Allwyn and OPAP update on strong shareholder endorsement of business combination and on completion timeline

Following OPAP’s Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) on 7 January 2026, shareholders owning 50,154,474 shares in OPAP were entitled to dispose of their shares in exchange for cash compensation from OPAP of €19.04 per share (the “Exit Right”). Eligible shareholders were required to exercise the Exit Right by 9 February 2026 (the “Exercise Period”).

During the Exercise Period, the Exit Right was validly exercised in respect of 23,959,850 shares. This represents 6.7% of OPAP shares outstanding (excluding treasury shares), highlighting the strong alignment among shareholders and their conviction in the Transaction’s strategic and financial rationale. The total cash compensation due to shareholders who validly exercised the Exit Right is €456 million (the “Cash Compensation Amount”). The Cash Compensation Amount will be paid to relevant shareholders within one month from the date on which the cross-border conversion of OPAP, described below, becomes effective.

Allwyn has committed bank financing facilities and liquidity in place to satisfy the Cash Compensation Amount and has made arrangements with OPAP such that this committed financing and liquidity will be available to the combined company for purposes of paying the Cash Compensation Amount. In addition, Allwyn will assess market conditions for a potential senior secured financing in the international capital markets to fund the Cash Compensation Amount, in place of the committed financing.

The key next step in the Transaction is the implementation of the cross-border conversion of OPAP, in which it will redomicile to Luxembourg, which is expected to take place in March. OPAP will be renamed Allwyn AG upon completion of its redomiciliation, following which Allwyn expects to contribute its assets and liabilities to OPAP in exchange for the issuance of 445,684,184 new shares. Taking into account the exercise of the Exit Right, the combined company will have 770,799,070 shares (excluding treasury shares²), of which 78.4% will be indirectly held by KKCG Group and 21.6% will constitute the free float (including shares held by J&T ARCH³, current minority shareholder in Allwyn).

Commenting on today’s announcement, Robert Chvatal, Allwyn CEO, said:

“The portion of shareholders who elected to exercise their cash exit right – representing only 6.7% of the shareholders of OPAP - is a strong vote of confidence in the benefits of this exciting transaction and we are delighted that the remaining shareholders will be investors in the combined business. We are progressing well towards closing of the combination of Allwyn and OPAP – a landmark transaction that will position us as the second-largest listed lottery and gaming operator globally. It underlines our ambition to continue growing and innovating, while delivering long-term value for all of our stakeholders.”

Jan Karas, OPAP CEO, said:

“We are pleased with the continued progress of OPAP’s combination with Allwyn, in addition to the broad-based shareholder confidence in the merits of the transaction. This is a pivotal development that will reshape the future of our industry, lead to the listing of a leading global lottery and gaming player on the Greek stock market, and create multiple benefits for our stakeholders.”

(“OPAP” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “OPAP Group” and, together with certain subsidiaries and equity method investees of Allwyn International to be contributed to the OPAP Group in connection with the transaction, the “post-Transaction Allwyn Group”), and any other material distributed or statements made in connection with such announcement (the “Information”). You are therefore advised to carefully read the statements below before reading, accessing or making any other use of the Information.

The Information does not constitute or form part of, and should not be construed as, an offer to sell or issue or the solicitation of an offer to buy or acquire any securities of the Allwyn Group or the OPAP Group, or any affiliate thereof in any jurisdiction whatsoever. No part of the Information, nor the fact of its distribution, should form the basis of, or be relied on in connection with, any contract or commitment or investment decision whatsoever. None of the Allwyn Group, the OPAP Group or any of their respective advisers or representatives shall have any liability whatsoever for any loss whatsoever arising from any use of this announcement or its contents or otherwise arising in connection with this announcement (whether direct, indirect, consequential or other). Specifically, this announcement does not constitute a “prospectus” within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended or Regulation (EU) 2017/1129.

Certain information in this announcement and oral statements made in connection with this announcement are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the estimated future financial performance, financial position and financial impacts of the Allwyn Group, the OPAP Group and/or the post-Transaction Allwyn Group. Words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “objective,” “may,” “will,” “might,” “seem,” “should,” “could,” “can,” “intend,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “plan,” “is designed to,” “would,” “continue,” “project,” “possible,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” “strive,” “strategy,” “opportunity,” “will continue,” “will likely result” or similar expressions suggest future outcomes but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. When Allwyn or OPAP discuss strategies or plans, they are making projections and using forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates, forecasts of other financial and performance metrics, projections of market opportunity and other characterisations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions. Forward-looking statements, financial projections and financial targets are based on the opinions and estimates of management at the date the statements are made and are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, financial projections and financial targets. Although the Allwyn Group and the OPAP Group believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements and financial projections are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.

While in some cases presented with numerical specificity, by their nature, forward-looking statements, financial projections and financial targets involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking information will not occur, which may cause the Allwyn Group’s, the OPAP Group’s and the post-Transaction Allwyn Group’s actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any estimates or projections or targets of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, financial projections and financial targets. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Allwyn Group, the OPAP Group and/or the post-Transaction Allwyn Group. There may be additional risks that either the Allwyn Group and/or the OPAP Group presently knows, or that either the Allwyn Group and/or the OPAP Group currently believes are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Any financial targets reflect the Allwyn Group’s and the OPAP Group’s subjective judgements in many respects and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business, economic, financial and other developments. Accordingly, such assumptions may change or may not materialise at all. Any forward-looking statements, financial projections and financial targets contained in this announcement are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. While the Allwyn Group, the OPAP Group and/or the post-Transaction Allwyn Group may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, except as required by applicable law, the Allwyn Group, the OPAP Group and the post-Transaction Allwyn Group specifically disclaim any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. None of the Allwyn Group, the OPAP Group, the post-Transaction Allwyn Group, or any of their respective affiliates, advisers, officers, directors or representatives cannot give any assurance that any financial targets will be realised or that actual results will not vary significantly from the financial targets. Additionally, some or all of the information in this announcement is or may be price-sensitive information and the use of such information may be regulated or prohibited by applicable legislation, including securities laws related to insider dealing and market abuse. While all financial, operational, industry and market projections, estimates and targets are necessarily speculative, the Allwyn Group and the OPAP Group believe that the preparation of prospective financial, operational, industry and market information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection, estimate or target extends from the date of preparation. Actual results will differ, and may differ materially, from the results contemplated by the projected financial, operational, industry and market information contained in this announcement, and the inclusion of such information in this announcement should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such projections will be achieved.

The Information is provided as of the date of this announcement (or at the different date as indicated herein) and is subject to change without notice. The information contained in this announcement may be updated, completed, revised and amended and such information may change materially in the future. Neither the Allwyn Group nor the OPAP Group is under any obligation to update or keep current the information contained in this announcement.
