Playtech stated on Thursday its shareholder TTB Partners sought the gambling software maker to launch it from takeover guidelines that forestall it from making a fresh supply for the British firm after the Aristocrat deal collapsed.
The London-listed agency, whose shareholders rejected a 2.1 billion pound ($2.85 billion) takeover bid from Aristocrat Leisure, stated any supply by its no. 2 shareholder TTB Partners, which suggested an earlier bid from Gopher Investment, would probably be in money.
The Hong Kong-based investor was restricted from making one other Playtech bid for six months after strolling away final November.
