Treasury Share Position and Voting Rights Denominator After the November Purchase

The company confirms that 265,445,021 ordinary shares remain in issue, excluding treasury shares, and this figure constitutes the total voting rights in the company.

The company intends to retain the newly acquired shares in treasury rather than cancelling them immediately.

Slingo IP, Lucky Lunar Studio and Multi-Market Licensing Drive Gaming Realms' Business Model

Gaming Realms develops and licenses mobile-first games across the UK, US, Canada and Malta, deriving revenue primarily through its proprietary Slingo™ intellectual property alongside bingo, slots and other formats distributed via a data platform designed to build and monetise global audiences. In 2026, the company launched Lucky Lunar, a new studio focused on slot titles that blend conventional casino mechanics with Slingo™ features, broadening its content offering. The buyback activity signals that management, led by Executive Chairman Michael Buckley and CEO Mark Segal, views the current valuation as an appropriate level at which to return capital through market purchases.
