INTRALOT S.A. : Announcement
|
INTRALOT's implementation of the important project in Hamburg's State Lottery "LOTTO HAMBURG" -is concluded, as the official launch took place and was announced during a press conference held earlier this day. LOTTO HAMBURG is the state lottery of Hamburg and has been operating for more than 50 years in the state. LOTTO HAMBURG has developed a network of 500 POS and generated euro 209.6 M. in sales in 2006.
After a period of hard development work, the new live lottery system -which is provided in a pilot context and that includes the customization and installation of LOTOS (the base platform of INTRALOT's integrated gaming management system) along with the POS terminal software-, has been successfully launched in order to provide LOTTO HAMBURG with a modern state-of-the-art gaming system.
This investment was of strategic importance for INTRALOT, as it is the first time that LOTOS O/S is installed in the thriving German market and moreover it will be the "vaulting horse" for INTRALOT's future activity in Germany as well as the strengthening of its presence in the E.U.
Mr. Siegfried Spies, the Managing Director of LOTTO HAMBURG, said: "Thanks to the cooperation with INTRALOT and the pilot operation of LOTOS O/S, we raised the foundation for a technology revolution. The magic formula is: use of standard products and standard technology. This is cost-saving and decreases own expenses for development. Looking back to the period of development, I can say that the cooperation with INTRALOT and ADESSO was very good, and it was fun to work towards presenting today to the market such good new solutions".
INTRALOT's CEO, Mr. Constantinos Antonopoulos, stated: "The successful completion of the project proves INTRALOT's strong commitment to its customers and its strong implementation capabilities to technologically advanced countries, as Germany is. This investment allowed us to better tailor our integrated gaming system for the demanding German market and provide LOTTO HAMBURG with a solution that meets its specific requirements. Finally, É would like to thank LOTTO HAMBURG's management and employees for the opportunity they gave to us to cooperate with them, as well as ADESSO for their professionalism".

INTRALOT S.A. : Reply to ATHEX Letter
|
In relation to your question sent with your letter no 02.07.07 concerning an article of a financial internet site regarding the judicial developments of the subsidiary company Inteltek in Turkey and in the frame of the prompt and reliable information of the investment public, as this results from the articles 281 and 285 of the ASE Regulation, we reply the following:
The reported on the above publication have already been explicitly disclosed in the notes of the financial statements of our Company dated March 31st, 2007. More specifically:
The request of the organization Spor Toto for exceeding payments is noted under item "j" of the abovementioned financial statements of the Company. It is only noted that the sole development relates to the date of the hearing of the lawsuit filed by Inteltek before the civil court of Ankara (requesting to be recognized that there is no charge for the same services and to return to itself the amounts withheld) which has been set for 17.7.2007, because, at the initially date of hearing set 31.5.2007, the court requested that the investigation file of the court Sayistay is submitted to it. For the abovementioned request, Inteltek has already made provisions and, therefore, in case of a negative outcome of the case, the financial results of the Company will not be affected.
Moreover, under note "h" of the abovementioned financial statements of the Company, it is noted that Inteltek has filed recourses before the civil courts of Ankara claiming to suspend the execution of the interruption of the game's operation and of the contract and to restitute to the previous situation and that the respective decisions are pending. There is not any development in relation to these recourses until today.
In relation to the case of the company "Reklam Departmani" alleged to have filed a recourse against Spor Toto, this is not known to Inteltek (and, consequently, to the Company). No document has been served to Inteltek, while this case also is not mentioned in the notes of the financial statements of the other shareholder of Inteltek, that is of the company Turkcell, as implied in the abovementioned publication. Based on the above, the Company cannot proceed to any relevant comment.
It is self evident that in case there are further developments in relation to the above matters, our Company will proceed to the required announcements to the competent Authorities and to the investment public as provided by the current legislation.
