4.                                      Summary of Material Change

On October 2, 2019, the Company and Flutter Entertainment plc (“Flutter”) announced they had entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) providing for an all-share combination to be implemented through an acquisition of The Stars Group by Flutter pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Combination”).

5.                                      Full Description of Material Change

On October 2, 2019, the Company and Flutter announced they had entered into the Arrangement Agreement providing for an all-share combination to be implemented through an acquisition of The Stars Group by Flutter pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).

The Combination will bring together the businesses of the Company and Flutter (the “Combined Group”). Under the terms of the Combination, shareholders of the Company (“TSG Shareholders”) will be entitled to receive 0.2253 ordinary shares of the Combined Group (the “Consideration”) in exchange for each common share of the Company (“TSG Shares”). Immediately following completion of the Combination, shareholders of Flutter (“Flutter Shareholders”) would own approximately 54.64 percent and TSG Shareholders would own approximately 45.36 percent of the share capital of the Combined Group (based on the fully diluted share capital of Flutter and the fully diluted share capital of The Stars Group excluding any out of the money options, in each case, as at October 2, 2019).

In addition, the existing stock options and share unit awards of TSG will be exchanged or adjusted in accordance with the 0.2253 exchange ratio and other terms set out in the Arrangement Agreement.

The Combined Group will be incorporated, headquartered and domiciled in Dublin, Ireland with a premium listing on the London Stock Exchange and a secondary listing on Euronext Dublin. It is expected that the Company’s current listings on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ National Market will terminate upon completion of the Combination and the Combined Group will

cease to be a reporting issuer in Canada. Flutter is expected to become a reporting issuer in Canada upon completion of the Combination.

Flutter has entered into arrangements, conditional on completion of the Combination, with FOX Sports (TSG’s US media partner for FOX Bet), Fastball Holdings LLC (“Fastball”) and Boyd Interactive Gaming LLC (“Boyd”) (together Flutter’s co-shareholders in FanDuel Group). FOX Sports will have the right to acquire an equity interest of approximately 18.5 percent in FanDuel Group at its market value in 2021 (structured as a 10-year option from 2021, subject to a carrying value adjustment). Fastball and Boyd will receive a total payment of 12.5 percent of the increase in FOX Bet’s market value between completion of the Combination and the exercise of Flutter’s option to acquire Fastball’s remaining equity interest in FanDuel Group in July 2023 (also subject to a carrying value adjustment). In addition, there is a commitment by all parties to discuss options for further alignment prior to completion of the Combination. In return, each of FOX Sports, Fastball and Boyd have waived the exclusivity provisions that form part of the existing contractual arrangements in relation to the relevant US subsidiaries of The Stars Group and Flutter.

Completion of the Combination is expected to occur during the second or third quarter of 2020.

Fairness Opinions and Board Recommendations

Each of Moelis & Company LLC, Barclays Capital Canada Inc. and BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. has provided the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) with an opinion (the “Fairness Opinions”) to the effect that, as of October 1, 2019, the Consideration to be received by TSG Shareholders under the Combination is fair, from a financial point of view to such holders, in each case subject to the respective limitations, qualifications, assumptions and other matters set forth in such opinions.

The Board, after considering, among other things, the recommendation of the transaction committee of the Board, the Fairness Opinions and after consultation with its legal and financial advisors, unanimously determined that the Consideration to be received by the TSG Shareholders pursuant to the Combination is fair to such holders, that the Combination is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously approved the Combination.

The Arrangement Agreement includes customary provisions relating to non-solicitation, subject to customary “fiduciary out” provisions, that entitle each party to consider and accept a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) prior to the receipt of required approvals of the Combination by TSG Shareholders and Flutter Shareholders (and provided the party considering or accepting such Superior Proposal is not in material breach of the non-solicitation provisions of the Arrangement Agreement) if the other party does not match the Superior Proposal.

board of directors changes its recommendation that the Flutter Shareholders approve the Combination or (iv) Flutter enters into a Superior Proposal in compliance with the Arrangement Agreement.

10

The Combined Group will be a strong voice in the promotion of responsible gaming worldwide and will lead industry standards on the protection of customers, whilst building sustainable relationships with them.”

Commenting on today’s announcement, Divyesh (Dave) Gadhia, Executive Chairman of TSG said:

“The Board of TSG and I are delighted to recommend this exciting combination of TSG and Flutter, which we believe will create significant value for TSG’s shareholders.

Over the past four years our team, led by Rafi, has been working relentlessly and passionately to stabilise, grow and establish TSG as one of the clear leaders in our industry. We seized new opportunities in poker, significantly grew our casino business, acquired one of the UK’s most notable sportsbook brands in Sky Bet, built a significant presence in Australia through BetEasy, and teamed up with FOX Sports to launch FOX Bet to position ourselves to become a leader in the U.S.

We have long had respect for Flutter, and believe the combination is a natural next step in the evolution of the business, creating a leader in online betting and gaming with trusted brands, diversified revenues, stand-out technology and the best operational and managerial talent in the industry.

With TSG appointing a significant portion of the new Board, we look forward to working together with Gary, Peter and the Flutter team to continue and contribute to the success of our combined business.”

Commenting on today’s announcement, Peter Jackson, CEO of Flutter said:

“The combination represents a great opportunity to deliver a step change in our presence in international markets and ensure we are ideally positioned to take advantage of the exciting opportunity in the US through a media relationship with FOX Sports as well as our development of US sports betting through Flutter’s FanDuel and TSG’s FOX Bet brands. We are committed to these two high quality brands to drive the growth of the Combined Group in the US.

The combination will turbocharge our existing four-pillar strategy and provide world-class capabilities across sports betting, gaming, daily fantasy sports and poker, as well as greater geographical and product diversification.

We believe the combination of Flutter and TSG will deliver substantial value for shareholders. We will have an exceptional portfolio of leading recreational brands and best-in-class products on industry-leading technology platforms.”

Commenting on today’s announcement, Rafi Ashkenazi, CEO of TSG said:

“This exciting combination will allow us to enhance and accelerate our existing strategy. In recent years, we have transformed TSG from a single product operator in poker, to a diverse global leader with multiple product offerings across poker, gaming and sports betting. The combination with Flutter will further enhance our company’s core strengths, and position us strongly for the future in this rapidly evolving industry. I’m delighted to be joining the Board of the Combined Group and to serve as its COO.”

Commenting on today’s announcement, Lachlan Murdoch, Executive Chairman and CEO of Fox Corporation said:

“Our FOX Bet partnership is off to a great start, and teaming up with Flutter and FanDuel will allow us to build on that strength and jointly capture the significant market potential ahead of us. We’re excited to be able to expand our partnership into FanDuel, which together with FOX Bet, will be a leader in sports wagering in the US.”

Commenting on today’s announcement, Richard Flint, said:

“I have a lot of admiration for what Rafi and Dave have achieved in first stabilising, and then building one of the most successful gaming companies in the world through the acquisition of great businesses in both the UK and Australia.

In addition, the growth of TSG’s online casino operations points to the success TSG has had in cross-selling casino product to its traditional poker customer base.

I am excited about the prospect of joining the Board of the Combined Group as a Non-Executive Director following completion of the transaction and believe that the combination of TSG and Flutter will create a compelling proposition in global sports betting and gaming.”

Recommended all-share combination of

Flutter Entertainment plc and The Stars Group Inc.

Creating a Global Leader in Sports Betting and Gaming

1.                  Introduction

DUBLIN and TORONTO — 2 October 2019 - The Boards of Flutter Entertainment plc (“Flutter”) (LSE: FLTR) and The Stars Group Inc. (“TSG”) (Nasdaq: TSG) (TSX: TSGI) are pleased to announce that they have reached agreement on the terms of a recommended all-share combination to be implemented through an acquisition of TSG by Flutter pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Combination”).

2.                  The Combination

Under the terms of the Combination, TSG Shareholders will be entitled to receive:

0.2253 New Flutter Shares in exchange for each TSG Share

Immediately following completion of the Combination, Flutter Shareholders would own approximately 54.64 per cent. and TSG Shareholders would own approximately 45.36 per cent. of the share capital of the Combined Group (based on the fully diluted share capital of Flutter and the fully diluted share capital of TSG excluding any out of the money options, in each case, as at the date of this Announcement).

Flutter Shareholders will be entitled to receive a 2019 Final Dividend of 133 pence per Flutter Share. In addition, Flutter Shareholders will be entitled to a Pro-Rated Dividend, reflecting a time pro-rated amount of the total annual dividend for the financial year ending 31 December 2020, to which Flutter Shareholders would otherwise be entitled.

The Combined Group will be incorporated, headquartered and domiciled in Dublin, Ireland with a premium listing on the London Stock Exchange and a secondary listing on Euronext Dublin.

Following completion of the Combination, New Flutter Shares will be issued as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Flutter Shares then in issue, including in respect of the right to receive and retain in full all dividends and other distributions (if any) announced, declared, made or paid or any other return of capital (whether by reduction of share capital or share premium account or otherwise) made, in each case, by reference to a record date falling on or after completion.

The Combination is classified as a Class 1 transaction under the UK Listing Rules of the FCA. Application will be made to the FCA, the London Stock Exchange and the Euronext Dublin for the New Flutter Shares to be admitted to: (i) listing on the premium listing segment of the Official List of the FCA and to a secondary listing on the Official List of Euronext Dublin; and (ii) trading on the London Stock Exchange’s main market for listed securities and the Euronext Dublin Market.

3.                  Background

Flutter and TSG believe that the global online gambling sector continues to exhibit many characteristics that are structurally attractive. For example, in a total gambling market worth an estimated $450 billion in gross revenues in 2018, approximately 11 per cent. was online with online having grown at approximately 11 per cent. compound annual growth rate between 2013 and 2018(3). Flutter and TSG are confident that there remains a long runway of growth left for online and mobile gambling. Migration from retail to online / mobile gambling remains a key driver of growth with each one percentage point move from offline to online spend generating an additional $4 billion in extra online revenue.

In addition, favourable regulatory progress is leading to the opening of new online markets, with the most exciting example being the recent expansion of the US sports betting sector. Flutter and TSG believe that having a combination of proven, developed technology platforms, world-class brands and complementary product offerings will be key to taking advantage of these growth opportunities.

While the industry remains attractive from a structural growth perspective, it has been, and will continue to be, subject to evolving regulatory and tax changes that can adversely impact the economics for online operators. Recent changes have included online gaming tax increases in the UK, Australia and Ireland, as well as changes to the regulation of fixed odds betting terminals in the UK. These changes, in what are already some of the most highly competitive online gambling markets in the world, have emphasised the importance of having more diversified and sustainable revenue streams.

4.                  Reasons for the Combination

Flutter and TSG believe that the Combination will:

·                      Accelerate delivery of Flutter’s four pillar strategy, particularly as it relates to international growth and presence

·                      Help the Combined Group to maximise profitable growth in its core markets of the UK, Ireland and Australia

·                      Ideally position the Combined Group to pursue the US opportunity through a leading combination of brands, media reach and product offering

·                      Create a highly diversified business, both from a geographic and product perspective

·                      Create significant value through the delivery of material synergies

Flutter and TSG believe that following the Combination, the Combined Group will be better positioned to continue investing in its products and to enhance its customer offering while driving efficiencies across its cost base. The Combination will improve the operating efficiency of the business and lead to the sharing of best practice across both businesses. It will support continued investment in technology, product innovation, data analytics, brands and responsible gambling. Together, Flutter and TSG, expect this to result in enhanced returns on investment.

In addition, Flutter and TSG believe that the Combination can be a strong, leading voice in the promotion of responsible gambling protections globally. Both are leading advocates of creating a culture of responsible gambling, by, amongst other things, building long-term sustainable relationships with their customers and utilising technology to protect their customers, especially those at risk from potential harm. The Combined Group will be well placed to improve and lead industry standards for player protection by continuing to work collaboratively with regulators, while maintaining best-in-class responsible gambling product offerings.

5.                  Shape of the combined business

The Combined Group will serve customers in over 100 countries globally. On a proforma(5) basis, based on 2018 reported financials, the Combined Group would have generated approximately 49 per cent. of its revenues in the UK and Ireland, 15 per cent. in Australia, 5 per cent. in the United States and 31 per cent. in other countries. In addition, regulated markets would have accounted for approximately 82 per cent. of combined revenue, with no single unregulated market accounting for more than 3 per cent. (6)

In 2018, proforma online revenues for the Combined Group would have been in excess of £3.8 billion. The Combination will also result in a balanced product portfolio, with the Combined Group having generated

(5)  For purposes of this Announcement, “proforma” and “combined” means as if the completion occurred as of the first day of the applicable financial or calendar year. With respect to TSG and fiscal and calendar 2018, this reflects the consolidated financial results of TSG, SBG and BetEasy as if TSG had owned SBG and BetEasy since 1 January 2018 (but excluding William Hill Australia before it was acquired in April 2018).

(6)  Regulated revenue based on proforma H1 2019 revenues of Flutter and TSG. Includes revenues generated from regulated or locally taxed jurisdictions for TSG (excluding Germany) and regulated markets for Flutter.

15

approximately 45 per cent. of proforma 2018 revenue in online sports betting, 22 per cent. in online gaming, 18 per cent. in online poker and 15 per cent. from other products and services (including retail).

As such, the product and geographical diversity that the Combination provides will position the Combined Group to better manage further tax and regulatory change facing the sector.

6.                  An acceleration in the delivery of the Flutter four pillar growth strategy

Pillar 1 - To maximise profitable growth in core markets

Flutter expects the Combination to enhance the customer proposition and profitability through cost synergies in Flutter’s core markets of UK, Ireland and Australia.

The combined offering of Sky Bet, Paddy Power and Betfair in the UK and Ireland, and of Sportsbet and BetEasy in Australia should provide the Combined Group with access to trusted brands with a sustainable base of highly recreational customers. In addition, the Combined Group should also be able to benefit from “best practice” sharing, leading content innovation and the symbiotic relationship that Sky Bet has with Sky.

The Combined Group is also expected to benefit from significant cost synergies in its core markets from the integration of operations and enhanced returns on technology and marketing investment.

Pillar 2 - To grow in the rest of the world

The Combination will facilitate a step-change in the international growth prospects of the Combined Group.

TSG’s International segment currently has an annual Active Customer base of approximately 4 million and would increase Flutter’s revenues from international markets six-fold(7).  Flutter believes that the Combined Group would be very well positioned to offer its high-quality sports betting offerings to that customer base. Flutter customers should benefit from having access to an improved casino and poker offering. TSG has achieved growth in casino in recent years through a cross-selling strategy to its poker customer base. Over 30 per cent. of TSG’s Active Customer base in select international markets are now multi-product customers. The Combined Group expects that such cross-sell initiatives can be further extended to sports betting, in turn driving revenue growth in international markets.

TSG’s poker business shares a number of characteristics with Flutter’s Betfair Exchange business, including best-in-class liquidity, a highly regarded customer proposition, product investment and integrity to create a winning ecosystem.  TSG’s poker business is highly profitable and cash generative, delivering strong margins and free cash flow conversion.

Pillar 3 - Attain podium positions in additional regulated markets

The Combination will bring the number of online markets where Flutter enjoys a podium position to eight: UK, Ireland, Australia, US, Georgia, Spain, Italy and Germany, with the final three positions being attained as a result of the Combination. In addition, TSG’s strong presence in a long list of other markets will enable the Combined Group to accelerate its international growth. This will be aided by TSG’s platform capabilities expanding Flutter’s current offering of languages (to approximately 30), currencies (to more than 25) and payment options (to more than 55).

Flutter therefore expects the Combination to improve the diversification of the Combined Group and overall growth profile of the business outside of its current core markets.

(7)  Proforma 2018 revenue from markets outside of the UK, Ireland, Australia and the US as if Flutter had owned TSG since 1 January 2018, represented as a multiple of Flutter’s 2018 revenue from markets outside of the UK, Ireland and Australia.

(8) Non-IFRS Measure. See Important Notice and Appendix below.

16

Pillar 4 - Pursue US opportunity rigorously

In the United States, the Combined Group will benefit from excellent brand recognition and marketing assets through the combined offering of FanDuel, FOX Bet, TVG and PokerStars.

The Combination brings together a leading online sports betting operator in the United States (FanDuel) with a high profile national media partner in FOX. The Combined Group will benefit from a leading product ecosystem across free-to-play, daily fantasy sports, sports betting, horse racing, poker and casino to drive lower customer cost per acquisition and higher customer life time value.

The Combined Group’s position will be underpinned by market access in up to 24 states, an established horse racing footprint in 33 states and access to daily fantasy sports in over 40 states. It is also expected to benefit from best-in-class distribution across the United States through over 100 million FOX Sports viewers, a FanDuel customer database in excess of 8 million and two wagering focused TV channels available in 45 million homes across the United States.

Flutter and TSG expect that the Combined Group will deploy a dual brand strategy from a single platform to maximise the addressable market opportunity across a broader spectrum of customers whilst benefiting from significant operating leverage.

In order to achieve economic alignment of Flutter’s and TSG’s strategic third party relationships across their respective US businesses, Flutter has entered into arrangements, conditional on completion of the Combination, with FOX (TSG’s US media partner for FOX Bet), Fastball and Boyd (together Flutter’s co-shareholders in FanDuel Group):

·                      FOX to have the right to acquire an approximate 18.5 per cent. equity interest in FanDuel Group at its market value in 2021 (structured as a 10-year option from 2021, subject to a carrying value adjustment)

·                      Fastball and Boyd will receive a total payment of 12.5 per cent. of the increase in FOX Bet’s market value between completion of the Combination and the exercise of Flutter’s option to acquire Fastball’s remaining equity interest in FanDuel Group in July 2023 (also subject to a carrying value adjustment)

·                      Commitment by all parties to discuss options for further alignment prior to completion of the Combination

In return, each of FOX, Fastball and Boyd have waived the exclusivity provisions that form part of the existing contractual arrangements in relation to the US subsidiaries of TSG and Flutter.

Deliver significant value for shareholders

Material cost synergies

Flutter and TSG have significant experience in delivering shareholder value from acquiring and successfully integrating large-scale businesses. The Boards of Flutter and TSG expect material cost synergies to result from the Combination which underpins the strategic rationale for the transaction and the significant value creation opportunity for shareholders. The complementary nature of the businesses and ability to leverage an enhanced global customer offering for the Combined Group are key drivers of the identified synergies.

Flutter and TSG expect that the Combination will generate material pre-tax cost synergies of approximately £140 million per annum, with target run-rate phasing of £25 million, £115 million, and £140 million in the three 12-month periods following completion. These synergies are separate from and in addition to TSG’s previously announced synergies of $100 million recurring per annum resulting from the acquisition of SBG in July 2018 which it continues to expect to achieve in fiscal year 2020.  The anticipated synergies are expected to be achieved primarily by removing duplication in corporate functions, procurement efficiencies, API based integration of technology functions, and marketing economies of scale.

In achieving these synergies, the Combined Group expects to incur aggregate cash implementation costs of approximately £180 million. These will be incurred in the first two years following completion.

In addition, the Combined Group is expected to realise revenue cross-sell in international markets and financing synergies through the refinancing of TSG’s existing debt given the expected financial and credit profile of the Combined Group.

17

Flutter and TSG also have a strong understanding of each other’s respective businesses which has been supplemented by a comprehensive mutual due diligence exercise prior to announcement of the Combination. A key focus for the management of the Combined Group will be minimising disruption during the integration process, maintaining momentum in the existing businesses and progress on delivery in the US.

Strong expected return on invested capital and Underlying Earnings Per Share(8) accretion

Flutter expects the Combination to be value accretive and deliver a post-tax return on invested capital which exceeds Flutter’s cost of capital by the end of the third full financial year following completion. The Combination is also expected to be at least 50 per cent. accretive to Flutter’s Underlying Earnings Per Share in the first full financial year following completion. Flutter is confident that the returns from the Combination would continue to be attractive for Flutter Shareholders in the event of further regulatory headwinds in certain countries in which TSG serves customers.

Deliver a robust financial profile with strategic flexibility and sustainable shareholder returns

The Boards of Flutter and TSG have considered the future capital management policy for the Combined Group and expect that at completion the leverage of the Combined Group will be approximately 3.5x Net Debt to Underlying EBITDA excluding synergies(8). The Combined Group would have delivered combined 2018 Underlying EBITDA Margin of approximately 30 per cent. which, supplemented with synergies, supports high cash generation for the Combined Group.  The strong cash generation profile of the Combined Group is expected to result in rapid deleveraging, with the Combined Group maintaining Flutter’s existing target Net Debt to Underlying EBITDA ratio of 1.0x to 2.0x over the medium term.

7.                  Governance and management

Upon completion, it is intended that the Combined Group’s Board will comprise:

·                      A 14-person Board drawing on expertise and experience of Flutter and TSG

·                      Gary McGann, currently Chair of Flutter, will assume the role of Chair of the Combined Group

·                      Divyesh (Dave) Gadhia, currently Executive Chairman of TSG, will assume the role of Deputy Chair of the Combined Group

·                      Peter Jackson, currently CEO of Flutter, will assume the role of CEO of the Combined Group

·                      Jonathan Hill, currently CFO of Flutter, will assume the role of CFO of the Combined Group

·                      Rafi Ashkenazi, currently CEO of TSG, will assume the role of COO of the Combined Group

·                      In addition, nine non-executive directors comprising five nominated by Flutter, three nominated by TSG and the appointment of Richard Flint, former CEO of SBG

As separately announced today, Andrew Higginson is joining the Board of Flutter as a non-executive director with immediate effect.

Both Flutter and TSG are built on the strength of their people which are the single most important assets to each business. The Combined Group will draw on the array of talent and experience in both companies to lead the business.

8.                  Dividend policy for the Combined Group

Flutter Shareholders will be entitled to receive a 2019 Final Dividend of 133 pence per Flutter Share. In addition, Flutter Shareholders will be entitled to a Pro-Rated Dividend, reflecting a time pro-rated amount of the total annual dividend for the financial year ended 31 December 2020, to which Flutter Shareholders would otherwise be entitled.

It is the intention of the Combined Group to maintain its dividend per share at 200p until such time as the Combined Group’s Net Debt to Underlying EBITDA ratio falls below 2.0x.

(8)  Non-IFRS Measure. See Important Notice and Appendix below.

18

9.                  Shareholder support

The Directors of TSG have entered into voting support agreements under which they have agreed, subject to certain termination rights, to vote the TSG Shares held by them in favour of the Combination in the relevant resolutions at the TSG shareholder meeting in respect of their own beneficial holdings totalling approximately 0.09 per cent. of existing issued common  shares of TSG. Flutter has also entered into a voting support agreement with Caledonia (Private) Investments Pty Limited and ValueAct Holdings LLP under which they have each agreed, subject to certain termination rights, to vote all of the TSG Shares held by them in favour of the Combination in the relevant resolutions at the TSG shareholder meeting, representing in total approximately 23.70 per cent of the existing issued common shares of TSG.

The Directors of Flutter have entered into irrevocable commitments to vote in favour of the Combination in the relevant resolutions at the Flutter shareholder meeting in respect of their own beneficial holdings totalling 20,552 Flutter Shares representing approximately 0.03 per cent. of existing issued ordinary share capital of Flutter.

10.           Conditionality

The Combination is conditional upon, amongst other things:

·                      Approval of the Combination by Flutter Shareholders (by ordinary resolution) as a Class 1 transaction under the UK Listing Rules of the FCA at a general meeting of Flutter

·                      The FCA, the London Stock Exchange and Euronext Dublin agreeing to admit Flutter’s enlarged ordinary share capital to (i) listing on the premium listing segment of the Official List of the FCA and to a secondary listing on the Official List of Euronext Dublin; and (ii) trading on the London Stock Exchange’s main market for listed securities and the Euronext Dublin Market

·                      Approval of the Combination by at least 66 2/3 per cent. of TSG Shareholders voting at a special meeting of TSG Shareholders and Ontario court approval of the plan of arrangement

The approval of Flutter and TSG Shareholders is expected to be sought in the second quarter of 2020. Completion is expected to occur during the second or third quarter of 2020.

The arrangements with Fastball in relation to FOX Bet constitute a smaller related party transaction under LR 11.1.10 R.

Barclays, Moelis and BMO Capital Markets have each provided an opinion to TSG’s Board that, as of the date thereof and subject to the assumptions, limitations, and qualifications set out therein, the consideration to be received by TSG Shareholders pursuant to the Combination, is fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.

Specific risks and uncertainties relating to the Combination include, but are not limited to: (i) the completion of the Combination may not occur on the anticipated terms and timing or at all, (ii) the required regulatory approvals are not obtained, or that in order to obtain such regulatory approvals, conditions are imposed that adversely affect the anticipated benefits from the Combination or cause the parties to abandon the same, (iii) the risk that a condition to closing of the Combination may not be satisfied, (iv) potential litigation relating to the Combination that could be instituted against the parties or their respective directors, (vi) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the Combination, (vii) risks associated with third party contracts containing consent and/or other provisions that may be triggered by the Combination, (viii) negative effects of the announcement or the consummation of the Combination on the market price of the Flutter or TSG Shares, (ix) risks relating to the value of the Flutter Shares to be issued in the Combination and uncertainty as to the long-term value of Flutter’s Shares, (x) the potential impact of unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, efficiencies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition and losses on the future prospects, business and management strategies for the management, expansion and growth of the Combined Group operations after the consummation of the Combination and on the other conditions to the completion of the same, (xi) the risks and costs associated with, and the ability of Flutter to, integrate the businesses successfully and to achieve anticipated synergies and efficiencies, (xii) the risk that disruptions from the Combination will harm the parties’ businesses, including current plans and operations, (xiii) the ability of the parties to retain and hire key personnel, (xiv) adverse legal and regulatory developments or determinations or adverse changes in, or interpretations of, applicable laws, rules or regulations, including tax laws, rules and regulations, that could delay or prevent completion of the Combination or cause the terms of the Combination to be modified, (xv) the impact of the heavily regulated industry in which the parties operate and carry on business, (xvi) risks related to tax matters, and (xvii) management’s response to any of the aforementioned factors. Other applicable risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those identified in this Announcement and in Flutter’s and TSG’s most recently filed or published annual, semi-annual and/or quarterly reports and filings, as applicable, including without limitation, TSG’s most recently filed annual information form and management’s discussion and analysis, which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, EDGAR at www.sec.gov and TSG’s website at www.starsgroup.com, and in other filings that Flutter and/or TSG have made and may make with applicable securities authorities or on their websites in the future. Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information. Any forward-looking statement or information speaks only as of the date hereof, and neither Flutter nor TSG undertake any obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Completion of the Combination is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions as more fully described in this Announcement. Consequently there can be no certainty that completion of the Combination will be forthcoming.

22

This Announcement is not a prospectus and has been prepared solely for the Combination referred to in this Announcement. A circular and a prospectus will be published by Flutter and circular will be issued and filed on SEDAR by TSG in connection with the Combination in due course.

Certain figures contained in this Announcement, including financial information, have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, in certain instances, the sum or percentage change of the numbers contained in this Announcement may not conform exactly with the total figure given. Except as explicitly stated in this Announcement, none of the contents of Flutter’s, the TSG Shareholders’ or TSG’s websites, nor any website accessible by hyperlinks on Flutter’s, the TSG Shareholders’ or Flutter’s websites, is incorporated in, or forms part of, this Announcement.

This Announcement references Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA, Net Debt, Underlying Earnings Per Share and Underlying EBITDA, which are Non-IFRS Measures. Flutter and TSG believe these non-IFRS financial measures will provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial and operational performance of their businesses and the Combined Group, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by relevant management in operating its business, identifying and evaluating trends, and making decisions. Although Flutter and TSG management believe these financial measures are important in evaluating their businesses and the Combined Group, they are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. They are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. These measures may be different from non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. Moreover, presentation of these measures may be provided for year-over-year comparison purposes, and investors should be cautioned that the effect of the adjustments thereto provided herein have an actual effect on the operating results of Flutter, TSG and/or the Combined Group.

See TSG’s management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended 31 December 2018 and the related Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018 Earnings Presentation, dated March 6, 2019, each of which is available on its website, www.starsgroup.com, for applicable reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to TSG’s net earnings, the nearest IFRS measure.

Statements regarding earnings enhancement is not intended to be a profit forecast and should not be interpreted to mean that the earnings per Flutter or TSG Share, or of the Combined Group, for the current or future financial periods will necessarily be greater than those for the relevant preceding financial period.

Reconciliations with respect to forward-looking Non-IFRS Measures to the nearest IFRS measures have not been provided because certain reconciling or adjusting items and costs cannot be projected or predicted with reasonable certainty without unreasonable effort due to a number of factors, including variability from potential foreign exchange fluctuations impacting financial expenses, the nature and timing of other non-recurring or one-time costs (such as impairment of intangibles assets and certain professional fees), which could vary materially based on actual events or transactions or unknown or unpredictable variables, as well as the typical variability arising from the preparation and completion of annual financial statements, including, without limitation, certain income tax provision accounting, annual impairment testing and other accounting matters. Other adjusting items and costs (such as stock-based compensation, acquisition and integration-related costs, operational efficiency-related costs and other strategy-related expenses) may otherwise reveal commercially or competitively sensitive information.

(a)                                 The Stars Board or an appropriate committee thereof shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions (including obtaining any required consents and making any required amendments to the Stars Employee Share Plans) as may be required to effect and/or procure the following:

27

(i)                                     each Stars Option that as of the Effective Time is outstanding will cease to represent an option or other right to acquire Stars Shares and shall be exchanged at the Effective Time for an option to purchase from Flutter the number of Flutter Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to: (A) 0.2253, multiplied by (B) the number of Stars Shares subject to such Stars Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, at an exercise price per Flutter Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (Y) the exercise price per Stars Share otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Stars Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (Z) 0.2253. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(c), all other terms and conditions of such option, including the term to expiry and conditions to and manner of exercising, will be the same as the Stars Option so exchanged, and shall be governed by the terms of the Stars Option Plan or the Stars Equity Plan, as applicable, and any document evidencing a Stars Option shall thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence such exchanged option; and

(ii)                                  (A) to cause the terms of all unvested Stars PSUs, effective prior to the Effective Time, to be amended on the following basis: (i), subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(e), the Stars PSUs 2018 Performance Goals (as defined in the Stars Equity Plan) shall be deemed satisfied based on 150% of the “target” number of Stars PSUs obtainable under each Stars PSUs 2018 Award Agreement (as defined in the Stars Equity Plan); and (ii) the Stars PSUs 2019 Performance Goals (as defined in the Stars Equity Plan) shall be deemed satisfied based on 100% of the “target” number of Stars PSUs obtainable under each Stars 2019 Awards Agreement (as defined in the Stars Equity Plan) and the balance of such number of Stars PSUs under each Stars PSUs 2019 shall be forfeited, provided that, in each case, such Stars PSUs shall become subject to further vesting (if any) in accordance with their terms, as if they had in respect of time-based vesting been originally issued as Stars RSUs; and (B) each Stars Equity Award that as of the Effective Time is outstanding shall be continued on the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the Effective Time except that the terms of such Stars Equity Awards shall be amended so as to substitute for the Stars Shares subject to such Stars Equity Awards, Flutter Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to: (x) 0.2253, multiplied by (y) the number of Stars Shares subject to such Stars Equity Award immediately prior to the Effective Time but subject to any adjustment required to that award by the Stars Equity Plan or grant documentation as a result of this Agreement or the Arrangement. For greater certainty, all other terms and conditions of such award, including the term to expiry and conditions to and manner of exercising, will be the same as the Stars Equity Award and shall be governed by the terms of the Stars Equity Plan and any document evidencing a Stars Equity Award shall thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence such an amended award.

(b)                                 Flutter shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of Flutter Shares for delivery with respect to Stars Options and Stars Equity Awards assumed by it in accordance with Section 2.10(a) and, as of the Effective Time, Flutter will assume the Stars Employee Share Plans.

28

(c)                                  As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Flutter will take such steps as are necessary to provide all holders of exchanged securities issued pursuant to Section 2.10(a) with replacement grant documentation to evidence such exchanged securities and the terms and conditions thereof. Such terms and conditions in respect of any Stars Options shall provide that such Stars Options so exchanged shall be exercisable until the original expiry date of such Stars Options notwithstanding the employment status of the holder thereof with Stars or any Subsidiary, unless such director, officer or employee has resigned without good reason or is terminated for cause following the Effective Time.

(d)                                 All Stars Shares that are subject to the Stars Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall be subject to the Plan of Arrangement and the holders thereof shall be entitled to receive the Consideration in respect of such Stars Shares at the same time and on the same conditions as the holders of the Stars Shares pursuant to the Arrangement. Stars will take all actions (including obtaining any necessary determinations and/or resolutions of the Board or a committee thereof and, if appropriate, amending the terms of the Stars Employee Stock Purchase Plan) that may be necessary or required under the Stars Employee Stock Purchase Plan to ensure that subject to the Arrangement becoming effective, the Stars Employee Stock Purchase Plan will terminate in its entirety at or prior to the Effective Time.

(e)                                  Stars and Flutter acknowledge and agree that the Stars PSUs 2017 and any Stars PSUs 2018 with Performance Goals (as defined in the Stars Equity Plan) measured at the period ending December 31, 2019 shall be treated as determined after December 31, 2019 in accordance with the terms of the Stars Equity Plan.

Stars agrees to amend the Plan of Arrangement at any time prior to the Effective Time in accordance with Section 7.4 of this Agreement to include such other terms determined to be necessary or desirable by Flutter, acting reasonably, provided that the Plan of Arrangement shall not be amended in any manner which is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, which would reasonably be expected to delay, impair or impede the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 6 or which has the effect of reducing the Consideration or which is

29

otherwise prejudicial to the Stars Shareholders or other parties to be bound by the Plan of Arrangement.

(4)                                 The closing of the Arrangement will take place via electronic document exchange at 8:00 a.m. on the Effective Date, or at such other time and place as may be agreed to by the Parties.

Section 2.12                            U.S. Securities Law Matters

The Parties agree that the Arrangement will be carried out with the intention that all Consideration to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement will be issued by Flutter in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereunder.  In order to ensure the availability of the exemption under Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act, the Parties agree that the Arrangement will be carried out on the following basis:

(a)                                 the Arrangement, including the procedural and substantive fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement, will be subject to the approval of the Court;

(b)                                 the Court will be advised as to the intention of the Parties to rely on the exemption under Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act prior to the hearing required to approve the Arrangement;

(c)                                  the Court will be required to satisfy itself as to the procedural and substantive fairness of the Arrangement to the Stars Shareholders, subject to the Arrangement;

(d)                                 Stars will ensure that each Person entitled to receive the Consideration on completion of the Arrangement will be given adequate notice advising them of their right to attend the hearing of the Court to give approval of the Arrangement and providing them with the sufficient information necessary for them to exercise that right;

(e)                                  each Person entitled to receive Consideration will be advised that the Consideration issued pursuant to the Arrangement has not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act and will be issued by Flutter in reliance on the exemption under Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act;

(f)                                   the Interim Order approving the Stars Meeting will specify that each Stars Shareholder will have the right to appear before the Court at the hearing of the Court to give approval of the Arrangement so long as they enter an appearance within a reasonable time;

(g)                                  the Court will hold a hearing before approving the procedural and substantive fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement;

(h)                                 the Final Order approving the Arrangement that is obtained from the Court will expressly state that the Arrangement is approved by the Court as being substantively and procedurally fair to the Stars Shareholders; and

(i)                                     the Final Order shall include a statement to substantially the following effect:

30

“This Order will serve as a basis of a claim to an exemption, pursuant to section 3(a)(10) of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, from the registration requirements otherwise imposed by that Act, regarding the distribution of securities of Flutter pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement.”

Section 2.13                            Payment of Consideration

Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of all of the conditions set forth in Article 6, Flutter will at the Effective Time allot and issue and irrevocably deposit with the Depositary (as such term is defined in the Plan of Arrangement) a sufficient number of Flutter Shares to satisfy the aggregate Consideration payable to the Stars Shareholders pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement in full.

Section 2.14                            No Fractional Shares

In no event shall any holder of Stars Shares be entitled to a fractional Flutter Share. Where the aggregate number of Flutter Shares to be issued to a Person as consideration under or as a result of the Arrangement would result in a fraction of a Flutter Share being issuable, the number of Flutter Shares to be received by such Stars Shareholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Flutter Share. Any such entitlements to fractions of Flutter Shares will be aggregated and sold in the market as soon as practicable after the Effective Date. The net proceeds of such sale (after deduction of all expenses and commissions incurred in connection with the sale) will be paid by (or on behalf of) Flutter in due proportions to Stars Shareholders who would otherwise have been entitled to such fractions, save that individual entitlements to amounts of less than £5.00 will be retained for the benefit of Flutter.

Section 2.15                            Announcement and Shareholder Communications

Stars and Flutter shall jointly publicly announce the transactions contemplated hereby promptly following the execution of this Agreement by Stars and Flutter, the text and timing of such announcement to be approved in writing by the Parties in advance, acting reasonably. Stars and Flutter agree to co-operate in the preparation of presentations, if any, to Stars Shareholders or Flutter Shareholders regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no Party shall (a) issue any press release or otherwise make public announcements with respect to this Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as permitted by Section 5.8, or (b) subject to Section 5.5, make any filing with any Governmental Entity with respect thereto without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that the foregoing shall be subject to each of Stars and Flutter’s overriding obligation to make any disclosure or filing required under applicable Laws or stock exchange rules, and the Party making such disclosure shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give prior oral or written notice to the other Party and reasonable opportunity to review or comment on the disclosure or filing, and if such prior notice is not possible, to give such notice as soon as is practicable following the making of such disclosure or filing. Each of Stars and Flutter shall provide, where practicable and permitted by applicable Law, prior notice to the other Party of any material public disclosure that it proposes to make regarding its business or operations, together, where practicable and permitted by applicable Law, with a draft copy of such disclosure. The relevant Party and its legal counsel shall be given, where practicable, a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such information prior to such information being disseminated publicly or filed

31

with any Governmental Entity, and reasonable consideration shall be given to any comments made by the other Party and its legal counsel.

Section 2.16                            Withholding Taxes

Flutter and Stars shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount or consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any Person hereunder and from all consideration, dividends, interest or other amounts payable or distributed to any former Stars Shareholder such amounts as Flutter or Stars may be entitled or required to deduct and withhold therefrom under any provision of any applicable Laws in respect of Taxes. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted, withheld and remitted to the relevant Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. Flutter and Stars are hereby authorized on behalf of the relevant former Stars Shareholder to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of the Consideration payable or deliverable to such former Stars Shareholders as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to Flutter or Stars, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement or entitlement and Flutter or Stars shall notify the holder thereof, remit the appropriate portion of the net proceeds of such sale to the appropriate Governmental Entity and remit to such former Stars Shareholder any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale.

Section 2.17                            List of Securityholders

At the reasonable request of the other Party from time to time, each Party shall provide the other Party (i) with a list (in both written and electronic form) of its registered shareholders, together with their addresses and respective holdings of Stars Shares or Flutter Shares, as the case may be, (ii) with a list of the names and addresses and holdings of all Persons having rights issued by such Party to acquire Stars Shares (including holders of Stars Options and Stars Equity Awards) or Flutter Shares (including holders of Flutter Options and Flutter RSUs), as the case may be, and (iii) participants and book-based nominee registrants such as CDS & Co., CEDE & Co. and DTC, and non-objecting beneficial owners of Stars Shares or Flutter Shares, as the case may be, together with their addresses and respective holdings of Stars Shares or Flutter Shares, as the case may be. Each Party shall from time to time require that its registrar and transfer agent furnish the other Party with such additional information, including updated or additional lists of shareholders and lists of holdings and other assistance as the other Party may reasonably request.

Section 2.18                            Dividends

(1)                                 Subject to applicable Law and the prior approval of the Flutter Board, Flutter Shareholders on the register of members of Flutter at 6.00 p.m. (Irish Standard Time) on the last day prior to the Effective Date will receive:

(a)                                 a dividend in respect of the financial year ending December 31, 2019 (unless a dividend in respect of such period has been declared or paid prior to the Effective Time); and

(b)                                 a dividend which will be an amount which is equal to the anticipated dividend per Flutter Share for the financial year ending December 31, 2020, pro-rated for the number of days elapsed in the period from January 1, 2020 to the Effective Date (inclusive),

32

in each case consistent with past practice as regards to amount per share pro rated for equivalent time periods; and

(2)                                 Stars will not declare or pay any dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, stock or in kind) in the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, other than as is consistent with past practice as regards to amount per share, declaration record and payment dates.

Section 2.19                            Adjustment of Consideration

If, on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time:

68

Notwithstanding any other requirement in this Section 5.5(a), where a Party (a “Disclosing Party”) is required under this Section 5.5(a) to provide information to another Party (a “Receiving Party”) that the Disclosing Party deems to be competitively or commercially sensitive information or otherwise reasonably determines in respect thereof that disclosure should be restricted, the Disclosing Party may restrict the provision of such competitively or commercially sensitive and other information only to external legal counsel of the Receiving Party, provided that the Disclosing Party also provides the Receiving Party a redacted version of such information which does not contain any such competitively or commercially sensitive or other restricted information.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.5(a), in relation to the Investment Canada Act and the Foreign Investment Review Board (Australia), Flutter shall lead and direct the efforts to obtain such Regulatory Approvals.

(i)                                     the sale, divestiture, disposition or other commitment in respect of the ownership of any assets or businesses of either Party or their respective Subsidiaries; and

(ii)                                  undertakings, obligations, restrictions, or any other actions that after the Effective Time would limit the freedom of action or operations of either Party or their respective Subsidiaries with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of its or its Subsidiaries’ businesses, product lines or assets, including any undertaking required in connection with the Investment Canada Act, to secure the Regulatory Approvals,

unless such sale, divestiture, disposition, other commitment, undertaking, obligation, restriction or other action would reasonably be expected to:

(A)                               have a material negative financial impact on the financial condition or results of operations of both Parties and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or

(B)                               have a material negative effect on the cost synergies reasonably expected to be derived by both Parties and their Subsidiaries taken as a whole as a result of the Arrangement.

Section 5.6                                   Pre-Acquisition Reorganization

(a)                                 Stars agrees that, subject to any required approvals of the applicable Governmental Entities and to the extent permitted by Law: Stars shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to (i) effect such reorganizations of Stars’ or its Subsidiaries’ business, operations and assets or such other transactions as Flutter, acting reasonably, may request prior to the Effective Date, (each a “Pre-Acquisition Reorganization”) and the Plan of Arrangement, if required, shall be modified accordingly; and (ii) cooperate with Flutter and its advisors to determine

69

the nature of the Pre-Acquisition Reorganizations that might be undertaken and the manner in which they would most effectively be undertaken.

(b)                                 Stars and its Subsidiaries will not be obligated to participate in any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization unless such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization, in the opinion of Stars, acting reasonably:

(i)            does not materially impede, delay or prevent consummation of the Arrangement (including by giving rise to litigation by third parties);

(ii)           can be unwound in the event the Arrangement is not consummated without adversely affecting Stars or any of its Subsidiaries in any material manner;

(iii)          does not require Stars or any of its Subsidiaries to contravene any applicable Laws, their respective constating documents or any Contract;

(iv)          does not require Stars to obtain any additional approval of the Stars Shareholders;

(v)           is not considered in determining whether a representation, warranty or covenant of Stars hereunder has been breached;

(vi)          does not result in Taxes being imposed on, or any adverse Tax or other consequences to, Stars Shareholders, holders of Stars Options or Stars Equity Awards, or, to the extent that such Taxes or adverse Tax or other consequences are material, Stars or any of its Subsidiaries;

(vii)         does not require Stars to take any action with regards to any Gaming Approval that it is not already taking pursuant to the provisions hereof;

(viii)        does not result in a change of control, default, or acceleration of any of Stars existing credit facilities or outstanding debt securities; and

(ix)          does not unreasonably interfere in the operations of Stars or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time.

(c)                                  If this Agreement is terminated in circumstances other than in which a Stars Termination Payment Event has occurred, Flutter shall forthwith reimburse Stars for all reasonable costs and expenses, including legal fees, disbursements and Taxes (net of any actual reduction of Taxes available to and obtained (or that will be obtained in the next following five taxation periods) by Stars or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of such costs and expenses and/or the Pre-Acquisition Reorganization, as determined by Stars acting reasonably and in good faith) incurred by Stars and its Subsidiaries in connection with any proposed Pre-Acquisition Reorganization. In such circumstances Flutter shall indemnify and hold harmless Stars, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with or as a result of any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization, or properly incurred in taking reasonable steps to reverse or unwind any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization or other steps taken pursuant to this Section 5.6.

70

(d)                                 Flutter shall provide written notice to Stars of any proposed Pre-Acquisition Reorganization at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Effective Time. Upon receipt of such notice, Flutter and Stars shall work co-operatively and use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare prior to the Effective Time all documentation necessary and do all such other acts and things as are necessary to give effect to such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization.

(i)                                     solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage, assist or otherwise facilitate (including by way of furnishing or providing copies of, access to, or disclosure of, any confidential information, properties, facilities, books or records of Stars or Flutter or any Subsidiary, as applicable, or entering into any form of agreement, arrangement or understanding (other than a confidentiality and standstill agreement permitted by and in accordance with Section 5.8(d))) any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, an Acquisition Proposal;

(ii)                                  enter into, continue or otherwise engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than the other Party) regarding any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, an Acquisition Proposal;

71

to be in violation of this Section 5.8 (or in the event that the Stars Meeting or the Flutter Meeting is scheduled to occur within such five (5) Business Day period, prior to the third (3rd) Business Day before the date of the Stars Meeting or the Flutter Meeting, as applicable); provided the Stars Board or Flutter Board, as applicable, has rejected such Acquisition Proposal and affirmed their recommendation of the Arrangement before the end of such period);

(iv)                              accept or enter into, or publicly propose to accept or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, agreement, arrangement or undertaking related to any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality and standstill agreement permitted by and in accordance with Section 5.8(d)) (a “Proposed Agreement”); or

(v)                                 make a Change in Recommendation.

(b)                                 Each of Stars and Flutter shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, discussion, negotiation or other activity with any Person (other than the other Party) conducted by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives with respect to any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, and, in connection therewith, such Party will discontinue access to, and disclosure of, any of its information (and not establish or allow access to any of its or its Subsidiaries’ information, any data room, virtual or otherwise, or any of its or its Subsidiaries’ properties, facilities, books or records); and shall as soon as possible request, and exercise all rights it has to require, the return or destruction of all confidential information regarding such Party and its Subsidiaries previously provided to any such Person or any other Person (other than the other Party and its Representatives) to the extent such information has not already been returned or destroyed. Neither Stars nor Flutter shall release any third party from any confidentiality, non-solicitation or standstill agreement, or terminate, modify, amend or waive the terms thereof, and each of Stars and Flutter undertakes to enforce, and cause its Subsidiaries to enforce, all standstill, non-disclosure, non-disturbance, non-solicitation and similar covenants that such Party or any of its Subsidiaries has entered into prior to the date hereof except to allow a Person to propose an Acquisition Proposal to the Party (it being acknowledged that the automatic termination or release of any such agreement, restriction or covenant as a result of either Party entering into this Agreement shall not be a violation of this Section 5.8(b)). Each of Stars and Flutter covenants and agrees (i) that it shall take all necessary action to enforce each confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement or restriction to which it or any Subsidiary is a party, and (ii) that neither it, nor any Subsidiary or any of its Representatives have or will, without the prior written consent of the other Party, release any Person from, or waive, amend, suspend or otherwise modify such Person’s obligations respecting it, or any of its Subsidiaries, under any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement or restriction to which it or any Subsidiary is a party except to allow such Person to propose an Acquisition Proposal to such Party.

72

(c)                                  If a Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives, receives or otherwise becomes aware of (i) any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) any request (by any Person that such Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives is aware, or would reasonably be expected to be aware, is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal) for copies of, access to, or disclosure of, confidential information relating to such Party or any of its Subsidiaries, including information, access, or disclosure relating to the properties, facilities, books or records of such Party or any of its Subsidiaries, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party, at first orally, and then as soon as practicable and in any event within twenty four (24) hours in writing, of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request, including a description of its material terms and conditions (if applicable), the identity of all Persons making the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request, and copies of all documents, correspondence or other material received in respect of,  from or on behalf of any such Persons. The Parties shall keep one another promptly and fully informed of the status, including any change to the material terms, of any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request and will respond promptly to all inquiries by the other Party with respect thereto.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the Stars Shareholder Approval or the Flutter Shareholder Approval, as applicable, a Party or its Representatives receives a bona fide unsolicited Acquisition Proposal and such Person was not restricted from making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an existing standstill or similar restriction, Stars or Flutter, as applicable, has been, and continues to be, in compliance with its obligations under Section 5.8, and the Stars Board or the Flutter Board, as applicable, determines, in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Proposal, then, and only in such case, such Party may:

(i)                                     provide the Person making such an Acquisition Proposal with access to such information regarding such Party and its Subsidiaries as has been provided to the other Party or as is required to be provided by applicable Law; and/or

(ii)                                  enter into, participate, facilitate and maintain discussions or negotiations with, and otherwise cooperate with or assist, the Person making such Acquisition Proposal,

provided that such Party shall not, and shall not allow any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives to, disclose any non-public information with respect to such Party or any of its Subsidiaries to such Person making such Acquisition Proposal without having (i) entered into a confidentiality and standstill agreement on customary terms, and provided a copy of such confidentiality and standstill agreement to the other Party and (ii) provided to the other Party a list of and access to the information made or to be made available to such Person. Any such confidentiality and standstill agreement may not include any provision

73

calling for an exclusive right to negotiate with such Party and may not restrict such Party or any of its Subsidiaries from otherwise complying with Section 5.8.

(e)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.8(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, if a Party receives an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal, such Party may (i) make a Change in Recommendation in respect of such Superior Proposal or (ii) enter into any Proposed Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal if, and only if, prior to effecting such Change in Recommendation and/or entering into such Proposed Agreement:

(i)                                     the Flutter Shareholder Approval or the Stars Shareholder Approval, as applicable, has not been obtained;

(ii)                                  such Party has complied in all material respects with Section 5.8;

(iii)                               such Party has provided the other Party with a notice in writing that there is a Superior Proposal together with a copy of the proposed definitive agreement for the Superior Proposal and all supporting materials, including documentation supporting the valuation of any non-cash consideration and any financing documents supplied to such Party in connection therewith, subject to, in the case of financing documents, customary confidentiality provisions with respect to fee letters or similar information, such documents to be so provided to the other Party not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed acceptance, approval or execution of the Proposed Agreement by such Party;

(iv)                              five (5) Business Days (the “Matching Period”) shall have elapsed from the date the other Party received the notice and documentation referred to in Section 5.8(e)(iii)from such Party and, during any Matching Period, the other Party has had the opportunity (but not the obligation), in accordance with Section 5.8(f), to offer to amend this Agreement and the Arrangement in order for such Acquisition Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal, and, if the other Party has proposed to amend the terms of the Arrangement in accordance with Section 5.8(f), the Stars Board or the Flutter Board, as applicable, shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal compared to the proposed amendment to the terms of the Arrangement by the other Party; and

(v)                                 after the Matching Period, the board of the Party in receipt of the Acquisition Proposal determines, after consultation with outside counsel and financial advisors, that the Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal.

(f)                                   Each of Stars and Flutter acknowledges and agrees that, during the Matching Period or such longer period as such Party may approve for such purpose, the other Party shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to propose to amend the terms of this Agreement, including an increase in, or modification of, the Consideration. The Stars Board or the Flutter Board, as applicable, will,  in consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisers, review any

74

proposal by the other Party to amend the terms of this Agreement in order to determine in good faith in the exercise of its fiduciary duties whether the other Party’s proposal to amend this Agreement would result in the Acquisition Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal, and will respond to the other Party with such determination within three (3) Business Days of receiving the other Party’s proposal to amend this Agreement. If the Stars Board or the Flutter Board, as applicable, determines that the Acquisition Proposal is not a Superior Proposal as compared to the proposed amendments to the terms of this Agreement, it will promptly enter into an amended agreement with the other Party reflecting such proposed amendments. Each Party undertakes to the other to negotiate in good faith and in a timely manner with the other Party during the Matching Period.

(g)                                  Each successive amendment or modification to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the Party receiving an Acquisition Proposal or other material terms or conditions thereof shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 5.8, and the other Party shall be afforded a new full five (5) Business Day Matching Period from the date on which the other Party received the notice and documentation referred to in Section 5.8(e)(iii) with respect to each new Superior Proposal.

(h)                                 Each of Stars and Flutter shall ensure that its Representatives and its Subsidiaries are aware of the provisions of this Section 5.8, and each of Stars and Flutter shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 5.8 by its Representatives and its Subsidiaries.

(i)                                     In circumstances where:

(i)                                     Stars or Flutter has notified the other that it intends to make a Change in Recommendation under Section 5.8(j); or

(ii)                                  Stars or Flutter provides the other with notice of a Superior Proposal contemplated by Section 5.8(e),

on a date that is less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Stars Meeting or the Flutter Meeting, as applicable, Stars or Flutter may, or if requested by the other, shall adjourn the Stars Meeting or the Flutter Meeting, as applicable, to a date that is fifteen (15th) Business Days after the date of such notice, provided, however, that neither the Stars Meeting nor the Flutter Meeting shall be adjourned or postponed to a date that is later than the fifteenth (15th) Business Day prior to the Outside Date.

(j)                                    Nothing in this Section 5.8 shall prohibit the Stars Board or the Flutter Board from (i) making a Change in Recommendation or from making any disclosure to any securityholders of the applicable Party prior to the Effective Time, if, in the good faith judgment of the Stars Board or the Flutter Board, as applicable, after consultation with outside counsel and financial advisors, failure to take such action or make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Stars Board or the Flutter Board, as applicable, or such action or disclosure is otherwise required under applicable Law and (ii) responding through a directors’

75

circular or equivalent document to an Acquisition Proposal that it determines is not a Superior Proposal, provided that such Party shall provide the other Party and its outside legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review the form and content of such circular or other disclosure (if practicable) and shall make all reasonable amendments as requested by the other Party and its legal counsel.

(k)                                 Nothing in this Section 5.8 shall prevent Flutter from complying with the requirements of the Irish Takeover Rules or the Irish Takeover Panel.

Section 5.9                                   Financing Assistance
