An international betting and technology business, announces a trading update and Board changes ahead of its AGM to be held at 10.30 a.m. today. The first five months of the year trading has been in line with the Board’s expectations.

Record online growth in pari-mutuel betting seen during the pandemic has receded slightly as the effects of new forms of online gambling in Connecticut has inevitably impacted the discretionary gambling dollar available to historic Sportech products. However, the introduction of sports betting has been very positive, and the Board are confident that the Company will achieve the projected overall improvement in the Venues business to support a positive Group EBITDA this year. Andrew Lindley will step down from his role as Chief Executive Officer. Richard McGuire, current Non-Executive Chairman, has been appointed Executive Chairman, effective immediately. Mr McGuire shall receive no fixed compensation for the role, however it is anticipated he will participate in a performance only incentive, directly linked to significant Group value creation.
