Other material provisions relating to the New SSNs and the 2024 Note Exchange remain as set out in the First Press Release.

The Lock-Up Agreement contemplates that following the completion of the transaction, the Intralot, Inc. Group will operate, to the extent possible, as standalone entities. The Group and the Intralot, Inc. Group are party to an agreement that the business of supplying online gaming systems, retailer communication networks and point of sale equipment such as terminals and vending machines, and other technology and support services, to the lottery industry and in relation to sports betting activities will be carried out solely by the Intralot, Inc. Group in the territories of United States of America and its territories and possessions, Mexico, Canada and the Philippines. The Intralot, Inc. Group historically has engaged, and intends to continue to engage, in significant transactions with the Group relating to, among other things, man power support, administrative services, leasing, intellectual property and licensing costs.

In the period between the year ended December 31, 2020 and the year ending December 31, 2024, the Group estimates that these contracts could result in net cash payments of approximately 鈧�16.0 million from the Intralot, Inc. Group to the Group with approximately 鈧�2.0 million and 鈧�8.0 million of payments for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the projected year ending December 31, 2021, respectively, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the transactions, excluding licenses costs and services from new projects not currently contracted.
