Material Changes
A material development occurred on August 14, 2025, when the Gambling Commission of Great Britain notified the Company that licenses held by three UK subsidiaries (Gamesys Limited, Bally's (Newcastle) Limited, and Gamesys Operations Limited) will continue to have effect following the Closing. This notification satisfies a critical gaming regulatory condition required for the transaction to proceed.
