Response to statement by Evolution AB

Playtech plc (LSE: PTEC) ("Playtech" or the "Company") notes the statement made today by Evolution AB ("Evolution"), announcing that it has requested permission from the Superior Court of New Jersey to add Playtech to its ongoing legal case. Playtech has been awaiting this development since Evolution's public statement on 21 October 2025 and considers Evolution's claims to be baseless and without merit.

As previously announced, Playtech stands by both the decision to commission the report at the centre of Evolution's claims, and the validity of its findings. Evolution continues to seek to avoid legitimate scrutiny rather than addressing longstanding questions about its own conduct, including its decision to supply operators in both illegal and sanctioned markets and to support unlicensed operators in regulated markets.

Playtech welcomes court and regulatory examination of the report and its findings and, importantly, the opportunity to be involved in the discovery process including to question Evolution's employees, executives and officers in court. The Company is very confident based on evidence it has, including recent additional evidence, that these proceedings will confirm the credibility and legitimacy of the report and the importance of the issues it seeks to address.

Playtech will defend itself vigorously against Evolution's claims and will continue to act in the best interests of industry operators, suppliers and regulators as well as its shareholders.
