Evoke shareholders have approved the proposed all-share takeover by Bally’s Intralot S.A. The evoke Intralot acquisition received 99.91% support among shares voted at the Court Meeting. The deal still needs further approvals before it can be completed.

• At the Court Meeting on 17 August, 268.2 million shares were voted in favour and 236,504 against. This represented 99.91% support among shares voted. Supporting shares accounted for 59.55% of evoke’s total issued share capital.
• Shareholders also backed the resolution needed to implement the evoke Intralot acquisition at the General Meeting. Around 268.4 million shares, or 99.63% of votes cast, supported it. Evoke had 450.4 million shares in issue at the voting record time.
• The votes satisfy two conditions needed to complete the deal. Evoke said several antitrust and regulatory conditions have also been satisfied. Other conditions remain outstanding before the transaction can close.
• Intralot and evoke announced the all-share deal on 5 June 2026. The evoke Intralot acquisition is being carried out through a scheme of arrangement under Gibraltar law. Evoke is registered in Gibraltar, so the UK Takeover Code does not formally apply.
• The court hearing is expected in Q4 2026 or Q1 2027, subject to the remaining conditions. If approved, the acquisition is expected to become effective during the same period. The timetable remains subject to change.
