlement is at the discretion of the Company. This has resulted in recording a financial expense of EUR 20,288 thousand, with a credit to "Other equity instruments" in equity. For this purpose, the 32 million shares to be issued were valued at the listed price of the Prisa share on the date the Refinancing agreement was made public.
Finally, a financial expense of EUR 6,665 thousand euros has been recorded, mainly associated with recognising the formalisation costs associated with the previous refinancing, which had not yet been taken to the income statement.
In addition to the above Senior and Junior loan, the Company signed on 8 April 2022 a Super Senior Term & Revolving Facilities Agreement for a maximum amount of up to EUR 240,000 thousand. This agreement implies an extension of its maturity until June 30, 2026, with a cost indexed to Euribor + 5% payable in cash. This is the 1, 3 or 6-month Euribor, depending on the interest settlement window chosen by the Company at each maturity. In addition, the amendment of the agreement has led to a change of lender.
Out of the total amount of super senior debt, EUR 160,000 thousand are for the new Super Senior Term Loan Facility, drawn down at the time of the refinance and used to fully cancel the previous Super Senior debt for its amount on 19 April, and EUR 80,000 thousand are for a renewable credit facility, the Super Senior Revolving Facility, used to meet operational needs, which was not drawn down as at 31 December 2021. In the last quarter of 2022, the Company has drawn down all of the Revolving Facility amounting to EUR 80,000 thousand, meaning that as at December 31, 2022 the Super Senior debt had been fully drawn down.

The collateral structure of this Super Senior debt is the same as that referred to above in respect of the Company's Senior and Junior debt, such that the creditors of this debt and the creditors of the syndicated debt share the same collateral package. However, the Super Senior debt has a preferential ranking for collection and enforcement of collateral over the Senior and Junior debt in the event of a default under the financing agreements.
In addition, the costs related to cancelling the Super Senior Debt with the previous lender have been recognised in the income statement as a financial expense for the amount of EUR 1,660 thousand. The costs associated with arranging the debt with the new lender have been capitalised and are taken to the income statement over the life of the loan using the effective interest method.

According to the ICAC Resolution, the calculation of the average period of payment to suppliers has taken into account the commercial operations corresponding to the delivery of goods or services rendered from the date of entry into force of Law 31/2014, of 3 December.
For the sole purposes of providing the information set forth in this Resolution, providers shall mean business creditors for debts with providers of goods or services included in headings "Payable to suppliers", "Payable to suppliers, Group companies and associated" and "Sundry accounts payable" of the current liabilities of the balance sheet.
"Average period of payment to suppliers" is understood to mean the period from the delivery of the goods or provision of the services by the supplier to the eventual payment of the transaction.
The maximum legal period of payment applicable in 2021 under Law 3/2004, of 29 December, and its amendment by Law 15/2010, of 5 July, for combating late payment in commercial transactions, is by default 60 days. The average period of payment to the Company's suppliers

exceeds the statutory maximum period partially on account of agreements reached with suppliers related to Refinancing to defer payments or, where relevant, to initiate expenditure.
During the coming financial year, the Directors will take the appropriate measures to reduce the average period of payment to suppliers to legally permitted levels, except in cases where specific agreements with suppliers exist which set further deferments.
The situation in the markets has caused an increase in liquidity pressures in the economy and a contraction in the credit market. To face this, the Company has in place a Super Senior debt ("Super Senior Term & Revolving Facilities Agreement") to meet operational needs for a maximum amount of EUR 240,000 thousand, completely drawn as of December 31, 2022.
The Company thoroughly analyzes receivables and payments of its activities and maturity of financial and commercial debt. In terms of the commercial credit risk, the Company assesses the age of the trade receivables and constantly monitors the management of the receivables and payables associated with all its activities.
Additionally, the Company analyzes on a recurrent basis other financing sources to cover short- and medium-term liquidity needs. However, at December 31, 2022, the Company still maintains a net bank debt level of EUR 1,009,400 thousand. This debt indicator includes noncurrent and current bank borrowings, al nominal value, diminished by current financial assets, cash and cash equivalents.
The table below details the liquidity analysis of the Company in 2022 in relation to its bank borrowings. The table was prepared using the cash outflows not discounted with respect to their scheduled maturity dates and the early amortization of the Junior debt in February 2023 for the amount of EUR 110 million mentioned in note 20. The flows include both the expected repayments and interest payments. When the settlement is not fixed, the amount was determined using the underlings calculated based on the most recent available interest rate curve.
| Maturity | Thousand of euros |
Floating euro rates |
|---|---|---|
| Within 3 months | 126,463 | 2.34% |
| From 3 months to 12 months | 52,016 | 3.24% |
| From 1 to 3 years | 138,365 | 2.59% |

| Total | 1,299,335 |
The Company's main financial liabilities are the Junior and Senior debt and the Super Senior Debt, which are linked to the Euribor. An increase in the Euribor would directly impact interest paid, as a result of multiplying said increase by the nominal of past loans, except for

a debt nominal of EUR 150 million, which, at December 31, 2022, is covered by an interest rate coverage that limits the increase of the Euribor in 3 months to 2.25%, as described below. Moreover, in January 2023, a new coverage has been contracted, in this case, for a nominal amount of EUR 150 million and a 2.5% cap (3-month Euribor). Therefore, as of the creation of these financial statements, the notional value of the debt covered by previous coverages amounts to EUR 300 million.
The 100% of its bank borrowings terms are at variable interest rates, and therefore the Company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates.
In this regard, the Company is assessing the need to execute interest rate coverage contracts based on its forecasts. At the end of fiscal year 2022 and within the scope of the debt associated to refinancing, the Company has a contracted coverage of a nominal amount of EUR 150 million that limits the impact of any increase in the Euribor (cap) above 2.25% (3-month Euribor). Should the Euribor drop below said percentage, the aforementioned coverage would not apply.
The previous section of "Liquidity risk" contains an analysis of risk for the payment of interest
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rates mainly in the financial investments in Latin American subsidiaries, and for the revenues and results from those investments.
The balance of the heading "Cash and cash equivalents" in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2022 amounts to EUR 10,195 thousand (EUR 10,764 thousand at December 31, 2021) and it includes EUR 10,000 thousand received under the "escrow agreement" related to the Vertix purchase agreement with Cofina in 2019. This amount has been under dispute with Cofina since the breach of the aforementioned sale agreement by Cofina in April 2020, so the company will not have access to this sum until the dispute is resolved, and therefore has registered under the heading "Other financial liabilities" a liability for the same amount.
The detail of the transactions recognized under "Equity" in 2022 and 2021 is summarized in the attached statement of changes in equity.
As of January 1, 2022, the share capital of PRISA amounted to EUR 70,865 thousand and is represented by 708,650,193 ordinary shares, all of which belong to the same class and series, each with a par value of 0.10 euros, and have been fully paid up.

The Refinancing agreements provided for various financing, structuring and underwriting fees, which PRISA may pay, at its discretion, either in cash or in kind and PRISA has choosen to pay the aforementioned fees by means of their conversion into shares and consequent issuance of newly issued shares (see note 7.3). At the General Shareholders´Meeting held on June 28, 2022, it was resolved to increase the share capital by way of a compensation of credits by an amount of EUR 3,200 thousand, through the issuance and floating of 32 million new ordinary shares with a face value EUR 0.10 each, of the same class and series as those currently outstanding. The new shares have been suscribed and disbursed by the creditor entities by setting-off the fees. The Shareholders' Meeting delegated to the Board of Directors the execution of the aforementioned agreement.
At the PRISA´s Board meeting held on the same day, June 28, 2022, it was agreed to execute the capital increase resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting, setting all its terms. As a result of this agreement, these shares have been subscribed and paid in full by the creditor entities of the aforementioned commissions through the compensation of their credits. As a result of said compensation, the aforementioned credits have been extinguished.
The new shares have been issued at face value of EUR 0.10 plus a share premium of EUR 0.534 per share, resulting in an issuance price per share (capital plus issuance premium) of EUR 0.634. The total amount of the share premium corresponding to the new shares is EUR 17,088 thousand, being the total effective amount of the capital increase of EUR 20,288 thousand (face value plus premium).
Consequently, as of December 31, 2022, the share capital of PRISA amounts to 74,065 EUR thousand and is represented by 740,650,193 ordinary shares, all of which belong to the same class and series, each with a par value of 0.10 euros, and have been fully paid up.
On December 31, 2022, the significant shareholders of PRISA, according to information published on the website of the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores ("CNMV") and in some cases, information that has been provided by the shareholders to the Company, are the following:

The Recast Text of the Capital Companies Act no specific restriction whatever regarding the availability of the balance of this reserve.
As a result of the capital increase of 32 million shares, described in the previous note, the share premium as of December 31, 2022 is EUR 17,088 thousand and corresponds to 0.534 euros per share.
Under the Consolidated Text of the Corporate Enterprises Law, 10% of net profit for each year must be transferred to the legal reserve until the balance of this reserve reaches at least 20% of the share capital.
The legal reserve can be used to increase capital by the amount exceeding 10% of the new capital after the increase.
Except as indicated above, until the legal reserve exceeds 20% of share capital, it can only be used to offset losses, provided that sufficient other reserves are not available for this purpose.
During 2022, as a consequence of the distribution of the result of the year 2021, the balance of this account has increased for the amount of EUR 5,559 thousand, amounting at December 31, 2022 to EUR 12,646 thousand (EUR 7,087 thousand at December 31, 2021), without being fully endowed in both exercises.
Article 142 of the Consolidated Text of the Corporate Enterprises Act states that when a company acquires treasury shares, it must record in equity of the balance sheet a restricted reserve equal to the carrying amount of the treasury shares. This reserve must be maintained until the shares are sold or cancelled.
The balance of this account at December 31, 2022 amounts to EUR 401 thousand (at December 31, 2021, EUR 1,320 thousand).

In the financial year 2022 the changes in this account were mainly as follows:
The balance at December 31, 2022 of this item amounts to a positive amount of EUR 2,286 thousand (EUR 1,441 thousand at December 31, 2021).
As a consequence of the share capital reduction in 2020, a new reserve was set up which will only be available under the same requirements as those for the share capital reduction, for the amount of EUR 267,418 thousand at December 31, 2022 and 2021.
The "Loss from previous years" increased during 2021 as a result of the distribution of 2020 loss, until leaving a negative amount of EUR 49,144 thousand as of December 31, 2021.
During 2022, this amount has been offset with the distribution of the result of the 2021 financial year.
The changes in "Treasury shares" in 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

At December 31, 2022, Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. held a total of 1,425,317 treasury shares, representing 0.192% of its share capital.
Treasury shares are valued at market price at December 31, 2022, 0.281 euros per share. The total market value of the treasury shares amounts to EUR 401 thousand.
At December 31, 2022, the Company did not hold any shares on loan.
In July 2019, the Company signed an annual liquidity contract, which is solely intended to encourage liquidity and regularity in the Company's share price, within the limits established by the Company's General Meeting and by the applicable regulations, in particular Circular 1/2017. Through various Addendums to the original contract, the parties agreed to extend the term of the agreement yearly, the last one in July 2022, until July 2023. In the framework of this contract, the Company has purchased a total of 1,174,355 shares and sold a total of 1,024,019, and therefore the net purchases in the 2022 financial year have been 150,336 shares and EUR 87 thousand.
In addition, during 2022 the treasury shares derived from the Medium-Term Incentive Plan for the period 2018/2020, which was approved by the Ordinary General Shareholders Meeting on 25 April 2018 (see note 14), were delivered. Within the framework of this contract, the Company has delivered a total of 905,302 shares that were valued at a cost of EUR 1,991 thousand in the balance sheet. On the other hand, 155,285 shares have been granted in connection with successful Refinancing, valued at a cost of EUR 317 thousand in the balance sheet (see note 14).
The principal objective of the Company's capital management policy is to achieve an appropriate capital structure (Equity and debt) that guarantees the sustainability of its business, aligning shareholder interests with those of its various financial creditors.
In this way, in recent years, the Company's directors have taken a series of measures to strengthen the Group's financial and equity structure, focusing on profitable growth and value generation as described below.
On June 29, 2020, the PRISA´s General Shareholder Meeting agreed to reduce in share capital of the Company in order to reestablish its equity balance.
On October 19, 2020, PRISA, through its subsidiary Grupo Santillana Educación Global, S.L.U. ("Santillana"), signed an agreement with the Sanoma Corporation, a European learning and Finnish media company, for the sale of the Spanish educational business of Santillana addressed at pre K12 and K-12 segments. On December 31, 2020, the transaction was close.
In February 2022 the Board of Directors of PRISA has approved, by unanimity, the signing of a lock-up agreement (the "Lock-Up Agreement") that incorporates a term sheet with the basic conditions for the amendment of the Group's syndicated financial debt (the "Refinancing"). The basic terms of the agreed Refinancing consist, among other aspects, in the extension of the maturity of the financial debt to 2026 and 2027 and division of the syndicated loan into two differentiated tranches (one of Senior debt and one of Junior debt) and the flexibilization of the contractual commitments of the current debt that will allow, among other improvements, to increase PRISA's operating flexibility and soften the financial

ratios required by its current contracts. Likewise, a Term Sheet has been signed with the basic conditions for the modification of the Super Senior debt ("Super Senior Term & Revolving Facilities Agreement") of the Company that, among other terms, supposes an extension of the maturity of the debt to June 2026. On April 19, 2022, the Refinancing entered into force, once the agreements reached with all of its creditors had concluded.
Finally, in January 2023, the Board of Directors of PRISA unanimously agreed to issue subordinated bonds mandatorily convertible into newly issued ordinary shares of the Company, with pre-emptive subscription rights for PRISA shareholders. This issue took place through a public offer for subscription of up to a total of EUR 130 million. In February 2023, convertible bonds amounting to a total of EUR 130 million were subscribed, i.e. the full amount of the offer.
The issue has enabled the Company to raise the funds necessary to partially pay off early the tranche of the PRISA's syndicated financial debt that constitutes its largest interest financial expense, i.e. the Junior debt tranche (see note 7.3). This has entailed an amortization in February 2023 of EUR 110 million of the aforementioned Junior debt. This issuance improves the equity of the Company insofar as the aforementioned instrument has been deemed a compound financial instrument, in which virtually the entire amount of the cash received from said issuance has been registered as net equity, given that the stock of debentures will be necessarily converted into new shares of the Company at a fixed exchange rate (see notes 1 and 20).
As of December 31, 2022, the equity of the Company is greater than two thirds of total share capital, which is why it was in a situation of equity balance at that date.
As indicated under "Accounting Policies," the Company files consolidated income tax returns in Spain, in accordance with the Spanish Corporation Tax Law, and is the Parent of consolidated tax group 2/91. The companies included in the consolidated tax group are detailed in Appendixes I and II.
As the parent of the aforementioned consolidated tax group, Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. recognises the Group's overall position vis-à-vis the tax authorities resulting from application of the consolidated tax regime, in accordance with the following table:

The permanent differences correspond mainly to: (i) the different accounting and tax treatment of investment valuation provisions and risks and expenses, and others concepts, and generate an increase of EUR 514 thousand, (ii) a negative adjustment of the exemption of dividends, for EUR 3,607 thousand, to which article 21 of the Spanish Corporation Tax Law applies, (iii) a negative adjustment of the tax merger difference corresponding to 2022 for EUR 19,294 thousand, arising from the merger operation of the companies Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. and Prisa Televisión, S.A.U. (merger by takeover described in Note 17 of the Financial Statement corresponding to 2013), applying the requirements of Article 89.3 of the Tax Law in force at that time to give it tax effect, (iv) a positive adjustment for the contributions made to non-profit organizations for EUR 118 thousand, which generated an expense not deductible from the taxable profit, (v) a positive adjustment of EUR 582 thousand arising from the non-deductibility of the rental expense relating to the properties transferred in 2008, as it is incompatible with the deduction for reinvestment of extraordinary income

generated in 2008 and (vi) a positive adjustment for the limitation of the deductibility of financial expenses outlined in article 16 of the aforementioned Income Tax Law, which amounts to EUR 56,691 thousand.
The temporary differences come from the recovery by tenths of the amount subject to the limitation of the deductibility of the amortisation expense provided for in article 7 of Law 16/2012, of December 27, by which various directed tax measures are adopted to the consolidation of public finances and the boost to economic activity amounting to EUR 186 thousand.
The income tax adjustment for prior years mainly included the recognition of the effect of the tax audit for 2016-2018, which generated an income of EUR 1,416 thousand, as well as the effect of the final income tax settlement for 2020, which generated an expense of EUR 329 thousand.

The detail of the maturity of the Tax Group's tax deductions, is as follows:
The Company has not recognised deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses and deductions at 31 December 2022 as it considers that the generation of taxable income in future years is not reasonably assured.
In this fiscal year, a ruling was issued by the Supreme Court on the audits of the consolidated tax group's corporate income tax corresponding to the 2006 to 2008 financial years, which confirms the partially favourable ruling passed by the National High Court and concludes the proceedings. No additional impact on equity will be derived from these actions.
In this fiscal year, a decision to deny leave to proceed regarding the Company's petition for review by the Supreme Court of the Value Added Tax for the period from June 2007 to December 2008 was passed, which concludes the proceedings. No additional impact on equity will be derived from these actions.
In 2016 ended the audit procedure regarding the Value Added Tax for the period of May 2010 to December 2011 of VAT Group 105/08 of which Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. is the parent company, with the signing of a notice of agreement for the amount of EUR 512 thousand, which was paid and recorded in 2016; and another notice of disagreement for the amount of EUR 7,785 thousand, which, although it was appealed, was also paid and recorded with a charge to the consolidated income statement. Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. filed an economic-administrative appeal which was partially upheld by the TEAC. During the year 2021, the partially upholding Resolution of the TEAC executed, which generated a return of EUR 8,068 thousand, that was mainly accounted as financial income in that year (see note 12).

Inspection procedures for personal income tax withholdings for the period between May 2010 and December 2012 also ended in that year, and Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. signed notice of disagreement in the amount of EUR 196 thousand. In 2020 an estimatory ruling was received on the economic-administrative appeal relating to the personal income tax dossier for the period May 2010 to December 2012, in addition to the disciplinary proceedings derived from these inspections, and in 2021 EUR 229 thousand were refunded as a result of execution of this estimatory ruling.
Similarly, they ended in 2016, the audits related to the Corporate Tax corresponding to 2009 to 2011 in Fiscal Consolidation Group 2/91, of which Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. is the parent company, resulting in the signing of a Notice in disagreement with no amounts payable and whose impact was recorded in accounting in that year. However, due to a disagreement with the criteria used by the inspection authority in the regularisation proposed, the corresponding claims and appeals have been issued, which are awaiting a verdict from the Supreme Court at the time these statements were prepared. No additional impact on equity will be derived from these actions.
In 2019 the inspections of corporation tax for the years 2012 to 2015 came to an end, no amounts were stipulated for deposit, and the main effect of this was a redistribution of tax credits from one category to another. The Company filed the corresponding economicadministrative appeal to the TEAC, and subsequently a contentious-administrative appeal to the National Court of Spain, which is currently pending a ruling.
In 2021, the inspection procedures relating to Value Added Tax for the periods 2016-2018 of VAT Group 105/08 were completed, with the signing of (i) a conformity assessment corresponding to years 2017 and 2018 from which no tax liability arose and (ii) a settlement agreement relating to the 2016 financial year amounting to EUR 147 thousand, which was paid by the Company and that is undergoing an economic-administrative claim before the Central Economic Administrative Court.
Also, in the 2021 financial year, the inspection procedure to the Corporate Tax relating to the 2016 to 2018 financial years of tax consolidation group 2/91, of which Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. is the parent, was completed with the signing of an Act of Conformity resulting in an amount of EUR 789 thousand to be returned.
Finally, in 2021 inspections came to an end relating to withholdings by residents and nonresidents in 2017 and 2018 for the Company, with no regularisations arising.
The Company has all state taxes open to examination from 2019 to 2022. Additionally, the Company has the last four years open to examination for all non-state taxes. It is not expected that there will be accrued liabilities of consideration to the Company in addition to those already registered, as a result of these procedures or of a future and possible inspection.

aforementioned legislation, made in previous years, are included in the notes to the financial statements of the years in which these transactions took place.

The main changes under the heading "Provisions for long-term third-party liability" corresponded basically to the decreases in the provisions established to cover the negative equity that at December 31, 2022, presented the company Promotora de Actividades América 2010, S.L (Company in liquidation) (EUR 6 thousand), and the amount recorded during 2021 for the company Prisa Gestión Financiera, S.L. (Sole proprietorship) (EUR 1,287 thousand) which were both recognized with a charge to the heading "Impairment of financial assets" in the accompanying income statement. Due to the contribution made to re-establish the balance of Prisa Gestión Financiera, S.L. (Sole proprietorship) (see note 7.1) last amount along with the recording at December 31, 2020 was transferred at a lower value for the stake, under the heading transfers.

The main changes under the heading "Provisions for short-term third-party liability" included a provision associated with an unfavourable ruling received by Telefónica and communicated to Prisa by the latter in January 2022, which has been appealed, in relation to certain operations of Distribuidora de Televisión Digital, S.A. ("DTS"), a subsidiary that was sold to the aforementioned company in 2015. The agreement for the sale of DTS to Telefónica contemplated the assumption by Prisa of a percentage of the damages arising from these legal proceedings, for which reason a provision of EUR 3,320 thousand has been recognised at December 31, 2021 as it is considered probable that an outflow of resources will be required (see note 7.2).
At the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 25, 2018, a Medium-Term Incentive Plan was approved for the period between 2018 and 2020, consisting of the delivery of Company shares associated on the one hand, with the performance of the stock exchange value and, on the other hand, the achievement of certain economic objectives (EBITDA and Cash Flow) (nondiscriminatory conditions), aimed at the CEO of PRISA (Mr. Manuel Mirat Santiago) and certain directors, who may could have received a certain number of ordinary shares of the Company after a reference period of 3 years and provided that certain pre-defined requirements were met. At the beginning of the Plan, the Company assigned a certain number of "theoretical shares" ("Restricted Stock Units") to each beneficiary, which was served as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be delivered.
In 2021 PRISA's Board of Directors verified the degree of achievement of the Ebitda and Cash Flow objectives referred to in the Plan, approving the number of shares to be delivered to the beneficiaries for settlement (a total of 2,115,328 shares).
At the request of the Plan beneficiaries, the Board of Directors resolved that settlement and delivery of this compensation be delayed until January-February 2022 (according to the general conditions that regulated this compensation plan, delivery should have been made within 60 days to the formulation of the 2020 annual accounts).
The Plan payout was made in February 2022, through delivery of shares or their cash-value equivalent, according to the preference of each of the plan beneficiaries. In total, 905,302 PRISA shares were delivered and EUR 703 thousand in cash payments were made, including the tax. In 2022 the Company's net equity figure was reduced due to the cash paid out (EUR 703 thousand).
The decision to give the beneficiaries the option of a cash payment was made by PRISA's Delegated Committee, at the proposal of the Appointments, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee, on January 25, 2022. That possibility was provided for in the General Conditions that govern the Incentive Plan. The cash value of the shares was calculated based on the share trading price on the day the decision was made (January 25, 2022).

The Executive Director of Santillana, Mr Francisco Cuadrado (who is, in turn, executive director of PRISA) is the beneficiary of a medium-term incentive plan linked to the achievement of certain quantitative financial targets set out in Santillana's budget (linked to EBIT and Cash Flow) in fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 and is payable in shares. The plan was approved by the Board of Directors of PRISA on May 24, 2022, and was also approved at the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting held on June 28, 2022.
Mr Cuadrado has been granted with a theoretical number of shares equivalent to EUR 500 thousand gross for each year of the plan's duration, which will serve as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be delivered (he has been assigned 923,494 theoretical shares for each year of the Plan, that is, a total of 3,693,976 theoretical shares). The calculations have been made considering the average stock market value of PRISA shares during the last quarter of 2021.
In addition, the incentive may be increased depending on the evolution of PRISA's share price.
The Executive Director of PRISA Media, Mr Carlos Nuñez (who is, in turn, executive director of PRISA) is the beneficiary of a medium-term incentive plan linked to the achievement of certain quantitative financial targets set out in PRISA Media's budget (linked to EBITDA, Cash Flow and digital revenues) in fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 and is payable in shares. The plan was approved by the Board of Directors of PRISA on December 21, 2021 and was subsequently modified by the Board (to extend it until 2025 in line with the Company's Strategic Plan) and was also approved at the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting held on June 28, 2022.
Mr Nuñez has been granted with a theoretical number of shares equivalent to EUR 500 thousand gross for each year of the plan's duration, which will serve as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be delivered (he has been assigned 923,494 theoretical shares for each year of the Plan, that is, a total of 3,693,976 theoretical shares). The calculations have been made considering the average stock market value of PRISA shares during the last quarter of 2021.
In addition, the incentive may be increased depending on the evolution of PRISA's share price.
PRISA´s former CFO Mr David Mesonero (who has resigned from this position as of June 30, 2022) has been beneficiary of a medium-term incentive plan linked to the achievement of certain quantitative financial targets set out in PRISA´s budget (linked to Cash Flow) in fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, payable in shares. The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors of PRISA in December 21, 2021, and was subsequently amended on April 26, 2022, by the Board (to extend it until 2025, in line with the Company's Strategic Plan).

Mr. Mesonero had been assigned with a number of theoretical shares equivalent to EUR 300 thousand gross for each year the plan is in effect, which would serve as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be awarded. The calculation was made considering the average trading value of PRISA shares during the last quarter of 2021. The incentive may likewise increased in view of the evolution of PRISA's share price.
The Plan also envisioned an increment if refinancing was achieved in the terms set forth in the Plan. Refinancing was implemented in April 2022, and expense of EUR 193 thousand was recorded, based on the performance of this refinancing objective and considering the listed price of PRISA's shares at the time of communication of those objectives.
This Plan was terminated at the time of termination of Mr. Mesonero's contractual relationship with the Company.
In 2022, Mr. Mesonero has received, in shares, the part of the Plan that was linked to the Company's refinancing objective.
PRISA´s CFO, Ms Pilar Gil is beneficiary of a medium-term incentive plan linked to the achievement of certain quantitative financial targets set out in PRISA´s budget (linked to the adjusted Cash Flow of Grupo PRISA) in fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, payable in shares, in similar terms to those of his predecessor in office, Mr. David Mesonero, but with the necessary adaptations. The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on July 26, 2022.
Ms. Gil has been assigned with a number of theoretical shares equivalent to EUR 300 thousand gross for each year the plan is in effect, which would serve as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be awarded. The calculation was made considering the average trading value of PRISA shares during the last quarter of 2021.
Likewise the incentive may likewise increase in view of the evolution of PRISA's share price.
In 2002 it has been registered an expense of EUR 103 thousand, based on the level of performance of objectives and considering the listed price of PRISA's shares at the time of communication of those objectives.
At its meeting held on April 26, 2022, PRISA's Board of Directors approved a medium-term incentive plan benefiting some PRISA Media, Santillana and PRISA executives. Only one of the members of the senior management group is a beneficiary of this Plan.
The Plan, payable in shares, is linked to the fulfillment of the following quantitative financial objectives, in the years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025: i) in the case of PRISA Media, the objectives are linked to EBITDA, Cash Flow and digital income of its budget; ii) in the case of Santillana are linked to the EBIT and Cash Flow of its budget and iii) in the case of PRISA are linked to the adjusted cash flow of Prisa Group of its budget.

Each management group in PRISA Media and Santillana has been assigned a number of theoretical shares equivalent to EUR 700 thousand gross for each year the Plan is in effect, and the management group in PRISA has been assigned a number of theoretical shares equivalent to EUR 125 thousand gross for each year the Plan is in effect, which will serve as a reference for determining the final number of shares to be awarded. The calculations have been based on the average PRISA share trading price during the 4th quarter of 2021.
In 2022 an expense amounting to EUR 43 thousand was registered for this plan based on the level of performance of objectives and considering the listed price of PRISA's shares at the time of communication of those objectives.
At December 31, 2022, Prisa had furnished bank guarantees amounting to EUR 339 thousand (EUR 601 thousand at December 31, 2021). Additionally, the Company is the joint and several guarantor of the obligations incurred under the lease contract of the offices of C/ Miguel Yuste of which Diario El País, S.L. is the lessee, and the lease contract of the offices of C/Gran Vía, 32, Madrid and C/Caspe 6-20, Barcelona, of which Sociedad Española de Radiodifusión, S.L.U. is the lessee.
The Company is also the joint and several guarantor of the payment of the deferred price for the purchase by Prisa Media, S.A. (Sole Proprietorship) of 20% of Prisa Radio, S.A. shares, which were owned by Grupo Godó de Comunicación, SA., for an amount of EUR 15,000 thousand, payable by Prisa Radio, S.A. in May 2023.
In the opinion of the Company's Directors, the possible effect on the accompanying income statements of the guarantees provided would not be significant.

PRISA´s former CFO Mr David Mesonero (who has resigned from this position as of June 30, 2022) has been beneficiary of a medium-term incentive plan linked to the achievement of certain quantitative financial targets set out in PRISA´s budget (linked to Cash Flow) in fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, payable in shares. The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors of PRISA in December 2021, and was subsequently amended on April 26, 2022, by the Board (to extend it until 2025, in line with the Company's Strategic Plan).
Mr. Mesonero had been assigned a number of theoretical shares equivalent to EUR 300 thousand gross for each year the plan is in effect, which would serve as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be awarded. The calculation was made considering the average trading value of PRISA shares during the last quarter of 2021. The incentive may likewise increased in view of the evolution of PRISA's share price.
The Plan also envisioned an increment if refinancing was achieved in the terms set forth in the Plan. Refinancing was implemented in April 2022, and an expense of EUR 193 thousand was recorded, considering the compliance with the aforementioned objective and considering the listed price of PRISA's shares at the time of communication of that objective.
This Plan was terminated at the time of termination of Mr. Mesonero's contractual relationship with the Company. In 2022, Mr. Mesonero has received, in shares, the part of the Plan that was linked to the Company's refinancing objective.

o "PRISA 2022-2025 Incentive Plan of the CFO Ms Pilar Gil":
PRISA´s CFO, Ms Pilar Gil is beneficiary of a medium-term incentive plan linked to the achievement of certain quantitative financial targets set out in PRISA´s budget (linked to the adjusted Cash Flow of PRISA Group) in fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, payable in shares, in similar terms to those of his predecessor in office, Mr. David Mesonero, but with the necessary adaptations. The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on July 26, 2022.
Ms. Gil has been assigned a number of theoretical shares equivalent to EUR 300 thousand gross for each year the plan is in effect, which would serve as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be awarded. The calculation was made considering the average trading value of PRISA shares during the last quarter of 2021.
Likewise the incentive may likewise increase in view of the evolution of PRISA's share price.
It has been registered an expense of EUR 103 thousand, considering the compliance with the aforementioned objective and considering the listed price of PRISA's shares at the time of communication of that objective.
o In the 2022 an expense amounting to EUR 49 thousand has been recorded for the termination of the contractual relationship of Mr. Mesonero.
i. As of December 31, 2021, the managers were the following: the Secretary to the Board of Directors (Mr Pablo Jiménez de Parga, who joined the Company in July 2021), the CFO (Mr David Mesonero, who also joined the Company in July 2021), the Chief of Communication and Institutional Relations (Mr Jorge Rivera) and the Prisa's Director of Internal Audits (Ms Virginia Fernández).
Until June 2021 members of Senior Management were the members of the now extinct Management Committee and those who were generally in attendance at its meetings who were not executive directors of Prisa and had an employment or mercantile relationship with Prisa and other companies in the Group, and the Internal Audit Manager of Prisa. Consequently, the overall remuneration of the Senior Management includes that of Mr Xavier Pujol, Mr Guillermo de Juanes and Mr Augusto Delkader, until they respectively ceased as General Secretary and Secretary to the Board of Directors, CFO and Director Editorial. Likewise, it's included the remuneration of the previous members and assistants of the Management Committee, Mr. Jorge Bujía (Director of Risk Control and Management Control) and Ms. Marta Bretos (Director of HR and Talent Management), until June 30, 2021.

Transactions between Group companies, associates and related parties-

In 2022 and 2021, the following amounts are registered in respect of remuneration to Group's Board members:
| Thousands of euros | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | |
| Compensation for belonging to the Board and/ or Board Committees |
1,100 | 1,027 |

| Compensation systems based on shares | - | 322 |

The aggregated remuneration of Prisa directors reflected in the table above corresponds to the expense recorded by Prisa and consequently it corresponds to the accounting provisions registered in the income statement.
Therefore the compensation included in the table above, do not match, in some respects, with the remuneration that will be included in the Annual Remuneration Report of the Directors 2022 (IR) and in the Annual Report on Corporate Governance 2022 (IAGC), in which it is followed the criteria required by the Circular 3/2021 of the CNMV, whereby the model of annual report remuneration of directors is established, which is not the accounting provision basis.
At the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis (first quarter 2020) and in order to mitigate the negative impact of the current situation which has an special effect on the main sources of income generation of all kind of media, the Board of Directors of PRISA resolved to put in place a contingency plan to adequate the cost structures of the businesses to the foreseeable circumstances which gave rise to a series of measures in 2020 and 2021. Some of these measures have continue to be applied to non-executive directors of PRISA in the 2022 financial year:

measures were adopted to contribute to dealing with this complicated scenario and it was proposed to all employees with annual gross remuneration of EUR 85 thousand or higher, a temporary salary reduction (of 10% of the fixed remuneration and including the then CEO) during 2021.
Likewise it was applied a 20% reduction in the remuneration of the non executive Board members during the same time period (although this would not affect of the remuneration of the non-executive Chairman, whose remuneration had already been cut by 50%, from EUR 400 thousand to EUR 200 thousand in December 2020).
o Fiscal year 2022: To minimize the effects caused by the COVID-19 crisis, the Board of Directors agreed that during 2022 a 20% reduction will continue to be applied in the remuneration of non-executive directors. The remuneration of the non-executive chairman has continued to be exempted from the foregoing and, in addition, remuneration corresponding to the chairmanship of the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee, the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee and the Sustainability Committee has been exempted, given the special workload, dedication and responsibility that such positions entail. These measures were already announced in the Director Remuneration Report sent to the CNMV dated March 29, 2022 (registration number: 15203).
i. The overall remuneration of the Board of Directors includes that of Mr. Roberto Alcántara Rojas up to the time of his cessation as a director (June 28, 2022) as well as that corresponding to the new director, Mr. Andrés Varela Entrecanales, from the date of his appointment (September 7, 2022).
The remuneration of the executive directors (Mr. Francisco Cuadrado, Executive Chairman of Santillana and Mr. Carlos Nuñez, Executive Chairman of PRISA Media) is paid by Santillana and Prisa Media, respectively, so they have not been recorded in the table above.
At the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 25, 2018, a Medium Term Incentive Plan was approved for the period falling between 2018 and 2020", consisting of the award of Company shares linked to stock market value and to

the performance of certain economic objectives (Ebitda and Cash Flow), targeted at the former CEO of Prisa and certain managers, who may received a certain number of ordinary shares of the Company following a reference period of 3 years, provided that certain predefined requirements are met. The Company assigned a certain number of restricted stock units ("Restricted Stock Units" or "RSUs") to each beneficiary, which would serve as a reference to determine the final number of shares to be delivered.
In 2021 the Board of Directors verified the level of fulfilment of the Ebitda and Cash Flow objectives to which the Incentive Plan was pegged, and the Board agreed the number of shares to be awarded to the beneficiaries (a total of 2,115,328 shares) at the settlement date.
At the request of the beneficiaries of this compensation plan, the Board of Directors resolved that settlement and delivery of this Compensation be delayed until January/February 2022 (according to the general conditions regulating this compensation plan, that delivery should be made within 60 days after the 2020 accounts are prepared).
This Plan has been settled in February 2022, through the delivery of the shares or their equivalent value in cash, as chosen by each of the beneficiaries of the plan. The decision to give the beneficiaries the option of a cash payment was made by PRISA's Delegated Committee, at the proposal of the Appointments, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee, on January 25, 2022. That possibility was provided for in the General Conditions that govern the Incentive Plan. The cash equivalent value of the shares was calculated based on the listed price of the shares on the day this decision was made (January 25, 2022).
In 2022 no expense has been recorded for the settlement of this Plan.
iv. No other credits, advances or loans occurred, nor were pension obligations incurred, in respect of the Board of Directors during 2022.
Mr. Carlos Nuñez is the head and Executive Chairman of Prisa Media since May 24, 2021. Mr. Nuñez joined Prisa's Board of Directors at June 29, 2021.
Mr. Manuel Mirat Santiago ceased to be Prisa's CEO at June 29, 2021 and on that same date took over as head of the Education area, assuming the duties of Santillana's

executive chairman. Subsequently, at July 27, 2021 the Board of Directors approved the succession to Santillana's chairmanship and Mr. Mirat was replaced by Mr. Francisco Cuadrado as Santillana's executive chairman. On that same date, Mr. Mirat resigned as Executive Director of Prisa and the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Cuadrado as an Executive Director of Prisa to fill the vacancy existing on Prisa's Board.
As a result of the above, the Company evolved from having a single Executive Director (the former CEO, Mr. Manuel Mirat) to having two Executive Directors, one being the Executive Chairman of Education (Santillana) (Mr. Francisco Cuadrado) and the other being Executive Chairman of Prisa Media (Mr. Carlos Nuñez). Compensation for Messrs. Cuadrado and Nuñez are paid respectively by Santillana and Prisa Media, which is not reflected in the table above.

For purposes of article 229 of the Capital Companies Act it is noted that, as at the end of 2022, the Board of Directors had not been advised of direct or indirect conflict situations that directors or persons related thereto (in accordance with article 231 of the aforesaid Act) might have had with the interests of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors has been informed by the Directors of the following activities carried out by them or by certain persons related thereto, in companies engaged in activities of the same or an analogous or complementary kind as the one constituting the purpose of the Company or the companies in its Group:

Mr. Oughourlian also act as a managing partner to Amber Capital and as a portfolio manager to various Amber Funds.
(**) Mundi Ventures has investments in 70 technology companies, which are listed on the website www.mundiventures.com.
The companies in the PRISA Group are not included in this list. As already indicated in the Annual Corporate Governance Report of the Company, as of December 31, 2022, the directors

Francisco Cuadrado, Carlos Nuñez, Rosauro Varo, Manuel Polanco Moreno, Miguel Barroso (representant of the director Amber Capital UK LLP), Teresa Quirós and Maria José Marín Rey Stolle, were members of management bodies of certain companies in the PRISA Group or indirectly participated by PRISA.
The Company hasn`t any litigation at December 31, 2022 from which the Directors, internal and external advisors consider that any relevant liabilities will arise from this litigation additional to what was discussed in note 13 above.
In January 2023, the Board of Directors of PRISA unanimously agreed to issue subordinated bonds mandatorily convertible into newly issued ordinary shares of the company, with preemptive subscription rights of PRISA shareholders. This issue takes place through a public offer for subscription of a nominal amount up to a total of EUR 130 million, through the issue and putting into circulation of up to a total of 351,350 convertible bonds with a face value of EUR 370 each.
The maturity date of these convertible bonds and conversion into new shares will be on the fifth anniversary of the issue date (February 2028). However, holders of these convertible bonds will be entitled to request the early conversion of the number of convertible bonds that they deem necessary into new Company shares, at their discretion, in the set conversion periods.
A price of EUR 0.37 per new share has been set for the conversion of the convertible bonds. This is a fixed conversion price until their maturity date, which will be subject to the adjustments that are customary for issuing this type of instrument to ensure that, in the event that certain corporate transactions are carried out or certain resolutions are adopted that may result in the dilution of the value of the Company's shares, the conversion price is adjusted so that such transactions or resolutions affect the Company's shareholders and the holders of the convertible bonds equally.
The convertible bonds will bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.00% (which cannot be capitalised) and payable upon conversion into ordinary shares.
In February 2023, convertible bonds amounting to a total of EUR 130 million were subscribed, meaning 351,350 convertible bonds have been issued. Insofar as a fixed conversion price has been established (see above), without prejudice to the adjustment mechanisms which are customary in this type of transaction, the maximum number of new shares to be issued in connection with the voluntary or mandatory conversion of the convertible bonds on the basis of this conversion price is 351,350,000 new shares, which represents 47.44% of the Company's current share capital and 32.17% of the Company's share capital following the conversion of convertible bonds into new shares (again considering the current share capital).
The convertible bonds are expected to be admitted to trading on the Spanish regulated fixed
income market (AIAF).
The issue is an instrument to reduce PRISA's syndicated financial debt, which is linked to a variable interest rate and which was refinanced in April 2022. This has enabled the Company to raise the funds necessary, mainly, and in accordance with the financing agreements entered into, to partially pay off early the tranche of the PRISA's syndicated financial debt that constitutes its largest interest financial expense, i.e. the Junior debt tranche, which is benchmarked at Euribor+8% (including cash and capitalisable cost), which as at December 31, 2022 totalled EUR 192,013 thousand (see note 7.3). In February, 2023 the Company had cancelled EUR 110 million of Junior debt.
The issue of this bond mandatorily convertible into shares has been treated and recorded in 2023 as a compound financial instrument, because it is includes both liability and equity components. The Company recognises, measures and presents the liability and equity components created by a single financial instrument separately on its balance sheet.
The Company distributes the value of its instruments in accordance with the following criteria which, barring error, will not be subsequently reviewed:
Following this, the liability component has been calculated as the present value of the cash coupons payable, considering that the mandatory conversion will take place at the end of the bond's life, without considering early conversions, insofar as early conversions are out of the Company's control. As a result, a financial liability of approximately EUR 4 million has been recorded. The difference between the amount of this liability and the face value of the coupons will be recorded and posted in the income statement during the life of the aforementioned instrument using the effective interest method.
An equity component has been recorded because a residual share in a company's assets is evident, after deducting all of its liabilities, since the bond is mandatorily convertible into a fixed number of shares and does not include any contractual obligation to hand over cash or any other financial asset other than the payment of the aforementioned coupons. Therefore, as a result of recording the transaction at the fair value of the equity instruments being issued, an equity instrument amounting to approximately EUR 126 million has been accounted, resulting from the difference between the cash received for the issue of the convertible bond and the liability described in the previous paragraph, thereby increasing the net consolidated equity by this amount. The conversion price of the convertible bonds does not substantially differ from the listed value of the PRISA shares during the subscription period of the convertible bond.
The transaction costs have mainly been recorded as a decrease in the consolidated net profit, since almost all of the convertible bond has been recorded as an equity instrument.

Moreover, the early, partial cancellation of the aforementioned Junior debt will result in a financial expense of approximately EUR 6 million being recorded in 2023. This amount is due to the difference between the nominal amount of the cancelled debt and its initial fair value at the time of the Refinancing, which at the time was pending being posted in the income statement during this refinancing period, and which caused a financial income in April 2022, as described in notes 7.3 and 12.
These financial statements are presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in Spain. Certain accounting practices applied by the Company that conform with generally accepted accounting principles in Spain may not conform with generally accepted accounting principles in other countries.

Individual Directors' Report for 2022

Prisa's results are directly related to the performance of the Group's various business units. Its revenue arises mainly from the dividends it receives from its subsidiaries and its expenses relate to staff costs and services received. The variations in the equity of its subsidiaries also give rise to increases and decreases in the value of its investment portfolio.
The Group's businesses continue to move forward with their strategic roadmap, presented in the Capital Markets Day of March 2022, with a focus on digital transformation, acceleration of subscription models and development of new digital formats, within a framework of continuous efficiency improvement plans.
By the end 2022, the Education business reaches 2.6 million subscriptions in its education systems. In the Media business, there is an average of 231 million monthly unique browsers, an average of 45 million monthly audio content downloads and 80 million of total listening hours. Regarding El País, accounts for 266,000 total subscribers.
PRISA's social mission, as a business group focused on two essential sectors such as Education and Media, takes full meaning with the events that are taking place in recent years (the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, etc). Reliable and accurate information and access to better education play a more significant role than ever before. Therefore, in these crisis situations, the Group has given the highest priority to the continuity of its activities, reaffirming its social commitment. In support of Spanish and Latin American society, PRISA continues to guarantee access to: comprehensive, accurate and truthful information; quality entertainment; and, of course, a wide range of educational services.
In 2022, the start of the war in Ukraine has contributed to a gradual worsening of the macroeconomic conditions, with higher inflation rates and interests and lower growth expectations for the global economy. In this environment, the summary of the Group's results, compared to 2021, is as follows:
- Operating income amounted to EUR 850.2 million (+14.7% vs 2021; +9.7% in local currency). The Education business shows a significant improvement, mainly driven by the private business due to the expansion of the subscription models based on educational systems, the extraordinary institutional sale in Argentina and the recovery of traditional didactic sales after 2021 was still affected by the pandemic. The public business is in line with 2021 due to higher sales in Mexico and Brazil, which offset the cancellation of the institutional sale in the Dominican Republic. The Media business shows an improvement in advertising revenues and growth in the digital paywall subscription model of El País.

Exchange rates have had an impact on the performance of the Group's results, mainly due to appreciation in Brazilian real, Mexican peso and US dollar: +EUR 37.4 million in income and +EUR 6.9 million in EBITDA. In this sense, PRISA defines the impact of exchange rates as the difference between the financial figure converted at the exchange rate of the current year and

the same financial figure converted at the exchange rate of the previous year. The Group monitors both operating income and profit from operations excluding the aforementioned exchange rate effect for comparability purposes and to measure management by isolating the effect of currency fluctuations in the various countries. This "alternative performance measure" is therefore important in order to be able to measure and compare the Group's performance in isolation of the exchange rate effect, which distorts comparability between years.
The following table shows the exchange rate effect on operating income and EBITDA for the Education and Media business and for the PRISA Group in 2022 and 2021 (in millions of euros):

Education business continues to develop with a focus on expansion of subscription models based on education systems. In 2022, the number of subscriptions rose by 33% to 2,626 thousand subscriptions, and learning systems sales grew in line (+43.6%). Private didactic sales also grew significantly compared to 2021 (+43.1%), due to the recovery after the impact of the pandemic at the beginning of 2021 in southern countries, the improvement in northern campaign countries and also due to the extraordinary institutional sale in Argentina. Regarding public sales, sales are roughly in line with 2021 in euros due to the increase in Brazil and Mexico offset the cancellation of the institutional sale in the Dominican Republic.

distribution and inflation. Efficiency measures partially offset the increase in expenses.
Media business continues to focus on brand leadership in the Spanish-speaking market, on digital transformation and growth of subscribers in El País. In 2022, audio downloads saw a monthly average of 45 million (up by +35%) and hours of streaming listening (TLH) stood at 80 million (an increase of +19%). Besides, Prisa Media achieves 231 million monthly average unique browsers. On the other hand, El País digital subscription model accounts for 227,000 subscribers in December 2022. Regarding the operating income, 2022 shows growth driven by the recovery in radio advertising and the development in El País subscription model.
The Group's net bank debt increased by EUR 100.3 million during 2022 and amounted to EUR 856.4 million at December 31, 2022, due to the Group's cash needs during the year 2022, including the acquisition of 20% stake of Prisa Radio and the refinancing costs amounting to EUR 30 million and EUR 16 million, respectively. This debt indicator is an "alternative measure of performance" and includes non-current and current bank borrowings, excluding present value in financial instruments/loan arrangements costs, diminished by current financial assets, cash and cash equivalents and is important for the analysis of the Group's financial position.

The Group has taken steps to maximize its liquidity, with an available cash at the end of December amounting to EUR 179.5 million and EUR 25 million of available unused credit facilities and other credit lines.
The Group's outlook is to continue on its strategic roadmap, with a priority focus on generating added value through digital transformation and the commitment to subscription models, in order to maximize the results of its businesses in the future, strengthen the balance sheet structure, generate cash flow and reduce debt.
Recent years have been marked by a general climate of almost constant volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. This makes it difficult to predict future business performance, especially in the medium and long term. This environment of complexity has been greatly aggravated as a result of different events that are having a great impact at a global level: COVID-19 pandemic, war in Ukraine, disruptions in the supply chain, significant increase in inflation rates, increase in the price of energy resources, or rise in interest rates, to name some of the most relevant.
According to the latest edition of the World Bank's "Global Economic Prospects" (January 2023), global growth is slowing sharply due to high inflation, rising interest rates, reduced investment, and disruptions caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This slowdown in the world economy could turn into a prolonged period of low growth and high inflation (stagflation).
In general, both the Education business and the Media business tend to develop in a way that is very much subject to the macroeconomic environment. For example, in terms of costs, raw materials, energy resources or distribution, they are being affected as a result of rising inflation and environmental disruptions in the supply chain.
In addition, in the case of the Media, the behavior of the advertising market is particularly affected. PRISA's activities and investments in Spain and Latin America are exposed to the development of the different macroeconomic parameters of each country, including the development of currency exchange rates.

On this matter, the war in Ukraine with its macro-economic impact is lowering growth in the economies, delaying the effects of recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the IMF for the year 2023 (figures from the October 2022 report), GDP expected growth for advanced economies will be +1.1% (vs +2.4% in 2022). For Spain, the IMF expects a +1.2% growth (+4.3% in 2022). The main countries in which PRISA operates in Latin America will also experience a slowdown in its 2023 growth according to IMF: Brazil will grow +1.0% (+2.8% in 2022), Mexico +1.2% (+2.1% in 2022), Colombia +2.2% (+7.6% in 2022), Peru +2.6% (+2.7% in 2022), Argentina +2.0% (+4.0% in 2022) and Chile will fall by -1.0% (+2.0% in 2022). For the whole of Latin America, it is expected a +1.7% growth for 2023 (+3.5% in 2022).
In line with the development of economic indicators in Latin America, the Group's results have also been affected by exchange rate volatility. In 2022, most of the currencies of Latin American countries have appreciated.
In this environment, as it has been doing in recent decades, the Group will continue to work to adapt to the new reality of its business by defining and implementing the initiatives that may be necessary: strict control of costs and investments, development of new sources of income, transformation and flexibility of business models, etc.
Another factor that affects the future development of PRISA's business is the advertising cycle. 36.4% of the Group's operating income in 2022 will come from advertising. The Media businesses, which are largely dependent on advertising revenues, have a high percentage of fixed costs, so that significant variations in advertising revenues have a significant impact on results, leading to an improvement or worsening of margins and the Group's cash position.
In this regard, during 2021 the advertising market partially recovered from the drastic drop of advertising investment in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and recovery continues in 2022, although somehow affected by the macro-economic consequences of the war in Ukraine, especially in Europe. However, the Group's advertising revenues has grown +3.8% compared to the previous year.
i2P's December 2022 report indicates that the total advertising market in Spain grows by +2.5% for the whole of the year 2022 (+2.8% expected growth for 2023), whereas the market in which is PRISA's media is present grows by +3.2% (+2.1% expected in 2023). The Group's advertising revenues in Spain have grown +1.6% (gross advertising data) in 2022 compared to 2021.
In Latin America, the advertising market also recovered throughout 2021 from the impact of the pandemic. The incidence of the war in Ukraine is not affecting so significantly to date the advertising evolution in the countries in which the Group operates in Latin America. Thus, so far in 2022, the following growths are estimated for the market: +20% in Colombia (according to Asomedios December 2022) and +11% in Chile (according to Asociación de Agencias de Medios, November 2022). PRISA's growth in both countries is as follows: +22% in Colombia and +9% in Chile in 2022 compared to 2021 (gross advertising data, in local currency).
According to the strategic roadmap on which the Group has been working in recent years, Media businesses will continue to develop and reduce their dependence on the performance of the offline advertising market and traditional formats. It will place more and more focus

not only on the traditional advertiser, but also on the content consumer and new digital formats. It is worth mentioning the commitment to digital transformation and the development of subscription models. Significant events such as the launch of El País's digital subscription paywall model, that already reaches 227 thousand digital subscribers, or the development of the value proposition around the concept of audio, highlight the importance of this trend.
In addition, PRISA has the Education business, not so dependent on the economic cycle, which as of December 2022 represents 52.6% of the Group's operating income. Although the Education business has so far proven to be more resilient to crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact, especially on the development of traditional educational sales campaigns. Nevertheless, the pandemic has also implied an opportunity to accelerate the digital transformation towards the subscription models due to the increase of use of educational online platforms, that have thrust its usage precisely during this stage when a face-to-face teaching model was not possible.
During 2022, the reopening of schools has allowed a more efficient commercial campaign and with increasing demand for digital models, which implied a recovery in Santillana's income. The subscription models (educational systems) based on a hybrid teaching methodology (online and offline, face-to-face and distance, paper and digital, school and home, etc.), have continued to grow in 2022, which confirms the importance of the digital transformation strategy at Santillana. On the other hand, the macro-economic situation is affecting the cost of goods sold and the distribution expenses, which is partially offset with cost control measures mainly in non-commercial expenses.
In any of the development scenarios, the strategic roadmap for the Education business will focus on maintaining its leadership position and maximizing growth leveraged on subscription models, with a commitment to these increasingly hybrid formats and methodologies, with a growing weight of the digital component.
Therefore, an important part of the Group's strategy and its business is based on digital development: from continuously developing the value proposition (increasingly digital) to business models more focused on monetization in the digital sphere (subscription models and new digital formats), to, for example, the implementation of technological platforms adapted to the reality of the businesses, or the development of management and use of user data.
Digital audiences of the Group continue to show significant figures. Prisa Media reached a total of 231 million unique browsers on monthly average per year in 2022, almost 7 million registered users (+17% compared to 2021), and 45 million audio downloads (+35% compared to 2021); besides, 227 thousand digital subscribers have been registered in El País at the end of the year. Santillana's educational digital ecosystem continues its expansion and enriching its offer, adapting to the reopening of schools, maintaining levels of usage of the educational platform, above the registers before the pandemic. In this regard, the pandemic has

contributed to intensifying the use of technologies for the consumption of information, education or entertainment, favoring the growth of the Group's digital audiences.
The Group's strategy for the coming years will also continue to be committed to digital development in two of its business units: Media and Education.
As head of the Group, the risks to which Prisa is exposed are directly related to those if its subsidiaries.
The businesses of Group subsidiaries and, therefore, their operation and earnings are subject to risks that may be grouped into the following categories:
In the Corporate Governance Report (see Section E of that report) are detailed specific actions and bodies used to identify, valuate, and manage these risks.
1. Financing risk due to the high level of debt of PRISA, that significantly limits their financial capacity.
The Company's financial obligations are set out in note 7.3 "Financial liabilities" in the attached notes of the year 2022.
As of December 31, 2022, the Group's net bank debt level stood at EUR 856.4 million, which could pose a number of risks to the Group as:
In February 2022, the Board of Directors of PRISA unanimously approved the signing of a lock-up agreement incorporating a term sheet with the basic conditions for the modification

of the Group's syndicated financial debt. On April 19, 2022, the 2022 Refinancing came into force, once the agreements reached with all of its creditors were made public. The basic terms of the Refinancing consisted, inter alia, of extending the maturity of the financial debt to 2026 and 2027, splitting the syndicated loan into two distinct tranches, refinancing the existing Super Senior Debt and relaxing the contractual debt covenants. The agreed Refinancing thus make the Group's financial debt more flexible and provide a financial structure allowing the Group to comply with its financial commitments, ensuring the Group's stability in the short and medium term.
In this regard, and as indicated in note 20 of PRISA's notes, in February 2023 the Company has amortized debt of the Junior tranche for an amount of EUR 110 million, with the funds obtained from the issue of a bond mandatorily convertible into shares, which reduces the Group's level of leverage.
The credit rating assigned to the Company may be reviewed, suspended or removed at any time by one or more of the credit rating agencies. A downgrade of the Company's credit rating could adversely affect the terms of any future refinancing of the Group's financial debt, as well as limit the Group's access to financial markets, investors and certain lenders.
The agreements associated with the Refinancing of the PRISA Group stipulate requirements and commitments to comply with certain leverage and financial ratios (covenants). The new financial contracts set out compliance with certain financial ratios for the PRISA Group, which began to be applied on June 30, 2022 and failure to comply with them would result in early maturity of the bank debt.
The determination of these covenants has been made in consideration of market conditions and in accordance with PRISA's business expectations at the time of negotiation of the Refinancing. However, these conditions and expectations may be modified and affected by the complexity of the markets due to, among other issues, the globalisation of the markets.
The Refinancing agreement also includes causes for early termination as is customary in this kind of agreement, and includes provisions on cross-default, which could cause, if the breach exceeds certain amounts, the early maturity and resolution of the aforementioned contracts.
3. Exposure to variable interest risk.
The Group is exposed to interest rate fluctuations insofar as a significant portion of the cost of the Group's borrowings is linked to floating interest rates (mainly Euribor) thar are periodically updated.
At December 31, 2022 97.67% of the Group's bank borrowings were tied to floating interest rates.
In this respect, although the Group continues to evaluate the contracting of derivative products to limit the impact of potential rises in the Euribor, further increases in interest rates would lead to higher financial expenses and interest payments, which would have a negative

impact on the Group's cash flow. In this sense, at the end 2022 the Company has contracted an interest rate hedge arranged of a nominal amount of EUR 150 million which caps the threemonth Euribor at 2.25%. In addition, in January 2023 a new interest rate hedge has been contracted, in this case, on a nominal of EUR 150 million and a cap of 2.25% (three-month Euribor). If Euribor was below said percentages, such coverages would not be applicable.
PRISA, in its capacity as parent company of the Group carries out its activities through a group of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies, so that, at present, a substantial part of its income comes from the distribution of dividends from its subsidiaries and their consideration as such for accounting purposes. During the 2022 financial year 46.3% of the Company's total income in that period came from the distribution of dividends from its subsidiaries.
An adverse development of the PRISA Group's business for any reason could have a negative impact on the dividend income received by the Company. In addition, a significant part of the Group's companies are located in Latin America and therefore the aforementioned dividends are subject, inter alia, to exchange rate risk and devaluation of the foreign currencies of the countries in which the Group operates. Furthermore, the Refinancing has entailed a reorganisation of the debt in terms of borrowers, which has meant that the entire financial expense associated with the refinanced debt is now recorded in the Company. In this respect, the interest rate of this debt is benchmarked to a variable interest rate, Euribor. There is also a risk that PRISA, as the parent company of a group of subsidiaries, may record possible impairment losses on the carrying amount of its investments when the value in use of the investments is lower than their carrying amount.
In this regard, in the event that the Company does not receive sufficient dividends from its subsidiaries to offset, mainly, the cost of debt financing, possible impairment of assets and financial investments, possible contingencies and other operating costs of the Company, or in the event that the dividends received are not considered income because they do not comply with current accounting regulations, PRISA would incur losses, eroding its equity at the individual level.
Therefore, in the event that the Company incurs losses in the future or that such losses accumulate in subsequent years and the net assets are reduced to less than 2/3 of the share capital (set at EUR 74,065,019.30 at December 31, 2022), a new situation of equity imbalance could arise, in accordance with the provisions of the Capital Companies Act. At December 31, 2022 the net equity of PRISA (as a sole company) amounts to EUR 283 million.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and although this does not affect a possible equity imbalance according to the aforementioned Capital Companies Act (measured based on the net equity of individual companies), Prisa has incurred losses at the consolidated level in past years and periods, mainly due to the accounting impact of certain corporate transactions and extraordinary events and conversion differences, which has caused the consolidated Group to record a negative net equity of EUR 532,160 thousand as at December 31, 2022.

The Group is exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates mainly due to financial investments made in stakes in Latin American companies, as well as revenue and profits from said investments. In 2022, 61.3% of the Group's operating revenues came from countries with a functional currency other than the euro.
A devaluation of the foreign currencies of the countries in which the Group operates against the euro would have an adverse impact on the repatriation of the euro cash of the Group's foreign companies, e.g. via dividends. In this respect, an unfavorable development of the exchange rate effect as a result of an increase in exchange rates against the currencies of the main countries in which the Group has a presence would lead to a negative impact on the consolidated income statement and the Group's cash flow.
At present, the Group does not have any significant exchange rate derivatives. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Group follows the practice of arranging, on the basis of its forecasts and budgets which are analysed on a monthly basis, hedging contracts for exchange rate risk (exchange rate insurance, forwards, structured products and currency options mainly) depending on the risks and opportunities identified in this respect in the markets in order to reduce the volatility of the operations and results of the Group's companies operating abroad.
Furthermore, possible adverse developments in the economies of the Latin American countries in which the Group is present could lead to hyperinflationary situations, with the consequent negative impact on exchange rates.
6. Credit and liquidity risk due to, in other aspects, to the high fixed costs in the advertising sector and the seasonality in the businesses of the Group.
The adverse macroeconomic situation in recent years, mainly due to extraordinary events such as the COVID-19 health crisis in 2020 and 2021 or the war in Ukraine have had a negative impact on the Group's cash generation capacity, with an increase in liquidity tensions in the economy, as well as a contraction of the credit market.
In this respect, advertising-dependent businesses, in addition to being highly dependent on the economic cycle, rely heavily on advertising have a high percentage of fixed costs, and any decline in advertising revenues has major implications for margins and the cash position, making it difficult to implement additional measures to improve Group operating efficiency. At December 31, 2022 advertising revenues represent 36.4% of the Group's operating revenues.
As for the seasonality of business, it is worth noting that, in Media, advertising is mainly concentrated in the last quarter of the year, with the first quarter being a period with lower advertising revenues. In the case of the Education area, the last quarter is also the one with the highest volume of income, coinciding with the beginning of the Southern Campaigns and taking into account that the largest part of Brazil's public sale is invoiced in the referred quarter. However, the second quarter of the year is usually of little relative weight in the total for the year.

Although, on an annual basis, the seasonality of the Group's cash flows is not significant, as the flows from the various business units are offset, largely mitigating the effect of seasonality, the seasonal nature of the Group's businesses could give rise to some cash pressures during periods when collections are structurally lower.
With regard to trade credit risk, which is defined as the possibility that a third party will not meet its contractual obligations, thereby causing losses for the Group, the Group assesses the ageing of receivables and constantly monitors the management of collections and payments associated with all its activities, as well as the maturities of financial and commercial debt and recurrently analyses other sources of financing in order to cover expected cash requirements in the short, medium and long term.
To mitigate this risk the Group has a Super Senior debt ("Super Senior Term &Revolving Facilities Agreement") to meet operational needs for a maximum amount of up to EUR 240 million, that is fully drawn as of December 31, 2022. Likewise, the rest of subsidiaries of the Group have at December 31, 2022 undrawn credit facilities and other credit lines amounting to EUR 25 million (see note 11.b) of the consolidated notes). In addition, as of December 31, 2022, the Group had a cash available of EUR 179.5 million. The Group has also implemented specific plans for the improvement and efficient management of liquidity to address these tensions.
On December 31, 2022 the group had recognised in its consolidated balance sheet intangible assets amounting to EUR 105 million (10.7% of total assets), goodwill amounting to EUR 117 million (11.9% of total assets) and EUR 117,566 thousand (13.9% of total assets) and deferred tax assets of EUR 55 million (5.6% of total assets).
In the analysis of the determination of the recoverable amount (in accordance with current accounting regulations) and thus in the valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, as well as in estimating the recovery of tax credits, estimates are used, made as of the date determined on the basis of the best information available at that date. However, it is possible that future events may make it necessary to change these estimates downwards (i.e., a deterioration in them global macroeconomic situation), which would result in the recognition in the income statement of accounting losses due to the effect of these new negative estimates on the valuation of intangible assets, goodwill and tax credits recognised.
In relation to tax credits, there is a risk of changes or divergences in the interpretation of tax rules in Spain or other jurisdictions in which the Group operates, that could affect the recoverability of these tax credits, together with the Group's ability to generate taxable profits in the period in which such tax credits remain deductible.
The geographical location of the Group's activities is currently concentrated in Spain and Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile and Argentina, among others).

In 2022 61.5% of the Group's operating revenues came from international markets. While America (Latin America+USA) is a significant geographic market for the Group, Spain continues to maintain a relevant weight, representing 38.5% of the Group's operating revenues.
Any adverse change affecting the Spanish and Latin American economy (such as the tensions and military developments around Ukraine, the trade tensions of recent years between the United States and China, Brexit and rise of populism, among others) could affect the spending of the Group's customers, present or future, on the Group's products and services and therefore also affect the Group directly. PRISA operations and investments may also be affected by different risks that are typical to investments in countries with emerging economies or with unstable backdrops, such as currency devaluation, capital controls, inflation, expropriations or nationalisations, tax changes or changes in policies and regulations.
The spread of COVID-19 since early 2020, declared a "pandemic" by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020, affected the global economy and economic activity and conditions in the countries where the Group operates (such as, adverse effects on unemployment levels, supply interruptions, decrease in economic activity, etc.). Although during 2021 and 2022, the adverse impact of the COVID-19 health crisis has been reduced due to, among other things, the effectiveness and progressive roll-out of the vaccines, this positive development is not occurring equally across all countries in which the Group operates, and there is still uncertainty related to the health crisis.
Furthermore, in the first half of 2022, the onset of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the uncertainties surrounding it have contributed to a further gradual deterioration of the macroeconomic environment, leading, among other things, to significant market disruptions, instability and volatility, as well as an increase in inflation and tensions over Russian gas supply cuts that have worsened the global outlook, and uncertainty over the development of the conflict, con an adverse impact in GDP.
Although the Group has no direct exposure to Russia, the tensions surrounding the Russia-Ukraine conflict could adversely affect the Group, through factors such as inflation, the volatile of energy prices or the increase in the cost of raw materials and other industrial costs. While the PRISA Group generally attempts to pass on operating cost increases and inflation to customers, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to do so due to competitive pressures and other factors.
10. Risk of digital transformation, changing trends and emergence of new players and competence in Education and Media businesses.
In both the Education and Media businesses, competition between companies, the emergence of new players and changing trends represent threats and new opportunities for the Group's traditional business models.

In the Education business the Group competes with both traditional players and new, more digital operators focused on education systems offering alternative content and services and smaller businesses (educational start-ups, online portals, etc.). In addition, there is a growing trend towards open access to educational content (usually via online sites), a proliferating market for second-hand materials and an increasing number of schools not using books and developing new content within the scope of curricular autonomy at school level. This set of trends, in this competitive environment, puts downward pressure on the prices of educational content and services in the Group's main markets.
In the Media business, overall revenues (advertising, circulation and other) continue to be negatively impacted by the growth of alternative means of content distribution. The user has changed access to content consumption: significantly increases consumption through digital media and, at the same time, incorporates the offer of the new digital operators into what the traditional media have to offer. The proliferation of these alternative means of content distribution has significantly expanded the options available to consumers, resulting in audience fragmentation, as well as an increase in the inventory of digital advertising space available to advertisers, which affects and is expected to continue to affect the Group's Media businesses.
The Education segment main customers in the public education market are governments and public bodies in the various jurisdictions in which it operates.
Consequently, in the event that the economic situation in these countries deteriorates, regulatory or public policy changes occur or existing contractual relationships are not renewed, without the Group being able to replace them with others on materially similar terms, there could be a material adverse impact.
A significant part of PRISA Group's operating revenues come from the advertising market, in its Media business. In the 2022 financial year advertising revenues from the Group's Media division accounted for 36.4% of the Group's operating revenues.
Generally speaking, spending by advertisers tends to be cyclical and reflects the general economic situation and outlook. Therefore, in the event of a worsening of macroeconomic magnitudes in the countries in which the Group operates, the adverting invest prospects of the advertisers could be negatively affected.
The Company cannot predict the advertising market's trend in the short, medium and long term, and given the large, fixed cost component associated with businesses with a high weighting of advertising revenues, a fall in advertising revenues would have a direct impact on the margins and results of Media business, with the consequent negative impact on the Group.

The businesses in which the Group operates are heavily reliant on information technology ("IT") both in terms of "back office" (systems that businesses use to operate their businesses: Entreprise Resource Planning (ERP), content management, advertising, broadcasting, etc.), as well as in the front office and the solutions that the Group's businesses offer the market as part of their value proposition: from the websites and apps of digital properties in the area of Media, to the technological platform and educational systems in the area of Education.
IT systems are vulnerable with respect to a range of problems, such as hardware and software malfunctions, computer viruses, hacking and physical damage to IT facilities. In particular, the Group operates in an environment of increasing cyber threats in recent years.
This is why IT systems need regular upgrades, some of which are carried out on a preventive basis. However, the Group may not be able to implement the necessary upgrades in a timely manner or the timely upgrades may not work as planned. In addition, the Group may not have sufficient capacity to identify technical vulnerabilities and security weaknesses in operational processes as well as in the ability to detect and react to incidents. Although the Group has outsourced IT management services and undertaking innovation projects in certain Group companies to various technology providers, if the provision of these services were not to continue or were to be transferred to new providers, the Group's operations could be affected.
The PRISA Group operates in regulated sectors and is therefore exposed to regulatory and administrative risks that could adversely affect its business.
In particular, the Group's radio business is subject to the obligation to hold concessions or licences depending on the country in which the Group operates to undertake this activity. These concessions and licences are obtained directly by the Group or through third parties by entering into licence lease agreements. There is therefore a risk that existing licences may not be renewed due to various factors (some of which may be beyond the Group's control), that they may be modified or revoked, as well as that upon termination of existing licence leases the relevant third parties may not wish to renew them with the Group or may renew them on less favourable terms.
In addition, the Group's Education business is subject to the education policies approved by the governments of the countries in which operates. In this respect, the Education business could be affected by legislative changes arising, for example, from the succession of governments, changes in contracting procedures with public administrations or the need to obtain prior administrative authorisations regarding its content. Curricular changes require the Group to modify its educational content, which in turn requires additional investments, and there is a risk that the return on these investments may be lower than expected.

PRISA businesses are subject to many regulations in terms of fair competition, control of economic mergers or anti-monopolistic legislation at a global or local level.
In this regard, the Group is exposed to the risk of potential non-compliance with applicable antitrust or merger control regulations, which in turn exposes the Group to the risk that the competition authorities and agencies of the countries in which the Group operates may initiate disciplinary proceedings against the Group. This could eventually lead to the imposition of economic sanctions on the Group and damage its reputation in the markets in which it operates.
PRISA Group companies are exposed to claims from third parties, as well as to administrative, judicial and arbitration proceedings arising as a result of undertaking their activities and business, the scope, content or outcome of which cannot be predicted. Moreover, when running its activities and businesses, the Group is exposed to potential liabilities and claims in the area of employment relations. PRISA is also exposed to liability for the content in its publications and programs.
Although provisions have been made for litigation and contingencies of probable occurrence (probability of more than 50%), there are a number of large litigation cases for which no provision has been made, as they have been classified as possible or remote risk by the Group's internal and external legal advisors.
The Group's businesses largely depend on the intellectual and industrial property rights over, among other items, brands, literary content or technology wholly developed by the Group. Brands and other intellectual and industrial property rights comprise one of the pillars of success and maintenance of the Group's competitive advantage. However, there is a risk that third parties, without the Company's authorisation, may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and misuse content, services or technology developed by the Group.
Similarly, recent technological advances have made it much easier for unauthorised reproduction and distribution of content through various channels, making it more difficult to enforce the protection mechanisms associated with intellectual and industrial property rights. In addition, the Group's international presence entails the risk that it may not be able to protect intellectual property rights efficiently in all jurisdictions in which it operates.
In order to use third-party intellectual property rights, the Group has non-exclusive paid-for permission from management companies servicing the owners of these rights.

To the extent that the Group is not involved in determining the economic consideration for the use of these rights, there is a risk that significant upward variations in the amount of this consideration could have a negative impact on the Group's business.
19. Data protection risk.
The Group has a large amount of personal data at its disposal through undertaking its business, included those related to employees, readers and students. Therefore, the Group is subject to data protection regulations in the various countries where it operates.
The growing digital activity of the Group's businesses entails a particular risk related to the IT management of personal data, which could result in security breaches of varying scope and severity occurring.
Failure to comply could result in reputational damage to the Group and the payment of significant fines. In addition, any disclosure of such personal information by unauthorised third parties or employees could affect the Group's reputation, limit its ability to attract and retain consumers or expose it to claims for damages suffered by individuals to whom the personal information relates.

See section 5 of the Consolidated Directors´ Report of 2022.
In compliance with commercial law, the Annual Corporate Governance Report (ACGR), which details all corporate governance aspects at Prisa, forms part of this management report, and was authorized for issue by the Board of Directors. The ACGR is available at www.prisa.com.
The Annual General Meeting and Board of Directors are the Company's most senior governance bodies, and their operation and decision-making process are described in detail in the ACGR.
Without prejudice to the above, some of the key aspects of Prisa's corporate governance are set forth below, as well as the important changes that have occurred during the 2022 financial year:
i. Board of Directors and Board Committees:

At December 31, 2022 Prisa's Board of Directors had 14 members (2 Executive Directors, 6 proprietary directors and 6 independent directors), with different academic profiles and respectable track records (profiles and bios available at: www.prisa.com).
The Board of Directors has a non-executive chairman and vice-chairman, as well as a coordinating director who is independent. The chairman of the board is responsible for organizing the board and promoting and developing the good governance of the company as provided for in the Board Regulations.
ii. Senior Management
During 2022 the following changes have taken place in the senior management group:
After the corporate reorganization, the Senior Management is made up of the following executives: Executive Chairman of Santillana, Executive Chairman of Prisa Media, Secretary of PRISA Board of Directors, PRISA CFO, Head of Corporate and Institutional Relations, Head

of Communication, Chief Sustainability Officer, Head of People and Talent and Head of Internal Audit.
As per the Company's Board of Directors Regulations and pursuant to the Corporate Enterprises Act, the Board have non-delegable powers to determine certain general strategies and policies of the Company and make certain decisions (including the strategic or business plan; management objectives and annual budgets; investment and financial policy; tax strategy; risk management and control policy; oversight of the internal control and information systems; approval of financial reporting; dividends policy; treasury share policy; corporate governance and sustainability policies; the appointment and dismissal of board members and certain directors; investments or operations of all types which due to their high amount or special characteristics, are of a strategic nature or involve special tax risk for the Company; approval of the incorporation of or acquisition of equity stakes in special purpose vehicles or institutions domiciled in tax havens; agreements concerning mergers, spin-offs and any material decisions that could affect the Company's status as a listed company; approval of related-party transactions; annual evaluation of the Board of Directors' performance, etc.).
The Executive Chairmen of the two Group businesses (Santillana and PRISA Media) are responsible for overseeing the management of those businesses and leading senior managers within the scope of the business units with whose management they have been entrusted.
The Board of Directors of Prisa has a Delegated Committee which has been granted all the powers and competencies of the Board that can be delegated, in accordance with the Law and with the limitations established in the Regulations of the Board of Directors.
Senior managers are appointed by the Board and they report directly to the Board.
Each of the commissions of the Board (Delegated Committee, Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee; Nominations, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee and Sustainability Commission) has functions in their respective areas. The composition and functions of these committees are described in the ACGR.
The Company is exempt from the obligation to present a non-financial information status in accordance with the requirements established in Law 11/2018, of 28 December, as the required information is included, in an aggregated form, in the non-financial information statement presented in the consolidated financial statements report of Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. deposits its accounts together with the consolidated financial statements report in the Mercantile Registry of Madrid".
The Group is constantly adapting applications and management processes to changes occurring in its businesses, as well as technological changes. It participates in and is a member of various international and domestic associations and forums which enable it to identify

possible improvements or opportunities to innovate and develop its services, processes and management systems.
Education:
In terms of Education, in 2022, schools went back to normal in Latin America and this has had an impact on Santillana's activity and results.
In this new post-pandemic era, Santillana is still committed to leading the educational and digital transformation in Latin American schools. The company offers top-quality innovative projects that cater to the needs of each school and provides added value services, such as training for teachers and consultancy services.
In Brazil and Mexico, Santillana's primary digital markets, this year has seen the launch of the Integrated Digital Ecosystem (EDI, Ecosistema Digital Integrado), an environment that serves as a meeting point for all of the group's educational systems along with other features adapted to the needs and digital maturity of each school, such as the Santillana Agenda, a communication channel for schools and families.
The online evaluation tool Pleno has been a key tool for teachers in 2022, as it allows for daily monitoring of the students' learning process, with over 5.5 million evaluations.
Regarding Training Routes (Rutas Formativas), Santillana's virtual training space for teachers and school coordinators and managers, it has provided a large amount of virtual training content, with programmes aimed at improving their knowledge and competencies in areas such as digital skills, new methodologies, leadership, and management solutions. New training sections have been added regarding the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in line with Santillana's commitment of facilitating the 2030 Agenda for schools.
Major educational projects have been created in 2022. All of them have included sustainability contents across the board. The aim is to help students understand and internalise the great challenges we face as a society, such as social inequality, loss of biodiversity, and climate change, among others.
One of the publishing novelties is Asombro, a project that takes the Sustainable Development Goals very seriously. It is part of Compartir México (Share Mexico) for pre-school and primary education levels and revolves around three subjects: educational neuroscience, transmedia, and project-based learning.
Also in Mexico, UNOIntelligence has been launched: a never-seen-before concept based on intelligent data that will be implemented in secondary education schools of the UNOi network.
Additionally, a new proposal for technological skills has been launched in Colombia: SET XXI Robótica, an updated proposal adapted to the post-pandemic world with an emphasis on

computational thinking and the involvement of students in the search for solutions to major global issues.
In Peru, a new Secundaria para Compartir (Secondary for Sharing) proposal has been launched, including significant innovations both in methodology -with project-based learning and new methods- and in digital tools -with interactive sequences and the possibility of measuring results. Similarly, in Northern Central America, a new Primaria para Compartir (Primary for Sharing) project has been launched, reinforcing the traceability and interactiveness of the learning process.
In the Languages area, we must highlight Richmond iRead, Santillana's new digital reading programme for English students in primary and secondary education. On the other hand, in the Children and Young Adult Literature line, the main milestones have been focused on Loqueleo digital, an ecosystem for all stages of education that enhances the reading experience through reading, audiobooks, and learning of reading skills.
Media:
In Media, we have continued working along the guidelines established in the 2021-2024 Technology Master Plan, with key milestones for the modernisation and replacement of legacy systems with modern Cloud- and Edge-based alternatives. This sets the foundations to ensure competitiveness both in Radio and News in the medium term and to face the uncertainty of the market from a technologically solid position.
In the Subscription product, new experiences have been launched through several channels and with agreements with companies such as Renfe and Amazon, new developments and upgrades to the EL PAÍS application, and the participation in new channels such as the Google Showcase platform, intended to share higher quality content to provide a new communication experience.
There has also been significant in Video, with Universo Mundial as one of the most significant ones: the first streaming platform from PRISA Media that covered the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, offering exclusive content, news shows, and live broadcast of latest news. This project was an unprecedented display that involved over 150 radio and press professionals led by the PRISA Video staff. Daily 12-hour broadcasts and multichannel broadcasting on AS, Cadena SER, EL PAÍS and HuffPost.
World Cup reporting on the EL PAÍS website was also improved with the addition of a new live broadcasting platform, LED, which brought a significant visual and indexing upgrade to this type of reporting on search engines.
Other innovative updates in video were materialised thanks to the agreement with Dailymotion for the creation of a channel and the addition of an embedded player in some of the videos. There was also a new video channel for connected television with EL PAÍS including documentaries, investigative journalism, and entertainment products on Samsung TV and the streaming platform Tivify.

The year 2022 saw the implementation on AS of ARC XP, the Washington Post publishing and editing framework as its new CMS, and Prisa's publishing platform, on all editions of As.com. This process was a tiered implementation across the various regions in which As operates and concluded in June with a global edition. All editions of AS.com are now working on this platform. This technology serves to save in development and maintenance costs, standardise news reporting protocols with other business units, and improve security and stability thanks to the use of a shared solution.
One of the most ambitious proposals we want to develop alongside Diario AS is registrationonly products and/or services targeted at reaching a younger audience. That is why, in cooperation with the global leading company in gaming solutions Gameloft (owned by Vivendi), we have launched AS Gaming Club, a new free-of-charge, registration-only service with a catalogue of over 180 games of various genres. The video game portal, AS Gaming Club, boasts a novelty gamification system and numerous rewards for users, since members can complete a series of daily missions that reward them with virtual currency they can exchange for real-life prizes and rewards, such as gift cards for Amazon, Decathlon, Zalando, Netflix, Google Play, Apple, and many more.
Early this year, AS reached an agreement with Dailymotion to use its video player on AS websites and verticals. Using this distribution and video visualisation technology allows for a much better monetisation of the inventory and distribution on different channels, including their own. Dailymotion is a France-based company owned by Vivendi that operates in several international markets.
Regarding Radio, in 2022 the company has promoted consumption of all audio of spoken radio brands on its main websites. For years, radio consumption has been limited to external players (playser.cadenaser.com) while information was consumed on the main site (cadenaser.com). This year, the main sites Cadenaser.com and Caracol.com have been prepared so this consumption takes place on the main website and playser.cadenaser.com has been finally removed and its traffic redirected to cadenaser.com. The Caracol and WRadio external players will also be removed and redirected during 2023.
This deployment has taken place after the migration of Cadena Ser and Caracol in 2022 from its original CMS, PEP, to ARC, the content manager that is being implemented transversally throughout Prisa Media. The impact has been very positive, particularly on performance and SEO, given that Cadena SER has virtually doubled its presence in Discovery and other Google products.
One of the most significant wagers this year was the commitment to conversational audio: developing audio interfaces that allow for voice interactions with the user. In 2022, Victoria, the voice of football, was developed alongside Amazon. This initiative has entailed the creation of a synthetic voice, a voice that has been created from scratch based on neural networks. The acoustic personality of this voice was designed hand in hand with the Carrusel Deportivo staff, resulting in a mature female voice that transmits credibility and knowledge. Moreover, Victoria is one of Alexa's skills that lets the listener generate an entire experience around their favourite football time, since it provides statistics, latest news (read from AS), streaming of local matches, etc. In only 2 weeks, Victoria achieved over 100,000 interactions on Amazon.

Lastly, this year also saw the creation of two AI-powered audio distribution projects. Tailorcast was developed alongside Google as an evolution of the existing podcast recommendation engine to transform it into a customisation engine. Now, Tailorcast not only offers personalised podcast lists but also recommended listening lists based on parameters such as podcasts or episodes linked in the past. This year, Tailorcast has been implemented in the Podium add, yielding a 70% increase in podcast listening.
Progress has also been made this year in the IAudio project, which has allowed for automatic cuts of bulletins and programmes to extract and clean up advertising. Although this was already being done, artificial intelligence has made these cuts cleaner and much more refined. The project also allows for transcription of all of Cadena SER live broadcasts for subsequent insertion into documentation.
During 2022, the Data and Analytics area of PRISA Media has continued consolidating its modelling and dashboarding efforts, and architecture and governance discussions have taken place with the aim of simplifying group-level operations. The number of sign-ups has continued its upward trend (7.1 million) and the following cookieless ID monetisation routes have been opened:
One of the bottlenecks detected during the deployment of models has been the effort involved in its maintenance and commissioning. In 2022, an MLOps project has been developed, which has allowed for the incorporation of a new component into the DATA infrastructure of the group with the following features:

Note 7.3 "Financial Liabilities" of the accompanying notes to the financial statements of Prisa for 2022 provides a description of the use of financial instruments by the Company.
There are currently no significant firm contractual commitments that require a cash outing in the future.
Note 8 "Cash and Cash equivalents" to the PRISA´s financial statements of 2022 details the cash and other cash equivalents held by the Company at the end of the year.
Prisa does not have a set dividend policy, and so the Group's distribution of dividends is reviewed annually. In this respect, the distribution of dividends depends mainly on (i) the existence of profit that can be distributed and the Company's financial situation, (ii) its obligations regarding debt servicing and those arising from commitments acquired with its financial creditors in the Group's financing contracts, (iii) the generation of cash arising from its normal course of business, (iv) the existence or non-existence of attractive investment opportunities that could generate value for the Group's shareholders, (v) the Group's reinvestment needs, (vi) the implementation of Prisa's business plan, and (vii) other factors Prisa should consider relevant at any given time.
PRISA has performed, and may consider performing, transactions with treasury shares. These transactions will always be for legitimate purposes, including:
The operations of treasury shares, don´t realize on the basis of privilege information, nor respond to an intervention purpose in the free process of price formation.
At December 31, 2022, Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. held a total of 1,425,317 treasury shares, representing 0.192% of its share capital.
Treasury shares are valued at market price at December 31, 2022 (0.281 euros per share). The market value of the treasury shares at December 31, 2022 amounts to EUR 401 thousand. At December 31, 2022, the Company did not hold any shares on loan.

Description of Prisa's shareholder structure.
PRISA's share capital on December 31, 2022 consisted of EUR 74,065 thousand and was represented by 740,650,193 ordinary shares all of which belong to the same class and series, with a par value of EUR 0.10 each, fully paid up and with identical rights. On December 2021, Prisa's share capital amounted to Euros 70,865 thousand and was represented by 708,650,193 ordinary shares, all of the same class and series, with a par value of EUE 0.10 each. During fiscal year 2022, a capital increase of 32 million ordinary shares with a par value of Eur 0.10 each was carried out.
These shares are listed on the Spanish stock exchanges (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia) through the Spanish Stock Exchange Interconnection System (SIBE).
At year-end 2022, the most representative shareholders in the share capital of the company are Mr. Joseph Oughourlian (through Amber Capital UK LLP), Vivendi, Rucandio, Global Alconaba, Shk. Dr. Khalid Bin Thani Bin Abdullah Al-Thani (through International Media Group), Mr. Roberto Alcántara Rojas (through Consorcio Transportista Occher SA), Banco Santander, Control Empresarial de Capitales and Mr. Carlos Fernández. The company's free float is around 20%.
During fiscal year 2022, the main change in the shareholding structure was the entry of Global Alconaba, with a 7.076% stake in the share capital (which, after the capital increase carried out in June 2022, remained at 6.77% of the share capital). Global Alconaba acquired this stake from Telefónica SA.
Following this transaction, Telefónica SA (which on December 31, 2021 held 9.03% of PRISA's share capital) has seen its stake in the Company's share capital reduced to 1.869%.
Prisa's ordinary share price in 2021 ended at EUR 0.565 (December 31, 2021) and in 2022 closed at EUR 0.281 per share (December 30, 2022), a devaluation of 50.3% over the year.
PRISA's share performance in 2022 has been conditioned by the global macroeconomic situation, strongly marked by the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine that started at the beginning of the year, and which has led to an increase in liquidity tensions in the economy with an increase in interest rates and high inflation rates.
During fiscal year 2022, the Company's Directors have continued focusing their efforts on the reinforcement of the Group's financial and equity structure. To this end, a debt refinancing agreement was reached with new lenders and improving the existing conditions (extending the maturity, introducing more appropriate covenants, greater flexibility, and optionality). In addition, for the first time in the Company's history, a strategic plan with defined goals for 2025 was presented at a Capital Markets Day.

The following chart shows the performance of the PRISA Group's shares relative to the IBEX35 index in 2022, indexed in both cases to 100:

Source: Bloomberg (31st December 2021- 30th December 2022)
According to the information required by the third additional provision of Law 15/2010, of 5 July (amended by the second final provision of Law 31/2014, of 3 December) approved in accordance with the resolution of ICAC (Spanish Accounting and Audit Institute) of January 29, 2016, the average period of payment to suppliers in commercial operations for the companies located in Spain rises, in 2022, to 110 days (see note 7.3).
The maximum legal period of payment applicable in 2021 under Law 3/2004, of 29 December, and its amendment by Law 15/2010, of 5 July, for combating late payment in commercial transactions, is by default 60 days. The average period of payment to the Company's suppliers exceeds the statutory maximum period partially on account of agreements reached with suppliers related to Refinancing to defer payments or, where relevant, to initiate expenditure.
During the coming financial year, the Directors will take the appropriate measures to continue reducing the average period of payment to suppliers to legally permitted levels, except in cases where specific agreements with suppliers exist which set further deferments.
In January 2023, the Board of Directors of PRISA unanimously agreed to issue subordinated bonds mandatorily convertible into newly issued ordinary shares of the company, with preemptive subscription rights of PRISA shareholders. This issue takes place through a public offer for subscription of a nominal amount up to a total of EUR 130 million, through the issue and putting into circulation of up to a total of 351,350 convertible bonds with a face value of

EUR 370 each.
The maturity date of these convertible bonds and conversion into new shares will be on the fifth anniversary of the issue date (February 2028). However, holders of these convertible bonds will be entitled to request the early conversion of the number of convertible bonds that they deem necessary into new Company shares, at their discretion, in the set conversion periods.
A price of EUR 0.37 per new share has been set for the conversion of the convertible bonds. This is a fixed conversion price until their maturity date, which will be subject to the adjustments that are customary for issuing this type of instrument to ensure that, in the event that certain corporate transactions are carried out or certain resolutions are adopted that may result in the dilution of the value of the Company's shares, the conversion price is adjusted so that such transactions or resolutions affect the Company's shareholders and the holders of the convertible bonds equally.
The convertible bonds will bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.00% (which cannot be capitalised) and payable upon conversion into ordinary shares.
In February 2023, convertible bonds amounting to a total of EUR 130 million were subscribed, meaning 351,350 convertible bonds have been issued. Insofar as a fixed conversion price has been established (see above), without prejudice to the adjustment mechanisms which are customary in this type of transaction, the maximum number of new shares to be issued in connection with the voluntary or mandatory conversion of the convertible bonds on the basis of this conversion price is 351,350,000 new shares, which represents 47.44% of the Company's current share capital and 32.17% of the Company's share capital following the conversion of convertible bonds into new shares (again considering the current share capital).
The convertible bonds are expected to be admitted to trading on the Spanish regulated fixed income market (AIAF).
The issue is an instrument to reduce PRISA's syndicated financial debt, which is linked to a variable interest rate and which was refinanced in April 2022. This has enabled the Company to raise the funds necessary, mainly, and in accordance with the financing agreements entered into, to partially pay off early the tranche of the PRISA's syndicated financial debt that constitutes its largest interest financial expense, i.e. the Junior debt tranche, which is benchmarked at Euribor+8% (including cash and capitalisable cost), which as at December 31, 2022 totalled EUR 192,013 thousand (see note 7.3 of the attached notes). In February, 2023 the Group had cancelled EUR 110 million of Junior debt.
The issue of this bond mandatorily convertible into shares has been treated and recorded in 2023 as a compound financial instrument, because it is includes both liability and equity components. The Group recognises, measures and presents the liability and equity components created by a single financial instrument separately on its balance sheet.
The Group distributes the value of its instruments in accordance with the following criteria which, barring error, will not be subsequently reviewed:

a. The liability component is recognised by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated equity component.
b. The equity component is measured at the difference between the initial amount and the amount assigned to the liability component.
c. The transaction costs are distributed in the same proportion.
Following this, the liability component has been calculated as the present value of the cash coupons payable, considering that the mandatory conversion will take place at the end of the bond's life, without considering early conversions, insofar as early conversions are out of the Company's control. As a result, a financial liability of approximately EUR 4 million has been recorded. The difference between the amount of this liability and the face value of the coupons will be recorded and posted in the income statement during the life of the aforementioned instrument using the effective interest method.
An equity component has been recorded because a residual share in a company's assets is evident, after deducting all of its liabilities, since the bond is mandatorily convertible into a fixed number of shares and does not include any contractual obligation to hand over cash or any other financial asset other than the payment of the aforementioned coupons. Therefore, as a result of recording the transaction at the fair value of the equity instruments being issued, an equity instrument amounting to approximately EUR 126 million has been posted, resulting from the difference between the cash received for the issue of the convertible bond and the liability described in the previous paragraph, thereby increasing the net consolidated equity by this amount. The conversion price of the convertible bonds does not substantially differ from the listed value of the PRISA shares during the subscription period of the convertible bond.
The transaction costs have mainly been recorded as a decrease in the consolidated net profit, since almost all of the convertible bond has been recorded as an equity instrument.
Moreover, the early, partial cancellation of the aforementioned Junior debt will result in a financial expense of approximately EUR 6 million being recorded in 2023.
