Trevor Croker, Aristocrat’s CEO and Managing Director, commented:
The approval given by Playtech shareholders to dispose of Finalto meets a condition of Aristocrat’s recommended offer and is a further step forward in the completion process.
Aristocrat’s offer for Playtech has been recommended by the Playtech Board, and is the only offer on the table for shareholders. We believe that Aristocrat’s offer provides an attractive value and enhanced regulatory and financial certainty for Playtech shareholders, while the combined group will also provide greater opportunities for Playtech employees in a leading global organization.
JKO Play Limited has also recently shown interest and has made a preliminary inquiry. Gopher is also among the companies who showed interest in the acquisition of Playtech but soon after withdrew its interest.
