DUBLIN, July 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Flutter
Entertainment plc ("Flutter") wishes to remind former shareholders
of The Stars Group Inc. ("Stars") to claim the ordinary shares of
Flutter ("Flutter Shares") to which they are entitled following
completion of the combination of Stars and Flutter (the
"Combination") which became effective on May
5, 2020 (the "Effective Date"). Former shareholders of
Stars are entitled to 0.2253 of a Flutter Share for each Stars
common share ("Stars Shares") held by the shareholder on the
Effective Date.
In order to receive Flutter Shares, a completed Letter of
Transmittal, together with a certificate representing the Stars
Shares held by such shareholder (if any) and all other required
documents, must be delivered to Computershare Investor Services
Inc. (contact details below), the depositary in connection with the
Combination, which holds unclaimed Flutter Shares in trust for
former Stars shareholders.
Former registered holders of Stars Shares who have yet to claim
their Flutter Shares will shortly receive a letter accompanied by a
copy of the Letter of Transmittal in respect of the
Combination.
Former non-registered (beneficial) holders of Stars Shares are
advised to engage with their broker, investment dealer or other
intermediary to ensure that such intermediaries promptly submit
Letters of Transmittal in order to claim the Flutter Shares to
which the former non-registered (beneficial) holders of Stars
Shares are entitled.
All Flutter Shares claimed will be issued in "certificated" form
by default. Former shareholders of Stars who wish to hold their
Flutter Shares in "uncertificated" form will need to take steps to
convert the certificated Flutter Shares issued to them into
uncertificated form. Only Flutter Shares which are held in
uncertificated form can be traded electronically on the London
Stock Exchange and Euronext Dublin under the ticker "FLTR" with
ISIN IE00BWT6H894.
A copy of the Letter of Transmittal and a "Settlement FAQ"
containing further information on holding Flutter Shares in
uncertificated form, as well as the process for converting
certificated shares into uncertificated shares, can be found on
Flutter's website at
https://www.flutter.com/investors/the-stars-group-merger.
Former shareholders of Stars should be aware that if they
fail to claim their Flutter Shares by May 4,
2023, being the date that is three years less one day from
the Effective Date, the Flutter Shares to which such former
shareholder of Stars was ultimately entitled will be deemed to have
been surrendered to Flutter, together with all entitlements to
dividends, distributions and interest thereon held for such former
shareholder of Stars.
