As part of its deal to acquire Ladbrokes Coral, completed in March 2018, GVC agreed to pay CVRs to former Ladbrokes shareholders if legislation on new maximum stakes for fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs) was not passed before 28 March 2019.
On 14 November 2018, the UK government announced maximum FOBT stakes would drop from £100 to £2 in April 2019.
GVC has subsequently announced its representatives and CVR holders consulted one another and agreed the CVRs, and the loan notes which each CVR holder may have had a right to, hold no value.
The CVRs have been cancelled and are not available for re-issue.
