The all-share combination by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Arrangement”) of The Stars Group Inc. (“The Stars Group”) with Flutter Entertainment plc (“Flutter”) was implemented on May 5, 2020 through an acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of The Stars Group (“Common Shares”) by Flutter in exchange for ordinary shares of Flutter (“Flutter Shares”). The Flutter Shares issued pursuant to the Arrangement were issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof on the basis of the approval of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List). As a result of the Arrangement, Flutter became the holder of all of the Common Shares and is submitting this Form 6-K to establish itself, pursuant to Rule 12g-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as the successor issuer to The Stars Group.

 

The Common Shares were delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select Market following the close of trading on May 4, 2020 and Flutter (as successor to The Stars Group) will seek to deregister with the Securities and Exchange Commission and terminate its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
