2022 LTIP Awards 

The LTIP awards will normally vest on 18 March 2025, being the third anniversary of the award date subject to 1) continuous employment; and 2) the satisfaction of the relative Total Shareholder Return performance conditions set by the Company's Remuneration Committee on 16 February 2022.  These stretching performance conditions, are detailed in the 2021 Directors' Remuneration Report in the Entain Annual Report (that will be available on the Entain corporate website at www.entaingroup.com from 25 March 2022).  The post tax number of shares vesting from these awards are subject to a two year, post vest, holding period.

The terms of these awards provide the Remuneration Committee with the ability to review the outcome at vesting and, if it concludes that participants would benefit from 'windfall gains', it will consider making appropriate adjustments to reflect this.

ADBP Awards

In the Company's remuneration policy, 50% of the Executive Directors' annual bonus is deferred in shares.  The above deferred bonus awards have therefore been granted in respect of the CEO, CFO & Deputy CEO, and Chief Governance Officer's annual bonus for the 2021 financial year.  These awards will normally vest on 18 March 2025, being the third anniversary of the award date, subject to continued employment.

The Entain Directors hold in aggregate 328,481  Shares (including those of their closely associated persons) equivalent to 0.06% of the Company's issued share capital.

The information set out below is provided in accordance with the requirements of Article 19(3) of the EU Market Abuse Regulation No 596/2014.
