Berlin, 9 March 2020 - DEAG Deutsche Entertainment Aktiengesellschaft (Prime Standard, ISIN: DE000A0Z23G6, ticker symbol: LOUD, "DEAG") provides information on the latest developments regarding the "Corona Virus", Covid - 19 and the current recommendation from Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn that major events with more than 1,000 participants could be canceled.

The Management Board of DEAG and those responsible for the individual group companies analyze the current developments and their implications intensively. At the events of its group companies, DEAG will carry out a responsible analysis of the individual case in close coordination with the respective artists, their partners and of course the local authorities and, based on this, will make an appropriate decision on a case by case basis.

DEAG is committed to its customers and their health but also to their enthusiasm for the respective events. DEAG sees the final decision on the implementation of events with the responsible authorities and at the same time respects the decision of every visitor to take part in major events.

For the time being, all events will therefore be carried out according to scheduled dates regardless of the number of participants.

Any cancellations of events by a "high hand" (force majeur) will of course be implemented immediately.

In this case, DEAG has full insurance coverage. Also Events canceled by the authorities due to Covid - 19 are insured.

On the basis of the recommendations of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) and in coordination with the responsible authorities, DEAG will take and implement the necessary precautions for the safe and orderly running of all events.
