Bulletin from Unibet Group plc's Annual General Meeting

Today, at the Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved the proposed
dividend of GBP 0.23 (equivalent to SEK 2.75 on 10 February 2009 exchange rates
and payable in SEK). This will be paid to owners of shares/SDRs, on the register
on the Euroclear Sweden AB record date of 13 May 2009. The dividend is expected
to be distributed by Euroclear Sweden AB on 22 May 2009. 

Messrs Kristofer Arwin, Peter Boggs, Daniel Johannesson, Peter Lindell, Staffan
Persson and Anders Ström were re-elected as Directors of the Company. In
addition, Mr. Daniel Johannesson was elected as Chairman and Anders Ström was
elected as Deputy Chairman.

In addition, at the Annual General Meeting, the resolution to pay a total fee of
GBP 379,250 to Directors elected at the AGM, who are not employed by the
Company, was also approved by Shareholders. It was also agreed that the Board of
Directors will distribute the fee within the Board so that the Chairman will
receive a fee of GBP 90,000, the Deputy Chairman a fee of GBP 117,000 and a fee
of GBP 30,000 be paid to each other Director, and an additional GBP 10,000 be
paid for Audit Committee work, 3,500 for Remuneration Committee work and GBP
10,000 for Legal Committee work and an additional GBP 1,750 be paid to the
Chairman of each committee. This is unchanged compared with last year.

The Annual General Meeting approved that the Nomination Committee shall, up to
the time that a new Nomination Committee is appointed in accordance with a
mandate from the next General Meeting of the company, consist of the Chairman of
the Board of Directors and representatives from the at least four other of the
largest shareholders in the company at the end of the third quarter 2009. The
Nomination Committee shall appoint as its chairman the representative of the
largest shareholder in terms of voting rights. Should a member of the Nomination
Committee leave his or her post on the committee before the committee's work for
the year has been completed, if it is deemed necessary a replacement shall be
appointed by the same shareholder who appointed the retiring member of the
committee or, if this shareholder is no longer one of the largest shareholders,
by another shareholder from the group of major shareholders in the company. No
remuneration will be paid to the members of the Nomination Committee.

The names of the members of the Nomination Committee shall be announced no later
than on the date of publication of the company's interim report for the third
quarter in 2009.

The meeting also approved that the directors obtain authority to buy back GBP
0.005 Ordinary Shares/SDR's in the Company (the purpose of buyback being to
achieve added value for the Company's shareholders); 
(a) the maximum number of shares/SDR's that may be so acquired is 2,794,319; 
(b) the minimum price that may be paid for the shares/SDR is 1 SEK per share/SDR
exclusive of tax;
(c) the maximum price that may be so paid be 1,000 SEK per share/SDR and
(d) the authority conferred by this resolution shall expire on the date of the
2010 Annual General Meeting but not so as to prejudice the completion of a
purchase contracted before that date.  

The Board of Directors proposes that the acquisition of shares/SDR's shall take
place on the NASDAQ OMX Nordic Exchange in Stockholm or via an offer to acquire
the shares/SDR's to all shareholders. Repurchases may take place on multiple
occasions and will be based on market terms, prevailing regulations and the
capital situation at any given time. Notification of any purchase will be made
to the NASDAQ OMX Nordic Exchange in Stockholm and details will appear in the
Company's annual report and accounts. 

The objective of the buyback is to achieve added value for the Company's
shareholders and to give the Board increased flexibility with the Company's
capital structure. 

Following repurchase the intention of the Board would be to either cancel, use
as consideration for an acquisition or issue to employees under a Share Option
programme. Once repurchased under the Maltese Companies Act further shareholder
approval will be required before those shares could be cancelled only. If used
as consideration for an acquisition the intention would be that they would be
issued as shares/SDR's and not sold first.

Also at today's Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved that the Directors
be duly authorised and empowered in accordance with Articles 85(2) and 88(7) of
the Companies Act, with immediate effect, for a period of 5 years from the date
of this resolution, to issue and allot up to a maximum of 1,000,000 shares in
the Company of a nominal value of GBP 0.005 each solely for the purpose of
issuing shares to holders and future holders of options under the Unibet Group
plc Executive share option schemes, without first offering the said shares to
existing Shareholders. This resolution was being taken in terms and for the
purposes of the approvals necessary in terms of the Companies Act and the
Articles of Association of the Company.
