Sportech Tote & Digital Acquisition Update

The Board of BetMakers is pleased to update the market that the proposed acquisition of Sportech's tote and digital assets is on track to complete during next financial quarter.

As previously announced to the market, the proposed acquisition of Sportech's tote and digital business is expected to add substantial revenues and EBITDA to BetMakers' consolidated business. On a pro-forma basis for FY20, the Tote and Digital Business combined with BetMakers' existing operations would have delivered A$56.1 million revenue and A$7.7 million EBITDA.

The Company is especially pleased with its targeted expansion in the United States and believes the acquisition of Sportech's tote and digital assets will deliver transformational growth for BetMakers in this key jurisdiction.

Once completed, the deal will give access to 36 States across the U.S with more than 100 customers across race tracks and casinos, positioning the Company's growth in the region.

U.S. Fixed Odds Update

As previously announced to the market, the New Jersey Bill which "authorizes fixed odds wagering on horse races through fixed odds wagering system" has been introduced to the New Jersey Legislature.

The Bill is expected to progress during the first half of CY21. If and when the Bill becomes law, BetMakers' exclusive agreement with the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen Association and Darby Development LLC. (the operator of Monmouth Park race track) to manage Fixed Odds betting on horse racing within New Jersey will commence.

The Company has set a deliberate path to actively support Fixed Odds betting on horse racing in the U.S. and continues to work with legislators, regulators and racing authorities in New Jersey and other States to establish both a legal framework and a model intended to support racing industries and commercial partners.

The Company believes it is strongly placed to execute on these opportunities and looks forward to updating the market on developments regarding Fixed Odds wagering throughout the U.S.
