Full Tilt Poker in discussions with multiple groups regarding takeover

Tilt Poker have confirmed that they are still in negotiations regarding the sale of the company, although the period of exclusivity for one interested party has ended.

The company’s brand executor, Irish-based Pocket Kings Ltd, have released a statement in which it is revealed that despite the ending of the exclusivity period they still hope to resume talks with the initial potential investor. However, it was also confirmed that negotiations are now underway with other interested parties.

The full statement reads:

On August 16, Irish based Pocket Kings Ltd., brand executor for the Full Tilt Poker moniker, concluded the exclusivity period of negotiations with their current potential investor.

While Pocket Kings Ltd. plans to continue discussions with its current investor, the company has now begun negotiations with additional potential investors to conclude the sale/partnership of the Full Tilt Poker brand and its assets.

Full Tilt Poker apologizes for its lack of communication with its customers over the last month and a half, but it has been grappling with unexpected and complex legal and financial issues arising from Black Friday and its aftermath. In addition, the company has had to be circumspect about disclosing the progress of negotiations with potential investors because there is often a requirement of strict confidentiality.

To the extent that it can do so without jeopardizing future opportunities, Full Tilt Poker will strive to have better communication with its customers going forward. Full Tilt Poker's number one priority remains the same: to secure an infusion of capital to repay all of its worldwide customers.
