Results of Annual General Meeting

Playtech (LSE: PTEC) announces that at its Annual General Meeting (AGM), held
today on 20 May 2026, ordinary resolutions numbers 1 to 11, as set out in the
Notice of Annual General Meeting dated 16 April 2026, were duly passed by
shareholders by means of a poll vote. Special resolution number 14 was also
passed by shareholders by means of a poll vote. Ordinary resolution number 12
did not meet the required 'simple majority' (more than 50%) threshold and,
therefore, was not approved. Special resolution number 13 did not meet the
required 75% threshold and, therefore, was not approved.

Following the announcement that Ian Penrose would not be standing for
re-election, ordinary resolution number 6 was withdrawn.

For information, the votes cast were as follows:
