(the "Company") issued a press release announcing that, following the favorable opinion of its works council, its Board of Directors (the "Board") has approved the previously announced proposed transfer of the Company's legal domicile from France to Luxembourg via a cross-border conversion (the "Conversion") and the replacement of its American Depositary Shares ("ADS") structure with ordinary shares to be directly listed on Nasdaq.

A general meeting of the Company's shareholders will be held on February 27, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., Paris time, at the Company's registered office at 32 Rue Blanche, 75009 Paris, France to obtain approval by the Company's shareholders for the Conversion and certain related proposals (the "General Meeting").

**Exhibit 99.1** 

**Criteo Provides Update on Luxembourg Redomiciliation** 

*Shareholder Meeting to be Convened on February 27, 2026* 

NEW YORK, Jan. 7, 2026– Criteo S.A. (NASDAQ: CRTO) ("**Criteo**" or the "**Company**"), the global platform connecting the commerce ecosystem, today announced that, following the favorable opinion of its works council, its Board of Directors has approved the <u>previously announced</u> proposed transfer of the Company's legal domicile from France to Luxembourg via a cross-border conversion (the "**Conversion**") and the replacement of its American Depositary Shares ("**ADSs**") structure with ordinary shares to be directly listed on Nasdaq.

Frederik van der Kooi, Chairman of the Board of Directors said, "I am pleased that the Board of Directors agreed that this move positions us to unlock significant shareholder value by streamlining our corporate structure, enhancing our capital management flexibility and aligning our capital markets presence with our long-term strategic ambitions. As we move forward, Criteo remains deeply committed to its teams in France and its role in the French technology and AI innovation ecosystem."

Following approval by the Board of Directors, a general meeting of the Company's shareholders will be held on February 27, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., Paris time, at the Company's registered office at 32 Rue Blanche, 75009 Paris, France to obtain approval by the Company's shareholders for the Conversion and certain related proposals.

The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on February 25, 2026 as the ordinary record date for the shareholders' meeting, meaning that ordinary shareholders of record at that time will be entitled to vote at the meeting. The depositary of the ADSs has fixed the close of business on January 20, 2026 as the ADS record date for the shareholders' meeting, meaning that ADS holders of record at that time will be entitled to instruct the depositary how to vote their underlying shares (those who hold ADSs through a broker, bank or other nominee should follow the instructions that their broker, bank or other nominee provides). More information about the redomiciliation, general meeting, dissenting shareholders' exit right, and associated filings is available on Criteo's investor website at <u>http://criteo.investorroom.com</u>.

The expected timing for completion of the Conversion remains the third quarter of 2026, subject to shareholder approval and other customary conditions.

As previously announced, following the Conversion, Criteo intends to pursue a subsequent corporate redomiciliation from Luxembourg to the United States if the Board of Directors determines such action is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, subject to the prior Company's works council consultation process.
