Sazka Group has announced Justin King, former chief executive of supermarket chain Sainsbury’s, as the first appointment to a new advisory board to support its bid for the fourth UK National Lottery licence.

The Czech conglomerate marked King’s appointment as a major coup in its ambitions to replace Camelot UK as operating company of the National Lottery, a contract Camelot has served since its inception in 1994.

“Getting people back to their local high street post-Covid-19 requires fresh thinking, an innovative approach, and recognition that the National Lottery can play an integral role in that recovery,” King said.

“I’m teaming up with SAZKA Group to make the National Lottery better. We need to revitalise this precious institution by bringing back those customers that have stopped playing, while making it relevant and exciting for new audiences too.

“A vibrant and growing lottery is the only way to guarantee more funding for good causes, which is crucial for helping Britain to build back better.”

SAZKA Group’s UK Bid Chair Sir Keith Mills said: “With Justin on board, we will present a plan that modernises retail channels to ensure that not a single National Lottery player or retailer is left behind. Justin’s experience will also be of huge benefit for our transition plans which must be submitted to the Gambling Commission as part of our bid.

“Over the next few weeks, I look forward to welcoming more experts to our team, who will help us to share our vision for the National Lottery as the Fourth Licence Competition progresses.”

In line with its capital allocation strategy and empowered by the mandate received at Kambi’s Extraordinary General Meeting on 18 June 2025 (EGM) the board of directors (Board) of Kambi Group plc (Kambi) has today initiated a share repurchase programmes with a total value of SEK 100 million (€9m).

The programme will run from the date of this announcement until 20 May 2026 and shares acquired will be cancelled at a future date. The maximum number of shares that may be acquired is 1,672,887, and the aggregate purchase price for such acquisitions shall not exceed SEK 100 million (€9m). The aggregate number of shares that may be acquired under the mandate received at Kambi’s EGM is 2,990,362, which is equivalent to 10% of Kambi’s total issued shares at the time of the EGM resolution.

The buyback programme will be carried out in accordance with the Maltese Companies Act (chapter 386 of the laws of Malta), the Nasdaq First North Growth Market Rulebook for Issuers of Shares, the EU Market Abuse Regulation (EU No 596/2014) (MAR), and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (the Safe Harbour Regulation). The share buyback programme is intended to benefit from the share buyback safe harbour provisions set out in MAR. To this end Kambi has entered into an agreement with Carnegie Investment Bank AB (Carnegie) to execute the buyback programmes and conduct the share repurchases on Kambi’s behalf.

The acquisition of shares shall take place on one or several occasions on Nasdaq First North Growth market in Stockholm (Nasdaq First North) and Carnegie will make its trading decisions in relation to Kambi’s shares independently of and without influence by Kambi. Payments for the shares are to be made in cash.

The programme will be effected in compliance with the trading conditions set out in article 3 of the Safe Harbour Regulation. In particular, Kambi shall not, on any single trading day, purchase more than 25% of the average daily share turnover on Nasdaq First North. The average daily share turnover is calculated on the basis of the average daily trading volume during the twenty trading days preceding the respective purchase date. In addition, share repurchases under each programme shall:

  1. not be made at a price higher than the price of the last independent trade or (should this be higher) higher than the current highest independent purchase bid on Nasdaq First North, 
  1. be made at a price per share within the price interval recorded on Nasdaq First North at any given time, i.e. the interval between the highest buying price and the lowest selling price, and 
  1. not exceed or fall below the maximum and minimum ranges set out in the EGM resolution. 

At the time of this announcement, the total number of issued shares in Kambi is 29,903,619. Kambi currently holds 2,193,675 of its own shares from prior buyback programmes which will be cancelled on or shortly after 1 December and 400,000 shares held to satisfy Kambi’s future obligations arising from its employee share option programmes.

Information on completed buybacks will be publicly disclosed in accordance with Safe Harbour Regulation and will also be available on the company’s website, kambi.com.
