Kenneth Alexander, GVC's CEO, commented:
 
 "The purchase of £5m worth of shares demonstrates my conviction that GVC's strategy and long-term outlook will provide shareholders with strong returns, as supported by the continued positive momentum in the results we announced last week.  I am confident in the regulatory outlook in Germany and the UK, and in the group's opportunity to take a leading position in the US market. I remain totally committed to GVC for the long-term."
