reflects Marek’s excellent leadership and development of the Prima TV
enterprise, which is the second largest national commercial television
broadcaster in the Czech Republic and currently operates 3 free-TV channels in
the country. The channels achieved a combined target audience share of over 40%
in the third quarter and have consistently increased their viewing and
advertising market shares on an ongoing basis. We are committed to further
expanding the scale and footprint of our operations in the region and Marek will
oversee this expansion.”

“I would also like to thank Anders for twenty years of outstanding service to
MTG, during which time he has been instrumental in a number of the Group’s key
achievements. We wish him all the best for the future.”
