- Business highlights for the year

Spain As previously announced Betbull has sold 100% of Winners Apuestas SA (Winners), it's Spanish subsidiary, to bwin Interactive Entertainment AG for EUR 4m. The sale released Betbull from the funding obligations required by Winners. Betbull can now concentrate fully on its core retail business in Germany plus a limited online offer supporting the retail activities.

Germany During the year 2010 Betbull continued with the reorganisation process and shut down premises with below standard performances. Betbull further invested in fully licensed betting shops. Betting stakes of EUR 77.2m for the year down by 7.2% compared to those in 2009 of EUR 83.7m. This reduction reflects the difficult trading conditions in Germany, in particular during the period until the rulings of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on 8 September 2010. Due to the positive ECJ rulings and the stronger trading period in QIV no impairment has been charged in the Income Statement (compared to an impairment charge of EUR 3.0m in 2009).

Corporate Setup With effect from 6 November 2010 the transfer of the registered seat of Betbull from London to Vienna has successfully been effected. Post relocation Betbull finalized the formation of the Administration Organ and the Managing Board. Betbull appointed Nicolas Mathys as member of the Administrative Organ and Georg Höcherl as Managing Director. Simon Bold, David De Marco, Simon Fielder and David Morgan resigned as members of the Administrative Organ. Alexander Leip resigned as a member of the Administrative Organ and was appointed as joint Managing Director.

Commenting on today's press release Alexander Leip, Managing Director of Betbull Holding SE said:

'2010 has been a year of consolidation with the clear focus on the German retail betting market plus a complementary offer of slot machines and a complementary online offering.

As a result of the transfer of the registered seat Betbull reduced costs at Holding level.

Betbull's healthy cash position would help to expand and develop the German business under an eagerly awaited new legislation.'
