[pippit] 22/3/2005 16:37

I think you will find that anyone buying 3% or more must tell the Company and the Company is obliged to tell the exchange and announce it name and all. Happy punting.

[rkjones] 22/3/2005 16:30

This Buy by my calculation represents 7/8% of the company. Are Aim registered companies required to issue an RNS. It would be interesting to see who has bought in.

[rkjones] 22/3/2005 16:18

late in the day, 1.6m Buy going through. Somebody is keen to get a piece of the action.

[hotfinance14] 21/3/2005 15:18

If they oncentrate on internet gambling this share price will rocket soon.

Interactive Gaming Holdings plc

Acquisition of Heathorns International Ltd for total consideration of £755,000
and
Placing of 17,800,000 Ordinary Shares at 9 pence per share

Summary

• Interactive Gaming Holdings plc ('IGH' or 'the Company') today announces
the acquisition of Mathew Simmonds International Limited and its wholly
owned subsidiary Heathorns International Limited.


• The consideration for the acquisition comprises the payment on
completion of £500,000 in cash, the issue of 2,000,000 Ordinary Shares
(valued at £180,000 at the placing price) and £75,000 deferred payable over
2 years.


•Established in 1890, Heathorns is the world's oldest established
bookmakers, focused on horse racing, football, cricket, rugby, golf and NFL
sports betting.


• Heathorns has over 6,600 international clients in its database, of which
900 clients are regularly active, many are whom are high net worth
individuals with extended lines of credit.


• In the 2004 financial year, Heathorns had turnover of £7.02 million,
gross 'net win' of £438,000 (6.2% of turnover), and it broke even at a net
profit level. The consolidated net liabilities of Heathorns at completion is
expected to be approximately £41,000.


• Heathorns is primarily a telebetting operator with a call centre based
in Malta, supplemented by a basic online service. The business is licensed
and regulated in Malta - the only regulated EU jurisdiction for internet
gaming.


• IGH will combine its significant online e-gaming marketing expertise
with Heathorns established sports betting operation, focusing on targeted
customer acquisitions.


• The Company has placed 17,800,000 Ordinary Shares at a placing price of
9p per share raising approximately £1.52 million (net of expenses for the
Company). The proceeds of the placing will be used to fund the acquisition
of Heathorns and to assist in the development of the enlarged Group's
business. Admission of the placing shares is expected to take place on 21
March 2005.

The Board believes that the acquisition of Heathorns by IGH will:

• Represent a platform for growth and enhance IGH's product offering with
a long established brand recognised throughout the UK.

• Provide significant cross-selling opportunities across the enlarged
customer base.

• Introduce Heathorns' high net worth customers to IGH's extensive
e-gaming portals.

• Relauch Heathorns' internet offer and migrate low volume customers away
from telebetting to an expanded website incorporating sportsbetting, casino
and poker.

• Introduce market leading targeted customer acquisition processes to the
website.

• Enhance Heathorns' brand recognition by re-establishing a UK track-side
presence.

• Enhance IGH's earnings per share (before goodwill amortisation and
exceptionals).

In addition, senior Heathorns management will remain with the enlarged Group
including Andrew Collins, who has over 20 years' bookmaking experience and is
responsible for the Malta sports book risk management operation. Plus, Mrs Helen
Simmonds, part of the family that have run the business for the last seventy
years, will be joining the IGH Board as a non-executive director and will be
assisting the enlarged Group with strategic marketing of the Heathorns brand on
a consultancy basis.

Completion of the acquisition of Heathorns is inter alia conditional upon the
consent of the Maltese regulator. The Directors of IGH have no reason to believe
that such consent will not be forthcoming.

and we look forward to developing the Heathorns brand especially its online
offer. The success of the placing and the level of support we have received

and via further strategic acquisitions in the dynamic e-gaming and sports
betting arenas.'
