Listing update

 

Flutter is pleased to announce that, following the passing of the requisite
special resolution at the AGM by 98.24% of votes cast, Flutter will transfer
its listing category on the Official List of the FCA and the Main Market of
the London Stock Exchange plc from "Premium Listing (commercial company)" to
"Standard Listing (shares)" to relocate Flutter's primary listing to the New
York Stock Exchange (the "Proposed Transfer"). As set out in the Notice of
Meeting, it is expected that the Proposed Transfer will take effect on May 31,
2024, more than 20 business days after the passing of the special resolution
in compliance with the Listing Rules of the FCA.
