Dear Shareholder

I am writing to convene this year's Annual General Meeting (the "AGM") of Paddy Power Betfair plc (the "Company") to be held at 11.00am on Wednesday, 15 May 2019 at the headquarters of the Company in Belfield Office Park, Beech Hill Road, Clonskeagh, Dublin D04 V972, Ireland.

This letter briefly explains the business to be transacted thereat. Your attention is drawn to the Notice of AGM, which is set out on pages 5 to 8 of this document, as well as the Company's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2018 (the "Annual Report 2018"), which has been published on our website www.paddypowerbetfair.com/investor-relations.

In addition to the ordinary business, various items of special business are included in the Notice of AGM and further described below. Resolutions 1 to 6 and 8 are each being proposed as ordinary resolutions and Resolutions 7 and 9 to 12 are each being proposed as special resolutions. All Resolutions are recommended by the Board for approval.

Resolution 1 is to receive and consider the Company's Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 and the reports of the Directors and External Auditor thereon as set out in the Annual Report 2018, following a review of the Company's affairs.

Resolution 2 is to declare a final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2018 of 133 pence per ordinary share each with nominal value of €0.09 ("ordinary share").

Resolution 3 is to receive and consider the Directors' Remuneration Report² set out in the Annual Report 2018 on pages 74 to 95. This is an advisory resolution and is not binding on the Company.

Resolution 4 proposes the election of Jonathan Hill as a Director of the Company. Mr Hill was appointed by the Directors following the last AGM effective as of 22 October 2018, and, in accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company, shall retire and put himself forward for election by shareholders at this AGM.

Resolutions 5(a) and 5(h) propose that the remaining Directors shall retire and seek re-election at this AGM, in accordance with the recommendation of the UK Corporate Governance Code 2016.

All Directors seeking election and re-election under Resolutions 4 and 5 are considered to be making an effective contribution to their roles, bringing relevant knowledge, diversity of perspective, and an ability and willingness to challenge and each retains a strong commitment to the role. Accordingly, the Board recommends the election or re-election of each of the Directors proposed in Resolutions 4 and 5. Each of the election and re-elections are put as separate resolutions. Biographical information for each Director seeking election or re-election is set out in the Annual Report 2018 on pages 56 and 57.

Resolution 6 authorises the Directors to fix the remuneration of the Company's External Auditor for the year ending 31 December 2019.

In Resolution 7, shareholders are being asked to maintain the existing authority in the Articles of Association, which permits the Company to convene an extraordinary general meeting on not less than 14 clear days' notice in writing where the purpose of the meeting is to consider an ordinary resolution. As a matter of policy, the 14 clear days' notice will only be utilised where the Directors believe that it is merited by the business of the meeting and the circumstances surrounding the business.

In Resolution 8, shareholders are being asked, in line with the guidance issued by the Investment Association, to renew the Directors' authority to allot equity securities up to a maximum nominal amount of €2,343,143.34 (representing 26,034,926 ordinary shares) representing, in aggregate, approximately $33.3\%$ of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) as at 19 March 2019 (being the latest practicable date before publication of this document) (the "Latest Practicable Date"). If renewed, this authority shall expire at the close of the AGM of the Company held in 2020 or 14 August 2020 (whichever is earlier). Save for the allotment of shares in respect of the Group's employee share schemes, the Board has no immediate intention to exercise this authority and intends to comply with the guidance issued by the Investment Association.

---

Resolution 9 is a special resolution which asks shareholders to renew the Directors' authority to allot shares for cash without first being required to offer them to existing shareholders of the Company. It gives the Directors authority to allot shares up to 5% of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares³), which would be equivalent to an aggregate nominal value of €351,471.51 (representing 3,905,239 ordinary shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date. If renewed, this authority shall expire at the close of the AGM of the Company held in 2020 or 14 August 2020 (whichever is earlier). Save for the allotment of shares in respect of the Group's employee share schemes, the Board has no immediate intention to exercise this authority. It also intends to adhere to the provisions in the Pre-emption Group's Statement of Principles, and not allot shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis (other than pursuant to a rights issue or other pre-emptive offer) pursuant to the authority in Resolution 9 in excess of an amount equal to 75% of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares³) within a rolling three-year period, without prior consultation with shareholders.

In Resolution 10, shareholders are being asked to renew the authority of the Company, or any subsidiary, to make market purchases of the Company's shares. Up to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares³) as at the Latest Practicable Date (or, if less, up to 10% of the issued share capital (excluding treasury shares³) on the date on which Resolution 10 is passed) may be acquired under this authority. The price range at which shares may be acquired cannot be less than the nominal value of the Company's shares and cannot be greater than the higher of (i) an amount equal to 105% of the average of the middle market quotations of an ordinary share of the Company for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which the ordinary share is contracted to be purchased; and (ii) an amount equal to the higher of the price of the last independent trade of an ordinary share and the highest current independent bid for an ordinary share on the market where the purchase is carried out. Shares purchased by the Company may be cancelled or held in treasury pending cancellation or re-issue.

The Company exercised its authority to make market purchases of its own shares pursuant to the authority granted at last year's AGM. On 2 May 2018, the Company announced its intention to return £500m of cash to shareholders via a share buyback programme. Pursuant to this, the Company repurchased 6,993,308 of its ordinary shares between 29 May 2018 and 6 February 2019 for an aggregate consideration of £500m, all of which were cancelled. This represented 8.26% of the issued capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) as at 23 March 2018, being the latest practicable date prior to publication of the 2018 Notice of AGM. Further details of the share buyback programme are set out in the Annual Report 2018 on page 97.

The total number of options to subscribe for shares in the Company on the Latest Practicable Date is 1,654,683 which represents 2.12% of the total voting rights⁴ of the Company on that date. This percentage would increase to 2.35% if the full authority to buy back shares is used. If renewed, this authority shall expire at the close of the AGM of the Company held in 2020 or 14 August 2020 (whichever is earlier). The Board will only exercise the power to purchase shares in the future at price levels at which it considers purchases to be in the best interests of the shareholders generally after taking account of the Group's overall financial position.

In Resolution 11, shareholders are also being asked to pass a resolution authorising the Company to re-issue shares purchased by it and not cancelled as treasury shares⁵ off market within a price range, which shall not be less than 95% nor more than 120% of the average price of the Company's shares over the five dealing days prior to the date of re-issue by the Company. If renewed, this authority shall expire at the close of the AGM of the Company held in 2020 or 14 August 2020 (whichever is earlier). The total number of treasury shares⁵ held by the Company on the Latest Practicable Date was 1,965,600, which represents 2.52% of the total issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares³) as at the Latest Practicable Date.

In Resolution 12, shareholders are being asked to pass a special resolution authorising the Company to change its name to Flutter Entertainment plc and amending the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company to reflect such change. We believe that the corporate name of the Group should be reflective of the broader business and not just specific brands operated by the Group. Therefore, we consider that this is the correct decision in the context of the Group operating a growing number of diverse brands and operations.

Further action

The Form of Proxy for use at the AGM has been sent to shareholders on the register of members at close of business on Thursday, 21 March 2019. The Form of Proxy will be valid if lodged with the Company's Registrar, Link Asset Services, Link Registrars Limited, P.O. Box 1110, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland (if delivered by post) or at 2 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, D02 A342, Ireland (if delivered by hand) so as to be received by no later than 11.00am on Monday, 13 May 2019. CREST members may also use the CREST electronic proxy appointment service to appoint a proxy for the AGM. Alternatively, you may appoint a proxy electronically, by visiting the website of the Company's Registrar at www.paddypowerbetfairshares.com; to do this, you will need your Investor Code (IVC), which can be found on your Form of Proxy. Further instructions on how to appoint a Proxy are set out in the notes to the Notice of AGM and on the Form of Proxy. All proxy appointments must be received no later than 11.00am on Monday, 13 May 2019. The completion and lodging of the Form of Proxy will not prevent you from attending and voting in person at the AGM should you wish to do so.

Recommendation

The Board is of the opinion that the Resolutions to be proposed at the AGM are in the best interests of shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that you vote in favour of the Resolutions, as the Directors intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings.

Yours faithfully

Gary McGann

Notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting of Paddy Power Betfair plc

1. The final dividend, if approved, will be paid on ordinary shares on 21 May 2019 to persons who were registered as shareholders at the close of business on 12 April 2019.

2. Resolution 3 is an advisory resolution and is not binding on the Company.

3. Treasury shares are shares in the Company which are owned by the Company or any subsidiary. The Company, following purchase of its own shares, is able to hold such shares in treasury instead of cancelling them. Such shares may subsequently be re-issued for cash, transferred to an employees' share scheme or cancelled. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company's issued share capital consisted of 78,104,780 ordinary shares, carrying one vote each and being eligible for dividends, excluding any shares held as treasury shares, which do not carry voting rights and are not eligible for dividends. The Company held 1,965,600 treasury shares at the Latest Practicable Date. Therefore, the total number of voting rights as at the Latest Practicable Date was 78,104,780.

4. Any member entitled to attend, speak and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint a proxy (who need not be a member of the Company) to attend, speak and vote in his/her place. Completion of a Form of Proxy will not affect the right of a member to attend, speak and vote at the AGM in person. A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy to attend and vote at the AGM provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares held by that shareholder. Should you wish to appoint more than one proxy, please read carefully the explanatory notes accompanying the Form of Proxy. A member may appoint a proxy or proxies electronically by logging on to the website of the Registrar, Link Asset Services: www.paddypowerbetfairshares.com. Shareholders will be asked to enter the Investor Code (IVC) as printed on their Form of Proxy and agree to certain conditions.

5. Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company (including this AGM). In accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company, notice is hereby given that all resolutions at the AGM are to be decided by way of poll. On a poll vote, every member present in person or by proxy has one vote for every ordinary share of which he/she is the holder. Pursuant to Section 190(b) of the Companies Act 2014, where a poll is taken at the AGM, a shareholder, present in person or by proxy, holding more than one share need not cast all of his/her votes in the same way.

6. As a shareholder, you have several ways to exercise your right to vote:

(a) by attending the AGM in person; or
(b) by appointing (either electronically or by returning a completed Form of Proxy) the Chair or another person as a proxy to vote on your behalf; or
(c) by appointing a proxy via the CREST System if you hold your shares in CREST.

1. If you are appointing someone other than the Chair as your proxy, then you must fill in the details of your representative at the AGM in the box located underneath the wording "I/We hereby appoint(s) the Chair of the AGM or" on the Form of Proxy. If you appoint the Chair or another person as a proxy to vote on your behalf, please make sure to indicate how you wish your votes to be cast by ticking the relevant boxes on the Form of Proxy.

2. In the case of joint holders, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other registered holder(s) and, for this purpose, seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members.

3. To be valid, Form(s) of Proxy duly signed together with the power of attorney or such other authority (if any) under which they are signed (or a certified copy of such power or authority) must be lodged with the Company's Registrar, Link Asset Services, Link Registrars Limited, P.O. Box 1110, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland (if delivered by post) or at 2 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, D02 A342, Ireland (if delivered by hand), by no later than 11.00am on Monday, 13 May 2019. Completing and returning a Form of Proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the AGM should you wish to do so.

4. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the AGM and any adjournment(s) thereof by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST Proxy Instruction must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear (UK and Ireland) Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by Link Asset Services by 11.00am on Monday, 13 May 2019. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which Link Asset Services is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear (UK and Ireland) Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s)), to procure that his/her CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Companies Act, 1990 (Uncertificated Securities) Regulations, 1996 (as amended).
