Time Out Agrees Long-Term Franchise Partnership with RBA in Spain

 

Time Out Group plc (AIM: TMO), the global media and hospitality business, is
pleased to announce that RBA has acquired Time Out's media operations in
Spain, including Time Out Barcelona and Time Out Madrid, under a long-term
franchise partnership.

Under the agreement, RBA will continue to publish Time Out in Spain, ensuring
the continued presence and growth of the brand in the country and pay the
Company a franchise fee. Time Out Market operations in Spain are not part of
the transaction and will continue to be owned and operated by Time Out Group.

RBA is one of the largest Spanish-language publishing groups globally, with a
portfolio of more than 25 brands, including international titles such as
National Geographic and InStyle. The company reaches an audience of around 60
million people each month across its media platforms.

The Company believes that transitioning to a franchise model in Spain will
enable the brand to grow faster by benefiting from RBA's scale, local
expertise and multi-platform capabilities. Time Out and RBA will collaborate
on marketing and other initiatives.

Time Out has built a strong presence in Spain, with Time Out Barcelona
https://www.timeout.com/barcelona (https://www.timeout.com/barcelona) and Time
Out Madrid https://www.timeout.com/madrid (https://www.timeout.com/madrid) ,
becoming trusted guides to city life for local audiences and visitors alike.
The Group is proud of the business established in the market and sees
significant opportunity for further growth in Spain under RBA's stewardship.

As part of the transaction, Time Out Spain's media team will transfer to RBA,
continuing their roles within the new structure. Operations will move to RBA's
offices in Barcelona and Madrid.

RBA sees Time Out as a strong addition to its portfolio, bringing a
distinctive mix of digital content, experiential platforms and global brand
reach, with Time Out engaging over 240 million people worldwide each month.
