Evoke, the owner of William Hill, agrees to be taken over by a Greek gaming group in a deal valued at £243 million, according to reporting. The agreement follows events in which Evoke is described as having been pushed to put itself up for sale after a “Budget tax raid.” The sources provided do not include details on the identity of the Greek bidder, deal structure, or timing for completion. They also do not specify whether the transaction is subject to regulatory approvals or shareholder votes. The reporting frames the sale process as resulting from tax-related measures referenced in the Budget, which allegedly contributed to Evoke’s decision to seek a buyer. Overall, the available information confirms the existence of the agreed takeover and the headline value, while leaving out finer points such as expected integration plans, any impact on operations, or specific terms beyond the transaction price.
