("Playtech" or the "Company")

 

Transaction in Own Shares

 

Playtech plc (LSE: PTEC) announces that on 7 November 2025 it purchased
9,937,923 ordinary shares of no par value each in the Company (the "Shares"),
representing approximately 3.2% of the Company's issued share capital at a
price of £2.35 per Share, for a total consideration of approximately £23.4
million (the "Purchase").

 

The Purchase has been conducted in addition to the Company's share buyback
programme to purchase up to £43.7m (€50.0 million) of the Company's
ordinary shares, announced on 25 September 2025 (the "Share Buyback
Programme"), which is continuing as planned. As at 6 November 2025, the
Company had repurchased approximately £16.1 million (€18.4 million) of the
Company's ordinary shares pursuant to the Share Buyback Programme.

 

All of the purchased shares are being transferred to the Company's Employee
Benefit Trust for nil consideration with a view to the shares being used to
fund awards (as and when they vest and are exercised) under the Company's
employee share schemes. Therefore, the total number of shares in issue and the
total number of voting rights in the Company remains the same at
309,294,243.  This figure should continue to be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculation by which they can determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the
Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
