Playtech announces that it has today published its prospectus ('Prospectus') in connection with the admission of all of its issued ordinary shares ('Ordinary Shares') on the premium segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on London Stock Exchange plc's main market for listed securities ('Admission').
It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange's main market will commence at 08.00 am on Monday 2 July 2012. The Ordinary Shares are also expected to be admitted to CREST at the same time, following the winding up of the Company's depository interest facility which is anticipated to occur at close of business on 29 June 2012. Trading in the Ordinary Shares on AIM will be cancelled simultaneously with Admission. The Company's TIDM code will continue to be PTEC and the ISIN number in relation to the Ordinary Shares will be IM00B7S9G985. On Admission, there will be 289,287,628 Ordinary Shares in issue.
The Prospectus contains the following statement on current trading and prospects:
"Playtech has continued to perform strongly in 2012. PTTS has outperformed expectations and certain Licensees have launched in the Spanish market following the recent commencement of regulated activity. William Hill Online continues to perform strongly and demonstrates Playtech's ability to forge significant earnings enhancing partnerships with leading gambling businesses. The Directors believe that Playtech is well positioned for continued growth and remain confident of the Company's future prospects."
Copies of the Prospectus will shortly be available from the registered office of the Company at 2nd Floor, St George's Court, Upper Church Street, Douglas, Isle of Man IM1 1EE and for download on the Company's corporate website http://playtech.production.investis.com/results-reports-and-webcasts/2012.aspx.
