Fortuna RENT (Czech Republic)

Fortuna PL (Poland)

Riverhill and Alicela are holding companies whose sole activity is holding interests in Czech operational companies. This structure results from Czech regulations that do not allow foreign entities or entities, the direct parent entity of which is a foreign entity, to hold interests in a Czech betting company. Similarly, a shareholder of a Polish betting company may not hold more than one-third of the share capital. Therefore, FEG, Fortuna GAME and Alicela hold shares in Fortuna PL. FORTUNA sázky a.s. is a dormant company, a 100%-owned subsidiary of Fortuna GAME.

In addition, Maltese law does not allow for the holding of the entire share capital in a limited liability company by a sole shareholder being a corporate entity. Therefore, with respect to both Maltese companies, one share is held by Jozef Janov – Chairman of the Supervisory Board of FEG.

Changes to the Organisational Structure

Effective 1 January 2012, Fortuna Loterie a.s., a provider of numerical and instant lottery games in the Czech Republic and FORTUNA GAME a.s., a fixed-odds betting provider in the Czech Republic, merged. FORTUNA GAME a.s. became the successor company.

A one-third interest in Fortuna zakłady bukmacherskie Sp. z o.o. in Poland, which was originally owned by Fortuna Loterie a.s., was transferred to the company ALICELA, a.s.

The above changes were solely organisational ones and they have no impact on current trading and contractual relationships or the business performance of Fortuna Group.
