WindAcre to Host Investor Webcast Regarding Nielsen

Believes Nielsen’s Stock Price Could Triple in Three Years

Webcast Scheduled for Tuesday, April 26th at 8:30 am ET

The WindAcre Partnership LLC (“WindAcre”) today announced that it will host an investor webcast to outline the business and valuation case for Nielsen Holdings plc (NYSE: NLSN) (“Nielsen” or the “Company”) and why it opposes the proposed acquisition of Nielsen by a private equity consortium led by Evergreen Coast Capital Corporation, an affiliate of Elliott Investment Management L.P., and Brookfield Business Partners L.P. for $28 per share. WindAcre beneficially owns 27.3% of Nielsen’s outstanding ordinary shares and is the Company’s largest shareholder.

The webcast is scheduled to begin at 8:30 am ET on Tuesday, April 26, 2022, and can be accessed here.

Snehal Amin, Managing Member of WindAcre, will present why he believes Nielsen is a world class business with an intrinsic value well north of $40 per share, and how there is a credible path for the Company’s stock price to triple within three years.

This press release does not recommend the purchase or sale of a security. There is no assurance or guarantee with respect to the prices at which any securities of the Company will trade, and such securities may not trade at prices that may be implied herein. In addition, this press release and the discussions and opinions herein are for general information only, and are not intended to provide investment advice.

This press release contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and may include projections and estimates and their underlying assumptions, statements regarding plans, objectives, intentions and expectations with respect to future financial results, events, operations, services, product development and potential, and statements regarding future performance. Forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words “expects”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “intends”, “estimates”, “plans”, “will be” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the proposed transaction involving Nielsen (the “Proposed Transaction”). Although WindAcre believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, investors are cautioned that forward-looking information and statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties—many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of WindAcre or Nielsen—that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. These risks and uncertainties are enumerated in Nielsen's public filings and recent public communications regarding the Proposed Transaction. In addition, the foregoing considerations and any other publicly stated risks and uncertainties should be read in conjunction with the risks and cautionary statements discussed or identified in Nielsen’s public filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including those listed under “Risk Factors” in Nielsen’s annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof and, other than as required by applicable law, WindAcre does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information or statements. Certain information included in this material is based on data obtained from sources considered to be reliable. Any analyses provided to assist the recipient of this material in evaluating the matters described herein may be based on subjective assessments and assumptions and may use one among alternative methodologies that produce different results.
