Cancellation of Admission to AIM
As disclosed by the Company in its announcement dated 18 September 2015, the recommended cash acquisition of Plus500 by Playtech PLC ("Playtech") (the "Acquisition") is taking longer than had originally been anticipated. The statutorily required regulatory assessment of the Acquisition should be completed by the end of November 2015 but Playtech and Plus500 remain hopeful for an October 2015 completion.
Further to this announcement, the Company confirms that cancellation of admission of Plus500 Shares to trading on AIM is expected to incur a corresponding delay. The Company will update the market in due course.
