Terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.

The terms and conditions of the redemption are as follows:

  1. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the Redemption Condition (as defined below) by the Issuer, the redemption date for the Notes called for redemption will be the later of (i) August 5, 2022; and (ii) if the Redemption Condition has not been satisfied or waived on or before August 4, 2022, such calendar day as specified in the notice of the satisfaction or waiver of the Redemption Condition, which satisfaction or waiver will be disclosed in writing by the Issuer to the Paying Agent, the Trustee and Holders of the Notes, but in no case shall the redemption date be more than 60 days following the date hereof (the “Redemption Date”). The record date, on which any Holder of Notes called for redemption must hold any Notes called for redemption to be entitled to the Redemption Price (as defined below), will be the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date.
     
  2. The redemption price of the Notes called for redemption is 100.000% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes called for redemption plus accrued and unpaid interest from (and including) July 31, 2022 (the last date upon which interest on the Notes called for redemption was paid) to (but not including) the Redemption Date in the aggregate amount of (assuming satisfaction or waiver of the Redemption Condition on or prior to August 5, 2022) €275,267,361.11 (the “Redemption Price”), which comprises (i) the 100.000% of outstanding principal of €275,000,000 and (ii) accrued but unpaid interest equal to €267,361.11. If the Redemption Date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, payment of the Redemption Price will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue over the intervening period in accordance with Section 12.06 of the Indenture (the “Redemption Payment Date”).
     
  3. The Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent at Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, Winchester House, 1 Great Winchester Street, London EC2N 2DB, United Kingdom, Attention of: Corporate Trust (Debt & Agency Group), Fax: +44 (0) 207547 6419, to collect the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest.
     
  4. Unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on the Notes called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of Holders of such Notes called for redemption is to receive payment on the Redemption Date of the Redemption Price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes being redeemed.
     
  5. The ISIN and Common Code numbers in relation to the Notes being redeemed are as set forth above. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such numbers listed in this Notice of Conditional Redemption or printed on the Notes. Reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.
     
  6. The Notes called for redemption will be redeemed in accordance with paragraph 5(b) of the Note and Sections 3.03, 3.04 and 3.05 of the Indenture.
     
  7. The Issuer’s obligation to redeem any of the Notes on the Redemption Date is conditioned upon (i) the necessary funds (in the requisite currencies) having been received by and made available to the Issuer and the determination of the Issuer to redeem the Notes as set out herein and pay all related expenses and (ii) the completion of the transactions described pursuant to the Share Purchase and Transfer Agreement dated as of December 23, 2021, by and among Schumann Investments S.A. and Flutter Entertainment plc, as may be further amended from time to time (together, the “Redemption Condition”). Accordingly, none of the Notes shall be deemed due and payable on the Redemption Date unless and until the Redemption Condition is satisfied or waived by the Issuer. The Issuer will inform the Holders of the Notes called for redemption by press release on or prior to the Redemption Date as to whether the Redemption Condition will, in the sole discretion of the Issuer, be satisfied or waived (and if no such notice is delivered, then the Redemption Date shall be delayed until the earlier of the Redemption Date provided in the notice of the satisfaction or waiver of the Redemption Condition by the Issuer or confirmation from the Issuer that the Notice of Conditional Redemption is revoked and the Redemption will not occur). If the Redemption Condition is not satisfied or waived, any Notes called for redemption previously surrendered to the Paying Agent shall be returned to the Holders thereof and the redemption will be revoked.
