It seems clear that the UK license is a significant milestone that is largely responsible for the IPO not being commenced sooner:
“ The long-awaited content supply license is a significant milestone for Leap, allowing it to access the lucrative UK gaming market, which, according to the Gambling Commission, the regulated gambling industry in Great Britain generated a gross gambling yield ("GGY") of £14.1bn during the period April 2019 to Mar 20201. The license is expected to unlock a great number of immediate opportunities for Leap for its existing content portfolio through its current estate and immediate pipeline. The UKGC license is added to the other recent licenses obtained by Leap in Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, South Africa and Greece.”
It will be equally important to other M&A options that are being looked at as it unlocks a number of immediate opportunities and therefore present and future value.
