("Flutter" or the "Company")
Notice of EGM and Publication of Circular
An Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company will be held at
Arthur Cox, Ten Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland on
Tuesday, 19 January 2021 at 11.00 am ("EGM").
The business of the EGM will be to consider and, if thought fit,
approve certain resolutions relating to the replacement of CREST
with a system operated by Euroclear Bank SA/NV for the electronic
settlement of trading in the Company's ordinary shares ("Migration
Resolutions"). Approval of the Migration Resolutions is necessary
to ensure the Company's shares can continue to be settled
electronically when they are traded on Euronext Dublin and the
London Stock Exchange and remain eligible for continued admission
to trading and listing on those exchanges. Additionally, the
Company will be proposing certain routine modernisation amendments
to its Articles of Association at the EGM.
A circular which includes the Notice of the EGM ("Circular") and
a Form of Proxy have been made available to Shareholders today. The
Board strongly urges Shareholders to review the contents of the
Circular in their entirety, including the documents referred to
therein, and consider the Board's recommendation to vote in favour
of the Resolutions. The defined terms set out in Part 9 of the
Circular have the same meaning when used in this announcement.
Due to the restrictions on travel and meetings under the
regulations and the guidance issued by the Government of Ireland
and the Department of Health relating to the ongoing Coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic, the EGM will proceed under very constrained
circumstances. Flutter Shareholders are requested not to attend the
EGM in person and instead to submit a Form of Proxy, appointing the
Chair of the EGM as their proxy to vote as instructed on their
behalf, to ensure they can vote and be represented at the EGM
without attending in person. The Circular and guidance for
shareholders regarding the format of the EGM in light of
Coronavirus (COVID-19) precautions will be available on Flutter's
website: www.flutter.com/investors .
The Circular and certain other documents (including the proposed
amendments to the Articles of Association) relating to the
Migration will be available to view on the Company's website (
www.flutter.com/investors ), and will be available for inspection
during usual business hours from the date of this notice until the
EGM at Flutter's registered office and Arthur Cox's London office
at 12 Gough Square, London EC4A 3DW, United Kingdom.
A copy of the Circular will be submitted to the U.K. National
Storage Mechanism and to Euronext Dublin, where they will be
available at:
-- U.K. National Storage Mechanism: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism ;
-- Euronext Dublin: Company Announcements Office, The Irish
Stock Exchange t/a Euronext Dublin, 28 Anglesea Street, Dublin

An indicative timetable of principal events in relation to the
EGM is set out below:
-- Publication date of this Circular : 21 December 2020
-- Latest time and date for receipt of Forms of Proxy : 11.00 am
on 17 January 2021
-- Voting Record Time 7.00 pm on 17 January 2021
-- Time and date of Extraordinary General Meeting 11.00 am on 19 January 2021
Listening live to the EGM
If you wish to listen live to the EGM, Flutter Shareholders may
do so by availing of the telephone facility and dialling-in to the
numbers specified in the "Important Notice Regarding Coronavirus
(COVID-19)", included with the Circular and available on the
Company's website. Shareholders wishing to avail of this facility
should ensure that they have submitted their Form of Proxy by the
relevant deadline in advance of the EGM, as it will not be possible
to vote at the EGM using the telephone facility.
Total Voting Rights
The Company confirms that the total number of ordinary shares in
issues as at 21 December 2020 is 165,263,242 with a nominal value
of EUR0.09 each, with each share carrying the right to one vote.
The Company holds 1,965,600 ordinary shares in treasury, which do
not carry voting rights. The figure which may be used by
shareholders as the denominator of the calculations by which they
will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or
a charge to their interest in the Company under the Transparency
(Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 and the Transparency
Rules, is therefore, 163,297,642.
