(e)

Aristocrat, the Parent and the Officers and Directors (to the knowledge of Aristocrat and the Parent) have not, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction which resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

CUSIP No. [730864105]   13D   Page 5 of 8 Pages

     

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

Aristocrat determined that it would be beneficial to purchase an equity interest in PokerTek concurrently with the execution of a distribution agreement between the parties.  On January 20, 2006, Aristocrat entered into a distributor and license agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with the Issuer; and, on January 21, 2006, Aristocrat entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with WPT Enterprises, Inc. (the “Selling Shareholder”) to purchase an aggregate of 630,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer from the Selling Shareholder for an aggregate consideration that will equal the product obtained by multiplying (x) the total number of shares by (y) the weighted average closing price (weighted with reference to trading volume on each trading day) of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement.  The closing (the “Closing”) of the Securities Purchase Agreement is anticipated to occur on or before February 28, 2006 and is contingent upon Aristocrat’s satisfaction with the results of (i) Aristocrat’s due diligence investigation of PokerTek and (ii) Aristocrat’s investigation of the probity of PokerTek and the Selling Shareholder.  The Distribution Agreement allows Aristocrat to distribute a license for PokerTek’s PokerPro software and related intellectual property (the “Products”), along with all of the hardware to operate the Products (the “Hardware”), to customers in various regulated gaming jurisdictions.  Aristocrat will provide maintenance and support for the Products and Hardware.  PokerTek will provide second level support to Aristocrat for the Products.  The license granted to Aristocrat is an exclusive license for the territory comprised of the entire world excluding North America and has a duration of six months; however, this term will be extended to ten (10) years if the Closing of the Securities Purchase Agreement occurs and Aristocrat acquires 316,800 shares of PokerTek from additional shareholders within the period of the initial term.

Aristocrat and the Parent may acquire additional shares of common stock of the Issuer and may seek to obtain representation on the Board of the Directors of the Issuer.  Except as set forth in this Schedule, neither Aristocrat, the Parent nor the Officers and Directors have any present plans or proposals with respect to the Issuer or the securities of the Issuer that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be described in Items 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D.  Aristocrat, the Parent and the Officers and Directors may, from time to time, review or reconsider its position with respect to the Issuer and may formulate plans or proposals with respect to any of such matters.
