Playtech PLC said late Sunday that it has agreed to a 2.1
billion-pound ($2.89 billion) takeover from Australian-listed
gaming content and technology company Aristocrat Leisure Ltd.
through its subsidiary Aristocrat (UK) Holdings Ltd.
Under the offer, accepting shareholders of the FTSE 250-listed
gambling-technology company will get 680 pence in cash for each
share owned. The offer price is a 58% premium to Playtech's closing
price of 429.20 pence on Friday.
The offer puts an enterprise value on Playtech of GBP2.7
billion.
"In recent years, Playtech has successfully repositioned its
world leading gambling technology and operations, expanding in
strategically important regulated markets and driving major online
B2B revenue growth. Whilst the business has made significant
progress, most notably in the Americas, Aristocrat's proposal
provides an attractive opportunity for shareholders to accelerate
Playtech's longer-term value," Playtech Chairman Brian Mattingley
said.
