Disclaimer This document comprises written materials/slides for a presentation concerning the proposed merger of PartyGaming Plc and bwin Interactive Entertainment AG ( bwin ) (the Proposed Merger ). This document is an advertisement and not a prospectus or a prospectus equivalent document. This presentation is not intended to, and does not, constitute or form part of an offer or invitation to purchase, otherwise acquire, subscribe for, sell, otherwise dispose of or issue, or any solicitation of any offer to sell, otherwise dispose of, issue, purchase, otherwise acquire or subscribe for, any security, or a solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction. Neither this document nor the making of the presentation constitutes a recommendation regarding any securities of PartyGaming or bwin or any other entity. This document and the presentation are being made only to and directed only at (a) persons who have professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (the Order ) or (b) persons falling within Article 49(2)(a) of the Order or (iii) other persons to whom it may otherwise lawfully be communicated (each such person being a relevant person ). This document is being supplied to you solely for your information in connection with the Proposed Merger. This document and its contents are confidential and may not be further copied, distributed or passed on to any other person or published or reproduced directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by any medium or in any form for any purpose. Some of the information in this document is still in draft form and has not been legally verified and will only be finalised at a later date prior to completion of the Proposed Merger. No reliance may be placed for any purpose on the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the information or opinions contained herein or communicated in relation hereto and no representation or warranty, express or implied, is or will be given by any of PartyGaming, bwin, Deutsche Bank AG ( Deutsche Bank ), McQueen Limited ( McQueen ) or their respective affiliates or their respective officers, employees agents or advisers or any other person in relation to such information and opinions, and any reliance you place on them will be at your sole risk. Certain statements, beliefs and opinions contained in this document and in the presentation are or may be forward-looking statements and as such involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance and achievements of PartyGaming and/or bwin to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements express or implied by such forward-looking statements. No statement contained in this document or expressed in the presentation is intended as a profit forecast. None of PartyGaming, bwin, Deutsche Bank or McQueen undertakes any obligation (except as required by the FSA, the London Stock Exchange plc, the Listing Rules or any other applicable law) to revise or update any information contained in this document or in the presentation, regardless of whether that information is affected as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The distribution of this document or any information contained in it may be restricted by law, and any person into whose possession any document containing this presentation or any part of it comes should inform themselves about, and observe, any such restrictions. The PartyGaming shares to be issued in connection with the Proposed Merger have not been, and will not be, registered under or offered in compliance with applicable securities laws of any state, province, territory or jurisdiction of Canada, Australia or Japan and no regulatory clearances in respect of the such PartyGaming shares have been, or will be, applied for in any jurisdictions other than the UK and Austria. Accordingly, unless an exemption under the relevant securities laws is applicable, such PartyGaming shares are not being, and may not be, offered, sold, resold, delivered or distributed, directly or indirectly, in or into, Canada, Australia or Japan or to, or for the account or benefit of, any person resident in Canada, Australia or Japan. The Proposed Merger between PartyGaming and bwin relates to the shares of non-us companies and is subject to the disclosure requirements applicable in Austria, Gibraltar and the United Kingdom to statutory mergers, which differ from the disclosure requirements of the United States. Any financial information included in this document has been prepared in accordance with international financial reporting standards and thus may not be comparable to the financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It may be difficult for investors to enforce their rights and any claim they may have arising under the US federal securities laws. PartyGaming is a Gibraltar company, and some or all of its officers and directors are residents of countries other than the United States. Investors may not be able to sue a non-us company or its officers or directors in a non-us court for violations of the US securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a non-us company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court s judgment. Deutsche Bank is acting as sponsor, corporate broker and financial adviser to PartyGaming and no-one else in connection with the Proposed Merger and will not be responsible to anyone other than PartyGaming for providing the protections afforded to the clients of Deutsche Bank nor for providing advice in relation to the Proposed Merger or any other matter referred to herein. McQueen is acting as financial adviser to bwin and no-one else in connection with the Proposed Merger and will not be responsible to anyone other than bwin for providing the protections afforded to the clients of McQueen nor for providing advice in relation to the Proposed Merger or any other matter referred to herein. By attending the presentation and/or accepting and/or accessing this document you (a) agree to the above and (b) represent and warrant that you are a relevant person (as defined above). 2
