OPAP following recent web press articles would like to clarify that:
The Company's intention is to investigate any potential growth opportunity abroad which would be in line with its mid and long term strategic plan. Accordingly, OPAP is systematically and closely monitoring the recent developments in the global market and assesses all the potential interesting options offered.
It is obvious however that currently OPAP's main focus and effort is towards the ten year licence of the Turkish National lottery (Milli Piyango), where the privatisation tender is in its final crucial stage with the binding bids submission.
In any case, OPAP is operating very carefully, targeting always in creating added value for its shareholders.
