19 July 2006
BETonSPORTS plc
The Board of BetonSports plc (the "Company") is aware of wire reports this
morning about an alleged agreement having been reached by the Company with the
US Department of Justice. Neither the Company nor lawyers acting on its behalf
have reached any such agreement nor are they in negotiations with any other
party to these proceedings.
On advice, without admitting the applicability or enforceability of the
Temporary Restraining Order issued by the US Federal District Court in Missouri
on 17 July 2006, the Company has put in hand steps to start to comply with that
Order and to that end the Company confirms that it has temporarily discontinued
the provision of its US facing sports betting services and has suspended certain
US telephone line services specified in the Order. The Company's other
operations are unaffected.
The Company's Board is considering its legal options with regard to the Order
only insofar as it relates to the Company and the steps it needs to take in
relation to the same.
