This disclosure is being made in accordance with Listing Rule 11.1.10 R due to the fact that ITV Broadcasting Limited ("ITV") is entering into a transaction with the BBC, which is deemed to be a related party of ITV plc under the Listing Rules.
ITV, the BBC, BT, Channel 4, TalkTalk and Channel 5 have agreed a new shareholders' agreement for YouView which sets out, amongst other things, the governance and funding arrangements of YouView.

Pursuant to the new agreement, ITV and the BBC have each committed to contribute £750,000 to YouView each financial year from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2024. This mirrors ITV's current annual funding obligations to YouView.
