RNS Number : 4876U  Flutter Entertainment PLC  28 March 2023

Final Reminder that Former Shareholders of Stars have until May 4, 2023, to
claim their Flutter Shares

Unclaimed Flutter Shares will be lost

March 28 2023

Flutter Entertainment plc ("Flutter") is providing a final reminder to former
shareholders of The Stars Group Inc. ("Stars") to claim any ordinary shares of
Flutter ("Flutter Shares") to which they are entitled and have not yet claimed
by the deadline of May 4(th), 2023. Following completion of the combination of
Stars and Flutter (the "Combination"), which became effective on May 5, 2020
(the "Effective Date"), former shareholders of Stars are entitled to 0.2253 of
a Flutter Share for each Stars common share ("Stars Shares") held by the
shareholder on the Effective Date.

In order to receive Flutter Shares, a completed Letter of Transmittal,
together with a certificate representing the Stars Shares held by such
shareholder (if any) and all other required documents, must be delivered to
Computershare Investor Services Inc. (contact details below), the depositary
in connection with the Combination, which holds unclaimed Flutter Shares in
trust for former Stars shareholders.

FORMER STARS SHAREHOLDERS WHO DO NOT EXCHANGE THEIR STARS SHARES BY MAY 4,
2023 (being the date that is three years less one day from the Effective Date)
WILL LOSE THEIR RIGHT TO RECEIVE THE CONSIDERATION IN EXCHANGE FOR SUCH
SHAREHOLDER'S STARS SHARES AND (I) WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE SURRENDERED TO
FLUTTER ANY FLUTTER SHARES, TOGETHER WITH ALL ENTITLEMENTS TO DIVIDENDS,
DISTRIBUTIONS AND INTEREST THEREON, HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY IN TRUST FOR SUCH
FORMER SHAREHOLDER AND (II) ANY STARS SHARES FORMERLY HELD BY SUCH FORMER
STARS SHAREHOLDER WILL CEASE TO REPRESENT A CLAIM OR INTEREST OF ANY NATURE.

Former non-registered (beneficial) holders of Stars Shares are advised to
urgently engage with their broker, investment dealer or other intermediary to
ensure that such intermediaries promptly submit Letters of Transmittal to
claim the Flutter Shares to which the former non-registered (beneficial)
holders of Stars Shares are entitled.

All Flutter Shares claimed will be issued in "certificated" form by default.
Former shareholders of Stars who wish to hold their Flutter Shares in
"uncertificated" form will need to take steps to convert the certificated
Flutter Shares issued to them into uncertificated form. Only Flutter Shares
which are held in uncertificated form can be traded electronically on the
London Stock Exchange and Euronext Dublin under the ticker "FLTR" with ISIN
IE00BWT6H894.

A copy of the Letter of Transmittal and a "Settlement FAQ" containing further
information on holding Flutter Shares in uncertificated form, as well as the
process for converting certificated shares into uncertificated shares, can be
found on Flutter's website at
https://www.flutter.com/investors/corporate-transactions/
(https://www.flutter.com/investors/corporate-transactions/) and then select
"Stars Group Merger".
