Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed December 3, 2024. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Flutter Entertainment plc filed this Form 8-K on December 3, 2024 under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) to furnish, as Exhibit 99.1, a Regulatory News Service announcement concerning transactions in Company securities by persons discharging managerial responsibilities (PDMRs).
The announcement was made to comply with the UK Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. The filing contains no financial results, guidance, or other operational disclosures beyond the insider transaction details. The exhibit reports two insider transactions, both dated December 3, 2024 and both involving ordinary shares of EUR0.09 each.
Chief Executive Officer Peter Jackson exercised 155 options under the Flutter Entertainment plc Sharesave Scheme (a UK HMRC-approved Save As You Earn plan) at £115.96 per share. Chief Financial Officer Robert Coldrake exercised the same 155 options at £115.96 and then sold 155 ordinary shares at £218.359355 per share on the London Stock Exchange, plus a further 27 shares at £218.38 per share, also on the London Stock Exchange.
For investors, the filing is primarily a routine governance and transparency disclosure. The only substantive insider activity is the CFO's sale of shares, which the filing reports at prices of about £218 per share, and the CEO's option exercise, which the filing does not pair with any sale.
