Stéphane Pallez, Chairwoman and CEO of FDJ, said: “2019 will be remembered as a landmark year for La Française des Jeux with the great success of its initial public offering to numerous institutional investors, individual shareholders and Group employees. 2019 was also characterised by very strong growth in all our businesses, across all sales channels, both physical and digital, and the Group’s excellent operating and financial performances. These results allow us to adjust our 2020 outlook upwards and to look forward with renewed confidence to the deployment of our sustainable growth strategy, in line with our commitments to CSR and responsible gaming.”

Due to the fact that it would be impossible, under the current circumstances, to hold the Group’s first General Meeting post IPO as scheduled on 22 April and ensure high attendance by FDJ’s new individual shareholders, the Meeting is now postponed to 18 June. For this reason, the payment date for the dividend of €0.64 per share, initially planned for 6 May, is rescheduled to 30 June.
