Allwyn Sets Scrip Reference Price at €11.29
Shareholders electing to reinvest a €0.20 per share interim distribution will receive shares priced at the reference level announced November 4, 2026.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Gambling
Allwyn AG set the scrip reference share price at €11.29 per share, the figure used to determine how shareholders' reinvested interim distributions convert into new shares. Shareholders may elect to reinvest the €0.20 per common share interim distribution in shares until November 5, 2026.
Why it matters
The reference price determines how many shares eligible holders receive when they opt into the scrip programme instead of cash. Shareholders who do not elect scrip will receive the distribution in cash.
The scrip reference price of €11.29 was derived from the volume-weighted average price of common shares over five trading days, ending two trading days before the election period closes. The total number of shares to be issued under the scrip programme has not been disclosed in the available extraction.
The players
Allwyn AG
Allwyn AG is a European gaming and lottery operator whose shares trade in Europe and whose scrip programme allows shareholders to reinvest dividend-style distributions.
Eurobank SA
Eurobank SA is a Greek commercial bank serving as paying agent for Allwyn's interim distribution in cash to shareholders who do not elect scrip.
The details
Allwyn's board of directors approved the €0.20 per share interim distribution on August 20, 2026. The reference price was calculated from share price performance between October 27 and November 3, 2026, and Eurobank SA is serving as paying bank for cash payments scheduled for November 2026.
Timeline
August 20, 2026: Board approved the interim distribution.
October 23, 2026: Reinvestment election period opens.
October 27 to November 3, 2026: Share price window used for the reference price.
November 4, 2026: Scrip reference price of €11.29 announced.
November 5, 2026: Scrip election period closes.
Market Landscape
Scrip dividend programmes let listed companies conserve cash while offering shareholders the choice of new shares, and Allwyn's use of a five-day VWAP window to set the reference price follows that established model. The approach gives eligible holders a market-linked conversion rate tied to recent trading, rather than a fixed price set in advance.
Shareholders who want new shares rather than cash must lodge their scrip election by November 5, 2026, with the €11.29 reference price determining the share count. Holders who take no action will receive the €0.20 per share distribution in cash through the Dematerialised Securities System.
The takeaway
Shareholders deciding between cash and scrip should compare the €0.20 per share cash value against the value of shares issued at the €11.29 reference price before the November 5, 2026 deadline.
What happens next
Shareholders must submit scrip elections by November 5, 2026, and cash distributions of €0.20 per share are scheduled for payment in November 2026.
