Viaplay Group AB (publ) Unveils Football Documentary Series 'Sport Vs Money with Simon Jordan' Viaplay Group announced 'Sport vs Money with Simon Jordan', a revealing four-part documentary series that challenges one of the most urgent questions in global sport: how money is reshaping the game of football. Hosted by former Premier League club owner and award-winning broadcaster Simon Jordan, the series will premiere on August 12th, 2025,on the Viaplay streaming service across the Nordics and the Netherlands.

From London to Miami, Turin to New York, Jordan meets the people who have driven and defined this shift - including club owners, CEOs, FIFA executives, agents and former players - to uncover how community-rooted clubs became billion-dollar assets, how players became global brands, and how the game's future is being shaped behind closed doors. Featured contributors include Arsene Arsenal (FIFA), the man behind the revamped Club World Cup, and Andrea Agnelli (ex-Juventus), one of the architects of the controversial Super League proposal, as well as David Gill (Manchester United), Daniel Levy (T Tottenham Hotspur), Freddie Ljungberg (Arsenal & Seattle Seattle Seattle), Rick Parry (Premier League), Lord Sugar (T Tottenham Hotspur), and executives from Inter Miami, MLS, NFL and more.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Over 57x increase in shares outstanding. This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (currently running at an operating cash loss). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (30% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (over 57x increase in shares outstanding). New Risk • Feb 14
New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: kr91.5m (US$8.69m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (currently running at an operating cash loss). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (30% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$10m (kr91.5m market cap, or US$8.69m). Annonce • Feb 06
