Corporate Transactions Update

Sportech, an international betting technology business, is pleased to provide an update on the three previously announced corporate transactions.

Corporate Transactions Update

The Group is pleased to confirm the completion of three transactions: the sale of the global Tote business to BetMakers Technology; the sale of Bump 50:50 to Canadian Banknote and the sale of a freehold property in New Haven, Connecticut. These transactions were all completed in line with the terms provided to shareholders previously. The projected aggregate net cash from these three corporate transactions totals £36.1 million.

It is the Board's intention to return the majority of proceeds to the Company's Shareholders when opportune to do so. The timing and extent of such a return of proceeds will take into account the Group's investment opportunities and ongoing capital requirements. The Board will consult with major Shareholders as to the appropriate combination of the use of Group net cash.

Richard McGuire, Chief Executive Officer of Sportech, said:

"I am pleased to announce these transactions are now complete and my gratitude goes to those dedicated professionals who are transferring to new owners of the operating businesses and I know our clients will appreciate the expertise, expanded product suite and commitment the team at BetMakers and Canadian Bank Note respectively will add.

"Sportech operations will be significantly smaller going forward and, as announced on Friday 4 June, we have recommended a listing move to the AIM market, which is a more suitable market for the Company's current size and strategy and will offer greater flexibility with regard to corporate transactions."

Publication on website

A copy of this announcement, shareholder circulars and the Annual Report will be available on the Group's website at www.sportechplc.com
