Preliminary and Confidential | Subject to Further Review and Revision Selected Equity Research Analyst Commentary Brokerage Date of Report Target Price ADS Price Recommendation Commentary D eutsche Bank 9/2/2020 $7 .00 $2.07 Buy “We believe Wanda Sports Group should start to benefit more meaningfully from the return of live sports, such as football, and continue to benefit from the strength in digital services, esports, and virtualized events; although we're not forecasting a return to full earnings power until 2022. We were encouraged by the new business wins and contract extensions in the quarter, despite the current challenging environment, which gives us confidence that the business continues to largely be on track for the long - term. The company showed its ability to reduce costs during the business slowdown, and we are encouraged by the continued cost - saving measures Wanda will be taking.” “We r emain positive on Wanda Sports Group as we believe the business has bottomed from the pandemic and is beginning to recover with the return of spectator sports; we lower our PT to $7, from $8 (in June 2020), due to a smaller reduction in net debt from the IRONMAN Group sale than we had previously estimated.” Citibank 9/2/2020 $5.50 $2.07 Buy “The firm operates in an attractive part of the media ecosystem. And, we believe that WSG’s valuation is compelling at current levels… We are slightly increasing estimates following a better - than - expected 2Q” “As more video content moves to the cloud, demand for live content – including sports and news, should remain a durable component of the linear TV ecosystem… experiential events – like concerts, theme parks, and sporting events, should remain immune to digital disruption.” Loop Capital Markets 9/1/2020 $3.00 $2.11 Hold “ WSG reported 2Q numbers that were severely impacted by the postponement and cancellation of sporting events, but were better than expected. More importantly, the company closed the sale of its Ironman division after the quarter which reduces net debt to €264 million, or less than three times our 2021 Adjusted EBITDA estimate.” “Our target 8.0x multiple on our 2021 Adjusted EBITDA estimate assumes a resumption of sports next year and considers the company’s short tenure as a public company.” “The company had a number of media rights renewals and expanded contracts. The three major upcoming renewals that are the most critical are the Lega Serie A contract through 2021, FIFA production contract through 2022 and FIFA Asian media rights also running through 2022.” Source: Wall Street research .

Preliminary and Confidential | Subject to Further Review and Revision The preparation of the materials was a complex process involving quantitative and qualitative judgments and determinations wi th respect to the financial, comparative and other analytic methods employed and the adaption and application of these methods to the unique facts and circumstances presented and, therefore, is not read ily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Furthermore, Houlihan Lokey did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it, but rather made qualitativ e j udgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Each analytical technique has inherent strengths and weaknesses, and the nature of the available information may further affect th e v alue of particular techniques. Accordingly, the analyses contained in the materials must be considered as a whole. Selecting portions of the analyses, analytic methods and factors without considerin g a ll analyses and factors could create a misleading or incomplete view. The materials reflect judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, mark et and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of the participants in the Transaction. Any estimates of value contained in the materials are not necessarily indicat ive of actual value or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable. Any analyses relating to the value of assets, businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisal s o r to reflect the prices at which any assets, businesses or securities may actually be sold. The materials do not constitute a valuation opinion or credit rating. The materials do not address the consideration to be paid or received in, the terms of any arrangements, understandings, agreements or documents related to, or the form, structure or any other portion or aspect of, the Transaction or otherwise.
