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Following the announcement that Ian Penrose would not be standing for re-election, ordinary resolution number 6 was withdrawn.
