The work of the Nomination Committee and reasoned opinion regarding the nomination committee’s proposal for the board of directors

According to the instruction and rules of procedure for the nomination committee adopted at the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting held on May 18, 2018, the nomination committee shall consist of four members representing the three largest shareholders as per the end of August, together with the chair of the board of directors. The nomination committee has been formed in accordance with the instructions and the composition of the nomination committee was announced on October 1, 2021.

The nomination committee has held four meetings. The nomination committee has been presented with the board of director’s self-assessment, which was performed and presented by an external consultant based on a questionnaire and individual interviews. The nomination committee was also presented with the board’s view on future challenges to the board and the company, and met with the CEO for an update on Better Collective’s business model and future prospects. The nomination committee has further interviewed all members of the board of directors. The nomination committee motivates its proposal for the board of directors as follows:

The nomination committee has aspired to present at the annual general meeting a proposal which includes persons with appropriate experience and competence in fields that are crucial to the company. Diversity as regards to age, gender, education, professional background and other factors have been taken into account. The company has applied a diversity policy, in compliance with section 99 b of the Danish Financial Statements Act as well as rule 4.1 of the Swedish Corporate Governance Code (the “Code”), when compiling its proposal for the board of directors. The nomination committee has also assessed the size of the board and any possible need for renewal. The nomination committee has finally also considered the requirements regarding indpendency in the Code.

The nomination committee has concluded that the proposed board of directors meets all stated as the proposed composition of the board of directors consists of two women and four men. The gender diversity is thus 33 % / 67 %, which, in the nomination committee’s opinion, is consistent with the requirement of an equal gender balance. The nomination committee proposes a re-election of Jens Bager (also to be reelected as chair of the board of directors), Therese Hillman, Klaus Holse, Leif Nørgaard, and Petra von Rohr.

If the proposal to appoint a vice chair is adopted in accordance with the recommendation of the board of directors, the nomination committee proposes that Therese Hillman is elected as vice chair of the board of directors in the period until the next annual general meeting.

The nomination committee believes that the proposed board of directors has the qualifications, experience and breadth appropriate to Better Collective’s operations, phase of development and other relevant circumstances. In the nomination committee’s opinion, all proposed board members are to be considered as independent in relation to the company, its management, and major shareholders.

Information on the board members proposed for re-election can be found at the company website and in the annual report.

The nomination committee proposes no changes to the principles for appointment of the nomination committee.

Crash and instant win formats target fast onboarding, mobile play and low-friction mechanics, with RTP and max win figures disclosed for SoccerX.

Microgaming has launched two football-themed games, StrikerX and SoccerX, positioning them as “gateway” titles designed to support player acquisition for operators.

The supplier said the releases are built around quick-result gameplay and low-friction entry, with mechanics intended to be easy to pick up. StrikerX is a Crash game, while SoccerX is an Instant Win title, with both designed for fast loading and mobile performance, according to the company.

SoccerX is built around a penalty shootout format where players pick a shot and attempt to beat the keeper while progressing up a prize ladder. Microgaming said the ladder can be cashed out at any point or pushed further. The company lists the game’s RTP at 96.00% and a top win potential of up to 12,500x, and says players can choose their own volatility.

StrikerX allows players to place up to two bets in a single round, using different strategies at the same time, while “dynamic game events” increase the multiplier as play progresses, according to Microgaming. Its Ultimate Shot feature triggers at 100x and introduces bonus multipliers ranging from x1 to x100, with win potential of up to 10,000x.

A Microgaming spokesperson said: “Acquisition is not just about visibility, it is about removing friction. With SoccerX and StrikerX, the aim was to create games that are quick to load, quick to understand and easy to get into, which makes them very effective at opening the door to a wider portfolio. Football gives both titles an immediate hook, but the bigger value is in having formats that can bring in new audiences and still give them a reason to stay.”

Company plans to roll out SOCCERBET with LALIGA archive footage on its own platform in Italian retail after the World Cup.

Highlight Games Limited said its proprietary platform has passed Italy’s ADM collaudo process, the technical certification required for gaming platforms. The company announced the approval on 14 July 2026 from London.

Following the conclusion of the World Cup, Highlight said it will launch its Spanish SOCCERBET product featuring archive LALIGA footage on its own platform across Italian retail channels. The company added that operators will transfer to Highlight’s platform over the months that follow.

The supplier said the certification allows it to deliver its content via its own “zero-cost streaming technology” in Italy and gives it control over its product roadmap in what it called its most important market.

Steven Holmes, CEO, Highlight Games said: ‘This is a huge moment for Highlight as we bring our video-based technology stack to the Italian market and join a select few who are able to offer an officially ADM certified platform. Italy is where SOCCERBET has proven itself time and again and passing the ADM collaudo means we can now deliver that content on our own platform, with our zero-cost streaming solution, exactly as it was designed to be experienced.

‘Owning the technology end to end means we control our own roadmap, resulting in faster launches, smoother integrations for our operator partners and a richer experience for players. Our products consistently perform at the top of the market wherever they are live, and with our platform now officially certified in Italy, we have everything in place to build on that momentum.’
