Regarding
this important resolution, Novomatic CEO, Harald Neumann, said: "The entry
of Novomatic as a new Austrian shareholder is an important step for a stable
and sustainable core shareholder structure for the Casinos Austria Group. As a
leading international and globally recognized gaming technology company we are
interested in a valuable investment and positive development of CASAG."
Novomatic further announces that it has transferred an indirect share of Österreichische Lotterien GmbH (ÖLG) amounting
to 11.56 % to the Austrian Gaming Holding a.s. belonging to the SAZKA Group and
that it thereby remains a shareholder in ÖLG with a total share of less than 25
%.
