Wicket Gaming AB: Wicket Gaming announces that the subscription period and trading with unit rights and BTU in the rights issue are postponed

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED KINGDOM, THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN, NEW ZEALAND, SOUTH AFRICA, SOUTH KOREA, SWITZERLAND, CANADA, HONG KONG, OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL OR WOULD REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR ANY OTHER MEASURES.

Wicket Gaming AB (publ) ("Wicket Gaming" or the "Company") hereby announces that the Company is postponing the subscription period as well as the trading period with unit rights and BTU in the rights issue which was decided by the board on December 2, 2022 and approved by the subsequent extraordinary general meeting on January 4, 2023 (the “Rights Issue"). Updated timetable for the subscription period as well as the trading period for unit rights and BTU in the Rights Issue will be published before approval and publication of the EU growth prospectus prepared in connection with the Rights Issue (the "Prospectus").

The reason for postponing the subscription period as well as the trading period with unit rights and BTU is that the Financial Supervisory Authority's approval of the Prospectus has been delayed due to delays related to the pro forma statements which are prepared because of the Company's acquisition of the Wegesrand Group which was communicated through a press release on October 5, 2022.

As a result, the timetable for the Rights Issue is postponed, however, the below record dates are not changed.

17 January 2023

Last day of trading in Wicket Gaming's shares including the right to receive unit rights.

18 January 2023

First day of trading in Wicket Gaming's shares excluding the right to receive unit rights.

19 January 2023

Record date for obtaining unit rights. Shareholders who are registered in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB on this day receive unit rights for participation in the Rights Issue.

The Company intends to publish a timetable for the subscription period and the trading period for unit rights and BTU before approval and publication of the Prospectus.
