("Sportech" or the "Company")

 

Intention to return capital to shareholders

 

Sportech, one of the world's leading pool betting organisations, today announces that the Board has resolved to return approximately £20 million to shareholders by way of a tender offer to be implemented during the current tax year (the "Tender Offer").

 

The Tender Offer will be effected by using the Company's existing authorities to repurchase ordinary shares and is therefore not subject to shareholder approval.

 

A circular containing the terms and conditions and details of how eligible shareholders will be able to participate in the Tender Offer will be posted to shareholders in due course.
