Chairman's letter
Dear Shareholder,
Annual General Meeting
Our Annual General Meeting will be held at 10.00 a.m. on Wednesday, 20 May 2026 at Uncommon Holborn, 81-87 High Holborn, London, WC1V 6DF (the 'AGM' or the 'Meeting'). Registration will commence at 9.30 a.m.
Details of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM are set out in the Notice of AGM on pages 2 to 3 of this document. An explanation of all the resolutions can be found on pages 4 to 5 of this document.
Asking Questions
We, as your Board, are committed to open dialogue with our shareholders, and our AGM is an excellent means to engage with you directly. The AGM is an opportunity for you, our shareholders, to express your views and to ask questions of the Board. We want to ensure our shareholders are able to raise questions with the Board, regardless of whether they are able to attend the AGM in person. If you are not intending to attend the AGM, you may submit questions relating to the business of the AGM beforehand via email to [email protected] so as to be received by 10.00 a.m. on Monday, 18 May 2026. All questions received before such deadline will be considered and addressed at the AGM, via our website or in private correspondence (as appropriate), according to the nature of the question. The Company will seek to consider questions received after the deadline on a best efforts basis. Please include your Shareholder Reference Number ('SRN') with your questions. The SRN can be found on your Form of Proxy or Share Certificate. The Company may consolidate questions of a similar nature to avoid duplication. Shareholders and their proxies or corporate representatives attending the AGM in person will have the ability to ask questions at the Meeting.
Appointment of a Proxy
All votes are important to us and I encourage you to submit your voting instructions as early as possible. You can submit your voting instructions in the following ways:
- by submitting your proxy electronically through Computershare's Investor Centre website, www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy
- by completing the Form of Proxy and returning it to our Registrars using the Freepost address on the back of the Form of Proxy. If you are posting outside the UK, please return the completed Form of Proxy in an envelope with the correct postage to Computershare Investor Services (Jersey) Limited, c/o, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY
- Via the CREST electronic proxy appointment service (for CREST members)
- For institutional investors, via the Proxymity platform at www.proxymity.io
To be valid, your completed Form of Proxy or online instruction must have been received by 10.00 a.m. on Monday, 18 May 2026. Appointing a proxy will not prevent you from attending and voting at the AGM in person.
Voting at the AGM
Save for any procedural resolution which will be taken on a show of hands, each of the resolutions to be put to the Meeting will be voted on by poll, which means that each share carries one vote and all votes count. Once the results of the voting have been verified by our Registrars, Computershare, they will be announced via the London Stock Exchange Regulatory News Service and published on our website shortly after the AGM. Our Company Secretariat remain available to shareholders for any questions related to the AGM via [email protected].
Recommendation:
The Directors of Playtech plc (the 'Company') consider that all the resolutions contained in the Notice of the AGM are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and recommend that you vote in favour of each of them, as they intend to do in respect of their beneficial shareholdings, save in respect of those resolutions in which they are interested. I would like to thank you, on behalf of the Board of Directors, for your continued support.
Yours faithfully
John Gleasure

Appendix 1
Explanatory notes to the resolutions
The following notes provide an explanation of the resolutions which are to be proposed at this year's Annual General Meeting ('AGM'). The notice of Meeting can be found on pages 2 to 3.
Ordinary resolutions
1. Resolution 1 – Annual Report and Accounts
The Directors must present the annual accounts, the strategic report, the Directors' report and the auditor's report to shareholders at the AGM.
2. Resolution 2 – Directors' Remuneration Report
As an Isle of Man incorporated company, Playtech is not required to comply with the UK Companies Act 2006 rules on Directors' Remuneration Reports. However, the Board chooses to voluntarily mirror the requirements of UK incorporated company listed on the equity shares commercial companies segment of the FCA's official list in the interests of good corporate governance.
The Directors' Remuneration Report set out on pages 120 to 133 of the Company's annual report and accounts, provides information on the Directors' remuneration for the year ended 31 December 2025 and sets out the application of the company's Directors' remuneration policy. BDO LLP has audited those parts of the Directors' Remuneration Report that are required to be audited, as detailed on pages 124 to 133 of the annual report and accounts.
The vote on the Directors' Remuneration Report is advisory and concerns overall remuneration packages generally than to individual levels of remuneration. The current Directors' remuneration policy was approved by shareholders at the General Meeting on 19 December 2024 for a period of up to three years and is, therefore, not required to be put to shareholders for approval at this year's AGM. It will be put to shareholders for approval again by no later than the end of 2027. A copy of the Directors' remuneration policy is available at www.playtech.com.
3. Resolutions 3 to 9 – Re-election of Directors
Although the articles of association of the Company (the 'Articles') do not require the Directors to retire and be put up for re-election at each AGM, in accordance with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code, all of the Directors of the Company have resolved that they will retire and offer themselves for re-election by shareholders at the AGM.
The Nomination Committee has recently reviewed these re-election proposals formally and, based on experience, performance, skills and commitment demonstrated, has recommended to the Board that each Director be proposed to the shareholders for re-election. The Board has considered and agrees with this recommendation. The Board considers that each Director proposed for re-election continues to make an effective and valuable contribution and demonstrates commitment to the role. The Board is content that each independent Non-Executive Director offering themselves for re-election is independent in character and there are no relationships or circumstances likely to affect their judgement.
The Board notes the disclosures required under UKLR 6.6.6(9) regarding the sex/gender and ethnicity representation of the Board as at 31 December 2025.
While the Company has achieved encouraging levels of gender representation at executive management level and continues to demonstrate ethnic diversity across both the Board and senior leadership, overall female representation on the Board remains below the FCA's 40% target. The Board considers it important to acknowledge this openly, noting that the Board was aligned with the FCA's gender representation expectations until the resignation of Anna Massion during the year.
During FY25, priority was necessarily placed on the disposal of Snaitech and the transition to a pure-play B2B business model. With the business now positioned for future growth, the Board and the Nomination Committee will prioritise a review of Board composition and succession planning during the coming year, with a particular focus on the balance of skills, experience and diversity needed to support the Company's long term strategy. Playtech has increased female representation in senior leadership roles to 32% and remains committed to further progress towards achieving 35% female representation in senior leadership positions.
4. Resolutions 10 and 11 – Appointment of auditor and auditor's remuneration
The Company is required to re-appoint the auditor at each AGM at which its audited accounts and reports are presented to shareholders. Accordingly, following a recommendation by the Audit Committee, the Board now proposes that BDO LLP is re-appointed by the Company's shareholders as auditor for the financial year ending 31 December 2026. Resolution 11 authorises the Audit and Risk Committee to determine the auditor's remuneration.
As part of its assessment of audit effectiveness, the Audit and Risk Committee held private meetings with the external auditor during the year and considered reports from the external auditor and management on both the audit process and quality procedures. The review concluded that the external audit process continued to be effective and matters highlighted for improvement will be taken forward accordingly during the year.
5. Resolution 12 – Power of Directors to allot shares
The Articles provide that the Directors may only allot ordinary shares or grant rights to subscribe for or convert securities into ordinary shares if authorised to do so by the holders of ordinary shares. At previous recent AGMs, the Directors sought such authority but the resolution was not passed. From the engagement, the Company has had with shareholders, the common theme apparent from those that opposed the resolution was an approach to governance which prefers not to grant general or annual authorities in respect of changes in equity capital but instead to review approvals when required for specific transactions or purposes.
While the Board respects the view of these shareholders, the Board continues to consider it prudent to seek flexibility to allot new shares and grant rights up until the next Annual General Meeting, as is customary and within the limits prescribed by the Investment Association (1A). The IA guidelines treat as routine resolutions seeking authority to allot shares representing approximately one-third of the ordinary shares in issue (excluding treasury shares), and an additional one-third provided it is used only in connection with a fully pre-emptive offer. The Company confirms that there is no current intention to allot shares, and, save in exceptional circumstances, would always look to consult with its shareholders before any new shares are issued.
Accordingly, resolution 12, paragraph (a) authorises the Directors to allot up to 103,098,081 ordinary shares (representing approximately one-third of the Company's issued ordinary shares), and resolution 12, paragraph (b) authorises the allotment of up to 206,196,162 ordinary shares (representing approximately two-thirds of the Company's issued ordinary shares, as reduced by allotments under paragraph (a)), only in connection with a fully pre-emptive offer, in each case calculated as at 16 April 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice of Annual General Meeting).
The authority will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or, if sooner, at the close of business on the date which is 15 months after the date of the passing of the resolution (unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company). The Directors have no present intention of exercising this authority but consider it prudent to maintain the flexibility it provides and intend to renew it annually. The Company did not hold any shares in treasury as at 16 April 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice of Annual General Meeting).
Special resolutions
6. Resolution 13 – Disapplication of pre-emption rights
Under article 6 of the Articles, if the Directors wish to exercise the authority under resolution 12 to allot ordinary shares or grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any security into, ordinary shares, or to sell treasury shares, for cash (other than pursuant to a share scheme of the Company), they must first offer such shares to existing shareholders pro rata to their holdings. As noted in explanatory Note 5 above in relation to resolution 12, the equivalent disapplication resolution was not passed at the 2025 AGM. The Board has engaged with shareholders to understand their concerns, as described in that Note. While the Board respects the view of these shareholders, there may be occasions when it is in the Company's interests for the Directors to have the flexibility to allot new ordinary shares (or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert securities into, ordinary shares) or sell treasury shares for cash without a fully pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders.
The purpose of resolution 13 is therefore to authorise the Directors (subject to the passing of resolution 12) to allot ordinary shares or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert securities into, ordinary shares, or to sell treasury shares, for cash without first offering such shares to existing shareholders. The authority would be limited to:
(a) allotments or sales by way of a pre-emptive offer only (as defined in resolution 12); and
(b) allotments or sales (otherwise than pursuant to paragraph (a) above) up to an aggregate number of 30,929,424 ordinary shares, which represents approximately 10% of the Company's issued ordinary shares as at 6.00 p.m. on 16 April 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice of Annual General Meeting).
The IA's most recent Share Capital Management Guidelines (published in February 2023) and the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles (as revised in November 2022) would permit a disapplication authority in excess of 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital. However, having regard to the concerns expressed by shareholders, the Board has determined to seek a more conservative disapplication authority limited to 10% of the Company's issued ordinary shares. Resolution 13 has been prepared in accordance with the template resolution published by the Pre-Emption Group in November 2022, adapted to reflect this reduced limit. The authority and limits set by resolution 13 will also apply to any sale or transfer of treasury shares. The Company did not hold any shares in treasury as at 16 April 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice of Annual General Meeting).
The Directors have no present intention of exercising this authority but consider it prudent to maintain the flexibility it provides. Any allotment or sale under resolution 13 will be in accordance with the shareholder protections contemplated in paragraph 1 of section 2B of the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting. The authority will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or, if sooner, at the close of business on the date which is 15 months after the date of the passing of the resolution. The Directors intend to renew this authority annually.
7. Resolution 14 – Purchase of own shares
This resolution seeks authority for the Company to make market purchases of its own ordinary shares and is proposed as a special resolution. If passed, the resolution gives authority for the Company to purchase up to 30,929,424 of its ordinary shares, representing just under 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 16 April 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice of Annual General Meeting).
The resolution specifies the minimum and maximum prices which may be paid for any ordinary shares purchased under this authority. The power conferred by this resolution will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or, if sooner, at the close of business on the date which is 15 months after the date of the passing of the resolution.
The Directors do not currently have any intention of exercising the authority granted by this resolution. The Directors will only exercise the authority to purchase ordinary shares granted by this resolution where they consider that such purchases will be in the best interests of shareholders generally and could be expected to result in an increase in earnings per share of the Company.
On 16 April 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice of Annual General Meeting), the total number of options to subscribe for ordinary shares in the Company amounted to 6,129,396. This represented 1.98% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital on that date. If this authority to purchase shares was exercised in full, these options would represent 2.20% of the issued ordinary share capital as at 16 April 2026 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice of Annual General Meeting). The Company does not have any outstanding share warrants.

CREST sponsored members who have appointed a voting service provider 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 made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a 'CREST Proxy Instruction') must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com/CREST). The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is 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 the issuer's agent (ID number 3RA50) not later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48-hour period falling on a non-business day) before the time appointed for the AGM. 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 the issuer's agent 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 provider(s) should note that Euroclear UK & International Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular message.

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 limitation of the CREST systems and timings. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 18(4)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2006 (Isle of Man).
