Statement regarding discussions between Allwyn and the Ontario Teachers‘ Pension Plan

In response to speculation, we can confirm that Allwyn is engaged in advanced discussions with Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP) which may lead to it purchasing Camelot’s U.K operations. If an agreement were to be reached, it would be subject to regulatory approvals. Our shared objective is to reach an agreement which would best serve the interests of the many stakeholders of The National Lottery, in particular the good causes it supports as well as the employees of Camelot and Allwyn UK.
