Q: Hi,
What is your opinion of NYX's press release today outlining a new commercial agreement with Scientific Games which essentially stymies what William Hill is trying to protect with it's conversion to common shares (US sports betting software control).
The one loophole still remaining for William Hill to defend it's US turf at this point seems to be clause ii) - (ii) by either Scientific Games or NYX if the arrangement agreement dated September 20, 2017 in respect of the Acquisition (the "Arrangement Agreement") is terminated in connection with NYX entering into a superior proposal or the board of NYX making a change in recommendation and in either case the superior proposal is consummated.
What is your outlook given this new information? Does it now seem more likely that the pressure is mounting for William Hill to either make a higher bid or accept the offer?
