Gopher Response to Statement by Playtech, Related Clarifications and Reasons Why Shareholders Should VOTE AGAINST the Consortium Offer HONG KONG, 3 AUGUST 2021, (BUSINESS WIRE): NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION Gopher Investments (“Gopher”), a 4.97% shareholder in Playtech plc (“Playtech”), is highly disappointed with the Board of Playtech’s decision not to change its recommendation in relation to the offer from Finalto’s management team backed by a consortium led by Barinboim Group (the “Consortium”). Gopher does not believe the supplementary circular contains a full and fair representation of the interaction between Gopher and Playtech since the previous adjournment of the general meeting and therefore wishes to clarify the following chain of events: Gopher responded promptlyto an initial information request from the Board, relating to Gopher’sfinancing and its high confidence of regulatory approval. The Board soughtadditional information which was commercially confidential and sensitivein nature. Accordingly, Gopher andPlaytech agreed to put a confidentiality agreement in place to allow suchinformation to be shared. On 26 July 2021, havingagreed the confidentiality agreement in all material respects, Playtechadvised Gopher that it would very shortly be issuing a supplementary circular. The confidentialityprocess was therefore paused on the understanding that any furtherinformation provided would not be taken into consideration ahead of theissuance of the supplementary circular. Since 26 July 2021,Gopher has received: (i) no further request for information from Playtechor its advisers, despite multiple interactions; (ii) no indication thatthe additional information requested was required for a change ofrecommendation nor that the Board would not be changing its recommendation;and (iii) no suggestion that Gopher had provided insufficient informationfor the Board to form a view on its proposal. Shareholders are reminded that Gopher’s proposal: is valued at USD 250million representing a 47% premium to the base proposal offered by theConsortium; will deliver certainty offull proceeds on completion, with no deferred or contingent component; is on materiallycomparable contractual terms and expected to complete in a similartimeframe; will be funded byallocated and ring-fenced cash funds available for immediate drawdown; will complete subject tothe same conditions as the Consortium’s offer, i.e. subject to shareholderapproval and regulatory clearances only; has been subject tosignificant analysis by Gopher’s legal counsel in each jurisdiction inwhich Finalto is regulated and accordingly Gopher is highly confident thatit will receive regulatory approval in each relevant jurisdiction; and includes a reverse breakfee of USD 10 million, illustrating the confidence of Gopher that it willbe able to successfully complete the acquisition of Finalto. Additionally, Gopher understands that Playtech may have received interest in Finalto from other potential acquiring parties since the date of the adjournment. As the second largest shareholder in Playtech, with approximately USD 100 million of capital invested, Gopher’s interests are aligned with those of its fellow shareholders in looking to maximise value for Finalto and would expect the Board to properly consider all credible offers. Gopher strongly believes that Finalto’s attractive growth prospects are not fairly reflected in the value of the Consortium’s offer that has been recommended by the Board. For all of these reasons Gopher encourages Playtech shareholders to VOTE AGAINST the Consortium’s offer, in line with the current recommendations of proxy advisors Glass Lewis, ISS and PIRC. Rothschild & Co. is acting as Financial Adviser to Gopher Investments on its Offer for Finalto. White & Case LLP is acting as legal advisor to Gopher Investments on its Offer for Finalto.
