Playtech scoops 'Aim-to-Main' award at The Grant Thornton Quoted Company Awards

Playtech, the international designer, developer and licensor of software for the online, mobile, TV and land-based gaming industry, is proud to have been honoured for its move to the Main Market at last night's Grant Thornton Quoted Company Awards, held at London's Natural History Museum.

The Aim-to-Main award recognises AIM companies that have progressed to the Official List of the London Stock Exchange during the previous 12 months. Shortlisted companies were required to have made considerable gains in terms of sales, profits, earnings and share price growth.

Accepting the award, Playtech's Chief Financial Officer, Ron Hoffman, said: "This award recognises not only of the dedication, team work and customer focus of all Playtech's people, but also the support of the City, our shareholders and our dedicated advisers."

"Since its AIM debut in 2006, Playtech has sought to deliver innovation, growth and high quality shareholder returns. In doing so our ambitions have led to the Company's Main Market graduation, which we achieved in July last year. Our desire to continue growing the business endures and we look to the future with confidence and optimism."
