Press Release 14 December 2006
Gaming VC Holdings S.A.
('Gaming VC' or 'the Company')
Statement re New Lottery State Treaty
The Board of Gaming VC notes the recent decision by 15 of the 16 Premiers of the
German Bundeslanders to postpone the signing of the new state treaty on
gambling. In its current form the new state treaty would retain the monopoly in
the German lottery market and to a large extent ban remote gambling. The
decision to postpone the vote follows considerable discussion at both
Bundeslander and federal level.
A further announcement regarding the treaty will be made as soon as additional
information is available.
The Board of Gaming VC notes the recent share price movement and press
speculation that it is in discussions with certain parties which may or may not
lead to a formal offer being made for the Company. The Board wishes to confirm
that, from time to time, it has discussions regarding the strategic options of
the Company. Such discussions have currently not progressed beyond a
preliminary stage and there can be no certainty that any such discussions will
lead to an offer being made for the Company.
