If you are in any doubt as to the action you should take, you are recommended to seek your own financial advice immediately from your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant, fund manager or other appropriate independent financial adviser duly authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended) if you are in the United Kingdom or from another appropriately authorised independent financial adviser if you are in a territory outside the United Kingdom.

If you sell or transfer or have sold or otherwise transferred all of your Ordinary Shares, please forward this document to the purchaser or transferee, or to the stockbroker, bank or other agent through whom the sale or transfer was effected, for delivery to the purchaser or transferee.

This document (the "Supplementary Circular") is a supplementary circular relating to the Disposal and has been prepared for the purposes of complying with the laws of the Isle of Man and the Listing Rules and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this document had been prepared in accordance with the laws and regulations of any other jurisdiction.

This document is supplemental to, and must be read in conjunction with, the original circular distributed to the Company's Shareholders dated 24 June 2021 (the "Original Circular").

Unless otherwise defined in this Supplementary Circular, capitalised terms have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Circular.

The Original Circular set out notice of the General Meeting of the Company to be held at Midcity Place, 71 High Holborn, London WC1V 6EA at 10.00 a.m. on 15 July 2021. At the General Meeting, a resolution to adjourn the General Meeting to a date to be notified by the Company to Shareholders in due course was duly passed. This is intended to allow Shareholders sufficient time to consider the recent developments which are summarised in Part I of this Supplementary Circular.

Notice is given that the General Meeting will be resumed at 10.00 a.m. on 18 August 2021 at Midcity Place, 71 High Holborn, London WC1V 6EA to consider and, if thought fit, pass the Resolution to approve the Disposal.

A summary of the action to be taken by Shareholders is set out below and on page 2 of this document.

As a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic and the legislative measures and associated guidance introduced by the UK government in response, for the safety of our Shareholders, our employees, our advisers and the general public, the adjourned General Meeting will be held as a closed meeting. Attendance by Shareholders at the adjourned General Meeting in person will not be possible and Shareholders or their appointed proxies (other than the chair of the General Meeting) will not be permitted entry to the adjourned General Meeting.

Dear Shareholder,
Proposed disposal of the Finalto Business and Notice of adjourned General Meeting

Introduction

On 26 May 2021, the Company announced the signing of a sale and purchase agreement (the "Consortium SPA") with the consortium led by Barinboim Group and backed by Leumi Partners Limited and Menora Mivtachim Insurance Limited, together with key members of the Finalto management team (together the "Consortium"), for the sale of the Company's financial trading division ("Finalto") for up to US$210 million (the "Consortium Agreement").

Details of the Consortium Agreement were set out in the Original Circular published on 24 June 2021.

I am writing today to update you on various developments since the Original Circular.

As announced on 2 July 2021, the Company received on 29 June 2021 an indicative non-binding conditional offer from Gopher Investments ("Gopher") to acquire Finalto for US$250 million (the "Gopher Proposal"). As announced on 25 June 2021, Gopher is a 4.97% shareholder in the Company.

The Company announced on 9 July 2021 that, having consulted with a large proportion of its major Shareholders, it intended to adjourn the General Meeting, which had been convened for the purposes of approving the proposed sale of Finalto to the Consortium.

On 15 July 2021, the Company announced such adjournment and confirmed that the Company would publish a supplementary circular to the one sent to Shareholders on 24 June 2021, which would update Shareholders on the Finalto sale process, including the Gopher Proposal.

This document is the Supplementary Circular and notice that the adjourned General Meeting to consider and, if thought fit, pass the Resolution to approve the Disposal will resume at 10.00 am on 18 August 2021 at Midcity Place, 71 High Holborn, London WC1V 6EA.

Background to the Consortium Agreement and the Gopher Proposal

As the Company has announced previously, it is a strategic focus of the Playtech Group to simplify its business operations and dispose of non-core assets. The Company's strategy is to focus on its core gambling businesses, where it can leverage its market leading technology and particularly on specific significant opportunities in its key target growth markets of the US, Latin America and Europe. As such, it had for some time been evaluating its options in relation to the Finalto Business.

As part of this strategy, UBS was appointed in 2019 to run a process to maximise value from a disposal of the business. Details as to the process run, including the evaluations of the Board, and certain facts relating to that process were set out in detail in the Original Circular.

Following analysis of expressions of interest, and as announced on 25 January 2021 (including the outline terms of the proposed transaction agreed at that time), Playtech entered into a period of exclusivity regarding the possible sale of Finalto to the Consortium.

As noted above, a binding agreement with the Consortium in respect of the Disposal was entered into on 26 May 2021 and in the Original Circular the Board unanimously concluded that the agreement reached with the Consortium should be recommended to Shareholders and that Shareholders should vote in favour of the Disposal at the General Meeting which was to be held on 15 July 2021.

As well as for Shareholders, the Board stated in the Original Circular that it believed that the Disposal represented a good outcome for all other stakeholders, including providing certainty for Finalto colleagues, customers and trading counterparties after an extensive process. The Disposal would also allow the Company's senior management to focus on the opportunities available to the Playtech Group in its core business.

As noted above, subsequent to the publication of the Original Circular and as announced on 2 July 2021, the Company received on 29 June 2021 the Gopher Proposal.

The Board recognises that the Gopher Proposal values Finalto at a price higher than that in the binding agreement agreed with the Consortium, which provides for cash proceeds of up to US$210 million of which $185 million is fixed (including $15m deferred for up to 2 years) and up to $25 million is contingent, and the Gopher Proposal is expressed to have no deferred or contingent component. The Board also notes that since the Company received the Gopher Proposal, Gopher has stated publicly that it has arranged financing, that it is prepared to enter into binding documentation on terms materially equivalent to those in the Consortium Agreement, and that it is prepared to offer a conditional break fee of US$10 million payable to the Company in certain specific circumstances but, in any such case, subject to certain conditions including the Board changing its recommendation to Shareholders in respect of the Consortium Agreement in the Original Circular.
