The board of directors of Playtech has noted the announcement by JKO Play confirming that it does not intend to make an offer for the company.
The board continues to recommend unanimously that Playtech's shareholders vote in favour of the offer from Aristocrat Leisure.
However, a number of material investors have not to date engaged meaningfully about their views on the Aristocrat offer, including certain investors that have disclosed or taken material positions in the company following the announcement of the Aristocrat offer.
The absence of customary levels of engagement means that the board is approaching the general meetings without a clear understanding of whether these shareholders are supportive of the Aristocrat offer.
