GLP Advises Probability PLC on a Board-Recommended Offer from GTECH S.p.A
 
GTECH S.p.A, through its UK subsidiary GTECH  UK Interactive Limited, has acquired Probability PLC, an AIM listed leading  mobile gaming technology and content developer, for a 59% premium to the share  price prior to announcement.
   Probability’s leading  mobile technology and content powers its own B2C mobile gaming brands  including Lady Lucks, which has over 1.5 million registered players, and is  supplied to blue chip clients including Paddy Power, William Hill and  888. The acquisition provides GTECH, the world’s largest 
  lottery  business, the technology with which to capitalise on this growth. The  Board-recommended offer represented a 59% premium to the share price prior to  announcement and received irrevocable undertakings representing 55% of the  issued share capital of Probability.
  GLP was  the exclusive financial and Rule 3 adviser to the Board of Probability.
 Charles  Cohen, CEO of Probability, stated:
 
  “We ran an  extensive process before selecting GLP for this transaction. GLP won based  on their deep knowledge of the market and their personal relationships with the  potential buyers, supported by an excellent back office team and execution  capability. The end result speaks for itself. If there were  a TripAdvisor for corporate finance advisory, I’d give GLP five  stars.” 
 
 David Bains,  Managing Director of GLP, commented:
 
  “We were  delighted to work with Probability on this engagement. We have been  focused on mobile across all of our leisure sub-sectors for some time given the  underlying market dynamics. Gaming is one such sector that is already  delivering significant growth and, as such, we see the merger of Probability’s  technology and know-how with GTECH’s global presence as a very powerful  combination.”
