Cardinal House Group Awarded Three Worldwide Gaming Licences


Highlights:


  • Norfolk Island Gaming Authority grants Cardinal House Group three worldwide gaming licences


  • Licences allow for Interactive Home Gaming, Bookmaking in respect of race meetings and sports betting and conducting worldwide Interactive Lotteries


  • Term of licences is between 8-10 years


  • Granting of licences is a Condition Precedent to the transaction with FEL, which is progressing as planned


Fe Limited ("FEL" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Cardinal House Group Pty Ltd ("Cardinal House" or "the Licensee") has been awarded three worldwide gaming licences by the Norfolk Island Gaming Authority (the "Authority" or the "Regulator"). These licences will allow Cardinal House to offer a wide range of online gaming and entertainment products to regulated jurisdictions world- wide, with particular focus on the Australian and Asia Pacific regions.


As previously announced, the Company has signed a binding conditional Share Sale Agreement with Cardinal House ("Agreement") to acquire 100% of Cardinal House ("Transaction"). The awarding of a gaming licence from the Department of Gaming of Norfolk Island or the Northern Territory Government, allowing non-restricted access to international gaming markets on terms acceptable to FEL, was a Condition Precedent to the Agreement.


Commenting on the awarding of the licences to Cardinal House, FEL Chairman, Mr Tony Sage said, "The Regulator's approval of the three licences is a valuable achievement and without doubt exceptional news for FEL and its shareholders."


"The Interactive Home Gaming licence facilitates the short term business plan of Cardinal House, and the mid-term product rollout strategy justifies the implementation and usage of alternative licences."


"Cardinal are in final negotiations with regards to its proposed platform and operational systems provider, payment processing and security measures, which form additional requirements of the due diligence process."

With confirmation of the gaming licences being granted, FEL and Cardinal House will continue to progress the due diligence process and work towards satisfaction of the remaining Conditions Precedent. The Conditions Precedents are detailed in FEL's ASX announcement dated 12 November 2015. It is anticipated a revised timetable for completion of the Transaction will be announced in the coming weeks.
