Evoke plc has confirmed it is in discussions with Bally’s Intralot S.A. over a possible takeover offer valuing the entire issued and to-be-issued share capital at 50 pence per share. The proposal is structured as an all-share combination with a partial cash alternative, though there is no certainty a formal bid will emerge or on what terms.

The board, advised by Morgan Stanley and Rothschild & Co., is evaluating the approach and has urged shareholders not to take any action while talks continue. Bally’s Intralot has until 18 May 2026 to announce a firm intention to make an offer or walk away, in a process not governed by the UK Takeover Code, which may reduce the regulatory protections typically available to UK-listed target company investors.
