FAB STATEMENT ON CLUB TALKS WITH THE FRIEDKIN GROUP

By the Fan Advisory Board (25 June 2024)

EVERTON FAN ADVISORY BOARD STATEMENT

We note the recent statement made by Everton Football Club, that a period of exclusivity has been granted to The Friedkin Group to progress discussions to acquire a majority shareholding in Everton.

This follows a period of uncertainty about the Club’s ownership and future direction.

We understand that there is still work to do, in relation to due diligence and in meeting the relevant regulatory requirements, for any sale or change in ownership to proceed. Fans rightly expect this process to be carried out with due rigour, and the Fan Advisory Board hopes this is done in a timely manner, so that everyone associated with Everton Football Club, including employees, minority shareholders and the global fanbase can begin to look forward to the future with optimism.

We will continue to seek answers to questions raised by Evertonians and remain ready to engage with all parties involved, including The Friedkin Group, at the appropriate times.
