10 September 2024

Eros Media World PLC (incorporated as a limited company and registered in the Isle of Man under the Companies Act 2006 (Isle of Man) with company number 007466V) (the "Company") hereby announces the results of the Consent Solicitation (as defined below) in respect of the Bonds on the terms set out in the consent solicitation memorandum dated 19 August 2024 (the "Consent Solicitation Memorandum") prepared by the Company.

Capitalised terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum.

Results of the Meeting of Bondholders

The Company hereby announces that the Meeting of Bondholders convened by the Company by the delivery of a notice to Bondholders on 19 August 2024 was held earlier today and the Extraordinary Resolution was duly passed at that Meeting. Accordingly, the Company and the other parties thereto will proceed to enter into the Fifth Supplemental Trust Deed, the Fourth Supplemental Agency Agreement, the Supplemental Security Deed, the Charge over Shares and the Deed of Removal and Appointment referred to in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum and, consequently, the Proposals referred to in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum will be implemented.

The Proposals and the Cash Consideration

As further described in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum, the primary purpose of the Proposals is to enable the mandatory redemption by the Company of all of the outstanding Bonds on the Mandatory Redemption Date in consideration for the Cash Consideration.

The Company intends to give notice of the mandatory redemption of the Bonds (the "Notice of Redemption") by no later than 31 December 2024. The Notice of Redemption will specify the Mandatory Redemption Date, being the date on which the Bonds will be redeemed and the Upfront Cash Consideration (together with the Consent Fee, to eligible Bondholders) will be paid.

The Notice of Redemption will also specify the record date (the "Record Date") which will be used to determine entitlement to the Cash Consideration, which is expected to be the business day in London falling 1 day prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date. In order to receive the Cash Consideration a Bondholder must hold its Bonds on the Record Date. Any purchaser of Bonds after the Record Date will not receive the Cash Consideration.

The Replacement Trustee (see "New Trustee" below) will maintain a register of Bondholders on the Record Date (each such Bondholder, a "Recorded Bondholder"), based on information provided by the Clearing Systems. Payment of the Delayed Cash Consideration on the Delayed Cash Consideration Payment Date will only be made to Recorded Bondholders through the Clearing Systems. A Recorded Bondholder may request from the Replacement Trustee at directors@truvacorp.com a non-transferable receipt (a "Receipt") to evidence its entitlement to the Delayed Cash Consideration, subject to payment of such fee as the Replacement Trustee may charge from time to time.

The Delayed Cash Consideration will be paid to Recorded Bondholders through the Clearing Systems as soon as reasonably practicable from the net proceeds resulting from the sale of the Reserve Shares. The Replacement Trustee shall specify on its website (www.truvacorp.com) details of when the Delayed Cash Consideration will be paid (the "Delayed Cash Consideration Payment Date").

New Trustee

Pursuant to the Deed of Removal and Appointment referred to above, Truva Trust Corporation Plc is to be appointed as replacement trustee and replacement security trustee in respect of the Bonds on or before 17 September 2024 (at which time the Issuer shall give notice to the Bondholders confirming as such), thereby replacing the existing Trustee, M&G Trustee Company Limited. Accordingly, all references herein to the "Replacement Trustee" refer to Truva Trust Corporation Plc acting in that capacity for the Bondholders.
