LUCERNE, Switzerland, 1 October 2024 – Allwyn, a leading multi-national lottery operator headquartered in Switzerland, today announces that the Allwyn entity Allwyn International a.s. (“AIAS”) has relocated from the Czech Republic to Switzerland. Effective 1 October 2024, AIAS has become a Swiss entity (under the new legal name Allwyn International AG) and has transferred its place of business to Switzerland.

As of the date of relocation, the €500 million 3.875% senior secured notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) originally issued by AIAS have been transferred to Allwyn Entertainment Financing (UK) Plc, as substituting issuer. Allwyn Entertainment Financing (UK) plc is the issuer and borrower of certain other Allwyn bonds and loans. AIAS has become a guarantor of the 2027 Notes, which continue to be guaranteed and collateralised pari passu with other indebtedness under Allwyn’s intercreditor agreement dated 16 December 2020.

The relocation has no effect on Allwyn’s workforce or lotteries and gaming operations in the Czech Republic.
