Berlin, 26 January 2021 - DEAG Deutsche Entertainment Aktiengesellschaft (Prime Standard, ISIN: DE000A0Z23G6, stock exchange symbol: LOUD, "DEAG") is acquiring 75% of the shares in the Danish promoter and producer CSB Island Entertainment ApS ("CSB") via its wholly owned subsidiary DEAG Classics AG.
