The company has confirmed that the figure of 265,817,399 ordinary shares in issue, excluding treasury shares, represents the total voting rights and should be used by shareholders as the denominator when calculating whether they are required to disclose interests under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Gaming Realms' Slingo™ IP, Lucky Lunar Studio and Multi-Market Licensing Operations

Gaming Realms creates and licenses proprietary mobile games across the UK, US, Canada and Malta, with Slingo™ representing its flagship intellectual property. The company operates a proprietary data platform to build and engage global audiences across Slingo™, bingo, slots and other formats. In 2026, Gaming Realms launched Lucky Lunar, a new studio focused on innovative slot titles blending familiar casino mechanics with Slingo™ features. The licensing model and expanding studio output represent the core commercial drivers that investors are likely to monitor alongside capital allocation decisions such as this buyback programme.

Buyback Programme Context and Shareholder Considerations for GMR

Share buyback programmes are typically used by companies to return capital to shareholders and can signal management confidence in the business. Gaming Realms has stated its intention to hold the purchased shares in treasury rather than cancel them immediately, preserving flexibility for future use such as employee share schemes or other corporate purposes. The total cost of the 10 November tranche was not separately disclosed as a lump sum in the announcement, though the per-share price and volume are confirmed. Shareholders and market participants may continue to watch for further purchase disclosures as the programme progresses.
