Directorate Change

Playtech plc (LSE: PTEC) announces that Ian Penrose, Senior Independent
Director, has notified the Company of his intention to step down from the
Board.

At the request of the Chairman, Ian has agreed to remain as a Non-Executive
Director of the Company, Senior Independent Director and Chairman of the Audit
and Risk Committee until after the publication of the Group's final results
for the year ending 31 December 2026. This will ensure a smooth transition to
his successor(s) as Senior Independent Director and Chairman of the Audit and
Risk Committee.

John Gleasure, Non-Executive Chairman, said:

"On behalf of the Board, I'd like to express our thanks to Ian for his
invaluable contribution during what has been a period of significant
shareholder value creation and strategic transition since his appointment in
2018.

We are grateful that he has agreed to remain with us until Spring 2027 to
ensure a smooth transition of his roles. Ian has brought deep global industry
experience to Playtech, and has always shown total commitment and dedication
during what will have been almost 9 years of service to Playtech. We wish him
all the best in his future endeavours."

AGM Resolutions

Further to Ian Penrose's notice that he intends to step down from Playtech's
Board, it is no longer deemed necessary for Ian to stand for re-election at
the Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") to be held later this morning.
Accordingly, Resolution 6 at the AGM is no longer required and has therefore
been withdrawn.

The withdrawal of Resolution 6 does not otherwise affect the validity of the
Notice of AGM, the proxy form or any proxy votes already submitted on other
proposed Resolutions. The numbering of all other proposed Resolutions at the
AGM will remain unchanged.
