Dear Fellow Shareholder,

I am pleased to inform you that today, the combination of Tabcorp Holdings Limited (Tabcorp) and Tatts Group Limited (Tatts) originally announced on 19 October 2016 has become effective and binding. These two great Australian companies will come together under the Tabcorp name on 22 December 2017.

The combination creates a world-class, diversified gambling entertainment group, with a large national footprint and a diverse product offering across wagering, media, lotteries, Keno and gaming services.

The combination brings together two highly complementary businesses and a strong pool of talent from within each organisation, ensuring that the combined group is well positioned to invest, innovate and compete in a rapidly evolving operating environment.

The integration of the two businesses is expected to take approximately two years, subject to the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals. The combination is expected to create significant value for Tabcorp shareholders, and benefits for our customers, racing industry, agencies, licenced venues, newsagents, and Federal, State and Territory Governments.

This strategic transaction is transformational for Tabcorp and will underpin an exciting period of growth and new opportunity for the Company. The Directors and management of Tabcorp look forward to sharing this journey with you.
