AGM Statement

Trading in line with management expectations and integration of recent acquisitions progressing well

Stride Gaming plc (AIM: STR), the online gaming operator, announces that at today's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") the Chairman of Stride Gaming, Nigel Payne, will make the following statement:

"The Group's performance in the financial year is in line with management expectations. Performance of the real money gaming vertical has been strong which has more than offset weaker than expected performance in the social gaming vertical. The organic growth of the business is encouraging and the integration of 8Ball, Netboost Media and the Tarco Assets, the online bingo businesses which we acquired in August 2016 for up to £70.2 million is progressing in line with management expectation. Our focus in 2017 is on embedding these acquisitions into the enlarged Group, maximising synergies and ensuring the underlying organic business remains robust.

"With material scale and 105 brands following these acquisitions, Stride Gaming has 10% share of the UK online bingo market making it the fourth largest online bingo operator in the UK. The Board believes Stride Gaming is well positioned to capitalise on the opportunities in the sector and to increase our market share through strong organic growth and selective acquisitions."
