About this update from Evoke Plc
NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF THAT JURISDICTION FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 3 July 2026 RECOMMENDED ALL-SHARE ACQUISITION of evoke plc by Bally's Intralot S.A. to be implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part VIII of the Gibraltar Companies Act 2014 TIMING OF POSTING SCHEME DOCUMENT On 5 June 2026, the board of Bally's Intralot S.A. ("Intralot") and the board of evoke plc ("evoke") announced that they had reached an agreement on the terms and conditions of a recommended all-share acquisition by Intralot of the entire issued, and to be issued, ordinary share capital of evoke (the "Announcement" and the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition is intended to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement between evoke and evoke Shareholders under Part VIII of the Gibraltar Companies Act 2014. Capitalised terms used in this announcement have the same meaning given to them in the Announcement, unless otherwise defined herein. Timing of posting of the Scheme Document evoke and Intralot now expect that the Scheme Document and associated materials will be dispatched to evoke Shareholders on or before 24 July 2026, rather than within 28 days following the date of the Announcement (as was originally specified in the Announcement). This is in order to allow further time to finalise the documentation required to be published in connection with the Scheme, as well as certain procedural steps before the Supreme Court of Gibraltar. There is no change to the expected timing for completion of the Acquisition set out in the Announcement, with completion still expected to occur in the final quarter of 2026 or first quarter of 2027, subject to the satisfaction (or, where applicable, waiver) of the Conditions set out in Appendix 1 to the Announcement. The detailed expected timetable for implementation of the Acquisition will be set out in the Scheme Document.
