Allwyn to build the UK National Lottery of the future with formal award of Fourth Licence - Seite 2

Everyone at Allwyn is ready to meet the challenge of working under a shortened
timeframe for transition. We look forward to working closely with Camelot's team
over the coming months to ensure the lottery is in its best ever shape when we
take the reins in February 2024. "

Sir Keith Mills, bid chair during the Fourth National Lottery Licence
Competition and now senior independent director, commented on the formal award
of the Fourth National Lottery Licence:

" The whole team at Allwyn is immensely proud to be taking on the responsibility
for growing the National Lottery over the next ten years. In our bid proposals
we set out our plans to win back customers that have stopped playing and to
bring a new generation of players to the National Lottery by introducing new
games and technology to capture the imagination of the nation. I'm really
looking forward to working with Justin, the Allwyn board and the wider
management team to manage the transition as we take over in 2024."

Allwyn's CEO, David Craven, added:

"This moment signals a time for change for the National Lottery. We have already
begun this exciting new chapter; our transformation programme has started with
energy and purpose from our Watford based headquarters. We must seize this
moment, creating the right conditions for The National Lottery to innovate. Our
primary transition objective is to responsibly boost performance leading to
increased contributions to good causes. We look forward to welcoming the
existing Camelot colleagues in Watford to be part of this new, exciting
chapter."

Beyond Allwyn's stewardship of the National Lottery, the Company is committed to
a wider societal contribution centered on three priority areas of protecting the
planet through sector-leading net zero plans, empowering people through greater
diversity and accessibility and supporting prosperous places by bringing
innovation and investment to UK high streets across the country.

Transition plans are already in motion, and Allwyn is committed to seamless
transition from the Third to Fourth Licence, working constructively with
Camelot. The Company has assembled a world-class team, led by CEO David Craven,
enhanced by secondees from across Allwyn Entertainment's other national lottery
businesses.

Allwyn's highly capable and experienced UK team continues to grow and is
underpinned by the operating excellence of its global parent company - a leading
global lottery operator - whose trusted brands and industry-leading technology
are the backbone of thriving lottery operations in Italy, Austria, Greece,
Cyprus and the Czech Republic.
