Dave Gadhia and Peter Rigby have decided not to seek re-election at the annual general meeting to be held on April 29 and will, therefore, step down from the board at the conclusion of that meeting.

Holly Koeppel and Nancy Dubuc will be appointed as independent non-executive directors. Dubuc's appointment will take effect from  April 29 and Koeppel's appointment will take effect from May 13.

Commenting on the changes, chair of the group Gary McGann said: "Since the successful merger of Flutter and The Stars Group  we have mapped out a board renewal programme over the coming years, having regard to the scale, geographic breadth and direction of travel of the business, in addition to enhanced gender balance and diversity."
