Dividend and incentive program

The board of directors notes that:

• as regards dividend, MGM has stated that in the event that LeoVegas should pay any dividend prior to the settlement of the Offer, the price per share in the Offer will be reduced correspondingly. Since the dividend, in accordance with previous years, is proposed to be distributed in four tranches, the board of directors finds that the consideration in MGM’s Offer will be clearer and simpler to LeoVegas’ shareholders if no dividend is paid before the outcome of the Offer has been presented; and
• as regards the proposal on an incentive program, the implementation of such a program would not serve its purpose and not be in the Company’s best interest if MGM completes the Offer.

In case MGM’s Offer to the shareholders in LeoVegas is not completed, the board of directors intends to summon an extraordinary general meeting to resolve on dividend and implementation of an incentive program.
