Spotify sponsorship agreement to be subjected to ratification during the Club's first ever virtual Assembly

Tuesday March 15 saw the FC Barcelona Board of Directors announce a long-term strategic collaboration agreement with Spotify, whereby the world's most popular audio streaming platform will become the Club's Main Partner, appearing on the front of men and women first-team matchday and training jerseys from the 2022/2023 season onwards. The collaboration also includes the Swedish company becoming the stadium's Title Partner, which will become known as the Spotify Camp Nou. Approved and signed by the FC Barcelona board of directors, the agreement is subject to ratification by the Extraordinary Delegate Members Assembly, which will be held virtually on April 3.

So, this very important decision for the Club's future will be put to the vote during the Club's first ever virtual Assembly, given the good experience during the Espai Barça funding Referendum, also virtual, incident-free, and with a high turnout. The Board of Directors considered it necessary to continue modernising and making participative processes more efficient.

4,478 delegate members are convened for April 3 - the same date as the FC Barcelona vs Sevilla match - at 10.00am and 10.30am CET for the first and second rounds respectively. The Assembly can be watched live via Barça TV (in Catalonia on TDT, and via the Movistar, Vodafone, Orange, Grupo Euskaltel and FuboTV platforms in the rest of Spain), and by live stream via the Club's website.

Although this Assembly is 100% virtual, the Auditori 1899 will form the backdrop for the event, which will be attended by a limited number of persons, comprised of the entire Board of Directors, the Members' Ombudsman, and members of the Statutes Commission, who are part of the delegate members collective. Everyone attending in person with a right to vote - including the members of the Board of Directors - have to vote virtually using terminals installed in the auditorium itself.

DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH DELEGATE MEMBERS

The Club will directly inform all delegate members about the procedure for accessing the virtual Extraordinary Assembly and voting at the right time during the agenda. Regular communication channels will be used, such as email, SMS messages, supported by standard mail and telephone calls. A form will also be made available in the website's 'microsite' in order to confirm attendance to the virtual room. On the day of the Assembly, delegate members will also receive an SMS via their mobile, containing a direct link to access the Assembly platform and the virtual room, from which they can watch the event via streaming, and ask questions and vote.

ANNOUNCEMENT AND PRESENTATION OF DOCUMENTS

As indicated by the Statutes, Thursday March 17 de marzo saw the publication of the announcement of the printed version across a range of media, informing delegate members that the information regarding the 2nd point of the Agenda will be available from March 23 from a specific area in the Barcelona Supporter Services Office (OAB).
