Significant events

• “On 8 January 2025, Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. agreed to sell its Europe North business segment, which includes Bauer Media Outdoor (formerly Clear Channel) Holdings Limited, to Bauer Media Group. The transaction received clearance from the competition authorities on 10 March 2025 and completed on 31 March 2025. As a result of this acquisition, the company's ultimate controlling party changed from Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. to Heinrich Bauer Verlag KG and the company changed its legal name from Clear Channel Holdings Limited to Bauer Media Outdoor Holdings Limited. This name change occurred after the reporting date of 31 December 2024 and has no impact on the company's financial positition at that date.”
• “The Company made a distribution of €2,000,000 to Clear Channel International Holdings B.V. ('CCIHBV') in December 2024. It was subsequently identified that the Company did not have sufficient distributable reserves to justify that distribution. The Company has since recorded a receivable from CCIHBV in the 2024 financial statements which is has been settled in 2025.”
• “As part of the sale of the Europe North business segment ('Group'), it was necessary for the Group to transfer its trading entities in the Netherlands and Poland into the Group transaction perimeter. On 31 January 2024, Clear Channel International B.V. ('CCIBV') and Clear Channel International Holdings B.V. ('CCIHBV'), which previously owned the Netherlands and Poland entities respectively, transferred their shares in these entities to Bauer Media Outdoor Holdings Limited ('BMOH') at a net book value of £2,034,525. Subsequently, BMOH sold both entities to Bauer Media Outdoor International Limited ('BMOI') in exchange for the issuance of a single ordinary share in BMOI with a nominal value of £2, two ordinary shares in BMOH with a nominal value of £1 each, and a corresponding share premium of £2,034,523, reflecting the value of the Netherlands and Poland trading entities.”
• “Under Spanish law, a company is subject to mandatory winding-up proceedings if its net equity falls below half of its issued share capital as a result of accumulated losses. Based on financial forecasts provided by the Clear Channel Espana SLU ('CC Spain') finance team, such a shortfall was expected as of 31 December 2024. To address this, in December 2024, Bauer Media Outdoor International Limited ('BMOI') released £1,652k of its loan receivable from CC Spain. This was executed through the distribution of a corresponding amount of distributable reserves up the corporate structure. The distribution was made to BMOI's immediate parent company, Bauer Media Outdoor Holdings Limited ('BMOH'), which subsequently distributed the amount to its parent company, Clear Channel International Holdings BV ('CCIHBV'). CCIHBV subsequently returned the reserves to CC Spain, enabling BMOI to derecognise its intercompany receivable from CC Spain.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented.
