888 Holdings caused further concerns by issuing a very unusual announcement, in which some of the agreements made during the takeover of Wink Bingo were released.
In the statement, 888 Holdings said: “Prior to payment of the full earn-out amount … 888 may not declare or pay any dividends or make distributions to shareholders, pay extraordinary management or advisory fees and bonuses, make any material acquisitions or disposals; or take any steps to delist or suspend 888?s shares.”
