Meridian Holdings says Brazil betting ban has immaterial revenue impact
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

- Brazil's President signed a Provisional Measure on Sept. 25, 2026 banning online betting, intermediation and advertising, and requiring funds returned to bettors.
- Meridianbet operates in Brazil through Meridian Gaming Brasil SPE Ltda under authorization SPA/MF nº 0086/2024, granted by Portaria SPA/MF nº 526 of March 14, 2025.
- Meridian Holdings says Brazil represents an immaterial share of group revenue and that it entered the market conservatively with limited marketing spend.
- The Brazilian authorization runs until Dec. 31, 2029; the measure is valid 60 days, may be extended once for 60 more, and needs Congress approval to remain in effect.
