Recast financial information including quarterly data for all periods from 2021-2024 is also available on  the Flutter website at www.flutter.com/investors/results-reports-and-presentations/year/2025.

NEW YORK, March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Flutter Entertainment plc (“Flutter”) (NYSE:FLUT; LSE:FLTR), the world’s leading online sports betting and iGaming operator, announces that it has entered into non-discretionary arrangements with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC to repurchase ordinary shares on Flutter’s behalf for an aggregate maximum consideration of up to $300 million on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Buyback”).

The Buyback will commence on April 1, 2025 on the New York Stock Exchange, and will end no later than June 30, 2025. The purpose of the Buyback is to reduce the share capital of Flutter. This Buyback is the second tranche of the multi-year share repurchase program of up to $5bn announced on September 25, 2024. In 2025, we expect to return approximately $1bn to shareholders via the program.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC will conduct the Buyback on Flutter’s behalf and will make trading decisions under the Buyback independently of Flutter in accordance with certain pre-set parameters. The maximum number of ordinary shares which may be acquired pursuant to the Buyback is an aggregate of 17,739,905 ordinary shares less the total amount of ordinary shares acquired as part of the first tranche of our share buyback programme announced on November 13, 2024.

The Buyback will be conducted within the parameters prescribed by (i) Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and (ii) the EU Market Abuse Regulation (596/2014) and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 as such legislation forms part of law in the United Kingdom pursuant to the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as may be amended, extended and/or supplemented from time to time). The repurchased ordinary shares will be cancelled.

Any decision in relation to the amount and timing of any future buyback tranche will be based on an ongoing assessment of the capital needs of the business and general market conditions.
