Reduction of Capital
Total Voting Rights
Jackpotjoy plc (the "Company") announces that the Companies Court confirmed the reduction of capital of the Company at a hearing earlier today, and that the subsequent registration of the Court Order with the Registrar of Companies to give effect to the capital reduction is complete.
The reduction of capital consisted of:
(a) cancellation of the share premium account of the Company;
(b) cancellation of 50,000 redeemable shares of £1.00 each in the capital of the Company; and
(c) cancellation of 1 ordinary share of £0.10 in the capital of the Company.
The Company notifies the market that the issued capital of the Company now consists of 73,718,942 ordinary shares each with one vote. There are no shares held in treasury.
Therefore, following completion of the capital reduction, the total number of voting rights has decreased by 1 from 73,718,943 to 73,718,942.
The total number of voting rights of 73,718,942 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
The ISIN number for the Company's ordinary shares is: GB00BZ14BX56.
