Gre reek Tax Assessment
On 25 January 2018, GVC announced that its subsidiary, Sportingodds Limited, received a tax audit
assessment notice from the Greek Audit Centre for Large Enterprises in respect of the fiscal years 2010 and 2011
At that time Sportingodds was owned by Sportingbet, prior to GVC’s acquisition of Sportingbet in 2013 The audit assessment claims that Greek corporate income tax, Greek gaming tax and withheld player
winnings tax plus surcharges are owed to the Greek Audit Centre for Large Enterprises
The total assessment amount is €186.77m The GVC Board believes that Sportingodds has strong grounds for appeal and on 29 January 2018 an
appeal was filed
Sportingodds is in discussions with the Greek Audit Centre for Large Enterprises to enter a payment
scheme of approximately €7.8m per month over a 24 month period
Entrance into the payment scheme is not an admission that the assessment is correct
Bac Background
Entrance into the payment scheme ensures that Greek authorities cannot seize assets of Sportingodds
situated in Greece and reduces the risk of major disruption to the Greek business
In the event that Sportingodds is wholly or partially unsuccessful in its appeal, it is likely that it will need to
pay all or part of the assessment (which includes surcharges), less amounts already paid under the payment scheme

German Regulatory Update
The German business operates against the backdrop of significant regulatory uncertainty
− The uncertainty stems from the Interstate Gambling Treaty of 1 July 2012, which effectively introduced a ban on online casino and online poker
Online casino and poker are subject to a total ban under the Interstate Treaty, however, a license tender for
− Each of the GVC Group and the Ladbrokes Coral Group were successful applicants in the tender process for one of the 20 available Germany-wide sports betting licenses − Due to ongoing legal challenges, no such license has been granted so far
GVC was separately granted an online sports betting, casino and poker license by the state of Schleswig-
Holstein (one state that rejected the treaty)
Sports betting is permitted under 2012 State Gaming Treaty (licensing regime yet to be finalised)
Bac Background
It remains unclear whether Germany’s prohibition of online casino and online poker is compliant with EU
law
Amendments to the Interstate Treaty had been scheduled to enter into force on 1 January 2018
− They have not been ratified by all 16 German states, as required − It is likely that the legislative debate will recommence in the second half of 2018
Tax is paid on all German revenues German poker/casino NGR is c4% of Group NGR
