PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regulatory News:

A Supervisory Board of Mediawan (Paris: MDWP) was held on April 28th to approve the financial statements for 2016.

The members of the Supervisory Board present and represented at this meeting unanimously approved the financial statements for the 2016 financial year which have been adopted by the Management Board on April 20th. The Statutory Auditors also confirmed that they had no observation on these accounts.

However, as some members only participated by means of conference call, the quorum required under Article L. 225-82 paragraph 3 of the French Commercial Code could not be formally reached.

As a result, another Supervisory Board will be held as soon as possible, prior to the convening of the annual general meeting, in order to confirm the position expressed by the members of the Supervisory Board on April 28th, in accordance with the above-mentioned article of the French Commercial Code.

The financial statements for the year ended December 31st 2016 and the management report prepared by the Management Board, which will be submitted to the next Supervisory Board, are available on the Company's website (www.mediawan.fr).
