The capital increase with maintenance of the preferential subscription right therefore aims to issue 1,255,790 new shares at a unit price of €4.04 per share, representing a 15% discount to the volume-weighted average of the last 3 trading days prior to the launch of the rights issue.

This transaction does not require the drafting of a prospectus to be submitted for approval to the AMF (French Financial Markets Authority).

Christophe Carniel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of VOGO:

"The world of sport, whether amateur or professional, is currently undergoing a profound transformation which will accelerate over the next few years with the massive influx of new technologies in the fields of refereeing, health, performance improvement and fan experience. We have been pioneers in all these areas, with the deployment of disruptive innovations, and the trust of leading clubs and federations active around the world. A new turning point was reached in 2023 with the adoption of a new business model (Technology as a Service or TaaS) based on long-term rental contracts, offering us more recurring revenues and solid prospects for margin appreciation. In terms of sales, the past few months have also been marked by significant successes, in particular the obtaining of FIFA certifications in video refereeing solutions, which will accelerate our sales momentum across all disciplines. A new development cycle is therefore opening up for our Group, which is now at the forefront of global Sportech. In order to support our change in business model, widen the innovation gap and continue to develop our international positions, we are launching a capital increase which I hope will attract the full support of our historical shareholders and new investors. Open to all, this capital increase with preferential subscription rights already benefits from the support of our strategic partner ABEO, actors in the world of sports and leading investors with more than €2.35 million in subscription commitments. This is a strong sign that reinforces our confidence and encourages us in this Olympic year to surpass ourselves and further enhance performance in terms of growth and profitability."

Nature of the transaction

The fund-raising proposed by VOGO relates to a capital increase through the issue of New Shares with preferential subscription rights (PSRs) maintained.

The transaction will concern the issue of 1,255,790 New Shares at the unit price of €4.04, at the rate of 1 New Share for 4 existing shares owned (4 preferential subscription rights will allow subscription to 1 New Share), i.e. gross issue proceeds of €5M.

Legal framework of the offer

Using the delegation granted by the 10th resolution adopted by the Combined General Meeting of shareholders on 12 June 2023, the Board of Directors of VOGO decided, at its meeting on 4 April 2024, to implement the delegation granted to it and to sub-delegate all powers to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer to proceed with the launch of the issue and to definitively approve all conditions. On 10 April 2024, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer decided to implement the sub-delegation and proceed with the launch of the capital increase.

States, Canada, Australia or Japan

Extension Clause

Depending on the extent of the demand, VOGO reserves the right to exercise the extension clause, up to a limit of 15.00% of the initial amount of the issue, i.e. issue proceeds of €5,07M that may be increased to €5.83M in order to serve all or part of the subscription orders for excess New Shares. In accordance with the provisions of article L. 225-134 of the French Commercial Code, unrestricted subscriptions will only be taken into account if the subscriptions as of right and for excess New Shares have not absorbed the entire capital increase. The initial number of 1,255,790 New Shares could therefore be increased by 188,368 additional New Shares, to increase the total number of New Shares to be issued to a maximum of 1,444,158 shares.

Subscription opening and closing dates

From 18 April 2024 to 2 May 2024 inclusive, on the Euronext Growth market in Paris.

Subscription price

The subscription price was set at €4.04 per New Share, i.e. a par value of €0.125 and an issue premium of €3.915, representing a discount of 15% to the volume-weighted average of the last 3 trading days prior to the launch of the operation and 17.21% to the closing price on the day prior to the launch of the operation. This issue price represents a discount of 14.26% to the theoretical value of the share ex-rights (€4.71, taking into account the theoretical value of the pre-emptive right of €0.168).

Subscription of shares as of right

The subscription for New Shares is reserved, by preference, to holders of existing shares registered in their securities accounts at the end of the day preceding the opening date of the subscription period and for the transferees of preferential subscription rights.

The holders of preferential subscription rights may subscribe as of right, at the rate of 1 New Share for 4 existing shares owned, i.e. 4 PSRs which will make it possible to subscribe to 1 New Share, without taking into account the fractions.

Preferential subscription rights may only be exercised up to a number of PSRs allowing the subscription of a whole number of New Shares. Shareholders or transferees of PSRs who do not hold, in respect of the subscription as of right, a sufficient number of existing shares or PSRs to obtain a whole number of New Shares, must be responsible for the acquisition or sale on the market of the number of PSRs allowing to reach the multiple leading to a whole number of New Shares.

It is specified for information only that the Company holds, on 31 March 2024, 27,172 of its own shares.

Subscription of excess New Shares

A preferential subscription right (PSR) is offered to shareholders to subscribe to excess New Shares, which will be exercised in proportion to their rights and within the limit of their requests.

At the same time as they deposit their subscriptions as of right, the shareholders or transferees of PSRs may subscribe to the number of excess New Shares they wish to acquire, in addition to the number of New Shares resulting from the exercise of their preferential subscription rights as of right.

Any New Shares not absorbed by the subscriptions as of right will be distributed and allocated to the subscribers as excess New Shares. Reducible subscription orders will be served within the limit of their requests and in proportion to the number of existing shares whose rights will have been used in support of their subscription as of right, without resulting in an allocation of fractional New Shares.

This press release and the information herein does not constitute a solicitation of an offer to buy or subscribe to securities in

France or any other country.

Press release

Montpellier, 10 April 2024

This document must not be published, transmitted or distributed, directly or indirectly, in the United

States, Canada, Australia or Japan

In the event that the same subscriber submits several separate subscriptions, the number of excess New Shares to which he/she is entitled will only be calculated on all of his/her PSRs if he/she makes a special request in writing, at the latest on the day on which the subscription is closed. This request will be attached to one of the subscriptions and will provide all the information useful for the consolidation of rights, specifying the number of subscriptions established as well as the authorized intermediary(ies) with whom such subscriptions will have been deposited.

Subscriptions in the name of separate subscribers may not be grouped to obtain excess New Shares.

A notice published in a newspaper authorized to publish legal advertisements of the place of the Company's registered office and by Euronext will make known, where applicable, the distribution scale for subscriptions to excess New Shares.

Exercise of preferential subscription rights

To exercise their preferential subscription rights (PSRs), rights-holders should submit their order to their authorized financial intermediary at any time between 18 April 2024 and 2 May 2024 (inclusive) and pay the corresponding subscription price.

Each subscription must be accompanied by payment of the subscription price in cash or by offsetting it against liquid and due claims on the Company. Subscriptions that have not been fully paid up will be automatically cancelled without the need for formal notice.

The preferential subscription right must be exercised by its beneficiaries, under penalty of forfeiture, before the expiry of the subscription period.

The preferential subscription right will be negotiable from 16 April 2024 to 29 April 2024 inclusive, under the same conditions as the old shares.

The transferor of the preferential subscription right will be divested thereof in favour of the transferee who, for the exercise of the preferential subscription right thus acquired, will be purely and simply substituted for all the rights and obligations of the owner of the existing share.

The preferential subscription rights not exercised at the end of the subscription period will automatically lapse.

Listing of the preferential subscription right (PSR)

At the end of the trading session on 15 April 2024, VOGO shareholders will receive 1 PSR for each share held (i.e. a total of 5,023,161 PSRs issued). Each shareholder holding 4 PSRs (and multiples thereof) may subscribe to 1 New Share (and multiples thereof) at the unit price of €4.04. They will be listed and traded on Euronext Growth, under ISIN code FR001400PFL3 from 16 April 2024 to 29 April 2024 inclusive. If these PSRs are not subscribed to or sold, they will become null and void at the end of the subscription period and their value will be zero.

Theoretical value of preferential subscription rights

€0.168 (based on the weighted average price of the last three sessions preceding 9 April 2024, i.e. €4.88). The subscription price of €4.04 per share reflects a haircut of 17.21% in relation to the theoretical value of the ex-rights share.

France or any other country.
