                                  Sportech plc

                         ('Sportech' or 'the Company')


                 Results of the EGM and Placing and Open Offer


Sportech announces that, at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company
(the 'EGM') held earlier today, all of the resolutions set out in the notice of
the meeting sent to shareholders on 7 November 2007, including those relating to
the Company's acquisition of the Vernons football pools business (the
'Acquisition') and the Placing and Open Offer, were duly passed.


Of the 41,445,189 New Ordinary Shares available under the Open Offer, 11,846,286
New Ordinary Shares were the subject of an irrevocable undertaking to accept the
Open Offer and 11,779,786 New Ordinary Shares were the subject of an irrevocable
undertaking not to take up the Open Offer. The shares subject to the irrevocable
undertaking not to take up were placed firm with institutional investors. By
11.00 a.m. on 29 November 2007, being the latest time for receipt of application
forms and payment in full under the Open Offer, valid applications had been
received from Qualifying Shareholders in respect of 18,999,418 New Ordinary
Shares, including the shares the subject of the irrevocable undertaking to take
up the Open Offer, representing 45.8 per cent. of the New Ordinary Shares
available under the Open Offer.


22,445,771 New Ordinary Shares not applied for by Qualifying Shareholders under
the Open Offer (including the shares the subject of the undertaking not to take
up the Open Offer) will be taken up by institutional investors under the Placing
pursuant to the Placing Agreement.


The 41,445,189 New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing and Open
Offer will rank pari passu in all respects with the Ordinary Shares now in issue
following the consolidation of such Ordinary Shares into shares of 50p (as
approved at the EGM today).


The Acquisition and the Placing and Open Offer remain conditional upon admission
of the New Ordinary Shares to the Official List and to trading on the London
Stock Exchange's market for listed securities ('Admission'). Application has
been made for Admission and it is expected that Admission will become effective
and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 3 December
2007.


Ian Penrose, chief executive of Sportech plc, said: 'We have raised the full
£41.4 million to secure the acquisition of Vernons and to accelerate the growth
of the Company. It is a great vote of confidence in Sportech and the Company's
strategy to reposition and revitalise the football pools business.'



Total Voting Rights


In conformity with the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the Company
confirms that, following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will
consist of 100,652,603 ordinary shares with a nominal value of 50p each, with
voting rights ('Ordinary Shares'). The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares
in treasury.


The above figure of 100,652,603 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in
the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine
if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest
in, the share capital of the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency
Rules.


Directors' Dealings


1. The Company's remuneration committee has today approved and granted the 
   following nil cost option awards under the Company's new Performance Share 
   Plan to the following executive directors:

Director         Position               Number of 5 pence     Total number of 5 pence ordinary
                                        ordinary shares       shares over which share incentive
                                        under award           awards held following notification
                                                                                       
Ian Penrose      Chief Executive        4,243,902             9,243,902                       
                                                         
Steve Cunliffe   Finance Director and 
                 Company Secretary      1,609,756             1,609,756                                   
                                                         


In addition, awards were made to other senior executives of the Company in
respect of a total of 3,073,167 ordinary shares of 5p each.

The awards will normally vest and become exercisable on the third anniversary of
grant subject to continued employment and the satisfaction of relative total
shareholder return and share price growth performance conditions. Following
consolidation of the Company's Ordinary Shares into shares of 50p each and the
completion of the Open Offer (both as approved at today's EGM), the number of
shares under award referred to above will be adjusted down as appropriate.

To the extent possible, the awards were granted as qualifying 'EMI awards' for
the purposes of the Enterprise Management Incentive Scheme tax legislation,
which enables awards to be made on a tax-efficient basis for the Company and the
grantee.

No consideration was paid for the grant of the awards and no consideration is
due on the vesting of the awards.
