Gaming Realms announces that it has nearly completed its Share Buyback Programme (the "Programme") announced on 31 March 2025 to purchase up to £6 million in respect of its ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"). As at the end of February 2026 the Company had acquired 14,026,597 Ordinary shares at a cost of £5,422,758 and had net cash of £16 million. As a result, the Company announces that it will extend the Programme by a further £5 million.

In addition, Gaming Realms announces that it has carried out a review of the progress of the Programme. Due to limited liquidity in the Ordinary Shares, the Company, in discussions with its brokers, Peel Hunt LLP and Investec Bank PLC, has agreed that on any given trading day the Programme may exceed 25 per cent. but remain below 50 per cent. of the average daily trading volume of the Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, on trading days where the Programme exceeds 25 per cent. of the average daily trading volume, the Company may not benefit from the exemption contained in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) 596/2014, as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended) ("UK MAR").

No other changes have been made to the Programme or the basis on which it will be conducted (in each case as announced on 31 March 2025).

Details of any Shares repurchased will be notified to a Regulatory Information Service by the Company following any repurchase as required by UK MAR and the UK Listing Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority.
