Open Letter to Sportech Limited Shareholders

15 October 2025

Dear Shareholder,

Application of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers to Sportech Limited

As you may recall, at a general meeting held in October 2023, Sportech’s cancellation from trading on AIM and its re-registration as a private limited company (the “Cancellation and Re-registration”) was approved by shareholders.

The notice of general meeting (a copy of which remains available on Sportech’s website) set out the consequences of the Cancellation and Re-registration (the “Notice of General Meeting”).  The Cancellation and Re-registration became effective in December 2023.  One of those consequences was that the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “Code”) would cease to apply to Sportech on the earlier of (a) the expiry of the period of 10 years following the Cancellation and Re-registration; and (b) such time as the majority of the directors of Sportech ceased to be resident in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.

Sportech’s primary place of business is the United States of America and, to align its governance arrangements with its operations in the USA, the majority of the directors of Sportech have ceased to be resident in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.  As a result of these changes, the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers has confirmed that the Code no longer applies to Sportech.  

The consequences of the Code ceasing to apply to Sportech remain as set out in the Notice of General Meeting and shareholders can find further information about those in Part 3 and Appendix A of the Notice of General Meeting.

Should you have any questions regarding this change or its implications, please contact our Investor Relations team at [email protected]

Your Board continues to focus on progressing Sportech’s business in the best interests of all shareholders and we appreciate your continued support.

Yours sincerely,

Richard McGuire

Such access supports their international growth aspirations including the recently announced enhanced partnership with The Hong Kong Jockey Club.

In addition to the new international commingling agreement, Sportech formally handed over a proprietary digital platform on which Sportech has worked closely with UK Tote Group over the last year to jointly create and deliver.

Sportech Venues, Inc., a division of Sportech PLC, announced that the Connecticut State Budget signed by Governor Lamont on June 26, 2019 included legislation that clarifies and strengthens Sportech’s exclusive license to conduct off-track pari-mutuel betting in the State of Connecticut.

Sportech Venues, Inc. holds the exclusive license to offer off-track betting in the State of Connecticut and does so through its 15 venues and online betting services.

This budget legislation closes a loophole and thus legally prohibits unlicensed online operators from taking wagers from Connecticut residents.  This law becomes effective as of 1 October 2019.

Ted Taylor, President of Sportech Venues, Inc., said, “Sportech have invested heavily in our Connecticut business on the basis of our exclusive license to offer off-track betting there. We are pleased that the State of Connecticut recognized Sportech’s exclusive license with this legislation to close a loophole that deprived Sportech of legitimate revenues but also, by virtue of uncollected pari-mutuel taxes, deprived the State of Connecticut of tax proceeds. This was a good result for both Sportech and for the people of the State of Connecticut.”
